THE GREAT GREEN DIAMOND.
A "WEIRD PT01IY-OP THE -MOXTEZU3LAS, BY "WTLLA LTiOTD JACKSON".
To the HiHuJIcnry -Chan trey, from George Lou!

for it, till the Jay -when death should re

"Our long-standing friendship constrains1
in to siive you an explanation of my be-
lavior. though that explanation involves'

mflered to pass my "lips, and 1 can think cf
io better -nay of relating that story than to
smd vou tiif paper l wrote out shortly auer
the green diamond first threw its evil rays
across my path. My object in setting down
lhi remarkable facts contained in this paper
was merely to endeavor foriny own satisfac
tion to sift the actual occurrences from any
exaggerations an excited fancy might have
invested them with, and this I thought pos
sible to do by retting down the- matter in
coM black and white.

r!o.-cu this spot lor the very reason that it
is co full of Lomelines and commonplace
tight; and sounds, hoping that the shadows
winch have racentlv tilled my brain may
take flight before them. The loudest laugh,
the roughest jest and the very hissing of
the meat in the pan arc welcome to me.
They are the tokens of a healthy humanity,
nh'ch my desh thirsts for, after that which
I have eeen of late. I am a plain, practical
man. loving no mystery, counting nothing
sopernaturaL and I could well nigh cur.se
the folly of Chris I.isthrop in drawing me
after ban into an nty.-s of black doubt and
inferuni mystery, fur I am convinced that
only the evil otic could be at the root of
this matter.
"When car troops entered this con
quered city the day before yesterday, I lo-t
eight of Chris for some hours, as the bustle
end confusion was something beyond ordin
ary, it seeming never to have entered the
peopit s neaa tluit the American army was
reallv on us wav nitner, ana l
suppose in
all bisturv greater dismav and
terror was
never felt on Mich occasion. Mv duties
kept mc closely occupied for the entire day,
sac it was not until late at night that I as,
at liberty to walk abroad through this
curious old city, but the streets were still
alive with soldiers and such of the in-r-ahitants
whose curiosity had got the bet
ter of their dread of the invaders. I in
ojiired of all the Americans I met as to
1'nris. but none had seen him, and I was
l-ejinmnc to fee! provoked with him, for I
concluded he had lost his wits in the
triumph of our arms ard was running about
n mischief bent, audi had a message for
him troni the captain of our company, of
which I am nrs lieutenant aid he second.
"I h(d about nbandf-ued the search, when
I was accosted by a soldier, -nhn informed
me that Lieutenant Listhrop hid dispatched
him 'o look for me B2.J to tell me that an
acsldent in winch he had barely escaped
with his lif had befallen him, and that I
woiild Sind him in a certain house close at
hand. My friendship foT Chris being of no
recent birth, we having been raised in the
same village and deskmutes ill school and
companions in every boyish enterprise, I
was much concerned to hear of this mishap
and questioned the soldier ashe led the
way to the house in which Chris had been
carried.
'But he could tell me but little. Some
f-otrtical citizen had thrown a heavy stone
jar from a window under which the Lieu
tenant -eras -passing, and one ease striking
elm on the hr-ad had strained him. Seeing
that he was not dead, an old man standing
ia the door of nn adjicent house had de
clared Jiimself possessed of sufficient knowl
edge to dress the hurt and had insisted on
the -founded man being carried into his
dwelliag. "Vaguely uneasy at my friend lia ing
been left to the care of a f-trauirer, one of a
hostile people. I hurried on to the plaee,
M'licfa I found to be a low, curiously built
edifice of a style of archil eetui e unlike that
.f the surrounding houses, but this I ob
served without pausing and knocked im
periously for almiseiou. Tiie door opened
at onoe and an i.l man stood boning betoie
3K-. 'Are you Lieutenant Heduiayue?' he
nsked in as good English as my own, and,
ben 1 assented, led me into an inner room,
where, on a couch, 1 found ny friend lying,
ith his head bandaged aud ery pale. "
