SECRET OF A GREAT RIVER

The of the Brahmaputra-An
Explorer In Disguise.
Descending from the Himalaya mount
aims and flowing for nearly 1000 miles
along the southern border OF Thibet Is
the river Sanpo, which has been the sub
ject of more geographical controversy
than any other river in the world. No
body has known whether this large river
was the headwaters Of the Brahmaputra
and reached the sea through India, or
whether it fed Irawady and flowed
through Burmah. Most ~geographers
have been disposed to identify it with
the Brahmnputra, but as late as January
last year. Mr.. Robert Gordon, the leading
authority on the photography of the
Irawady, reada paper in London to show
that the Sanpo must be tributary TO the
Burmese river.
In the southeast corner of Thibet is Il
region marked on some maps as ~The
Country Of Robber and Wild Tribes.
These tribes have guarded the secret of
the Sanpo. No explorer, white or In
dian, has ever penetrated their country.
The last to try it was the now famous
traveller, Ak, who had to turn back
three years ago from the threshold OF
the dreaded Mishmi country. The Mish-
mis- are still unvisited, but the secret OF
the Sanpo has been solved beyond doubt.
II is identical with the Dihong, the
north Brahmnputra, and is thus the head
waters of that Indian river.
Not far from the southern edge of
Thibet a river coming from the east
unites with the Dihong TO form the
Brahmaputra. Messrs. Needham and
Wordsworth fifteen months ago followed
this branch far east until their explora-
tons joined those of Ak. proving that
the river was identical with the Zayul
Chu, whose upper course he had
thoroughly explored. The Zayul Chu is
maputra, instead of an afluent Of tho
Irawady, as Mr.. Gordon and some Chi
nese geograpers have believed.
The Zayul Chu having now been as
cended east and northeast for several
hundred miles to its sources, it is certain
that the Sanpo can not Join the Irawady
unless il either burrows under the Zayul
Chu or takes a flying leap over 1t. 1t is
thus proved beyond a doubt that the
Sanpo is identical with the northern
hianch of the Brahmaputra. Another
geographical mystery has passed into the
realm of a%scertained fact.
The explorer Ak is so called because
the names of the travellers in the employ
Of the Indian government are not pub
lished until after they quit the service.
Ak Travelled in the guise of a mer-
chant, and if his real character became
known in many regions north Of India
his usefulness as an explorer would be
destroyed.-New York Sun.

months of disillusion.

WHY rs IT


That rheumatism and neuralgia are sc
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land Is the victim of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form Of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant oc-
currence. Not until the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
coded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved TO be not only certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but a safe remedy. II, in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found TO be valuable
and to the action of the medicine. Athlo-
Phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonderfu efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as a remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing dis eases. They have
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from yitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases of women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
be safely used hy adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
cured will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep hthlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not lie bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros Co, 1l2 Wall St. New York. will
send either carriage paid on receipt of
regular price, which is 500 per bottle

Helen Hunt Jackson's sensitiveness.

Helen Hunt Jackson's Sensitiveness.
No one loved beauty more than she; no
one could depreciate the body more when it
began to lose its freshness For strong
young men in their prime, for blooming girls
and mature womanhood, she had an admira-
ton as frank and almost as unqualified as a
Greeks But her very alteration of physical
,ovelness made her peculiarly sensitive to
mperfection and the dismal Accomplishments
of sickness. In her own case, when accident
brought infirmity upon her, it was received
at first with shudder of disgust, a kind of
quick impulsive scorn, of which, perhaps,
only noble natures are capable. She spoke of
her illness as "a career of disgrace" 1t was
not, probably, for the loss of creature com
forts, nor even the long train of Affections
which it entailed; these she could endure;
they proved, in fact, a field for the exercise
of fortitude which was little short of heroic.
Health meant liberty, its loss an endless
series of restrictions affecting her activity
and the free play of her intelligence. She
resented them as something outside of her
self, which deserved only contempt and
chastising. Her soul, she thought could lift
itself above them--was above them
Throughout her sufferings, she kept her
sunniness of spirit, her serenity and elias
sicity And she continued to work This, in
Iced, was an integral part of her creed. To
oilers and dilettanti she had always turned a
cold shoulder; they had no place in her
scheme of things. If her antipathy assumed
at times n humorous form, it was none the
tess real and deep seated. 1t would have
gratifed the most rigid economist to have
heard her set forth this thesis of life as q
period of active production. She rejoiced to
call herself, and he called, a working woman;
there was no better title under heaven to her
sense, and her life was a long enforcement of
the belief, a fruitful Illustration of how it
could he practiced with dignity and success.
