was the promenade of the Prince, ami
death was the penalty tor trespissing
upon that portion or the land set aside
for royal recreation.
The Prince pried open one of the cases
with his spear. and found 1t filled with
large packages wrapped in brown paper.
His mouth watered, for he was hungry,
having eaten only couple of cocoanuts
and small pig for breakfast. Like the
children in the familiar Christmas poem,
Visions Of sugar -plums danced through his head
and he hurriedly tore off the wrapper of
one of the parcels. He gave one startled
glance at its contents, then emitted TN
unearthly yell and fed from the spot.

Breathing a silent prayer, he arose and
again approached the boxes. Long and

it, pressed it to his wildly beating heart,
and shouted:
Eureka! I have an idea for a Christ

ELOPEMENT
BY Il. c. RUNNER

On Christmas eve there was bal'

And heard the musics beat
And caught the culver Of the floor
Beneath the dancers feet
While song kno"
Said: cover the snow,
Over the snow and away,
There moon and sun
For what TO be done
Before the break OF DAY.
The MOONLIGHT fell as cold as sno"
On that grea, front of granite
A minute seemed to pass so slow
A lifetime could not span it.
But, after ALL the kindly moon
She sent them home at last
And none too sOOn-ah nom 100 sooA
saw them tripping past.
And then her carriage stops the way
My lady's blaz0ned carriage.
/ know twas only Yesterday
Her fathers second marriage.
And down the high stone step she goes,
And lackeys wait her there
o, winter winds O, winter SHOWS;
Have you seen one SO fair?
She steps toward the carriage door,
And then-a sudden flutter-
The footmen rainier father swore-
But she was in my cutter.
And up the road and up we flew,
And heard my ponies feet
Strike out tune more sweet ana new
Than any music's beat.
And up the snowy road we sweep,
And leave the town behind Us
The dancers sleep the tiddlers sleep
And never a man shall find us.
But up, upon the snow-clnd hill,
That mornings light makes red,
For fair or foul for good or i'll.
Two lovers shall be wed.
And song know
Says "Over the snow,
Over the snow and awayl
It's life ana a wife,
And a wife for life
Before the break Of day"

The Ounce of Prevention.

Under the above heading the New York
World Of Feb. 10th, contains ar editorial,
Of which the following are few extracts:
"Physicians and unprofessioHal men OF
sense agree that il people would take little
OF the pains TO prevent disease that thcy do
to have it cured that the civilized world
would be much less like a vast hospital than
1t is now = But the idea of a regular
and stated physical examination, even Of
persons who are apparently well, is an ex-
cellent one. The approaches of pulmonary
complaints, kidney troubles, and many OF
the other ills that flesh is heir to are so in
sidious as not to be apparent to their victim
In nothing is it truer than in dis
ease that ian ounce of prevention is worth q
pound Of cure"
There is a great deal OF wisdom in what the
World remarks. Individuals, as a rule, de
not give their physical welfare attention.
and 1t is only when alarmed by the presence
of disease Itself-the consciousness OF fail
ing strength-that attention is given tosuca
matters.
Much has been said and written in recent
years concerning the extreme and often
times fatal danger which results from de-
lay in the treatment Of kidney diseases.
Physicians admit that they can not control
advanced disease in those organs, and it is
doubtful whether they can control 1t In any
stage without the assistance Of Warmers
Safe Cure, which is established as the only
known means which will reliably prevent
and cure this class Of disease.
Besides, it has been definitely asoertained
that kidney disease is the real cause Of Ill
health in most cases where consumption,
heart, brain or nervous disorders are sup
posed to exist, and in consequence Of such
belief many fatal mistakes have been COM
mitted by our best physicians in treating
such disorders, which are but the symp-
toms of the disease, whilst they have al
lowed the real disease-disease of the kid
neys, to escape their notice until too late.
There is no safer or surer way by which
health can be preserved and disease averted
than the occasional use of Warmers Safe
Cure, which will benefit the "engines OF
nfe,''-the kidneys, even If they are in
normally healthy state; while the good that
will result in case disease is threatened, or
is already present, cannot be overestimated.
The most careful examination made BY
skillful physician sometimes is unreliable,
since this class of disease is extremely de-
ceptive, and seldom openly manlfests itself
until the unsuspecting sufferer IS beyond
assistance.

THE CHINESE WALL
Sixteen Hundred Miles OF Massive Mason
rY structure.

sixteen Hundred Miles OF Massive Mason.
ry Structure.
| have just returned from trip to
the Chinese wall, and l have seen
enough to say there is no doubt of It's
existence and greatness. Built l,70O
years before America was discovered,
when our ancestors, half-nal1ed and al
together savage, wandered throughout
France, Germany and England, when
Rome was in the height Of her Repub-
lican form Of government, and when
the Roman empire had not yet begun
be, these massive towers still crown
the parapets, and the 1.600 miles OF
wall still stand. It is two
days ride by donkey from Pekin.
and one goes through the north
ern edge Of the great plain Of China
and meets it in the great chain OF
mountains which separate China from
Mongolia and Manchuria Manchuria
and Mongolia lie directly north OF
China.
They are both subject to and gov
erned by China, and they equal in size
about one-half the whole territory OF
the United States Above them lies
Siberia, and south Of their western
edge Is Thibet and Iii, which are also
Chinese countries as to govern
ment All are sparsely settled.
and Mongolia has less than
two people to the square mile.
while its whole population is not
greater than the city Of New York.
Manchuria has 120O0,00 people. and
both countries are far more savage
than the Chinese, and the MongolianS
live largely in tents. The trade OF all
these people. however, comes north
from Pekin and passes over the
mountains and through the great wall
at the gate which I visited. The wall
was built originally to keep them out,
but they have swarmed through In
hordes again and again, and 1t is
Manchurian emperor that now sits
upon the Chinese throne.
What wonderful structure 1t Is!
As | stood upon its ramparts / could
see it climbing the mountains and GO
ing down the valleys as far rs my eyes
could reach. 1t did not diminish in
strength nor size at the varinus points
I visited, and its masonry would have
been gooi work for the American
builders Of to-day. 1t is about twen-
ty-five feet high, and at the top it is
SO wide that two carriages could drive
abreast along 1t and the hubs Of one
would not touch those Of the other. It's
exterior walls are Of blue brick OF such
size that they look like massive
stones, and these are filed in with
earth and paved with brick at the top.
The grass and the moss have now
grown over the top Of this great wall.
No archerS now guard it, and it stands
amid the snowy mountains monument

homes and those of their descendants
