 Suddenly he leaned forward, thrust his face close to mine, and in the most indescribable manner hissed through his teeth: "Ichi-bu! ichi-bu!"

 No, l can't, and I'm hanged if I ever will!" and with that turned away, and the negotiation was at an end.
 Now, what do you think was the matter with the old fellow? Why. he was not only a little touched in the upper story, but he knew nothing of the cash system of his country later than the vintage of 1S6S He had been left to tend the shop for a few moments, and as usual 1 fell a vic tim to the change of circumstances. Let it be said, that, according to Del mar, the standard formerly was, as in China, the small round iron or bronze coins with the square hole in the center which were of three denom- nations: First, the mon; second, the bunkyu; third, the shi-mon. The shi was an oblong silver coin, and the ichi-bu another; the latter being equal to four shi. Kan-ye means the era of coinage; but the era on the old coina does not indicate the age of the coin. For example, coins made about 1860 bear the name of the era kanye
 The manufacture of all these ceased at the beginning of the present era of Meidji, that is to say, the 25th of January, 1868, which was the year when the present emperor assumed sovereign power. The mon is now valued at one rin, and the bunkyu at one and one-half rin. The old gold coins and the oblong silver ones are only to be found in the curio shops.

 Not long ago a well-known educator ln this state (California) extended lis investigations to the extent that he heard, or thought he heard, voices. He lost his mental balance. reason abdi cated her throne and he ended lffe's ht1ul dream by his own hand. Thus Dr. Jekyl changed himself into MT Hyde once too often.
 Possibly the greatest stickler in tbe minds of spiritists is the query so of ten propounded by them, viz: 'If tive embodied spirits can communicate With each other by means of telepathy why cannot disembodied spirit com, munlcate with an embodied spirit in the same way?"
 This is usually supposed to be a set. tier. It is, from the viewpoint of the splrltlst because his mind is settled when he asks it. No amount of argu ment can ever convert a deep-dyed-in. the-wool spiritist.
 Ihls important question is best an. sWered in Dr. Hudson's own words: 7:
 AS for myself, 1 do not know why they cannot-I do not even know that they cannot-so communicate. The question is, Do spirits of the dead com. munlcate with the living through me. diums?"
 Throughout the who field of inyesti. gation, including every phase of spirit. Ism eXtant, and with unbiased judg. ment, have 1 sought and sought in vain for the proof that spirits do So communicate. I have been personally acquainted with the very best and most prominent mediums in this coun. try, but l have yet to meet one that has been able to give me any intelli. gent or definite message of the beyond from that bourne whence no tra :. eler returns
 nave every reason to believe that Christ had full, accurate, intuitive knowledge of every attribute of the human soul. l further believe that in the parable of the rich man and Laza. rus we have a full, clear, concise and definite expression as to His view of spirit return.
 Note the following expressions and see now significant and unmistakable are the utterances,-'betWeen us and you is great gulf fixed; so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot, neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence" Also though one rose from the dead" etc.
 Mark well that word though and see what it implies. What is the con- cluslon to which we must naturally arrive? l believe it will be the gen. eral consensus of opinion that if Christ considered it possible for spirits of the dead to commune with the living He would have taken this occasion to i'm. part the information. Not having done so, the import of the parable is that It is neither possible nor expedient TOT any purpose whatever, for spirits of the dead to communicate with the living

The picture man gifts another good picture of 'Stub-foot, an then goes up the lawyers tree, and just then De Pyster shoots again, and drops old 'Stub-foot' with a bullet through the fore-quarters that busts both shoulders and lays the old feller out as helpless as a sick kitten.

 Fer little while we thinks he's stone-dead, but bime-by he rouses little. and my lawyer he jerks paper out of his pocket and fountain pen, and he says, he'll jist be able to sign the dyin' declaration, he says, and so he sticks the fountain pen in the bears right paw, my lawyer reads the declaration to him. and with me help in, old 'Stub-foot' signs this here paper with his mark, and then finally tumbles over, havin' passed in his cheeks right proper.

pains across the back and was very
nervous; was tired all the time and
unable to attend to her household

was such that there seemed to be 40

she bought three bottles of Quaker

she had taken the frst bottle, passed
a monster tapeworm about 80 feet
