Every year over 100000
persons die of consumption
in this country alone. Cherry
Pcctoral would not have cured
all these. Taken in time, it
would have cured many.
A Mr.. d. P. Jolly, of
Avoca, N. Y, wrote US, few
weeks ago, that his mother
had regular old-fashioned con-
sumption for years, and was
given up to die. She tried
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. 1t
helped her at once, and she
is now completely restored to
health.
We believe Mr.. Jolly's
story, because it's only one
of thousands.
Three sizes of Ayers Cherry Pcctoral:
2, cents, 80 cents, and SIoo. Buy the
4 most economical size for your case.

Cadets DISMISSED.

That the superintendent of the Vir-

determined to break up hazing in any
OF its forms is evinced by the dis

grandson of Gen. Bradley T. Johnson;
j. Il. Schoolfield, Of Danville, son OF
Evangelist Schoolfield, and A. Julian
Chinn. of Frankfort, KY, nephew of
Col. Jack Chinn. A sergeant Of the
guard and sentinel on post where
hazing occurred are now under arrest
pending an investigation by the super
intendent, Gen. Scott Ship. There is
no court of inquiry as the best results
can only be obtained by the superln-
tendent himself when he examines the
accused culprit. At every court Of IN
quiry the accused has escaped. with
few exceptions, both when held az this

1t was seen that. a web was being

In Albuquerque. New Mexico, which

recipes and regulations laid down by
the ordinary cookbook are, it seems,
worthless. Water bOils there at 202
degrees Fahrenheit instead Of at 212
degrees, as at sea level; hence articles
of food to be boiled require much
longer cooking than the usual cook
book prescribes. On account. of the
extreme dryness Of the air, farina-
ceOus foods. such as beans, corn, etc,
lose so much of their moisture" that
they require long soaking in water

1t is matter Of common Observa-

feet. Recently a Maltese kitten about
twO-thirds grown, belonging to Mr.. j.
II. Serviss, of Closter, n. j., was
chased by a dog and took refuge i'll
a tall tree, which has almost no
branches up to height of sixty feet
The kitten assembled to that elevation
and apparently through terror refused
to descend. 1t remained on it's lofty
perch four days and nights, including
one night of tempestuOus rain and
lightning. Finally boy, armed with
climbers, was sent after the kitten. On
his approach, it ran out on a slender
branch and leaped. Mr.. Serviss
watched it descend and observed that
it's legs were widely sprawled, and
that it kept its belly toward the
ground. until, striking small branch
of a neighboring tree about fifteen feet
from the ground, its balance was de-
stroyed, and it fell on its side. No
bones were broken, but it was severe
~ bruised, and for several days it
would swallow nothing but water.
Soon it entirely recovered.

Beegnrs a Terror of China.

From the New York Herald.
All Cinnamon believe in society, not that
society that is banded together for social
amusement but the kind that is formed
for protection or aggression In fact,
China is the hotbed of societies, and there
are more of them than can be enumerated
bv the missionaries.
Perhaps the Oldest OF these societies is
that formed by the beggars. 1t is as
powerful almost as that of the Boxers,
and it numbers thousands in its ranks,
as any one can testify who has visited the
principal cities of the Celestial Empire.
The head OF the society is called king
OF the Beggars." and he rules as If he
were a protentate. He is recognized by
the government, and his orders are obeyed
implicitly by all his subjects, the mem
bers of the society.
The seat of his government is at Pekln.
Before its gates are thousands of the
members of his society, and they are re-
pusive looking crowd They fear no man
save their king and are as likely TO
clutch your coat with scaly hands as not.
The only way you can treat with them is
10 buy them off.
They prey upon their own race as well
as upon foreigners. and one of their meth

of Italy I accompanied a missionary
party to Shanghai several years ago, and,
with that city as my headquarters, visited
several of the outlying towns. The beg

While I was on an excursion to Flu
Chang, a small town about fourteen
miles from Shanghai, the hoarde of beg
gars descended upon the place. 1t was
fairly besieged. Beggars sat in every
doorway, nor would they move. and 1t
was impossible to escape them. For sew

other town to levy tribute.
Books could be written of the besgars
and their methods. but perhans their
worst offense is at the grsveyards. They
frequently refuse to allow bodies TO be
buried until they are paid. and heard
that when the mourners are obstinate tne
beggars actually jump into the grave
where they remain until they obtain the
price demanded.
