MEDICAL.

1877 s. Bssadway, Los Angeles, Cal.
This system. of practice is effectual in the
Asthma and Consumption.
Consumption, like all other diseases of the
respiratory organs, is conceded by all scientific
and thinking men, to originate from living
germ parasitea These little baccilli are found
floating in the expectorated mucus, and after
death adhering tothe mueus surfaces lining the
air passages. What utter nonsense 1t is to try to
destroy these parasites by giving medicines by
the stomach; and yet how easy it is to introduce
them into the diseased parts, by the Aerean
or Inhalation system of practice. Is anything
more common sense? And yet one in every
seven die annually because Of this mistaken
idea; many of whom would be radically and
permanently cured had they used the Medicated
Limitations befores the disease became too far
advanced
over 100, 900 persons. have used these medi-
Gated inhalatiOns under 94r pers Onal direction
during the past tweaty- four years, and very few
of that number have died with lung trouble;
treatment simply as a palliative remedy not
thin ling there was stilha possibility OF an abb
sOfute cure.
In some persons the-tnbsrculous matter exists
in the lungs for years, causing more or less dis
turbance of the nervous and cireulatory sys-
TENS, but the inevitable results are sure to fol-
low sooner or later; and while that is true 1t is
no less true that had those persons W ho became
the easy victims to this foul destroyer during
the early stages of their disease partaken of the
benefits to be derived. from using the Aerean
system of practice, niIiatenths OF them might
have been permanently cured; and while our
climate is probably equSA if not superior to any
climate in the world, yet all will agree that
something more heroic, is required to kill and
destroy the living germs found SO numerOusly
in tt is diseased tissue of the bronchial tubes
and lungs, which nothing will kill or destroy
equal to the Medicated Limitations, when prop
erly applied.
Persons taking this treatment can use the
remedies at home as we'll as at our ofiee.

The girls have not been neglected by

dolls bath-house, with little dolls to swim
around, and be dried and dressed. The
dolls houses were a beautiful dream for
little girls, although, perhaps, a bad
nightmare to papa when he has TO pay for
some of them. They were large . and
small, some costing s10O. and we're lifted
with electric bells and real kitchen stoves,
in which a real ire could be lighted. and real
things cooked, and fingers burned, just
like mama. Some of the houses had dolls
gardens at the back. Then, for fear the
boys should be jealous, there was a boys
doll house-with animals instead of dolls
a great, large %menagerie. In magic lam
terms there was a fine new idea for parties.

ages of edible sea weed and dried fish to
teach the young people the frugal habits OF
the ancient japanese. -.
Toward the middle of the day a splendid
cortege approaches. The young wife,
yelled and dressed in white, advances es-
corted by two friends and followed by a
procession of relatives gay in costumes and
rich In embroidery.
The two friends who do the honors are
called the male and female butter lies. In
their dress they initiate this charming IN
sect, which the japanese consider an en-
blem OF conjugal felicity.
Except a few Buddhist sects, in no part
OF Japan do they employ a priest TO bless
names nor go through any of the fornlali-
ties with which other countries surround
this civil contract. The officer of the po-
lice In whose quarter the marriage takes
place writes to his chief announcing that a
couple intend matrimony and naming the
day.
1t is worthy of remark that in all the
ceremony there is no written contract. 1t
is simply verbal. This gives all the advan-
tage TO the husband, who can divorce his
wife II she talks too much. The most holy
part OF the ceremony is a touching symbol
OF union. Among the objects in thec centre
OF the circle is a metal vase in the form Of
a~drinking vessel with two mouths. This
is beautifully ornamented with bands of
coiored paper. At a given signal one of
the ladies of honor nils with saki, a Japan
etc drink, this metal vase; the other takes
and places it at the lips of the kneeling
couple, f.rst the husband and then the wife.
lt 1t thus that they begin their married
life and drink equally of the joys and sor-
rows of this new existence.

