falling into ruin. In it is the library
where rumor states the most mag
nificent collection of books in exist
ence is placed.
One trembles at the thought of the
destruction which may be created by
single shell when once the armies
meet in the sacred city of the Man
chus. Never since the burning of
the library at Alexandra has such
world treasure laid open to the
hands of the vandals.
In the palace lies great treasure.
Whenever. Manchu emperor of China
has died his personal effects have
been stored in this palace at Mukden.
There are to be found, carefully
stored away in locked and sealed re-
ceptacles, the garments and the jew
elry, the war helmets and the weap-
ons of the dead emperors of China
since ever a Manchu sat upon the
throne in Picking.
The most magnificent pearls ever
! have seen in my life lie in the
treasure house Of Mukden. One string
of 10 pearls has not one jewel small
er than a hazel nut. The pearl sur
mounting the war helmet of one of
the dead monarchs is larger than a
pigeons egg. Not only are there
pearls, the favorite jewels of the
orient, but there are sapphires and
rubies and diamonds of rare water
and enormous size,
The wealth of magnificent silks
and gorgeously embroidered gowns
lying in the palace at Mukden is be-
yond the calculation of the westerner.

of the ages, are stuffed away in cam

MGKDEN, Manchuria, Nov. IA
China is a curious country in which
the houses of the living are built to
meet the dimensions of the mansions
of the dead All wood in China is cut
into coffin lengths, with the conse-
quence that Chinese roof poles, doors
and windows all bear a fixed proper
ton to the accustomed length of a
sarcophagus.
What is true of the individual
houses is true of the village and the
town. The one sacred spot is the
graveyard, and the convenience of
the living is wholly sacrificed to the
sanctity of the dead.
Mukden owes its importance to its
being the guardian city over the
tombs of the founders of the Manchu
dynasty. Originally a stone walled
city of about a mile across, standing
four-square to the compass, it has
stretched outward on all four sides
to a mud wall some mile and a half
pSyoiu tIlt SliS SdttS.
Gradually there is growing up
around and outside of that mud wall
n third suburb of houses. This out
ermost fringe points principally to-
wards the railway station and the
houses of the administration-the
Forbidden City of the Russians.
From the Western Gate to the rail-
way station is a distance of some
1000 yards. Here, in little stone
built houses, are installed the officers
of the commander-in-chi general
staff The houses are small and ugly
and comfortless; cold in winter,
ropatkin himself lives in a railway
car on a siding.
Here are all the evidences of an
active army at the front--galloping
weary ambulance men and tortured
wounded, marchings and counter
marchings of battalions-all the hor-
rid carnival of the war demons.
In the city proper a very different
scene maintains. The building of
greatest Importance is the wide
stretched imperial palace, rooted with
the glazed tiles of imperial yellow.
The palace covers about fourth
OF the entire area of the city of
Mukden. 1t consists of great court
yards, fanked by treasure houses fast

A xATuRA1 RESULT.

It is very Reasonable to suppose IL
the foundation of a structure was
removed that the building itself is
bound to come down. This same prin-
ciple can be applied to disease. Take
medicine into the system that will
remove the cause Of sickness, and i'll
ness will leave of itself. Dyspepsia,
indigestion, sick-headache and bill
iousness have their foundation in
stomach disorders. Remove this
weakness and the other symptoms
are no more. There is one cure for
this that all druggists sell for 25C
per box. 1t Is DR.. Gums Improved
Liver Pills. They get right at the
beginning of these diseases and make
the cure by taking away the cause.
For sale by all druggists.
