Japanese Patriotism.

A correspondent of the ''Times' an
Toxic, says the London Spectator, tells
a remarkable story. Three hundred
years ago a member of the Tokugawa
clan received from his father the pro-
vince of Dwarf. and number of little
statues of horses cast in gold. He W s
directed to preserve them until some
national emergency arose, and though
feudalism fell in 1874 and the home OF
Dwarf became comparatively poor, lis
successive heads religiously obeyed the
order of their ancestor until a shor t
peroid ago. Then the family, believ
ing that the emergency had arisen,
transferred the secret hoard, 900
pounds, to the national treasury, after
wards publicly informing their ances-
t)r's spirit that the trust had been
faithfully performed. The patriotism
but we are not sure that The secrecy
maintained for ages, the absolute
honesty of ten successive generations,
and the absence even of the wish to in
crease the trust by investment are not
better clues to the national character.
A British family might have carried
out trust as loyalty, though it would
have questioned at heart the right of
the dead man," but it would have
boasted of the trust, and, having sold
the gold horses, would have spent the
interest on itself, keeping only the prn-
cipal for the States need

zeal Survey, who has charge of the
collection of data concerning artesian
water in the eastern half of the coun-

uses of the artesian waters and springs
of Virginia. The preliminary inveti

with the expectation that they will be
completed in the latter part OF the
summer of 1905 SO that repert may
be issued before the close of that year.
Virginia is rich in artesian water
resources which await development.
It is hoped that q marked improve

An old lady from Beaver county took
her first railroad trip last week She
noticed the bell cord overhead, and
turning to boy, she said: Sonny,
what's that for?n That. marm," he
said, with mischievous twinkle in his
eye, ''Is to ring the bell when you want
something to eat" Shortly afterward
the old lady reached her umbrella up
to the cord and gave it a vigorous pull,
The whistle sounded, the brakes were
pulled on, the train began to slacken
its speed, windows were thrown up,
questions asked, and confusion reign
ed among the passengers. The old
lady sat calmly through it all, little
dreaming that she was the cause of the
excitement. Presently the conductor
came running through the train and
asked: Who pulled the bell?" Il
did," replied the old lady, meekly
Nv hat do you want?" asked the con-
ductor impatiently. WELL" said the

In late years men have made fortunes out
OF the tailings Of gold mines. The mills in
which the ore formerly was crushed and the
crude processes then in use allowed q large
percentage OF tho precious metal to escape
and that loss amounted in some cases to a
fortune. The stomach is just like a stamp
mill in this respect, that when it is not in
perfect order it allows the escape and waste
OF much Of the precious nutriment contained
in the food. That loss when continuous
means the loss Of mans greatest fortune
health. Science offers a remedy for this
condition in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t corrects the weakness of the
stomach, prevents waste and loss of nourish-
ment, and puts the stomach and organs Of
digestion and nutrition into a condition of
health which enables them to save and ASST
milate all the nutriment contained in the
food which is eaten. In all cases Of consti-
patton the use Of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets will speedily and permanently cure the
disease.

1t IS much easier for woman to confde
IN the average man than in the average
woman. She knows that the man will re-
spcct her condolences and keep them to
himself. He is strong, has more experience
of the world and can help the woman who
needs advice. There is every reason WHY
women should not trust their delicate
constitutions in the hands of unskilled
persons. 1t requires thorough medical
education to appreciate and understand
the womanly organism. When a woman
has ills and pains that she cannot bear
when life seems dark for every woman,
she should confde her troubles to a
physician of standing in the community,
or one who has national reputation. Ger
tainly 1t would not be the part of wisdom
to cortde IN an ignorant person without
medical education simply because she was
a zVoman. There is every reason why she
should write to some great specialist one
who has made the diseases of women a
specially for third of century, like DR..
r. V. Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y.
All his correspondence is held sacredly con-
hdent1al, and he gives his advice free and
without charge.
So uniformly successful has DR.. Pierce's
Favorlte Prescription proven in all forms
OF Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling
OF Womb, and Leucorrhea, that, after curing
the worst cases of these distressing and
debilitating ailments, Dr. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be
used with rFavorite Prescription" when.

output, and says that the Virginia coal
now sells in competition with Penn

far the market has been readily absorb
