A $5<L0j0 VASE.
Rmtiiheil liy a Urunkrn Man, But Pat
Together Again,
One of the famous and popular ex
hibits in the British museum is the
unique Portland vase. About ten
inches high, made of glhss of a won
derfully deep blue, ornamented in re
lief with a series of figures of opaque
white glass, it was found in a marble
sarcophagus under the Monte del
Grano, some two and a half miles from
Rome on the way to Frascati. For a
long time it was the chief ornament
of the great Barberini palace at Rome,
but toward the end of the eighteenth
century it was bought by Sir William
Hamilton, who in turn sold it to the
Duchess cf Portland in 1786, and by the
then Duke of Portland it was deposited
in the British museum in 1810. The
museur^ did not then occupy its pres
ent building, and in 1845, while it was
still in Montague house, the vase was
broken by an act of vandalism. A
man named William Lloyd, who was
employed in me museum, got urunn
one day in February of that year, and,
picking up a Babylonian stone which
lay on the ground, he hurled it at the
vase, which was placed under a glass
case. There was a crash, and the case
and the vase fell shattered to the
ground. • The museum authorities ap
proached the Duke of Portland with a
view to prosecuting the man, but, for
reasons of his own. the duke refused to
appear, and the only thing the museum
could do was to bring the culprit be
fore a magistrate on a charge of wan
tonly breaking the glass case. The
magistrate fined him a couple of
pounds, and the fine was considerately
paid by an old lady with more sym
pathy than sense, so that the man got
off scot free. The pieces were put to
gether again, and perhaps the romance
which has thus clustered around the
vase may have enhanced its value. It
Is estimated to be worth no less than
£ 10,000.—London Strand Magazine.

Gentlemen ■ — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you

About five years ago mv right ear begau to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without anv success, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected car would be lost forever.
I then saw vour advertisement accidentally in a New York i>aper. and ordered your treat
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours,
