A YOUNG LADYs LIFE SAVED.
At Panama, Colombia by Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy.

DR.. Charles H. Utter, a prominent
physician, of Panama, Colombia, in a
recent letter sta tes Last March 1
had as patient a young lady sixteen
years of age, who had a very bad at
tack of dysentery. Everything 1 pres
cribed for her proved Intellectual and
she was growing worse every hour.
Her parents were sure she would die.
She had become so weak that she could
not turn over in bed. What to do at
this critical moment was a study for
me, but 1 thought of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and as a last resort prescribed it. The
most wonderful result was effected.
Within eight hours she was feeling
much better; inside of three days she
was upon her feet and at the end of
one week was entirely Well" For sale

COoIS the Blood BISHOP RESTARICK

Hot weather takes the life out of
everybody. You become languid, de-
bilitated, nervous, depressed. You
lose your appetite and you have indi-
geStion. Your blood becomes impure,
your head aches, your nerves are weak,
and you are tired all the time. You
want something to purify your blood
and make it cool and healthy.

nance publish an identical article on the
note of NJ. lie White, the Minister OF FL
nance, regarding the Brussels sugar

with earthen ampohorae, belonged to

the shops, with an oven in the center;

California Senator Tells Of HE Meet
ing with Oscar of Sweden.
Senator Perkins of California, who,
to quote his own words, is a sailor by
profession, a merchant by necessity
and politician by accident, has had in
his life more adventures than fall with
in the experience Of an ordinary man.
Perhaps this is because Senator Per
kins followed the sea for so many
years. One Of Mr.. Perkins most inter-
esting adventures was his meeting
with King Oscar Of Sweden and Nor
way.
II was quite boy then" said the
Senator, telling the story recently. Il
had sailed in the good ship Luna from
New Orleans to Sweden with cargo
Of cotton, and while the ship was in
port l thought would like to see the
royal palace in Stockholm. One Sunday
afternoon, in company with a sailor
named Harry Branscombe, an English
man, we went up to the palace. Boy
like, We wanted to get into the grounds,
and so we crawled through waste
pipe, which ran through the walls
around the palace park. AS soon as we
got inside, however, we were arrested
by the gendarmes, and as we did not
know a word Of Swedish we were in a
sad plight.
Presently" continued the Senator,
"a party of distinguished people came
along and seemed interested in our
trouble. One person in the party spoke
English. He asked us what we were
doing in the Kings park. l told him
that was an American boy, who want
ed to see the king and how the king
lived.
But, don't you know he said, that
you might be put into prison for tres
passing?
"'Oh' said, 4 don't want to hurt
the king; only want to see him.
81 am King Oscar was his reply.
"and then," added Senator Perkins, 81
learned that was really in the pres
ence of the monarch"
what happened to you then?" ask
ed his listener.
1.-THE king" he replied, "sent soldier
with us to show us the palace, and we
had splendid time. But that wasn't
the sequel to the story. Thirty years
later. when l was governor Of Califor-
MIA, I went off ON a little cruise on a
yacht, and who should be sailor on
the yacht but Harry Branscombe. He
knew me and knew him, although we
had not seen each other for thirty
years. l took him up to San Francisco
and gave him a place on one Of my

SAD FATE OF HINDU GIRLS.
The Natives Rid Themselves of Too
Many Daughters.

The Natives Rid Themselves of Too
Many Daughters.
A Capuchin monk engaged in mis-
sionary work in Nepaul writing of
Hindu family life, remarks that it is
very difficult for parents to make ad-
vantageOus matches for their daugh-
ters. The Hindus therefore find means
Of ridding themselves Of too many
daughters by numbering them. 1t is a
well-known fact that Hindus of high
birth, says the Pail Mall Gazette-those
who are called Rajputs-caused their
daughters to be put to death after their
birth by men specially engaged to do
so. This criminal custom had become
SO universal that in 1S4O in the seventy
three villages of the Allahabad district
there were only three girls under l.
years of age, and three years later in
the town Of Agra there was not one to
be found under that age. All had been
put to death.
The English government have very
naturally passed very severe laws
against this abominable crime, but to
evade them the Hindus allow their
girls to live until the age of II, after
which they do away with them by ad-
ministering poison in small doses. Ori-
entails are past masters In the art of
poisoning, and after some minute in
quiries it transpires that in many dis
tricts twenty-five out of every 100 girls
have been got rid Of in this manner
Those girls who have been spared they
marry very early, generally between
IA and Is years, and that not according
to their own choice, but by the will OF
their parents, which is decisive. An In
dian family Of good rank could not
keep an unmarried daughter. 1t would
not only be public shame, but also a
crime against religion. To procure hus-
bands for those who have not already
found them, there are a number of
Brahmins, old and decrepit, called
Kulin Brahmins. who 60 about with
