with the natives was intrusted to the compradore, usually a Chinaman, who spoke the Yokohama kotoba (dialect) of the Japanese. Now Chinaman consid- CTS himself as at least the equal if not rogant toward Japanese who ill his turn regards his Mongolian neighbor with the contempt of Californian.
 Under these circumstances Japa- nese gentleman on business intent would come to Yokohama Instead of meeting with the courtesy to which, ill his own country at least, he certainly is entitled, he would be detained by the Chinaman or perhaps meet some supercilious junior clerk fresh from the mother country and consequently not little impressed with his own superiority over al-y na- tive, asking him, What do you want?" and then refer him to the Chinaman. Is it not natural that this Japanese should shake the dust of this house and make solemn VOW not to cross the threshold again?
 To be sure, most firms have supcrsed- ed the Chinese compradore by native statesmen or interpreters, but these be- long to the lower class of Japanese, with whom gentleman will not associate. Hence misunderstanding and i'll feeling prevail.
 Japanese of the better class give Yoko- hama a wide berth. To them this city is an anomaly, fungus upon the sacred soil of Dai Nippon, and some foreign CTS, thoughtlessly perhaps, do much to strengthen this feeling - Yokohama Cor. New York World.

AN EFFECTIVE MAIDSTONE,
How It Adheres to the Body and Suck
 Out II the Poison.

How It Adheres to the Body and Sucl<s
 Out All the Poison.
 Nearly every one has heard more or less about madstones and the wonderful cures with which they are credited in saving life where person had been bit ten by mad dog. Many regard these stones as mere superstition, but statis- tics go to prove that they really do con- tain many wonderful properties. Mad ttones are seldom heard of anywhere ex- cept in the southern states, where they are quite common, and most of the peo- pie of that section place great faith in them. Mrs. J. M. Parks, lady resid- ing in this city, is the possessor of one of these remarkable stones, and a report CT called on her to learn something about them,
 "Yes," she said when questioned on the subject, II have maidstone and have had it many years, My husband found it near Magnesia Springs, Fla, l have only had occasion to use it three or four times since it has been in my pos= session, and each time the best results followed. The reason that I have not used it often is that Inover hear of a case where person has been bitten by q mad dog until l see it ill the paper, and then it has always been stated that the pa- tient has been taken with convulsions, It is too late to use the maidstone then. Spasms do not generally appear until about nine days after the person is bit ten, and if the stone is applied any time previous to the convulsions the poison will be entirely drawn out by 1t.
 "The worst case l ever cured with my maidstone happened when policeman here in the city, named Price, was bit- ten on the hand by a mad dog. His arm had swollen up to three or four times it's natural size and had turned black. The man was suffering the most excruciat- ing agony, and his physicians had de- spaired of his life. accidentally heard of his case and at once hurried to the house with my maidstone. The doctor consented to give it trial, and the re- suit was that the man recovered and is now walking around the streets as we'll as ever.'
 Upon the reporters asking If he might see the stone Mrs. Parks immediately produced it, remarking as she did so, 1t does not look nearly as powerful as it really is."
 It is little, porous, chalklike sub- stance about an inch long, half an inch wide and a quarter of an inch thick and appeared to be 8 sort of vegetable compound.
 'The process of applying the mad stone," continued Mrs, Parks, lis very simple and somewhat similar to vaccina- tion. You select some part of the body between the bite and the heart and with sharp knife scrape the skin till the blood comes, then apply the stone to the raw spot. The stone will adhere imme- diately, and it's drawing qualities are so great that it will almost bury itself in the flesh, sucking out the poison until all the pores of the stone are filled with the deadly virus. The stone then drops off of it's own accord, and after being thor oughly cleansed with milk, warm water and soap is applied again. This is kept up till the stone refuses to stick, thereby showing that all the poison has been drawn out. "-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

