It is not always safe to gauge the importance of a man by his clothes and general appearance. In Mr Henry Ruggles' book on Germany, he illu- strates this fact by the following an- ecdote: When Von Moltke is travelling, or away from home on a pleasure trip, he wears nothing in hie dress to dis- tinguish him as a military man. One Summer he took a tun down to Swit- zerland, and at some of the hotels he revealed his identity, and at others he was 'incognito.' His travelling experience, as related by his friends, and his want of pride in his personal appearance, remind one -of the stories told of Horace Greeley. During his Swiss tour he arrived one afternoon in Ragatz, in the En- gadine. As the hotel at which he was to stop was but a short distance from the office where he was left by the diligence, he started off with his tra- velling bag in his hand instead of waiting to be transported in a car riage. When he appeared before the land- lord and asked for a room he looked fatigued, dusty and decidedly travel - worn, and the landlord was on the point of telling him he had no rooms to 8 are. He finally told the waiter to show 'the old man' to a small room in the upper story of the house, and, after toiling up several flights of stairs and through several long, narrow halls, the great general was ushered into a room which looked, as if it belonged to a hospital ward. The waiter left him there, and, after a short absence, made his appearance again with a little book and asked the new arrival to •inscrite his name. It was quickly done, and the waiter made his exit again. What was the landlord's astonishment on taking the book and reading the name 'Field Mar- shall Von Moltke, Berlin.' - There was,a.,&gqr,emotion in the hotel at once. Satdlfhe lfindlord, wringing his hands, "What have I done? I have put the great general into one of my servant's bedrooms. My hotel will be ruined. And he flew about as if he was half crazy. All the waiters in the hotel were summoned, and the handsomest suite of rooms in the house was ordered to be_ put into immediate readiness. The conscience-stricken landlord de- parted for the upper regions to make his apologies to the seedy -looking 'old - man' and to transfer him to more ele- gant quarters in thelowerpart of the house. "I beg your Excellency ten thousand pardons, I would not have dcne it for the world, but I did not know that it Was your Excellency—ten thousand pardons!" said the quaking landlord, half out of breath. "This room—it is not th9 room for your Excellency. It was a mistake. I did not know it was Gen. Von Moltke. I have rooms for you below—an ele- gant suite of rooms—may I beg you to have your baggage removed to them at once?" "May I ask what is the matter with this room?" inquired the general, who had stripped off his coat and vest, and rolled up his sleeves preparatory to taking a wash after his dusty journey; "I have slept for years in quarters not. so good or comfortable as this." "It is too small for your Excellency, amd the furniture is too ordinary. The rooms which I have for you below are those which I reserve for princes slid distinguished guests." ' "What is the price of them?" inquired the general. "Only one hundred francs a day, your Excellency." "And the price of this room is how much?" "A bagstelle, your Excellency—but three francs." "Well, milling stay in Ragatz is short, you must excuse me if I do not change my quarters. I think I shall sleep as sdfind on that bed as on any bed in your house." And the great military strategist, who had more to do in bringing about the great victories in the Franco- Prussian war than anyone else, was allowed to remain undisturbed, much to the annoyance and chagrin of the landlord. SIMPLE. A corjur r is naturally supposed to be the. I1'verest man in the company. Sometimee. however, he is only next to the cleveedat, One evening a man was performing the old trick of pi oulucing eggs from a pockethandkerchiet', when he remark- ed to a little boy in fine "Say, my boy, your mot her can't get eggs without hens, can she?" "Of course she can!" replied the hay-, "Why how is that?" asked the con- jurer. "She keeps ducks!" replied ''le boy, amid roars of laughter. - Harper's Young People. �r. ►4re!i Cryfor 'iastcr iyt• WEARS LI HUNG CH or, and not a few of which are sold.

