DIR. RobAr, Hunter.

No living physician has done more than
DIR. Robert Hunter, formerly of New York, TO
bring all diseases of the lungs and air pas
sages within the category OF durable maladies.
No one has done so much to enlighten the
public as TO the real cause and cure of those
diseases. In his Monthly Journar-in sew.
eral Treatises--and through series of letters
published in many of the leading papers, DIR.
Hunter has, during the last twenty five years,
thrown flood of light on the nature and
proper treatment of Catarrh, Consumption,
Bronchitis, Asthma, etc, and forced
upon the profession tacit abandon
ment of the old and everfailiug routine
practice of dosing the stomach 10 reach the
lungs. DR.. Hunter first introduced the
treatment by iuhalation-or inhaling proper
remedies into the lungs-as scientific method
of practice a.quarter of a century since, and
has had an extent of experience and success
uneuualed by any other In his specially. In
every quarter Of the country can be found
those who will attest TO his success in treat
ing those diseases previously considered as
incurable.
DIR. Hunter has now opened a permanent
Office in Chicago, and may be consulted per
sonally or by letter. His Office and address is
Lakeside Building, corner Of Adams and
Clark streets, Chicago, Ill.

The /" Crying DOLL"

Somebody gave Thomas Cooley's sister
"crying doll" on Christmas and Thorn
as found much satisfaction in punching
it in the stomach so that it would
squeak. Arguing from his experience
with the doll he concluded that his baby
brother might be made to produce noise
by the same process. So the first time
he found himself alone in the room with
the child he went up to it and gave II
terrific dig in the abdomen. AS this
knocked the breath out OF the baby II
did not cry; and so Thomas placed both
elbows upon the child and pushed three
or four times with considerable violence.
Still it was silent Then Thomas climbed
into the cradle and seating himself upon
the baby jumped up and down often
enough to produce music for any doii
baby that was properly constructed. In
the midst of the exercises he heard bis
me Their coming and knocked of, with the
intention of resuming his experiments al
some future time. But he never will re-
sumo them usless the little one has
stomach in heaven. For Thomas Cooley's
baby brother is an angel now.-Hd1

vations, however, it appears that the gen.
sral way suppliant approaches joss is
about like this: He brings his offering to
the altar and burns paper prayer, the
bell ringing and the drum beating mean
while to notify the deity to be on hand
and attend to business The worshiper
then takes in his hands two OF the blocks
alluded to, and, holding them above the
table, drops them. Joss by his divine
power turns the blocks, and if they fall
in certain POSITIONS joss whistle
petition is granted; if they fall in GER
tain other position the request is denied.
If the request is for information upon a
matter that can be answered by yes or
no, then one position indicates an affirm
alive answer and another position means
no. The numbered sticks alluded to are
drawn-or one is drawn-by the worship

fall. the spirit of Joss guiding his hand
in making the selection, or in picking up
fallen one, and the man then goes to
an adjoining room and takes from large
collection paper decree copied from
their books-abcat four inches square
bearing number corresponding to the
stick; and the decree is found generally
to be exactly suited to the devout disci.
Piles case. 1t about fills the bill every
time. No class of people in the world

their prayers than the Chinese; and

smoke offerings are presented here
One noticeable feature about this room
is that the drum is placed in hole in

into the larger room, SO that it may be
beaten in each apartment. On the right

to the Temple, or Joss-house, as it is
called, and our description gives view
of the most notable points. And with

Worshiper," it not being our purpose in
this connection to enter into any expla-
nation or discussion of the Chinese
religious faith or practice. We may add
in conclusion, however, that there is no
officiating priest resident in this city, but
on special occasions one or more come

The Specification of Finger Rings

Rings, which are now looked on merely as
ornaments, without meaning. except in the
cases of the wedding and engagement rings,
were formerly thought to be full of occult
significance. Certain stones represented vir.
tues, and others were famed for their magical
value. The Poles believe that each month of
the year is under the influence Of precious
stone, which exerts its power over the destiny
of any person born during the period of its
sway. 1t is, therefore, customary among
friends and lovers to make reciprocal pres
ents Of trinkets ornamented with the natal
stones. The following is the list of stones
peculiar to each month, with meanings !:
Jsnuary-garnet; consistency and fidelity.
Febrnary-amethyst sincerity. March
bloodslone; courage and presence OF mind.
Aprii-diamond; innocence. May-emerald;
success in love. Juue-agate; health and
long life. July-cornelian; contented mind.
August-sardouyx; conjugal felicity. Sep
temoer-chrysollte antidote against mad
ness. October-opal; hope. November
topaz; fidelity. Decembsr-turqu noise; fidelity.