"Ihe old man cheeked him as he at
tempted to speak, and first attended to wet
ting the clotn about the wound with some
pungent lioiior he had in a bnl of engraved
fcilvcr, befor- he .urned to me.
" 'Your friend has hud a narrow escape,
be add then, 'but a night's rest will do
much for him.'
"I murmured something meantforthiuks,
hstlwastoo much occupied in staring at
u.y host to do more. H w as a man of great
igc, his snon lut- hair that flowed nearly
to his waist told me, and his skin nas
creased with a thousand crinkles that
tUowed the years had bitten deeply, but his
eyes were as bright andquiekasa-coquette's
of 16, and his bearing that of a monarch.
Even his ministrations to Chris were full of
mystic gentleness, and his gesture us he
placed before me a bowl of smoking chocu-lat-wastnat
of pride so meat itsrorued
irself. His drecs ronsisted of a loose robe,
swung from the shoulders, and of dull red
tilk. or what appeared such, confined at the
waist by a cord ol gold tinsel, and on his.
feet were sandals ot gilt leather.
"When he had srved mc with the re
freshment he Mated himself beside Chris,
who had fallen asleep, and paid no further
attention to me, hut my curiosity, which
had grown with every moment I had spent
in his presence, impelled me to engage him
inconorsation. "What I said I do not le
jnember, but upon my using the expression
'your people,' he luterrupted me with a
gesture, " These are not my people, sir. I am-
the issi fa race. American; I am an Aztec."
"His countenance globed wiih pride,
softened by an inexpressible sorrow, and his
kingly head sink for a moment on his
breast. 'I am of the line ot the Montezu
hms, unbroken for nundreds of years, but
which dies with sne. It w as our "purpose to
keep it alive tiiive should come into our
own agaiutjut the gods willed it not so.'
"The pods! I stared at him in amaze
ment, to h.Mr him use the phrase in this,the
nineteenth century, but the next moment I
told mj self that I'had stumbled on a mad
man, and that was all. The old man read,
my thought with his keen, bright eye.
" "Aye, my ton, that is what they call
me, Atk ot the first who passes and the
will tell you old Totlan, the madman, lives
here.'
'lie said no more, but fell to musing,
with a bitter ti.n'le on his face, but I could
not refrain from interrupting his thought.
"Will you tell me how itisyculueMhcn
nil of Toarrace have iong left earth'."'
' Tii're is i,o mysterv, good sir.' he
uasv.eri.-d. 'Mj forefathers were of a i
jouuaer branch tlmi tho sovereigns, and of j
the pTicnhood -the inner and higher-order, J
invested with powers and knowledge un
heard of by those who merely performed
the functions of religion. "When the Span
iards came with their reign of terror certain
trusts were confided to them and a solemn
oath exacted that thev would preserve the
line to guard these trusts if possible. This
has been done hy a laitmui law, extraordi
nary as it may seem to you, and the blood
that flows in these poor, wasted veins of
mine have never been mixed with that of a
Spaniard or any other alien, .but there was
no Aztecian maiden left to wed with me,
and I could not take-a-wife ofthe'forbidden
race.
"I lontrcd to ask him what the trusts were
that hadlieen confided to him and his, but
his dignity and manner awed me into
merciy obscrvins, 'And who will succeed
vou. sir, in guarding the interests you speak
of?'
'" 'Ah, who?" he murmured sadly. 'I
have questioned the gods, but they give
thei: servant noanswer.'
"The old man -rose with a weary, sigh,
and, lianding me the bowl, said: 'I am now
called away for some house and will entrust
your friend to you. Keep his bandages wet
and should his fever return give him to
drink of the elixir.' He paused a moment,
laying his hand softly on Chris' head.
"" 'He is a noble youth and such as I
would have coveted for a son had the gods
given me one. He has narrowly escaped
death, hut will be restored when he wake3.'
"He left the room with this and I could
hear his light footsteps echoing through the
house, while I settled myself to watch
Chris with nothing better tlian my thoughts
loentertainme. Convinced that the old
