‘ lust What’s Needed. '
Exclaim thousands of people who have
taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla at this sea-
son of the year, and who have noted
the success of the medicine in giving
the relief from that tired feeling, wan-
ing appetite and state of extreme ex-
haustion after the close confinement of
_ a long winter season, the busy time at-
tendant upon a large and pressing
business during spring months and with
vacation time yet some weeks distant.
It is then that the building-up powers
of Hood’s Sarsaparilla are fully appre—
ciated. It seems'perfectly adapted to
overCOme that prostration caused by
change of season, climite or life, and
while it tones and sustiins the system,
it purifies and vitalizes the blood.

AN ORIENTAL NERO.
Crimes and Cruelties Practiced by Per.
sia’s Late Ruler. ;
With the death of N asr Ed-din there
has closed the career of one of the most
cruel and rapacious ’ monarchs Persia
has ever been accursed with—a verit-
tablc Oriental Nero. Under his reign
the peasantry were constantly plundered
without hope of relief, as the sO-called
civilized powers, Great Britain and Bus-
sia, ever had _, covetous eyes on the pos-
sessions of the Shah and winked at his
wickedness, says the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
Probably the most atrocious of the
many crimes of the Persian monarch
was the cruel death meted out to the
Governor of M atzendor, Abdullali
Kulah, whom he sentenced to be boiled
alive in a. cauldron of Oil, on the charge
of embezzlement. Notwithstanding his
pleadings and prayers, Abdullah Kulah
was pitched head first into the cauldron
by the executioners of his serene high-
ness, while the Shah stood by to see that
his mandates were obeyed.
Travelers through the domains of the
Shah said that it was not an uncommon
thing to hear‘groans issuing from pil-
lars of brick on the roadside, the living
tombs of peasants unable to satisfy the
demands of the tax gatherer—fleft to a
‘ lingering death, without food to satisfy
hunger or ,water to quench theirgthirst.
To prolong the misery of those unfor-
tunate wretches, a. small window-like
aperture is left in the} pillar, lthat the
prisoner may breathe, and not die from
suffocation. These tombs dot the way
side in the Province of Hamadaii as
plentifully as do crosses of the moun-
tain roads of Mexico to show where
some wayfarer has fallen by violence—-
a more merciful fate than the Persian
monarch meted out to his subjects.
LAWYERS ARE LONG SUFFERING.
The One in This Story was Unusual-
ly Hit Hard.
A Durham miner, aged 73, visited a
Newcastle lawyer, a. bachelor, for the
purpose of making his will. The old
man’s property consisted of ftwo small
cottages, that had cost him £150 and a.
little furniture, says London Household
Words. The lawyer having asked his
client how he wished to dispose of his
property, the latter replied:
“Ma ole woman hes to have all so
long as she’s ma widow. Efter that me.
bairns gets all.”
“What age is your old woman?” ask-
ed the lawyer.
‘ “Seventy-two,” replied the miner.
“And how long have you and your
wife been married?” asked the law-
yer.
“Over fifty years," answered the
miner.
Thereupon the lawyer suggested to
his client that he should give his wife
the interest during her life, whether
she continued a. Widow or otherwise.
“Hinney, a winnot; aa’ll hev ma aan-
way,” said the minor.
“But, surely.” replied the lawyer,
“you don’t expect your old woman,
seventy-two years old,would ever marry
again?”
The miner, looking the lawyer full in
the face, answered, with much solemn-
ily. “Wey, hinny, ther’s noe knaaing
what young chops like yourself will do
for money.” -

