Epileptics Improved.
11 is stiite.1 in an annual report
of
the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics that
the daily overage number of patients
was 462. Not one of these has been
cured, but the treatment of the phvsi
tMuns in charge has been such as to 'im
prove nearly all cases. One of the
most marked results of treatment has
been the reduction in the number of
times the patients have been seized
with tho attacks which so enfeeble
them, both physically and mentally.

WOMEN IN AUSTRIAN TBISONS.
In Austria, a woman, no matter what
she may do, is never regarded or
treated quite as a criminal. She may
rob, bnrn, kill set every law at de
fiance, in fact, and break all the com
mandments in turn without a fear ot
ever being called upon to face the gal
lows. She is not even sent to an ordi
nary prison to do penance for her
sins: the hardest fate that can befall
her, indeed, is to be compelled to take
np her abode for a time in a convent.
There the treatment meted out to her
is not so much justice seasoned with
mercy as mercy reasoned, and none
too well, with justice. Even in offi
cial reports she is an "erring sister"
one who has, it is true, strayed from
the narrow path, but quite involun
tarily. Cornhill Magazine.
TRINCESS MAUD.
I was talking the other day, said a
writer in the Queen, to one of the
Marlborough House officials, who has
been a member of the Prince of
Wales's household for many years, aud
who gave me some not nuinteresting
information in regard to the Princess
Maud of Wales, the news of whose be
trothal to one of the Danish Princes
was reoently announced. Both she
and hersister, Victoria, are gentle,
cultured, unassuming girls, as unlike
the traditional idea of royal Prin
cesses in their manners as may well be
conceived. Both of them shrink from
the formal etiquette which at times
they are compelled to follow, and they
are never to happy as when on rare oc
casions they are enabled to pass a few
days, or even a few hours, incognito.
It is only a week or two ago that I
noticed them myself trotting about
the Westminster Aquarium and gaz
ing at all the eights therein to be seen,
in company with their royal mother
and a few members of the household,
like any ordinary family of country
cousins. Princess Maud has a weak
ness for eollectingfourios, carved ivor
ies in particular 'being her espeoial
hobby. Of these she has already gath
ered quite a largo collection. Like
her sister, she is thoroughly domesti
cated, and tho activo interest she has
taken in the model dairy at Sandring
ham has made her quite an expert
butter maker.

watched by a World reporter.
Jt was also a bridal procession. The
bride was dreased in white robes nd
npou her broar there was the band of
a holy order. She ro le with the bride
groom Death in a plain, cheap coffin
in n sable hearse. There were no
flowers, no emblems. The single car
riage that followed the hearie con
tained four placid-faced nuns. A few
passers stopped to watoh the little
cortege as it crossed Broadway ; a
cable car waited for the hearse to pass
and dashed on in front of the car
riage, aud then the cortege had passed
out of sight, the peaceful bride to

W. C. Lloyd, a worklngmnn, living
at No. CO Whito nv.. In tho 18th
Ward, Cleveland, O., first bought
111 pans Tabules of !bnflold, tho drug
gist. Ia an Interview had with him
on tho 8th ot May, 1895, by a repor
ter named A. B. Calhoun, residing
nt 1747 East Madison nv., Clovelund,
Mr. Lloyd said that ha was at pres
ent out of a Job, but expeetod to go
to work next week at the Drldifo
Works, "Anyway, I have tho prom
ise of a job there," woro his words.
Ho had been out ot employment
sineo laet fall. Wa will let him toll
his story In his own words. "Work
was a lit t lo slack, and I was feeling
so bad that I concludoi to lay oft
for a few days, and when I returnoil
my place was tilled, so I've bwnout
cvor since. I dou't care much,
though. I've been gaining right
along by mv rest and treatment.
Last fall I went to a doctor who was
recommended to mo us a good ono
nnd with quilo a reputation. Ho
gnvo me medicines of all kinds for
nearly six weeks, and I got no bene
fit that I could Bee. In fact, I don't
believe he knows what Is tho manor
with mo, A friend of mine called
ono evening and told mo he ha I
boon using 111 pans Tabules for a
short time and ha I nover found any
thing that helped bis stomach anil
liver troubles as much as they did.
Ho handed mo a circular about
thorn, which I road, and oonoltidol
that they were Just what I needed
and would lit my case exactly. I
dropped Pr. at once, wont ovqr
to the drug store and got aSO-cont box
of them, out of which I took two a
day for awhile, and within throe
lays noticed nnd felt much Improve
ment. That was about the middle
of December. Last February I got
another small box ot the Tabules
and took part of them only, as I was
feeling so muoh bettor that I didn't
think I needed any more. Tho
rest of the box I gave to John 0
the other day. If I bad heard of
them nt tho tlino I stopped work I
could hnvo savod my doctor bill, and,
better than all, probably kept right
on with my work. But I do not be
grudge the time lost nor tho doctor
LIU, as 1 feel I am well paid for hav
ing learned of the Tabules. I now
fee! no puln whatever in my
stomach, liter and bowels active
and regular, and eat like a well man
should eat."
