control them. The testimony of our best citt-
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consump-
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
ly known, SO remarkable as hardly to be be-
lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
As remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, 1t saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected Ten
der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. AS safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest of childhood, CHERRY PEcroRAL
Is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
tudes are rescued from premature graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
full Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborous, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

good harness could be bought in this

we wish to add that j. M. Heard, is
not only manufacturing the very best
styles of harness in the market but is
also selling at very low rates. He en-
ployes none but first class workmen;
uses the very best stock, and guarantees
his work to be as represented. Last
week Mr.. Heard sent A. s. Scribner, of
Brookville, set of gig-saddle harness
got up In the latest style, with two inch

tasty. 1t must be that Mr.. Heard

CHANGE or PofIcr IN JAFAS-We have IL both

that political affairs have takeH a sharp turn against

Japan he has no more right TO protest against being
discharged on account OF political changes than he
would have in Egypt or his own country. Ii is not
stranger that there shoald be political revolutions
in Japan than in the United States or England. Nor
have we any better ground Of complaint against
Japan il the retroEressists obtain power and refuse
to encourage trade and international courtesies,
than We should have against England In case the
Tories carry the Parliamentary elections and secure
n ministry that will refuse the Geneva arbitration.
These are our risks, and not merely the cccentrici-
ties OF japanese politics distinguished from the pol
itics of other nations. We have probably been
promising ourselves too much from the first ebulli-
tions OF the spirit Of progress in Japan. aud have

The N. Y. Tr1Bune's London correspondent
noting the arrival Of Senator Sumner in that city,
says:
Between the Mr.. Sumner whom 1 saw last
year in Washington and the Mr.. Sumner whom i
saw to-day in London there is n painful contrast.
Yet the malady from which he is suffering is not
one to set in a moment or in a few weeks many
outward marks upon n frame so powerful as his.
You have correctly described it as the sequel of
the spinal disease which resulted from the blows
of Preston Brooks. An injury to the spinal cord
is, in fact, an injury to the whole system, and
there is no organ which may not subsequently be
the seat of symptoms which seem to be perfectly
abnormal, and which can be assigned to no other
cause than the original injury. In Mr.. Summers
case, it is the heart which has been reached, and
the present attack is simply a recurrence Of the
symptoms which alarmed bis friends two years
ago, and which at that time Frustrated and tenn
porarily disabled him, and threatened the most
serious consequences. The physician in attend
ance upon Mr.. Sumner said that in his experience
he had never seen such suffering, and that he
could compare it to nothing but the pain endured
under the knife of the surgeon in operations Of
the gravest character.

Rather an interesting person died last month in
France. 1t was Madame Ulriche dc Beaugo, who
was lady Of honor TO Maria Antoinctte before the
Revolution. She was in attendance on the Queen
Mt the time of the dreadful Tenth Of August,
1899, when the Tuileries was stormed and the
royal family made prisoners. She was arrested
with them, but had the good fortune to escape
the guillotine. We presume she resumed her at
tendance on her royal mistress. as it is recorded
that she accompanied her to the scaiIold in Octo-
Der. 1898; after which she went into retirement,
from which she never emerged during the long re-
mainder of her life. She was in herlbundred and
second year; so that she must have been eighteen
ut the beginning Of the Revolution and twenty
two at the execution Of Maria and Antoinette.
1t almost makes one giddy TO think of the whirl
of events which this venerable dame had .seen
pass before her, through the l~oopholes of her
retreat. Beginning life in the dead calm which
preceded the Revolutionary tempest, she had
beheld the States General, the destruction of the
Bastile, the flight to Varennes, the Convention,
the Reign of Terror, the Directory, the 18th
Brumaire, the Consulship, the Empire, the Re-
storation, the Hundred Days, Louis XVIII,
Charles Y, the Three Days OF July, Louis Phil
lippe, the Revolution OF l848, the Republic, the
Coup d'Etdt and the bastard Second Empire, the
German Conquest, the Commune, the Pacfe de
Bordeaux and NJ. Theirs Republic! Few lives
have covered and witnessed such various history
and so amazing as hers.

WEARING EACH OTHER's CLoTHEs.-At the great
court dinner on the 9th Of September, at Berlin,
. them Kings" got awfully mixed. The Emperor
of Austria wore a Russian uniform and a Prus-
sian order. the Emperor Alexander wore a Prus-
sian uniform and an Austrian order, and the
Emperor William an Austrian uniform with the
Russian order Of st. Andrew. No two Emperors,
it will be observed, were dressed alike, and all
three had dipped into each others wardrobe.
Probably we shall next hear Of the Emperor of
Austria in a Prussian uniform with a Russian
order, the Emperor Alexander in an Austrian
uniform with a Prussian order, and the Emperor
William in a Russian uniform with an Austrian
order. 1t would require a ~fatiguing amount OF
arithmeticaI knowledge to calculate the various
changes their Majesties will be able to bring on
the common wardrobes they have thus pleasantly
established, but we may take it for granted that
this interchange of clothing augurs well for the
peace of Europe; at all events it is quito imPos>
sible that war could be declared until each En-
peror had retired to his own dressing-roOm and
put on his proper habiliments. A sudden appeal
TO arms when the Emperors were dressed in the
wrong uniforms would lead to such serious COM
pIications that even Prince Bismarck himself
would shrink from creating tho confagration.

The World has a long letter from Berlin as
Stunning to give the substance of n conversation
with Bismarck regarding his policy Of e~xpelling
the Jesuits. The pith of Bismarck's alleged
assertion is that the people Of Germany demand
this move, and the Government is conceding as
little persecution of Jesuits as possible in the
face of strong party passions. The Worlds

singing, music, telling stories, and drinking
champagne. One of his right-hand men-he has
a number Of right-hand men-is an excellent
singer and player on the piano, and when he is
present Bismarck keeps him very busy. These
symposia seldom end until after daylight. They
never end until the Prince is drowsy. When he
arrives at a condition in which he Eancies that it
may be possible to obtain a few moments sleep,
he dismisses every one, and hastens to lie down.
But, too often, scarcely has his head touched the
pillow ere he finds himself wide awake again,
and if this occurs, all hope of obtaining sleep
until the next day Is abandoned"
