From Ihe Boston Herald. Ch.n"' onc °* the most interesting countries in the world, aside from the fa t that international complications have , :o >v fastened the world’s attention upon it . wirhin the next century the ancient empire will probably become so far mod ernized as to lose much of the pictur fsqueness which belongs to its antiquity. The traveler who visits the Middle King dom at the present time is taken back, in effect, many thousands of years in the history of the world; he sees things as they were ages ago—the manners, customs ar.d ways of living that belong to a vanished people. For example, what is there in the world more strange than the famous road to the Ming tombs-the burial places of the Ming emperors, who were the last native rulers of hina? This family governed the em pire from 1368 to 1644 A. D., and the ave nue leading to their private cemetery may fairly be regarded as one of the wonders of the world, being lined on eith er side with statuary, the like of which 1§ not to be found anywhere else—a series of colossal figures of human beings and enlmals sculptured in gray granite. The avenue, proceeding from one of the gates of Nanking, is a mile in length, and ends at a marble gate, which is by far the meet stately and beautiful structure of i;. kind in all China. The statues comprise a pair of elephants standing and a pair kneeling, four pairs of ivilians and two pairs of warriors, a pair of horses erect and two lying down; also camels, lions, and tigers in pairs. They are arranged at. intervals on oppo site sides of a paved, but neglected and grass-grown, road, leading from the gate to the tombs. They bear witness to the glory of e dynasty under which China was 'ar greater and more powerful than: she Is to-day. Passers-by throw a pebble at each elephant; if it lodges on the back of the sculptured beast, good luck is in dicted. The elephants in thin series are really admirable works of art, with no suggestion of the grotesque treatment so commonly exhibited in Chinese sculpture. Decapitating; Hebei*. About 80.000 rebels were condemned to death and disposed of by thesummarypro ess of decapitation ot the close of the last great revolutionary movement. When prisoners in China are to be judicially slaughtered, they are fetched to the kill ing place, and a list of their names is read aloud and compared with tickets at tached to the victims. The hands of the latter are pinioned and they are obliged to kneel on the ground to receive the blow of the executioner, which is* delivered with a broad-bladed knife like a cleaver, a single stroke severing the head from the body. The headless bodies are usually left where they have fallen until night, when, if their friends do not remove them, the Authorities take them away and bury them i the puiblic cost. When notorious robbers are executed it is a common thing to cut out the gall-bladder, an organ in which, according to the Chinese belief, the cour age of a man resides—and to sell it, the purchaser imagining that in this way he e quires t' ** quality in question. In a Chinese court the magistrate sits behind a desk, on which are writing ma terials, the official seal and cups con taining tallies, which are thrown down to Indicate the number of blows ordered for culprit. On either side are secretaries, and one or more assistants aro present with Instruments of torture. Inscriptions are hung on the walls, one of which ex horts the judge to be merciful. The ac ‘used kneel in front of the tribunal. It is to be feared that there is little Justice to be had in Chinese courts, tfie prisoner hav ing no opportunity to plead either person ally or through counsel, while the most Atrocious tortures are inflicted even upon witnesses to compel confessions. As might be Imagined, the jails nre horrible. One of the most common of criminal punishments in China consists in fasten ing about the neck of the offender a square frame made of boards, which has a hole through the middle of it for the purpose. This is called a “cangue;” it weighs from twenty to thirty pounds, and the name, re s i.-fence and crime of the delinquent are written upon it in large characters for the information of passers-by. The dis ttvsS suffered by the wearer is much more p-vere than would be supposed at first glance, for he cannot feed himself or even drink a cup of water. He cannot scratch bi* own nose or drive away the flies, and Sometimes his face is smeared with sweet *n*d water to attract Insects. Sleep is al mosf out of the question. A soldier is al s put on guard over a victim of this hnioiw form of cruelty, who may starve t" 'loath or die of thirst if the myrmidon the law refuses to permit the man’s fnends to help him. Women, when con demned to the cangue. are nearly always linked together by twos or threes in a frame. Food of the Chinese. 1 '’nfrary to the popular supposition in 'his country, rice is not the chief diet of the poorer classes in China; it is a luxury t ,ini their point of view, because too ' R t!y for everyday eonsump ion. They 'ai much pork, which costs little, for h'‘Rs of razor-back breed are plentiful e erj where, and the pig is the domestic primal par excellence. She sleeps in the ‘* vl, ig room, recognizes her tvaino and ® R I lays in her intelligence ihe. inherited results of centuries of training'. She lit ters twice a year, and of her offsprings the males are fattened while the females •'"f sold or kept for breeding. The house hold porker Is a pet; she Is foil at every 'real of the family, foraging for herself “t other times in the streeis and fields. And it should he remembered that the pig decidedly a clean animal when proper ly kept. The Rev. Dr. Williams, in his “Middle Kingdom,” says that the Chinese in the y or Canton, from whom are re cruited nearly all of the plgstaiUd immi grants to this country, have a remarkable appetite for rats. One frequently sees pussies hanging nicely dressed In the hatchers' windows, the meat looking so "hlte and clean as to be almost aupeiiz b K They are kepi alive In the sheps, too, cages ready for killing. Because the. e so pro iflc and find so much of their °"n food, they can be raised profitably. at's eyes are considered a great de'leacy by the rich, those of black cats being re garded as choicest and commanding the highest eriep. Rats and into are seldom ' ben. except in case of famine; they ar ,n '* hard to catch to hr cheap. Hut among H e Chlmse there Is an old joke about an Imaginary and sh eallrd “honey und squeak" made by Inclosing a live moose In a piece of honeycomb.

