Czar as Composer of Music.
For the last 18 months the czar has
been virtually a prisoner in one of
his own palaces and in the intervals
of state work he has solaced himself
with composing music and writing
verse. His poetry is melodious and
carefully polished and his music is
melancholy and inspired by a spirit of
fatalism. Some three years ago some
of the czar's poems were published
under the pseudonym of Olaf, with
music by his cousin, the Grand Duke
D'Assia, but he has himself set some
of his verses to music with a consider
able amount of taste and a real knowl
edge of harmony. Nicholas 11. has a
fine collection of violins, of which he
is very proud.

Peat as Inexpensive Fuel.
Lieut. H. Ekelund, of Jonkoplng,
Sweden, claims to have made an im
portant invention in fuel saving. Ac
cording to his method, peat is used in
the shape of a powder and is said to
give sufficient heat to use steel in a
furnace without the use of coal.

Perfect
Womanhood
The greatest menace to woman’s r
permanent happiness in life is the *
suffering that comes from some de
rangement of the feminine organs.
Many thousands of women have
realized this too late to save their
health, barely in time to save their
lives.
To he a successful wife, to retain
the love and admiration of her hus
band, should be a woman's constant
study.
If a woman finds that her ener
giesare flagging, that she gets easily
tired, dark shadows appear under
her eyes, she has backache, head
ache, bearing-down sensations, ner
vousness, irregularities or the
“blues,” she should start at once to
build up her system by a tonic with
specific powers, such as
“I have suffered with kidney and
bladder trouble for ten years past.
‘‘Last March I commenced using
l’eruna and continued for three mouths.
J have not used it since, nor have 1 felt
a pain.
“ I believe that I am well and I there
fore give my highest commendation to
the curative qualities of l’eruna.”
Pe-ru-na For Kidney Trouble.
Mrs. (leo. Ji. Simser, Grant, Ontario,
Can., writes:
•' 1 had not been well for about four
years. / had kidney trouble, and, in
fact, felt badly nearly all the time.
“This summer 1 got so very bad I
thought I would try I’eruna, so I wrote
to you and began at once to take l’eruna
and Manalin.
‘T took only two bottles of l’eruna
and one of Manalin. and now I feel
better than 1 have for some time.
“1 feel that l’eruna and Manalin cured
ine and made a different woman of me
altogether. 1 bless the day 1 picked up
the little book and read of your I’eruna.”
It is the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. There are
times when they need a little assistance.
I’eruna is exactly this sort of a rem
edy. It has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys ser
vice at a time when they were not able
to bear their own burdens.
THOUGHT HE WAS WANTED.
Swede Returned According to Instruc
tions on Envelope.
Christ Nelson, having been in this
country only a few weeks, was slow in
learning American customs, anti espe
cially the inscriptions on envelopes.
One of his first acts after landing in
Oregon was to take out naturalization
papers. On the corner of the envelope,
in which were contained the docu
ments that made him an American
citizen, were the words: "Return in
five days.”
“Wal, 1 be har.” he said yesterday,
as he shuffled up to the counter in the
county clerk's office and spoke to Dep
uty Prasp.
"What do you want?” asked that of
ficial, carefully noting the embarrassed
flush on the Swede's face.
“Wal, it say on this har envelope
‘return in five days,’ and time lo up
to-day. so I ban come round.”
When assured that nobody wanted
him, he turned with surprise and
walked sadly away, not certain
whether he was naturalized or not.—
Portland Oregonian.
Use for Worthless Stocks.
"Wildcat mining stocks are not al
together useless — or worthless,
either," said a downtown broker who
handles cheap mining stoc ks, the other
day as he hung up the telephone re
ceiver. "Here's a man who has just
offered me $50 for enough mining
stocks to have a face value of $50,000.
He wasn't particular what stocks he
got if they only had a (taper value of
$50,000. I closed the deal and shall
make monej on it. too. What did he
want with such stocks? Well, T
haven't the slightest doubt but that
he is getting ready to go into the
bankruptcy court and wants to show
his creditors where his money has
been dropped. We often got such re
quests anil are usually able to fill
them.”—N. Y. Sun.
They Tightened Up.
“I presume that your failure showed
you that you had a great many close
friends?”

bunch of friends any man ever had.”

A HORRIBLE WRECK
THIRTY-FIVE KILLED AND MANY
INJURED IN WRECK OF SPE
CIAL TRAIN AT HONDA,
Santa Barbara, Cal., May.—While
hurrying northward over the Coast
Line of the Southern Pacific Railway
Saturday afternoon, homeward bound,
after a week of fraternizing and fies
ta in Los Angeles, 154 Shriners of
lsmalia temple, of Buffalo, and Rajah
temple of Reading, with their families
and friends, were hurled into the
midst of death when their special
train, running fifty miles aji hour,
struck a defective switch at Honda,
a lonely station on the sand wastes
of the Pacific beach, derailing the
train, smashing the coaches into flin
ders, killed thirty-five almost instant
ly and injuring more than a score of
others. The bodies of twenty-five lie
in the morgues at Santa Barbara, and
ten more are at San Luis Obispo. The
injured, many of whom are ter
ribly hurt and will probably die, are
in two sanitariums at San Luis Obis
po.
The wreck occurred exactly one
hour and 45 minutes after the con
clave visitors, forming a merry par
ty, had spent all of the morning sight
seeing in Santa Barbara. The state
ment that the train was making a ter
rific speed when it struck the defec
tive track is borne out by the fact
that it covered 01 miles of curves and
crooked track between here and Hon
da in exactly 100 minutes. There was
no warning of the impending calam
ity. The special plunged upon the de
fective switch, and in an instant the
big locomotive, baggage car, diner and
Pullman coupled with it, were hurled
together in a huge heap of wreckage.
The engine shot forward on the brok
en track, tearing up the rails and ties
and twisting the huge iron spans into
fish hooks. The baggage car half bur
ied itself in the sand on the right
side uf the locomotive. It was smash
ed almost to kindling wood.
The dining car, in whicli were 22
passengers eating their noonday meal,
leaped into the air and were thrown
directly onto the top of the demolish
ed locomotive. Nearly every person in
this coach was instantly killed. Scores
were scalded by steam escapng from
disconnected pipes in the kitchen of
the diner.
The terror and turmoil of the scene
was indescrible. Many of those who
escaped instant death by the first im
pact were crushed by the rear coach
es hurled upon the other wreckage.
Others pinioned in the debris were
roasted alive. The wreckage caught
fire from the coals of the engin-j, but
was extinguished in a few minutes by
the passengers who escaped injury.
Many fainted at witnessesing the aw
ful scene of horror caused by the con
dition of the injured.
Disastrous Mine Explosion.
Mexico City, May.—According to a
dispatch which was received from the
city of Torreon, Coabuila, 90 lives
were lost in a lire which occurred in
tlie Cornethas shaft of the Lernaras
group of mines in the town of Velar
dena, state of Durango. The fire start
ed early Friday night in an abandoned
shaft. At the time,there were 107 men
working iu another part of the mine,
and from what can be learned at this
time, but 17 of them escaped. Thir
ty-five bodies have been recovered, ac
cording to latest reports received from
the scene of the disaster, but as the
fire is still raging it is feared that
few others imprisoned "ill be found.
The shaft in which the fire is still
raging and said to be beyond control
