THE GREAT REPUTATION
Which vEGETINE his attained in all parts Of the
country asa
Great and Good Medicine,


and the largest number of testimonials which are
been cured by its use, are conclusive proof Of its
great value. 1t is recommended by physicians
and apOthecarles As Bl0Od-Purifer and
Health-R estOrer, it has no equal.
vEGETINE is not prepared for o fancy drink
made from poor liquors, which debiltates the
system and tends to destroy health instead of
restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the
different complaints satisfactory to any reasOn-
able persons suffering from diseases that they
can be cured? Read the different testimonials
given, and no one can doubt. In many of these
cases the persons say that their pain and suffering
cannot be expressed, as in cases Of ScrOfula,
of corruption. ffVEGETINE will relieve pain,
cleanse, purify and cure such diseases, restoring
the patient to perfect health after trying different
physicians, many remedies, suffering for years,
Is Il not conclusive proof, if you q sufferer,
you can he cured? Why Is this medicine per-
forming such great cures? 1t works in the blood,
in the circulating fluid 1t can be truly called the
originates in the blood; and no medicine that
does not act directly upon it, to purify and reno
vate, has any just claim upon public attention
When the blood becomes lifeleSs and stagnant
either from change of weather or climate, want
of exercise irregular diet or from any other cause
the VEGETINE will renew the blood, carry of
the putrid humOrs, cleanse the stomach, regulate
the bowels and impart q tone Of vigor to the
whole body. The conviction is, in the public
mind US well rs in the medical profession, that
the remedies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom
are more safe, more successful in the cure Of
disease than mineral medicines. VEGETINE Is
composed of roots, banks and herbs. Ii is pleas

MIR. Acers will have quite little
town around the gas we'll in short

moved down and fixed up, and now the

The wolves carried off five pigs for
Mr.. Cook one night this week, and on
former occasions they had taken four
others, making nirO in all that they
have killed for him. Mr.. Cook raises
some of the finest breeds OF hogs, and the
wolves seem partial to this kind. Out
on the Marmaton sheep are reported as
being killed by them, and we would
suggest the propriety of regularly Or
ganized wolf hunt.

ETINE was strongly recommended to me BIZ
friend who had been much benefited BY its use
1 procured the article, and, after using several

which it is especially prepared; and would cheer
fully recommend it to those who feel that they
need something to restore it to perfect health.

Chinese Joss Houses.


Chinatown contains nine Joss houses.
the two largest being on Jackson and
Dupont streets. A Chinaman, if he be
good and religious one, on his arrival
in this country goes to the one where
he intends to worship and gives the
priest in attendance one dollar.
That small sum entities him to the
privilege of worshiping there at any
time he may see fit. Last Friday even
ing | paid visit to the one on Jack
son street. The temple was filled with
busy crowds of worshipers going and
coming every few minutes. Around
the room were placed gilt and tinsel
lanterns, carved dragons heads, Chi
nese battle axes, curiously contrived
figures painted in brilliant colors, idols
and waving banners. On a raised
platform at one end of the room the
Joss, wooden figure three feet high.
was standing surrounded by little wax
candles and sticks of burning incense.
Overhead Silken flags and banners.
stirred by the breeze that came in
through the half open windows, were
rustling mournfully to and fro. while
the wax candles burning dimly in diff
ferent parts of the room lent to the
scene wierd aspect. Is a Chinaman
in want Of advice, here is the place for
him to come. All that is required is
| four bits or one dollar, as the case NAV
| be, and he can learn what course to
| pursue or any question or difficulty
that may arise to perplex him in bust
ness or otherwise. On an altar in
| front of the Joss stand a number of
| deep wooden cups containing small
| slips of rattan, numbered and covered
with Chinese characters Before this
altar, the seeker for wisdom, chin
chins, drops on his knees and repeats
number of chants and prayers in a low
| tone of voice. Rising, he takes in his
hand one of the cups, shakes it, takes
| therefrom one of the slips and hands
| it to the priest, who retires with it
| into private Sanctum, and III a few
moments returns with the desired in
| formation or advice Ask one of these
poor deluded Celestials where the
priest gets his information and he will
tell you he does not know. Neverthe-
less, he always accepts what is told him
as gospel truth, and acts accordingly.
Behind the door / noticed a small,
misunderstanding idol. Asking China
man what it was, / was told: g Him
de debil; he heap bad man; keepee
him hind door SO he no hurtee any
one." What simple way to dispose
of his Satanic Majesty. Would that
he could be disposed of everywhere as
easily.-S0aa Francisco Cor. Detroit

The Age of a Tree in Its Time
Of Leafng.

EVERY one knows that very young
trees in nursery are apt to come rath-
er earlier into leaf than full-grown
trees of the species. But this is ex-
planned by the nearness to the ground
and consequent higher temperature.
The comparison should be made be-
tween the oldest available trees and
other well-developed trees of moderate
age. M. Alph De Candolle caused OBJ
servations of this kind to be made in
two old botanic gardens, namely, those
of Paris and Of Pisa; and the results
were negative-in the Paris cases no
difference; in the Pisa cases, an old
ginko and an old walnut tree leafed
earlier than young trees of the species,
while the old tree of horse-chestnut,
sophOra, linden and pGaOlOaOniG were
later than the young trees. A very
full series Of cases, of different spe-
cies, would be needed for the elimi-
nation of individual peculiarities, often
great in this respect. But NJ. De
CandOlle is able to refer to better data,
viz: to one case in which the date of
coming into leaf of a horse-chestnut
tree has been carefully recorded for
sixty-eight years and another for
fiftv-seven years, both at Geneva. Of
course any differences due to age
