CLIMATE OF MANcHURIA.
Frost at the End of october Ten
 Months of Dry Season.

Frost at the End of october Ten
 Months of Dry Season.
 The climate of Manchuria plays an portant role in the war between Russia and Japan. Up to the present, we have had but little precise information upon this point. M. J. Ross has lately given some indications as to the climate Of that region and the character of the different reasons He states that in the months of March and April there are strong southwest winds which bring with them heat and moisture At the end of March the winter sasons ends. The undersoil is still frozen at this time
 but the ground can be worked for agri- culture. April appears to De. the only month of spring. At the end of this month the sowing of wheat com rnences. Summer begins in May, and
 at the end of June or the beginning of July the wheat Is cut. Up to the end | of June rain is rare and the sky is generaly clear, while cloudy weather is
 an exception The heat reaches a
 maximum at the end Of July and first part of August. Afterwards come
 heavy rains or storms, It often rains for several days and nights without stopping. The soil IS completely
 saturated. and inundations are fre-
 quent. September lis the harvest month, while October gives some of l the finest weather of the year.
 At this time the heat is agreeable dur- l ing the day and the sky is clear, with
 bracing air. while vegetation is at it's height. At the end of the month the l first night frosts begin to appear, and 1 in November the cold weather com imences and keeps up until March.
 I At Mukden, the temperature some 1 times goes down as low as--33 degress ! F. During the day, however, the cold l is not excessive, and sometimes in the middle of winter the suns rays become livery warm, on account of the southerly position of that locality. The maxi ; mum temperature of summer is 9S.6 or l 100,4 deg F. About ten months of the 1 year are dry for the most part, and the excessive wet season only occurs dur l ing q month or so. At Niutschwang, # on the north shore of the Gulf of Liao- 1 tung, the mean winter temperature is 16 degrees F., and the mean for the
 summer 74.s degrees. The mean al-
 nual temperature is All degrees F. The
 Russian maritime provinces have a
 very low mean annaul temperature. Thus at Vladivostok the average for
 the winter is 10.2 degees F, and for
 the summer is it only 3s.9 degrees F..

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It IS In Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient dis infectant and purifier in nature, but few realize It's value when taken into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car- ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and i'm proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfeets the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antisepties in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood and the beauty of 1t is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary. great benefit I A Buffalo physician in speaking oi the benefits of charcoal. says II advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all pa. ftients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex { ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is great. ly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and although In some sense a patent preparation yet believe get more and better charcoal in Stu arts Charcoal Lozehges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

KING EDWARD AT MARIENBAT

KING EDWARD AT MARIENBAD.
 Then there was a mad rush to a cer- tain point: even the long line of those who patiently awaited their turn at the spring was broken. Somebody of enli- hence approached. Looking very much like prosperous Hebraic Wall street banker, the King of England went by with a remarkably spry gait for man of threescore.
 You look after him with the rest, and If you are very curious you join in the thronging crowd that dogs his move ments. The king is very popular The poor Polish Jews fairly worship him, for he is said to be sympathetic. As if the earth contained no bomb-th throwing assassins, the King of Great Britain and Emperor of the Indies comes down every morning of his two weeks so- journ at seven o'clock precisely. His valet hands him glass, a glass tube and red napkin. He starts to drink to laugh. Such 8 hearty, unaffected laugh you do not hear often from the lungs of a young man. Everything amuses him. He has forgotten offairs of state, forgotten, too, tedious cereno- nial. He wears a, loose-ftting flannel or tweed and sports an Alpine stalker upon his imperial brow. When he stops several thousand people stop; when he pauses to pay a pretty shop girl in the Colonnade a compliment, 3 gratified rnurnlur is heard in the vast mob. He has done a popular thing and that girl is marked for life.-James Hunakar in the Metropolitan,
