Japanese Lovemakinu.

E. They certainly do things pictur.
esquely in the far East. When q
young Jap has made up his mind as
to the maiden he desires to wed his
next step is to fasten a branch of a
cretain shrub to the house of the lady's
parents. Should he prove welcome
sutton the branch is cut down and
taken in, while if unacceptable it is
left to wither and die. What lot OF
trouble such system must save.
There is another custom which. we
think. might find less appreciation in
Western countries. The Jap bride
groom, as in duty bound, offers the
most costly gifts he can afford to his
bride for their wedding day, but she,
instead of treasuring them for herself,
gives them to her parents as a slight
acknowledgement of the care and love
they have bestowed on her from in
fancy.
The actual wedding ceremony takes
place in the evening, and the bridal
robe consists of long white silk XII.
mono and veil.

HOW SHOCkING!
Parisians Mortified at American Girls
Indifference to Matrimony.

Parisians Mortified at American Girls
Indifference to Matrimony.
"HOw can married women be dis
tinguished from single ones in Amer
ica?"
This is the pointed question asked
by Hughes lie Roux, well-known
French writer, who has been spending
some months in the United States.
The American girl has astounded and
shocked him. She wears such mag
nificent jewels, he declares. as are
only offered to French woman on
her marriage. She gowns herself, too,
in the heavy velvets and silks only
known to women of forty in France.
But in the third and last proof of the
absence Of the "jeune file" element in
the American girl which Mr.. lie Roux
cites is her Indifference to marriage.
Very often she believes in having a
good time, he says, and refuses to
consider the subject seriously at all.
This" observes Mr.. LIE Roux, lis
not to be wondered at where the moth
er and father neither advise nor hurry
marriage, and where It is not preached
from the pulpit on Sunday as a duty"

Still Another Case.

Franksville, Wis, Oct. 12th.-Many
remarkable cures are being reported
from all over the country, but there
is one right here in Franksville which
is certainly worth publishing, and
which has not as yet been given to
the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison of this place
had been a sick woman for quite a
long time and could not find anything
to give her any help. She suffered all
the painful symptoms Of what is gen.
orally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story
will understand these distressing con-
ditions which combine to make the
lives Of many women one long burden
Of weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Markison CHANGED one day to
hear Of new remedy called Dodds
Kidney Pills, that was said to be a
splendid medicine for women's weak
ness. She determined to try some
and soon found herself getting bet
ter. She kept on with the pills and
was cured. Speaking of her case,
Mrs. Markison says
II can and do praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills as remedy for female weakness.
They are the best medicine l have
ever known, and have done me q
great deal Of good"

Vanity of Indian Girl.

Vanity is by no means the monopoly
of civilized womanhood and many an
Indian belle spends more time on her
costume than smart English or
French woman. Not unfreQuently a
semi-savage girl on the east coast
has a wardrobe consisting of furs
which here would be worth $4,000.
Grundeman, the explorer, relates how
one fair Greenlander wore a dress of
sealskin with a hood of that costly
fur, the silver fox. The garment was
lined with the fur of the young sea
otter and there was a fringe Of wolver-
inc tails. Seven hundred and fifty dol
lars is probably the average worth of
the dress Of Indian women on the
Columbia and Frazer rivers Graul
saw Dyak girl with a corset of gold.
1t was made of forty solid gold rings,
the smallest being at the waist and
the rest gradually increasing in size
above and below it. This curious
article of attire represented the girls

RIDDLE OF THE FAR NORTH.
One Good Reason Why 1t Should Be
Solved

One Good Reason Why 1t Should Be
Solved.
DR.. Nansen once gave a good reason
why the north pole should be discov-
cred. Because" he said, when it
has once been reached by some one
no one else will try to get there"
Since the days of Pythias, the ancient
Greek mariner, who declared that he
discovered, if not the north pole, at
least the end of the world and at any
rate sailed so far north that he was
terror-struck to find that the sun re-
fused to set, the riddle of the far north
has had many attempted solutions. On
paper Andree's theory about balloon
ing sounded plausible enough, but the
most daring and original idea was
That OF submarine boat to pass under
the ice. 1t was originally put forward
IN Sweden and was more recently re-
vlved by Herr Anschutz-Kampe of
Munich. The scheme was also serious
ly discussed by the Vienna Geographic
cal society and found good deal of
favor among experts. Submerged on
the margin of the pack ice, the boat
was to make it's way poleward under
the sea, coming to the surface when
the light showed that open water had
been reached.

