It is both interesting 1 and import ant to know tit this juncture what is the Japanese opinion of the English man. Here it is as written by a •Japanese: "The England which occu pied of the largest and greatest do minion which rarely can be. The Eng lishman works with a very powerful hands and the long legs, ami even the eminenced mind, his chin is so strong us decerved iron. He are not allow ed it to escape if lie did sfezed some thing. Being spread his dominion ! s dreadfully extensive so that his coun trymen boastfully say 'the sun are never sets on our dominions.' The Testarnony of English said that he that lost the common sense, he never any benefit though he had gained the complete world. The English tire cunning institutioned to establish a great empire of the Paradise. The Englishman always said t.'i the an other nation 'Give me your land and ] will give yon my Te.stamony.' So it is not :t robbed but exchanged as the Englishman always confide the object to be pure and the order to lie holy, and they reproach him if any litem are killed to death with the contention of other man." Pliny Was Too Slow. Here is another case where the poets have antedated the scientists, according to the New York Tribune. Dr. Francolini, of Rome, Italy, has published a statement to the effect that the source of the Clitumnus, r. small Umbrian river sacred to tha Romans, may contain radium, basing his opinion on a description of Pliny and on passages in the works of man? writers and poets, from Virgil to Byron. The waters at the source of the rivs-r are the color of violet. The matter is being investigated by sci entists. The Innocent Savage. It is said that some of the savage tribes at St. Louis are color blind and cannot see blue.

EAD DREAMS Indicate Improper Diet, Usually Due to Coffee. One of the common symptoms of cof fee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep. A man who found the reason says: "Formerly I was a slave to coffee. 1 was like a morphine fiend, could "not sleep at night, would roll and toss in my bed and when I did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams ami hobgob lins, would wake up with headaches and feel bad all day, so nervous 1 could not attend to business. My writing looked like bird tracks, I had sour belchings from the stomach, indiges tion, heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the kidneys, etc. "Indeed, I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer, but when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as if he had insulted me. I c-uuld not bear the idea, it had cuch a hold on me and I refused to be lieve it the cause. "But it turned out that no advice was ever given at a more needed time, for I finally consented to try Posturn, and with the going of coffee and the coming of Posturn all my troubles have gone and health lia3 returned. I eat and sleep well now, nerves steadied down and I write a fair hand (as you can see), can attend to business again and rejoice that I am free from the monster Coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Ten days trial of Postum in place of coffee will bring sound, restful, re freshing sleep. There's a reason.

