Baltimore, Dec. 10th.
For 10 years I have suffered terribly with
Rheumatism. I was treated by leading phy
sicians brt rot no relief. Long since I despaired
of ever being well again. But hearing of
RHEUMACIDE, I decided to give it a trial.
I have t?.ken two bottles, and, thanks to this
wonderful medicine, I now feel that I have
gotten a "now lease on life." Every vestigo
of the disease has been driven from my system.

provided with a strong rope more thaa
eighty feet long, to be used In climb

the gum is procured. Thm sap flow

as "sicte." is collected from the fruit
of the sapota mostly by the native
women, and Is seldom exported, be

In Mountain Climbing.
The highest point at which climbers
have stayed for any length of time Is
20,992 feet, on the Himalayas, where an
exploring party painfully stayed for six
weeks in 1902. Higher still, at 21.910
feet, is the extreme point of Mrs. Bul
lock Workman's ascents, the greatest
height reached by a woman. Mr. Bul
lock Workman kept on to a point 23,
393 feet high, which Is the greatest
height reached by any mountain climb
er. The altitudes reached by Mr. and
Mrs. Bullock Workman were above
those at which M. Berson, the aero
naut, began bis artificial inhalation of
oxygen. At 26,240 feet tbe aeronauts
in general begin the continued Inspira
tion of oxygen, and neglect of this pre
caution was responsible for the death
of MM. Croce. Spiatlll and Sirel at 28.

Tradesmen In Jap:tn.
Some of the Japanese tradesmen
in the smaller towns of Nippon have
a curious way of advertising their
business. On their right forearms
they tattoo figures the shoemaker a
shoe, the wodcutter an ax, the
butcher a cleaver. Underneath these
emblems are such inscriptions as "I
do my work modestly and cheaply,"
and "I am as. good at my trade as
most of my fellows." When they are
looking for work they bare their
arms and walk about the streets.