From Emperor to Patty Counts—;pow 14 Hun` Became a Dake -- A Minton Dollars' Worth of Birthday Presents—Honors After Death. 14 Hung Chang has been given back his yellow jaoket and his three -eyed poadEok- feather. As to the yellow jacket, this is only to be used when the man who has it is in per- sonal attendance upon the emperor in the field or upon journeys. It is a sort of a riding case, and it has been awarded to two Europeans, one of whom was Gen. Gordon and the other a Frenchman nam- ed Giquel, who established the arsenal at Foo Chow. Li Hung Chang has been get- ting all sorts of presents from the em- peror all along. I have before me a list of the gifts which he received on his 70th birthday. This was about five years ago, and all the officials gave him presents. He had cartloads of silk, a ton or so of gilt scrolls and jewelry and other stuff valued at more than a million of dollars. Both the emperor and Empress dowager sent him valuable presents. The emperor gave him sixteen pieces of costly satin, one dragon robe, an image of Buddha, and a lot of autograph proverbs signifying good wishes and good luck. The empress also wrote him a lot of autographs, and gave him a statue of Buddha. She donat- ed him twelve pieces of satin and a robe which was made of the throat skins of sables, which are in China considered the most valuable of all furs and can only be worn by the special permission of the throne. At another time the emperor gave Li Hung Chang $10,000, and he has already received more honors than any other Chinaman who has not noble blood in his veins. Li has risen in rank as well as in pow- er. Ile is now an earl and when I saw him last summer at a banquet in his pal- ace his head was decorated with a cap out of the back of which stunk his three -eyed peacock feather, says Frank Carpenter. This last is even a greater distinction than the yellow jacket. It is one of the great- est things an emperor can give, and is usually conferred only upon princes and nobles of the highest degree. The feather was about two feet long and was fastened to a big cap with a turned -up brim by a great button, which rested on the centre of the crown of the hat, and which was also a mark of high rank. The feather stunk out behind the hat and quivered as • Li Hung Chang put his yellow fists to- gether and bowed low in saluting his guests. There were other peacock feath- ers upon some of the high officials among the guests, but Lf Hung Chang was the only one who had a three -eyed peacock feather. The double -eyed peacock feather is a much lower honor, and the single - eyed peacock feather is worn by many ordinary officials, • and it is possible to buy the right to use it. Even lower than that is what is known as the blue plume or the crow feather. This is conferred as a reward for services upon officials below the sixth degree of rank, and is worn by the Imperial Guards. Li Hung Chang is a diplomat, as well as a statesman, and he worked his way up from one position to another until he got to be commander-in-chief. He took Chinese Gordon into his confidence and made him one of his generale. Gordon drilled the Chinese according to foreign tactics, and thgether they vanquished the rebels. The result was that Li became the greatest man in China. He was given one big office after another until he be- came only second to the emperor. This is the position which he holds to -day. He is superintendent of the northern trade, and controls the commercial mat- ters of all North China, numbering more than 170,000,000 of people. He is the gov- ernor-general of the province of Chili, and is praotloally the Secretary of State. Hs has for years been the chief medium of communication between the Chinese and foreign nations, and he is the most progressive Chinaman in the empire. It was he who introduced the telegraph into China, and the wires that run into his palace at Tientsin connect him with every court of Europe and with every part of the United States. He is said to be a very rich man, and his income ranges between 150,000 and 8100,000 per year. No one knows how much he has made out- side of his offices. I heard it said in Tien- tsin that he was worth $60,000,000, and on the other hand his friends claim that he is not worth more than 82,000,000 or 88,- 000,000. Whatever he has must coma from his own idea of his share of the receipts, for the Chinese Government pays small salaries and expects the offioials to steal the balance. Few pe%lle have any idea of the nobil- ity of China. The country is divided up among the officials and it is generally eupposed that offices are only given on ac- count of literary merit. Tho truth is that the best places are given out through in- fluence, and every Chinese state is sur- rounded by intrigues and