Floods In China.

The foods in the Mississippi valley al
the present time make us learn a fellow
feeling for China, where they have such
floods as are unknown in any other por.
ton Of the world. In the heart of the
empire there is a vast plain 600 miles long
and 300 miles wide. This is traversed by
three great rivers, the Yang Use, yellow
and Pie-ho, each one of which is subject
to flood during the summer season. Ca
mails crossing and recrossing between the
streams convert the entire district of $50,
600 square miles into many islands, and
when the rivers rise to food height they
overflow nearly the entire plain, render
ing at the time at least 10, 900 900 persons
homeless. Well are the rivers named the
"Sorrow OF China" inasmuch as since
the Christian era there are recorded 372
such floods. Probably the greatest was
that of the year OF 1871, when the three
rivers simultaneously rose to food
height. The homes and farms of 1000 00C
persons were submerged, and then fol.
lowed fever and famine. 1t is estimated
that bet ween food, starvation and pesti,
lence, no less than 1000, 900 persons lost
their lives through the food.

ALasso of Women,s Hair.

Up the Wenatchee valley on the Upper
Columbia river, lives an old Indian chief
named lie Pier. who is the owner of a
most remarkable souvenir of the early
days on the Western frontier. 1t is n
lasso fifty feet long and made entirely
from the hair taken from scalps of white
women. Though the old Indian allows
but few few people to see it, those who
have say it shows the dark tresses o.
brunette women, mingled with brown
and auburn, and in half dozen places
yellow. There are traces of gray and
white twisted here and there in the
strange lariat. 1t is believed that probs
bly, 80 women were alped to make thi:
fearful relic, nearly all of whom were the
wives and daughters OF settlers in Black
foot valley. Old lie Pier sets high
value on the grewsome thing, believing ii
to have some occult power.

1.-THE time OF the end has come, and
Jesus is coming soon," says Rev. A. NJ.
Reaper, evangelist, of Chicago. He de-
declares that the last seven years of this
age and the last seven years of the 5000
years from Adam began in the spring OF
1893, and that during this last seven
years, which will end in 1900, nine-tenths
of the human race will perish by war,
pestilence, earthquake and hail. Mr..
Reaper is very positive about this, and
he quotes Scripture in support of his
belief with the f1uency that has always
been the striking characteristic of the
Adventists. The material world is not
going to come TO an end, only the affairs
OF the "sge" will be wound up, and the
true Christians, of whom there will be
exactly 144,0 when the Lord appears,
will be caught up into the beautiful city
OF God, 1900 miles square, sparkling
like diamond" ETC., which will hang
in mid-beaven during the thousand years
while all the rest of the people. includ-
ing millions of church people, aldermen
and bankers, will be plunged into hell,
"a lake Of fire and birthstone inside oil
this earth, 5000 miles across it, large
enough to contain all the people who
ever rebelled against God" And this
charming program is billed to come of
Just three years hence.

Rheumatism.

The busiest and most useful men
are not always exempt from sickness.
Especially are they liable to be at
tackled and completely disabled by that
most annoying and painful ailment-
Rheumatism. Men in all walks of life
are subject at any time TO be seized
with this disease, and besides the great
bodily pain, there is almost unbearable
mental anguish at the thought of hav-
ing ones strength and vigor gradually
supplanted by Il condition of utter
helplessness. Under the effects of
rheumatism, the strongest men be-
come the weakest, and the most useful
are robbed of their usefulness.
Mr.. J. A. LeScur has lived in At
1anta, Ga, for years, and some of the
pretticst residences and most substan-
tial business blocks of that city are
monuments to his skill as an architect
and builder.

But like many other busy men, Mr..
LeSeur was overtaken by Rheumatism
and soon his strength gave way to
condition of helplcssness. This dread
disease produces more agony, he SAYS,
than can we'll be described. For
years l have suffered with Sciatic
Rheumatism and often felt as if a
small piece of my spine had been
taken out, also as if a fragment OF
bombshcll had passed through my left
hip. When l would sit down, could
not straighten up for several minutes,
and then only at the expense of great
pain. / could get absolutely no relief
though many remedies were tried.
Someone recommended $. S. S. and ]
was almost i'll despair when began its
use. In three days, however, l was
so greatly relieved that l felt very
little inconvenience from the rheuma a.
tism. The disease grew less painful
as l continued the S. S. S., and very
soon disappeared entirely. S. S. S.
also proved to be Il fine tonic, as now
have more appetite, and feel better
than ever before, in my life. / cannot
say too much in praise of S. S. s."
Rheumatism is a condition of the
blood which has always baffled the
doctors, aHd it is popularity that
those who once have it are sure to al
ways be subject to its attacks from
time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able to give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system of the disease permanently.
S. S. S. guaranteed purely regetdbte) is
the only real blood remedy for real
blood troubles, such as Rheumatism,
Scrofula. Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh,
letter, Contagious Blood Poison, etc.
When S. S. S. once forces disease
from the system il never returns. Our
