The czar was liu pressed by the fact that even - re-.-iHientiil hand iu Berlin and Vienna snrvtwi him by playing the national liyiun <>f their own country.and this was apologized for by the known absence of npy recognized national hymn in the great empire which lie ruled. Nicholas was much impressed by the deficiency, and during bis Tetnrn jonr- ney toward St. Petersburg had much talk with Lnoff upon the subject, and at last ordered him to compose a hymn for the Russian military bands Lnoff here- njsin set music to Schulowsky’s "God Be the Czar's Protector." The Schnlow sky-Lnoff hymn was first played pub licly before the czar on Nov. 28. 1888. and so pleased the sovereign that by a ukase of Dec. 4 of the same year he or dered it to lie adopted as the national hymn of Russia.

One of the best of all authorities on wealth, a gentleman who has undoubt edly robbed shoulders familiarly with a greater nnuiber of millionaires than any other person living or dead, remarked to me that he was sore that Cornelias Van- derbilt bad a larger fortune than any other tenant of this planet. Re was entirely familiar with the riches of the Rothschilds, and knew some of them personally. None of them could match Mr. Vanderbilt in plethora of millions. The scores of millions of Jay Gould and John D, Rockefeller did not equal Cornelius Vanderbilt's possessions. This gentleman, however, did not credit the estimate of John D.

This disorder of the system does not always manifest itself outwardly by tores, eruptions, eta, qtdte> often the soredess Is altogether internal.

It Is mueb more serious for blood poison to manifest it, self Internally than externally. In auoh oases neglect means death, for the vital organa once contaminated grow worse unless they grow better, and they will never grow better unless the proper rem edy Is applied.
