the ancient empires must be struck

A lady recently returped from Japan
adds another 10 the many tales OF the
obsequiousness OF Japanese servants.
In leaving the house one day with his
nurse, says IN exchange. her little son
slipped and fell, receiving no injury

The nurse upbraided herself in the
most extravagant terms, and called
down all sorts OF dire consequences
upon her head. The other servants.
TO whom the affair was told by the un-
happy maid. were equally shocked and

The proportions OF the human figure
are six times the length OF the right

stand on my feet five minutes at time

remember that had an enlarged lung or

have been much better dead than alive
Could not do any homework at ALL Now

washing and all. Please publish my testi-
mony in any of your books or papers, as