thorny cactus on every hand, Hanks seemed to shiver as he buttoned his coat and looked nervously around and stood moment thinking. Then, by chance or through fear, he cast glance behind him and saw Father Grimes sunk down ill heap, with his head fallen forward upon his bosom. Perhaps he thought the old man dead-at least he had caught the bullet meant for himself He hesitated moment, looked around the horizon, and then, moved by sudden fear, walked rapidly away through the stunted trees beyond the sand. This tale chronicles no further the wander ings of the assassin. He never returned
 Father Grimes slowly raised his head, by and by pressed his hand 10 his side and tried to rise After awhile they came and bore him to his cabin and placed him upon his bed for ill news travels quickly, and the curiosity of the hard community had quickly hurried crowd to tho spot While he lay quietly and looked upward through the cabin roof, calm and placid, the post surgeon came, and the commandant, and even the chaplain, and the crowd gathered at the outer door, only parting to permit the passage of another burden which was borne there by chance or a fancied con- nection with Grimes and his daughter and laid upon low bench beside the wall crying murder through the hush with its white uncovered face.
 They questioned the old man, and brokenly and at intervals he told them all he knew. No. no; not all, for his mind seemed preoccupied, and at inter vals he stopped and lay very quiet look ing at something they could not see and smiling as he feebly held out his hand. His careworn and pain burdened life was passing fast That they knew and were awed ill the presence of that death SO many of them had courted; so many had pretended to scorn. They watched him and waited to hear if he had aught else to tell. A little while passed ill si- lence. Suddenly he opened his eyes again and looked intently toward cor her of the room. It was not a look of scrutiny, doubt or inquiry, but of happy certainty and surprise. A faint flush stole into the pallor of his old face, his eye frightened, and he stretched forth his hand and tried to lift himself upon his arm. The doctor bent over him (the chaplain had gone home again) and asked him what he would have. Tho old man turned with look of surprise and pointed with his finger.
 Don't you see him?' he said
 II see no one-what Is he like?''
 "I-I don't know. His face shines, and he smiles. It is like him as he walked on the sea. wonder-you don t suppose do you? he can have come so far for me?''
 And death sealed upon the scared and wrinkled face its last beatitude. They went out and left him there and closed the door. And as they passed through the outer chamber they saw the girl sit ting by the bench beside the wall and looking with fearless eyes afar off while she held ill her lap her dead lover's cold right hand.

I was unable to sleep, getting but very little rest at night. suffered from indigestion and my appetite was very poor. learned of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and hearing it most highly spoken of, deter mined to use it. It had helped so many despairing sufferers I believed it would help me. After taking the second bottle 1 noticed a marked improvement and continued to steadily gain in all respects.

Tho Sling Of the Nottle-

The leaf and stem of nettle are lit orally clothed with erect hollow hairs. If one of these hairs is viewed under a microscope, it will be seen that its free end, after tapering to very fine degree of slimness, finishes as little knob, while in the other direction. after grad ually becoming more robust, it suddenly expands intoa large bulb, corresponding with the poison gland of the adder.
 The point of the hair Is very brittle, and contact with our skin causes the end to snapoff, leaving hollow needle point which readily pierces our cuticle, and pressing upon the bulb at the other end the poison is forced through the central channel and inhames our blood. The tender handed who stroke the nettle are stung for their pains, because their gen. tleness has only served to break the brit tie points and rendering them fit for piercing, but the rough handed break the hairs at their thirkest parts, where they are too stout to prick.-Good Words.

The capital earned in northern mills, dis tributed through savings banks, is great factor in sending to such regions civilizng influences in the form of railroads and de- velopment of mines, farms and other local advantages, In return for which they put forth efforts to cripple the industries that thus benefit them, and furnish market for the products of their mines and farms.

He took such a severe cold that he could hardly talk or navigate, but the prompt use of fChamberlain'sC Cough Remedy cured him so quickly that others at the hotel who had bad colds quickly followed his example and half dozen persons ordered it from the nearest drug store. They were profuse in their thanks to MT. Kahler for telling them how to cure a bad cold so quickly. For sale by w. w. Lathrop, Stafford Springs; c. l.. Phillips, South Coventry.

The New Cure for DIpbtberIa.

The results of the experiments of the
Health Department with the anti toxine
method of treating diphtheria are most
encouraging, There are few infectious
diseases especially among children, that
baffh medical treatment more stubborn
ly after certain stage, than this scourge,
and if this remedy proves to be what is
lpromised for it by its distinguished
author, DR.. Koch of Berlin, it will be one
of the most important medical discover
les of recent times. Out of about $50
cases treated by the local Health Board
by the anti. toxine method 100 per cent.
recovered where incubation took place
on the first day and 81 and 81 per cent.
respectively where it occurred on the
second and third days. One of the sig
nal features of this new treatment is
said to be its totolly harmless character.
No matter what the condition of the
patient, if the remedy does not accom-
plish cure it at least leaves no injurious
effects behind.-New York Press.

The Letter writing Horse Thief.

Charles R. Young, the horse thief who
has recently been in State prison in Yer
mont, has not yet given up his habit of
letter writing to newspapers. The
Troy Times received communication
Monday signed G. r. Young and dated
at Bennington, in which Young asserts
that his conviction was case of mis-
taken identity and that it was 1.-THE other
fellow" who stole the horses. Young
continues to use extraordinary words
and phrases in his letters, and shows
that his reading has been somewhat ex-
tensive. In the communication received
by the Times he pretends to give infor-
nation of some horses stolen at Reeds
vile and Delmar, west of Albany.
Young speaks of a certain Vermont
horseman as being "noUed for his trick,
ish mendacity, specious knayery and
vulpine beguilement of a confding gen
Grafton" He sprinkles his communica-
ton with such adjectives as 'preda-
ceous'' and ''equine" and concludes it
with Latin quotation.
