Nothing can be said
in favor of the best medicine in the
world that may not be said of the
most worthless. In one case, it's
true; in the other, it isn't;-but how
can you distinguish?
Judge by what is done. There's
only one blood-purifier that's guar.
anteed. It's DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery-and this is what
is done with it if it doesn't benefit
or cure, in every case, you get your
money back. Isn't it likely TO be
the best?
All the year round, as well at one
time as another, it cleanses and pur-
lies the system. All blood-poisons
must go. For Dyspepsia, Bilious
ness, Scrofula, Salt-rheum, letter,
Erysipelas, or any blood-taint or dis.
order, it is an unequaled remedy.
It's the cheapest, too. With this,
you pay only for the good you get.
And nothing else is "just as good"
1t may be better-for the dealer.
But he isn't the one that's to be
hclped.

Banking In japan.

"No, the banking system of japan is
not exactly like that of America, but
my bank, the Bank of japan, is man
aged something similar to the Bank of
England" said G. Nagasaki, a Japanese
financier. The visitor is here looking
over the banking system of the United
States.
"The Bank of Japan never loans
money direct to the individual" con-
tinued Mr.. Nagasaki. "Before any
loans are made the notes must first be
indorsed by some private banking con-
Germ. The interest charged by our es-
tablishment is per cent, but the
smaller concerns charge from to 10
per cent. The national debt is $20,-
900, 900, and the bonds that are issued
for this amount pay from to per
cent. 1t is the pensions of the ex-mil-
itary men of the feudal times and their
families that keep the country in debt"
The Japanese banker said the recent
stringency in the money market was
felt in his country, and there were also
q few failures.
"But the failures are not so frequent
as in America" he said, because we
do not speculate so much"
Mr.. Nagasaki also said the only
money in circulation in Japan was sill
yer coin and silver certificates. Gold,
he explained, was only used for foreign
exchange.
The capital stock of the Bank Of
Japan is $40, 900. but the concern
has the privilege, the visitor said, of
issuing $S5, 200, 900 in bonds. All the
revenues of the Government are paid
into this bank.

ence. The blackened masses of melted
rock are thrown about in the most fan

It would be easy for hostile Indians to

would be the commissary. Buffaloes are
extinct, and other game is not as abun-

game there is does not take kindly to
the Bad Lands. Besides, in the Bad
Lands there is very little wood, and fuel
is indispensable for winter campaign.

down and throwing mis- arms around her,

SOME FACTS FROM CHINA.
Interesting Statistics About the Vast En-
pire and IT. People.

Interesting Statistics About the Vast EN-
pire and 1t. People.
Plttsburg Dispatch.
Not many years ago the population OF China
was estimated at about 500000,000 souls.
This was reduced ten years ago to 405, ,000,0
More recent and thorough investigation, the
result OF which has just been published by
famous German statisticians, Supan and
Wagner, places the number at 350,000000.
As these figures have been arrived at after an
immense amount OF labor and care, it is hardly
likely they will be changed in any great de-
gree by future estimates. As will be Observed
the last reduces the first figures 150,00 Q, 900,
or nearly two and half times the population
OF the United States. Truly tremendous
difference but has the reader ever stopped to
consider the immensity OF the figures remain
ing. Idly sounding them on the tongue gives
one no real idea OF what 10 conprised In
number reaching nine figures, especially when
hundred and fifty million is within 7,S79, 900
OF the population of entire Europe. II China
organized its army on q basis comparative
with those OF European governments and
went to war 1t would require q combination
embracing every country on the European
continent to resist the intruder. The wonder
full army Of Xerxes would be as nothing In
comparison with the Mongolian horde.
Another way is to take the total population
and compare 1t with anything else of magni-
tude that can be reduced to simple figures.
For instance, IL you stood every Chinese In
dividual on his feet and side by side, allowing
eighteen inches for each one, you would have
continuous line 99,432 miles long, or very
nearly four times around the earth. Stand
them on top Of each other, feet on head, and
allowing an average stature Of five feet six
inches to each individual, and you would
have string of Chinamen that would reach
to the moon, around 1t, and half way back to
the earth on the other side. If each person in
China consumes an average Of five pounds of
food daily, it would require 1885, 900 tons
to feed the people year.
There is only one small thing about the
Chinese nation and that Is it's national debt.
That amounts to only $3S, 100000. Itstrikes me
as being greatly to the credit of people, who
could free themselves entirely from obliga-
tion by an assessment Of eleven cents per
capita. In our own country, with all Its
greatness, about $24. 80 would be required from
every man, woman, and child to square our
account completely.
