What Doctors Think of Wearing Rube
bers.
Here's the first law of health— Keep
your feet dry. We all know it. We
all know that pneumonia and con-
sumption always start with a cold,
and that the shortest cut to a cold is a
pair ot wet feet. But it’s so impor-
tant a matter that we can’t be remind-
ed too often, especially when the re-
minder carries the weight of authority.
Dr. Wendell C. Phillips, one of the
most distinguished physicians in New
York, was recently giving a lecture on
“Colds, and How to Prevent Them.”
It was a rainy night, and he began:
“How many persons here wore rub-
bers to-night ? Hands up.
“Not half of you. Now, that is
what I thought. Every one of you
should have rubbers on a night like
this. To go without them is to invite
colds, bronchial trouble, catarrh and
pneumonia. It is astonishing how
peopie neglect their feet. Rubbers
are fifty cents. You can save a lot of
money on the investment—perhaps a
ten days” doctor bill, to say nothing of
medicine.” ;
The doctor might have made it still
stronger and said that a fifty-cent pair
of rubbers would not only save doctor
bills and medicine bills, but often life
itself.
Don’t try to save on rubbers; |
it’s the most expensive economy iu |
‘the world, especially just now when
everybody is getting the grip.
The Vervain Plant.
Ta plant known as vervain, which |
is not distinguished for its beauty, and {
which grows now-a-days utterly disre- |
garded, was so sacred to the Druids |
that they only gathered it for their |
divinations when the great dog-star
arose, in order that neither sun nor
moon should see the deed.
Digestion
Waits on appetite, or it should do so, but
this can be only when the stomach is in «
healthy condition. Hood’s Sarsaparilla so
tones and strengthens the stomach that it
digests food easily and naturally and then
all dyspeptic troubles vanish.

“Let It Pass.”
A photograph of the czarina nursing
her baby recently appeared in an Eng-
lish newspaper, and when it reached
the Russian censor the latter was a
much puzzled official. He consulted
with the minister of the interior, who
was equally perplexed and decided to
onsult with the czar. “The best
thing I can do,” said the Russian em-
peror, “is to show this to the czarina
and let her decide.” In a few minutes,
according to the story, tho czar re-
turned and said, with a smile, to the
minister of the interior: “Her im-
perial majesty finds nothing in the pic-
ture contrary to I»w. Let it pass.”
Perfectly Wonderful.
Hattie—"Then we went to Scotland.
It’s perfectly wonderful the way they
talk the dialect.” Uncle George—
“Why, wonderful?” Hattie—“I should
think they’d forget now and then and
drop into English. I often do when
I'm reciting Burns or playing golf.”—

PERIODS OF PAIN.
Wenstruation. the balance wheel of
wvoman’s life, is also the bare of exist-
ence to many because it means a time of
great suffering. :
While no woman is entirely free from
periodical pain, it does not seem to have
been na- ss
ture’s plan
that women
otherwise
healthy
should suffer
so severely.

the most
thorough fe-

medical sci-
ence. Itrelieves the condition that pro-
duces so much discomfort and robs men-
struation of its terrors. Hereis proof:
DEAR Mrs. PinkHAM:—How can 1
thank you enough for what you have
done for me ? When I wrote to you I
was suffering untold pain at time of
menstruation; was nervous, had head-
ache all the time, no appetite, that tired
feeling, and did not care for anything.
I have taken three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, one
of Blood Purifier, two boxes of Liver
Pills, and to-day I am a well person. I
would like to have those who suffer
know that I am one of the many who
have been cured of female complaints
by your wonderful medicine and advice.
—Miss JENNIE R. MILES. Leon, Wis

