A CURIOUS CEREMONY.
Hew the Ferrna! Announcement of the Rus
sian Czar's Coronation was Made.
The proclamation by llie hera'ds at
Moscow that the coronation ol the
emperor had been fixed for the follow
ing Sunday at the Cathedral of the
Assumption was one of the most in
teresting spectacles as far a* the pub
lic were co.icernel, they being abso
lutely shut out of any view whatever
of the coronation ceremonies. In the
space between the senate house an I
the arsenal as early as 8 o'clock a large
number of people had assembled. The
place wa> kept clear by mounted and
foot police, who discharged their du
ties with good temper, but there was
no attempt to preserve order when the
heralds threw copies among the spec
tators. The won ler was that those
who happily (aught copies living
through the air were not torn in pieces
by those less fortunate. First the
troops arrived, 2 X) Gardes-a cheval, or
Emperor's Guard, in which tunics with
silver helmets and breastplates and red
laces with pennons.
Then came one of the most curious
parts of the procession—twelve led
horses, beautiful animals, perfectly
white, caparisoned in a gorge >us fash
ion, their whole, body, neck an I tail in
closed in a housing of yellow silk em
blazoned with the imperial eagles,
national colors and curious devices.
This cloth was drawn oil a' each ler,
ternrnat ng i i g >ld n tassels. (Jn their
heads were plumes of wi.ite ostrich
feathers. Each horse was led by two
grooms, a third walking by its fide.
The men wore high boots and splendid
dresses of b'a'k and gold. At no pre
vious proclamation ha I there been
more than six. On the present occa
sion six formed part as representing
the dignity of the t-mper >r and six the
empress. While the crowd was pa
tiently waiting the arrival of other
troops an 1 the approa h of the lit raids.
Prince Vladimir drove pas* in an open
carriage. The emperor's guards
shouted, "Good health to you!" So n
after two hundred Chevalier Guards,
or regiment of the empr ss, rode to
the ground in splendid uuiforms, which
differ slightly from those of the em
peror's-regiments. The helmets have
gold( n < agles and large pennons ot
blue. Between the squadrons of the
two regiments there was an internal
for the heral s and masters of cere
monies to take up tlit ir positions.
AVhtn they appeared there wa> the
gieatest excitement am >ng the crowd.
Half a dozen mounted g< ndarmes rode
among the people to clear t e spa e.
The two heralds were remarkably
fine men. They wore magnificent
tabards, as if kings or princes them
selves. At first sight one was irresist
ably reminded of Henry VIII., a< pic
tured at the meeting with the French
king on the field of the cloth of gold.
Their yellow silk tabards looked like a
ma-s of gold. On their breasts was the
large imperial eagle, worked in imperial
colors, an 1 a headdress of white velvet,
and turned up cap, with hanging
plumes of the imperial colors, and
broad I uff top boots. Their horses
had white trappings, with emblazoned
eagles and the im per hal cjlors. They
were accompanied by six masters of
ceremonies in full gold laced uniforms
with the secretary of the holy synod
and the other officials in court dr. -ss.
The secretary of the holy synod, with
another court functionary, rode out in
front of the line. For a moment he
was interrupted by the horse of one ot
the heralds which suddenly became
restive. With the greatest difficulty
the rider kept his st a!o Some officers
luckily closed round to prevent his
being thrown, Certainly that would
have been an unfortunate commence
ment of the ceremonies. At hast the
clock struck nine and the proclamation
was read for the first time.
As translated from the Russian it
was to the following effect: "The
grand and puissant Alexander Alexan
drovitch has ascended the throne of
his ancestors and the thrones of Po
land and of the grand duchy of Finland,
indi so'.ubly united with his sovereignty.
And according to usag 1 adopted by his
glorious prede< essors he has aeigned to
ordain that with the aid of the Om
nip tent his coronaton and the act of
sacred unction should take place on
Sunday next, and to which coronation
should aBo be admitted his august
spouse, Marie Feodorovna. Th* sol
emn announcement is made of this
sacred act by this present proclamation
to all his faithful sulrects, in order
that they may renew th or endeavors
of piety "and implore favor of the King
of Kings that He wou d deign with His
almighty prote tion the reign of his
najesty and of his augu-t spouse, and
that He will assure to that reign the
peace and tranquillity which are indis
pensable f r the glory of His holy
name and the happiness of the Fath
erland." The secretary of the holy
synod, who was a smart, good-looking
young man, dischar ged h s duty well,
and read in a clear, loud v ice.
