Mar, 16th. 1906 Intsreeting Pgculiaritina of the Late Ruler of Pereia. Muznffnr ed Din, the late shah of Perafa, had mnny interesting peculiari ties which are told by the authoni of “Queer Things About Persia ”. “He was nervous In the presence of Eu ropeans. He used to stand writh one hand on his scimiter and stroke his enormous mustache with the other In order to maintain his composure. As has been said, he used to utter some platitudes, such as: ‘Thank God we have had a fortunate year. Raiu lias been plentiful, and we hope that God will make the harvest abundant’ If he was in a genial mood he inquired after the respective sovereigns: ‘What are they all doing? Has the king of England won the yachting race? Has the kaiser killed many deer? Was the sultan of Turkey pleased with the pres ent I sent him lately? How is the czar?’ To which the Russian minister replied with forced politeness, ‘How can hp be anything else but well since he Is noticed by your majesty?’ “Muzaffar ed Din was a good man. His court was paved with good inten tions which he had not sufficient en ergy to carry our. Unlike his ances tors. he hated bloodshed, and while he was on the throne Instances of capital punishment were rare. Though he was a great sportsman, a fine shot who could hit with a rifle a coin thrown In the air, lie was as humane to animals as he was to human beings. Muzaffar ed Din was very fond of music. He detested thunder. Whenever It thun dered lie used to take refuge in a vault where the noise was drowned and had a tnulah, especially appointed for the purpose, to calm his misgivings. “Not long ago among the new things from Europe were little canoes in rub ber which were blown out and took the shape of a boat. The shah was very Interested. They were tried on the lake of a palace. Four fat nobles were embarked in one whose valve was partly opened, and the boat was pushed from land. It slowly sank till Its occupants were left floundering In the water. The shah enjoyed himself vastly, especially when they wore brought out looking as drenched seals. The poor men, though they got rheu matism, were delighted to have made the shah laugh. They received pen sions on the spot. “He was much Interested In photog raphy. He Instituted a photographer of state, who received $2,000 a year and was expected to buy every new patent that came out. Muzaffar ed Din was photographed every half hour. If he saw a European with a camera in the street he used to stop to let him take his photograph. Every kind of machinery, from the most important invention to penny toys, interested him. It was characteristic of him to pay no more attention to Marconi's dis covery than to a shilling automatic toy.”—Chicago News. Missouri and Missourah. We are perturbed to see that a Mis souri scboolma’am has been telling the Omaha people that the right way to pronounce Missouri is “Mus-our-i," with an Italian “1.” It is not with the letter “1” that we have any fault to find, but with the elimination of the English “i” on the first syllable. We cannot find anywhere among the au thorities on our language a precedent for giving tin* second sound of “u” to “1” except in Words like “bird,” “third” and others where “r” follows it. “Musslssippi” Is as good a pronuncia tion as “Mussourl.” There are so many mispronunciations of Missouri that perhaps one more is not a much greater distress. The chief pronuneia- tory thorn In Missouri is “Missourah.” This thrives like the burdock In the barnyard. It Is hard to remedy that twdst In the culmination of “Missou rah.” There are politicians who take “Missourah” along with them when they go campaigning, as they do the black slouch hat. At home they can discard one as easily as they can take off the other. Then there are others who are rear ed to “Missourah” as some lowans are reared to “loway.” Arkansas wisely decided to become “Arkansaw” by law and stick to It, which leaves “Kan sas” or “Kausaw” either right or wrong. Missouri is “Missoury” by leg islative enactment, and that ought to settle it. for these are the days when respect for legislative acts is extremely marked.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat lii, Real Estate For Sale Six-room cottage, Depot St., eaat front, $3,500. seven-room dwelling, east front, $2,000.

At the Array attA Ntvy dub In Wash ington s number of old timers were one evening swapping stories of Jie civil war when General Young told of a soldier in the Army of' the Potomac who entertained some unique ideas as to his financial value as well as of the method by Which that value could be realised. He was a white man and was detailed for service as a teamster in a train that was driven for the most part by negroes. Tbe darkies were hired at the rate of $25 per month, but the white soldiers received no more than the regular pay. $16. The man, in question appeared somewhat dis satisfied with this arrangement and made an application to hit captain. “I should like,” he said gravely, “to be appointed n negro by brevet and be assigned to duty in accordance with my brevet rank.”—LIpptncott’s. y? ' . RHEUMATISM Every case of Rheumatism has its origin and its development in tile blood. It is not a disease which is contracted like a cold, but it is in the blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather Of any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance, etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches, which are the natural symptoms of the disease. • Rheumatism is caused by sh excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Every muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with these acrid, irritating impurities, sr coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter, and the sharp, piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with every physical movement. When tfce blood is filled with uric acid poison, perma nent relief cannoflr be expected from liniments, plasters, or other external treatment.o, Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer Rheumatism and bring about a complete cuu., 4 he uric acid and The Pope and the Jew. The Outlook of Denver says that it is absolutely uufair to the pope to say that he Is an euemy of Ernesto Nathan, the new mayor of Rome, because Na than is a Jew. The pope is fond of telling this story: While he was a poor bishop he was in need of 10,000 lire. After having tried in vain to get the money from several wealthy men in Ids diocese he wrote to one Jacur, a Jew, asking him for the amount. By return mail came a letter with a check for 10.000 lire, which Jacur asked the bishop to accept on the condition that he would consider “one-half of it as a present from a friend.” Pope Plus has repeatedly expressed himself In con demnation of anti-Semitic movements. matter Cl ..lot 'Lu- . -t.

I had it in my knees, legs and ankles, and any one who has ever had Rheumatism knows how excru ciating the pain is and how it interferes with one at work.
