LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon Becomes Conscious of It's
 Restrictions.

What is it. at bottom, that makes the English atmosphere so difficult for an American to breathe in freely? It is, I believe, that he 1eels himself in a country where the dignity of life is lower than in his own; a. country where man born in ordinary cir cumstances expects, and is expected, to die in ordinary circumstances; where the scope of his efforts is traced be- forehand by the accident of position; 1; where he is handicapped in all cases and crushed in most by the superin- cumbent weight of caste, convention, "good form" and the deadening artifi- cialities of an old society, comments a writer in the North American Review. That unconquerable buoyancy which infects the American air like sting and challenge, and braces every Amer1- can with the inspiration that he has a chance in life; that there are open op- portunities. unreserved possibilities. no battering at locked doors. no tioun- dering in blank alleys; that here. m short, it is the man himself who makes his career-is something which the English have so utterly lost as to be incapable of realizing it.

THE BIG TREES.
A Wondrous and Awe-Inspiring Product of Nature, Found
 Only in California.

California's attraction are mostly of it's own kind, peculiar to it's kind and of none..is this so emphatically true as that unique product, the big trees. The age of these colossi is from 1,5OO tc 1000 years.
 The Mariposa grove, which can be visited while en route to the Yosemite, contains some of the largest. In the .Calaveras grove are from ninety to one hundred of huge size. Near Santa Cruz is a beautiful grove of redwood big trees, which will well employ a days pleasant visit. These can be best reached by the Union Pacific, whose fast trains from Missouri river reach Cali. fornia 16 hours ahead of all com petitors.
 Pamphlets and maps describ- ing the wonders of California, and full information about the most comfortable and direct route to the Pacific Coast, can be obtained of

My Breath. ShortnesS of Breath Is One of the Com.
 monest Signs of
 Heart Disease,

Notwithstanding what many physic- fans say. heart disease can be cured.
 Dr. Niles New Heart Cure has per- manently restored to health many thousands who had found no relief in the medicines (allopathic or homoeo- pathic) of regular practicing physicians.
 It has proved itself unique in the his- tory of medicine. by being 50 uniformly successful in curing those diseases.
 Nearly always, one of the first signs of trouble is shortness of breath. Wheth- CT it comes as result of walking or running up stairs. or of other exercises. if the heart is unable to meet this extra demand upon it's pumping powers-thers is something wrong with 1t.
 The very best thing you can do. Is to take Dr. Miles New Heart Cure. It will go to the foundation of the trou- ble, and make a. permanent cure by strengthening and renewing the nerves.
 II know that Dr. Miles New Heart Cure is great remedy. For a number of years l suffered from shortness of breath. smOthering spells. and pains in my left side, For months at time would be unable to lie on my left side. and if lay flat on my back would nearly smother. A friend advised using Dr. Miles New Heart Cure, which l did with good results. l began to improve at once, and after taking several bottles and other symptoms vanished. l am now entirely well. All those dreadful smothering spells are a thing of the past. "-F. F. DRAKE, Middletown, C..

4 WORD OF COMFORT
 To the Distressed.

Fortunately for those suffering with Rheumatism in all its various forms, in. cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and Sore Feet, a remedy has been discovered by modern science which in every instance effects a speedy and positive cure. This new remedy is founded on scientific prin- ciples which are acknowledged by the medical world as the only correct treat ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgia troubles. Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef- feet cure without upsetting the stomach. As rule, they injure the digestive organs, shatter the nerves, and in many instances the patient contracts drug habit which leads eventually to decline of the physi. cal and mental forces.
 Paracamph is the new remedy and 1t IS a departure from the antiquated methods. Paracamph enters into the system through the natural channels, namely, the pores of the skin. When applied it opens the pores and allows the healing, soothing oils to penetrate the sore, infamed mebranes and muscles, removes the congestion and draws out the fever and inflammation, by inducing sweating. This is the only treat ment that can be indorsed by science, and is guaranteed to cure even the most obsu- nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used as directed. Paracamph can be procured at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and %r oo hot+les Write for book of testirno- nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company Louisville, Ky, U. s. A.

