The Imperial seals of the Dowager
Empress of China were recently sold
by auction in London. There are no
duplicates to these very Interesting and
beautiful specimens of Chinese art, and
therefore they are of special value to
the wealthy connoisseur. The seals
are four in number, and are of green
jadestones. They are of interest to
artists, for the strong-minded dowager
was much addicted to painting water
colors, and to prevent any doubt being
cast upon them as not the genuine pro
duct of ber own imperial hand, and
that posterity should also be enlight
ened as to her genius, she used to af
fix one of these jadestone seals upon
them. The Phoenix Is carved on two
of these seals. This is the .special
mark or crest of an empress dowager
of the empire. But the lady autocrat
was not satisfied with the Phoenix
alone. Having usurped the reins of
government, she arrogated to herself
the prerogatives of the Emperor, and
added the Dragon to her own emblem
of majesty. This makes the pair of
seals belonging to Yi-Kun Palace of
especial value, and will be a token to
succeeding generations of her usurpa
tion and reality of power in the em
pire. One of the seals is of an espe
cially beautiful design. It Is of white
jade, the surface of which is a beau
tiful red color. It belonged to the Em-
! peror Kien Lung (1736-95), and is stat
j ed to have been carved by himself, his
majesty having been quite an artist in
his way. It bears the words, -It is
only the learned of the present day
who love the lore of the ancients."
In the cut are shown the impressions
of two of the seals, the Dowager Em
press' ordinary seal and the Emperor's
Yi-Kun seal. The Inscription of the
former is translated. "Nourish your
mind and nurse your spirits," while
that of the latter is "Written by the
Imperial Hand in the Yi-Kun Palace."
AND THE CAT CAME BACK.
This Angora Beauty Was So Destruc
tive, Said the Domestics.
A Brooklyn woman recently gave
away her pet cat, an Angora of great
beauty, although she was much attach
ed to it. But the cat had broken many
plates, two cream jugs, a teapot, sev
eral teacups, several handsome pieces
of bric-a-brac; had drunk cream and
milk intended for breakfast on several
occasions, and had stolen several
sweetbreads when the ice chest was
left open. Nevertheless, this destructive
cat was a great favorite with the cook,
chambermaid, and dining-room girl,
who won their mistress' heart by al
most crying when she sent it away.
Two days after the Angora's de
parture its mistress found a handsome
hand-painted plate on the dining-room
table broken in several pieces. She
asked the maid about it.
"I dunno," answered the maid, "how
it happened, unless puss came back and
paid a visit. You know, mum, cats has
a way of comin' back."
"Yes, so I understand, Mary, and I
think puss will soon be with us again,
so that she will not have to make vis
its," replied the mistress.
That night she wrote a letter to the
friend who had taken the cat, saying:
"Send puss back, for I think I have
discovered the cat or cats for whose
acts she has been blamed."
Puss was brought back, and for a
wonder the domestics don't like her as
much as they ouoe did. She is not so
welcome in the kitchen, but then she
has reformed. Her mistress furnished
the key to her reformation when she
told the story to a friend.
"You see," she said, "she has quit do
ing damage since I told the domestics
that I would hold them responsible for
all the damages she did and would take
enough out of their earnings to pay for
the damage. Since that they have
watched her so closely that she has
neither broken any dishes, drunk any
cream, nor eaten any sweetbreads."
And the owner of the cat smiled at
her friend, says the New York Times,
and actually winked.
DAN GROSVENOR SAYS:
"Peronaisan Excellent Spring Catarrh
Remedy I am as Well as Ever.
Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, of the famous Ohio
family.
Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, deputy au
ditor for the war department, in a let
ter written from Washington, D. C,
says:
"Allow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from one
bottle of Per una. One week has
brought wonderful changes and I am
now as well as ever. Besides being
one of the very best spring tonics it is
an excellent catarrh remedy." Very
respectfully, Dan. A. Grosvenor.
Hal P. Denton, chief national export
exposition, Philadelphia, Pa., writes:
"I was completely rundown fiom over
work and the reeponsiDility naturally
connected with the exploitation of a
great international exposition. My
physician recommended an extended
vacation. When life seemed almost a
burden I began taking Peruna, and
with the use of the fifth bottle I found
myself in a normal condition. I have
since enjoyed the best of health."
Almost everybody needs a tonic in
the spring. Something to brace the
nerves, invigorate "the brain, and
cleanse the blood. That Peruna will
do this is beyond all question. Every
one who has tried it has had the same
experience as Mrs. D. W. Timberlake,
of Lynchburg, Va., who, in a recent
letter, made use of the following words:
"I always take a dose of Peruna after
business hours, as it is a great thing
for the nerves. There is no better
spring tonic, and I have used about
all of them."

