A Land Without Domestic Animals.

Japan is land without the domestic
animals. 1t is this lack which strikes the
stranger so forcibly in looking upon
Japanese landscapes. There are no cows
the Japanese neither drinks milk nor
eats meat. There are but few horses,
and these are imported mainly for the
use of the foreigners. The freight cars in
the city streets are pulled and pushed by
coolies. and the pleasure carriages are
drawn by men. There are but few dogs,
and these are neither used as watch dogs,
beasts OF burden nor in hunting except by
foreigners.
There are no sheep in japan and wool
is not used in clothing, silk and cotton
being the staples. There are no pigs
pork is an unknown article Of diet, and
lard is not used in cooking. There are
no goats or mules or donkeys. Wild
animals there are, however, and in par
ticular bears of enormous size. One OF
these Mr.. Finck saw stuffed, in museum,
he describes las big as an OK" Besides
another stuffed museum bear is preserved
in alcohol the mangled body Of child
the bear had eaten just before being
killed. War, OF course, is acquainting
the Japanese with the use OF animals.
The army has cavalry horses, and Others
to drag the field guns. The empress,
also, in obvious imitation of European
royalties. is an expert horsewoman. and
saddle horses are kept for her se.-[ Pop

A FARMERS OPINION.
This Information is Worth More
Than the Present Value OF a
Bin Full Of Grain.

In Sullivan County, about half mile from
the village of Unity, N. H., there lives a
good, honest, Woodworking tiller of the soil,
named C. E. French. Like every sensible
farmer Mr.. French subscribes for papers,
and one evening, as he was looking over his
Claremont weekly, his eye CHANGED to catch
a reading notice which proved bonanza for
him and frightened up his tagging spirits
over the low price Of grain and farm produce
and the high price Of commodities which are
necessary for farmers existence. A farmer
reasons in his own peculiar way, and he calls
a spade spade; so Mr.. French says quietly
to himself: II want Just such remedy as
Doan's Kidney Pills. If it carries out faith
fully half what it claims it will cure my lame
back. However much good may result from
one box, little or no harm can ensue." The
next time Mr.. French visited Claremont he
made some inquiries at drug store about
the preparation, and was informed that
scores Of people in Claremont and the sur.
rounding country had thoroughly tested
Doan's Kidney Pills and published their ex.
perience in Claremont papers. This was
enough for Mr.. French. He purchased @
supply, and what follows is his experience
He says: "My kidneys have troubled me
ever since I left the army, but for the past
FIVE years have been going from bad te
worse. I doctored and used various kind:
of medicines with little or no result. Fol
several years had constant, sharp, dart
ing pain across my back; in fact, did no
know what it was to be without it. 1t fell
as though needle was run through me.
also had kidney weakness which was yer,
distressing and inconvenient at all times
While in this condition I saw Doan's Kidne,
Pills advertised and so highly recommended
that I was induced to try them. Having
used so many medicines without relief
must confess l had little faith in them, but
was agreeably surprised after taking one box
l am on my fourth or fifth now. Doan'
Kidney Pills knocked the pain in my bac
higher than kite. My other weakness
also relieved. They have done more for m
than all the other medicines have eve
taken, and feel as though I can't speak to
well of Doan's Kidney Pills. You may pub
lish my statement, and I hope it may benef
others who are suffering in similar way"
Doan's Kidney Pills are sold by a
dealers. Price, 50 cents per box, or 81
boxes for Sc. 50. Mailed by Foster-Milbur

general ill-health, by looking in her mirror.
The sallow or blotched complexion, heavy
eyes and dark circles under them the little
wrinkles that gradually creep around the
corners of her eyes and mouth and the
general look of listlessness and despond-
ency will tell the story. Special troubles
of this kind are too frequently neglected
because the natural and proper modesty of
women keeps them from consulting the
average run of physicians. These men,
because they are without inherent delicacy
themselves, imagine that women are the
same. They insist upon obnoxious exam-
nations and local treatment from which
any sensitive woman shrinks. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription will do more for a
woman who suffers in this way than all the
doctors of this description together. Dur.
ing the past thirty years it has been used
by over ninety thousand women with mar
velous results. 1t is an unfailing cure for
all weakness and disease peculiar to wom-
Ell. All good medicine dealers sell it.
