of the Stomach.

Ms. A. L. LEWIS, of Springfield Mass., says —
A ieadingjphysician told me that I had a cancer in the stomach. l suffered terribly,
could eat not ng but llf'l‘ll’. broth which would stay on my stomach only a short time; I

was very bilious and nerdous, and thought that I must die. One day when my doctor

called he told me that he could do no more for me; he said he had no confidence in pro-
prietary medicines, but that it would do no harm to try

'CLOVER BITTERS,

that he had examined the formula, that it was purely vegetable and could be no better.

I sent to my druggist for a bottle and used it. To my sumnse, it gave me relief. Dur-
ing the ast nine months I have used six bottles, and to- y I am a well man, and am
thankfu to say that CLOVER BITTERS has cured me; and I do highly recommend

’5 for any stomach trouble.

r A mam FROM stew; "

Once from the parapet of gems and 2101'.
An angel said: “O, God, the heart grows
cold '

On these eternal battlements of gold,
“’here all is pure, but cold as Virgin snow.

Here sobs are never heard; no salt tom
flow;
Here there are none to help—nor sick, nor
old;
No wrong to fight, nor justice to uphold;

low." ,

“And then annihilation?" God replied.
"Yes,:’ said the angel, “even that dread
price;
For earthly tears are worth eternal night.“
“Then go,” said God. The Angel opened
wide
His dazzling wings, gazed back 0". {Heaven

And plunged forever from the walls of Light.

DIVORCE IN JAPbiV.

Causes as Compared \Vith Those of Other
Countries.

Grounds for the divorce of wives in
Japan are reduced to seven fixed causes,
in which the most serious incentives are
outbreaks of disobedience qr temper
against a father or mother-in-law; jeal-
ousy is next in importance; annoying in
any wise the peace of the husband’s kins-
men, gossip and over loud talking and
quarreling at home, stealing and leprosy
are mentioned also as just reasons for
legal procedure agaidst a, wife. Appar-
ently no question of propriety on the
wife’s side or provision for her future
support are considered and the father
always takes the children, which is a
plain injustice. 0n the whole, however,
reasons for divorce in Japan are not more
frivolous than in many other countries
that esteem themselves vastly her su-
periorfiin point of civilization. In Italy,
and South Carolina only of all our
States, is death alone the legal dissolu-
tion of marriage vows. Our common plea
of incompatibility of temper is certainly
synonymous with the first four Japanese
causes.

In Massachusetts and Mississippi the
habitual use of opium permits divorce.
In France a wife who, for no apparently
good reason, refuses to accompany her
husband to the theatre can be brought to
the divorce court. In Portugal 3. wife
may not publish her literary work with
out her husband’s consent, and both in
France and Portugal a wife can be forced
to accompany her husband on any and
every journey he takes, provided he does
not go beyond the boundaries of the
country. Certainly, then, Japan can im-
prove her divorce laws very slightly by
studying those of her sister nations, and
asaJapanese wife can in turn divorce
the husband who thrusts an unpleasant
mother-in-law on her there seems no need
of deploring her condition.

JAPAN’S EMPRESS.

Her Great Interest in the Cause of
Woman's Enlightenment.

The Empress of Japan is a fragile but
beautiful little woman, and has done a
noble work for her people. She loves
them as a mother loves the babes at her
knee. Her whole life has been given to
good works.

She is highly educated. She did what

’no empress in the world’s history has

done. Out of her own funds she estab-
lished free schools for girls of the Empire.
She thereby acquired a new title to
the respect and gratitude of the civilized
world.

Then, too, she erected a. magnificent
college for women. It is a beautiful
building, almost a palace, and stands
near the famous Temple of Confucius in
Tokio. The empress presided in her
sweet, modest, womanly way and made
an address full of heart and womanly
sympathy with the women of her nation,
for whom she desired higher education
and privileges.

ADVISED HIS CLIENT TO ABSCOND.

Wanting Business Badly this
Lawyer was Honest.

The young man had been admitted to
practice at the bar. He sat within the
bar inclosure, speculating upon the
chances of clients coming to him, by mis-
take or otherwise. He heard his name
spoken and started to his feet.

“Mr. De Novo, the prisoner at the bar
is unable to employ counsel. W'ill you
defend him?”

“Certainly, your Honor. May I go with
him to the bar office for a few moment’-
consultation?”

“Yes, sir: and give him your best
vice.”

A hardly perceptible sneer curled his
Honor’s lips as he uttered these last
words, but the young man did not appear
to notice it. Motioning for the prisoner
to follow him, he passed into the other
room. The door was closed, and for ten
minutes the lively clatter of many con-
versations filled the court room. Then
the young man strolled into the room and
dropped into a chair. The crier pro-
claimed: “Silence in the court room!”
His Honor gazed upon the young man,
and said:

“Are you ready to proceed?”

“Yes, your Honor.”

“\Vhere’s the prisoner?”

“I really don’t know.”

“What?”

“I’m sure I don’t know."

“Mr. De Novo, will you explain what
you mean by this most extraordinary
conduct?”

“Your Honor told me to give him the
best advice I could, I believe?” >
“Yes, sir.”

“Mayit please the Court, when I con-
sulted him I found he was guilty and had
really no defense whatever. So, in pur-
suance of your Honor’s so kindly meant
suggestion, I advised him to drop out of
the window and make himself as scarce
as possible. I presume—in fact, I know—
that he followed the first part of my
advice, and I believe he will also observe
the rest of it.”——Harper’s Magazine.

Foot Binding in China.