Shops in Japan

To start japanese shop is the
simplest thing in the world. You can
take the front off your house and ar
range your worldly possessions on the
floor.
japanese floors are raised off the
street, though nothing is raised of
them. The transient customer sits on
the edge of the floor sidesaddle. A
real shopper who means to do the
thing properly climbs up on the floor.
which is also a counter, and squats on
bis heels.
Real japanese shops have no doors
or windows or counters. Shop win
dows in England do not have much
wall in the frontage, but even an En-
glish shop window does not take the
whole front Of the house.
The japanese have not many regu-
lar shops. There are very few streets
of shops even in Tokyo, which is az
large as Berlin. Foreigners never
buy anything but curios. If they are
fools, they deal with chops kept by
Europeans; If they want bargains,
they deal with Cinnamon.
There are many Chinese shops in
treaty ports. The Chinsman is cheap
er and more reliable than the japan
ese. European shopkeepers do not
set up in Japan for pbilanthropic
reasons. japanese shopkeepers are
the lowest class Of population except
the outcssts. Servants and lsborers
take precedence Of them in society,
and precedence is the hobby Of the
japanese.
You have a different bow and a
rslutstion for a man who is below
you or your equal, and several for the
people above you. You have even
different language for each. and Ja-
panese writing wriggles like carving
on their temples.-LOndon Standard

SI.00 A YEAR.
s24, 900, 900 tor Wagon Roads.

There is a bill introduced in Con-
gress by the Hon. Walter P. Brown.
low Of Tennessee, and the Hon. Jacob
H. Gallinger, member of the Senate
from New Hampshire, appropristing
$24 100000 on the part of the Ma
tionsl Government as National aid in
building wagon roads. This money
Is to be apportiOned among the States
according to their population, except
that no State shall receive less than
$25O,OOO.
Each State receiving National aid
from the Government must add a like
amount TO the sum received. This
will, therefore, cause the spending of
$4S 100000 for roads and will build
from 6.00O to 1000 miles Of splen.
did road and will place in each State
from 100 to 500 miles Of fine hard
road, which will be unaffected by frost
or spring rains and on which the
farmer can haul the year round 1t
will be a great advantage TO those liv-
ing near it, but it will be far great.
er advantage to the whole country
because 1t will be wonderful object
lesson and will prove to everyone that
a good, hard road which can be used
the year round, no matter what the
rains are, Is a good and desirable
thing; 1t will make everyone who sees
this road and who uses 1t want more
roads just like 1t, and 1t will cause
more roaes just like il to be built.
While under the Brownow Bill the
building of 5000 to 1000 miles of
splendid road is a great thing, yet 1t
seems to many that the greatest adj
vantage of this bill Is the wonderful
object lesson which 100 to 500 miles
of fine road will produce when built
IN every State Of the Union.

Miracle Of a Russian Priest.

Father John OF Cronstadt is credit.
ed in st. Petersburg with an alleged
miracle A ST. Petersburg workman
related to him sad story Of domestic
woe. His wife was bedridden, bis
elder son confirmed drunkard his
only daughters whereabouts were un-
known, and the younger son was los.
ing his sight through disease. Father
John said be would intercede for the
relief Of the workman by prayer, and
told him be might expect result on
Christmas eve. On that evening the
workmans wife arose, dressed and
went about ben homework, which she
had not done for years. Later the
elder son entered the house, his eyes
filled with tears Of penitence and de-
claring that be had reformed. Then
the younger son arrived. stating that
an ocuhst had told him bis eyes were
cured To complete the parents joy,
the daughter returned, explaining her
absence satisfactorily. The next day
the workman received letter from
Father John, saying be had reason TO
believe that the prayers bad been
heard and asking for confirmation.

Not Worth the Difference.

One morning as Judge c., Of Blank
county, Va, was starting for the town
he was approached by one of his ne
groes, who with more or less confusion
asked:
"Massa, when yo' goes to the cot
house will you glt me license? ? I'ze
gwine to b. married.
Married, are you, Sam2 All right, y
called the Judge, as he hastily drove
off. Arriving at the court house, he
spent a very busy day, and 1t was not
until he was preparing to leave that
he remembered Sans license and re-
allied that he had not been told the
name of the bride elect.
The old idiot, be never told me
who he wants to marry but ofcourse
it's Lucinda. He's always making
eyes at her" So saying he returned to
the courthouse and had the license
made out in the names Of Sam and
Lucinda. Sam was the first to greet
him upon his return with the inquiry
"Git my license, massa p
Yes, Sam. you old fool. You did
not tell me who you wanted to marry
but remembered how you re always
hanging around courting Lucinda and
got the license in her name.
"Lawd, massa," exclaimed Sam,

"Yes, Sam; a dollar and seventy.
