Malaria is an almost in
describable malady which
not even the most talented
physicians are able to faith
ON. Its cause is most fre-
quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. It
often affects the sufferer with
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow of his former self
Malaria once having laid its
hold upon the human frame, the
door Of the system is thrown open
to nervous diseases. The body
weak and enfeebled absopbs no
nourishment, but sabsisting upon
itself, the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions;
the liver becomes torpid, and other
organs falling to do their routine
work, speedily become disordesed,
and dissolution and death are apt
to ensue.
In addition to being a certain cure
for malaria and chills and fever,
Browns IRON BITTERs is highly
recommended for all diseases requir-
ing a certain and efficient tonic; es.
peciallyindigestion, dyspepsia, inter-
mittent fevers, want of appetite, loss
of strength, lack of energy, etc.

His Soul and His Silver

Your asking me how came to use it, re>
minds me OF the story of the scotchman who,
on his deathbed, after a life of meanness,
wanted TO make things all right with the Lord
by leaving some money to the kirkn
"'Will the Almighty pass me into heaven
If give 10000 pounds to the kirk, dye think?'
said he"
~ can't promise ye thot, mon,' answered
the minister. but advise ye to IIy the ex-
pertinent "
Laughing heartily at the story, Rev. F. E.
Osborne. OF No. 273 Ogden avenue, Jersey City
boNen, continued: That's what 1 did with
PARKER'S TONIC; tried the experiment. 1t
more than met my expectations, and am
very glad to testify to its excellence. 1t goes at
once to The root OF all digestive and nervous
arrangements so common among men of my
profession. For women and chronic invalids
the ToIic is q perfect iDvigorant, and is deS>
tined to supplsnt all other remedies for this
purpose. A single dose pro fuces the gentle
perspiration and sense of life which graduates
disease. l admire 1t. too for its power to am
tagonize the hold of the liquor habit over in>
ebriats."
This preparation, which has been known as
PARKER's GINGER Tonic, will hereafter be
called simply PARKER'S TONIC; as unprin>
clpled dealers are constantly deceiving their
customers with inferior articles under the
name of gnger. and as ginger is really an un>
important flavorins ingredient, we drop the
misleading word.
There will be no change, however in the
preparation itself, and all bottles in the hands
of dealers wrapped under the name OF PARS
KER's GINGER TONIC, contain the genuine
medicineif the fac-simile signature of HIsCoX
ii at the lotion OF the outside wrapper.

THE FOREIGN INFLUENCE.
Since Japan became accessible to the
nations of the world, she has made i'm
mense strides forward in the arts, sci
ences and manufacturers. Gradually the
influence of foreigners is shown in the
adoption of foreign clothes by many of
the people who mingle with those of
other countries. This, it is alleged. has
had deleterious effect on the health of
the people. Consumption has become
prevalent where it was never heard of,
and other diseases are increasing.
In all the cities there are now good
foreign hotels, with beds and foreign
victuas. The natives sleep on mats,
aud thick padded coverlets. American
and European vegetables have been in
troduced. and grow fine and large, with
delicious flavor. :
A railroad Is miles in length is in op-
GRAFTON in NiphOn, and one of 81 miles
i'll Gesso, the latter running frem YOka-
hama, the seaport, to Toxic, the capital.
One of these was built and equipped by
the EngllSh,and the other by Americans.
The latter equipment is more popular.
and the road cost much less, the English
having swindled the government out of
vast sums of money by means of its con
struction.
Glass is now made in the empire, and
nails which Mr.. Frazier pronounces su-
perior even to Wheeling nails, are turn.
ed out incredibly fast and cheap, all the
work being done by machinery, and the
iron being wrought. There is fine mint
at Osaka, and the Government has coin
ed some money for China The machi-
merry is largely from Germany. The

An Imnortant Case.

n. Y. Herald, October s.
The Supreme court of the United
States meets to day. IL is eXpec>
ted then, or. very soon after. TO hand
down its opinion on II of the most
important questions of constitution
al law raised i'll recent Years. The
question is whether the power of Il
State to tax corporations within its
limits is controlled by the fourteenth
amendment to the federal c2nSti5is
ton. .Ji
California made a distinction in
its tax laws between railroad prop
erty and the property of lndjvid>
uals. The companies claimed that
the discrimination against them
was prohibited by That clause of
the fourteenth amendment which
declares that no State shall deny
to any person Within its jurisdic
ton the equal protection OF the
laws This issue raised two i'm
portant qnestions-iirst, whether a
corporation is Il person" within the
meaning of the amendment: second,
whether the amendment was almed
against unjust indiscrimination in
taxation. The United S ates Cir
Quit Court III California, ini elabD-
rate opinions written by JUS ice
Field and Judge sawyer, decided
both of these points IN faycr OF the
companies;
The cause was argued before the
Supreme Court last December. The
difficulty of the problem may lie in
ferred from the fact that the Court,
after holding the matter undo. con.
sideration for six months, adjourned
without giving an opinion. The far
reaching effect of the expected do
cision is shown by the fact that the
principle affirmed Will apply TO all
corporations except municipal in
every State of the Union.

tonnage of vessels engaged in trade

of wheat alone a million of tons
from our Pacific States would pass
