THERE Is more catarrh is this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and it therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses of from
ten drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts d.
rectly on the blood and mucus sur
faces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimo-
mails. Address,

IN CHINA.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-It is be-
lieved that the outcome, from military
point, of today's action will be the with
drawal of all but one regiment OF the
American troops from China to Manila,
where they can be held ready to return
in an emergency. Gen. Chaffee prob.
ably will remain in China in command
of the force there which will be re-
garded simply as legation guard.
The idea of commission to adjust
the difficulties with China is again
brought forward, and it is suggested
that such commission on the part OF
the United States may either form part
of the Joint international commission,
which it is hoped will be appointed for
this purpose,or in the event of the fail
ure of the effort to secure joint action,
then the members can go and deal di-
rectly with China for settlement.
The names of Minister Conger, Gen.
James H. Wilson and Mr.. Rockhill are
mentioned in this connection.
LONDON, Sept. 22.-It seems to be
generally believed throughout Europe
that Germany purposely proposed her
demand that the anti-ioreign leaders
should be surrendered before negotia-
lions were commenced with view of
delaying any general acceptance of her
proposal until Field Marshal Count
Won Waldersee should arrive al Pekin.
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from
Washington asserts that the United
states government has politely declined
TO agree 70 Germany's proposal on this
very ground.
In any event, with Count Won Wal.
dersee and L. Hung Chang both jour
neyiug nOrthward, matters must soon
reach crisis. The manner of Earl
Li's reception seems to confirm the
suspicions existing in Shanghai regard
ing his close understanding with Rus
STA. About four thousand Russian
troops and all the principal Russian
officers met him at Chung Liang Chen,

ference was held, at which no repreent.

Hard Questions.

State Superintendent of Schools Stetson was visit
ing school down in Pembroke when he got into the
pleasant mazes of nature Studies and asked some in
world about us.
How many seed compartments are there in an
apple?" he quered. No knew. "And yet" said
the State Superintendent "al of you eat many apples

You must learn to notice the little things in ma

the COWS to pasture every day this summer can tell
me on which jaw the has her teeth?"
No answer. Rather was there blank astonsh-

the information that "our has teeth on both Jaws
cause she chaws hay all up fine"
If that is so, my boy replied the head of the
State schools I'D advise you to sell that wonderful
COW with teeth on both jaws to some museum Pm

closely enough"
The talk of the State Superintendent deeply inn
pressed the children. They earnestly discussed the
matter at recess time and the teacher the next dav
overheard this conversation in the play-yard:
a little girl got some of her companions around
her, and gravey said: Nov, children make believe
that I'm Mr.. Stetson. You've got to know more
about common things If you don't you'll all grow
up to be fools.

Child Life in Japan.
Youths Companion.

Once while walking about a temple glanced UP
and saw through the gloom and smoke the face of a
hdeous idol looking down upon me from the wall
It's eyes glared and its teeth were so monstrous
as they showed through the ugly parted lips that
was startled beyond measure. 1 almost held my
breath and walked lightly. Its nose shot straight
out from its face and ended like the big end of
gourd. Who could worship so horrible creature?
And yet crowds of people ignorant, deluded, and
under bondage to fear, pressed with their children
into these temple courts. The Fatherhood of God
unknown the love of Jesus an unheard of story
these heather parents know little of any method of
securing religious conviction other than striking ter
ror to a childish heart. But what do we see now?
The crowd is surging about the idol. Children are
held in arms lifted upon the backs and shoulders
OF their nurses A shower Of paper wads fly through
the air They are aimed at the image. Some stick
fast to the great nose and face, many fall to the
ground These are prayers written upon slips of
soft paper which are chewed up in the mouth and
thrown by the worshpper. The wad that sticks fast
guarantees an answer those that fall contain petit
tons which are Observation-Disclosures Christian Adz,o-

mother complained not long ago that there is, in
this day and generation little reverence for parents
This is probably true. But why? asks writer in the
PHtsbWg Dispatch. Are the parents of to-day com
pelling reverence by living their lives so firm, and
fine, and fair, and strong that the children needs
must reverence them? Reverence cannot be forced
out Of children on demand by saying it ought to
be; but any mother command it by being the kind
OF person child can reverence. Better far however
than the old idea Of which our forefathers in
spired in their children-f that is what this mother
meant-are the close, beautiful friendships we are
learning to-day to establish with our children; the
comradeship which joys along with them in work and

Have you heard of the terrible family They
And the dreadful venomous things they say?
Why, half the gossip under the sun,
If you trace it back, you will find begun
In that wretched House of "They"
numerous family, so 1 am told,
And its genealogical tree is old;
For ever since Adam and Eve began
To build up the curious race of man,
Has existed the House of "They"
Gossip-mongers and spreaders of lies,
Horrid people whom all despise!
And yet the best of us, now and then,
Repeat queer tales about women and men,
And quote the House of They"
They live like lords and never labor,
A "Theys" one task is to watch his neighbor,
And tell his business and private affairs,
To the world at large they are sewers of tares-
These folks in the House of They"
1t is wholly useless to follow "They"
With whip a gun, for he slips away
And into his house, where you cannot go,
1t is locked and bolted and guarded So
This horrible House of "They"
Though you cannot get in, yet they get out,
And spread their villainous tales about;
Of all the rascas under the sun
Who have come to punishment never one
Belonged to the House of They"

A little ring of gold-a battered shoe
A faded, curling wisp of yellow hair
Some penciled pictures-playthings one or two
corner and chest to hold them there.
Many womans fondest hoard is this
Among her dearest treasures none so dear.
Though bearded lips are often hers to kiss
That once made only prattle to her ear.
The sturdy arm the seasoned FORM the brow
That arches over eyes of manly blue
Mean all joy to her living memory now
And yet-and yet-she hugs the other, too,
With that rare love, mysterious and deep,
Down in mothers heart through all the years
That placid age can never lull to sleep
And is not grief yet oft brings foolish tears.
She often goes those boarded things to view,
And finger the wee treasures hidden there
TO touch the little ring and battered shoe,
And kiss the curling wisp of yellow hair

In the Alien Land.

By MARGARET E. SANGsrER
We are thinking of our dear ones
Far across the weary world,
Where the hostile peoples threaten
Under battle-hags unfurled
We are praying for our dear ones
Help them in the bitter day,
Thou, for whom they wage conflict,
Jesus, Master, help we pray
Gentle maidens, loving matrons,
Men, serene and true and strong:
Brave to dare the utmost evil,
Swift to fight the ancient wrong.
Keep them safe, O heavenly Father!
Wheresoeer thy servants stand,
Round them gather all thine angels;
Guard them in the alien land.
Lift them up in lofty courage,
Drive the angry foemen back.
Thou art able, o Jehovah!
And with thee there is no lack.
Give thyself to these who need thee.
Help thine own, Christ we pray.
Stand thyself for thy disciples,
In the weary world to-day
Save and keep thy little children
Who have given their idols up.
Strengthen them for every peril,
Sweeten every bitter cup.
Lord, be with thine own to bless them,
Life or death, be thou beside
These who need thee; through the waters,
Life or death, be thou their guide.
