solutely guilty. Li had the trio brought to his yamen. When they ar- rived they were ushered into his pres- ence and were received in his courtli- est manner. The cake was produced with the remark that 'politness for bids my tasting it until the three gen erous donors have had an opportunity to enjoy It's excellence.'
 I'd cut the cake and one of his servitors handed 1t to the unwilling guests. Each took a piece and ate, or pretended to. eat One of them crumbled the pieces and let them fall upon the floor. but the two others ate calmly without manifesting any emotion.
 Within ten minutes the two men began to show symptoms of suffering man who had not eaten: Your wis., dom is so great that I am compiled to preserve your head as a souvenir of transcendent genius
 The man was removed and prompt ly decapitated. To the two others the premier remarked: The cake you ate Is not the one you sent, but one which ] had my cook initiate. The poison from which you are suffering exists only in your imagination. I know of no better way to cure your present pain than by letting you share the same fate as your friend who has just left the room
 AS they were led away Li said to his retinue; It is pity that men who can eat deadly corrosive poison with an unmoved countenance should so misapply the talent wherewith heaven has endowed them.

Alcoholism is now justly regarded aa perverted mental condition or which the uncomfortable drink habit fs the outward manifestation. The fact that alcoholism yields so readily to suggestive therapeutics Is proot positive of It's mental origin and, an this account, It's rational treatment can be accomplished only along the line of psychic methods.
 Power of Thought in nAuto-SueRestion.
 Auto-suggestion (self. suggesHon) IS as potent in its influence as when ex- erted by another. Even when reason is dethroned, the thought held by the subjective mind (the mind of the souD having become the dominant idea' holds a power over the bodily func- tions. The following convincing Illus tration is vouched for by the Lancet, London, Eng.
 An English lady, disappointed in love in her younger years. became in- sane and lost all account of time. Believing she was still young and liv- ing In the same hour in which she was parted from here, over taking no note of years, she stood daily oefore the window watching for his coming. In this mental condition she remained young.
 Some American travellers who saw ner were asked to guess her age. They. unacquainted with her history. placed her under 29. She was,at the time, "A; but she had not wrinkle or gray hair; youth sat gently on cheek and brow. She was held by the thought of youth and love, and 1t re- tarded the marks of age.
 Imagination and Suggestion.
 The imagination may be wrought upon by reading-as instanced by. pat ent medicine adVertisements--or by hearsay, or may be wholly creative. In each case it is the outgrowth of a mental condition and the result IS that the unreal becomes the real, the ultimate result frequently proving fa- tai
 The fatal power of imagination was illustrated recently in the case of a Russian railway employe who was, by accident, shut up in a refrigerator car
 He wrote on the wall T am becom- ing colder" Later. T am slowly freezing" Still later, and the last. T am half asleep; these may be my last words"
 When they took him out he was dead; but it was found that the tem- pertaure of the car was only 5S. the apparatus was out of order. His auto suggestion working on his imagina- tion killed him.
 Imagination Extraordinary.
 The Philadelphia Press gives the following interesting and highly sug- gestion through imagination:
 'On one occasion when IL Hung Chang, as premier, was having a bit- ter fight with some of the more con- servative members of the Tsung Ii Yamen, he received, as a present, a magnificent cake which he had reason to suspect contained poison. He put the cake aside and set to work to find out who was at the bottom of the plot. The crime was traced to three men, one of whom, at least, was ab-

