Good
Is essential to V* ■
health. Every nook I
and corner of the ■ WVI
system is reached by the blood, and on
its quality the condition of every organ de
pends. Good blood means strong nerves,
good digestion, robust health. Impure
blood means scrofula, dyspepsia, rheuma
tism, catarrh or other diseases. The surest
way to have good blood is to take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. This medicine purifies, vi
talizes, and enriches the blood, and sends
the elements of health and strength to
every nerve, organ and tissue. It creates
a good appetite, gives refreshing sleep
and cures that tired feeling. Remember,

THE ROME TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBtR 15, 1898.
BUSY QUEEN VICTORIA.
Very Conscientious About Letter Writing.
How She Gets the Daily News.
Queen Victoria’s private letters num
ber many hundreds every year. She
writes to her numerous relatives, forget
ting no anniversary or occasion on which
a letter might be welcome. The London
Chronicle says that to the younger mem
bers of the royal family she never fails
to send birthday gifts, accompanied by
a few loving words of greeting. Every
day the birthday book is consulted—not
that birthday book in which singers,
actors and other personages are asked to
write, but that smaller volume reserved
for relatives and intimates. Then there
are numerous letters of a semiprivate
nature which are written by the queen
herself—letters of condolence, letters of
congratulation to brides who have been
connected with the court, letters to for
eign monarchs. Besides all these epis
tles, written in the blackest of ink on
paper slightly edged with black, there
are thousands which are penned by the
private secretary and his assistants.
The queen’s day begins early and ends
late. After breakfast—a meal which she
still enjoys eating in the open air when
possible—there are the newspapers and
private correspondence claiming atten
tion. With regard to the former, por
tions of The Times and other journals
are read aloud to the queen by a lady
specially appointed for this purpose.
Very rarely does the queen comment on
the news, except in the case of a calam
ity, when her sympathy is quickly ex
pressed in a telegram. Inaccuracy in an
important newspaper as to royal matters
gives the queen grave annoyance, and
The Chronicle’s writer has known an
official to call and complain of the mis
statement and demand a rectification.
Not long ago an illustrated London pa
per gave a picture in which her majesty
was represented as holding the arm of
her Indian attendant. Within a short
space of time a member of the royal
household called on the editor to state
the absurdity of such an error. “The
queen is much annoyed at this mistake
on the part of your artist, as it might
give grievous offense to important per
sons in India. She could never take the
arm of a servant.” This will show how
closely she watches even the pictorial
press. When a good illustration appears
of any state function, it is a common
incident for the artist to be requested
to visit the queen, very likely to receive
a commission.
RUSSIAN WOMEN.
Not Long Ago They Were Treated aa the
Turkish Women Are.
It is curious to think what a short
time it is since the emperors of Russia
treated their womankind in the same
way they are still treated in Turkey,
says a writer in the Montreal Star. In
those days the czar chose his wife from
among his subjects, and she was never
considered his equal. The matters were
arranged in this way—on a certain day
the nobles brought their young daugh
ters to be looked at, and she who took
the emperor’s fancy was forthwith cho
sen to be his wife.
The princesses were kept with the
same strictness as eastern princesses,
and marriage only changed their place
of residence,, but gave th§m no more
freedom. They were allowed occasional-'
ly to be present when guests were re
ceived, to whom they would hand a cup
of wine and then retire to their apart
ments, there being a snit of rooms at
the north side of the palace reserved es
pecially for them.
If they were ill, the room was dark
ened before the doctor was admitted,
and he was not even allowed to feel
their pulse, and when they drove out
the windows of their carriages had
drawn curtains.
The first czarina who emancipated
herself from this state of slavery, and
so instituted a new and happier era for
Russian women, was the beautiful Na
thalie Neryschki, the second wife of
Alexis Michaelovitch and the mother of
Peter the Great, and her first triumph
was when she obtained her husband’s
consent to drive with him in an open
carriage to the monastery of Troitzky, a
proceeding which at the time occasioned
a great scandal.
Naturally, when the Russian princes
began to intermarry with other Euro
pean royal families, they were obliged
to treat their wives differently, but it
was a long trine before the court of Rus
sia became as civilized as the rest of
Europe.
A Funny Eagle.
A Russian grand duke, one of the
czar’s predecessors, was once the guest
of a German prince. It was early in the
century. In Russia the imperial double
headed eagle is to be seen everywhere
and on everything throughout the em
pire, stamped, painted, embroidered or
sculptured. At that period the education
of grand dukes was somewhat limited.
This grand duke went out shooting in
Germany and, among other things, shot
a largo bird. He asked an experienced
huntsman who accompanied him what
the bird was. “An eagle, your high
ness,” was the answer. The grand duke
turned on him in an irritated way.
“How can it be an eagle,” he asked,
“when it has only one head?”—San
Francisco Argonaut.
The Heliotrope.
The heliotrope is an emblem ot devo
tion. This idea was probably suggested
by the curious habit presented by this
flower of turning its face toward the
sun. Moore's poetical lines about the
sunflower turning on her god where he
sets the same look that she turned when
ho rose is not founded oufuct. The sun
flower is not a heliotrope and does not
turn to face the sun.
