How Fat can a Person Become ?

Mirabeau, alluding to very corpulent per-
son, said, He has only been created to
to show to what extent the human skin
would stretch without bursting
Then, corpulence was believed to be nGtatr-
al condition; now, it is hnoaon to be dis
ease. Hundreds who had considered
themselves useless for, life, by reason Of
too much fat, have, by the use Of AlIan's
Anti-Fat, been reduced to a healthy and
natural size. This great remedy for cor.
pulence is purely vegetable and perfectly
harmless. 1t acts on the food in the
stomach, preventing its being converted
into fat. It cures Indigestion and tones
up the system. Sold by druggists.

that he will run as well in Orle county Gin

The Children's Paradise.


If you should start from Boston and go
west more than half way round the world,
you would come to Japan. Travellers
it saying that japanese children never
cry. Perhaps you can guess why they
are so happy it tell you some things |
noticed very soon after going there.
The climate is beautiful, the scenery
brilliant and varied. The houses are
low and safe; and they have no furniture
in them TO be harmed or broken, no hard
surface or sharp corners TO inflict bumps
and bruises.
The doors and windows are made of
paper Soft mats OF rice straw serve for
carpets; soft cotton mattresses for beds,
which can be rolled up and put away.
At meals, straw table-cloths are laid on
mats, and all the family sit on the floor
around them How like picnic
The dress OF the children Is like that
of their elders "a plain loose garment,
girded about the waist with sash, There
are no hooks to pull out, no buttons to
dro, off, and no pins TO scratch; a strong
silk cord does ali the fastening.
Then the garments, instead of being
sewed together ike ours, are basted to-
gether with strong silk thread, so that
they can be easily taken TO pieces for
washing. Stockings are made with a place
for the big toe, like the thumb In our
mittens A kind of clog is worn in the
streets. Pockets are put in the large
sleeves. Handkerchiefs and napkins are
made of thin white paper, soft as silk.
The sliding doors and partitions in the
houses are almost always pushed back,
so that you can see and hear all that is
going on. Many house has an aquari-
UNI, with gold and silver fish, or bamboo
cages in which beds OF flowers make a
home for numerous butterflies and grass
hoppers.
Mothers play with their children much
of the time. Fat little dogs and pretty
cats are their companions too. Babies
are carried upon the back, and are never
afraid offalling. Everywhere their sha
ven heads and black eyes peep out of
folds of garments, or sleepily bob up
and down, as their nurses rush 20 and fro
in the excitement of kite-fyia., or other
play. Japan is the land of toys and dolls
and kites and fans and parasols. A little
girl will sometimes have over one humid
red dolls.
The children have much rice to eat,
but hardly any milk, for the queer little
COWS do not give much. Fruit is eaten
green, for it is thought unfit to eat when
soft ana mellow.
The flowers of Japan have no odor,
and the birds do not sing. The stork is
one of the favorite birds.
The golden globe Gnstead of stars and
stripes) is the flag that floats over Japan,
and the chrysanthemum is the national
emblem. 1t is wrought in tiles for roofs,
on opium pipes, on earthen-ware and on
many other things.-Nursery,