diabetes, dropsy, rheumatism, Bright
disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure all
kidney and bladder ills. Read the fol-
lowing case:
Veteran Joshua Heller, of 7O6 South
Walnut street, Urbana, ILL.,, says: "In
the fall of 1899 after getting Doan's
Kidney Pills at Cunningham Bros
drug store in. Champaign and taking
a course of treatment told the read
ers of the paper that they had re-
lieved me of kidney trouble, disposed
OF a lame back with pain across my
lons and beneath the shoulder blades.
During the interval which had elapsed
l have had occasion to resort to Doan's
Kidney Pills when l noticed warnings
of attack. On each and every occa-
sion the results obtained were just as
satisfactory as when the pills were
first brought to my notice. just as
emphatically endorse tho preparation
to-day as I did over two years ago."

LIVES OF MACEDONIAN eERFs
Work Hard for Bare Living Under
Turkish Taskmasters.

Work Hard for Bare Living Under
Turkish Taskmasters.
A writer in an English magazine
gives the following picture Of the life
led by Macedonian peasants: Il Wis
ted one village (Treska), only two
hours ride from Uskub, which was a
populous Christian community fifty
years ago, where the peasants owned
heir own land. About the time when
we were putting our money on the
wrong horse in the Crimea some en-
serprising Turks swooped down on the
place, massacred one-half of the popu-
|atlon, settled in their cottages and
annexed the lands of the survivors. The
men OF the present generation hew
wood and draw water for the son of
the brlgand of the SOS, who is now
notable magnate. He allows them one
nall OF the proceeds of their labor on
The lands that were their fathers.
Inc peasants are serfs without leis,
ure, security or rights There are,
roughly, about eighty days in the year
when no good Bulgarian will do much
IN his fields Sundays and the greater
saints days. The hey of Treska has
nit on the ingenious plan of forcing his
peasants to work for him in his pri-
Vate fields on every one of these
eighty days. For this work he pays
no wages in money or kind and no
share of the produce is allotted to the
laborer."

ORIGIN
Of a Famous Human r

Of Famous Human Food.
The story of great discoveries or in
ventions is always Of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out his
plans he had to find a food that would
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew that food that was
brain and nerve builder, (rather than
a mere fat maker), was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements in
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit Of eating Grape-Nuts daily is
easily seen in a marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
system, making it pleasure for one
to carry on the daily duties without
fatigue or exhaustion. The food is
in no sense stimulant but is simply
food which renews and replaces the
daily waste Of brain and nerves.
It's flavor is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, G. w. Post, is to be seen
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts.
Look in each package for q CODY of
the famous little book, "The Road to
Wellvi1le."

The Home Waltz.

The last low strain had blended, love,

Were lost in the outward gloom;
But the waltz that bade me homeward,
love,
Is the one that fingers with me. love.
Through all the bushes now.
| murmured with the rhythm, love,
A word to the simple air;
Then my lips were mute and humble
AS they touched your golden hair.
But now, when I count your answer

In your eyes and lifted brow,

In my soul and bosom now.
An anvil sudden lighted, love,
With spark of chorus flame,
The music in me kindled
At the murmuring of your name:
And I knew your inward answer, love.
I know not why or how
You told it to the measures, love.
And the night repeats it now.
The strain Of the waltz had melted, love.
But I tarried with you there:
And the light above your doorway
Fell on your golden hair.
Good night" you said, az softly love,
As tho waltz had said,' vow;
But the last low note and whisper. love.

A NEW JOAN OF ARC.
Bulgarian Woman Causing Anxiety to
Turkish Police.

Bulgarian Woman Causing Anxiety to
Turkish Police.
For some time past there have been
mysterious whisperings as to the pres
ence in Salonica of Bulgarian lady
belonging to the extreme anarchist
section of the revolutionary party.
Her presence not only caused great
anxiety to the Turkish authorities, but
also excited alarm among the more
moderate of her countrymen, who
dreaded the probable consequences
for themselves of any violent action
she might commit. Accordingly it
was with a sigh of relief that Saloni-
ca heard the other day that this Bull
garian Joan of Arc, as she has already
been dubbed, was in the hands of the
police. She is school teacher, not
much over 20 years of age. Nothing
of a sufficiently discriminating charac-
ter to justify her detention in prison
was elected at her examination by a.
magistrate, and she has simply been
sent back to her native village of
Kilkish, where for soxe time she will
remain under police observation.
