Travel in China*
Travel in northern China is accom
plished in a cart, a mule litter, or the
saddle The first method is the most
uncomfortable but the most rapid, the
second the most comfortable but the
slowest, the third the most independr-*
but the most uncertain. '
The cart used in northern

springs, and a bodyaboutfgH r x^a light

TwQ-^enr'the left shaft take it along at
rfate of about three miles an hour, and
one can make in it an average of thirty-
five miles a day, even over the roughest
country. It will carry about three
hundred pounds of goods, and one or
even two passengers; and the tighter one
is squeezed in the more comfortable it
will prove, for that, and that alone, will
be a protection from the terrible jolting
over the rough country roads.
It is told in some old book of travel in
the narrative of the mission of Lord
Amherst to the court of Pekin, if I re
member rightly, that one of his attend
ants died from the effects of the jolting
he received during a short journey in one
of these carts. But this mode of travel
being the most rapid, I adopted itt" Sev
eral years of experience of cart travel in
China bad made me bold, so that I did
not fear the fate which had overtaken
the Amherst mission man. Comfortably
wrapped in my wadded Chinese clothes,
I' squeezed myself into my cart, feeling
like a delicate piece of chinaware packed
in cotton, and after a hearty farewell to
the friends with whom I was staying at
Pekin, the carters cracked their whips,
and with a shout to the mules we were
off.—Century.
A Sunday with a Country Doctor.
Sunday is a busy day for the doctor.
A good many people put off being sick
till Sunday, especially in haying time,
and the calls began to come in early. So
the narrow buggy went down the road,
and did not return till late. Sunday
school was in session and the children
sang:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
A group of young women in white
came out into the little burying ground,
and through my open window I could
hear gossip and laughter, as they picked
their way among the gleaming white
headstones. Then a party of ladies
dressed in deep mourning appeared.
Standing apart was a young couple
chatting in a sheepish way.
A small girl, with curiosity abnor
mally developed, pretended to read the
inscription on a tombstone near by,
A7met organ was played again, and
the children with the older people in the
church, sang “He will carry yon
through.” The voice of good Dominie
Thompson rolled out in stirring tones as
he sought divine guidance and* blessing
for the beloved children of his flock.—

Advice to Mothers.
Are you disturbed at night and broken
of your rest by a sick child suffering and
crying with pain of cutting teeth? If so,
send at once and get a bottle of Mrs.
Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Children
Teething. Its value is incalculable. It
will relieve the poor little sufferer im
mediately. Depend upon it, mothers;
there is no mistake about it. It cures
dysintery and diarr icEa, regulates the
stomach and bowels, cures wind colic,
softens the gums, reduces inflammation,
and gives tone and energy to the whole
system. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup
for children Teething is pleasant to the
taste, and is the prescription of one 'of
the oldest and best female nurses and
physicians in the United States, and a
for sale by all druggists throughout the
world. Price 25 cents a bottle.
For Coast Defenses,
A very novel suggestion for the con
struction of forts to defend onr seaboard
cities comes from Mr. Anderson, the
head of the engineering firm which has
contracted with the government to build
the lighthouse on Outer Diamond shoal,
at Hatteras. His proposition is to sink
caissons upon the sandy shoals which
exist at the month of nearly all our riv
ers, and upon them to erect forts of 3GQ
feet in diameter, built of solid concrete,
with walls fifty feet thick, with a bomb
proof armor of steel over the interior.—

A functionary in the Russian army

ble and impartial man. Lately he con
victed Gen. Toruanowsky, a favorite of
the czar.

A negro woman apparently died in
Shreveport, La., but when the funeral
procession arrived at the cemetery next
day she rose up in her coffin and wanted
to know what was going on. The mourn
ers were terror stricken and dispersed in
a hurry, leaving the woman to take care
of herself. She is now as well as ever.
A singular instance of the widespread-
mg effect which a sudden freak of fash
ion, even in leather, may have is afford
ed m the fact that English naval officers
have made a demand to be allowed to
wear russet leather boots at sea.
The slave population of the countrv
was 2,009,043 in 1830, 2,487,355 in 1840
3,204,313 in 1850 and 3,953,760 in I860!
Missouri had 25,091 slaves in 1830 58 240

1860.

HOW IT GROWS!
The above bright and benevolent face, is Dr.
A. W. Acker, of England, discoverer of the
celebrated Acker’s English Remedy for Con
sumption and other popular preparations. Jr.
Acker practised in his younger days among the
middle classes of London, and was the means of
doing great good, but his health failed and he
found himself in the grasp of consumption, with
a wife and child depending upon him for support*
While in this condition, he discovered the cele?
bra ted English Remedy, saved his own life and
has since saved the lives of thousands who were
on the sure road to death. Any man or woman
who feels a tickling in the throat, who coughs,
^ es or has
has shqr
, w _ — w difficulty i
breathing, should realize that these are the first
symptoms of consumption which, if neglected,
are sure to result fatally. Dr. Acker’s English
Remedy has cured more than one thousand per
sons who unquestionably had consumption and
who were given up by their friends. It merits
its popularity and is sold by reputable druggists
in every city and town in America. You can’t
afford to be without it.
