It is so powerfully anti- septic that it kills instantaneously the harmful microbes which set up inflam- mation and putrefaction in a wound. Yet it is so mild that it can be applied to the skin of a newly born bake, It is universally be. lieved in wherever it has ever been tried. One of England's leading analysts has testified his distinct knowledge ---based on exhaustive experiment—in its power to cure, America's ex -champion wrestler says : "I never go on the mat without it." hospital nurse,, medical men and clergymen endorse it When, therefore, for skin injury or disease you need a household balsa remember that there's nothing to equal Zara-Euk.

Tile strange discovery In Ireland the other day of a vaulted subterranean chamber un- der an ancient castle revives the belief In the undiscovered secrets that still await the explorer of our mediaeval strongholds. Romanitc novelists have been largely re- sponsible for the general indifference to tb'o very real mysteries and -tragedies of these grim castles, for thele• taoles of hidden wrong and violence have come to be regarded as merely efforts of the imagination, having no existence in fact. How very wide of the mark this is lot the following few instances show: A discovery almost iprecisely identical with that in County Roscommon a few days since was inade in 1826, during the restoration works In the ancient chapel attached to the castle of St: Michael's mount, in Cornnvall, which dates back to the fourteenth century. Tho workmen in removing a wooden plat- form discovered a walled -up door in the south wall and opening 1t a narrow flight of stone steps was revealed, leading down Into a griin stone Boll nix feet square, without any win- dow or other opening than tlio door by which they had entered. They were horrified by stumbling in the darkness of that dreadful place upon what proved to bo a skeleton of a man of extraor- dinary height What unfortunate wretch was thrust luto this living tomb to die of starvation has never been discovered, Such dungeons as these, in which you flung your victim and then 'forget" htm, were known as "oubliettes." The appaltng cynicism that constructed this ,oarticular example beneath the chapel +1+ floor is worthy of remark, While the doomed man lay there in the agony of starvation above him the polus castellan and his fellow vlilians were praising Cod. The ruined castellated manor home of Minister Lovel in Oxfordshire kept its tragle secret some 220 years. This is one of the most romantic places In England, both in the circumstances of its situation and its story. It came to Fran- cis, Viscount Level, in the time of Richard III. Ile it was whose name was one of the subjects of a political rhyme then current in the land: The cat, the rat and Jovel the dog Rule all England, under the hog. Tho cat was Catesby, the rat Radcliffe and the hog King Rlehard himeelf, whose favor- ite badge was the blue guar. Tho character- ization of Level as the "dog" sounds like the expression of a special hatred and contempt of him, but it was merely a play upon lits ancestral crest, that of a hound, or, in beret - die language, a "talbot." .01,111, he was the object of much hatred on the part of the Lancastrians, for he had deserted their cause for that of the Yoriclsts. When the Lancastrians triumphed and Henry VII. reigned Level, to save his head, fled the country, but returned later with the invading expedition of the impostor, Lam - bort Simnel. At the battle of Stoke, when Simnel was defeated, Lovel mysteriously dis- n.ppeared, By some ho was thought to have fallen on the field, while others declared that they had seen him In flight, attempting to swim his horse across the broad channel of the river Trent. Ile was never again hoard of until 1704, when, in the course of some alterations in what had been his old manor house of Min• ister Lovel, a large underground vault was discovered. When the workmen accidental- ly broke into it they were astounded at the grisly sight of the skeleton of a man seated at a table, his bony band still supporting a shriveled countenance, dried, phrcbmentllke, over the skull. Before him lay a cap molded, and decayed. with an open book, paper and I.IFE A Time When Women Are Susceptible to Many Dread Diseases—Intelligent Women Prepare for It. Two Relate Their Experiences. The "chane of life" is the most critical period of a woman's existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason. Every woman 'who ne- glects the caro of her health at this time invitee disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition, or she le predisposed to apo- plexy, er congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to be- come active—and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. .A this time, also, enncere and tumors are more liable to toren and begin their des- truetiVe work. Such warning symptoms Ae sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, back- aches, dread of impending P g evil, timidity sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, con- stipation, variable appetite, Weakness, inquietude, and dizziness are promptly heeded by intelligent wo- men who are approaching the period in life , when woman's great change may be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound was prepared to meet the needs Of woman's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strength- ens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system.

