Next to the bowels, or rather in conjunction
with them, the kidneys and Bladder are the
most important scavengers Of the system. They
purify the blood and carry off it's refuse, pre-
venting rheumatism, dropsy, Bright's disease
and diabetes by their active cleansing work.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, when the kidneys
evince a tendency to relax the activity of their
important function, renews it, and thus averts
renal maladies, the most difficult to cope with;
and which superinduce a frightful loss of bodily
tissue, stamina and flesh. When the renal or
gans exhibit the slightest symptoms of i~naction,
they should at once receive the stimulus from
this safest, surest and pleasantest of diuretics.
Chins and fever, dyspepsia, constipation, liver
complaint and debility are also remedied by it.

only one in the world. There are q
great many embroidered dresses and a
deal OF knitting and cewel work. Dou-
pie chain stitch seems to have been as
familiar to the Egyptian seamstresses,
sewing with bone needles, as it is to
modern women. There are some very
quaint and unusual designs in the old
collection of cloths, but there are also
some very common things. 1t is cur
ious to find that the common blue
check pattern of fine busters and work
mouse aprons was in general use among
the Egyptians more than a thousand

ploring the engine-room betook our
selves to where the woodwork was in

wood, about sixteen inches in diameter
by perhaps five in thickness. This
wood was hard and ''soft'' maple
and pine. These are put into d revolv-
ing machine which strips them of their
bark they are then sent up to the first
floor. Here they are again put into
another revolving machine which cuts
them into small strips, which are then
cut into the required shape for tooth
picks, The picks are dropped out
at one side, while the refuse falls from
the other into a small shaft and is car
ried down to the basement and subse-
quentlv used for firing. Some are
round, some are square. This little
machine which makes them, appears
simple enough to the animated. but in
reality is quite complicated, containing,
we are informed, several hundred
knives, These small articles of after
dinner service are then taken up to the
second story, where they are kept in a
heated room until sufficiently dry for

OF small feet and pigtails it is not
necessary to say much. Both are con-
sidered ornaments in their way, and a
nation whose sons wear bell-toppers,
and whose daughters go in for a variety
of distortions, must be chary of criti-
cising other peoples peculiarities.
Pigtails. it may not be generally
known. are not in their origin Chinese
When the present rulers of China, who
are Manchus, seized upon the empire
over two centuries ago, they issued an
edict commanding all Chinese to shave
their heads and grow a tail like them
selves. There was a good deal OF
trouble at first in enforcing such an
order. but the Chinese have long ago
forgotten that the appendage of which
they are so proud is badge of con-
quest 1t would be hard to find any
where more submissive subject or
more thoroughly good-natured be-
ing than the Chinese peasant. His
hard struggle for existence scarcely
leaves him time to grumble
with his lot. No mechanical
inventions have yet relieved him
from the burden of toll. His rice
fields have to be irrigated by the old
fashioned water-wheel, the fields them
selves are plowed by primitive wooden
plow which he carries home on his
shoulder when his DAYS work is over.
and his crop is reaped with the rudeSt
of Sickles, and brought to the stack
ward on wheelbarrowS. Night and
morning he worShips the tablets of his
ancestors, and twice in the year-once
i'll spring and once in autumn-he re-
pairs to the graves of his family,
and cOmmunes in spirit with the fore
fathers of his race. His knowledge of
the world extends only to the next
market town. No newspaper brings
him intelligence from other lands, and
to him China is the first and the only
nation in existence. All other countries
are subordinate to the Emperor OF
China, and all the Princes of the
earth owe allegiance to the court of
Peking. Tell an ordinary countryman
in the North that there are nations
in Europe independent of China, and
he smiles at your thinking him so in
nocent as TO believe such a story.
Peking itself still remains the head
quarters of Celestial ignorance and
prejudice. Nearly every state in Eu-
rope has its representative there, and
in the streets you meet jolly, broad

bleak North. stately yellow-robed
Lamas from Thibet, the puny white

ute to the Lord of all under Heaven"