NOBLE "Good morning. Aunt Ruth. You see 1 am on hand bright and early for the lilacs. Aren't we going to have a beautiful day?" Fait* Antoinette, cheer ily, seeming to have caught the conta gion of the bright May morning. "I am so &lad it is pleasant, for I well remember how rainy it was last Decoration clay. I'm sorry the lilacs are a little backward this year; still, I think we shall find enough for a fair showing. Did you bring a basket?" "I did. The self-same one that has done service for the last three years. Ralph is coming for me about 11 o'clock." With that they started for the gar den. Everybody knew Aunt Ruth, and none knew hsr but to love her. She was one of those elderly women shall we say, rare? —who had pre served a sweet, happy nature, free from disagreeable habits, both of speech and manner. Although over 60 years old, she still possessed that blessed faculty of adaptability which made her a coveted companion of both young and old. Children were attracted by her cookie j-.r and a fund of delightful stories, while those of maturer years were charmed with her personality and her entertaining con versation, which ever sparkled with subtle humor, despite an unmistakable undercurrent of sadness, which at times betrayed itself in her face. Antoinette Rathbun was particular ly fond of Aunt Ruth, and many happy hours they spent together, reading or discussing the various questions of the day. Antoinette was Jnst now in a most beatific state of mind. That which makes the world go round had touched her life and imparted to it fresh enthusiasm and delight, and this Decoration day morning she seemed unusually happy. "After all, Aunt Ruth," she said, "there is no season of the year quite so beautiful tone as the springtime, when everything seems fairly burst ing with life and delighting in life." "Ah, my dear, it is because you are Just now in the springtime of life yourself. You seem to me very like that little shrub yonder, the buds just peeping out which shall so soon un fold into the perfect flower. So do I see in you the possibilities of a beau tiful and nobie womanhood. But haven't we enough lilacs? The sun is so warm!" "Yes, indeed, wo have, and I don't care to rob you, even for a good cause, I am relying upon the girls for a good ly supply." "It's your Sun day-school class, isn't It?" "Yes," answered Antoinette. "Aunt Ruth, won't you go with us? That would make our party complete. Do say yes." "No, I would rather go alone. I p.m glad, though, tliat you are interesting your class this way, for it seems to mo that children in these days have too little patriotic spirit, and too little appreciation of the cost of liberty. The decoration of the soldiers' graves means li'tle more to them than a half holiday irorn school and a happy time gathering flowers. After all, I guess it is better so. Let them nave all the sunshine possible; the shadows come soon enough to all of us." "Aunt Kuih," said Antoinette, ten derly, "I've wjuited to ask you some- CAMERON COUNTY PRESS THURSDAY, MAY 26 1904. thing for a long time, but I don't know that I ought." "Certainly you may. "What is it?" "Will you tell me whose grave yot visit so much, and on which you al ways put such lovely flowers Decora tion day?'' "You will be surprised, my dear when I tell you that I do not know It is an unknown grave, but all J needed to know was that he was j soldier. When did you say Ralph wai coining?" "Not till eleven." "Then come into the sitting-room where it is cool, and let me tell you i bit of my own life. Somehow, I fee just like it this morning." They laid down their flowers anc enjoyed the restfulncss of the co/.j room. "I'm going to lie down," said Ann Ruth, "and you bring the hassock an< sit right beside me, and let me tel you what is in my heart. "When you came in this morning st happy and light-hearted, my thought! flew back .10 years, when I wai about your age, and had just as muct to make me happy as you have now I was engaged to a noble man, and strangely enough, his name war | Ralph, too. He was a lawyer, and hit fine mind gave promise of a brillianl career. We were to have been mar ried in tlie spring of '63, but when tin war broke out his country's call ap pealed to his noblest manhood. H< didn't say much at first, but 1 knew j that the only obstacle in the way ol j his enlisting was the pain it would j give me. He was perfectly well and i strong, an added reason for his go ■ ingi Ah, well do I remember thf night we settled it! How earnestly and tenderly he talked about it! In a few days be was gone. It took mort courage than I then thought to make that sacrifice, but my sense of duty tc country would not allow me to with hold the word. He joined the Fif tieth New York volunteer engineers, company G. and at first had an easy time. The lefters were bright and cheery and full of enthusiasm, so that alter a time I grew less anxious and more and more glad that he went. But there came a day when the regu lar letter failed, and a week passed; and another, and another, and finally one came in an unfamiliar hand and told the story 1 so much feared. They thought he v as killed In the battle of Gettysburg, in the desperate chargf at the 'Bloody Angle,' where so many brave men on both sides gave up theii lives, but diligent search brought nothing more definite. I sometimes wonder how I have lived through al! these long 30 years, but you know we poor mortals can endure more than we think. I have much that is pleasant to look back upon, and much in the future to dream of. And now, about that lonely grave. He was a sol dier, too, and there was no one to care for hhn, so I love to place my flowers there, and cannot help feeling that perhaps another is doing the same for Ralph." k A whistle interrupted the story, and Antoinette stooped to kiss the dear old lady, and in a moment was gone. Late that afternoon, after Antoin ette's class had gone and the cemetery was quite deserted, Ralph and An toinette lingered at a little distance from that grave, quite unobserved hy Aunt Ruth, and watched her arrange the flowers. "Do you know?" said Ralph, "T I never saw anything more pathetic. I The men who enlisted and fought | with courage and fearlessness were J indeed brave heroes, but not an atom I more heroic than the women who gave ! their husbands and sons and lovers to die for their country, and have lived on, year after year, bravely and cheer fully hiding their loneliness and heart ache behind a happy face.

Y May 10.—Thia neighborhood is aroused as never before by some wonderful cures by Dodd's Kid- Bey Pills. These began with the case of Mrs. J. D. Wallace, who had been in very poor health for a long time and who had got so bad at last that she couldn't walk from her home to the vil lage and back, a distance of about eighty rods, without being tired out and in pain all over. She had only used a few of Dodd's Kid ney Pills, when she noticed a change for the better and in a very short time she was able to walk any reasonable distance and do any kind of woman's work with out feeling any bad effects. She has gained twenty pounds in weight in three months and is now as well a woman as could he found. She declares the Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve all the credit for her wonderful restoration.

She seldom allows herself a quiet evening at home. Her whole time is taken up in keeping engagements or entertaining in her own home. Her system becomes completely run down as a consequence. She soon finds herself in a condition known as sys temic catarrh. This has also been called catarrhal nervousness. If every society woman could know the value of Peruna at such a time, it they could realize the invigorating, strengthening effect that Peruna would have, how much misery could be avoided.