QUEEN or ENGLAND.
THE LOYAL ENGLISH VIEW OF THE
PRESENT SOVEREIGN.
What Is Said by a Thoughtful British
Journal of Her Remarkable Reign. A
Very Close View through Friendly
Eyes. .
The London Spectator; says: There is
something in the position of Queen Vic-
toria, as she approaches the confines of
late old age, which deeply moves the
European imagination. In all history
there has been no such reign, so long.
so little marked by collisions between
sovereign and subjects, so little broken
by public calamity or failure of any
description. George III. when he died,
had reigned a few months longer, but
George 111., though at intervals person-
ally popular, was at war with the
majority of his subjects during the
greater part of his reign; the advisers
he chose for himself, from Bute to
Adington. were usually inferior men,
and he lost by sheer mismanagement
the greatest possession of the British
crown. The Queen throughout her
reign has lost nothing which was hers
when she ascended the throne except
the seven Greek islands, which her
people never valued, and, in part no
doubt {from ignorance, do not miss.
Her advisers surrendered the Transvaal
after shedding much bloood for its pro-
tection—Isandlana was fought and lost
in protecting the Boers rather than
ourselves—and the surrender has turned
out disastrous; but the Transvaal was
no part of the Queen’s hereditary do-
minion, and the loss, as Englishmen
have reaped the profit of the gold
mines, is trifling when compared with
the total acquisitions of the reign. New
Zealand in the South Pacific, kingdom
after kingdom in Asia, provinces in
Africa, whose vastness Englishmen
even now do not realize. have been ,

added to the empire, until the Queen,
though she calls herself only Empress
of India, is practically also Empress of
Ava. and of the Nile. It is, however,
when we employ the terminology used
by the diplomats at the Congress of
Vienna that we realize the full degree
in which Providence has raised her
Majesty’s position, for under her gentle
and tolerant rule population has in-
creased even faster than the area ac-
quired by conquest or settlement, and
she probably reigns today over 120,-
000,000 more “souls" than obeyed her
when, as a girl of 18, she first ascended
the throne, the total number of her
subjects now amounting to nearly 400,-
000,000, or nearly one clear fourth of
mankind.
The revenue drawn from this vast
multitude is more than twice the sum
of which her Majesty’s advisers allover
the world disposed of in 1837, yet so
lightly does taxation dress that there is
no division of the empire which is not
far richer, while at home the increase
of wealth has been so vast that the de-
mand of the royal tax gatherers may be
said to be comparatively unfelt. There
is no corner of earth within her domi-
nion, or one in which the English lan-
gauge is spoken where the Queen would
not be as safe as within the walls of
Windsor.
How much of all this can be fairly
carried to the credit of the Queen? N 0
one will be able to answer that question
until, some fifty years hence, the secret
memoirs of this reign have begun to
pour thick and fas upon the minds,
possibly the slightly bewildered minds,
of intending historians.
among many that the Queen has been a
good queen, that to this day, when she
has reigned so nearly sixty years, her
Majesty’s personal seclusion has been
maintained, and she is still to the mass
of her subjects, indeed probably to all
except three or four close relatives and
friends, something of a veiled figure.
The veil which shrouds our monarch
would not be respected for a week if the
monarch were bad either personally or
politically. Some few facts, however,
may be taken as certain, and are indeed
matters of common knowledge. The
Queen, at first through her husband,
afterward through her own strength,
has for the last fifty years exercised a
great influence upon affairs, especially
upon foreign politics, has accelerated or
impeded the choice of Ministers, has
been the close confidant of every Pre-
mier, and has on every adequate occa-
sion exerted the full influence which
must belong, be °the Constitution what
it may, to the person who, being armed
with the impresoriptible ‘and self-
derived charm of the throne, has the
right to compel all Ministers and ser-
vants to explain to your wife, your wife
has influence, and the Queen throughout
her reign has been at least the wife to
the Ministry of the day. Yet in all that
time no one can point to an occasion on
which the Queen and her Ministry have
been in corlision, or in which she has
done any act over which wise Ministers
grieved, nor in which she has in the
slightest degree, we will not say for-
feited but diminished, the confidence
of her people.
Handy to Have.
Most Russian newspapers keep “a
man of straw” as responsible editor. In
return for the use of his name he draws
a. salary of about £200 a year. In the
event of prosecution the man of straw
has to stand fire. If the judgment is
against the paper he has to go to prison.
Some time ago the man of straw of the
"Novoe Vremya” was sentenced to four ,
months’ imprisonment. It was the first
piece of work he had done for some
years, although. he had been regularly
drawing his saintly all the time. —Pear-
