Tlint Settles It.
With the bloom and beauty of tho
season, Its balmy airs and delightful
temperature, we feel like living with
new life, and are therefore often very
careless in taking care of ourselves. It
is this forgetfulness that lays us liable
to attacks of rheumatism, the more
liable because we think there is little
clanger of its eoming on. but rheuma
tism is an easy thing to take and some
times a hard thing to get rid of unless
we take the advice of others and learn
that the best way possible is to use St.
Jacobs Oil. It has been used so long
as a sure cure that this advice is given
In good faith from the testimony of
thousands.

Insanity in Prussia.
There lias been a good deal of com
ment of late upon the increase of iu
eanlty in England. It seems, from si
recent official report, that a similar if
not a worse condition of affairs exists
In Prussia, where the lunatic asylums
find difficulty in providing accommoda
tions for the crowds of applicants for
admission. Iu 1871 the total number of
lunatics in Prussia was 55,003, In 18S0
it hud risen to 06,345, while In 1890 it
had gone up to 52,550. It is Interesting
to note also that, while the growth of
insanity Is general, it is more marked
among men than among women. Of
100,000 Prussian males It seems 278
are found insane; but in a like number
of women only 243. From figures given
in the same return it appears that blind
ness Is diminishing, while the number
of deaf mutes is rather Increasing.

NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.
Regularity is a matter of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
derangement th&v may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle tho nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per
formance of nature's function. The

confused. Before using your remedies
I never had any faith in patent medi

had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink

8110 I.ike<l Sailing.
About twenty years ago a steam
packet company of Liverpool wished
to buy a piece of laud which was
owned by u "stay-at-home spinster,"
as licr neighbors described her. She
sold her land at a very low price, but
insisted upon a clause being inserted
in the agreement giving her the right
ut any time during her life to travel
with a companion in any of the com
pany's vessels. When tiie agreement
was closed she sold her furniture and
went on board the first outgoing ship
belonging to the packet company.
For years this wise spinster lived
nearly all tho time upon one ship 01*
another, frequently accompanied by a
companion, according to the agree
ment. This was always a person who
otherwise would have been a regular
passenger, but who purchased her
ticket at reduced rates by paying the
spinster iustead of the packet com
pany. The company offered her more
than twice the value of the land if she
would give up her privilege, but this
she would not do. Her reply was:
"You got the land cheap, and I like
sailing, so we ought both to be satis
fied. " —Lippinoott's Magazine.
Skilful Shooting.

pistol bullet a swinging thread, cans
j ing the dependent bell to fall and
ring, aud he hit from a most uncom

held sideways to him. Also with a
pistol bullet and at short range he j
grazed the head of an erect lucifer so ,
as to set it aflame. Bat the gilt of I

i tit? rrstcn Diamond.
The South African native, it seems,
is not always decorated with the mere
trumpery of the trader's wallet or of
ills own purveyance. It has become an
attested fact that excellent diamonds,
and diamonds better than that, are
possessed by chiefs and hoarded by
them, not so much in intelligence o!
their value as in a firm fetichlsm. The
stones have come to their hands by the
good old-fashioned method of stealing |
tlieiu from the Kimberley mines years
ago before tho present minute watch
against gein thieving was systema
tized. Diamond-stealing nt present Is
practically Impossible under the pecu
liar methods of its prevention. Before
tho rigid examinations of workmen and
visitors began to be enforced, native
laborers often were under a secret
compact with their tribal rulers not to
come back from the mines without a
good-sized stolen diamond for tho
chief's use; hence, a great many su
perb gems are in the dark unfnthomed
caves of a KafHr headman's establish
ment. Within a few years enterpris
ing traders linve made special expedi
tions and palavers for diamonds so
hidden, with the result of successful
bartering for them. Liquor nnd gun-l
have been found useful. In some in*
stances the superstition of the chleM
stood in the way of traders reeovorlnH
valuable stones; but, oil tho othe:J
liund, a small company working on thl.-l
lino of acquisition is credited with havJ
ing obtained within four months not
less than two hundred thousand dol
lars' worth of diamonds. One agent
succeeded in buying of a chief six
ißtones of more than two hundred
karats each.
An American Artist,
Most of New York's noted society

