JAPAN IS SATISFIED.
Settlement of the Korean Question
Pleasing to the Masses.

Toxic July 25.-The manner in which
the news of the convention between ia
ed is indicative of satisfaction 1t is felt
among the well informed that Japan
might have been more exacting in her
terms, curtailing even the Korean i'm
perial authority by issuing the rescript
subject to the approval of the Japanese
resident general. The avoidance of such
a demarfd it is believed, was purely out
of consideration for the prestige of the
Korean court. The extension of the pow
err of the resident general so that he may
appoint his nominees to responsible posi-
lions in the Korean government is espec-
daily welcomed in Japan one of the
surest means of preventing the adoption
of any measure hostile to Japan or det-
rimental to the interests of Korea. 1t is
expected that the free hand Japan is
now able to exercise in Korea will soon
be manifested by the peaceful develop
ment of the peninsula and the mainte-
nance of order in the far east.

Matthews, land I feel certain that I
never again will be subjected to the
horrible experiences that I have gone
through in the last two weeks. / am
now writing a lecture on The Under
Dog For fifteen years have been a
Baptist minister and lecturer, and
have spoken in sixteen states, my SUB
ject generally being The Ups and
Downs of Life I am going slow in
this new subject of mine, that the So
called under dog should not be de-

the world. but that an effort should
be made to uplift him and better his
condition. He is not what he is. as
rule. through any criminal or degen-

better themselves. and that is why
they should be aided.

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the &c., rious Consequences of Neg lect.

"Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor" remarked sal1ow- faced, sick1y looking man, entering a prominent physician's office the other Jay.
 fhe doctor stepped to his medicine ease, took down a couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake we'll and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Such cases are frequent" replied the doctor in answer to a question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious i'll those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and it is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis. eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the na1aria1 germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good condi- tion by taking reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at fre- quent intervals during the sick1y season.
 A dose of Prick1y Ash Bitters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prick1y Ash Bitters is known every. where as a system tonic and bowel regu. 1ator. It not only removes all traces of sualaria1 poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
 "Prickly Ash Bitters is the best all-around medicine for the family ever used. During the past ten years have always kept it in my house. Whenever any of my family show signs of ma1a- ria, kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation well and hearty agaiu.-W. H. McW1LLIAMs Pickering, La.

The Joke Was on Her,

A woman member of the bar in New York gives to our correspondent the following correspondence with the res ervation that no names shall be quoted.
 Il am one of the few women'' she says, "who can see q joke even if aim ed at myself. I do not feel that in this case I came off first best.''
 The first letter was from a man law yer and was as follows:
 Dear Miss Blank-We agree to the com promise as proposed in your favor of this date. Not because your client has just right to such settlement, but from tho fact that we do not care to open con test with a woman lawyer.
 To which this reply was sent:
 Gentlemen--I note yours agreeing to a settlement. although I cannot congra tu- late you on your gallantry in begging the question. Like the original Adam, you seem inclined to hide behind q woman s pettfcoat.
 And the following letter closed the correspondence:
 Dear Miss Blank-If you will turn to the early pages of Genesis you will discover that Eve did not wear a petticoat.

A certain young man took his best girl to the theater. During the evening she complained of not feeling well, and they left before the show was over He took her home, and when he said good night the girl was pretty sick Next day 1t turned out that she had diphtheria. Then the young man began to wonder if he was booked for a siege with the disease too. He called on a physician he knew to ask about 1t.
 The physician heard the young mans tale. "Well," said he at the conclusion of it, "I think your chances to catch the disease depend on how you said good night to the young lady"
 The young man was quiet moment. Then he said: Doctor, Pm much oblig- ed. If that's the case, I'm not in dan ger''
 The young man went out. A minute later he stuck his head in the door. Say, doc," he said, "diphtheria don't go very hard with strong, healthy young men, does it?'-Denver Post.

A Monster Rodent.

The Brazilian capybara is large. stoutly built rodent Imagine a rat weighing 2S0 pounds with huge head an upper lip foot long and close set eyes and one has an idea of the beast. He is the largest of the rodent tribe and has harsh, coarse hair, more like bristles than fur. This hair is mixed black and yellow, of dingy appearance In his native haunts the capybara has a huge, fat stomach which almost drags on the ground. He is a water loving animal and can dive and stay under for eight or ten minutes at d time. The jaguar of South America preys upon the capybara, and the h. dians kill him for his flesh, which when smoked is said to be as delicious as Kentucky ham. although it has a certain husky flavor. The capybara makes a sound when alarmed some what between dogs bark and a pigs grunt. He was once called the hydro choerus. or water hog, and lives on q vegetable diet.

Yoothpicks,

Toothpicko were in common use ln ancient Rome. Sometimes they were made of quills, but preferably of the wood of the mastic or lentisk tree, whose astringent and aromatic gum is known to modern dentistry. Martiars epigrams frequently mention the den- tiscalpium, or toothpick, and recon mend the wooden kind above the quill The toothpick was taken to England by travellers from Italy and France.
 As Mares says, "The using of it in public was long deemed an affected mark of gentility." Shakespeare takes this view when he makes one of the characters in King John remark:
 Now, your traveller
 He and his toothpick at my worship'e
 mess.
 And when my knightly stomach is suf-
 feed,
 Why. then I suck my teeth and catechise My picked man of countries.
 The most fantastic use to which the toothpick has ever been put was the sixteenth and seventeenth century fash lon of wearing 1t in the hat as tro- ply or an ornament.

ls the Tree Falls, Whst of the Ivy?
 We hear g great deal about the mod eeu girl developing manufacturers, inde- pendence and losing her femininity. A gEeat many people are much alarmed because girls are not trained, as for merly. in womanly sentleness. It is . beautiful figure of speech to describe the feminine character as the ivy which clings to the masculine oak for support and in return covers and beau t0as its hideous knots and scars.
 But if the oak falls what becomes of the ivy?
 There Is too much of this ivy clinging an4 beautifying idea in training girls. 3n1y should be taught that it is just as necessary to be independent, to be self supporting, as to be able to cling and beautify. In other words, they ought to be able to stand alone if the tree falls and not go down with it, Success Magazine.

Great Pigeon Cities In the swamps.

Great Pigeon Cities In the swamps.
 Each spring in May all the rosy gulls of wide region somehow agree to re sort to particular one of various marshy lakes for the purpose of rear. ing their young. Just how they decide the important question is not for us hu- mans to know. At any rate, what they do select is great area of grass, reeds or rushes growing out of the water, and there, out of the abundance of dry stems, each pair builds partly float ing nest, side by side with others. thousands upon thousands of them. These great "cities" of the prairie pi- geon present one of the most dramatic, spectacular sights in the bird life of this continent, comparable in way to the former breeding "roosts'' of the real wild pigeon.-Herbert K.
