SOME INNS IN ASIA.
Description of the Queer Institu-
tIOns Found In China.

|
tIOns Found In China.
The inns are the inns of the east-the
inns that prevail everywhere in Asia,
though the average tourist does not see
them. Let me describe one of these Chi
nese inns. Turning sharp off the main
street of the town and passing through a
gateway in a mud wall you find yourself
In courtyard. One side is occupied by
several rooms for guests. At one end of
each room, filing about third of the
space, is a matted dais raised about two
feet high. But under the dais is fire.
place of brick On the dais is small ia
BILE standing about six inches high.
The travellers spread their bedding on
the dais and sleep there, or they squat
crosslegged on the dais and eat their food
from the six inch high table that rests
there. The larger portion Of the room,
the space not occupied by the dais, has a
floor of beaten earth, and it may contain
II table or couple of chairs, or it may
contain nothing. Its purpose is to store
the travellers baggage or merchandise. On
the other three sides Of the courtyard are
tables for the pack animals and kitchen
used by every one.
AS the inn is enlarged 60 meet increased
traffic there may be added to it additional
courtyards, or corner pieces, or long al
leys, as the proprietor Is able to buy or
lease ground But the principle of the
extension is the same as that of the orig
inal design. The inn lets to the traveller
stable accommodation and place where
he may lay his bedding, and it provides
him with the use of kitchen and a we'll.
That is all in theory. The traveller must
bring and often does bring, his own food
and forage. He ought TO draw his own
water and himself boil it. But in prac-
tice and under pressure of traffic the inns
have fallen into the way of keeping for
sale a quantity Of forage and of food, such
as mutton, fowls and eggs, and the care
takers or servants of the inn supply water
drawn from the we'll and boiled over the
common fire.
At every Chinese inn we stopped at boil
ing water was brought as soon as we
alighted, in order that we might refresh
ourselves with tea, which we were sup
posed TO have with US, and If we hadn' 3
tea, as by outrunning our baggage, the
tea was promptly supplied and afterward
paid for by our servant when he settled
the bill. For that purpose the payments
were all in copper cash, each being of the
value of halfpenny.
All the inns at which we stopped be-
tween Peking and Kalgin were built of
beaten mud. The stables and the man
gers were Of the same material Wood,
which is dear, was only in use for door
ways and window panes. The latter were
lattioed, and the lattices were in part
blank and in part papered over. AS the
weather got colder more and more of the
lattices would be papered up, until in
winter fresh air would be practically ex-
cluded My custom was to examine the
window frames, and If | thought there
was not enough air space l made as much
more as ] thought fit by poking holes in
the paper with my walking stick. No
objection was made, for paper Is cheap

'CHINA,s DEFIANCE OF RUSSIA.
A Refusal to Yield to the Latest DIG
mand of the C,zar

A Refusal to Yield to the Latest De-
mRnd of the Gar.
Shanghai May 15.-The tsung-li-
yamen (Chinese foreign ofice) has re-
piled to the Russian minister at Pekin,
M. De Giers, that the government is
unable to accede to the Russian de-
mand, made last Wednesday for a new
railway concession connecting Pekin
with Russia's present system in Man
churia. Not since the taking of Port
Arthur by Russia have the Chinese
been so agitated as over this demand.
The concession asked for would ruin
the existing Northern railways, in
which British capital to the amount of
$2,000000 is invested. 1t is believed
that Russia's action in this matter is
intended to demonstrate to the world
that the recent convention with Great
Britain respecting shares of interest
in China, which was notified to the
Chinese government almost immedi-
ately before this latest concession was
demanded, has not fettered the ac-
tion of Russia at the court of Pekin.

few days decreeing the year 1900 shall
be a jubilee year throughout the
church is expected here shortly, and
will be announced in all churches

THE political contest in Schuylkill
county this year is an important one.
From a party standpoint, it is one
that will require much hard work on
the part of the Republican leaders to
! conduct successfully Very little has
been done to harmonize the party
factions, and it behooves the leaders
to give this matter their serious con-
aiionrtjsRs us G915lg UiARl6f that the
Republicans can elect their ticket, or
a majority of it; but this cannot be
accomplished with the party divided.
Get together, gentlemen; there is
room enough in the party for all fac
tions, and each to have an equal di-
vision of the spoils.

II CAN'T BE DONE.
No One eau Remain Well, No Chronic Dis
ease Can be Cured Unless the stomach
is First Made Strong and vigorous


This is plain because every organ in the
body depends on the stomach for its nourish-
ment. Nerve, bone, sinew blood are made
from the food which the stomach converts to
our use.
How useless to treat disease with this, that
aud the other remedy aud neglect the most
important Of all, the stomach
The earliest symptoms of indigestion are
sour risings, bad taste in the mouth, gas in
stomach and bowels palpitation, all-gone
feeling, faintness, headaches. constipation ;
later comes loss of flesh, consumption, liver
aud heart troubles, kidney diseases nervous
prostration, all Of which are the indirect re-
suit of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from indigestion
should make it practice to take after each
meal one of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, al
lowing il to dissolve in the mouth and thus
mingle with the saliva and enter the stomach
in the most natural way. These Tablets are
highly recommended by DR.. Jennson be-
cause they are composed of the natural di.
gestive acids aud fruit essences which assist
the stomach in digosting all wholesome food
before it has time TO ferment and sour.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists, full sized packages at 80 cents.
They are also excellent for invalids and
children. A book on stomach diseases and

THE position Of the Catholic church
on divorce is clearly and forcefully
demonstrated by Cardinal Gibbons
in signed statement issued on Sat
urday. The American Cardinal de-
fends the contention Of the church
that death only should sever the
bond of marriage. He says MAR
riage, in the view Of the church, is the
most inviOlable and ire vocal bic Of all
contracts that were ever formed
Every human compact may be law
fully Dissolved but this. Nations may
be justified in abrogating treaties
with each other, merchants may dis
solve partnerships, brothers will
eventually leave the paternal roof,
and, like Jacob and Esau, separate
from one another; friends, like
Abraham and Lot, may be obliged to
part company, but by the law of God
the bond uniting husband and wife
can be dissolved only by death No
earthly sword can sever the nuptial
knot which the Lord has tied for
what God hath joined together let
no man put asunder."
