INDIGESTION Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years II has been supposed that
catarrh Of the Stomach caused Indigestion
and dyspepsia. but the truth Is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes caiarrh. Re-
peated attacks Of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach. thus caus-
Ing the glands TO secrete mucin instead Of
the juices Of natural digestion. This II
called Catarrh Of the Stomach.

Odd Iananese Customs.

Japanese ladies have been known to
do without stockings to maintain the
harmony between beautiful French
slippers and magnificent French even
ing dresses. 1 have been served by a
Japanese hosier who did without every
thing he did not supply himself-he
had a shirt, collar and tie, and scarf
pin and studs, but no trousers. And the
effect of their absence was heightened
by his wearing braces, because he sold
them. The Japanese do not kiss-if a
Japanese girl knows how to kiss it
shows the work of a foreign instructor;
she does it as an accomplishment, not
as an enjoyment. The Japanese have
no pens and ink. but they make a very
good shift with painting brush. The
Japanese houses have no chimneys, and
you are never warm enough until the
house catches fire. The japanese have
beef and no mutton; the Chinese have
mutton and no beef. Japanese bells,
like Japanese bellies, have no tongues.
Jar,anese snakes have no poison; Japa-
nese music has no harmony. The Japa-
nese alphabet is not an alphabet, but a
selection Of seventy useful kilograms to
dispense with the thirty thousand in
ordinary use by the Chinese.-Ex-
