P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, and the re- sult was wonderful. P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG. “ Jacksonville, Fla, July 1, 1895.— Two years ago I had the worst ulcer on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten down to the bone, and my whole leg below my knee, and my foot was swollen and inflamed. The bone was swollen and painful, and discharged a most offensive matter. My physicians said I had necrosis of the bone, and my leg would have to come off. At this stage I commenced to take P. P. P. .and to bathe my leg with hot castile :soap suds. It began to improve at ‘once and healed rapidly, and is to—dav .a sound and useful leg. “I think P. P.

BY ELLA M. KENNEDY. Miss Abigail Dobbs, or Aun Abby, as her doting relatives called er, had several peculiarities, chief of ~which, and the one that caused her friends the most annoyance, was her extreme cllangeableness. Nevertheless the en- tire Dobbs family ado-red her, for she had, besides h’er peculiarities, a large bank account, and each fond relative secretly considered himself her special favorite and prospective heir, though all loudly disclaimed any thought of Thus matters had stood for years, and at the time my story opens, Miss Abigail Dobbs ,had just turned fifty. “She is safe beyond the matrimonial age now,” said Mrs. Nathan Dobbs to her-husband, as they sat on the piazza one pleasant afternoon. “One never feels secure before that.” Mrs. Nathan Dobbs considered her husband’s heirship an absolute certain- ty, and with good reason, for hadn’t Miss Abigail once hinted as much? But alas for human expectations! Mrs. Dobbs had scarcelyfinished im- parting this pleas-ant information to Nathan ‘when the postman came up the walk with a letter. “It’s from Aunt’Abby,” she .Iexi claimed, looking at the address. - Opening the letter she glanced hastily through its contents, then, beginning again, perused it more slowly, look- ing very much puzzled. She had read it three times when Nathan’s patience gave out. ' “Well,” he exclaimed, “is is Greek?” “It might as well be, for all I can make out of it,” said his wife. “Listen:— ‘ ~ “‘My dear Emelin-ez—As this is to be the week of the Grand Army En- campment, I thought I would take ad- vantage of the occasion and make you a little visit”. I shall bring Major F. with me; he is a little odd, and in- clined to think every stranger his en- emy; but I know you will like him, he is such an amiable fellow in the main. I must stop over at Cousin Jane’s on the way up, and as it is better for the major to see as few new faces as pos- sible, I will just send him right through, and Nathan can meet him at the depot. I shall come on the first train in the morning, but don’t on any" account let Major F. get out of your sight until I come. No one knows what might happen if you did. He will be on the train that arrives in Boston at five-thirty this afternoon. “ ‘Your affectionate Aunt Abigail.’ " “Now what do you think of that?” exclaimed Mrs. Dobbs. “Oh,” replied Nathan slowly, “it is sime new freak she has taken; this major seems to be a singular person.” “Singular! Why, he must be half crazy! And she has forgotten to men- tion his name! I wonder how under the canopy she expects we‘re going to find him! It isn’t any one belonging to to the family that I know of; who can he be, anyway?” Nathan silently shook his head. It was the first day of the Grand Army encampment. Regiments from all parts of the country had been pour- ing into the city all day, and there was bustle everywhere. When Mr. Dobbs reached the depot the five-thirty train had arrived, and its passengers were hurrying out into the streets. Mr. Dobbs looked sharply at the strangers, but seeing nobody that he thought would answer for “Major F.” he sought the conductor. That personage knew nothing of the. major, and Nathan lingered in the waiting-room until it was empty, save for a few war-veterans, He approached one of these, and care- fully explained his mission. The sol- dier shook his head, he knew nothing of the strange major. Seeing a veteran standing in the doorway who looked as if he might be a personage of some and repeated his question. “Why, yes,” replied the veteran. “There was a stranger with Colonel Blank—A very rem-a.rl<‘.:zble man, too. Let me see,” he added thoughtfuliy; “his name was Major Fa :sworth. Yes, that was it—‘si‘zijor Farnsivorth. There they are now,” he added, as two men entered the reom. "The fellow is the major.” ’ Mr. Dobbs hastened toward the strangers. ‘ “Major Farnsworth, I believe,” he. said, bowing to'one of them, a tall, dig- nified man. Dobbs quickly explained _ his errand. I The major looked pub; “An uncommonly intelligent man,” Mr. Dobbs said to his wife when they were alone. ‘_ > Mrs. Dobbs was not so easily pleased. . “He does seem very agreeable,” she admitted, “But you can’t trust these queer people. Why, he might take a fit any minute and do something ter- rible, thinking we were his enemies. Do be on your guard, Nathan.” After a consultation'the host and hostess concluded that under the cir- cumstances it would be wise to keep watch for the first part of the night at least. “Why, he might get up and murder us all in our beds!” declared Mrs. Dobbs. _ ~ They quickly laid their plans. Mr. Dobbs sat on the top stair of the land- ing in the hall near the door of the ma- jor’s room. 