“T have suffered for years from a - bronchial trouble that, whenever [ take eold or ain exposed to inclement weathi- er, shows itseif by a very annoying tickling sensation in the throat and by difticulty in breathing.

“Twenty years ago I was troubled with a diseasé of the lungs. Doctors afforded me no relief.and considered my case hopeless. I then began to use Ayer’s Cherry Pector, and, before I had finished one : relief. I continued to take this medicine until a cure was effected. I believe that Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral saved my life.”’— Samuel Griggs, Waukegan, Ill.

‘Six years ago I contracted a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and soon developed all the alarming sym toms of Consumption. I had a cough, night sweats, bleeding of the lungs, pains in chest and sides, and was so erqennates as to be confined to my vd most of the time. After trying various prescriptions, without benefit, my physician finally deterrained to give me Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I took it, and the effect was magical. I seemed to rally from the first dose of this medicine, and, after using only three bottles, am as well and sound as ever.” — Rodney Johnson, Springfield, LL

ONC ONSIGNMENT,

flere and There.

Rev. Dr. Harvey, a pioneer Methodist minister, of Canton, L)., tells this reminis- cence. Of Abraham Lincoln. The Rey. Peter Akers, an eloquent pioneer Method- ist, held a meeting near Springfield some years before the war, and one day Abraham Lincoln atid several other attorneys of Springtield drove out to it. Father Akers spoke that day on the ‘*Sin of Slavery,” and prophesied that in a few years God would wipe out this crime of crimes in blood. The sermon was generally regarded as the mouthings of a blatant abolitionist, and on returning home the lawyers laughed and joked about it. Lincoln, however, re- mained silent. Noting this, his compan- ions rallied him by asking, ‘* What do you think of Brother Aker’s sermon?” Mr. Lincoln replied : ‘* Well, 1 confess that I have never before been so deeply impressed by human utterance. | have never thought

we should have war over slavery or any. But those utterances to- | day seemed to come from far beyond the

other question.

preacher. They came to meas a real and awful prophecy. More astonishing than all, and you may laugh at your will, I seemed to be thrilled in my very soul with the conviction that I am in some way to have a tremendous responsibility in that coming and awful war.”

| Dr. Schliemann, says an Athens cor- respondent of the Cleveland Leader is nothing Grecian about him, ** His servants have Greek names, and he never changes these though the men may be different. It is Pericles who always opens the door, and ‘Lycurgus lugs up the coal from year to year. He has two pretty children, and I saw throughout the house the paintings of ‘Andromache, his daughter, and I looked at | the photographs of his little boy who has the name Agamemnon, His wife is a ,Greek. She is nearly a generation younger than her husband, and she was a girl study-

|ing at the great female school of Athens, |

‘known as the Arsakion, when Schliemann met her. She was the best student in her | class, and when the learned doctor found that she knew the Iliad by heart, the 'gossips of Athens say that he straightway | Proposed, She was beautiful, however, as , well as learned, and her portrait, which I ‘saw on the wall of the drawing-room, ‘represents a very fine lookinglady. She is said to be as fond of Greek as her husband, and at a children’s fancy bail not long ago her daughter wore a dress like those shown in some of the figures discovered in the excavations of Troy.

The Afghan Ameer is his own high court, and his procedure is very prompt and simple. A postmaster being reported for remrissness in the delivery of letters, was

beaten regularly for three days. This was a very light punishment. The order in some case is “cut off his nose,’ in others

‘Sout off his ears,” and the sentence is carried out without any needless delay. One night fifteen individuals were executed, some of them having their throats cut, Afghan fashion, as they lay in their graves. Others were blown from guns. These unlucky people seem to have miscalculated in certain recent political movements which did not turn out quite as they expected. {One morning a married woman and her lover were brought before his highness by the enraged husband. The tears and pray- ers of the good looking woman for a moment softened the ameer, and he said ‘he would forgive the woman, but moved by |a sense of the fitness of things he handed her and the lover over to the husband, who slew them both as they had passed the city ‘gate. People knew what was going to happen, and flocked out to see the two sinners slaughtered. ‘Torture is sometimes resorted to, either as a punishment or to create strong moral impression.

