recovery have taken couple OF bottles
of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla each spring, and
am quite satisfied that / owe my good
health to this treatment. I give this testi.
monial purely in the hope that it may
meet the eye of some poor sufferer."-
MARY I,1NGARD, Woodstock, Ont.
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla has won its way
to every corner of the world by the praise
of its friends; those who have tried it and
who know they were cured by the use of
the remedy. There is nothing SO strong
as this personal testimony. 1t throws all
theories and fancies to the winds and
stands solidly upon the rock of expert
ence challenging every skeptic with
positive II knop." Ayers Sarsaparil1a
with its purifying and vitalizing action on
the blood is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors, sores,
ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis
eases yield promptly TO this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with DR.. Ayers sarsapa-
rilla usually results in complete cure.
Mary Lingard began with bottle, and
went on to a course of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. When she was cured she realized
that medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent it. So she took couple
of bottles each spring and kept in perfect
health. There are thousands of similar
cases on record. Some of these are
gathered into DR.. Ayers Curebook, a little
book of 100 pages which is sent free by the
J. c. Aver Co., Lowell, Mass. Write for it.

FLOWER-VIEWIN IN JAPAN.

"A National Custom to Make Family Ex-
cursions in Blossom Time.
1t is one of the national customs in
ties of two or three families, to view
the Towering trees and plants in their
season. The Japanese love all flow
ers, but prefer those to which they
look rp-the flowers of trees. They
visit the plum blossoms in February
or early March; the cherry, especially
beloved, in April; the lotus in July;
azaleas during the summer; chrysan-
themums in the autumn, and camellias
in December. In the pleasure grounds
connected with every temple there are
always magnificent collections of flow
ers. An expedition especially to see
the flowers Ii called hanami, or flow
er view. I1; bank of the Sumida riv-
er, which crosses the city of Toxic,
is covered with cherry trees. These
give pleasant shade, and the spot is
q favorite promenade for the citizens
all the year round, but in time of
CHERRY bloom" the crowds that throng
the avaaue are larger than ever. 1t is
crowded Oh moonlight nights, and also
when the STOW lies freshly fallen. Be-
ing fully alive to the beauty of their
country, wherever there is point
from which a picturesque view may
be obtained, the Japanese will build
pavilion, or tea house, or some
similar place of repose, from which the
eyes may feast on the lovely land
scape. In the family pic.,;cs or ex-
cursions, which are frequent, some
place of beautiful situation from which
there is good view either of land
or sea, is always selected. These ex-
petitions are not discontinued even
when the cold of winter comes. Snow
scenes are greatly enjoyed, and when
the freshly-fallen snow is lying on the
ground, numerous parties are seen at
points commanding a fine view. The
children are never excluded, but ac-
company their elders on all such oc-
casions.-St. Nicholas.

let her tell her story:
''Thirty-six years ago had great trouble

HOW MONKEYS ARE CAUGHT.
One of the Peculiar Methods Adopted

One of the Peculiar Methods Adopted
by the Natives.
In capturing monkeys it is said that
their curiosity is the thing that makes
them an easy prey. Nearly all of the
monkeys that we see in this country
come from Gornoma, a little village
situated short distance from the Pan
ANA railroad. The Inhabitants Of this
district are mostly native negroes, for
few white men could bear the climate.
The whole region is marshy, and COW
cred with tropical vegetation. At night
there arises a thick vapor, laden with
fever, which hangs over the woods like
a cloud. This region of woods is the
paradise of monkeys. They travel in
troops, led by an older monkey. When
the people receive information that the
travelling monkey troops" are near
the village they go to the woods in
, crowds to chase them. Their plan is
very simple. They cut a hole in a
cocoa1..t large enough for a monkeys
paw to enter. The nut is then hol-
lowed out and piece of sugar is plac-

of the approaching monkeys. 1t is we'll
known that monkeys are very inquisi-
tive. When they see the cocoanut in
the grass they hurry to examine it. 1t
does not take them long to find out
that the inner part contains a piece
of sugar. One of the boldest and greed
lest sticks a paw into the nut to get
the sugar, and grasps it as tightly as
he can. But his fist is so large that
he cannot draw it out of the hole again,
with the sugar, to which he holds fast,
cost what it may. The natives now
pU:i the string until nut and monkey
arrive in the vicinity of their ambus-
cade. In the meantime the other mon
keys wonder what is the matter with
their comrade. They hurry to see
where he is being pulled to, with his
paw in the cocoanut. They crowd
around him, chattering and gesticulat-
ing, and the natives, who have large
net ready, cast it over them, and be-
fore they know it all are prisoners.
They are sold to the employees of the
Panama railroad, and reach North
American markets through commercial
dealers. P. w. H.

for the oversight The brave admiral
has written for this newspaper the trib-
ute of praise to the gentlemen of the

valor of the American newspaper man,
as exhibited in the late war, has right
iy excited UNIVERSAL comment. The old
time war correspondent, who remained
with the COMMUNICATIVE chief, miles be-
hind the firing line, has been conspicu-
GUS by his absence in the most recent
war. The chronicler of battle preferred d
to march where the fiercest of fighting
was in progress, risking his life for the
sake Of duty as nobly and readily as the
soldiers. The world has wondered al
most as much at this heroism of the
modern newspaper man as it has at the
reckless bravery of the soldiers and sail
ors who carried Old Glory so impetuous-
ly to victory.