intriguers. There is no court in the world about which there is so much plotting about as that of Peking, and there is none which has so many nobles and officials of differ- ent rank. The elnperor is, of Course, at the top. He is the son of heaven, and Is supposed to hold communion with the gods. All of his relatives are nobles, and the imperial clan has a court of its own, which holds secret meetings and regulates matters concerning the family. There is a genealogical record kept in Peking and at Mukden, and this contains a -record of all the branches of the eleporos's family Each of its members has an allowance from the government, but they have not a great deal of power. The emperor is supposed to be supreme, and ho can ap- point his own successor, choosing which of his children shall succeed hien. He is supposed to make this selection in secret and the announcement of his choice is not to be made until his death. The present emperor has a number of relatives who are known as princes, and among these as Prince Ching who is now at the head of the bureau of foreign affairs, and who is said to be somewhat progressive in his tendenotes. These princes have their own rank, and there are twelve different orders of nobility among the members of the imperial household. The highest prinose get about $18,000 a year, aim' Ihey e have a retinue of 360 scrvn lowance of roti,.' costs the .,5,000 a yoaq apiece ..r teem, These highest princes are the brothers or sons of the emperor. Next to them are his majesty's cousins, who got About $45,000 a year, and the other rela- tives get less, until the lowest of the im- portal family are paid about $4 a Inonth and rnttens. In addition to these there are dukes, counts, barons and marquises, Which ranks are conferred by the emper- J COLD IN THE HEAD AND HOW TO CURE IT. One of the most unpleasant and danger- ous maladies that afflicts Canadiang at this season is cold in the head. Unpleasant, because of the dull, heavy heaeaohe, in- flammed nostrils and other disagreeable symptoms a000mpanyiug it; and danger. ous, because if neglected it develops into catarrh, with its disagreeable hawking and spitting. foul breath frequent lose of taste and smell, and in many cases ultimately developing into consumption. Nasal Balrn is the only remedy yet discovered that will instantly relieve cold in the head and cures in a few applications, while Its faithful use will effectually eradicate the woret 'case of catarrh. Capt. D. H. Lyon, president of the C.P.R. Car Ferry, Prescott, Ont., says —"I used Nasal Balm for a prolonged case of cold in the head. Two applications ef- fected a cure in less than 24 hours. I would not take $100 for my bottle of Nasal Balm, if I could not replace it." Sold by all dealers, or sent by mail postpaid at 60 cents per bottle, by addressing G. T. Ful- ford & Co., Montreal. Ort in of the .Batch, Romer, Proschel and Irinyi are variously named as inventors or phosphorus matches. From the testimony of a still living college friend, it appears that the real inventor is the -Hungarian, Janos Irinyi. It was in 1835, when the latter, then 19 years old and a student at the Polytechnic School, in Vienna, attended Professor Meissner', lectures on chemistry. He became greatly impressed by a demon- stration of the reaction produced on rub- bing together peroxide of lead and sul- phur. It struck him at once that the re- action might be greatly intensified when substituting phosphorus for sulphur. Irinyi was not to be seen at the college for the next few days. His friend, wishing to see him, called at his rooms, but foti>*d the door locked. On joining his friends,Irinyi had his pockets full of matches, which be struck on the walls, all of them taking fire. He prepared them by melting phos- phorous in a concentrated solution of glue and shaking until the mass became cold and all the phosphorus assumed a finely divided state. This emulsipn was mixed with brown peroxide of lead, and sticks previously dipped in molten sulphur were immersed in the mixture. He sold his in- vention, it is recorded, to a merchant named Romer for about $3,500,—Invention. Carlyle, "Warta and AIL" Froude thought Newman had the intel- lect of a Caesar; Carlyle, he tells us, de- clared that Newman had the brain of a rabbit. Froude admered Charles Lamb above all English writers; Carlyle de- scribes "Ella" and his poor sister in words that are harrowing to most of us to read. But• as a conscientious biographer, in- trusted with all the papers and documents, Froude decided, and rightly, that Carlyle must appear, "warts and all," And when he had given us his portrait, with these disfigurements, be told tiepin all sincerity that it was the portrait of the noblest hu man being he had ever known.—The National Review A LONDON DRUGGIST.