fellow was mad, I was even faintly amused
by his fantastic craze, and when Chris
awoke, as.he presently did free from fever,
I gave him quite a laughing account of the
affair. My friend declared himself fully
able to leave the house, but we both felt a
reluctance to depart without thanking our
host, who, mad though he might be, had
earned our gratitude and respect. So we
waited, tolkins of various commonplace
matters for an hour, when we heard steps in
the hall-withont-ana presently old aotian
entered.
"His dress was-such as to make us stare
and rub our eyes, for no Eastern potentate
ever boasted richer garb than he had donned.
1 am but a poor hand at describing such
gewgaws, but as near as I could see the
groundwork of the robe itself was of silk
or some such shimmering, softly flowing
texture of a rieh, deep blue that cloyed to
the eve with its warmth and beautiful tint,
but this was so enerusted with gems that
caught the light aud repeated it in a thou
sand dazzling points that but little was visi
ble. ITpoa the old man's feet were jeweled
sandals of -white leather, and on his head
rested a diadem of gold, not unlike a Bish
op's mitre, while about his neck and wrists
hung necklaces aud braieletsof the same
metal, with pendants of jewels and graven
tablets. Iiut if his garb was remarkable the
old man's looks were not less so. His with
ered lrauie was drawn elect and his eyes
were burning with a curious light that vet
had something ot the bleep-walkers unseeing
haze.
" 'Come, come!" he cried to Chris, who
rose at his bidding us if mesmerized by his
gleaming eyes. 'The gods have spoken.
They led you to my door this night. Come,
come!'
" 'He took no notice of me, but held out
his hand to Chris, who took it. The two
walked to the door withouto glance at me,
but I follow ed alarnied and awed in spite of
myself. Chris' eyes began to assume a
fixed, unnatural expression, and his whole
figure expressed a sort of passive obedience
to the iuuu who led him which I cannot'
describe, but which terrified me. I ran
jornard and caught him by the other hand.
" 'Chris, Chris, where "are you going?
House yourself, niau. Listen to mc!'
"He gazed at mo for a moment with some
thing of his usual look, but shook his head.
'What harm, old boy? Better gratify the
old fellow." And the next moment old
Totlan had drawn him on, and I followed,
Tesolved to 6ee the farce out."
"Down a narrow passage he went until
he came to a wall which he struck with his
bare liand, when a small door, invisible be
fore, siting back, and admitted us to a
large vaulted" chamber, from which led an
other passage, so low that we were often
obliged to stoop. That this led downwards
I soon perceived, aud heremy tears, vague,
but powerful, rushed back upon me.
'Come back, Chris, for God's sake? There's
no telling where this mad man is leading
us.' But I got no answer from either, and
gripping my sword "firmly, I followed on.
"How far we went along this passage I
cannot say, but it must have been nearly
Hall a mile, tor we lett tue Hewn stones far
behind, aud entered wells of earth, sup
ported by colums or rather piles of rock,
cemented roughly together, but of course
led downward all the time. Gradually the
gallery grew lighter, and at some distance
1 coulil sec lights gleaming, as if in a large
c&mp.trtuienL So, wimewhat relieved, I
ceased to pull at Chris' coat.
"The light grew stronger every moment,
and at lencth ie paused at the entrance
door of what I at once perceived was a tem
ple of some sort The walls were of carven
stone, white and highly polished, with here
and there a niche in which stood a lamp of
silver, representing a human hand, of which
the flame was a plume set over the brow.
To one side was an altar, also of stone,
though furnished with feet and gildings of
polished gold. About this were ranged
vessels of various sizes and shapes of bur
nished brass.
"But while in ayes took in these details')
tney were riveted on an object suspended
directly over the altar. This was an arm or
part of one, from just above the elbow to
the linger- tips, all exquisitely wrought,-but

