Enect OF roh,ceo on Row.

The boy who smokes saps his physical
strength. In boat-races and games of
baseball, cricket, bicycling and other
athletics the habitual smoker stands
no chance against the young man of
pure, clearly aud temperate habits.
Some investigations have recently been
made which convey startling warn
ing to smoking boys. From measure
ments of 49, students in Yale College
ii was found that those who let tobacco
alone gained over those who used it
during the college year is02 twenty
two per cent in weight, twenty-nine
and one-half per cent in height, nine
teen per cent in girth of chest, and
siXty.six per cent in lung capacity
Measurements at Amherst College
showed even greater difference in favor
of those who did not use tobacco.
With such evidence as this before him,
no sensible boy is likely to try to Guilt
vate the tobacco habit or TO cling to it
if he has already acquired it. Give the
boys more opportunities for athlet cs,
and they will require less tobacco. =

A person in good health with fair
play easily resists cold. But when
the health flags a little, and
liberties are taken with the
stomach or the nervous system, chill is
easily taken, and according to the
weak spot of the individual assumes
the form of a cold or pneumonia, or it
may be jaundice. Of all cases os
"cold" probably fatigue is one of the
most efficient. A jadcd man coming
home at night from Il long days work,
a growing you h losing two hours
sleep over evening parties two or three
times IA week, or young lady doing
the season. and oxerfed children
with a short allowance of sleep, are
common instances of the victims of
the cold. Luxury is favorable to the
chill-taking: very hot rooms, soft
chairs, feather beds, create sensi-
tiveness that leads to catarrh. 1t is
not, after all, the cold that is So much
to be feared as the antecedent condi-
ton that gives the attack a chance to
do harm. Some of the wor colds
happen to those who do not leave their
house or even their bed, and those who
are most invulnerable are often those
who are exposed to change of tempera-
ture, and who by good sleep, cold bath
ing, and regular habits preserve the
tone of their nervous system and cir
culation.

cHINA.s EMPEROR.
Life Among the Tartars In Pekin ann
Other Monaghan Cities.

Pekin presents, according to Hon.
George Curzon, Nj. p. distinguished
traveller, tho best opportunity for OBJ
serving the life of the Tartars of tho
Chinese Empire. 1t was a city OF in
describable filth and squalor, and yet
OF great mystery and romance. The
one feature that doomed above all
others was the apparently impossible
distance that existed not only be-
tween the ruler and the people of
the country. but between the EN-.
peror and the rest Of mankind. In
countries which boosted Of high
condition of civilization, diplomatic
relations. ii was well known, were
carried on by private conference Us
much as, If not more, than in any
other way. The private conference
was out Of the question in China. In
other countries. as a matter OF course,
the credentials OF diplomatic repre-
sentatiyes were received by tho
ruling power.
After years Of persistent strug-
CLING this favor was granted as Il
right on two occasions, but it was
discovered that such representatives
OF foreign powers as had succeeded
in breaking down the barrier Of
Chinese exclusion had done SO only
in manner to save their own dignity,
as they thought, while in reality, rs
understood in China, the emperor
had simply bridged chasm by APP
Earently yielding to q demand, while,
in fat, he had descended to subtcr-
fugc, in other words, he had received
in hall that was considered to have
a tributary implication. This discov-
cry created not unnatural warmth
among the representatives of foreign
powers, but the way to a moe AMIGA
be understanding had been paved by
the British minister. who had rc.cs-
tablished rights that were observed
as a matter of course elsewhere.
The cXclusivcncss in which the en-
| peror Of China enshrouds himself is
certain, in Mr.. Curzon's opinion, to
! grow less marked. He explained
briefly, but most lucidly, the dilli-
| culties which foreign representatives
| had to encounter in China. If the
| representatives of Great Britain, for
| instance, found it necessary to dis
cuss some question with the Chinese
ministc, of foreign affairs, he found
| that there was no such functionary.
lie was compelled to lay his case be-
| fore board. This board was com
| posed OF men who knew next to moth
ing about foreign affairs. 1t was as
if Lord Rosebery's position was oc-
cupicd by scratch committee taken
from other departments of the gov
eminent. To any statement that is
made the board will listen with much
politeness and gravity; and, having
| listened, ii will answer that it will
! refer the case. 1t is powcrless itself
To make decision. 1t must be rea-
sonably evident that the path trod-
den by IA foreign representative in
China is not strewn with roses.

Although very large nuEber of

sections quite frequently, all the roads

crowds OF passengers on their way to

ion, you have water here that is SUI
periUr To anything in this whole coun-
try, IL not in the world, for the cure
of rheumatic Affections and diseases of

TO these springs by an intimate friend,
Mr.. Spencer, who owns u large cattle
ranch west OF here. lie had man on
his ranch that was so badly aifiic, ed
with rheumatism that he was hauled
here in helpless condition. lie was
bathed in the old Indian bath for
several weeks, he went home entire
ly cured up, nd resolved that IL ever
had rheumatism in my family, would
try Hot Springs, South Dakota. We
brought Mrs. Allerton here as soon as
she was able to come at all and have
found that all Mr.. Spencer said in ref
erence to tho curative properties OF
the waters has been realized in my
wife's case. She said she feels as
though she had just been turned loose
from a prison where she had been
called upon to endure eycruciating
torture - every joint and muscle
racked with pain so that life was a
burden. No, / think Hot Springs
future Is a grand one. Its air is pure
and wholesome, its scenery lively and
inspiring; sleep comes without any
effort, and it is just the place for rest
and building up a shattered const.tu-
tion. You do not talk enough about
the value of your waters for skin
troubles. j, myself, received great
benefit from them last year in a short
visit there. Your climate makes You
infinitely superior to the Arkansas Hot
Springs, and in country where so
many thousand are afflicted with
rheumatism and other kindred all
ments, il your advantages are made

you will become the foremost health