{SKETCH IN THE BANK OF BRITISH NORTH

The above sketch represents the of-

dike. It is an interesting fact that

THE EMPIRE OF CHINA.
WHERE INTERNATIONAL IN-
TERESTS MAY CLASH.
The Native Is Absurdly Simple—A
Journey Through the Country is
the Passage of a Critic Through a
Vv
as
Fairy Tale.
To travel through China, even as
China is today, is as the passing of a
critic through a fairy tale. There are
uses for the pruning knife, but the sub-
tle delicacy of the local spirit impreg-
nates the mind in such a way as to
render excision impossible. There is
infinite wealth of color in the gorgeous
background, and infinite disappoint-
ment. The people in the phantasms
which the idea of China has conjured
to the mind have been endowed with
such vitality that comparison estab-
lishes an impossible travesty. The
Chinese are hopeless, but their signal
state originates a genuine fascination.
They meander across scenes that are
replete with personal interest, and they
show no comprehension. They do not
care, they do not think. The China-
man is content when he exists. He is
indifferent to Americans and Euro-
peans because he finds no use for them,
save where they are disturbing factors
in his life, and then he hates them.
His cupidity is only the cunning of a
mind that never exerts itself unless to
suit a purpose of its own. It is cus-
tomary to consider the character of a
Chinaman complex, whereas it is ab-
surdly simple. He mistrusts where he
does not understand, and he dissimu-
lates because the sentiment of the one
is the initiative of the other.
The Chinaman in China has little re-
semblance to the cross-breeds that are
found in America, Australia, New Zea-
land, or anywhere. The Chinese ser-
.vant abroad eliminates the pictur-
esqueness from his character for the
deleterious substitution of the con-
glomerated vices of civilization. He
is an admirable laundryman in Amer-
ica, a painstaking market gardener in
Australasia and an expert thief every-
In China, if his objections are
| removed, he makes an industrious but
{ dirty retainer.

Treated decently, his
character registers a vague probity
which exerts itself to the benefit of his
master against the crowd.
The untutored native in China, more
particularly where foreigners are
scarce, takes himself very seriously.
He assumes matrimony with laborious
intensity, and even his babies are
prodigies of gravity; so much depends
upon their smile that it is attended al-
most with serious consequences. A
Chinese baby, as such, never frivols—
that is permitted only when she has
achieved that pinnacle of immorality
which is the distinguishing feature of
the dancing girl. The dancing girl
trivols, and her frivolity is but the thin
disguise of those women who, while
not of easy virtue, are not difficult to
approach. At tle inn, when a traveler
arrives, she is pushed ferward; but her
beauty is unheppily not of that high
order which pays a compliment by rea-
son of its presence. From Pekin, where
the smells come from, to Si-An-Fu,
whence they spread themselves over
Europe, from the new order back to
the old, the pity is that the morality of
the country is so susceptible. There is
a self-sufficiency about these particles
of Chinese life that is singularly hu-
man. The soldier, with his length of
gas pipe, is the embodiment of that
dignity which considers itself the pro-
tector of an empire. These martial
ciphers are merely emblematic, and,
for practical purposes, they have been
too long in idleness. If they were
properly drilled and equipped, there is
scope in their physical development for
obtaining the nucleus of an army.
Whatever power protects China event-
ually, the military rabble throughout
its empire will provide her with an im-

of May last in a tent. The sketch is an
excellent representation of the primil-
tive methods of the first banking facill-

