REMARKABLE WOMAN
Famous Old Woman Of Peking to study
Language of Foreigners-Italy's
Queen Dowager to Travel.

The news that the Empress Dowager
of China has commenced to learn Eng
lish is made the subject of an article by
the Jill Shinpo. The fact says the Jill
Shinpo of an old lady nearly 20
surrounded by a court through which
the air of conservatism and self-conCeit
permeates, taking herself to learning
the language of the "barbarians" must
be regarded as an unprecedented depar-
ture.
The resolve made by the Dowager
Empress may have been actuated ny
mere curiosity, but the fact may be re-
garded as a straw that indicates which
way the wind blows. There is no dou
that the inclination shown by the old
lady, who has been known for her i'm
placable hatred of foreigners. will have
far-reaching consequences i'm clearing
away in large measure the conservative
and anti-foreign spirit which still large
ly exists among the Chinese.
Altogether it is discernible that new
light has dawned on the Chinese Court
and people, and their progress towards
civilization may appreciably begin if

SECRETS WRESrED

from nature. Nature places most
valuable things where they are
hard to get at. She concealed
the Kimberly diamonds in solid
rock. Petroleum, now used all
over the world for heating and
lighting and many other pur-
poses, was discovered hundreds
of feet under the surface of the
soil. Ages went by before men
found, and were able to mine,
coal in sufficient quantities to
take the place Of wood as fuel /;
and electricity as an available
help to us in living, is barely
more than half q century old.
Among the wonders which pas
tient and hard working mod
ern science has introduced to
the world, is the reconstruction
of that grand healing agent,
cod liver oil, in the form OF
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION.
The reader is aware that for CEN
turtles the usefulness Of this drug
has been impaired, and in many
cases nullifed by its nauseating
taste and smell. In this effective
remedy these formidable objec-
tions are entirely done away with.
Palatable as honey, it contains
the nutritiye and curative prop
critics Of Pure Cod Liver Oil, ex-
tracted by us from fresh cod
livers, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites
and the Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry. 1t is a healer,
body-builder and strength-maker
beyond rivalry or comparison.
By means of it diseases are cured
which have hitherto been Justly
regarded as hopeless. In Fevers,
Scrofula, rheumatism, Influenza,
La Grippe, Lung Diseases, all
wasting ailments, ETC., this rem
edy is successful after the old

after he came, a youth to New York, follows
the historic record with interesting and ro-
