A PHYSICIANS Testimony,

In the treatment of lung and bronchial
diseases the liver is often implicated to such
an extent that a hepatic remedy becomes
necessary in etfecting a cure of the lungs In
the treatment of such cases 1 prescribe Sim
mons Liver Regulator, prepared by J. H.
Zeilin 81 Co., with entire satisfaction. I
find that it acts mildly but effectually in
regulating the secretions of the liver, stom-
ach and bowels.

guaranteed and offered these states by our
country In all matters affecting their com
mercc for so many years, 1t may he styled
cheeky, at least, for any of them to think of
arbitration without including the United
States. Ii will not be permitted, of course,
but there is evidently some milk in the CO.
coanut. In this connection the name of NJ.
dc Iesseps comes to the surface. We learn
that, so far as NJ. de Lcsscps and his friends
are concerned the interest taken by them in
promoting the reference TO Europe of the
boundary question between Costa Rica and
Colombia is understood to have originated
in their desire TO consolidate European in
6ucnce us against American influence over
the United States of Colombia 1t has been
given out in Paris that both the King of
the Belgians and the cX-Queen Isabella of
Spain. the mother of King Alfonso, have
taken large pccuniary interest in the
Panama Canal stock of NJ. de Lcsscps. 1t is
well known that the Government of the
United States of Colombia chiefly depends
for its revenue upon the payments made to
it by the Panama Railroad Company, and
should the purchase of the Panama Railroad
by the French Canal Company be consum-
mated, that company would virtually con-
troll the Colombian Government.

NEATLY A QUARTER of a yard square of
original Rafael is said to have been discov-
cred recently in Illinois, at village named
Ayon, in the possession of a French family.
Now that town will he regularly set up, for
there is absolutely nothing equal in clcvat-
ing force to the possession of bit of gcnu-
inc art at least four hundred years old, and
IN new corn country the effect is felt at
its greatest intensity. Along the Atlantic
coast we have been a little seasoned to the
great masters ny the illustrated story pat
pers There is a special grade of sensational
novelist that maintains constant supply
of original Titians, Rembants and Rubenscs
to glare down from the walls of tumble
down ancient residences upon the murders
and love-making that transpire within the
fated walls. A severe course of this litcra-
ture, verified by accompanying wood-cuts,
has prepared the general reader TO accept
the fact that large lot sf "od masters" is
lying loose around the country, and the
strong proof of a quarter of yard square of
the genuine article will be very welcome as
II solid nucleus around which may gather
the large quantity of nebulous belief already
existing.

JUST WHAT form of mental, moral or
physical dynamite should be found rcqui-
site to make the first real impression upon
the solid mass of Chinese conservatism has
long been u problem, The railroad, which
has worked well and to the same purpose in
other lands, has failed there ignominiOusly
because it disturbs the reyercd dust Of the
dead dynasties. The telegraph has, how
ever, suddenly loomed up as the possible
combustiblc. The Chinese like it, the
speedy communication is needed through
their vast territory, and the mechanical in
genuity suits the national taste to st.
though that phrase is probably not permit
ted by the Cclestials. If the children
of the East take TO clamOring for
kilograms as Western babies cry for
patent medicines, the end is near.
The Chinese language or rather its anti
quated humbug of an alphabet, will not
work with the telegraph, and the slow old
system of twenty-five thousand symbols or
Mreess will be just practically chewed up by
ghs fns5 n&sl Of lightning that tries to dis
pa.ap la eVeF tGie wires.
