remember wildly my first call and sub
sequent visits at gentleman's house in
Fukui and the contrast. On first entering
his zashiki, or parlor, despite its neatness, the
delicious Echizent tea served with exquisite
grace by his pretty daughters, and the cle-
giant dress and manners OF all present, my
amAzement at the baroness and seeming pow
erty was favored with mild disgust On a
subsequent visit, after tea, the talk ran on
art. Presto the black eyes CLEANED, and
the hosts hands were clapped you would

The servant. responsive TO tho hand clap
in lieu Of bell, was given tho storehouso
key, and then disappeared. Soon the mat
floor was piled and Uttered with box, roll,
bag and case. Out of yellow muslin wrap
pings, sillten napkins, gold brocade bags and
Grape cloths, issued gems of art, in gold,
ivory, crystal, lacquer, porcelain and bronze
that made me wild with delight,
The operation of getting out some of the
hosts special treasures reminded mo of the
process of unwTapping a mummy. One ar
tcle, with apparently as many skins as prop
erly belonged to an onion, was finally resur-
rected from its sacred darkness, and with
amazing reverence lald on the ual, or stand.

ago, but who has been practicing in Iowa for
a great many years, Il remember one night

sand years old. was young fellow and
had just begun to study medicine, One even
ing DR.. Freer asked me if | would like to go
out with him that night, and | said | would.
About midnight we accordingly went to
saloon on North Clark street-COnleys, If
remember right-and got a good supper.
Then we started away in the doctors chaise,
one of those old fashioned, jigglety jogglety
things, and finally came to the city GENE
terry After awhile we started for Rush Med
ical college, then on tho north side, with the
corpse sitting up between us on the seat, The
old chaiso joggled SO that we both had to put
our arms around the corpse to keep it from
falling over When we reached the college
we drove into the alley at the south of it and
bundled the body into the shaft, whence it
was to be hauled up to the dissecting room.
1.-THE doctor and | parted then, agreeing
to meet at the college at 10 O'Clock that
morning to give the body the necessary in
lection | went into the shaft below and
made the body fast to one end of the rope
which hung down from pulley, and the
doctor, on the floor above, hauled away on
the other end When about half way up the
body stuck and went up and afterla good
deal of tuggng managed to loosen it, Final
ly, when we had drawn it to the dissecting
room and ripped open the sack in which it
was confined, we found it was the body of
man who had died in the continent stage of
small pox What did wG-dos What could
we dol We buried the body that night in an
orchard on the west side, and the doctor took
his chaise off into the country and left it to
stand out all winter where nobody would go
near it. That was my first experience in go
ing out with doctor, and | don't think
shall forget it."-Chicago News,

hulNoT argus
RoCL ISLAND, Feb. col wish to ask
the attention of the city marshal and the
mayor in relation to the Union street
railway running at the dangerous rate of
speed they d0-more than fifteen to
eighteen miles per hour-and the city
, ordinance prohibits them from running
more than four Why don't the city
marshal and the police arrest the engineer
and have him fined for violating the city
ordinance Why not arrest some of these
engineers on the Union line and have
them fined. When the street car line
was built they said that they would have
noIseless motors; but they make more
noise than all the railroads running into
the city. 1t is not right for the tax
payers to be imposed upon in this way
There ought to be an ordinance prohibit
ing the motor to run on this side of
Elm street. 1t is not as hard on the
horses to hsul a car from Twenty. fourth
street to Elm, as il is for the Moline ,SRock
Island line to haul II car from the bridge at
Brook S crossing up to Brooks residence:
II is dangerous for the motors to run at
such a rate of speed. Mothers can not
watch the little ones all the time. They
will run on the street and she can not be
running after them ell the time | saw
lady and gentleman waiting for the car,
and the motor came along and they tried
10 stop, and they ran almost block be
fore succeeding and they had to back up
and let the passengers on. What if there
were few children on the track then,
and they tried to stop at that time? OF
course they would have been killed, and
then there would be a law suit. | think
that it is time for the city fathers to stop
this wild and careless running, and to
pass au ordinance not allow the motors to
run on this side of Elm street

assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exudng an offensive mass Of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intOlerabe to endure. II is impossible
to fully describe my suiierings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery having been treated by
three physicians, | was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of w j.
lIuntley druggist, of Lockport, was induced
To try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptons have
entirely ceased, ana the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly sears, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less / do not know what II may

my case Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
