Bick- nell,author of “Life in Tuileries Un- der the Second Em- pire,” . contributes am article to the eurrent Century on “Marie - Antoinette as Dauphine.” Miss Bicknell has avail- ed herself of new material from the state papers in Vienna. An interesting document from this source is the fol- lowing letter written by Marie-An- toinette to her mother, Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria: “Choisy, 12th July.—Madame my very dear Mother: I cannot express how much I am affected by your Ma- jesty’s kindness, and I protest that I have not yet received one of your dear letters without tears of regret filling my eyes at being parted from such a kind and tender mother; and although I am very happy here, I should earn- estly wish to return to see my dear, very dear family, if only for a short HMOs igs “We have been here since yesterday, and from one o’cleck in the afternoon, when We dine, till one in the morn- ing, we cannot return to our own apart- ments, which is very disagreeable to me. After dinner we have cards till six o’clock; then we go to the play till half-past nine; then supper; then cards again till one o’clock, sometimes even half-past one; only yesterday the King, seeing that I was tired out, kindly dis- missed me at eleven, to my very great satisfaction, and I slept very well till half-past ten. “Your Majesty is very kind to show So much interest in me, even to the extent of wishing for.an account of how I spend my time habitually, I will say, therefore, that I rise at ten o’elock, or nine, or half-past nine, and after dressing I say my prayers; then I breakfast, after which I go to my aunts’, where I usually meet the King. This lasts till half-past ten. At eleven I go to have my hair dressed. At noon the ‘Chambre’ is called, and any one of sufficient rank may come in. i. put, on my rouge and I wash my hands before everybody; then the gentlemen go out; the ladies stay, and I dress be- fore them. At twelve is mass: when the King is at Vezgailles I go to mass with him and my. husband and my aunts; if he is got there I go with Monsieur the Dauphin, but always at the same hour. After mass we dine to- gether before everybody, but it 1s over by half-past one, as we both eat quick- ly. I then go to Monsieur the Dauphin it he is busy, I return to my own dpartments, Where I read, I write, or jl work; for I am embroidering a vest for the King, which does not get on quickly; but I trust that, with God's ‘help, it will be finished in a few years (). At three I go to my aunts’, where the King usually comes at that time. At four the Abbe comes to me; at five the master for the harpsichord, or the singing-master, till six. At half-past six I generally go to my aunts’ wher I do not go ovt. You must krow thag my husband almost always ¢:iies with me to my aunts’. At seven, card-play- ing till nine; but when the weather is fine I go out, and then the card-play- ing takes place in my aunts’ apart- ments instead of mine. At nine, sup- per; when the King is absent my aunts come to take supper with us; if the King is there, we go to them | after supper, arid we wait for the King, who comes usually at a quarter before eleven; but I lie on a large sofa and sleep till his arrival; when he is not expected we go to bed at eleven. Such is my day. “I entreat you, my dear mother, to forgive me if my letter is too long; but my greatest pleasure is to be thus in communication with your Majesty. I ask pardon also for the blotted letter, but I have had to write two days run- ning at my toilet, having no other time at my disposal; and if I do not answer all questions exactly, I trust that your Majesty will make allow- ances for my having too obediently burned your letter. I must finish this, as I have to dress and to go to the King’s mass. I have the honor to be your Majesty’s most submissive daugh- ter, “MARIE-ANTOINETTE.” Strange Swiss Landsfide. A curious landslip occurred a few days ago in the village of Sattel, in Canton Schwyz. An inn situated by the side of a hill was carried, with- out sustaining any injury, thirty-five feet down the hillside, stopping just short of being precipitated into the River Steinen. The road in front of the house, the garden, and all the im- mediate surroundings of the inn’ are’ intact. By the house were two large elms, and even these have in no’ way suffered.

If a pound of. this thread were required it would oc- cupy spiders a full year to furnish it. author of this statement does not in- form us how long the thread would be, |. but it is safe to say that it would reach |’ several times around the universal world.

A Recent Discovery That Is Working Wonders. The most prevailing afflictions that for a century have been engaging the most scientific skill of the medical world are rheumatism, neuralgia, ca- tarrh, asthma, la grippe and their kin- dred ailments. The country is full of sufferers from these complaints. Al- though the most learned experts of the medical profession have labored for a century to produce a curative, until quite recently no. positive results were effected. To the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Co., 167-69 Dearborn street, Chi- eago, belongs the credit for having produced the new remedy. It is being. extensively. advertised under the trade mark of “Five Drops.” The trade mark is self-explantory. Five drops make a dose. The effect is mag- ical. In days gone by other alleged cures have been marketed with the promise to take effect in thirty days or more. Five Drops begins to cure at once. Immediate relief is felt. In order to more effectively advertise its merits the company Will for the next thirty days send out 100,000 of their sample bottles of this positive cure for 25 cents a bottle by mail pre- paid. Large bottle, 300 doses, $1 (for thirty days 3 bottles $2.50.) Those suf- fering should take immediate advant- age of this generous offer and write them to-day. IMPROVEMENTS COM- PLETED.