of what material I cannot sar, for while it
was as white and flawless as the rarest mar
ble, it was much too warm and rich in tint
to be such. It seemed to me that I could
see blue veins outlined upon it, though my
imagination may have pictured these. I
only know it hung there as perfect and
beautiful a limb as ever a man saw. It did
not seem to end abruptly, but rather to
cmereo from invisibility, as from a curtain.

bound.
first
with
a gem of green hue, kindled into extraordi
nary flame by something beyond my knowl
edge. It was in reality about the size of a
pigeon's egg, though itsextended rays made
it Eccni much larger. "When I ceased to
stare at this I found that Chris and the
Aztec had prostrated themselves before the
altar, fixing their gaze with rapt adoration
upon the hand and diamond. I am not a
particularly religious man, but the shoekof
seeing a human being in the act of worship
ing a thing of mortal workmanship struck
.mc like a blow.
"Rushing to my friend I caught him
roughly by the shoulder. 'Are you crazy,
Christopher Listhrop? Have you been be
witched?' But as I spoke old Totlan roseto
his feet and crlnncd me in turn with, aj
-strength incredible in one of his age.
'"Silence, wretched man!' he whispered,
with a hiss in his quiet voice. Then louder
and shriller, as under great excitement:
'They speak, they speak! After years of
silence the gods declare themselves!'
"He motioned to the diamond, that even
as he spoke seemed to grow into a globe of
fire that was yet as' cold and clear as moon
light, though infinitelv brighter. Totlan
prostrated himself, leaving ine fo retire into
the farthest corner of the temple, for I was
convinced then, as I am now, tliat the thing
I saw was of the devil, or else some hid
eous jugglery, and I was determined to lend
nivself to none of the mummery that fol
lowed.
"I have laid down my pen several times
in the last hour to recall if possible the
scene that filled the chamber, but I am still
confused and uncertain. I remember
crowds of shadows that thronged about us,
fihantom figures of armed men, naked, giant
ike forms brandishing flaming torches,
women, fairies that I can describe, and yet
I cannot say whether these airy creatures
reallv filled "the room in which I stood, or
whether I beheld them all in the diamond,
of which I was conscious as wo are of the
sun, whether gazing full upon it or other
things.
"I am weary of striving to solve the
question of - here the real and the unreal
began and ended in that accursed temple,
and, giving it up, pass to what I am sure of,
aud that was only of Christojiher Listhrop
himself. Him I "saw rise supported by old
Totlan, who, removing from his own person
the robe he wore, cast it about my friend
and place upon his head tho diadem of
gold.
"Chris' face was that of a dreamer just
awakened, who still retains sometliiug of
the glamonr of his dreams while slow ly re
alizing the thing of the actual world. There
was a sound of oices, monotonously chaut
iug in subdued dull tones that I could not
attribute with any certainty to the phan
toms that hurried between me, and often
obliterated, the figures of Chris and the
priest beside him, nor yet to the latter
either. "What the voices "said I know not,
nor do I recall any articulate words, though
theie must hae been, but as I said, all this
is so confused and thin that I assert nothing
positively.
"How long this dreadful scene lasted I
cannot guess, but at last by a mighty cftbit
1 wieiiched myself loose from the spell of
supeistitiou aud fear that was tightening
about my brain, aud springing forward
leaped upward aud caught the demou dia
mond from the fingers that held it. Aye.
and gripped it, though a chill struck me to
the heart as I grasped the thing that para
lyzed muscle and nerve for a moment. I
remember a cry of horror ringing through
the room, and old Totlan flung himself upon
me like a panther. A'e grapped fiercely,
but I felt mv strength going rapidly under
the terrible lean fingers about my" throat,
when I saw asm a mist Chris grapple with
tne old man and drag mm oft.
"One look showed mc the room was clear
of the sliadowy forms and only myself.
Chris and the lialf naked figure of the old
man were present. Cliris had lost his dczed
look and beyond a certain horrified expres
sion in his ees was himself once more. His
gaze canght the dazzling robe he wore ahd
witn sudden Haste lie tore it irom mm and.
plucking the diadem from his head, hurled
that to the floor. Old Totlan eyed him for
a moment with a devilish gleam of his
briirht eves, then rushed to the arm that
held the diamond, caught the hand in his
own, tugging at it with all his might.
Something ailed it, that we saw, for, though
a few drops trickeied down the limb, the
old man paused nonplussed. 'Has the lake
itself gone dry?' he muttered, then once
more tell to tugging at the hand.
"The water came down in a larger stream,
and something warned me of a deadly pur
pose in the lunatic's action. I caught,
Chris by the hand and we fled to the
passage," Taster, faster for your life!' I
urged. Tor as wc live we are under the
lake' I remembered seeing, as we came
along, heavy drops that clung continuously
to the ceiling of the passage, but the idea
that it led under the lake is so incredible
that I must reverently ascribe it to a divine
inspiration. As we fled along the gallery,
I could hear the dripping ot slowly falling
water idr a minute or two. then there came
..axrash as if heaven and earth had tallen.
"There was a roar of rushing waters be
hind us, and onee wc felt the, spray of a tor
rent. But the ascent was too steep for the
stream to reach us, though its momentum
swept it high. Panting, fainting, Ave
reached the a aulted chamber at the end of
the passage, w hen a new fear confronted
us how to find the concealed doors. "Vc