A FENIMORE COOPER LETTER.
Famous Novelist Called Europe a Ro
mance and America Humdrum.
Here Is an interesting letter, in the
possession of a well-known autograph
collector, that, according to the Phila
delphia Record, Fenimore Cooper wrote
to his publishers in 1S31:
"I hope you will be wrong In antici
pating a bad reception for 'The
Bravo.' I cannot tell you much of Its
reception in Europe, though Gosselln
says it is very decidedly successful in
France. -America is, of all couutries,
one of the least favorable to works of
the imagination. In Europe, or, rather
in England, where there has existed
a necessity of accounting for some suc
cess In the very teeth of the'r preju
dices and wishes. It has been the fash
ion to say that no writer ever enjoyed
so favorable an opportunity as I, be
cause I am an American and a sailor.
As to the sailor part of the business,
it Is grossly absurd; for what advant-
age has an American sailor over any
other? They know the falsehood of
what they say iu this respect, for I
can get 3.000 for a nautical tale that j
shall celebrate English skill to-morrow.
"For myself. I can write two Euro-
pean stories easier than I can write '
one American. Why, Europe itself is
a romance, while all America Is a matter-of-fact,
humdrum, common-sense
region from Quaddy to Cape Florida."

He was obviously anxious, and she

ANOTHER GRAND REPORT FROM
HIS MAJESTY'S DOCKYARD.
AT PORTSMOUTH,
ENGLAND.
Where Upwards of 10,000 Men Are Con.
stantly Employed.
Some time ago the Portsmouth Times
and Naval Gazette published a most
thrilling and remarkable experience of
the wife of Mr. Frederick Payne, him
self connected with the Portsmouth
Dockyard for many years. The report
produced a great sensation, not only in
Portsmouth, but throughout the coun
try, being considered of sufficient im
portance for reprod action and editorial
comment by the leading metropolitan
and Provincial Press of England, as
showing the marvelous powers which
St. Jacobs Oil possesses as a cure for
Rheumatism, its application having
effected a perfect cure in the case of
Mrs. Payne, after having been a help
less cripple and given up by several
physicians.
We have now further evidence of its
intrinsic value as a Pain Conqueror.
Our readers will do well to follow the
intelligent and highly interesting de
tails as given in Mrs. Rabbets' own
words :
To the Proprietors St. Jacobs Oil :
Gentlemen My husband, who is a
shipwright in His Majesty's Dockyard,
met with an accident to his ankle and
leg, spraining both so badly that his
leg turned black from his knee to his
toes. The Dr. said it would be months
before he could put his foot to the
ground, and it was doubtful whether he
would ever get proper use of his leg
again.
A few davs after the accident I had a
book left at the door telling about St.
Jacobs Oil, I procured a bottle from our
chemist, Mr. Arthur Creswell, 379
Commercial Road. I began to use St.
Jacobs Oil, and you may guess my sur
prise, when in about another week from
that date, my husband could not only
stand, but could even walk about, and
in three weeks from the time I first
ued the Oil my husband was back at
work, and everybody talking about his
wonderful recovery. This is not all.
Seeing what St. Jacobs Oil could do
gave me faith in your- Vogeler's Cur
ative Compound, also favorably men
tioned in the book left at my house. I
determined to try the compound on my
little girl, who was suffering from a
dreadful skin disease, the treatment of
which has cost me large turns of money
in going from one doctor to another
with her, all to no purpose.
She has taken two bottles of Vogeler's
Curative Compound, and one would
now hardly take her for the same child,
her skin has got such a nice, healthy
color after the sallow look she has
always had.
I shall never cease to be thankff ul for
the immense benefit we have derived
from these two great remdies of yours.
I think it a duty to recommend these
medicines now I have proved their
value.

