6cient nourishment Is starvation.
When a mans head aches it is because
the tissues of the brain do not receive
sufficient nourishmentfromt the blood, or re-
ceive impure and unhealthy nourishment.
When q man gets nervous and sleepless, it
means that the blood is not properly nour-
out with blotches and pimples and erup-
tons, it means that the skin is being fed
upon the impurities Of the blood. Almost
every known disease Is primarily due to
improper n0urishment through the blood,
which is the life stream. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the greatest
of all blood makers and purifiers. 1t gives
edge to the appetite, corrects all disorders
of the digestion, makes the assimilation of
the life giving elements of the food per-
feet, invigorates the liver, promotes score
body. 1t makes firm, muscular flesh, but
does not make corpulent people more cor
pulent. 1t cures 90 per cent of all cases
of lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and
kindred affections, which, if neglected,
lead up to consumption. It is the best of

With the Children. BY Frank G. Car
penter. Published by the American
Book Company, New York.
Mr.. Carpenters book of travels in our
own country, for the boys and girls, is
very interesting as well as profitable read
ing. He gives one a graphic idea of the
size and shore lines of our continent and

with a splendid view of it imagined from
the moon. Then he comes down to the
earth and journeys from Alaska to Mexico,
from Maine to California, with accounts Of
mines and miners, of lumbermen and
hunters in our forests, and of farmers and
their great grain fields in our West. The
description of Washington, illustrated
with artistic glimpses Of its beautiful
buildings and streets, is particularly
good. Wherever there is anything OF
special interest-the shoe factories of
Lynn, visit to q stuYpehtSne farm, New
YOrk's great harb0r, Alaskan Indians
these are described in a pleasant, prac
teal way that makes one glad to know
his own country better. The book in
cludes travels in the Dominion Of Canada,
Mexico and Central America, is delight
fully illustrated, and has good maps.

shipping at Manila and the prospect
that Manila will succeed Hong Kong as
the emporium of the East, the value of
Chinese labor in. all branches of indus

Jacob G.. Schurman, president of the
Philippine commission, who arrived
here on the China, after being absent in
the Orient since January, was seen by
correspondent for The Tribune, and
asked for his views regarding the Phil
ippines and the work of the commits
sion. He said he could not say any
thing about the islands before making
his report to President Mckinley.
AS I said, however, to one Of the
great statesmen Of JAPAN he con-
tinued, latter / had seen something of
the Orient, it seems to me that the great
question there is not Formosa nor the
Philippines, but China" .... ........
His eyes lighted up at this and he
went on: .s.ss .~.a.~s.
The One Ovsrshadowing Subject.
''Englishmen out there, and Japan as
well as the government of Great Brit
ain, feel that to hold China intact is the
thing of overshadowing Importance.
''It is feared that now Russia has
taken Manchuria. it will try to en-
croach gradually on some or all Of the
IL provinces Of China, and when it gets
them, it will do as that country has
done hitherto-put duty on all for
eign goods.
"Englishmen and Japanese feel that
America should hold with them in pre-
venting the dismemberment Of China.
It is felt out there that almost anything
is liable to happen in the Orient in the
next half dozen years.. tis
A AIomeatous Situation.
"Englishmen there feel that their
own government is not quite as strong
at the present time as it should be, nor
as it used to be. There is undoubtedly
fear of Russia. 4.

SOtc1AO1 VI OIluOSd, duU WuO ~ HOW
in the cabinet.
Everywhere and at all mes, with
these statesmen, it was recognized that
the future of China was the one over
shadowing question. China, it was
agreed, should maintain it's independent
position, but it's doors should be kept
open. It means much to England and
Japan, and not less to America. There
is hope in the Orient among leading
men that China itself may become
aroused, SO that it may itself hold it's
domain intact. But it is not yet sufi-
ciently awakened. That is the sad phase
of it. ....
'The Chinese are patient, indus
trious people. They can live in any
climate, away in the Arctic or far south
in the tropics. They can make money
anywhere. Such race. it is felt, ought
to arouse itself in this dilemma, but we
shall see. Nobody can tell what will

cross examination of General Mercier.
M. Labor has himself related the in
cident. He had just fallen and saw
one of two men run to his side. One of
these said:
"His coat must be taken of. He will
be too hot"
Tried to Taks the Wallet.
The speaker then took the wounded
advocates coat off and another man
seized the wallet. NJ. Labor. however,
retained his presence Of mind and re-
fused to allow the wallet to be taken
out Of his hands, putting it under his
head for pillow aiin holding it with
one hand. The coat was sh6rtly after
wards put on again. On arriving at his
residence, M. Labori asked his wife to
look into pockets and see If their con-
tents were safe. Nine. Labor found
the pockets completely emptied. Luck
lily no papers of importance were in the
pockets, which only contained personal
letters, including menacing letters re-
ceived on the previous day. The rifling
OF the lawyers pockets of the papers
and the attempt to steal his wallet
while no effort was made to appropriate
hfs watch or money are regarded as
clear evidence Of plot in which sew
eral men were implicated.
The man who actually fred,the shot,
it appears, was only one part Of the ma
chinery Of the conspirators. In spite Of
the extensive search made for the
would-be assassin, he is still at large
apd the impression is gaining ground
that he is being aided by the anti -Drey-
fus country people.
The doctors in attendance upon M.
Labori have sent to Paris for an X-ray
apparatus, in order to locate the bullet.
