Although it has happened that withia the past year voluntary testimonials
have been constantly received from hundreds of siinu people, men and women who
need no iotrodudtioo to any aeotion of this great country
Still the greatest pride of the makrs of the remedy is not so rmiob the reliance
that the rioh and titled have oome to plaoe upon it; hut the good that Paine s
oelery oompeuud ia doing in the army ol people wboBe circle of acquaintances is
limited to tbeir immediate neighbors, the good it is doing among bard working
people, whose health is no less valuable than that of the famous or wealthy, and
whose heart-felt testimonials are the best of all tributes to the first among Amer
ican physicians, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D.
He discovered a remedy that could be put within the reach of the poor as well
aa the rich, a remedy that has revolutionised in a few years the general practice of
medicine, .
Until this disoovery tbera waa no oure for the mnny ills that women suffer
women whose nervous system, for one re moo and another, is impaired, whose life
ia a burden on aooount of what are ordinarily termed "female ailments."
The pains and aohea which our mothers thought tbey must endure, now van
ish entirely under the curative, health giving influence of Puiue's oelery compound.
Like nothing else, it gives new vigor, new life, new strength. It makei nervous,
ailing women well and oheerful. It dispels sleeplessness; headaobes disappear,
Paine's oelery oompouod makes it unnecessary for women, at any stage of life, to
sniljr from those serious ills that afflict so many. And Paine's oelery oompound
not merely relieves but permanently cures.

Padarewskl Thinks That Plaalsts Bheald

When radcrewskl waa in New York
'.he waa calling at a prominent Wali
street man'a home In Fifth avenue
when the broker told him he would
like to have his opinion of hla daugh
ter playing, saya the New York Jour
nal. The great pianntt courteoualy re
plied that nothing would give him
greater pleasure.
After tho young lady had dashed off
several selections l'adcrewnkl aald:
"To get the greatest enjoyment from
tne piano the music must not only be
heard but the performer should bo
Been. The performer should therefore
be careful of hla or her poaitlon at the
Instrument.
"I will be frank with you and Bay
that I preferred to see rather than hear
your daughter play. I might better
nay that I looked more than I listened,
hue held l.eraelf correctly. There la
nothing I hate more than a listless,
careless posture of the body while
playing.
"Then there waa life In her touch.
Per finger fairly a park led aa they ran
over the board and touched the key,
reliounding from them with a anap
that wa exhilarating to behold. Her
manner of using her hand and her el
bowing. If I may o eall it, showed
prota-r training also.
I will therefor add that my aenae
of hearing would have lieen equally de

on her aeeotnplb hment."

A Necklace That Bold for Nearly Eighty
Thousand Founds.
The Inman of Muscat possesses a
pearl weighing twelve and a half
carats, through which you can see day
light; it is worth about 33,000. The
one owned by Princess Yousoupoff ia
unique for beauty. It was sold, says
the Gentleman's Magazine, by Georgi
bus, of Calais, in 1020, to Philip IV., of
Spain, for 80,000 ducats; its present
value is about 36,000. The pope, on
his accession, became the owner for the
time being of a pearl, left by one of his
predecessor? upon the throne of the
Vatican, which cannot be of less value
than 20,000. ' Empress Frederick has
a necklace composed of thirty-two
nearls. the total value of which has
been estimated at 35,000. Her mother,
Queen Victoria, has a necklace of pink
pearls worth 10,000. That of Baro
ness Gustave de Rothschild, made up
of five rows of these precious stones, is
valued at 40,000, while that of liar
ones Adc'phe de Rothschild is even
more costly still. Both of these ladies
have given orders to their jewelers to
bring to them any "pearls of great
price" which . may oome into, their
hands in the way of business. .The
gems are usually purchased by one or
the other of these ladies and added to
her necklace.
Good judges are doubtful whether
to award the , palm to either of the
above two or to that of the empress of
Russia, who has seven rows of pure
white pearls, valued at something like
80,000 rubles, but the atones of which
are perhaps less beautiful to the eye.
The one belonging to Grand Duchess
Marin has six rows and is said to have
cost 36,000.
Mile. Dosnoe, a sister of M. Thiers,
has a necklace of several rows, which
has taken her thirty years to collect,
and has cost her upward of 15,000. The
empreaaof Austria posaeaaes aome of the
most beautiful black pearls it ia possi
ble to find; her casket and that of the
czarina of Russia are, in fact, the most
famous in the world for pearls of thla
color.
Mine. Lconlde Leblano Bold her neck
lace of pearls a year or' two ago for
jcirly 30,000, but in consequence of
certain matters which were whispered
about at the time she bought it back.
The stone In It graduate la sise, and
are exceedingly beautiful in shape and
luster.

