Something mora than an ordinary tonlo Is required to restore health to weakened, run-down system the medicine must possess blood-purify In g properties as well, because the weakness and impurity of the circulation is responsible for the poor physical condition. The blood does not contain the necessary quantity of rich, red corpuscles, and is therefore a weak, watery stream which cannot allord sufiMont nourishment to sustain the system In ordinary health. A poorly nourished bod; cannot resist disease, and this explains why so many pontons, are attacked by a spell of sickness when the use of a good toulo would havo prevented the trouble. In S. 8. 8. will be found both blood-cloanaing and tonio qualities combined. It builds up weak constitutions by removing all impurities and germs from the blood, thus supplying a certain means for restoring strength and Invigorating the system. The healthful, vegetable ingredients of which 8. 8. 8. is composed make It splendidly fitted to the needs of those systems which are delicate from any ouuae. It is Nature's Perfuct Tonio, free from all harmful minerals, a safe and pliasant acting medicine for persons of very age. S. 8. 8. rids the body of that tired, worn-out feeling so common at this season, improves the appetite and digestion, tones up the stomach, acts with pleasing eilects on the norvous system, and relnvigorates every portion of the body.

CRUELTIES TN CHINA, I Torture of Prisoners Carried to Point of Refinement HUMc Ur I nt WAIbK UbAIrf. A Worse Infliction Than That of Being Tiod to a Beam by the Thumbs and Big Toss The Bastinado and Flog ana With Solit Bamhoo. 1 China Is a land of contradictions and mysteries. It bristles with surprises, The phlegmatic nature of Its natives is in marked contrast to their Inherent cruelty. "What a poor, weak looking baby!" you might say to a Chinaman about bis offspring, and he will merely shrug his shoulders in reply. Meet him In a month's time and ask him how the, youngster Is getting on. "The disease was a fatal one," he will answer, with another significant shrug. If the child were a girl yon could safely draw your own conclu sions as to Its fate. John Chinaman has no use for deformed or very sick ly children, particularly girls. - Torture of prisoners has been car ried to a point of refinement One of the most terrible was surely the cage In which a man was placed so that his head Just protruded at the top, while his toes only touched the ground suf ficiently to prevent dislocation of the neck. Ills bands were bound behind him so that he could jiot relieve himself, and he was left tbe Jeered at by the public until hunger and exhaustion put an end to his sufferings. The day of the bastinado, too, Is by no means over. The prisoner la Strang up In a reverse condition, and the nnkul miles of his feet are pounded with a cane, with the result that the victim seldom recovers. Bat the more common form of flog ging Is to beat the thigha with the concave side of a Bpllt bamboo, which cuts at every stroke Into the flesh. China, by the way, was the home of that terrible death by water drop. The victim's head was placed on low hard, block, and drops of water at short Intervals were allowed to fall from a height on to his forehead a far, far worse Infliction than that of being tied to a beam by the thumbs and big toes. me cangue is regarded aa a com paratively mild sort of punishment This consists of a wooden collar, about four feet square and four Inches thick. which Is placed over the prisoner's head, so that Its full weight falls on the shoulders. A description of the offense is also attached to the victim's body, and as he cannot feed himself he has to rely on the public for sustenance. Conservative to a degree, It Is not surprising to find that the wheelbar row as a passenger conveyance Is still In vogue, as, too, is the ferry, consist ing of a light canoe, towed across the water by a number of swimmers. Machinery for the most part is de spised, and the mill, still used for win nowlng the staple diet rice, la of the simplest and most out of date descrip tion possible. The rice is placed in a cement basin, over which is a heavy atone at the end of a long lever. This la worked up and down by two boards, in the form of a cross, attached to the axle of a huge hand turned wheel. For simplicity of keeping a city In formed of the time Canton would be hard to beat In one of the tempi are four large earthen jars on succes sive shelves. Water descends by slow drops from one to the other, a brass scale on a float In the bottom one Indicating as It rises the hour of the day. At o o'clock every afternoon the low est Jar Is emptied and the upper one refilled. On the outside walls of the city are displayed boards with the number of .the hour on them, so that all may see. And this has gone on without a break since 1321. Funerals appear almost a mockery to the visitor. If money can be freely spent a manager Is appointed, and from the highways and the byways street boys and beggars are collected. dressed up in amazing costumes, sup plied with dazzling umbrellas, stand ards and boards, which are carried over then- shoulders in a long straggle. Others carry small bouses and carta made of card paper, horses, men, wom en, etc.. Indicative of the dead one's treasures, and these, with heaps of pa per coins and paper money, are burn ed at the grave so that they may be enjoyed In the life beyond. Hired mourners with cymbals, gongs and wind Instruments keep up a con tinuous series of howls and noises, to which Is added the boohoo, boohoo, of an ear racking horn worked some thing like a garden hose. Women are regarded as nothing In China. They are brought op In Ig norance of the world outside, the one object of their life being to get mar rled and have sons to follow the fa thers. A girl Is not even allowed to look upon ber husband until she Is ac tually wedded. London Ladles' Field. Not Very Neighborly.. Dngald Ton was not a verra neigh- borllke thing to be dotn'.