'Mrs. Dobbs sat in a rock- ing-chair at the end of the hall, where she could watch her husband and be ready to-scre'am at the first sign of alarm. Even Bridget was called from her snug bed and placed on guard half way down the stairs, so that she could be called upon in case of necessity. Thus the long hours dragged slowly on until midnight; there was not a sound to break the stillness save the ticking of the clock in the sitting-room below. Bridget’s head nodded and sank lower and lower; presently she paid the penalty of sleeping at her post by rolling down the stairs and landing with a shriek and thud in the hall be- low. Master and mistress hastened to her side, and to add to their confusion and alarm the majors surprised face appeared at the landing above. “Has anything happened?” asked quickly. “Bridget has fallen down stairs,” rc- plied Mr. Dobbs. “No harm done.” The major disappeared. , “Odd people thesei" he remarked, as he closed and locked the door after him. - Bridget, who, save for a thump on the head and a good shaking up, was not hurt, was hurried off to, bed, and Mr. and Mrs. Dobbs retired to the sit- ting-room, where they alternately lis- tened, and dozed; but nothing further happened to disturb the peace and quietude of the house. Breakfast was barely under way the next morning when Miss Abigail’s smiling face appeared at the door. “Aunt Abby at last!” exclaimed Mrs. Dobbs, with an expression of intense relief. “I am so glad you have come!” “Why, Emeline!” said Miss Abigail quickly. “You look dreadful! What is the matter?” “We didn’t sleep a wink last night,” answered Mrs. Dobbs, “on account of ’9 he “On account of the major!” inter- rupted Miss Abigail. “What a. pity! You see I changed my mind and took him with me, after all, and ” “Took who with you?” broke in Mrs. Dobbs with such sharpness that Miss Abigail stared. “Why, Major R,” she answered meekly. “His name is Fleetfoot, but I call him F. for short. Here he is,” she added, pointing to a lop-cared, bow- legged poodle under her arm, which nobody had noticed. . Mr. and Mrs. Dobbs gazed at each other in silence. “A fine blunder!” said Mr. Dobbs. Mrs. _Dobbs laughed hysterically, while her husband explained the situa- tion fully to his mystified relative. “As if I would have a real major, brass buttons and all, following me about,” said Miss Abigail, in great dis- gust, when he had finished. Of course the situation had -to be im- mediately explained to Major Earns- worth, and Mr. Dobbs hastened aviay to make the explanation. “So that accounts for last night’s doings,” said the major, laughing. “I confess I felt a little uneasy myself part of the time.” Mr. Dobbs then invited him most cordially to remain with them during the encampment, and the invitation was accepted. The week that followed was a very enjoyable one; everybody was charmed with the genial major. Even Bridget forgave him her cracked sku'll. Mrs. Dobbs was especially happy, for never before had Aunt Abby bestowed such marked favor upon her. The week ~drew to a close. On the afternoon of the last day Miss Abigail, looking as smiling as a May morning, came into the sitting-room where Mrs. Dobbs was busy with her plants. “Sit down a minute, Emeline,” she said. “Ifihave something very import- ant to say to you." ' . "You know that I have always thought a great deal of you and Na- than, Emeline,” continued Miss Abi- gail. “And we have always thought the world of you, Aunt Abby,” she said warmly. “I know it, Emeline, so I thought I would. tell you right away; of course the others need not know until the last Zl‘ed . Q thin’g.” 4 ' ” " I “Of course not.” echoed Mrs. Dobbs, DObbS’ Dobbs, he repeated ’beside herself with joy. “ I wouldn’t thoughtfully. “It must be some old school friend that I can’t recall for the moment; you see I have been away for several years, and I did not know that I had any freinds living in this part of the country.” “The idiot!” thought Mr. Dobbs, in _“He has forgotten where he started from this morning, no wonder Aunt Abby said he was Odd." “But I assure you,” added the ma- jor pleasantly, “that I will gladly ac- cept your generous invitation.” ' . As they walked toward home Mr. Dobbs was both Surprised and pleased by the majorls genial and brilliant. conversation. He was evidently a man of education, and had travelled exten- sively; he 'was. odd only at intervals, mention it for the world.” “Well,” continued Miss Abigail slow- ly, after a moment’s pause in which Mrs. Dobbs reached the highest degree of certainty, “in three months. from to- day Major Farnsworth and I are to be married.” Mrs. Dobbs’s face was a blank; she caught the arm of the sofa for sup- port. “I—I—wish you much happiness, I am sure,” she gasped. “I knew you would be pleaset ,” said Miss Abigail, as she hurried out to meet the major, Who was coming up the path. _ "Why, if a piece of the sky had fal- len I shouldn’t have been more taken aback,” Mrs. Dobbs said to Nathan af-_ forwards. “And to think it all came about through Aunt Abby’s change- ‘ I ableness!"