half have arrived, but that they will keep
on coming right up TO New Years day and
later. They have ordered such heavy and
varied stocks that, until the goods actually
arrive and are unpacked, they cannot re-
member just what is in order or what is
coming.
One of the most acceptable novelties for
boys will be found in the new lever pro-
pelIing sled. This is a sled with the seat
about two feet above the runners. The
rider sits on this and grasps two handles,
which he pulls toward him. These levers
have each at the lower end q spike, which
sticks in the ice and gives a purchase, as it
were, and as the weight of the body swings
forward the sled runs ahead at a fair rate
of speed, and can be guided in any direc-
ton. 1t is nicely made in second growth
ash, n finished in the natural wood,
with lever spikes of tempered steel. 1t
runs equally well on snow or ice, has a
brake, and is made in three sizes, for chill
dren under 10, for children over 10, and for
adults. The price of the sled is SO.
A curious and attractive invention for
home amusement and exercise in the VIM
ter is the parlor rowing machine. This is
literally the seat out of a boat, fitted with
handles that work a lever arrangement in
stead of oars, SO that the rover can propel
himself on a track laid on the floor. The
machine can always be depended upon to
amuse a party of lads and develop their
muscles at the same time.
A boy is always delighted with a gun,
and the nearer it comes to the genuine
grown-,ip article the better he is pleased.
This season has two new ideas for him.
One is called the young sp%ortsman's per-
cussion cap ride. Ii is a wonderfully at
tractive little weapon, loading at the breech

the disc falls, thus scoring so many points
to the player. The price is $3.50.
Nine-pins have always been a favorite,
but had the one drawback that the youth
full players were liable to get excited and
throw the ball around. In the improved
game the pins are arranged around a pc
destal, and the ball is suspended from an
arm issuing from an upright. The ball is
swung around gently and catches the pins,
knocking several of them down. The
more gently it is swung the better the re-
suits. Price 81.
any amount of excitement is a large slab
of marble, about four by four feet, the sur
face of which is subdivided into six small
spaces n n large one. These are con-
nected with one another by small holes
cut in the side. In the large open space a
curious top is spun with a spring, and as
1t spins 1T runs around in and on of the
subdivisions, knocking down more or less
of the pins placed there, all Of which fall
by pure chance, and so keep the interest
alive to the end. The game is won by
knocking down the greatest number of
pins. Price IS.
A capital puzzle game is the Eiffel
tower. 1t is curious, by the way, that the
tower figures so little in new designs. This
one IS composed of a great quantity of
small pieces of stout cardboard, which, be-
ing. properly put together and secured with
little wooden pegs, gradually form an
Eiffel tower about -four feet high, and an
exact model of the original building, of
which every child has surely heard. Price
S1.50.
Home marble games are likely to be very
popular. There are no less than twenty
varieties. One of the best of these is where
a marble is tossed into a red, open bag, and
runs from there along and around an &C.
centric spiral, bnally running down to a
board containing a series o holes, each bear
ing a different number. The scoring is
done by the number of the hole into which
the marble rolls. Price $3.50.
A new bagatelle game is an ordinary
board, but instead of a cue or spring at the
side being used the motive power is a can
non liked at the end and nring a ball, and
the 100 score is the wide mouth of a frog

As usual at this time of year Santa Claus
has every moment of his time occupied.
Judging from the appearance of the stores
in which provision has been made TO receive
him the old fellow has, this year, surpassed
himself in his efforts to provide welcome
presents and new ideas in toys and games
for his thousands of little friends, who are
getting ready to lie awake at night and
watch for his coming.
This same old Santa Claus must have a
wonderful workshop in that famous old
cave in the Overland, where he is said to
live and work all the year until he gets his
presents ready to send around. And how
long he has been at It'll saw, some years
ago, a tomb opened in Egypt. 1t had been
closed cou 5000 years, and in it were
quaint little dolls, elastic. balls, marbles
and figures that made bread and mended
spears, ETC., when a string was pulled,
showing that Santa was around in those
far-off days, and found good children to re-
ward Just as he does now. All those old
toys are now in the British museum, and
you can see them there when you go to
Europe.

THE EXPLANATION.

Love and Death once ceased their strife
At the Tavern of Mans Life,
Called for wine, and ~threw-alas,-
Each HIS CULVER on the grass.
When the 0 was DER they found
Mingled arrows strewed the ground.
Hastily they gathered then
Each the loves aud lives of men.
All, the fateful dawn deceived.
Mingled arrows each one sheaved;
Deaths dread armory was stored
With the shafts he most abhorred:
Loves light culver groaned beneath
Venom-headed darts of death.
-Rududrd Kiptino.
