CURIOUS cUcKoos.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as bird with very 1nonotonous note
a continuous cry of cuckoo, cuckoo "
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as bird
that never builds nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
SOME more industrious bird.
There is good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead of
making a success of their own, seek to
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. 1t is so with those limitations of
DIR. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised III some cases of woman,
woman, woman write to woman " makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
no1ie therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge and experience as is possessed by
Dr. R. v. Pierce, chief consulting ply
sician to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
+ N. Y. For over thirty years DIR. Pierce
has made a speciality of the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-million
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult DR.. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter is held as strictly pri-
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed in
perfectly plain envelopes bearing nc
printing whatever upon them,

mittance. Mr.. Stone claims that Flem-
ing cannot give any acknowledgements
for his shortage. Fleming says LAT he
will prove himself innocent of the
charge when the proper time comes.

The Fatal Yellow Menace
THE CHINESE MAY OvERRUN THE EARTH.
Their Wonderful Progress OF Late
Their Empire Must Be Disrupted
Now to Save the World.

A writer who signs "Old Man" to
his communication contributes the
following article to the Charlottesville
VA Daily Progress:
Editor Progress: The Chinese situ-
alton is attracting great attention at
this time and l ask permission to
make prediction, being an old man:
Senators, members of Congress, and
Fighting" Bob Evans, have all writ
ten articles deprecating the partition
ing Of China. Whilst / do not expect
to live long enough to see it, but I'M
less the powers conquer China, di-
vide her up and keep her in subjec-
ton, she will in the lifetime of my
children and grandchildren, overrun
the whole OF Asia and Europe, and
with her marvellous wealth and me-
ehanical resources, seriously imperil
the United States. Only six years
ago little Japan awakened China out
Of sleep of one thousand years. In
six years what has she done? She
has disciplined and drilled 4S5, 900
men, and armed them with the most
modern small arms, rapid-fire guns
and heavy ordnance. Her generals
have shown great knowledge OF
military strategy, and the united
forces of all civilized nations have
met with the most determined bravery.
What will this great giant not be able
to do in the next twenty-five years?
She has about one hundred millions
of fighting men. Her population is
put down at four hundred millions.
1t is nearer five hundred millions.
Granting only four hundred millions,
and taking the universal estimate Of
one fighting man out of every five OF
population we will have eighty mill
lions of fighting men. Allow this
great mass Of men (none of whom fear
death, but rather court it as boon)
armed only with sticks, what an un-
dertaking it would be for the nations
| of the earth to subdue them. Unless
the nations conquer them now and
reduce them to the position that the
natives of India occupy towards Eng
land, God only knows what the re-
suits will be. 1t has not been very
long since Genghis Khan, at the head
of these same yellow devils, came
within an ace of conquering all OF
Europe, after having completely over
whelmed Asia, and the same thing
can easily be repeated with the mod
ern appliances of war. The Chinese
are now making all the modern
weapons, and that they can be made
as good as any troops in the world,
the history of Chinese Gordon shows.
The Mckinley government is doing
great harm to the whole civilized
world in offering to mediate. The
policy of the world should be to wipe
China out from the map of the world.
! am not an ''Imperialist," but the
policy of our government should be