gesture that opened the door had been a
simple one and by stooping to what 1 cal
culated to have been old Totlan's height I
began to feel about the wall, and presently
the stone9 glided to ono side and wc were
free. .
"Pausing a moment at the outside cham
ber for Chris to resume his cap and sword,
wo got into the street, and not till then did
I become cognizant of the fact that I held in
my hand a small, hard object. I glanced at
it and found it to be the diamond. It had
lost its unnatural glow, but still gleamed in
the uncertain light with a lustre that told
me that it was of immense value. Chris
caught it from my hand.
" 'Let's look at the accursed thing," he
said, striking a match and examining the
stone Why, man alive, this diamond is
valuable enough to make us both rich!'
"'But we have no right to it,' I urged.
'Old Totlan' but I paused, remembering
that in his fury against us he had doomed
himself to death.
'"Old Totlan is dead, of course, and
laccording to his own statement, he had
no heirs, and was not even of thcsepeople,"
reasoned Cliris, and I could not gainsay his
arguments, though I must acknowledge to
a shrinking horror of the diamond or of
having auy share in it.
"After reaching the house which we were
to make our quarters I questioned Chris
closely as to tho part he had played in the
sceno I have so faintly described, but he
was even more confused and uncertain than
T, and declared he was only conscious of
taking a solemn vow of some character,
though what this was ho could not posi
thely say, except that it involved the
serving of some god, whoso mouthpiece or
"manifestation was this diamond.
" 'And you mean to retain such a dia
bolical tiling about you, Chris?' He laughed
uneasily. 'I thonght wo had agreed to con
sider the whole affair a piece of jugglery on
old Totlan's part.' Here his eyes darkened
with a look of horror and dread, and pass
ing his hand over his brow he muttered:
" 'To tell you the truth, I must look on it
as such, George, for at times I have a terri
ble suspicion that I took upon myself some
unutterable oath that will hold my soul for-
evcr? though I cannot recall it, J. cannot re
call it ! I havo vague, disconnected visions
of not no, I must not dwell upon them, for
I shall go mad with horror. '
"He caught my haud and held it till he
succeeded in calming himself, when he went
on as lightly as he could. 'A3 I say, if we
regard it all as a trick of the imagination,
there can be no harm in our keeping the
diamond.'
"I acquiesced, although had I had my
will I would have thrown the stone into the
nearest gutter. It was sewn by Chris into
the lining of his coat, where it was to be
left till wo should return home, when we
were to sell it and divide the money, for
Chris insisted on my sharing it with him.
"But last night, as wo lay sleeping side
by side, I was awakened by a light that
filled the littlo narrow room wo occupied
with a strango effulgence that I recognized
at pnee as tho fire of the demon diamond.
This light emanated from no particular
point, but flooded the apartment with its
frecn splendor, cold and brilliant as moon
ight on ice. I caught Chris by the arm and
shook him soundly.
"'Wake up! The devil is at work again.'
But he slept on, though his face was pallid
ana wormng as 11 convulsed by some terri
ble struggle, and presently he began to
speak. 'I will not ! I will not I Fiend,
cease to tempt me. Ko, I will not mvself,
nor will I find another to take my place."
Again I tried to awaken him, bnt in vain,
though for an hour or more he seemed to
wrestle with some unseen power, while all
tne time the green light burned witn steady
luster. At last it died awayand Chris sank
into a natural sleep.
"I have related "this sceneAvith calmness,
but while it lasted I-felt the blood stand
still in my veins, though I saw and heard
no more than I have written. "When at day
break Chris awoke, I endeavored to make
him confida in me his dream, whatever it
was, but he was strangely silent, and begged
me to speak of it no more.
" 'I have gone through that of which I
may not speak, and scarcely dare think.
Oh, George, what a fate! Anal am young
and tied to' He clapped his hands be
fore his face. "But I will not yield, though
I die for it; though they tear my yery heart
to shreds."
"He has lain all day in agonized fear,
looking forward to the night, but I havo put
him to bed on a soldier's cot in the next
room, through whose open door I can watch
him as ho sleeps. And the soldiers' noisy
voices lend me confidence that naught super
natural, diabolical or celestial will venture
there. God help him! I see no way out of
the matter for him, for when I urged him to
sell or throw away the diamond he declared
that he could never part with it. He per
sisted in this until Host patience with what
I openly termed his folly, and the next mo
ment grew ashamed when the poor fellow
with tears in his eyes reiterated his words,
adding: 'George, I tell you there are things
unspeakable connected with this matter. I
am tortured beyond telling. Do not you
tane away from me your support.
"I soothed him by assuring him he might
do as he chose without further remonstrance
from me, for heaven knows my heart is sore
enough for the friend, so lately the jolliest,
most careless creature alive, and who to
night lies the most cowed and horror
stricken wretch on earth. At tiroes a blind
rage seizes me at the whole affair, in which
my intellect refuses to believe, and yet
which I cannot refute upon the evidence of
my own senses. I long to awaken Chris and
convince him that his trouble is all a myth,
and yet and yet "
"This, dear Chantry, is the story of the
green diamond. Do you think me madder
than ever? But at least you will acknowl
edge that it is a madness of long standing,
for 1847 lies 43 years behind us. It was a
madness that ruined Chris Listhrop's life, as
he wrote me often after each return of the
mysterious temptation I once witnessed,
and in which he was only victor by a terri
ble resistance.
"It came again and again wearing him to
death by inches, though he assured me-that
he never yielded for a moment. There are
hideous gaps in the story, I am well aware,
gaps that only the diamond-haunted man
could supply, and he has gone carrying with
him the true explanation of the matter.
A short time before his death he wrote to
me telling mc that he had deposited the
stone with you to be given to me at his de
cease. I had no instructions as to what to
do with it, but I knew!"

