FAMO kills the dandruff germ and stops the unhealthy flow from the sebaceous glands. Every ingredient in FAMO is well known to physicians. But none of these ingredients were ever before applied to saving the hair. Science perfected I'AMO in one of the oldest pharmaceutical houses in Detroit—famous for its laboratories which supply physicians all over the world with medical goods. FAMO not only kills the seborrhea microbe but it makes the scalp and hair as clean ps that of a baby. It ends al? itching of the scalp. Even where baldness has already appeared (unless the hair roots are absolutely dead) FAMO will encour age and stimulate the growth of new hair. Many women say FAMO has caused their hair to grow from four to six inches. FAMO retards grayness and strengthens the natural color. It contains no alcohol to dry the scalp and produce gray hairs. It makes the hair luxuriant and lustreful and if there is a tendency to waviness FAMO intensifies it, Famo should be used by every member of the family. ♦lt can safely be used on the head of the baby as there is nothing in I FARMERS!

I crick 111 to revive in his favor the name and title borne by the_ mor ganatic wife of Frederick William 111, the Countess Harrach. He would be Prince of Llegnitz today, had the late Emperor been able to sign tho piece of parchment setting forth the creation during the last days of his illness. Tho present Kaiser never career much for the "left-handed brood," as he called his cousins, with the pride of the "regularly born," but j when he returned from a hunting* I trip to the Principality of Pless, ail ! this was changed.

"Of whom are you talking, pray," asked the Empress, across the table, moving uncomfortably In her seat. "I did not know any of our set were invited." "I had the pleasure of referring to Fritz llohenau's wife." "Oh, that woman. She Is a game keeper's (laughter, or somcthlifg of Unit sort, is she not'."' The Emperor paid no attention to this sally. "Eulenburg," ho ad dressed the grand-master. "I will go over the list of the season's guests with you presently." And from that day on Countess Fritz had to be treated as persona gratlsslma by everybody in the royal service for two years to come. The vivacious woman Introduced her pleasing presence on every oc casion when tho Emperor person ally or the Court played a part. She rode, hunted, and skated with us; she played tennis, and went coaching with His Majesty; she danced more gracefully than a "good" woman should at our Court balls and at those stupid the dansants. More often than not. Her Majesty returned from the riding school, where she had gone for exercise, with red eyes. "That woman was there —on a horse tontimes more graceful than my own." At state dinners the newly-found cousine's place was near enough to the royal arm chait to throw old goldsticks into convulsions, and on lesser occasions William often con ducted Her Ladyship to table, while his Queen yawned herself to death at the side of some crusty General or doltish relative. And how Charlotte's laughter rang out above the clatter of silver plate and the tinkling of bumpers! Wit, Joy, enthusiasm, success, all crystal ized in the tone of that voice, which the Emperor admired so much, and which Her Majesty likened to a chansonnette singer's. There were sycophants, with and without petticoats, who endorsed this latter notion—a Queen can find people to believe with her In the quadrature of the circle—but soci ety generally continued its good opinion of Countess Hohenau in the face of calumnies of all sorts. In deed, the clever woman was a fav orite everywhere, and that with her TOUth and beauty she didn't capture the Kaiser's eye before is remark able. Maybe he avoided her on ac count of the Hohenau-Emperor- Frederick entente cordialo. 'How Kaiser Mot Gousin Charlotte One of the blue-blooded partici pants of the battle In Pless tells how the Kaiser first became inter ested in Cousin Charlotte. "We were awaiting him in the court yard, the horses being drawn up in a semi-ctrcle. My immediate neighbor on one side, was the only She rode a long-legged hunter of a peculiar red color, straddling tho animal. Her costume was appropri ate to this maneuvre: short Russian trousers, reaching to the knee, a close fitting cut-away velvet coat over a red vest and shirt, the latter partly hidden by a green tie, a jaun ty Calabreser hat. and high patent leather boots reaching a little over the knees in front, but cut out In the back. "As the Kaiser appeared in the door and stood still a moment to acknowledge our greetings, his eye caught the parcel of loveliness at my side. Scarcely was he in the saddle when he cried out: 'Cousin Charlotte, a word with you.' "I will bet my best pointer the Countess had expected the invita tion," continued my informant, "but women will be actresses, you know. She played the surprised, the bewil dered. Perfect horsewoman that she is and capable of subduring the most stuborn beast, the fox-mare got away with her—apparently. She reared, pawed the air, and seemed altogether unmanageable. Never saw anything better done at Renz's. (Renz was then the foremost circus of Germany.) "Suddenly a blow from Madame"* gold-headed whip between the horse's cars, and with one leap the aiuazon was at His Majesty's side. 