" This book is for a friend of mine who is using your ‘ Golden Medical Discovery, ’ and I cannot praise your medicine too highly. I was in business in Baltimore and had rheumatism for three months ; couldn’t walk at all. I tried the best doctors I could get, but they did me no good. I took three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and it cured me sound. I came home to Sharpsburg, and there were three cases of different diseases. I advised the patients to use Dr. Pierce’s medicines, which they did, and all were cured.” "Golden Medical Discovery” contains no alcohol, cocaine, nor other narcotic. Free.

Fortune Teller’s Shop. One of the accompanying illustrations shows a scene in a fortune teller’s shop. In China, fortune telling is a recegn zed profession, and at Foochow one finds a whole street tilled with their places of business. One can get a different •fortune in each, in Chintse cities the professions and arts locate themselves in particular quarters; there are streets of curio deal ers of silk merchants, of silversmiths, of jade polishers, of ink grinders, of fan makers, etc. There are orly a very few actresses in China, fen ale parts on the stage being aken usually by boys, who assume them with a cleverness that is really wonderful, a I the little subtleties and refinements of a lady’s dress, carriage, and deportment beirg counterfeited to perfection. All imi tations in make-up are disdained; the embroidery on the dresses is of the finest, and no tinsel is employed. On the other hand, the acting is altogether artificial. When a man appears on the stage with a spear in his hand, he is understood to be on horseback; with a banner, he is a company of soldiers; with a fan. he is a general, and so on. Not many perma nent buildings for theaters are to be found in the empire, and the players are mostly members of strolling bands whose ser vices may be hi ed when wanted. A t m porary playhouse b’g enough to hold 2 - 00) pecple can be run op in a day, cone! t ing merely of a framework covered with m'ts. A play asts thiee days usually; the acting is chiefly pantomime,and the scen- is painted on mats at the back and sides of the stage. The Chinese are fond of pets or all sorts, and. in the cities persons are often seen going about with finches or canaries, which ore allowed to fly about for exer cise, being secured to the hand of the owner by a long thread attached to one leg This is called “giving the bird a chance to breathe.” An extremely small beast of canine persuasion, known as a ’’sleeve dog,” Is carried in the wide sleeve of its proprietor. The slant-eyed Celes tials use chairs,* tables anil bedsteads quite like our own, but their furniture is very solid, being made to last forever, and the chairs frequently have stone seats. Of discourse on the eubject of Chinese oddities there can. be no end. The bell* in the temples are made exactly on the pattern of great sleigh-bells, though some of them are as much as two feet in diam eter. It would never occur to us to wash our tea* before brewing the infusion, but that is what those Orientals do, and per haps they have some good reason for it. But how funny does appear the method adopted by their candy dealers, who go through the streets shaking a number of straws of different lengths in a cylindrical box like an elongated dice-box! The straws are kept shaken continually, and presently along comes a boy who wonts a piece of taffy. Instead of paying a cop per, as an American boy would do. he draws a straw from the box. If he pulls a long straw, he gets hie candy for noth ing; if a short one, he pays double price; and there are intermediate lengths which split the difference. The Miracle of the Monsoon. From the London Mall. The Viceroy of India has telegraphed to the Secretary of State for India, that the monsoon is setting in on the Malabar coast. We append a description of the annual arrival of the rains—rains which this year, it is hoped will terminate In- dia’s grievous famine—written by a cor respondent at Cannanore, a military can tonment on the Malabar or western coast of India, 400 miles south of Bombay: "Cannanore, May 20.—1n another two weeks, or three, <he monsoon will be here, and we shall witness that great annual miracle with delight which nothing can destroy. “For he bursting of the rain clouds millions are praying before many altars and to gods of many creeds back In In dia They supplicate for copious showers to turn the burnt wilderness into fruit ful fields. In Malabar we shall see the change wrought before our eyes, as it has been worked every year unfailingly. It Is a sight marvelous to behold. "Scientists will t*ll you that the mon soon Is n wind current which, rising among tin- mountains of the moon In the heart of Africa, below the equator, crosses the Indian ocean In increasing force gathering rain clouds as it goes.

WHY A!\ D HOW SIWANBK SPRINGS* WATER CUBES. There is but one cardinal reason: The Water i a natural diuretic. Get hold of that phrase in its full meaning, if you please. Turn to Abernf*hy. "Nature’s way of cure of disease is by free diuresis." And Avenbruggpr: "Nature cares for the kidneys. That is health." And Bichat: "Health is Impossible if the diuretics be neglected.” Put it in this way: The Water has a selective action on the kidneys. The ex cretion of the solid matters—the urea, uric acid, and extractive matters— is in creased by it. In other words, it causes the elimination of the products of the increased metamorphosis of tissue. And yet, notice that this is done without any Impairment of the quality of the blood, or any lowering of the forces of the organ ism. It is better that patients go to the Spring to take the Water, for the reason that the psychic influence!* of change of scene, as sociations and climate are very large fac tors concerned In the results of treatment. Go to the Spring, if you can. It means much more than you can dream of. You want the Water as Nature hands it forth. But if you cannot go for any reason, you may rest assured that it is the 6amc Water, whether taken at the Bpring or hundreds of miles from there, and that the results are the same wherever It Is taken. There are tw r o or threo points to be not ed. Suwanee Water is prompt in Ms action. It acts the same day that it Is taken. The effecs are Immediate. The effects are continuous. That is, the results, which are early accomplished, ore continued. For descriptive pamphlets with testi monials address SUWANEE SPRING CO.. Suwanee Fla. ANDREW HANLEY, President and General Manager.
