< y "If one should in
quire of you concern
ing the spirit Of true Japanese,
point to the wild cherry blossom
shining in the sun"
Another Japanese proverb says:
"The cherry blossom is first among
flowers as the warrior is first
among men The cherry bios
som is in Japan what the rose
is in England and the thistle in
Scotland Practically it is worshipped
as the essential spirit of the goddess
Of beauty and truth and loyalty to men
and country. 1t is everywhere-on
the trees in its season, and out of
season always in evidence, embroid-
cred or painted or carved in every
possible place. It is on the kimona
Of the woman, and on the coat of mail
OF the ancient warrior. Somebody
has said that Japan is the first island
on the right as you sail from Hawaii.
He might have added that Japan is at
the sign of the cherry blossom.
The single flower, which is the
more highly esteemed, is at its best
about the 9TH of April in ordinary
seasons. 1t appears before the leaves
come upon the trees, and throughout
the season the air seems filled with
clouds of the most delicate pink.
Celebrations are held III honor of the
coming of the flower, and these festi-
walls are among the most picturesque
of all the many beautiful ones to be
seen in all Japan. The poets have
sung Of the beauty of the flower for
hundreds of years, and throughout all
Japanese literature one may find ex-
qu1site references to the blossom
which holds first place in the King
dom of Flowers.
The tree is cultivated for the flower
and not for the fruit, as in western
countries, but the people preserve the
blossoms in salt and make a kind of
tea Of them. This is deliciously fra
grant, but the taste is bitter-like the
acid taste of the meat of the cherry
stone. The trees in the groves which
are most celebrated are in the noun
tains of Yamato and Arysni-yama,
near Kyoto, and one who has never
seen these groves in all the glory of
their bride-like clothing of pink can
not realize the indescribable beauty of
the scene, nor the absolute worship
with which the Japanese people regard
this wonderful tree.
The spring festival of the cherry
blossom falls about the time of our
own Easter 1t is fact, too, that
these spring festivals have been
adapted, more or less, from the
pagan ceremonies to the usages Of the
Church. Easter is the spring festival
in the west. The celebration Of the
coming of springtime in the Far East
IS at the period when the cherry bios
som is at its best, and although the
flower is worshipped as the type OF
beauty, loyalty and truth, it still typi-
fes, more than anything else, the com
ing of the spring. and the awakening
of Nature for another year.
The old narrators of the beautiful
folklore of Japan tell how, Twice
were the waters chained, and twice the
spring loosed them to spend them

selves IN motion and in music, and
twice the cherry blossom came to
cloud the mountains with its pink, be-
fore 0 Tome was found by him who
loved her" In the imagery of the
literature, the color of the cherry
bloom plays an important partial
most as much as does the gold of the
chrysanthemum, the national flower
of Japan.

Heavy Rains3of thursday Night Add to
the Fury of the Floods on the
Fox and O'PIane Rivers.
FARM HOUSES IN GREAT DANGER.
Water Flows Over the Geneva Road Bridge
to the Depth of Four Feet and the
Bridge Is Abandoned.

The heavy rains of Thursday night
and this morning have added greatly
to the damage that is being done by
the floods on the Fox and nO'P1ane
rivers, and it is feared that the dam
age from the torrents of water will
amount to many thousands of dollars.
Thursday it was thought that the
grave danger from the rising of the
O'P1ane river was kover, but today it
is again rising. It is far out of it's
banks, and all the surrounding terri
tory is covered under water from one
to eight feet in depth. The bridge
on the old Wi1mot road has been so
damaged by the storm of water that
! it has been abandoned. The middle
pier of the bridge is all but washed
away, and it will cost great deal Of
money to repair it.
The bridge on the Geneva road still
stands against the force of ice and
water, but it is stated that water is
flowing over the approaches of the
bridge to the depth of four feet, and
it is impossible to get to it to ascer-
tain the amount of damage that has
been done.
All traffic on the Wisconsin Central
road through the county is still cut off
and it will probably be week before
the bridge near Burlington can be re-
built SO that it can be used.
The bridge over the Fox river near
the farm of Henry Runke1, was the
latest to be abandoned, and Tit was
condemned as unsafe Thursday night
It is feared that it will have to be en-
tire1y rebuilt. Along 1.-THE path Of the
swollen rivers farmers are being
forced to remove from their homes,
and in some places the waters threat
en- to carry away houses.
The farmers had hoped that the
waters would recede today, but there
seems to be no hope for any change
| until the surface water which fell
during the rain Thursday night has
been disposed of.
From all parts of Southern Wiscon-
sin the same reports of floods are
being received. A portion Of the city
| of Racine is now under water, and it
isfeared that many people of that
city will sustain heavy loss. The
Railways in this section have all sent
QUO orders that trains must be run
with great care on account of the fact
that the bridges have been weakened.
The Northwestern Railway has a
| large force of men keeping watch
over the bridges of the company in
this county, but thus far none of
them have been damaged.

have no pains, and feel much stronger generally"
 The above is fair portrait of Miss Mitchell, in the looking glass, although it by no means does her justice, as she is much handsomer than mere picture like this can portray. The fact is a woman can't look beautiful that is drag ged down with pains at regular inter- vals, who suffers from headaches, back aches, or spine-aches, frequently. Such woman soon acquires wrinkles, sal low complexion, dark circles about the eyes, and general feeling of weakness, which brings misery of mind and body. To keep one's good looks the body must be hea1thy-the feminine functions must be regular. Woman was not intended to suffer, and there is no reason why she should. A healthy body will usually be shapely body, and no means at hand will more quickly restore the woInanly functions to a healthy state than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

 THE MARRIAGE QUESTION
 Although many people marry without reasoning about it, and do not know the word yo,aaNee, they feel it and act it all their lives and are content. There are unhappy married lives. but a large per centage of these unhappy homes are due to the illness of the wife, mother or daughter. The more civilized or crl tured race becomes, doing with less and less physical exercise in the out. door air, and with the wearing of corsets and other modish customs, the more likely are the women to suffer from woman1y ills. Every woman should know what yight H5Eng is-for perfect health and fair complexion she should occasionally take a vegetable laxative such as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Backed up by over third of century of remarkable and uniform cures, record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay S5oo in legal money of the United States for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weak ness, Prolapsns, or Falling of womb, which they cannot cure. All they ask is fair and reasonable trial of their meansof cure. Could any test be more fair showing the faith of the makers? Do not listen to the arguments of the dealer that his own make is better. It means better profit to him, that's all. He insults your in. telligence when he tries to make you change your mind, to take substitute for the standard remedy which has en- joyed years of success and the testimony of thousands in its favor.
 Dr. Pierce by no means confines him. self to prescribing his well-known medi- cines. He tells you in the most con- mon-sense way what ails you, what you ought to do, what line of treatment should be followed out in your particular case, and if your case does not indicate the need of his proprietary medicine, he tells you plainly and frankly ukak yon 6o need, and the best possible method of improving your health. If you are a young woman just entering upon the duties of life, you should have good med ical advice of a confidential nature. If you're mother of children, you may want advice about yourself and how best to put your system in order that your children may be healthy. To sufferere from chronic diseases which do not readily yield to treatment, or to people who are past the youthful stage of life and want confidential advice about their ailments or their physical condition, Dr. Pierce offers to carefully consider your case and give you the best medical advice within his power. free of cost to you.