ceases to be a prophet foretelling what "they

what they are wearing and have worn. Fan

shooting, we adore her sweet helplessness
about carrying her own. particular umbrella.
Sho is a divinity in her gauze and frills:
of the evening, hut a jolly good fellow
in her serge and flannel of the morning.
Her yachting gown is a triumph. Serge,
rough and heavy and blue, is the essential
principle. The heavy rope-like cord of wool
which edges the bottom of tho skirt and
seems innocently decorative, has really a
serious sweet Anthony Comstock motive in
life, which is to keep the skirt from flying
and fluttering when going up ladders. The
plaits on each side are made, too, with a
moral purpose to avoid the generous and
communicative effect of a straight close
skirt in a head wind. The skirt and the
handkerchief knotted about the collar are of
cardinal silk; the heavy ropes of gold or sil
ver cord festooned across tho tablier are
fastened with a gold anchor. The closo
sleeves open at the wrist to reveal a hit of
color in the shirt, the ensemblo is chic and
and jaunty, like the girl whom it adorns.
There is a good story told of a misguided
woman who ventured to remonstrato with
the great man milliner in Paris whose prices
are quite as amazing as his confections.
The subject of controversy was a gown of
most perishable chiffon, with a girdle for a
bodice and no sleeves, for which the famous
costumer required the sum of 600 good
American dollars.
"The material," said tho lady, "could be
bought for 5100, and surely the making up
would be well paid with 52o more."
"Madam," answered the irate but grand
iloquenfdressmaker, "would you have gone
to M. Meissonier and said to him, 'Here' is
canvas and colors to tho value of ?20. Paint
.me a picture on this canvas with these
paints and I will pay you $10.' "What
would he havo answered? 'Madam, that is
no payment for an artist. NoL but I say
more. If you think my terms-are too high,
keep the dress and pay me nothing. Art
does not -descend to the pettiness of hag
gling." An-eminently .useful and aquatic- gown
for-water travel-or seaside sojourn, which
agreeably varies the
serge motif, has its
long blue coat, re
verse, gauntlets, and
battlemented skirt
faced with red cloth
edged everywhere
with gold braid. The
full silk shirt is of
scarlet, blue and
white check, belted
in at the waist with
a suede girdle. Be
neath tho battle
ments of the skirt
peeps a scarlet petti
coat of cloth, the blue
cap has a scarlet rib
boii, and the sunshade
is as gay in hue as
au August poppy.
Of course you can

