4 Terrible TiSitant.

Pam is always Q terrible visitant, and often domicilrs itself with one for life. This infiction is prevent ible, in cases of rheumatism, by a timely resort to Uostetter's Stom- ach Bitters, which checks the en- croachnents of this obstinate and dangerous maIady at :he outset. The term dangerous" is used ad- visedly, for rheumatism is always liable to attack the vital organs and terminate life. No testimony is moro conclusive and concurrent than that of physicians who testify to the excellent effect of the Bltters in thls disease, Persons incur a Wetling in rainy or stormy weather, and who are exposed to draughts, should use the Bitters as preven- tive of i'll effects. Malaria, dys. pepsia, liver and kidney trouble, nervousness and debility are also among the ailments to which this popular me diclne is adapted. For the infrmities, soreness and stiff ness of the aged it IS highly bcne- fcial.

Most Americans feel a hearty con-
tempt for the English nobility and
aristocracy, their opinion being largely
grounded on such scandals as the bac-
carat affair of two or three years ago,
and the Oscar Wilde episode of the
present day. These, 1t is true, may be
said to be exceptional cases, and there
Is always danger in generalizing the
whole from the particular. Yet when
titled lords and ladies stDuggle to get
inside Of court room to hear such

case with all its disgusting details,
some color seems to be lent to the
popular impression in this country
that England's top circles would adj

The associated press this morning
tells of Chinese sage who responde d
to general invitation issued by the
governor of Making to all his subjects
to devise schemes for the total destruc-
ton of the Japanese. According to
the scheme submitted by this particu-
lar sage every soldier should be armed
with long sword, long bamboo pole
and bucket of water. The pole and
bucket should be held with the left
hand, while the sword was grasped
with the right On charging down
upon the enemy, the buckets should
be hurled at the opposing ranks, so as
to wet their powder and render the
guns useless. The bamboo poles should
then be thrust between the leg, of the
enemy and given twist, which would
cause the Japanese to topple over in
confusion. After that 1t would be an
easy matter to finish off the dripping
and PROSTATE foes with the swords.
And yet we are told that the governor
drove the sage from his presence in
fit of anger. Too often, alas, brains
and originality are not rewarded in
this world. President Cleveland has
scheme or two for the recognition
of silver which is just as ingenious
and IL put into operation would prove
fully as effectual as the brilliant pro-
ject of the Chinese sage to clean up
the Japanese. But curiously enough
the friends of silver fail to embrace
Cleveland as their savior and cham
pion.