Shortly after Walt Whitman's
"Leaves of Grass" made Its appear
ance, J. T. Trowbridge was walking
with Lowell in Cambridge, when the
latter pointed out a doorway sign.
"Groceries,'' with" the letters set zig
zag, to produce a bizarre effect. "That,"
said he, 'is Walt Whitman with very
comma goods inside."
While he was In England, "Mark
Twain says his head was once taxed
as gasworks. He wrote Queen Victoria
a friendly letter of protest, saying: "I
don't know youK but Pre met your son.
He was at the head of a procession in
the Strand, and I was on a 'bus." Years
afterward he met the Prince of Wales,
now TCtng Edward VII- at Horn burg.
They had a long walk and talk to
gether. When bidding him good by,
the Prince said: "I am glad to have met
yen again.' This remark troubled
Twain, who feared that he had been
mistaken for some one else. He com
municated this suspicion to the Prince,
whe replied: "Why, don't you remem
ber when you met me on the Strand
and I was at the bead of a procession,

It Is related that about ten years ago
Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford were
traveling through the Middle West in
cognito. They happened to be in
JBloemlngton, Ind., one Sunday, and
pursuant to their usual custom went to
church. They attended the, Christian
Church of Bloomington, then largely In
the hands of Amzl Atwater. When the
plate was passed for the collection
Mrs. Stanford dropped in a ten-dollar
gold piece. Mr. Atwater was the dea
con In charge of the collection taking.
It was noticed that the ushers held a
hurried conference with him when the
money was taken forward. At Its con
clusion, Mr. Atwater said: "Ladies
and gentlemen, there has evidently been
a mistake. Some one has dropped a
ten-dellar gold piece Into the collection.
If he will pass up after the services,
we will be glad to allow him to ex
change it for the amount be intended
to give." It is, of course, needless to
say that Mrs. Stanford did not take
advantage of the opportunity.
The manager of an Eastern life insur
ance company received the following

advises me that I have a pronounced
case of appendicitis, and his diagnosis
is confirmed by a specialist whom I
have consulted. I am told that the only
hope of saving my life is an operation,
which with hospital expenses will cost
$S00, an amount that I have no means
to pay. I am sensible that I owe it to
you, who have so large a pecuniary in
terest in my life, to give you the option
to pay the cost of this operation to save
my life that I may continue to pay you
for the yearly premiums on my policy
(I believe that I am otherwise strong
and healthy), or in the alternative to
pay the $20,000 to my beneficiary with
in a few weeks, i am quite willing to
be examined by any physician you may
name, and to have you select the oper
ating surgeon. Immediate attention is,
of course, imperative." The manager
is at a loss to know whether or not,
from a business standpoint, the com
pany should pay the cost of operating.
Lake Hannington.
Sir II. Johnstone, in a recent speech,
gave the following picturesque descrip
tion: "The waters appear a very deep
blue-green, and their surface is so still,
and their mirror-like reflection is so
complete, that when coming upon the
lake suddenly it is difficult to realize
that you are looking down upon a lake,
and not upon some awful chasm in the
earth's surface, over which hundreds of
thousands of flamingoes are floating:
for the only thing real about the lake
when seen uuder these conditions are
the flamingoes. Seen from above, they
look like a belt, which on its outer side
is gray-white, the young birds; white
In the middle, the half-grown ones; and
possess an inner ring of the most ex
quisite rose tint, the full-grown birds,
in the full beauty of a plumage whicn
ranges from pale blush-pink to scarlet-crimson."

Delicately formed and gently reared, women will
find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maids or wives
or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy
which acts grently and pleasantly and naturally, and
which may be used with trnly beneficial effeets, Tinder
any conditions, when the system needs a laxative is
Syrnp of Figs. It ia well known to be a simple com
bination of the laxative and carminative principles of
plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are
agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable
to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired.
Many of the ills from which women suffer are of
a transient nature and do not come from any organic
trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so
promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrnp of Figs,
but when anything more than a laxative is needed it
is best to consult the family physician and to avoid
the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos
trums of the present day. "When one needs only to
remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or
similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi
tion of the system, use the true and gentle remedy
Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the depres
sion, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which
are due to inactivity of the bowels.
Only those who buy the genuine Syrnp of Figs
can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar
antee of the excellence of the remedy the full name
of the company California Fig Syrup Co. i9
printed on the front of every package and without
it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraud
ulent and should be declined. To those who know the
quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any
substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is
always resented by a transfer of patronage to some
first-class drug establishment, where they do not
recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation
remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all
reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle.