Empty barrels and some gnawed bones were also discovered. Tho discovery explained the mysterious disappearance of Lord Level. He had fie,l from the fatal field to his old home in the peaceful water meadows by the winding Wlndrush and had lata there in concealment, far removed from hostile notice, In this secret room, whose existence eras known to only one confidential servant, IIo had been furnished with provisions to last some time in case of need and had then been locked in against such time as it would bo possible once more to escape abroad. Whether the servant yielded to treachery or was killed or died will never be known. Only the fact remains with the unfortunate Lord Level, having exhausted his stock of food, was starved to death in his secret hiding place. Nowadays the great house of Minister Lovel is no more than a maze of tall, ruined walls, from whose midst the traveller sees the parish church rising pictureeequely in the distant view. Many supernatural legends belong to old castles. That of Skenfrith, Monmouthshire, was the subject of such a one so far back as the time of Queen Eliza- beth, when ti was said: "The voyce of the county goeth there is a dyvell and him dame, one sits upon a hogshead of gold, the other upon a liogshed of silver." The writer of this startling news petitioned the queen's ministers from his dungeon cell in the tower of London that be might be set at liberty to go and find his treasure for the queen's majesty, probably thinking that evon an encounter with guardian devils would be preferable to endurance. But we do not hear that they let him go. A secret to the eupornatural sort is tradi- tionally said to belongto Rochester castle. According to the marvelous legend, a myste- rlous crypt exists, crammed full of untold sold. To find it you must seek with a hand of glory—rather a difficult thing to obtain in these days. To prepare this magic. article you cut off the dried guilty band of a hanged and gibbeted murderer, wrap It to a winding sheet, count seven, name the seven planets, and after a number of exceedingly nasty rites take some of the murderer's fat and some of his hair and twist the mixture on the fingers of the band, making them in fact, into so many candles. Lighting them, .the approved method, according to the "Ingolds- by Legends," is to chant: Now open, lock, To the Dead Man's knock Thy bolt and bar and band! Nor move nor swerve Joint muscle or nevre At the spell of tbo Dead Man's handl Sloop all who sleep, wake all who wake! But ho as the Dead for the Dead Man's sake! Legend tells tbet one intrepid seeker did at that vague period known as "once upon a time" fullfll all those varied processes and came at last to the mystic portal, dousing hie magical gllm as be progressed. He had ex- tinguished all but the thumb when ho uttered an exlamation. (Perhaps ho burned him- self.) Instantly his unholy candelabra burst into flame once more and he was dashed senseless to the ground. He was never again able to find the crypt or the door. WOMAN AND DRESS. FAMILY LIVING AMONG BELLS. Births, Deaths and Marriages in a Great Cathedral Tower. So far above the pavement that those who walk in and out among the hundreds of passing vehicles appear like creeping insects, and so high that the ordinary noises of the city reach upward only as a confused murmur, lives the family that has the distinc- tion of being the most elevated in' Mexico's capital. The home of this family is high up in the eastern .tower of the cathedral; and there, among the bells that for centuries have called the faithful to the services of the church, this family has lived for years, and there is every indication that the tower will be their home for many years to come. Two years ago Manuel Brenn, the head of this family, died, and now his widow, Luisa de la Brena, assisted by her three sons and her daughter, looks alter the ringing of the bells and cares for the great clock that has marked time for so many years for the residents of that part of the city, Brides have been led to the little )home among the bells, births have there been celebrated and death many times has come to the occupants. It was more than 100 years ago that a man was placed in charge of the bells and those who now live there are the lineal descendents of this man. This man was the grandfather of Luisa de la Brena, who is now a grandmother lheirsulfl When her husband died he was an old man, and the woman is no longer young, but it is probable that the time-honored position of bell-ringer will not pass to new hands when she is carried down the winding flight of stairs. Doubtless the work will fall to one or all of her sons, who now spend their time in looking after the work of ringing the bells at intervals, the time of which is no doubt known to the priests themselves no better than to I them. They Are bell-ringers by birth and education. Those who sing the masses before the alines know the time for the ringing and the length of the per- formance no better nor as well as the members of the Brena family. There are three sons, Francisco, Augustin and Antonia, and one daughter, Maria Gaudalupe. The mother and daughter care for the home and the sons handle the ropes their father, their grand- father and their great-grandfather once handled. Probably not one man out of ten knows that a family is living in one of the cathedral towers, and probably not one man out of a hundred known anything of the condition of that hoine. By far the majority of those who do know there is a. family there is is im- agined that they live like oldinsry peons. The idea doubtless prevails that the family lives like the poorest How Her Garb Would Make Man's Life Miserable. (Public 'opinion.) The manners that the distinctly feminine dress necessitates would be considered manly if petticoats had been dedioated by custom , to men. Lot us imagine a youth putting 1 on the 'skirt, as the modern woman does for warmth and freedom, over some sort of knickerbockers. It sags and flaps and sticks, and wears out round the bottom, and catches between his Iogs in the most ungentlemanly manner, smears his boots with mud and gots trodden on behind when ho bends back, as he always does in carrying a baby or wheel- ing a jarambulator, and In front when ha goes upstairs. As it is vulgar to have legs, he must not expose these undignified !Mahe; so ho must really got something—In fact, layers of something—to puff the offensive garment out of his way; and, since man is a dainty and vain animal as well as a utlt- itarlan one, he gets the stuffing -out made, or devotedly makes it himself, of a starchy white or emotional gauze material, Certainly when he drags aside the outer robe toesce.pe the dust, be pulls its statuesque folds a bit awry; but as he thus makes a good impres- sion with the gauze on all apeetators, It matters not In the form and set of the cos- tume be not soronly Greek. It be raining woefully, and he seeks the shelter of an omnibus. This, however, is tilled with nimble, trousered barbarians, and draeory and all, be dlnibs the stairway.
