Knew TheIr Sensitive Point.


"They talk great deal about the
beautiful women OF Baltimore" said
the stranger in the Monumental City as
he leaned up against lamppost to rest
himself. "This must be one OF their
days for staying in the house. I've
walked all over this town to-day and
haven't seen half dozen women that
would bc called good looking even in
Boston"
The mob that quickly collected had
fastened one end OF rope to the top of
a lamppost and was about to tie the
other end around his neck when the
stranger, with wonderful presence of
mind, remarked emphatically:
"But there is one thing / will say
about Baltimore. It's the only place
in the country whore they know how to
cook terrapin and canvass-back duck. "
In less than five minutes his arm had
nearly been shaken off him by the
wildly enthusiastic crowd, and he had
accepted a hundred invitations to din

The Ounce Of Prevention.


Under the above heading the New York
World of Feb. 10TH contains an editorial,
Of which the following are few extracts:
physicians and unprOfessional men OF
sense agree that il people would take a little
OF the pans 10 prevent disease that they do
to have it cured that the civilized world
would be much less like vast hospital than
It is now. But the idea of 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
pound of cure.'"
There is a great deal of wisdom in what the
World remarks Individuals, as a rule, do
not give their physical welfare attention,
and it is only when alarmed by the presepee
of disease ltself-the consciousness of fail
ing strength that attention is given tosuch
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.
EHEblClGuS duLllt bit0h blCt lAu AoeA0AAtoA
advanced disease in those organs, and it is
doubtful whether they can control it 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, 1t has been definitely ascertained
that kidney disease is the real cause Of i'll
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 thefr 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 Warner Safe
Cure, which win 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 8
skiIlful physician sometimes is unreliable,
since this class Of disease is extremely de-
ceptive, and seldom openly manfests itself
until the unsuspecting sufferer Is beyond
assistance.

enough to say there Is no doubt Of its
existence and greatness Built + 700

the parapets, and the j, 600 miles Of
wall still stand. Il IS two
days ride BY donkey from PelEin.
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. Manchurla
and Mongolia lie directly north Of
China.
They are both subject to and gov
erned by China, and they equal In siz
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 100000 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 l visited. The wall
was built originally to keep them out,
but they have swarmed through in
hordes again and again, and it is
Manchurian emperor that now sits
upon the Chinese throne.
What wonderful structure 1t isl
As ! stood upon its ramparts could
see it climbing the mountains and GO
ing down the valleys as far as my eyes
could reach. 1t did not diminish in
strength nor size at the various points
visited, and its masonry would have
been good 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 it and the hubs Of one
would not touch those of the other. It's
exterior walls are of blue brick Of such
a size that they look like massive
stones, and these are filled 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.