Good Digestion Waits Ion Appetite and Appetite on Cheerfulness— Bounding u‘oml Nature Leads to Health and Friends, and the Enjoyment of Life. “livery other country,” says Miss Parloa, “speaks of that one thing about Americans. They are always in a'hurry. we ought to take time to cultivate use, cheerfulness and pleas- ant conversation at the table, at least, for they add more to digestion than anything else. Nothing brings on in- digestion so quickly as being irritated, annoyed and disgusted at» table, and the housewife should be responsible for many things cheerful. Make the table as bright and dainty as possible. There is no excuse now for ugly, plain china when you can get dainty things for the same price. Pick up cups and Saucers here and there,_and pretty in- dividual plates. A pretty cup and sau- ccr, a delicate plate, a dainty centre- piece, a bunch of flowers, or even just a bit of grass, will brighten the table and afford a. pleasant subject of con- versation. Food is necessary for the body, but we don’t want to be animals only. , “The food question is a complicated one, many things entering into its proper solution. First, there is the cost depending upon income and What you can afford to buy. Then the nutritive value must be considered, the season, the climate and the age and occupa- tion of the persons” for whom you are providing. There are always eccen- tricities of taste and digestion, and the oft-repeated ‘it is good for you and you must eat it,’ when there is a strong feeling of repugnance for some special dish, should not be continued. Do not compel a child to eat things absolutely distasteful. “In buying, the market value of foods does not indicate nutritive value. A pound of tenderloin is not as nutri- tious as a pound of flank, on which account tenderloin should not be given to an invalid. Knowledge and judg- ment in buying will supplement 8. slen- der purse.” In" selecting meats Miss Parloa ad- vises the housekeeper to go to market herself. The larger the family the more economically they can be fed; but there is no economy in buying what is not needed. The longer beef and mutton can hang after killing an?~ be kept perfectly sweet, the more ten- der they will be. Lamb and veal, on the other hand, being immature, spoil quickly. W ' Queen Olga of Greece.

So he asked Olga, Grand Duchess, lovely daughter of Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, to sit bee. ' ‘i‘ax I I I I l QUEEN OLGA. side him, and she came. They were married in St. Petersburg on October '27, 1867. He was 22 years old, and she seven years younger. Even now the Athenians talk of the home com- ing of the girl queen. She‘at once won a warm place in the hearts of her adopted. people, and she boasts that she speaks the Greek better than her native tongue. . Guarding Sleeping Royalty. The most extraordinary precautions are taken in Spain to provide for the safety of the sovereign at night. His slumbers are watched through- out-the night by the Monteros do Espi- nosa, abody of men who for 4:22!) years have. enjoyed the exclusive privilege of guarding of their, royal master or mis tress from su‘n-set'to sunrise. They are bound by tradition to \be' natives of the town of Espinosa, and to have served with honor in the army. They lock the palace gates with much ceremony and solemnity at mid- night, and open them again at seven o’clock in the morning. Their fidelitv to the person of the sovereign is well tried, and does not admit of any question—Harper's Round Table.

Whenever a newspaper publishes something un-A friendlyto the Government, it is sup- pressed, and the editor is sent to pris- on. The real editor is never impris- oned, though. Every newspaper has what the Japanese call a ‘dummy ed- !tor.‘ and it is his sole duty'to go to jail every time the paper is suppressed for offending ‘the-‘Mikado. Then the real editor changes the name of 'the pagael and keeps on publishing it. Dummy editors spend most of their time in" pl'ISOD.—BN&“7 York.

AN APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE All Experience of Chopin’s \Vhen a Young Man Traveling in Poland. When the great composer and pianist Chopin was a young man, and his name was just beginning to be well known, he was traveling through Po- gland with a friend, and was one day snow-bound, some good natured peas- ant sucCeeded in getting his carriage out of a great snowdrift and piloting the travelers to the post house, where they were to change horses. As they entered the little house Chopin went to the piano, and, striking a few chords exclaimed joyfully, “Santa Cecelia. the piano is. in tune!" and seated himself at the instrument. As he sat there in}- stood watching him with mingled whether they are lOVers of music” said Chopin to his friend, and thereupon he began to play his fantasia on Polish hrs.

Suddenly the postmas- ._\‘: announced, “The horses are_l‘eady!” Chopin sprang up to leave, but a doZen voices cried, “Finish that wonderful piece—finish it!” And the postmaster, who had heard only a few bars, said pleading-ly, “I’ll give you courier, horses, everything you want, if you will remain just a little while.’ The fantasia was finished, and at last the pianist was allowed to depart, though with many expressions of sorrow from the enraptured group. Years after- wards, wheu all Paris fell under the charm of his spell, Chopin often re- called the tribute paid to him by the peasants in that Polish inn. Sllou'lii do Ilia Own Drinking. \Mr .
