If it is right to repudiate the law

demand Then let the taxpayers

Not symptoms, put the Disease.

Ii would seem TO be Il truth appreciable by
all, and especially by professors of the heal

A Japanese Railway.

Our fellow passengers are well worth
studying. First come the men Of bus
mess going to Yokohama, as is their
laily custom. These men are dressed
IN foreign clothes, and many Of them
understand some foreign language,
English or German. They are mostly
an intelligent looking group Of men.
Besides these somewhat foreigniZed
natives, we have the real genuine
native article, with nothing foreign
about him excepting his hat. Hats are
very generally worn, unless iii is a rainy
day, when they are left at home and
the Wearer goes bareheaded. The Japs
are peculiar. On a cold, rainy day
they go. about with their skirts caught
up to their waists, and the water all
streaming down their bare legs. Their
dress must be saved, ever at. the cost
of some personal inconvenience. In
the car we can see this native dress; a
loose robe with no buttons, but folded
owe the breast and fastened with a
sash. This is the dress of the men as
well as of the women. Some of the
dresses are very rich indeed, being
made of beautiful silk. One-half is
longer than the other, which allows
for being pulled up above the sash. and
then hanging down in front making
a pouch. This is the pocket where
nearly everything is carried. At the
bottoms of the large, square sleeve
there are pockets also. Suspended
from the sash is a little box and a
leather wallet. Sometimes these arti-
=cles sre exquisite and very costly. The
box contains the tobocco pipe and the
wallet contains the tobacco. The box
is frequently made Of ivory or bronze,
finely worked. japanese tobacco is
very mild. The average American
would disdain to use it. Mild as it is
but little Is consumed at one time.
The whole amount of tobacco imbibed
would not be equal to one puff of a
strong cigar. But the almost universal
practice here is to draw all the smoke
up, expelling it from the nostrils in
stead of from the lips. Women smoke
a. well as men.

Romance of the Jasmine.

It is always pleasant to associate a
romance with afavorite flower. The
story of the cultivation of the jasmine,
with its delicate yellow flowers and
delightful odor, in France, as told by
the New York Nail, deserves to be
remembered. The Duke of Tuscany,
it is said, had brought one plant with
him from the tropical countries he
visited, and placed it, with many in
functions for its careful tendance, in
the hands of his gardener, intending to
present it as an offering to the prin-
cess Of France. The gardener had a
sweetheart, and, wishing to please her,
he one day broke off a slip Of the cher
ished plant, and offered il. to her. She
planted it, hoping thus to preserve it
for her Wedding-day, and to her &C.
light it took root, throve, and grew into
a stately bush, from. which she ga
thered flowers salabIe for their rarity
and SO accumulated a sum of money
which facilitated her marriage. 70
this day, the maidens Of Tuscany wear
a sprig Of jasmine, in token that they
can bring a lucky dover to the mai Of
their choice.

CLIPPINGS -E0R THE CURIOUS.

Naugatuck, Conn.,, boasts a wild
apple tree that has a currant branch
growing from a limb full fifteen feet
from the ground. It is said to bear
currants every year.
According to a writer in Saratoga,
n OF the most notable visitors at
that resort this season was a bride,
who was accompanied in her walks
for exercise On the hotel piazza by a
b~lack-and-tan dog that wore two-thou-
s~and-dollar diamond rings in its prec-
ious ears.
A Japanese girl who wants a hus-
band combs her hair forward, and
makes it up into the shape of a fan or
a butterfly, and at the same time deco
rates it with a silver cord and balls of

around a tortoise-sheI pin at the back
of her head.

These remarkable items pour into our Office

in my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder.
suffered intense Pain in the kidneys and
loins, and urination was accomplished with
the greatest of agony. My friends thought
that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicine, and although better at times
she would grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the urinal as many IS fifteen times in
a night, and was growing wo'se daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunts
Remedy, and I concluded to try it: and after
using one bottle she was a good deal better,
the Inflammation was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began to gain in appetite
and fe,t no pain in the back and kidneys.
She could attend to her household work
without pain, ard this had been a great
burden to do, even the lightest kind of work.
After using six Eottles she was completely
cured. Since then I have had occasion to
use Hunts Remedy for kidney and liver COM
plants, and found it to be Just as represented,
and I consider it a most wonderf Il medicine.
I would not be without Hunts Remedy in
my family; and I have recommended it to
my friends here in Orange with equally good
results"