Aii American woman who ia married
to an English squire of high degree
tells the following funny story of the
fate of half a down cunvasbnek ducks
which she had sent to England as a
present to her mother-in-law. The
latter wa an eacellent housekeeper
and had professed herself to tie anx
ious to taste the renowned trans-At

extravagantly praised. Carefully
packed In lec, the game arrived In good
condition, and I.ady M , the recipi

"Fancy my feeling," said the pretty
American, deacribing the affair after
ward, "when a pair of ducka were
brought on the table done to death
and bluffed with onions, aaga and pota
toes, while my father-in-law, carefully
carving up the entire bird, leg, wlnga

A Society Girl' Experience While on Ylsl
to the House of Tennyson.
Some of the difficulties of living up
to a disguise are illustrated in an old
story recently printed in Blackwood'a
Magazine., It is part of a lady's journal .
kept in the year 1839, and tells her ex- '
perience in visiting the Tennyson f ami v
ly in the guise of a lady's maid- Her . '
friend, .Mrs. Neville, who was invited
to make the visit, could not afford ' a
maid or a nurse for her little girl, so ,
the young woman volunteered to act in . (
that capacity under the name "Marion
Langlais." They both belonged to the :
same literary club which included Mary
and Emily Tennyson, says the New ,
York Sun, but as she had never met
them she considered herself safe from v .
suspicion. She arranged her pretty .
tresses under a coarse black wig, and
quite transformed herself into a con-
ventional lady's maid. As soon as they .
arrived at the poet's house her troubles
began. She was expected to ' sleep
with the housemaid, and aside from
her unwelcome company she found it
awkward to dispose of her black wig,
and had to wait for the wondering girl
to fall asleep before she could settle
herself for tho night. After a few daya

dining-room aa waitress, and. had her-. .
first glimpse of the poet. Her Journal -says:
"I was to wait at table, and my heart beat so .
fast as I went In that I could hear nothing else -for
a few minutes, for on entering the room I
saw Alfred Tenuyson at lnstl And Frederick, .
Horatio, Emily, Mury and the mother. Was it
a delusion thut I stood there behind them, .
chanKing their platos, helping them, and they

nt 'Murlonf Was I asleep whoa the maid of
all work thrust a handful of dirty fork into
my hand and bid me 'out and wash 'em quick
and bring 'em up!' I did do all this many time
before dinner was over, and, though I did lb
very well, my bund shook so the first time I
took Alfred Tennyson' plate that I thought U
must be soon. The romance ot the affair rushed
over me."
The pot t began to observe her very
closely after thia, and ahe became so
nervous that she nearly forgot her part.
One dny as alio was passing the open
door of his room, where he lay smok
ing and rendiiig, he called her In and
asked her to bring him a book from
downstairs. Ho attempted to describe)
it, but it was a German work and he
thought she could not read it "I
know," slut siild, and quickly went
down and brought It to him. "So you
understand lieriniin," he said, and bhe
gave an evasive reply and left tho
room. ThMt evening at dinner Tenny
son could not druw a cork from a beer
bottle and nftcr everyone had triad and

I your Miirlon? She can do It; she can
do everything, from rending German to
waiting at table. Let her try." Marlon
came, and, amid a chorus of apologies
and explanations, she drew the cork.
Another iluy at dinner she was sum
moned to the table for some trivial rea
son and it was found out afterwarda
thut it was to settle a dispute about th
color of her eyes. Eventually her