SUBMARINE TREASURE.
Gold and Diamonds Lying at the Bot-
tom of the Sea.
From the London Mail: On the
Cornish coast; about five miles from
the Lizard, it is quite common to pick
up Spanish dollars which have been
washed? ashore from the wreck of a
galleon that went down in 1784 with a
large amount of bullion on board. It
is surprising that, with all the mod-
ern appliances for diving, systematic
attempts are not more frequently made
to recover treasure from the deep. As
early as 1598 a great deal of treasure
was recovered, including the historical
golden cup which once belonged to
Frederick, king of Sicily, from the
wreck of one of the ships of the “In-
vincible Armada.” In 1680 an Ameri-
can named William Phipps came over
from Virginia to this country and
craved the assistance of Charles II. to-
ward recovering some wrecked treas-
ure on the coast of Hispaniola.
Charles provided him with a ship and
the necessary funds, but the first at-
tempt proved unsuccessful.’ “In a sec-
ond effort he was financed by the duke
of Albemarle, and this time he suc-
ceeded in recovering specie to the val-
ue of £200,000, and after paying all
expenses he was able to give the duke
the sum of £80,000 as his share in the
venture. The specie on board H. M. S.
Lutine, wrecked in 1799 off the coast of
Holland, amounted to #£1,200,000, and
the whole of this still remains at the
bottom of the sea, with the exception”
of £99,859, recovered in the year 1859.
Attempts to recover the remainder are
still being made. Diving operations
resulted in the recovery of £80,000 in
gold from the wreck of the ill-fated
Royal Charter, which took place close
to Moelfra, off the Anglesea coast, but
a vast number of diamonds are still
lying about the wreck. £40,000 in
specie was recovered from the wreck
of the Hamilla Mitchell, in the Chinese
sea, after lying in twenty-three fath-
“oms of water for upward of twenty
years, and £90,000 in gold was saved
from the wreck of the Alphonso XII,
which was sunk in twenty-six and one-
half fathoms of water off the Canary
islands in 1885. Some of the French
ships sunk at Trafalgar contained vast
treasure. .Five tons of silver plate, ex-
cluding the famous silver gates of St.
John's Cathedral, Malta, and a ton
and a half of gold plate, mostly stud-
ded with jewels, the plunder of the
Maltege’ churches, were on board one
of these ships. Not an ounce of this
treasure has been recovered.
Vast Wealth in Jewels.
The glorious pearl necklace which
the emperor of Austria presented to the
late empress on the christening of the
miserable Crown Prince Rudolph has
been left to the young Archduchess
Elizabeth, together with many other
jewels, by her grandmether’s will. The
empress’ own jewels, Independent of
those belonging to the crown, were not
long since valued at $7,000,000.
India’s Married Girls.
The latest government census in In-
dia showed 6,016,759 girls between five
and nine years of age, who were al-
ready married, of whom 170,000 had
become widows.

HYPNOTISM AS A DRINK CURE.
It Is Now Employed to Abate the Sin
of Intemperance.
Many and varied are the so-called
cures for that curse to humanity—ha-
bitual drunkenness. The latest treat-
ment, and possibly one of the most
effective and successful methods em-
ployed, is hypnotism. Naturally the
habitual drunkard is considered harder
to cure because he is in a state of per-
petual intoxication, while the dipso-
manic is only periodically drunk; but
men versed in the knowledge of sug-
gestive therapeutics say with the for-
mer drunkenness is a habit and with
the latter a form of insanity. A habit
can be cured by suggestion, while the
patient is under a hypnotic influence;
as is every day being manifested, while
insanity is rarely cured by a like treat-
ment. Therefore the average cures
effected by hypnotic suggestion number
80 per cent, the remaining 20 usually
being cases of long standing dipsoma-
nia and people who really do not care
to be cured. The patient must work
with the hypnotist, who is usually a
registered physician. He must want to
be cured and do his best to relax en-
tirely the mind and body and to go to
sleep as he is told when the magic |
hypnotizer of silver is held before his
eves. When he is asleep he is told
that he will not care for liquor when :
physician |
he leaves the place, the
speaking in a soothing monotone. The
desire to be cured, the confidence-in the
healer, the perfect rest for the nerves,
together with the physical
vided, stimulate the heart and stomach
until the patient forms the habit of go-
ing without liquor. Then he goes
away cured, the treatment having last-
ed from ten to twenty days.
he will be cured, for the greater will
be his determination. This method of
curing the liquor habit by hypnotism
and suggestion is now being practiced |
over the!
by eminent physicians all
country, and is being taught in one of
the leading medical colleges of Chica-
go. It is strictly “professional,” . for
not one of the instructors will teach
the art outside the medical
sion.
Lightning Reveais a Tomb,

on a hillock, and in cutting down the
remnants of the tree the workmen

TOLD BY FIGURES.
The costliest building of modern
times is the state capitol at Albany,
N. Y., which has already had spent
upon it the immense sum of $20,000,-

The dimensions of the capitol at
Washington are: The length, 751 feet
4 inches; breadth, from 121 to 324 feet; !
it covers 153,112 square feet. From

the dome above the base line on the
east front is 287 feet 5 inches.
The deepest lake in the world, so far
as known, is Lake Baikal in Siberia. |
While 9,000 square miles in area, or |
nearly as large as Lake Erie, it is 4,000

nearly as much water as Lake Supe-
rior. Its surface is 1,850 feet above the
sea level and its bottom nearly 2,900
feet below it.