An Old Tims Hoax That Caused Riot In a London Theater. . In 1748 there appeared In the news papers of London an -advertisement stating that on a certain night a re markable conjurer would perform in the Haymarket theater. H would, the advertisement ran, borrow a common , walking cane from any member of the audience and "thereupon play the mu Bc of every instrument now in use." It was also promised that he would - take an ordinary wine bottle, place It . on a table In the middle of the stage, 'get Into It "In the sight of all the spectators" and sing while In It. In the same issue of the newspaper was second advertisement announcing he arrival of Signor Capltello Jura pedo, "a surprising dwarf no taller than a tobacco pipe," who engaged to perform with and outdo the "bottle con Jurer," contorting himself In all man ner of shapes and finally "opening his mouth wide and jumping down his own throat." This feat, not without reason, Signor Jumpedo described as the "most wonderfulest wonder of all wonders as ever the world wondered at." The night set for this dual display of "wonderfulest wonders" fouud the theater packed from roof to pit. Hut as the time passed and the curtain re mained down ciUcnllN and hisses hp. gan to be heard. Then a mnn In the pit stood up and In n calm voice an nouncea mat ir aouiiie nrk-es were paid the conjurer would get into a pint instead of a quart bottle. At once the audience realized that they were being hoaxed. Somebody threw a lighted candle Into a box. and this was the signal for a riot. Benches were torn up and boxes pulled down, while the timid rushed for the doors, with great loss of wigs, bats, swords and canes. Those who remained, re-enforced by roughs from outside, com pletely destroyed the interior of the theater and finished up by dragging the scenery Into the street, where It was burned In a huge bonfire. Nor was the author of this Imposture ever discovered, although it was commonly attributed either to an actor who had been discharged or to a mischievous nobleman bent on winning a wager. New York Tribune. DISGUISES FAILED. Kxperience of Emperor Napoleon I at a Masked Ball. The Emperor Napoleon I. once an nounced to his valet that he Intended on a certain evening going to a ball at the Italian embassy and requested that complete costumes should be sent In advance. The valet, Constant obeyed and attended his Imperious mas ter and commenced to dress him in a manner which might, had the emperor followed the valet's advice, hare de fied detection. Constant bad some trouble with Napoleon over one or two minor matters, but when it came to changing his top boots for shoes the emperor resolutely refused. Going Into, the ballroom, Napoleon at once relapsed Into his accustomed at titude and, wishing to engage a lady In conversation, approached her with his bands behind his back. : To his first question she prefaced her replj with "sire." Turning away abruptly, he went back to his room and said: You were right Constant I have been recognized. Give me another cos tume and shoes this time." The valet redressed his master and warned him to keep bis bands at bis side. No sooner bad he entered the room the second time than once more be relapsed into bis natural attitude. This time a lady addressed? lm, "Sire, you are recognized." Once more the emperor left the room in disgust Returning to bis room, Napoleon was disguised for the third time. Ill- toilet complete, he went back to the ballroom, which he entered as if It were a barrack room, pushing and swaggering. He was at once detected. and some one whispered to him. "Your majesty Is recognized." An other disappointment and another change, still with the same result and in the end the emperor left the em bassy convinced that it was Impossi ble to conceal his identity. Th. Mathematical Problem. Little Marion was busy at her "home work." After a great many perplexed frowns and much nibbling at her pen cil she looked up and said: The only answer I can get to this example is 'five and three-fourths horses.' Do you s'pose that is right mamma?" "Well, I don't know," answered her mother cautiously. "It sounds rather queer." A long pause; then the small arith metician's face lit up with a smile.
