HOW A PRINCE‘KEEP‘S c3001..~
Lives it} 8 Gorgeous Floating Palace
Which Catches River Breezes.
Very ingenious is the scheme of the
Prince of Agra in India, which, instead
‘ of being a sinking room is a floating
palace of the most stupendous and
magnificent proportions. Although 01
only two stories, its height is immense
the rooms being grand vaulted cham-
bers, furnished in the most gorgeous
Oriental manner. All the chairs have
golden arms, and precious stones are
set in the backs. The wall decorations
are beautiful beyond description, while
theceilings are tinted to represent the
sky, silver. stars appearing here and
there on the dark blue background.
The palace .is made of both wood and
stone, but so constructed that it floats
with ease. When not in use it is
moored to the banks of the river
Jumna. '
Here the Prince and his royal re-
tinue betake themselves on sultry af-
ternoon and lazily the palace glides
down the river to the soft, sweet music
of soothing harpsi. Up and down the
tide it majestically floats like a huge
white swan, while within the royal
guests sip cooling beverages and idly
dream away the sultry hours.

WOMAN- SPY. OF THE LOST CAUSE.
Eventful Life of an one Character in
' Canip"“a.nd Field. ' ,
Mrs. John Mance, one of the eddest
of rare characters, was found dead
seated by the roadside in Clay county,
Tenn, recently. Hers was indeed a
strange and eventful life. Sixty years
ago Jacob Schroder, a Pennsylvania
Dutchman, emigrated to Kentucky and
settled down to farming and dealing
3n stock. His family consisted of two
Ions and a daughter. By frugal habits
Schroder accumulated considerable
property and was known as one of the
wealthiest men of this section. The
laughter, Katie, had many admirers
ind married John M. Mance, a farmer.
,At the commencement of the war
Mance, who was a strong Southern
sympathizer, was arrested and taken to
Louisville, where he died in priSon.
Mrs. Mance always claimed his death
was caused by the cruel treatment of
HS captors. Burning for revenge, Mrs.
VIance entered the service of the reb-
515 in thecapacity of a spy. She was
of great value to the Confederates and
vas Considered one of the most daring
:pies in the service.’ She was with
Bragg, when he raided through Ken-
ucky, and at the battle of Perryville
iandled a musket in the front ranks.
During the war she was usually at—
:ired in male attire, unless feminine
ittire suited her purpOse better.
Many were hear hairnreadth escapes
from capture and death. One of the
:losest calls she ever experienced was
while fording Red River, in Logan
:ounty, Ky. She had visited Russell-
rille in search of information. . An

Tea. '1l1ut Makes You Thin.
Everybody knoWs that tea when
lrunk in hot weather makes a. person
oerspire. You have no cause for fear
.is long. as you keep to drinking tea
as procured in England; but .if you
ion’t want to waste away to a shadow,
ion’t have anything to do with tea as
:hey drink it in Ceylon. -
The tea-plans of Ceylon are infested
vith an insect known as the tea-worm.
[‘his is a most minute creature, visible
mly through a powerful microscope.
[he leaves of the tea-plant are 'cov-
ared with them, and you probably get a
’ew thousands of the creatures in a
)ound of tea; but they are quite harm-
ess as received by us. 'In Ceylon,
iowever, the tea is used soon after it
s picked, and the insects, being then
illve, have a peculiar effect on persons
lrinking the tea.
As soon as you have drunk a cup of
:his tea you will begin to perspire
lreely, the pores of the skin remaining

.hrough and through. The effect is so
veakening that persons have been

Brandret’s pm.
The difference betWeen these pills and all other medicines is
told in the follOWingstatehaent of facts: . ,
xst. They have been in active demand ,in‘the markets of the world since 1770..
or for nearly one hundred and thirty years. ' ‘3
2d. They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest
class drugs, obtainable. ' " , I . ' ' . __ '
3d. They are kept for two years in our storehousesafter being made, and
no pills are sold until they are TWO YEARS old. This allows them to
become thoroughly mellowed and makes of them the very best
and safest cathartic medicine that it is possible to procure. '
4th. They never become inured to the system; that is, the same dese
will always produce the same effect. This cannot truthfully be said
of any other medicine. _ There. are' others who claim it, but
demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH'S PILLS.
5th. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very
acid Condition. and then only if the dose is a largebne. In doses of
one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience.
6th. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately.
~7th. 'BRANDRETH‘S PILLS are composed one-third of the best extract of sarsa-
parilla that can be made. It is highly concentrated and it makes of these
pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con~
taining more of the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparilla
than a dollar's worth of any liquid preparation in the market.
8th. One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism in almost every
instance.
9th. They are a posxtive and effective remedy for constipation and for all the‘
I long list of ills that follow in its wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness,
' drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath, headache. pain in the stomach.
etc. Take one or two pills every.night-—o‘ne is usually enough—and
be certain that a cure will follow. ' 7 ~
10th. They are the best complexion'pills. After you have taken them for a
few nights, your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful color, your
’,\ eye a brilliant lustre, and sallowness and pimples will disappear.
11th. BRANDRETH’S PILLS NEVER injure—you are always in better health
after taking a dose—they are the safest medicine to give children and
women in delicate‘health. One pill is usually sufficient.
12th. No medicine is made with such‘ infinite care as BRANDRETH'S PILLS
—-no medicine but BRANDRETH’S PILLS is kept tor TWO YEARS befgre
they are boxed to be Suld. '
13th.. Except in sudden and acute sickness, when the dose should be from
four to eight pills. the best results are obtained by taking one Or twos
pills every night for a week or two. They act on the liver and leave
that organ in a perfectly healthy state, and when your liver is right
your blood is pure, and you are well. Don’t bully your liver with
_ powerful medicine, but coax it with BRANDRETH’S PILLS.
14th. BRANDRETH’S PILLS are sold throughout the world. with and without
sugar coating. They never fail to do their work.
