WATERFALLS IN JAPAN.

The waterfalls Of Japan are almost
countless. There Is one at every turn,
and where there was not one In the
beginning the Jape have made one, for
II Is their passion. Every little garden
has full or two. and 1t would not be
considered a garden ut all without 1t.
There are many very beautiful ones In
various parts Of the country. and they
ore all Of them shrines visited by
thousands OF pilgrims every year, They
do not pray to them lis to a statue Of
Buddha. but they first pass up little
paper prayer on convenient rock and
then sit down In rapt attention and
gaze at the falling water for hours, tax
ing an occasional cup OF tea at little
teahouse which always stands close at
hand.
The Japs are great at making pill
grimages anyway. When u man has
reached the age OF forty-fve, he is sup
posed to have raised family which
will In the future take care Of him.
About the first thing he does on retir-
Ing is to start on II series Of pilgrimages.
Sometimes he joins band of fellow
pilgrims. or, il comparatively wealthy,
he sometimes takes bis wife and mi
nor child and makes the pllgrimages by
himself These pilgrim bands can al

name of their city and district marked

good entertainment at a teahouse or
hotel they hang one of their banners up
In conspicuous place as testimonial.

Because everybody does no know or

coin and Secretary Stanton, we tell 1t
once more. 1t is good for use. Stan
ton had been exasperated by the con-
duct of one of the generals in the field.
He complained of him to President Lin
coin, and said he was going to give 1t
to him hot. That's right" said Lin
coin. Write him a letter and tell
him just what you think of him. Make
a clean breast of it." With heat, Sec
retary Stanton wrote his letter, and
showed it to the President. Then he
folded it to be inclosed and directed
President Lincoln said. What are
you going to do with that letter, Stan
ton" "Why, am going to send it to
him, of course" "Oh, no." said Lin
coin. "Put it in the waste basket
You never ought to send letter of that
kind. You've got the thing off your

Paris Tree-LIned Streets.

In Paris wide tree-lined avenues have
been made in every district. Nothing
of the kind exists either in London
or New York. Foreigners, who only
know the luxurious quarters, imagine
that the boulevards and avenues of the
western part of the city are the only
ones that have trees, says the Archi-
tectural Record. They would be sur
prised to see that in the east and
south-working-clas district-there
are similar broad roadways, the same
roomy sidewalks, the same lines of
trees-and that the Place de la Nation,
the Place d'Italie, the Place de la Re-
publique ard the Place de la Bastille
have no need to be jealous in this re-
spect of their more aristocratic sisters
the Place du Trocadero and the Place
de pEtoile. For the most part, the
tree employed-especially in the CEN
ter of Paris--is the ailanthus. There
and in the wider avenues, chestnut
trees. In 1890, the trees lining the
public thoroughfares numbered 84,936,
besides those growing in the public
squares, gardens and parks. But the
art of making a city beautiful must be
practiced down to its minutest detail
and therefore do not let us be afraid
to go down on the street and see how
it is ornamented, lighted and rendered
pleasant and commodious; in word
how it is furnished A promenade
through Paris will teach us much, and
in this respect American cities, New
York first of all, can profit by the OBJ
ject lesson which this is going to give
them.

Preachers Learn Trades.

A prominent Philadelphia clergy
man strongly urges all young men who
intend to enter the ministry to learn
some trade either before or after their
ordination. He has examined the
statistics of the various Protestant de-
nomination, and has been appalled,
by the number of ministers who are
without charge. He thinks trade
would be good thing to fall back on
in such cases, besides standing the
preacher in good stead in many ways

street, Akron. o., made the following
statement in 1896; he said: Ever
since the Civil War 1 have had attacks
of kidney and bladder trouble, decid-
edly worse during the last two OF three
years. Although l consulted physi-
clans, some Of whom told me l was
verging on Brights disease, and l was
continually using standard remedies,
the excruciating aching just across the
kidneys, which radiated to the shoul-
der blades, still existed. AS might be
expected when my kidneys were in a
disturbed condition, there was dis
tressing and inconvenient difficulty
with the action Of the kidney secre-
tions. A box Of Doan's Kidney Pills.
procured at Lamparter &; Co.'S drug
store, brought such decided change
within week that 1 continued the
treatment. The last attack, and it was
particularly aggravated, disappeared.
Three Years After.
Mr.. Boies says in 1893: ''In the
spring of 1896 L made a public state
ment of my experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me
of terrible aching in the kidneys, i'll
the small Of my back, in the muscles
Of the shoulder blades, and in the
limbs. During the years that have
gone by can conscientiously say there
have been no occurrences Of my old
trouble. My confidence in Doan's Kid
ney Pills is stronger than ever, not
only from my personal experience,