In the signature ofthe proceedings of the United States National Museum, just is- isued, Mr. George F’. Kunz gives an inter- esting account of the meteoric iron which fell in Johnson County, Ark., on March 27, 1886. The report is remarkable on account of the great care bestowed by the writer upon ascertaining the history of the fall as ‘observed by eye witnesses. A thorough in- ‘spection of theiron is given. Its upper ‘side is ridged and deeply indented, being in many places almost tin white, while the lower side is flatand covered with large, shallow pittings. The writer concludes that, after entering our atmosphere, the ‘iron travelled with the ridged surface for- | ward, the iron burning so rapidly as to be | torn off, leaving part of the surface bright. | The flame thus passed over the sides, and, the indented edge being downward, the flame was driven upward as the iron ad- vanced. The flat side not being so much exposed, the iron was not so completely consumed, hence a crust and large but ‘shallow pittings. These conditions would ‘perhaps have been entirely different had the mass been.round or thicker, for it evi- dently moved as straight as possible with- out rotation at all. That it was found in the earth with the flat side down was due, perhaps, to the fact that it turned after losing its highest velocity.

In the course of a recent discussion be- fore the British Association, on the subject of electricity, Mr. W. H. Preece, chief elec- trician of the post office department vf London, said that the act recently passed by the New York legislature providing for the ex.‘ ution of condemned murderers by electricity would have to be rescinded. He claimed that it was impossible to get a cur- rent of sufficient intensity to kill a man with certainty. He had experimented with an enormous induction ecil, and had tried with a spark twenty inches long to kill a ‘pig, but could not. He knew of several in- stances of persons taking shocks, and who at the time were supposed to have been killed, but who were quite we'. afterward. He said that the sensational reports about people being killed by shocks from electric wires had, upon investigation, been found to be nonsense.

In the south of France they make a very peculiar love charm in a very peculiar way. Under certain ceremonies the young woman catches and closes up a frog in a box with a lot of little holes bored in the wood. The casket is then buried in an ant hill for weeks. The ants, of course, attack the prisoner, and eat up all the flesh, and ‘all that is left is the creatures bones.

| Among these is a shield-shaped bone about

as large as one’s thumb nail, upon one end of which isa litile hook. The girl takes this bone and has it blessed surreptitiously by the priest without his knowledge—that is she exposes it at the benediction of the mass-—and then she hooks it on the cloth- ing of her sweetheart that is to be. The charm, when properly prepared with all due ceremony and care, has never been known to fail.

It troubled certain persons very much at

the time of the marriage of Lord Fife to the | Princess Louise of Wales to know whether jhe would break through the rigid rules of /court etiquette and take precedence of his wife. But, however, the duke with a princess for a wife may regulate his own household, that of Her Majesty continues to be governed by the same rules as for- merly. For instance, when the Duke and Duchess of Fife visited Balmoral the other day§the Court Circular thus announced the event: H. R. H. the Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife, and the Duke of Fife, K. T., visited the Queen and the royal family and remained to luncheon.

A Row in the Family.

THE PRINCE OF BATTENBERG TRYING HIS HAND IN RUNNING THE REALM,

A London special to the New York Mail and Express says: In court circles just now attention is centered upon the private and personal affairs of the royal family, which do not present a picture of harmony and good feeling. The Queen, it is understood, has been gradually submitting more and more to the aggressive dom:aation of Prince Henry of Battenberg, wh», although he is regarded as a person of little consquence or character, seems to have a domineering spirit and to have succeeded in persuading Her Majesty that he is abl to manage the realm as well as anybody. It is reported that the Queen takes his advice upor every- thing, submitting her own judgment to his opinion on all manner of subjects. With the increase of influence which has came with Her Majesty's growing favor, Prince Battenberg has developed an arrogance of behaviour which is extremely offensive to all who are obliged to come into any sort of religion with him. The Prince of Wales, upon learning that the Queen had consult- ed Prince Henry with regard to the bill in the House of Commons for the provision of the Royal family, sent a furious protest against the interference of «a comparatively insignificant outsider wit, the private affairs of his family. In acdition to this, the Duchess of Fife complained to her father of the insolent and overbearing be- haviour of Prince Henry, which did not tend tocalmthe rage of the Prince of Wales or make matters any more pleasant between him and his Royal mother. The Queen’s protection alone prevents Batten- berg being boycotted by the other members of the Royalfamily. ‘They all want him to be sent to reside on the continent, but it is not at all likely that the Queen will yield an inch or allow her pecuiiar fondness for this unpleasant young man to be interfered with.

Why Women Get Short of Breath.

in order to ascertain the influeace of tight clothing upon the heart during exer- cises a dozen young women consented this summer to run 450 yards, in their loose

gymnasium garments, and then run the same distauce with corsets on. The run-

ning time was two minutes and thirty seconds fur each person at each trial, and in order that there should be no cardiac ex- citement or depression following the first test, the second trial was made the follow- ing day. Before beginning the average heart impulse was 84 beats to the minute ; after running the above-named distance the heart impulse was 162 beats to the minute; the average natural waist girth being 55
