Soon the outriders, pullers, bearers
of the first yellow dragoned chair
were in view. The t'.rper'or was pull-

I;iis chair was followed by that of
the "Old ituddha"—as the 'Dowager
is familiarly called. She was dressed
(or rather "drowned") in dragoned ,
yellow satin. 'ler face Is lung and
wan with high cheekbones, big mouth
molt thick lips. 1 -ler eyes glean:ad
tike tire. She was as awake and alert
as the Emperor seemed inert and in -1

nese of her vision. The Loggers re-,,
ceived tablets of silver and the cur-
ious glances of scorn. Every one re-
marked haw careworn she looked,
and that she tens quite ten years;
older sumo last year. Her personal'
baggage occupied the next few litters
and relays of bearers.
Iii striking contrast with the weird
countenance of the Dowager was the
young face of the Empress. 'ler
chair halted for e, little, and as it
was open there teas time for a goad
view. She seemed rather embar-
rassed by the crowds and stole ner-
vous. furtive glances on either side.
She looks an innocent.. ordinary ofli-
cia7's daughter, but the paint, pow-

By 8 a.m. the south gate wast
reached. It was necessary. according
to the fengeluti of ton route that thei

direct and rear way) be the exit from

UNCANNY SUBJECT.
The Spontaneous Combustion of
Trees,
Spontaneous combustion is it mys-
torious thing at all tithes, but as
long as it confines its attention to
inanimate objects there is nothing
very uncanny about it. But when
trees become subject to it there is no
telling whore it will stop. The
banks of the River Cam, in Cam-
bridge: hire, England, have recently
exhibited an unusual number of such
cases, and young growing willows
have been the victims in nearly every
case. Cambridge used to pride itself
upon its beautiful willows, and it
was therefore tvitlt sorrow that the
people discovered one morning the
charred remains of what had once
been a really beautiful specimen of
the willow tree.
The fate of the tree nnturafly at-
tracted attention to the phenomenon
an'i thereafter but too -much oppor-
tunity was afforded for the study of
it. At one point in the river in par-
ticular the process was seen, Green
covered with rich
• trees=sees of
foliage suddenly burst forth into
conflagration and burned to their
'very cores. Fine willows in full vig-
or poured forth cloudy of smoke from
their half burned stems.
An examination of the charred re-
mains of the trees revealed nothing
in the way of explanation, but as
the trees. which met their fates were
for the most part young there could
hardly have been any putrescence
or fermentation.
Just why the willows should meet
such sudden ends is not apparent,
but the peculiar formation of the
tree, its pliant boughs and the
drooping of its leaves and flower
may have had something to do with
it.

17INTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
It is a good deal of trouble to
"stew clown" a pumpkin for pies, as
it must be stirred aitttO6t constantly
toward the last to keep it from
sticking to the kettle and burning.
One may Simplify matters a little
by putting the pumpkin into a but-
tered pan or pudding di B11, or even
into the spider. and finishing it in
the oven, where it must cook slowly,
Of course, It must be stirred here,
occasionally, or it will crust on top.
To find out whether poultry is ten-
der or otherwise, pinch tho'skin. If
it adheres to the flesh the bird Is
tough ; if it leaves the flesh, it is
tender. Never parboil a turkey be -
tore roasting. It takes from the
flavor of the meat.
In preparing a salad, wash whet -
ever green Is used very carefully, and
see to it that it is dried perfectly. A
few wet lettuce leaves, or celery, net
entirely dry, will let enough mois-
ture gather in the bottom of the
salad bowl to ruin the best dressing
ever made. -
SUGGESTION,.$a AS TO EATING.
You should avoid eating immedi-
ately alter a strong corporal or men-
tal exertion. You may thereby In-
terfere considerably
with your diges-
tive

tive apparatus. Strong 0190t10115,
fear, excitement, sorrow and fright,
prevent the secretion' of gastric
juice, and it is therefore advisable to
abstain from eating immediately al-
ter any such 000urr'ence.

any strong Corporal exertion. and
also abstain from any mental strain.

DEEP ARTESIAN WELLS.
An artesian well in Grenellc,
France, took Len years of Continuous
work before water was struck, at a
depth of 1,780 feet. At 1,2.50 feet
over 200 feet of the boring rod
broke and fell into the well, and it
was fifteen months before it was re-
ceivered. A flow of 900,000 gallons
per dny is obtained from it, the bore
being eight inches, At Passy,
Prance, there is another artesian
well 1.,11()8 feet in depth and 27e
inches diameter which discharges an
uninterrupted supply of 5,51)0,000
gallons per day. It. cost $200,000
An artesian n'cll at 7lutto-aux-Cail-
les, France, is 2,1)00 feet In depth
and 47 inebes diameter. 'These are
all surpassed by an artesian well in
Australia, which is 5,000 feet in

near ere lives here
who to -day considers himself a very
happy man indeed.
The cause of 111r. Johnston's happl-
ness is his somewhat sudden and
very remarkable recovery tram the
must severe case of Rheumatism ever
seen in this county.
1•'or a long utile he suffered with
the Rheumatism which gradually
grew worse till it threatened his life.
Ills principle trouble was in his left
side, and it WAS so bud that his
neck stiffened so that be could scarce-
ly move it, and was beginning to
fear Paralysis. Tho pain would go
away for a time, but return with
greater force, and a strange feature
of his case was that Aller the pain
would leave any part, it left behind
it that prickly "pins and 'needles"
sensation.
He thoeght that perhaps his smok-
ing tobacco had something to du
with it and lie gave this up, but re-
ceived no benefit at all till he used
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This remedy he found to be a com-
plete and absolute cure for his mal-
ady, and very soon after commenc'
ing its use, the pain began to leave
him and now he is strong and well.
That such an extreme case should
yield so easily and quickly proves
that Dodol's Kidney Pills will cure
any case of Rheumatism.
THE JURYMAN WAS RIGHT.
A funny story is related of a

that without telling an uiitrutit. Ile
came breathlessly into the court :
"Oh. your lord, if you can excuse
me, pray do. I don't know which
will die tlrst—my wife or my dough-,
tel'."
"Dear 1/10, that's sad," said the in-
nocent judge, "Certainly ; sett are
sauteed,"
The next day the juryman was met
'by a friend, who, in a sympathetic
voice asked :
"How's your wife 7"
"She's ail right, thanks you."
"And your daughter 7"
"She's all right, too. Why do .you
ask ?"
"Why, yesterday you said that you

which Sir Iteclvors recommended was
adopted, with the result that the