kind of a gown with

flecked with green. It is entirely good

An interesting fact was brought out at
the historical exhibition in Paris, where
sneeimens of cloves were seen dating back
to those of the Grecian Empire. The sizes
of those gloves were proot indisputable that
among the belles of ancient days, and even
those of the Middle Ages, the tiny hands so
common among the women of to-day were
entirely unknown. A visit to the Hohen
zollern'Musenm will convince anyone that
the small foot was equally rare in earlier
times, and that, judging from theirslippers,
the feet of the famous Prussian queens and
princesses would do credit to a dandy in the
Grenadier Guards. Only the beautiful
Queen Louise possessed delicate and pretty
feet, the satin shoe belonging to her
lamented and revered majesty seeming like
that of a child beside the square-toed JTo.

costume has a square, ungraceful look which
docs not promise well for its popularity.
Every woman wears gray because it is
fashionable, and so it behooves the woman
who is a sallow blonde to know that her
gray dress ought to have a rich cardinal or
crimson plastron or a big, solt fichu of red
chiffon.
The reddish blonde need not read this ar
ticle. She can wear gray pure and simple
without modification.
The brunette should take heed that her
gray dress has a touch of pink or old rose
near her face, or, if it becomes her better,
of yellow.
No girl who is dark should ever put blue
with gray.
No girl who has not a rose-leaf skin
should wear cream and gray.
Never wear a gray hat unless you face it
with tho tint that" is most becoming. If
you heed these hints you will probably con
fess them wise. Xcw York Jtccorder.
The latest apostle of the beautiful in
dress has arisen to promulgate a new code
of ethics by which a woman's gowns shall
be a chronicle or dress directory of her
emotions and conditions. The holy and
dignified estate.of matrimony shall find ex
pression in a black garment, while love, its
precursor, too often only its precursor, is
robed in a garment upon which the torch of
hymen starts from poppies in crimson and
gold, symbolical ot love's hypnotism.
Health wears a gown of Nile green, ijith a
bolder of lotus flowers. Life is garbed in
white crepe, with silver antique traceries.
Death is glorified in garments wherein the
goldeh light of the sun and the silver
sheen of the moonbeams mingle In the mys
terious symbol of death. Fancy scolding a
woman gotten up in such occult, murkily
mystic things about'the coal bill, or asking
her where in thunder she has nut your col
lars and clean stockings.