But it is not 50 much the purpose of this brief article to advocate the just rights and privileges due to the women of this country, although it has afforded the writer great pleasure to pen the fore going brief tribute to their worth and just deserts, as it is to call attention to the fact that when broken down in health and strength by over-work, the too frequent bearing of children, the never ending toil, worry and care of the household, or by whatever may over tax the strength and delicacy of her sensitive system, there is one, tried and proven, safe remedy upon which she may rely to regain health, strength and the power to fully enjoy life.
 That remedy is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Preseription-a remedy, made wholly from the roots of native forest plants which have been proven to be most efficaciots, reliable and safe in the cure of woman s peculiar weaknesses, period ical pains, Irregularities, wasting and weakening catarrhal, pelvic drains and kindred ailments. It is a remedy, the makers of which print it's formula on every bottle-wrapper d,,d attest its com pleteness and correctness under oath; 8 remedy devised and adapted to woman's delicate constitution by an educated physician-an experienced specialist in woman's diseases; a remedy, every in- gredientt which haS received the writ ten endbrseNpent of the most eminent msdicaf Vritete of all theNseveral schools of practicA. foh the cure<Qf woman's peculiar diseases; remedy< (which has more botGAfide Cures to it's cfedit than any other sold by SruggistS SfoRgoUan's special requirements a12Ahe ohly<Qn which contains n0 alcohol iN& make up
 Delicate, weak, nervous women should especially shun the use of alcoholic medicines which, from their stimulat- ing and collaborating effects may seem, for a time, to do good, but which, from the inevitable effects of the alcohol in shrinking up the red corpuscles of the blood, are sure to do great and lasting harm in the long run. Besides they beget a craving for stimulants which is most deplorable. "Favorite Prescrip- tion" is the one remedy for woman's ills which contains no alcohol.
 Only invigorating and nerve strength ening effects can follow the use of this famous medicine for women. It can not possibly do harm in any state or condition of the system.
 If a woman has bearing down, or dragging pains, low down in the abdo- men, or pelvis, backache, frequent

headaches, dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and easily startled, has gnaw- ing feeling in stomach, sees imaginary floating specks, or spots before her 'eyes, has melancholia, or "blues," or . weakening disagreeable, catarrhal drain from pelvic organs, she can make no mistake by resorting to the use of Dr. Pierce's ,Favorite Prescription. It will inyigorate and tone up the whole sys- tenn and especially the pelvic organs.
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully devised by an experienced and skillful physi- clan, and adapted to woman's delicate system. Being made of native American medicinal roots, and without alcohol, it is perfectly harmless in it's effects in any condition Of the female system.
 As 8 powerful invigorating tonic, uFa- vorite Prescription" imparts lasting strength to the whole system and to the organs distinctly feminine in particular. For over worked, "worn- out" run- down." facilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, "shop-girls," house-keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
 As soothing and strengthening ner- vine, vFavorite Prescription" is un- equaled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, ir- ritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, St. Vitus's dance, and other distressing, nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womanly organs. It induces re- freshing sleep and relieves mental anxi- ety and despondency.
 No woman suffering from any of the above symptoms can afford to accept any secret nostrum or medicine Of un- k'sot0B composition, as a substitute for a medicine like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which is OF KNOWN CON- PosITIoE and has record of over forty years of cures and sells more largely to-day than ever before. Its makers withhold no secrets from their patients, believing open publicity to be the very best guaranty of merit.
 Dr. Pierce invites all suffering women to consult him by letter free Of charge. All letters of consultation are held as strictly private and sacredly confden- tial and all answers are returned in plain, sealed envelopes. Address: Dr. R. V. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.

the diseased organ. Diseases are cured, when they can be cured, by their natural biological evolution. Or dinary therapeutic methods consist in putting the organism in a condition such that the restitutio ad integrim may take place. We suppress, says Bernheim, the pain, we modify func- tfons, we let the organ rest. we calm the fever, we retard the pulse, we in- duca sleep, we encourage secretion and excretion; and, acting thus, we permit nature tthe healer), or, to speak in modern language, we permit the activity of the forces and the properties inherent in the biological elements to accomplish their work.
 | Every element of the organism has, so to speak, it's center of action bor- Gering upon the brain. Sensibility, movement. nutrition, secretion. excre- ton and calorifcation are governed. or at least influenced, by this central organism which presfdes over the complex mechanism of animal physi- ology.
 Suggestion" is of special value to physicians I think Dr. Parkyn Is quite right in declaring that physi- clans study the anatomy and physi- ology of the brain, but they sadly neg feet the study of its functions.
 The chief and greatest function of the brain is to receive, associate and store away all impressions received through the senses and to reproduce these impressions when necessary. Through the mind every organ of the body may be assisted, and it is through unconscious action of the mind upon the body that so many diseases are produced and so many cured.
 A study of psychology and sugges- tion will enable a physician, when a patient first consults him, to ascer- tain the part imagination plays in the complaint. Imaginary or not, 1t Is real to the patient.
 Every careful observer knows that the function of the human body may be greatly disturbed through mental influences, and that such disturbances, if prolonged, result in fixed, function- al or nervous diseases, and that these functional Arrangements often termin- ate in organic disease and sometimes in death.
 That mental activities are capable of producing chemical and anatomical changes in our bodies is a demonstra- ble fact. It is also true that, while properly directed thoughts are always conducive to conditions of health, per verted mental conditions as certainly produce functional and organic dis ease.

