STORY OF A SLAVE

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. Geo.
ID Williams, of Manchester, Mich,
tells how such slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has
been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in
bed alone. After using two bot
ties of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able
to do her own work" This
supreme remedy for female dis
ease quickly cures nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working
medicine is godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every
hottie guaranteed. Only 80 cents.

streets, near the gates of a city or out
in the open field. The object of erect
ing the structures is to show reverence
or esteem for the departed. Sometimes
they are erected to other than the wild
ows who refuse to marry again. Dis
tinguished men are allowed to rear
them to themselves. Norman, however,
can build one without the permission
of the emperor. When such permission
is granted a note of it is made, in Chi
nese characters, on the top part of the
arch and the mans name becomes
famous from that time.
The arch to the memory of widow
is usually built by her friends AS in
the case of burial, the elaborateness de-
ponds upon the wealth of relatives to
a. great extent. The difference in
great measured is noticeable in the carv-
ing, especially in the number Of carved
characters placed thereon. 1t is.
seldom that an arch more than Is feet
in height is found. :" The one shown in
the accompanying illustration is about
Is feet in height. These arches are
built of either wood or stone. The stone
ones, like those of wood, are fastened
by mortises and wedges.
In country places number of them
will often be found side by side form
ing straight line for some distance,
though it is more of an honor to have
them built near temple. The widow
who decides that she will win an arch
at her death at once goes into the fam
lily of her deceased husband and begins
a life of servitude in many cases. She
is under the direction of her mother

= Ii Hung Chang is descended from a

intelligent look, in the studied reserve
Of his words, in his unimpulsive cour-
tesy to strangers, race is evident and

in his features, drawn and puckered
by the incessant preying on the mind
OF single aspiration, ever keenly alive
but cautiously restrained, one can
trace the working of that powerful
mind which guides the destinies of the
celestial empire.
At the outset of his political career
Earl Ii followed in the footsteps Of
Tseign-kwo-Fan, whom he was de-
signed to succeed as viceroy of Nan
king, and who died without leaving a
single enemy behind him; having, ac-

could give his son but little opportuni-
ty for an education. But these chances
Ii took every advantage of and chose
literature as his profession. '#
When he arrived at the age of man
hood he saw that he did not have the
time to waste in continually studying
the classics necessary to a successful
literary. career, SO he abandoned litera
ture. and turned his attention to the
profession of arms. Having successful
ly passed the requisite military exam
ination he entered the imperial army
and THENCE forward his rise to his pres
ent high position has been rapid. He
is one o. the very few instances of a
Chinese military mandarin rising to
eminence in civil life, and gaining the
title of the <grand old man" and the
"Bismarck" of China. @..-.l
In 1860 he cooperated with Gen. Cor
don in suopressing the Tai-Ping rebel
lion, being then governor of the Thiang-
Sin province. The other Thiang prov
ince being added to his rule he was Gre
ated viceroy of the united countries in
May, 1865. The following year he was
appointed minister plenipotentiary
and in 1867 viceroy of Hong Kuang and
u grand chancellor in 1868. He was the
mediator for fixing the indemnity for
the murder of Mrs. Mangary, who was
killed in 1876 while endeavoring to ex-
plore southwestern China, and was
prime minister of China up to the late
war with Japan. 1t may be here ex-
planned that Ii is his family name,
while Hung Chang meaning "vast or
namentation"-is merely personal
name, or, rather, the official form of his
personal name. He uses it when he adj
dresses the emperor, and the officials
use it when speaking to the emperor of
him, otherwise it is improper for his
colleagues to use it in his presence; it
is also printed OF. his visiting cards.
His literary name, however, is Shao-
ts'uan, or "young spice,' and this is the
one by which he is known to his friends
and by which he, is spoken of in the ma
tive. press. He is also chung-tang, or
central hail." which is the compli-
mentary title of a grand secretary. Lii
& is man of liberal views and has, on the
whole, been a fair partisan Of British
commerce in the empire Of the east.
