A Chinese Divorce. Th* American humorist should be glad to learn that loquaoity is the recog¬ nised in China as a grouud for di¬ vorce of a wife. Opportunity for many Jokes is piesentod by this fact. Other causes are neglect of her lord and master’s family, jealousy, child- Isssness and curiosity. The young Chinese girl seems born to be ruled half her life and to rule the other half unless Fate gives her e too-long- lived mother-in-law. In her home she ie aubaervient to mother, father end brother*, working for them *11 aud looking for no reward in the way of tripe to Europe, diamond ring* or sad¬ dle horses. At 12 or 13 she marries. She ie then the slave of her mother-iu- Isw, end her term of servitude under this awe-inspiring person’s role is apt to be even more wearisome than her childhood’s slavery. Finally the mother-in-law dies, as they sometimes do even in China, and her successor, who is little Mrs. Sun Flower herself, et onoe begins her re¬ gime of authority, rearing her daugh¬ ters to be submissive and her sons to be spirited and filled with a healthy contempt for womankind. And then when ono of these manly individuals brings home a wife her victory is com¬ plete, and she bullies end tyrannizes over her to her heart’s content, and if •he be malicious and the record of u sail girlhood to avenge, the spirited sou’s wife i* apt to have a sad time of it. Value of Humus. There seems to be a deep-rooted opinion that humus is neocssary to profitable crop production.

Tay¬ lor, tho stableman of Ltuden, Texas, drove out seven miles northwest of Linden to the residence of Mr. John Miller. Wo were re¬ ceived and well ocierlainod by Mr. and Mrs. Miller. Their son, Buford J. Miller, atnboat four years old, became pole and weak aud nothing seemel to do him any good. Ho continued in this condition until ho was nbout twelve years old, at times eating too much for one or two meals and then eating but little for weeks afterward.

They could uot benefit the patient* Mr. Miller then tried a number of patent medicines, without any good result, lie had spent much money and his son Buford appeared to have no blood, no appetite, nnd was so weak that ho could not walk a hun¬ dred yards without stopping to rest. Air. Miller had given up in despair when one day a neighbor, llev. S. G. Eohals, who Jives near Linden advised him to try rink Dills. Mr. Miller suid lie had no hope, and did not want to make the trial, but his neighbor insisted. The next question was where could he get the pills. lie went to Jefferson and found that «T. F. Crow, a druggist, ha l them. Mr. Crow was an old neighbor and friend and persuaded him to give the pills a thorough trial, promising that if he would take three boxes and Buford received no benefit from thorn ho would charge nothing. Mr. Miller took three boxes of Pink PiiIs home with him, and says before Buford had taken ono box there was a wonderful im¬ provement. This w/ts about eighteen months ago. To-day Buford Miler is a stout hearty young man about nineteen years old. We met several of his school mates at Linden who state lh<To has been a wonderful change in Buford Miller. lie is well known by the people of Linden. Ilfs mother, Mrs. Miller, was also afflicted with dropsy about seven years, suffering much in the spring of the year. After seeing that Pink Pi Is wnro benefiting her sou she concluded to try them for herself. This was about a year ago, nnd she remarked that if it had not been for Pink Pitts she did not know what would have become of her. She had no symptoms of dropsy the past spring. praise Sim said too much can not bo said in of Pink Pi Is. Mr. Miller referred us to J. F. Stoveall, the druggist in Linden; Eb. Erarxicr, merchant, and many others who are well acquainted with his family and know the facts. Dr. Williams’Tink Tills for Pale People are not a patent medicine in the sense that name implies.
