CHINESE METHoDs.
Why Street, Nev.y Paved, Was Torn
Up by Official Order.

NJ Monnier. the French AslaticI
traveller, vouched for the truth Of the
following story Of how bis friend.
Hop Sing. a man of means and re-
finement, was on one occasion. sorely
victimizcd. Hop Sing lived in the
street of the roasted corn, as un-
savory and as I'll paved a street as
any in ali Pekin. The local manda-
rim was an intimate friend Of his, and
Hop Sing availed himself of this
friendship to press the mandarin to
have the street repaved Certainly.
at once The men would be at work
on it before Hop Sing could get back
home. A week passed, then another
visit, and so on until in despair. Hop
Sing determined to have the street re
paired at his own expense. The work
was satisfactorily completed.
The surprise Of Hop Sing was only
equaled by his indignation when on
awakening one morning he found
gang of coolies upheaving the newly
tagged street His surprise grew
when he heard from the mandarin's
own lips that the men were there at
his orders.
You see. my dear friend" said the
mandarin, Il an expecting the head
Inspector around here in few days
Now. If he were to Gee the beautiful
pavement you have laid down in your
street he would come to the conclu-
sion that there was money about, and
he would assuredly bleed every vein

ruin. Don't you see why your pave
ment really mrst come up? II cost me

FEW KNOW THIS.
Shake the Ingredients Well in the
Bottle and Take a Tedsp00nful
Dose After Meals,

Few people here know that you can
cure that dread American disease, rheu-
matism, with just common, every day
drugs found in any drug store. The
prescription is so simple that any one
can prepare it at home at small cost.
1t is made up as follows: Get from any
good prescription pharmacy Fluid Ex-
tract Dandeliop, one-half ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking in a bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. These are all simple ingre-
dents, making an absolutely harmless
home remedy at little cost.
Rheumatism, as everyone knows, is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. 1t is
a condition produced by the failure of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter, which if not eradicated, either
in the urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles.
causing the untold suffering and deform-
ity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to bea splen-
did healing, cleansing and invigorating
tonic to the Kidneys and gives almost
Immediate relief in all forms of bladder
and urinary troubles and backache.

FOR THE USERS OF TOBACCO.
Assertion That Plant Was Certainly
Placed Here for Good Purpose.

It is passing strange that, with all
the experience at command, the ply
siologists are never in agreement as TO
the effects of the smoking habit. Even
where lay opinion has been fairly well
established by the apparently well dl-
gested views of the scientists with re-
spect to certain phases of the whole
nroblem. they are wholly liable to up
setting by the latest opinion. For ex-
annie. two considerations have long
been thought to be determined-that
moderate indulgence in tobacco need
NOT he denied. and that the lad not
ant of his teens would better abJure
tobacco altogether. 1t may be assert
cd that man is not smoker by ma
ture. and certain effects of tobacco
seem TO indicate. without especial ar
gument that the longer the acquire
ment of the habit is postponed the bet
for for the human system. AT the
same time the remote antiquity OF the
tobacco plant suggests that 1t is one
