Dlscomforts That Court Etiquette Im- posed on the Czar and. His Suite.‘ Those who imagine that all is couleui de rose for crowned heads little knew the immense inconveniences and dis‘ comforts with which they are frequent- ly obliged to put up by very reason of their exalted position." No more striking demonstration of this coulc‘ well be found than is to be met with in the recital of the Russian Imperial family’s trials at the time of the visit to Balmoral. The Emperor and the Empress, with the little Grand-duchess Olga, who was then about eight months old, left Denmark in the imperial yacht Standart, crossed the German Ocean and ran up the River Dee, coming to anchor about seventeen miles from the castle. They were met by the Prince of Wales, and his suite. A drizzling rain was falling as the imperial party disembarkcd, and hardly had they tak- en their places in the landaus—the Em- press in the most dainty of white, lace- trimmed gowns, and the Emperor and his suit in their magnificent gold em- broidered uniforms—when an ordeI was given for the tops of the carriages to be thrown open, and despite the steady downpour into which the drizzle had now turned, the imperial cortege set forth in this manner. After some slight protest on the Empress’ part Her Majesty raised an umbrella, as did also the lady-in-waiting, who had ‘the bare of baby Olga; and so. between al- ternations of drizzle and pouring rain, the seventeen miles were accomplished gaping crowds lining the entire way to witness this most uncomfortable pas- sage of royalty. There was, however, consolation in the thought that, once the castle was attained, their trouble would be over. Vain hope! At the castle entrance stood a Court Chamberlain, who as each carriage drove up informed its oc- cupants that Her Majesty requested the immediate attendance of its occupants in the great drawing room; and, all drenched as they were from the wa- tery drive, they passed into the Queen’s presence, the little Grand-duchess alone being carried at once to her apart- ment. Seated on a large round ottoman in the centre of the room, her black dra- peries standing out about her in some- thing of the form of a haystack, with the Princesses draWn up in a half-ciréle beyond, the Queen awaited the arrival of her imperiai grandchildren, and most cordial and aflectionate was her greeting when they appeared. Just as all were congratulating themselves up- on their final release being close at hand, dinner was announced, and, tak- ing the Emperor’s arm, the Queen led the way immediately to the dining- room. Nor were the troubles of the guests ended with the dinner, 'for no soOner. had the queeniand Empress re- tired with their ladies than the Prince U. of Wales led the Emperor and his Suite to the smoking-room, where for a good half hour they stood gazing with long. ing eyes at the low Turkish divans and tempting easy chairs, in which their uniforms—unbending as steel harness with their resplendent gold embroider- ies—utterly prohibited their reclining Surely the hour at which court eti quette permitted of their retiring must have been hailed that night with most devout thanksgivings from them all. A New Subscriber. “Say, kernel,” he said, as he walked 'into‘ the editor’s office and stamped about forty pounds of mud off his boots against the legs or the stove, “I sorter thought I’d take your paper of you'd do the square thing.” “Why, of course; we are always glad to accommodate our subscribers.” ‘ “Well, here’s a. little obituary of Aunt Kaline—hit’s jes’ ten pages 0’ foolscap‘ an’ won’t make much, I reckon.” , “We’ll print it." "An’ you’ll send forty copies of the paper to this ’ere list 0’ relatives, won’t you?" . “Yes. " “An’ next week my daughter Serilly is goin’ to get married. I reckon you’ll print a hull lot about that " “Of course; that’s news." “An’ say, I've got one of the finest young shotes you ever have saw. I want you to come out some day and write up hit.” “I shall be glad to do so.” “You hain’t got a dozen or two old magazines whut you’s done read a- lyin’ eround handy, hev you ?” “Yes; here's three or four.” “Thanky. Jes’ put me down for three months, an’ I’ll hand you the Quarter ’long this fall some time. ” HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with ur inc and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire - to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfortin the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer' s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef- fects following use of liquor, wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin- ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp—Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.
