Yes August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civ ilized world. Your mothers and grand mothers never thought of using any thing else for Indigestion or Bilious ness. Doctors were scarce and they seldom heard of Appendiciti-.

WHERE cONFUCIrs SLEEPS.

Still weary from climbing Tai-schdn. l left on the following morning for
 Kin-fu, the home of COnhucius. After an easy trip through most fertile and
 beautiful country l arrived at the huge
 city wall, over which I saw the yellow
 tiled roofs of the Coafucius temple and
 of the palace of the present duke, the lineal descendant of the sage.
 The tomb of Confucius is situated
 about two miles outside of the town. and, in order not to arouse the suspf- ciOn of the fanatical population I de- termineu to visit it before entering the city. Consequently I sent one of my soldiers to the dukes secretary. pray ing that the gates of the family grave yard should be opened to me The or ders Of the viceroy had, however. pre-
 cedcd me, and on my arrival at fine gates l met some chamberlains of the duke. in great state, already waiting. After profound kotowing. they led the
 way to the most sacred spot of the Chinese empire. which, so far. has
 been seen only by one or two white
 men. Fortunately the vicar of the Ger
 man Catholic mission of southern
 Shan-tung, a most learned man and
 excellent Chinese scholar. had joined
 me on the way. and l was thus able to get translations of the inscriptions on all the numerous portals. bridges. ten- pies and tOmbs.
 Passing through the temple. which
 contains nothing but a large table of | sacrifice. of red lacquer I entered the central inclosure and stood before the grave of Confucius. Here. under an earthen mound probably fifty feet high and 120 feet in circumference, liz the ashes of the sage, or as the in scriptiOn of the stone tablet in front 1 of it says: The most sacred, the se- 1 rene sage. the venerable teacher, the | philosopher Kung."

In the French army General Gallifet
has just promulgated an order against
the sale of ardent spirits in barracks OF
camp. Degeneracy and increase OF in.
sanity among the consumers of brandy
and absinthe have forced the move
Mulhall, the statistician, says that alco,
holic insanity ''is twice as frequent now
as it was fifteen years ago, and the
number placed under restraint on &C.
count OF it has increased IS per cent
in the last three years." Every shipload
! of returning soldiers from Manila
brings its quota of maniacs.
We have president belonging to the
great Methodist denomination, which
probably includes the largest percentage
OF prohibitionists of any religious or
ganization in the country. The souls OF
many of its members are stirred over
the question whether their distinguished
communicate turns his wineglasses
down on festive occasions, or ventures
to take drop. We have a secretary OF
the navy who is president of the Massa-
chusetts Total Abstinence Society. Con-
tributions for it are annually solicited
to save few drunkards from the gutter.
Mr.. Mckinley has but to speak the word
to close every grogshop in Manila and
remedy the canteen abomination.
He can find excuses for arbitrary pow
er to the extent of multiplying the prin-
ciples of Republican government and
disregarding the constitution, but not
to clean out the saloons in the Philip
pines. Nor has the total abstainer, Sec
rotary Long, yet made his influence felt
against this national enormity, which
destroys more human beings in day
than his Massachusetts, society can res
cue in lifetime. Let the responsibility
be placed where it belongs.
This is difficult subject to handle
without offense, but it needs exposure
and emphasis more than any other as
pect OF war. Death closes the account,
and wounds OF flesh may heal, but the
soul degradation and dissemination of
vice through the great enginery of the
army entails incalculable curse. Moth
ing should stir the indignation and pur-
pose OF women like this sin against the
human race. From Cuba and Porto
Rico comes the same story. The trail
OF armies is the trail OF the serpent, and
no fine phrases like those of Bishop
Potter can for a moment obscure the
devilish work in which the countrymen
of Washington and Lincoln are now en-
gagged. Two thousand years after the
birth of the Prince OF Peace, the pious
lips, in his name, shielding the crime
and the criminals!