'Well done, cousine,' wo heard His Majesty say. They galloped ahead, the rest of us following at a respect ful distance, dog-trot pace." How the (jormaji Empire Was "Gov erned" Of course Madame von Kotze was far from pleased at the advent of! this new star. Rivalries were inev itable between the royal favorites, though His Majesty did nothing to provoke them, as far as I could ob serve. Possibly he treated the Countess with a little more freedom under his wife's eyes, utilizing the formerly disputed relationship as a pretence, but in all other respects Madame von Kotzo's position was unshaken. She continued her visits at Court whenever the Kaiser was at home, and her beauty and style caused Her Majesty's ladies most exquisite heart-burnings. Indeed, Her Ladyship angered the dames more than ever because of the increasing luxury of her toilets, for, woman like, she meant to sur pass Countess Fritz by new crea tions of the milliner and tailor as well as by mental and physical gifts. In this endeavor to out-Eugonio Eugenie the tongue of the baianee inclined now to one side, now to the other. I remember Countess Fritz cutting out Her Excellency at the Schleppen Cour (drawing room) by a superb gown of white gold brocade, edged with blue fox; but things were ev ened up when Master of Ceremony von Kotze conducted Prince Albert's daughter to a fauteuil in the roar of the orchestra at the gala opera, performed a few weeks later, where she had to sit among army officers' wives and ordinary privy council ors. The Kaiserin Has Her Revenge My seat was opposite the royal box on that occasion, and If I live a hundred years I shall not forget the smile of satisfaction that over spread Auguste Victoria's counte nance as she perceived her cousin in scml-obscurity. The Kaiser himself had oniy a malicious grin for his uncomfortable favorite. However, next day wc experienced one of those intermittent upheavals for which the reign of William II was notorious. Tills erratic monarch could not get along without rows; In his ministries, in parlinmcnt, or at home somewhere there were always axes to grind. William had enjoyed his cousin's discomfort in the theatre; he had thought it funny "to set the two women by the ears" (the satisfaction with which Her Majesty viewed the spectacle was likewise not to be un derestimated); but after Countess Fritz, In a private audience, sought twelve hours later, had unbosomed herself to His Majesty, all this was changed. The master of ceremony was or dered to explain the reason for the unheard of breach of etiquette; and his excuse, that Her Ladyship had arrived too late to be ranged ac cording to her rank, was assiduously published In the palace, in the salons and clubs. Then It was given out that His Majesty Intended to rehabilitate Countess Fritz, and a banquet was forthwith held whera Her Ladyemp . acquisced in the new order of things! 1 quite gracefully, it is said, but in sisted upon being given a placo where she could watch His Majesty . and the Countess, and listen to the i general run of their conversation. That this arrangement, which all thought natural enough at the time i was afterward turned into an argu ment for Herr von Kotz's incrimi ■ nation, will be narrated later. While these rivals for royal favors i WWTitsporting their anger and 1 jealousies under Her Majesty's nose, ' so to speak, William basked In tho [ smiles of a very elegant lady quite [ unknown to the Court, which affects ■ to know everything. She was Mad ' ante, the Countess de Panaflel, wife ! of the Portuguese Secretary of Le gation in Berlin, a grandee of his own country, who did not amount to much in Kaiserin Augusta Strasse. We of the royal service were fav ored with glimpses of Madame de 1 Panaflel's great beauty only at rare , intervals, when state occasions or 1 other festivities necessitated her at -1 tendance at Court, pftener she was seen at the opera, lahgorously reclin ing In her gilded arm-chair over which she had thrown her mantle of ermine—a queenly woman, queenly 1 of the style exemplified by the Em • press of Russia and Queen Margue ' rite, for, with these two exceptions, all the women on the thrones of Europe were either homely, coarse, ' passe, or too old to be considered. 