Now this fortunate artist is In London,
where she painted a miniature of the
Prince of Wales In the costume that lie
wore at the famous ball given by the
Duchess of Devonshire. The privillegc

self honor enough for most artists, but
in addition the Prince sent the artist a
diamond heart pin, which represented
Persimmon, the Prince's horse, in dia
monds, with the jockey's colors done in
enamel. After the fact of tho presenta

HZ R BEAUTY DAZZLED.
)Mmc. Eecnmicr, the Moat Splendid and
FamouH of French Women.
i The recent sale in Paris of a mantel
jpleee that once adorned the salon of
tMadame Recamier, recalls the memory
|Df that most rema.kable woman. She
jwas In her time the most beautiful and
|tlie most famous of European women
pud ber modesty and her accomplish
nnents enchained the world of France
|to her feet.
I Madame Recamier was born in 1771
pud at the age of 1G married M. Reca
)mler, an opulent banker of twice hei
age. lie had Just acquired the hotel ot
■M. Necker, situated in the Rue Monl
©lack. He had this property so en
[larged and embellished as to make it a
dwelling worthy of her who was to in
habit it. All the furniture, even to tht
last arm chair, was designed and exe
cuted expressly for this purpose. The
Hotel of the Rue Mont Blanc soon be
|camo the center of fashion and intelli
gence. Fete succeeded fete. Mme. Re
Icamler, radiant as a spring morning
received her friends and guests witt
incomparable grace. Her salon was 11
kind of neutral ground where men ol
iill parties met, mingled in the same ad
miration. There gathered princes, no
bles, philosophers, poets, writers, art
ists, musicians, wits and beauties—all
attracted by the lovable woman whose
intelligence was hardly second to hei
beauty.
This epoch of splendor, however, was
not of long duration, M. Recamier,
through unfortunate speculations, losl
almost the whole of his fortune. Mme
filecamier was obliged to sell her hotel,
(lier lands, her horses, even her silver
(She took a little apartment in the Ruf
[Basso du Itompart, where, as In tin
>ast, her admirers crowded around her
Fresh financial disasters having over
taken her husband, Mme. Recamier
sought refuge in the Abbayo mix Bols,
where her salon became more cele
brated than ever. The Abbaye nux
llols was the home of a religious com
munity. During the somber days of
the revolution this property had served
as a prison. Under the restoration tho
nuns of the community had made It a
refuge for women of the world, who
withdrew there to taste of the pleas
ures of solitude without at the same
time renouncing those of society. The
nuns ceded to her the right for life of a
magnificent apartment, and there she
surrounded herself with objects that
recalled her princely existence of other
days. The friends of former times
Hocked to see her and the most noted
Parisians defiled through the salons of
tho Abbaye aux Bois. A writer of this
time says of her: "She never held such
a place In the world as when she lived
in this humble retreat at one end of
Paris. It was there that her gentle
genius, disengaged from too vehement
complications, made Itself more and
more felt. It may be said that she per
fected the art of friendship and caused
It to take 011 new charms. This lovely
woman was gracious and captivating
even In her old age. Tho day she com
prehended that her beauty was wan
ing, because the little chimney sweeps
no longer t urtied to look upon her when
she passed, she determined to conse
crate the remaining years of her life to
the duties of religion and to the culti
vation of friendship."
She died in 1840. Her life was blame
less, but her salon was the scene of in
trigues, religious and political, that
have come in for severe criticism.
Burial Money In China.
, A kind of Chinese money which Is
largely manufactured and sold is wor
thy of mention, although the traveler
need not trouble himself with It except
as a curiosity. This Is prepared for
the especial purpose of burning at the
graves of deceased relatives as an offer
lug to the dead. The denizens of the
other world are supposed to requlro
and to be capable of receiving money
in this way; but the Chinaman is far
too practical a person to part In such
a fashion with the currency of the em
pire. Instead lie buys for a few "cash"
a large supply of silvered and gilded
pieces of paper, or of Imitation coins
blocked out of cnrtlboard.
Although these have no purchasing
[lower on earth, they are supposed to
count for much In tho transactions oi
the spirit world. By this practice one
Is reminded of an old story of a miser
who left his belongings to his son on
condition that a certain sura of money
should be burled In the cotfin with him.
The son was, however, a chip of the old
block, and carried out Ills father's
wishes by placing In the coffin a cross
oil chock for the required amount, as
sured that it had little chance of being
presented nt his banker's.—Chambers'

Tho experience of Miss Bertha Reed, tho