Miss Adele Fielde, who during fifteen
years residence in China, made a special
study of the condition of the women of
that country says:

“Foot binding has existed 900 years.
There are numerous legends which are
supposed to account for it, but nothing
definite is known. The fashionable shoe
is from 21-2 to 3 inches long. lThOugh
this process of foot binding is painful and
injurious, it is less injurious than the
waistbinding in this country. There are
but few American women whose internal
organs are not displaced by tight lao-
ing.

MAKING MILITARY PARKS OUT OF
BATTLE FIELDS.

 

A Movement Championed by Legislators
From the North and South. The Be-
publicans Have Decided to Take No
Part in Income Tax Arrangements.

Among the first bills passed by the
House at the present session was one
making an appropriation of $75,000 for
establishing a national military park at
Shiloh and another appropriating $20,000
for the dedication, next September, of the
park already founded on the battlefield 0
Chickamaugn and Chattanooga. .

The promptness with which these
measures were acted upon is significant.
Four of the most famous fields of the
civil war are now to be preserved for the
wonder and study of future generations,
and that, too, with the hearty co-opera-
tions and by the mutual desires of victors
and vanquished on the fields. It is doubt-
ful whether there is anything quite like
this to be found in history. ’

The first field to be set apart was nab
urally Gettysburg, the place of the most
tremendous battles ever fought on the
American continent, one fraught with
momentous consequences. A statement
in Secretary Lamont’s report of last year
Showed that besides the large sums ex«
pended on this field by the memorial as-
sociation and other bodies and by,indi—
viduals, no less than $863,017.82 had up to
that time been contributed by States

whose soldiers took part in the battle.~

Tracts of land have been bought, roads
laid out, and mouments and tablets erect-
ed. In his present report, Mr. Lamont
says that the movements undertaken by
troops on both sides, as well as the lines
which they held, have been in the main
accurately established, and, after final
verification, tablets will be placed at
points on the flanks of each regiment in
its various positions,while suplus cannon
will in like manner identify the positions
held by the batteries. When it is remem-
bered that 256 Union regiments with 6?
batteries, and 189 Confederate regiments
with 70 batteries, took part at Gettys-
burg, it will be seen how great is the
labor involved. The suggestion, however
offers itself that care should be taken not
to overdo the details, and so confuse by
needless minute a study so impressive
and instructive in its broader and more
general aspects. It can also be under.
stood from the figures just given why so
large an expense has been laid out upon
this field, and why so many monuments
some of them costly and beautiful, mark
this wonderful spot.

The Chickamauga and Chattanooga
park is to the West what the Gettysburg
is to the East. Chickamauga was the
bloodiest of the Western battles, and if
Chattanooga is added it towers up with
a great strategic importance. When the
bill to establishing this park was before
Congress, the House Military Committee
made an elaborate comparison, based on
'the losses of the combatants in Napoleon’s
great battles, such as Marengo. Austerlitz
and Waterloo, and again on the losses at
Sadowa in 1866 and at Gravelotte, Sedan,
and other battles of the Franco-German
war of 1870, so as to show the deadliness
of the struggle at Chickamauga. The
committee declared that the average loss-
es on each side for the troops which
fought through the two days were fully
33 per cent, while for many portions of
each line the losses reached 50 per cent.
and for some even 75 per cent. It con-
cluded that such a field had an import-
ance to the nation as an object lesson of
what is possible in American fight-
mg.

Republicans in Congress have decided
to make the Democrats stand by their
tariff act from beginning to end, and
they will not therefore, as a party, lend
any assistance to the opponents of the in-
come tax in the coming fight for its re-
pen], or against the appropriation of the
$50,000 recommended by Secret ary Carlisle
as necessary for putting it into operation.
The Republicans think the tariif act with
its income tax attachment, too good a
campaign weapon to be ignored, and
they are therefore anxious to use it until
they get control of Congress, when the
law, they say will be repealed. The
Treasury Department still maintains
great secrecy with regard to the regula-
tions prepared by Secretary Carlisle un-
der which the attempt to collect the tax
will be made, but it is quite well under.
stood that the inquisitorial features of
the regulations will not be abandoned.
The Treasury officials are not willing to
trust to the honor of the American citi-
zens who are to pay the tax, and the
odious features of inquiry into private
business affairs of the citizens, that were
so distasteful during the war, will be
maintained and enforced. The Treasury
officials, indeed, are somewhat fearful
that the terms of the law are not them-
selves strict and explicit enough to insure
a. complete and prOper return of incomes,
and contemplate making the bureau reg-
ulations even more stringent; but if this
is done it is probably that Congress will
abrogate them. Many Northern Demo-
crats who have all along opposed the en-
actment of the Income Tax law are very
much disturbed over the adoption of the
rigid inquisitorial regulatians of the
Treasury Department, and are anxious to
have something done to curtail them
or to repeal the law altogether; but if it
is repealed or starved to death it will be
necessary to have concerted action among
the enemies of the law in all parties of
both Houses, and as yet there appears to
be no indication of the formation of such
an aggressive combination.

ROGER LEWIS.

 

Indicted for Using Biblical Quotations.

An unusual thing in connection with
the court is the holding by the United
States Grand Jury that Scriptural quota-
tions may be libelous. H. A. Busby of
Means, Harrison county, Ohio, was in-
dicted for writin g letters and poatal cards
to David Handley of Columbus, Ohio.
On the envelope of the letters were the
quotations: “Owe No Man Anything,”
“Let Us Walk Honestly,” and “Many
Years Thou Shalt Be Troubled.” He was
indicted on four counts on the ground
that the language used was libelous and
calculated to injure the character of Mr.
Handley.——Clevelaud Plain Dealer.