1 Madame do Panafiel was not so 1 tall as the Empress, but possessed 1 in the highest degree the charm of ' figure which constituted Auguste ! only claim to beamy in the past— I a neck and shoulders that seemed | ■ modelled by an artist's hand to sup port the burden of crown Jewels. '• Add to this splendid endowment lus > trous black eyes and arched brows, a fine Greek face, a noble carriage, ■ arms like those she Venus of Milo lost [ and tho most tristocratic hands, I I and you have a faint counterfeit of ■ | this grand dame, who, besides, was famous for her red blonde hair. J! Again the Kaiserin Wins in Strategy. | The relations between Madame de ,■ Panfiel and the Kaiser lasted four [ | years until her husband was sud [ i denly recalled to Lisbon. There was ,' no one more surprised at this than _ the Emperor, who had already lost ! Madame von Kotze, and even before j that had been obliged to sever t the ties which bound him to Coun [ toss Fritz. We were at tho Neuss Palais when the news reached my ; mistress. "I wonder what the Kaiser will say to this? Send out to ask wheth er he is in the Vortragszlmmer," she i remarkod unconcornedly, though the . red blood mounted to her checks. Unhappy Majesty, thou wen i cheated out of a jealous woman's ! pleasure to rejoice in a hated rival's , downfall, to feast thine eyes on a • straying husband's disappointment, , when he finds himself outgeneraled, i On receiving a telephone message of Panaflel's recall, the Emperor had hastened to Berlin to inquire into the meaning of the act. The Portu ; guese Ambassador could give him no ■ satisfaction. Beyond the simple notification by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he had received no information from his capital. However, before nightfall a report that Her .Majesty was at the bottom ol' the aiTair spread in the palace. Queens' Meddling Auguste Victoria, it was said, had stated her grievance to tho Queen of Italy, and the latter, a truly sym pathetic woman, had promised re-j lief; a letter to that effect from Her Italian Majesty, had been seen by some one in the Kaiserin's confi dence. Through the late King Uni berto, the Empress's wish had finally been communicated to Queen Maria Pia, who caused her son to name Count Panaflel's successor. Madame von Leipzlger, the wife of the former Court cotillion leader, retained the royal favor a little longer than the ladles named; but she was homely—a Madame de Stael. on a small, very tiny scale, rathern than a Ninon de I'EnclOs. Short, with irregular features and bad complexion, this woman gained her ascendency over William by means similar to those employed by Talleyrand to secure a reputation as a wit and inventor of bonmots. How a "World Conqueror" Occupies Ills Hours. As the ex-bishop of Autun was nev er long without his "breviary," the "Improvisateuj- francais," a many ! volumed collection of anecdotes and smart sayings, so was Madame von Leipziger, while at.Court, forever brooding over old and new volumes of magazines, devoted to charades, puzzles, and riddles. She made His Majesty's acquaintance at an early ,fge, when he was a student at Bonn, her birthplace, and knew and ap preciated his passion for those gen tle gymnastics that are liable to give conversation a sheen of esprit.

It seemed to be Madame von Les>- ziger's real object In life to fosber this weakness. Ever since tho king ly dignity has sprung into existence, there have been royal favorites, util izing their sway in various manners, fonic inspired thoir lords with good or evil ambitions, made them better or worse men, encouraged or dis couraged their inclination for mercy or cruelty, for art, the sclencos, or literature. Frau von Leipziger was probably the first to abet a master's disposition to drive his subjects to despair by more or less senseless rid -1 dies. How Noble Is the "Nobility" It cannot be my purpose to weary the reader by picturing the gloom tho puzzle-headed hydra at limes cast over the Court. The reptile of mythology, we learned at school, had nine heads, each of which, when cut off. shot up into two new ones." In similar style Her Ladyship and tho Emperor used to launch forth new attacks upon our good nature as soon as wo had disposed of one ambiguous proposition. But oven though Madame von Leipziger's relations to her husband were of the most innocent character, ■ Her Majesty disapproved of them. So the news gazetted one fine day, that Herr von Leipziger had resign ed from the army, surprisod no one, and Princess Adolph of Lippe voiced general opinion at Cou-t when she said: "My sister-in-law would not have any woman under fifty amuffe the Kaiser." Thereafter the charade-fiend went to live in the country, and we have never been able to discover wheth er the Emperor's assertion that Madame von Leipziger is "one of the most intellectual women of tho time" is true or not. for thelcourt know her only in her detcslaljle specialty.
