yield in such a way that not only the
attack is made harmless for the at
tackled, but that the force used by the
aggressor is turned against him and
leads to his undoing. The adept in jul
jutsu need not be a match in strength
to his aggressor He does not need
more than ordinary strength to defend
himself against the strongest oppon-
ent. Strange as it may sound, it is
nevertheless fact that the greater the
strength exerted by the opponent the
defend himself.
To become an expert in the soft art"
requires long and patient training.
Hundreds of tricks must be learned
and practiced before the student of
ju jutsu becomes proficient in the art.
Many of them are so subtle that they
battle the most careful watcher. An
expert in ju' jutsu can dislocate or break
the strongest mans arm or leg or dis
able his back or shoulders without any
apparent effort, using for his purpose
almost exclusively the force exerted by
his opponent.
At the exhibition given at the Bar
titsu" School of Arms in London re-
Gently some remarkable feats were per-
formed by the Japanese experts. In
wrestling with an English wrestler the
Japanese caught his opponents wrist,
and, by turning around so that his OPP
penent's arm rested upon his shoul-
der, he threw the Englishman over his
head, using his opponents arm as Il
lever.
Although in ju'jutsu proper no wea-
pons Of any kind are used, the methods
of the art may be applied to the use
of different weapons, including cudgcls,
swords, daggers and other instruments.
At the exhibition in London the Japan
csc experts not only showed their WON
derful skill in wrestling, but also in de-
Tense against attacks with walking
sticks and clubs.
A surprising feature of the exhibition
was that one of the Japanese experts,
who in some mysterious manner taught
by his art resisted strong pressure on
his throat. rod was placed across
the throat of one of the men. who was
lying upon the floor, and each end of
the rod was pressed down by the COM
bined weight of two men. How the
japanese managed to escape being
stangled is a puzzle, but he actually re-
sisted or evaded the pressure in some
way and was not injured.
The exhibition in London was the
first of it's kind ever given outside of
Japan.

A new preparation for the cure of
catarrh has attracted much attention
in the past few months and has met
with great favor from the medical pro-
fession not only because it is remarka-
bly, successful in the cure of catarrh.
but also because it is not a secret pat
ent medicine; anyone using il knows
just what he is taking into his system.
1t is composed of blood root which
acts on the blood and mucous MEM
brane, hydrastin for same purpose to
clear the mucus from head and throat,
and red gum of eucalyptus tree to de-
stroy catarrhal germs in the blood.
All of these antiseptic remedies are
combined in the form of a pleasant
tasting tablet or lozenge, and are sold
by druggists under name of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, and many recent tests
in chronic catarrh cases have estab-
lished its merit beyond question.
DIR. Sebring states that he has dis
carded inhalers, sprays and washes and
depends entirely upon Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets in treating nasal catarrh. He
says: II have had patients who had
lost the sense of smell entirely, and
whose hearing was also impaired from
nasal catarrh, recover completely aft
er a few weeks use OF Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. / have been equally success
full with the remedy in catarrh of the
throat and catarrh of stomach. I can
only explain it on the principle that ca
tarrh is a constitutional disease, and
that the antiseptic properties in these
tablets drives the catarrhal poison
completely out of the system"
DR.. Odell says, / have cured many
cases of catarrh of stomach in past
four months by the use of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets alone without the use of

The tablets are especially useful in
nasal catarrh and catarrh Of the throat
clearing the membranes and overcom-
ing the continual hawking, coughing
and expectorating, so disgusting and

Such, however, proves to be the case.
A few days ago I was informed by a
member of this sombre fraternity that
1901 had been one of the worst years
in his line that he could remember. and
official statistics support his statement.
During last year the number of
deaths in Paris was $500 fewer than
the average and one large firm of I'M
dertakers did $4,000 less business than
in 1900. while another showed a de-
crease in receipts of e1.60O.
The prospect grows less promising
every day.
Every Sunday there is an average Of
200 funerals in Paris, but last Sunday
the number was only 100. The reduce
ton in profits Is attributed by the un-
dertakers themselves to the exhibition.