In tantly he ceased the crowd,
which stood uncovered, ra : sed loud
cheers, waved their hats and made the
sign of the cros-. The troops saluted.
Then followed the scene of excitement
alreadv described. Two.heralds riding
forward threw copies of the proclama
tion broadcast. These immediately
disappeared among the people.
Another supply was then forthcoming.
The s r cretary of the holy synod then
marched off to the next spol at which
the ceremony was to be repeated. This
was nearly in front of the monument
of Min in and Pojarsky, the bands of
the emper r's regiment leading and
playing the national anthem. At the
conclusion of the reading of the procla
mation the bands played the anthem,
and before the secretary commenced
four trumpeters, two belonging to each
regiment, gave a ilourish of trumpets.
Tough Notes.
It is a curious fact that so firm in
texture is the paper of a genuine Bank
of England note that burning alone
can hardly destroy i*. The authorities
have in a little glazed fram ; the rem
nants of a note whi< b. was in the great
fire of Chicago. Though < ompletely
charred and black, the paper still holds
together, and the printing of the note
is said to be sufficiently 1 g ble to es
tablish its genuineness and to warrant
its being cashed. Tlr-re are some
other note 3 at the bank which were
cashed after having gone down with
the "Eurydice" a few years ago, and
reduced to little better than pulp. In
deed the scraps and fragments which
sometimes come into the bank to be
cashed have a very ridiculous appear
ance.

Tta Bad Boy Quits Work.
"Why are you not working at thi
livery stable? " the grocery man asked
the bad boy. " You haven't been dis
charged have you?" And the grocery
man laid a little lump of concentrated
lye that looked like maple sugar, on a
cake of sugar that had been broken,
knowing the boy would nibble it.
"No, sir ; I was not discharged, but
when a livery man lends me a kick
ing horse to take my girl out riding,
that settles it. I asked the boss if
I couldn't have a quiet horse that
would drive hissclf if I wound the
lines around the whip, and he let me
have one he said would go all day
without driving. You know how it
is, when a fellow takes a gir* out rid
ing he don't want his mind occupied
holding lines. Well, I got my girl in,
and we went out on the Whitefish Bay
road, and it was just before dark, and
we rode along under the trees, and.l
wound the linos around the whip, and
put one arm around my girl, and pat
ted her under the chin with my other
hand, and her mouth looked so good,
blue eyes looked up as. me and twinkled
as much as to dare rae to kiss her, and
I was all of a tremble, and then my
hand wandered around by her ear and
I drew her head up to me and gave
her a smack. Say, that was no kind
of a horse to give to a young fellow to
take a girl out riding. Just as I
smacked her I felt as though the buggy
had been 6truck with a pile driver,
and when I looked at the horse he was
running away and kicking the buggy,
and the lines were dragging on the
ground. I was scared, I tell you. I
wanted to jump out, but my girl threw
her arms around my neck and screamed
and said we would die together, and
just as we were going to die, the buggy
struck a fence and the horse broke
loose and went off, leaving us in the
buggy, tumbled down by the dash*
board, but we were not hurt. The old
horse stopped and went to chewing
grass, and he looked up at me as
though he wanted to say ' philopene.'
1 tried to catch him, but he wouldn't
catch, and then we waited till dark
and walked home, and I told the livery
man what I thought of such treat
ment, and he said if I had attended to
my driving and not kissed the girl I
would have been all right. He said I
ought to have tcld him I wanted a
horse that would not shy at kissing, but
how did I know I was going to get up
courage to kiss her? A livery man
ought to take it for granted that when
a young fellow goes out with a girl he
is going to kiss her, and give him a
horse according. JJut I quit him at
once. I won't wori for a man that
hasn't got sense. Gosh ! "What kind
of maple sugar is that? Jerusalem!
Whew, give me some water. Oh, my,
it is taking the skin off my mouth."
The grocery man got him some vca
ter and seemed sorry that the boy had
taken the lump of concentrated lye by
mistake, and when the boy went out
the grocery man pounded his hands on
his knees and laughed, and presently
he went out in front of the store and
found a sign, "Fresh letis, been picked
more'n month, tuffer'n tripe."— Peck'i

, r Blind Japanese Shampooert.
