Japan,s Ancient Banking Hou.,

Commercial houses which have x.
listed for over 100 years are by no means
common in Europe, and quite rare in
this country. 1t is curious to note that
commercial houses a hundred or more
years old are quite frequent in China
and Japan, where a great many firms
have for centuries been handed down
from father to son, and remained
in the family. The Oldest existing
business is probably a japanese bank
ing house at Kobe, which has for more
than $50 years been in the hands of one
and the same family, the style of the
firm not having changed once in this
long period.-Detroit Free Press.

He had served five years with the Ninth
United States Infantry in many q desperate

record. In the fierce conflict when Geron-

captured, MT. tlegauf was among the brave
soldiers who, forgetful Of everything but
duty, charged upon the hostile Indians.
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who we're never touched

calling bis disease catarrh Of the stomach,
and others chronic diarrhea.

Then all medicines failed, and the sick
man had little hope of recovery. At his
critical time DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

taking them.

The secret of making Stilton cheese
was for some time confined to the fam.
lily of the original inventors, who were
under an engagement to sell all they
could make to the famous Cooper
Thornhill, Of Stilton; and being thus to
be obtained of him alone, it received
the ~appelIation of Stilton cheese, when
it ought to have been named Wichcote

village, on the eastern side of Leicester