In Panaria, one of the smaller islands of the Lipari, or lEolian group of islands in the Mediterranean, all the offices of the community inhabiting the island are unit- ed in one person, Padre Michelangelo, who is priest, mayor, harbormaster, post- master. master of the marine telegraph and official general. He fills the whole of them to the entire satisfaction of the com- munity, being assisted in the telegraph department by his widowed niece. Sim- ilar cases are not unknown in England. ,At the revising barrister's court, held on Sept. 4, 1894, at the Castle .Eden Inn, Castle Eden, in the County of Durham, it transpired that in the township of Nesbitt George Brown, farmer, was the only resi- dent and therefore filled all the public 'offices. He levies the rates upon himself and pays them himself. The township of Birches, in the division of Knutsford. Cheshire, has only one occupier, John Holland, farmer. He is both guardian and overseer, makes his own rates, collects and pays them, and looks after the com- pilation of the parliamentary register. Another like township is that of Wailers - court, in the parliamentary division of 'Eddisbury, where another gentleman, the only occupier, fulfils the duties of all the public offices connected with the township, At the various revision courts he attends with his parliamentary voters' list, whfoh simply contains his own name.-Tid-Bits, The Strength of Snails, I have a weakness for snails, and one day, having found a floe specimen, I tied a fine cord around his shell after having fas- tened a bit of iron to the other end of the same, in order to keep him until I needed him. The iron was bigger than he was, and I supposed it heavy enough to hold him, until my attention was attracted by a dragging, scraping sound on the window- sill, where I had corralled my captive. This aroused my curiosity, and I determ- ined to find out how much one snail could pull. I loosened the from the belt of fres a- •; ,."'le - .0 a letter -scales and e- 'IP,: -..r. Snail as he pulled the Indl- atur around to very nearly nine ounces. Then I took a little match -box, such a9 matches are bought in, put it on two pen - dile, by way of wheels, and proceeded to hitch up my snail. I then loaded up my miniature cart with cents. and found be could pull it up to a weight of nine and n quarter ounces; that is, about twenty times his own weight, which was half no ,ounce. In any country where time is no object we would respectfully submit that new motive power to those studying motors,— St. Louis Republic. - TEMPERING ALUMINIUM. A Discovery That lu,ty 1149reas. US Madera Usefuinesa. The suocossful tempering of aluminium so as to give it the consistency of iron is the latest triumph o1 F. Allard, the Leyte blacksmith, whose rediscovery of the lost Egyptian art of hardening copper startled the mechanical world some three or four years ago, and only failed to make the fortune of the author because of the ex- pensiveness of the process. A reoent trial of Allard's tempered aluminium has proved a'suucess of his method in Quebec and the practical purposes to whfoh it can be applied. Ile had made and hardened a Dannon, which has just been tested in presence of Col. Spence, the American consul, with ,'the greatest sucees. This cannon is twenty-six inches long and five inches in diameter, the Intal of the gun outside the bore being only a quarter of an inch thick. A charge, consisting of a pound of powder, has been successfully fired out of this little piece of ordinance without having any appreciable effect upon it. A new and more soientiflo trial of thecannon has been ordered by the Canadian military authorities to be held immediately at the Quebec Citadel by the art II luny experts i here, and the United States Consul, in view of this move, is understood to luta a encouraged Mr. Allard to manufacture, as speedily as possible, a cannon twelve feet in length for ship- ment to Washington, but whether this is to be at Allard's risk or by instructions from the United States Govenrment is not known and cannot be learned. The ad- vantage of cannons made of aluminium, everything else being equal, lies of course in the lightness of the metal. The can- non just tasted weighs fourteen pounds. If it were of iron and the same dimen- sions it would weigh 180 pounds. Allard's friends, and military enthusiasts over the pm,jeot, assert that if the tempered alum- inium supersedes iron for the Slaking of big guns field artillery men, instaed of be- ing dependent on horses and gun carriages for dragging their weapons over rough country, will be able to shoulder them like muskets. In appearance the finished specimen looks as though it was made of burnished silver. W. R. Ward. Almost a Hopeless Case. A Terrible Cough. No Rest Night nor Day. Given up by Doctors.