—n
jOna fine day one can scarpely walk
a square in any of the more thickly
populated districts of Tokio without
hearing the shrill whistle of the blind,
shampooer, as with long stick in hand
he slowly feels his way, calling out
from time to time his fee for a com
plete shampoo. A system of employ
ment for the blind so suited to their
condition, affording, as it does, fair
profit and an abundance of healthful
exercise, indoor and out, certainly
deserves,' at least, passing notice.
(Shampooing, or, perhaps, more proper
ly speaking, massage, as practiced by
these blind men (called amma), con
sists of a gentle rubbing with the
palms of the hands of the surface of
the whole body, together with passive
exercise of the joints, and a slow
kneading of the superficial muscles,
fnore particularly those of the trunk
and extremities. The sensation to the
subject is usually very pleasant,
especially if submitted to after violent
jor continued exertion, as after a diffi
cult climb or a long walk. Japanese
physicians recommend it in many dis
eases, also in convalescence from dis
eases in which there has been loss of
power or wasting of the muscles
The skill and anatomical knowledge
sometimes acquired by these unfortu
nates are truly wonderful.
A WOMAN'S EXPERIKNCB.
What a Lady of Great Prominence flu te
ray About Her *ex
(Boston Globe.)
On a recent trip by a representative of
thispAperto the city of Haverhill, Mass., a
most important incident occurred, which
cannot fail to be of the greatest interest to
all, and especially to oar lady readers. The
newspaper man met a lady a trifle past
middle acre with luxurious white hair that
contrasted strikingly with piercing black
eyes. She possessed a straight, full habit,
womanly, but commanding, combined with
manners ve-olly lady-like, and yet pro
nounced. Any acute judge of human nature
could see at once that he was in the presence
of an unusual personage—one destined to
accomplish more than most of her sex, and
to exert an influence far reaching in its
power. This lady was Mrs. M. W. Wingnto.
Almost from childhood she his taken a
special interest in the bodily troubles of her
fox and lias probably been more successful
in relieving suffering and saving lives than
any other woman in America. Indeed, she
reins to have been to women what Florence
Nightingale and Dorothy Dix were to the
suffering soldiers. The ii.s ances of women
who were in the greatest agony and appar
ently beyond the reach of human aid, that
she has restored to health and happiness,
are almOst innumerable, and it was only
natural that the scribo should become
spec ally interested and wish to converse with
her more in detail.
" Ho* lon lmve you I een engaged In the
practice of medicine, Mrs. Winpate?"
" For more than twenty-five years."
"Along time, certainly. How did yon
happen to enter the field at that early day
when women in the professions were spe
cially frowned down upon?"
•'I think I must have inherited a <a i te from
my father, J. C. Wood, of Har
vard o lWpo. He was eminent in the pro
'esion, a hard worker and equally earnest in
.lis recreations. He hunted considerably,
ai d I remember when only nine years old I
used to the birds and animals he had
tillod. 1 fell infatuated with medical science
iven then, and the infatuation has continued
•ip to the present time."
"And did you begin your studies so early
in life ?"
" I can hardly fay when I began, for I can
not'.eateniber wlun I did not rend medic il
literature. Yon would (scarcely I e'ieve it,
out 1 we* a flrnder girl and did not weigh
over 12 1 nounds, but I nsed t) pit up night
after night until 2 o'clock in the morning
poring over my studies and never dreaming
of the flight of time. It seemed as though
calls for my attendance on the sick always
came unsolicited. I ceitainjy cannot fix the
date when I f.r-t began prat cing. Of course
most of my patients were women, and the
natural sympathy I felt for my sex hns in
ereafed during nil these years w here I have
been brought so closely in contact with thein
and have learned to anticipate their needs
xnd sympalme with their sufferings.
After ihe o. ening of the Bodon Medical
College I appeared before tho faculty; parsed
examination and received a diploma. I had
•jrncticed for years previous to that time but
thought it desirable to receive another di
ploma, which 1 did without any effort."
" Your experience With the many and fer
ious diseases of women having been so ex
tensive must also bo valuable. Can you
give me some facte regarding them."
" I find that woman seems born to suffer
ing, and where she avoids it, it is by reason
of some care on her part or owing to some
special renewing power. It is true some
women go through life without unusual suf
fering, but they a-e none the less in danger,
for there are critical periods all along their
pathway when the utmost precaution is re
quired. The innumerable complaints called
female weaknesses; the irregularities of life
and changes of the system all indicate the
perils which hang over every woman's ca
reer, ard which, unless attended to, may re
sult disastrously."
