Constitution for China.

China's emperor has announced that
1t has been decided that the interests
OF the empire demand the granting
OF many reforms and eventually a
constitution, the latter to be formulat-
ed when the people have ben suffici-
emily educated. The question OF re-
forms and Of a constitution Is being
studied by Chinese commissioners
who have been visiting Europe and
America. and the emperors announce
ment is the result OF their observa-
lions and reports. The granting OF a
constitution TO China may not he very
remote. The fact that Japan has been
working under one for some years and

The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-

women arise from some arrangement
OF the female organism.
Do you experience Ats Of depression

extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected. so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