 The Council manages parks. tram ways and health affairs, but not street. cleaning, pavements, water gas, cleo. tricity, markets or the police it was not fairly charged with the graft in the bankruptcy of Popular Parish by the local Socialists. It is fairly charged with running Thames steamboats at a aside only 1-2 per cent for yearly depreciation of It's tramway plant, thereby forcing a balance" favorable to public operation. It has built improved dwellings in slums It has opened parks and new streets and planned to build city hall--something that Paris ana New York have and London has
 The Moderates can stop the city hall and shut down on new parks and im- proved tenements. They can sell the Thames steamboat line, a small affair. But their only possible reversal of pub lie policy upon a large scale will be the turning over of the tramways to pri- vate operation. To this they are com mitted; and they will be luckier than New York with it's Subway, since in London no lessee will dare capitalize his lease for $7O, ,O0O. 900 of water"
 The significance of this crushing vic- tory does not, therefore. lie so much in what changes of public policy tha County Council with its limited powers may make in London as in it's wider revelation of voting sentiment If 1t is a sign of general revolt against 'muni- cipal trading" throughout the kingdom
 -it If is the common belief that pub lie operation is a failure--the results vii be far more sensational in such cen- tralized local governments as those of Manchester. Birmingham and Glasgow, than in London itself. And the world wide effect of such a change would be hard to estimate.

 Suggestive therapeutics is an es- tablished fact. It is rapidly taklhs ies place as a remedial agent Wnereves we go. and in every case or slcKnes' we witness the power of suggestion.
 Suggestive therapeutics is more than achristian Science" more than afaith cure" more than divine neal ing.n more than any "pathy" or ism suggestive therapeutics. however IS not infallible. says Bernhelm' al though 1t gives good results in very large number of cases. It may fall nvan when 1t is intelligently and per sistently managed. The cause or the failure is inherent; sometimes in the dfsease. sometimes in the subject.
 One who uses suggestion never has need to deny the existence of dlsease' but positively and truthfully asserts that the disease is amenable to cure and that recovery will follow as the result of the treatment.
 That there is inherent in all man. Kind a psychic power presiding over the functions, conditions and sensa" lions of the body, and that the power ran be invoked and controlled at will, under proper conditions, is no longer n matter of doubt by reasonable inves- tigators.
 This inherent power, known as the subjective mind, runs the entire hu- man machinery when the objective mind is either asleep or in abeyance; in fact it runs the machinery of life all the time, but runs il better when not interfered with by the objective mind in the form of adverse sugges- sions.

NeW NOrk Tribune.
 We have heard many weak, foolish and contemptibIe indictments to race
 hatred against the Japanese, but we are inclined to. think the worst of the lot is that which is now being put forward to the effect that American Christianity is in danger of subversion by the Shintoism of Japan. The fact is, of course, that Christianity is gEow- Ing faster in Japan than the Japan csc colony in America. More Japanese in Japan have been converted to Chris tianlty in the last few years than all the Japanese who have come to our shores. We have faith to believe it will continue so We have enough faith in our Christian civilization to believe it can hold it's ground, even against 1 per cent, admiXture of Jap anese.