'• But is there no way by which these ter
rible troubles can be avoided?"
"That has been the problem for years.
The habit of life and the demands of fash
ion are clearly at war with the health of
women. I have been, perhaps, unusually
successful in my treatment cf their troubles,
but there have been many cases that seemed
specially stubborn. I recall one in particu
lar. I had exhausted all the usual exj elienta
and the results were not satisfactory- I be
came worried over the case and really did
not know whnt to do, but finally thought I
would try something out of the usual line. I
had heard a certain remedy recommended
very highly and so I procured some and
made a chemical analysis of it I fonnd it
was perfectly pure, and that the ingredients
were unusually valuable. So I began giving
it to my patient changing it. however, into
a bottle of my % n. To my great joy it
seemed to have an almost immediate effect
and a complete cute was the result Since
then I have used it constantly in my practice
and have cured every form of female weak
ness, as well as displacements, dropsical tu
mors, cellu dropsy and all such troubles. I
have also used it with the best results in
.vises of pregnancy and gestation. Indeed I
have found it of untold value and benefit
"Have you wjy objection to giving me
the name of tniß remedy of which you
fcpG&lc ?"
"None whatever. It is Warner's Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure."
" Why, that is a proprietary' medicine!"
"Certainly, bnt what of that '< I have but
one end in view in the treatment of my
patients namely—their restoration to health.
In the accomplishment of this end I pre
scribe what 1 believe to be beneficial, no
matter what the professional consequences
may be."

Idy produced a beautiful gold medal
mounted in tho form of a badge which haJ
been presented her by tho medical society,
known as tho Ensign of the Humble Family,
of which sho is a prominent member. After
examining it closely, tho rei>orter remarked
that the modicul profession evidently were
proud of what she had done, as she might
well be in the possession of such a modal.
"I am proud of that" she replied, " and I
was alo ploased a short time since to roceive
an offer at a large salary to take tho pro
fessorship in tho new medical college at Walla
Walla, on tho Pacific coast. Ido not know
how they heard of me out there, but I was
obliged to declino their offer."
" And so, in your experience with the dis
eases of women, you have found success, and
that Warner's Safe Cure has been a most
efficient remedy."
"Yes, I have had unusual success and the
remedy of which you speak has been proven
of great benefit There are, however, some
imitations of it to be found in the
market; these are bad and should be avoid d,
but the geuuino remedy is one of the very
best"
" And has not the practice of your profess
ion injured your lieaith?"
" No, I am better now than ever before in
my life. I froze my limbs last winter, while
riding one cold night to see a patient and
was obliged to remain indoors for over two
months. Otherwiso I am healthy, as jrvi'
can see by looking at me."
" And may I publish this interviow, Mrs.
Wingato i"
" Yes. If what I have told you should be
the means of aa-usting any women who may
be suffering, I shall be perfectly willing to
have it published."

THF. hoarbt, simple narrative of Miu. S.jr. Wnrrv,
who reMflee at N0.177 William* St..Providence, R.I
--" Pi ring the pa*t six or seven rears 1 nave born se
verely afflict'*il with kidney disease, causing Intense
backaches, dizziness and other severe pains through
my 1 ody and limbs, rendering me so weak and pros
trate thai at times It was impossible for me to do
any part of m • housework. I have had also a flut
tering of the heart, and was terribly distressed for
breath. I was very miserable, and completely worn
out an<" disiotirajjed: I had no ambition to under
take to do anything, and barely sufficient strength
to rtndrr existence desirable, having failed to find
any relief from the doctor's prescriptions. At this
trying crisis a friend persuaded me to obtain a bot
tle of Hunt's Remedy, end now I rejoice that I fol
lowed'this friendly advice, for the Remedy acted
like a charm in my case. After I had taken a few
doses my health began to improve; I felt better
every way. The flattering of the heart, the intense
backaches, and terrible shortness of the breath
Bodily disappeared, my strength and ambition
soon returned, and before 1 had taken two bottles of
the Remedy I was entirely well, and able to wash
and iron and do my housework. Once In a while I
am troubled with the headarh*, and as soon as I am
taken I resort to Hunt's Remedy, and a few doses
fix me all right. I shall nerer be without it in the
future. I have frequently recommended the Hunt's
Remedy to my friends, and they have experienced
relief from the first dose. I heartily recommend it
to all who are afflicted with kidney disease or dis
eases of the Liver, Bladder or Urinary Organs. I
think no family should be without it