Three Remarkable Results Described by
Well-Known Residents.
OVERWHELMING PROOF
Of the Superior Skill of the Electro-
pathic Physicians at 507
Penn Avenue.
Mr. .7. Palmer, ono of Pittsburg's most
estimable citizens, living on 7awn street,
near Craft avenue (Fourteenth ward), in
speaking of the rapid and wonderful recov
ery ho made from a case ofrheumatism that
had 'sorely afflicted him for over eight
months, says:
"Only those who have been afflicted with a
similar trouble can have any idea of my
sufferings. These pains, sometimes: dull,
other times sharp and shooting, made every
musclo and nerve throb with aches that were
unbearable. 3Iy joints felt stiff, and every
movement was attended with
KXCKUCIATIXG SUFFKR1XGS.
"Even my most quiet moments wero dis
turbed with the twinges of an aching body.
I triod different so-called cures without
avail, though some afforded me a temporary
relief.
Mr. John Palmer, Lawn st., near Craft are.
"I saw several articles in the newspapers
regarding tho physicians of tha Electro-,
pathio Institute at GOT Penn avenue, and, as
a last resort, concluded to consult the physi
cians in charee. Thev at once dinsmosed mv
case as chronic rheumatism, and assured me J
tnai
THEY COULD CURE ME.
"That their promise is fulfilled beyond
my highest expectations is proved by my
present condition. I can walk easily, sleep
well and my every movements aro without
pain. Each treatmont has benefited me
more than the last, until now I um convinced
that the electrical treatment as admin
istered by the physicians of tho Electro
pathic Institute is the most scientific and
rational, and productive of better nnd more
permanent results than any other. 3Iy
strongest words of approval and recommen
dation shall at all times be used in their be
half." PARALYjJ! CURED.
iBed-Itlddcn arid Suffering for Years n
Paralytic, Yet Mrs. John Fields, Un
able to Move-Her Xlmhs, Is Final
ly Believed by tho Physicians of
the Electropathlc Institute.
"Itihas been over five years since I-wasl
first stricken with this malady, paralysis,
and what I snfiered.ln that time can scarcely
be described." Tho sneaker was Mrs. John
Fields, .resfding at SO Beaver avenue, Alio-.
gheny.
'lira. John Fields, SO Heaver Avenue, Allegheny.,
"I had been fecline very well nil day, when
suddenly, without warning, I receivea the
stroke which mado mo perfectly helpless. I
could noj make any movement without as
sistance. My whole body felt as cold as ice.
For 14 months I lay downstairs, my rela
tives fearing to move me. During that time
a number of physicians were in constant
attendance, and, while I would seem to
rally, there was never any perceptible per
manent changefor the better. Often times
I wished at the closo of tho day that before
morning came a merciful Providence would
END MY SUFFERINGS.
"My husbandliadspent vast sumsof money
in trying different cures, hut to no avail.
I concluded to try, ns a last resort, the effi
cacy of the electrical treatment ns applied
by "tho physicians of the Electropathlc In
stitute, 507 Penn avenue.
"The first treatment I received benefited
mo so much that I was able to lift my arm
above mv head. For six months before that
time I hud been totally unable to raise
my arms at all. I gradually improved until
now I can do numerous duties that I
never dreamt would be my good fortune to
do agnln before I died.
"I unhesitatingly recommend these olivsl-
cfans and their methods, and feel sure that
they will effect a permanent cure where re
lief is at all possible."
YEARS OFSUFFERING.
Another Local Case and Remarkable Kesnlt
Accomplished by the Electropathlc
Plijslclans at C07 Pena Avenne.
"Formoro than live 3-ears I suffered as I:
did not think it possible for a human being
to suffer and live."
The spenker was Mrs. Mary J. Confer, who
lives at 113 Lacoclc street. Allegheny.
"I was first stricken with rheumatism, and
to anyone who has suffered from this disease
I need not describe its tortures. Had con
stant pains shooting from one mnscio or
joint to another, and constant heavy, dull,
aches. To this was added the pangs and ox-,
crnciating twinges orncuralgla.
"My life was ono of misery, and mere
EXISTENCE A TORTURE.
"The constant pain I suffered finally re
sultedin complete nervous prostration. In
somnia, or sleeplessness, was added to my
other ills, and I was in a stato bordering
upon frenzy.
"I doctored with the best physicians in
Pittsburg and wasted quantities 'of money,
all to no avail. While at times I was helped,
temporarily, my case constantly grew
WORSE AND WORSE.
"My attention was called to the Pittsburg
Electropathic Institute nt 507 Penn avenue,
and ns a forlorn hope I determined to
try a cour of electricity. I applied to the
physicians In charge, and after diagnosing;
my case they placed mo under treatment.
"To mako a. lon2 atorv short, after a retru-
.lar course of treatment I am entirely enred.
Jiy pains ana aches have all ieic mc. lean
not too highly commend tho Institute, or
tho physicians in charge of it, to those ho
suffer as I did."
