What Doctors Think of Wearing Rnb hare. Here's the first law of health Kerp your feet dry. We nil know it. We 11 know that pueumonla and con sumption always start with a cold, nd that the shortcut out to a cold Is a pair ot wet feet. lint it's so impor tant a matter that tre can't be remind ed too often, especially ttben the re minder carries the weight of authority. Dr. Wendell C. riiillips, one of tliu 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 np, "Not half of you. Now, that is what I thotiolit. Every one of you should have rubbers on a night like tbis. lo go without them is to invite colds, bronchial trouble, catarrh and pneumonia. It is astonishing how peoplo neglect their feet. Rubbers are fifty cents. You can save a lot of money'on the investment perhnps a ten days' doctor bill, to say nothing of medicine. The doctor miaht 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 toe world, especially just now when everybody is getting the grip. The Vervain riant. The plant known as vervain, which Is not distinguished tor Its beauty, and which grows now-a-clsys 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 noi moon should see the deed.

Hi, IWMII B. i. v . A SKETCH II THE BAM OF BRITISH HORTH AMERICA, DAWSON CITY. , iff,, The above sketch represents the of fice of the IJank of British North America, the pioneer bank in the Klon dike. It Is an Interesting fact thnt until suitable premises could be se- THE EMPIRE OF CHINA. WHERE INTERNATIONAL IN TERESTS MAY CLASH. Tim Native Is Absurdly Hlmple A lonrnry Ttarongh the Country as the Passage of a Crllle Tlirotigh a Fairy Tale. V 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. Tho 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. Ho Is Indifferent to Americans and Euro peans because he flndB 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 ot 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 plctur esqueness from his character for the deleterious substitution ot 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 where. 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 ot 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 hla babies are prodigies ot gravity; so much depends upon their smile that it is attended al most with serious consequences. A Chinese baby, aa such, never frivols that is permitted only when she has achieved that pinnacle of Immorality which la the distinguishing feature ot the dancing girl. The dancing girl Mvols, and her frivolity U but the thin dUgalse of those women who. while not of easy virtue, are not difficult to approach. At the inn, when a traveler arrives, she is pushed forward, but her beauty Is unhappily not of that high order which pays a compliment by rea son of Its presence. From Pekln, where the smells come from, to Bl-An-Fu, whence tbey spread themselves over Europe, from the now 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 ot 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 tba nucleus of an army. Whatever power protects China event ually, the military rabble throughout IU empire will provide ber with to lm cured the manager of this bank act ually commenced business on the 19th of Mny Inst in a tent.

They can be made capable, and time will show whether, once appreciative of their own fnrmidableness, they will summon up courage to wrest their land from the hands of the usurpers. SUBMARINE TREASURE. Gold and Diamond! Lying at the Bot tom of the Sea. From the London Mall: On the Cornish const, about five miles from the Lizard, It In quite common to pick up Spanish dollars which have been washed ashore from the wreck of a galleon thnt went down In 1784 with a large amount of bullion onboard. 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 1C98 a great deal ot treasure was recovered. Including the historical golden cup which once belonged to Frederick, king of Sicily, from tho wreck of one of the ships of the "In vincible Armada." In 1B80 an Ameri can named William Phlpps came over from Virginia to this country and craved the assistance of Charles II. to ward recovering some wrecked treas ure on the coast ot Hispanlola. 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 vat lie of 200,000, and after paying all expenses he was ablo to give tho duke the sum of 80,000 as his share In the venture. The specie, on board II. M. S. Lutlne, wrecked In 1799 off the coast of Holland, amounted to 1,200,000, and the wholo of tbis still remains at the bottom ot tho 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, oft the Anglesea coast, but a vast number ot diamonds are still lying about the wreck. 40,000 In specie was recovered from the wreck of the Hamllla Mitchell, In the Chinese sea, after lying In twenty-three fath oms ot water for upward of twenty years, and 90,000 in gold was saved from the wreck ot the Alphonso XII., which was sunk In twenty-six and one half fathoms ot water oft the Canary Islands in 188S. Some of the French ships sunk at Trafalgar contained vast treasure. Five tons of silver pinto, ex cluding 'the famous silver gates ot St. John's Cathedral, Malta, and a ton and a halt ot gold plate, mostly stud ded with jewels, the plunder of the Maltese churches, were on board one ot these ships. Not an ounce of this treasure has been recovered. Vast Wealth la Jewels. The glorious pearl necklace which the emperor ot Austria presented to the late empress on the christening ot the miserable Crown Prince Rudolph has been left to the young Archduchess Elizabeth, together with many other jewels, by her grandmother's will. The empress' own jewels, Independent ot those belonging to the crown, were not long since valued at $7,000,000. India's Married Olrla.

Many and varied are the so-called cures for that curse to humanity ha bitual drunkenness. The latest treat ment, and possibly one of tho 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 dlpso manlc 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 maglo hypnotlzer of Bllver Is held before his eyes. When he Is asleep he Is told thnt he will not care for liquor when he leaves the place, the physician speaking in a soothing monotone. The desire to be cured, tho confidence In the healer, the perfect rest for the nerves, together with the physical exercise practiced and the nutritious food pro vided, stimulate tho 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. The stronger the patient's mind the sooner be will be cured, for the greater will be his determination. This method ot curing the liquor habit by hypnotism and suggestion Is now being practiced by eminent physicians all over the country, and is being taught in one ot the leading medical colleges of Chica go. It Is strictly "professional," fo not one ot the Instructors will teach the art outside the medical profes sion. Lightning Iteveals a Tomb. Lightning recently brought about the discovery of an Etruscan tomb neat Votterra.
