LITERARY NOTES.
Harper's Magazine.

IlGiptI mdSdfllts
Alone in China is the striking title Of
a story by Julian Ralph which will be
a feature of Harper's Magazine for Oc-
tober. This is the first of a series of
six Chinese tales by Mr.. Ralph, with il
Illustrations by G. ID. Weldon, the out
come of travels in the east, which both
writer and illustrator undertook at the
instance of the publishers of Harper's.
AS no other country in the world at the
present time so stimulates yet battles
curiosity, the light that Mr.. Ralph Ga
keen and trustworthy observer) is to
cast upon China will enhance the value
of this series. To the same number a
timely paper on The Future in Rela-
ton to American Naval Power will be
contributed by Capt A. I. Mahan, U.
S. n, who advocates strong navy as
a promoter of peace and of American
interests, and assails the dogma that
the national defence should be the sole
purpose OF battleships.

II is fact which all leading physicians
admit. that nine times out of ten patient
will recover without the assistance of a
doctor. With the advance of general knowl-
edge people understand better what TO do
for themselves. Medicines in themselves
can not cure; Nature alone can cure but
medicines help Nature Take an illustra-
ton. Let us say you have sick headaches
occasionally. with dizziness. sour stomach
and loss of appetite. You do not need TO
60 to a doctor, for every one will tell you ii
is bliousness. and that what you need is
liver pill to clean out the bowels and arouse
the torpid liver 10 action.
In this case you can buy many different
kinds of liver pills. but the best course is to
secure the liver pills and also some TONIC
PELLETS for purifying the blood and
toning up the system, so that you will not
be troubled again.
You can get both of these medi-
cines, in separate boxes, for one price

could give no further satisfactory in

of reputable New York lawyers. One

Gently. He said that the promoters Of
the road were clients who had came to

by responsible parties, and that he had
no personal knowledge of the outcome
of the matter. Further than this, Mr.
McClung could vouchsafe nothing -
