It is absolutely reliable and effective in Blood Impurities, Nervous Dyspepsia, Wasting Conditions, Melancholy, Chlorosis, Impaired Nutrition, Scrofuln, Low Vitality, and all troubles of the Throat and Lungs.

THE ATHLETIC JAPANESE.

In their enthusiastic love for athletics and ut-of-doar sport the Japanese stand foremost UBSCRIPTION S. in the Oriental world. Their admiration for physical prowess and achievement is intense, and no Western champion or Spanish bull. haiter is ever accorder such genuine homage as falls to the lot of a successful wrestler, a finished archer, swordsman or jiujutsuist in the Mikado's Empire. Through many generations the people have transmitted and fostered these sentiments, and that they have exercised a notent and winning influence over the nation's destiny a glance at the recorde of its ancient and modern wars will show.

"At home, after meals, I had often to walk about the housefto disperse them. There was a pain in my chest which completely took my breath away at times. Of course, it hampered me very much at the works, and I was afraid to take my food.

cause of their importance in a military sense. The Japanese of the Middle Ages warred almost from the cradle to the grave, and as their battles with the Koreans and the Tartars were generally fought at close quarters, the victory frequently fell to those most skilled in wrestling and in feats of arms. To such a high plane did athletics rise that disputants for the throne at times settled their quarrels and claims by recourse to individual physical prowess,

With the inauguration of the first Shogunate in 1185, fencing as a preparatory course in swordsmanship (Kenjutsu) received imperial investigation, and it became as much a part of samurai's military knowledge as archery (Kujutsu) and spearsmanship (sojutsa). These samurai retainers of the great daimos were likewise skilled in that subtle physico-ethical system known as jiujutsu, ar the art of fighting without weapons. To these doughty warriors is traceable the intense national love for the sword and pride in the native swordsmen, than whom none more expert can be found.

When archery and wrestling became profes- sions, and fakirs and mountebinks tried their hands at them, the proud samurai of the eigh- teenth century fostered their military instlart training by a devotion to fencing, of which five different systems are at present taught, each system, or school, taking its name from its founder.

As additional evidence that the love for phy sical exercise on the part of the modern Japan. ese is due to inheritance rather than to climate, winter of Northern China is many degrees colder than that of the island of Dai Nippon, yet one might never see the first-named country participate in any athletic sport. The provinces of Manchuria and Chibli possess a superb winter climate, quite Canadian in its clear skies and fine frosty days, yet the Chinese are sluggish polar bears compared to the nimble, fox. worshiping Japanese. Beneath the glue-color-

THE STORY OF A HAPPY PAIR.

Mrs. Houghton, wife of the hero of the remark. able story related in this issue under the title "Where Noise is King," had a story to tell not less remarkable than that of her husband.
