Let us see how high a denso pile formed by a billion of Japanetw Army, In vol veil wnrt nn..r!v as hard ns that required to win the vic tory. Not being able to go to Japan, they brought Japan to Manchuria. A whole corps that had been In the field for moro than a year set out to create In n baro valley overlooked by bare hillsides an Illusion of Japan at spring tide, all green and park-like. In Japan carp swim tip cataracts In fables, When they reach the top they became beautiful dragons. That Is tho national example of the reward for perseverance which takes the place of the story of Itohcrt Hruce and the spl der. Ono of tho brigades, as Its part In Iho battlo of deception, built both tlio carp and the waterfall. Kor more than a mile, and then up tho steep slope which was the scene of their composi tion, they brought pine boughs to form tho sides of the channels, the over hanging verdure of crags and of rocky Islets. The fonmliiL' to front u'nu tnn.to by bolts of cotton laid In waves that liulf-stihmerged the leaping Hsh, scv-enty-flve feet long, which had cotton crescents for Its scales. A mile away the Illusion was excellent, especially If you half-closed your Occidental eyes, which are always seeing scaffold ing and tho prompter's box. You had to do the samo with tho dragon-lly on the next hill a dragon fly with wings fifty feet long nnd beat cn otit ration-meat tins for Its gigantic eyes. You had to do the same In order to realize the Hlg Lion (properly spell ed with capitals). The holes of his nostrils, some fifteen feet wide, were made with matting. Their tlcHhy part was soldier's red blankets, for he was a fierce Japanese lion, Just now In a red fury. Ills mane was made of evergreens on the summit of a rocky escarpment. 1'Ivc hundred yards away more evergreens were formed Into a lushing tall. General I'uJII, the chief, and the oth- er members of tho staff entered Into tho plan of tlio effects and tho organl zatlon of the fete with the same gusto with which they havo outmaneuvered the Russians on many flchls. Young forests of pines and of wild cherry trees wero literally transplanted, and walks and arbors set among them. A gentle slopo was leveled for the ap proach to the altar.

One of the nvenucs led Into the lit tle vlllago of Plau-chi-tun, which had been Kurokl's headquarters since the Itattlo of Mukden. It had a garland ed bridge, n huge evergreen arch, and what takes tho place of an arch In Japan, a torll, which In this Instance was formed of Chinese matting cov ered with cotton cloth. Lining both avenues wero alternate plno nnd cher ry trees, and set between them trans parencies made by soldier artists. Ven erable Fujiyama, tho most painted In the world, was there, of cohrse, and scenes both at home and at the front. On the plain, out of tho earth of the dreary kaollaifg Holds, whose never ending stubble is as the sands of the desert, had sprung little Japanese gar dens, such as you see from one end of Japan to the other. Miniature lakes were set In miniature landscapes, nnd a fountain played among the beds of Imitation Iris. The night before the fete millions of Imitation paper flowers, which had been fashioned In the leisure hours of camp with tho skllfulness of Parisian shop girls, were brought In great bas kets and fastened to the twigs of the transplanted trees. The strangest part of It all Is that it Is as natural for the soldiers of tho Japanese army to do these things as It Is for them to llghL That same skill which was devoted to making water falls and paper flowers, that trick of ready Improvisation which brought Japan to Manchuria, was turned tho next day into scouting tho dead spaces In front of tlio enemy's works nnd to desperate charges In tho night. llfltevrN Himivcii Killed with Men.

It Is confidently stated that the Allocking cruelties of the steel trap in common use for catching rabbits can readily nnd cheaply be prevented by twisting a few turns of copper or brass wire closely around each Jaw, below the teeth, where the spring flies up, o as to insure tho teeth being always fixed a full quarter of an Inch open when the trap is sprung. Rabbits are thus caught with equal case, and when taken out of the traps aro found uninjured. To complete their purpose, the traps must be placed far down In the holes and be regularly visited early and late. These modified traps are most successful, with advantages rela tive to food, while dogs, cats and birds derive proportionate freedom from suffering when trapped by mistake. The black flag is an emblem of liorror and dread. " When it is hoisted by an army, the order has gone forth that "no quarter " will be given, ev erything must be destroyed. Helpless women and children, as well as oppos ing soldiers, meet the same fate, and a trail of desolation, suffering and death is left behind. Contagious Blood Poison is the black flag of the great army of disease. This vile disorder is known as the blackest and most hide ous of all human afflictions, overthrowing its victims and crushing out the life. It is no respecter of persons ; no matter how pure the blood may be or how innocently the disease is contracted, when this awful virus enters the circulation the hideous, hateful and humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer feels that his very presence is polluting and contaminating. Usually the first sign of the disease is a little sore or ulcer, but as the blood becomes more deeply poisoned the severer symptoms are manifested, the mouth and throat ulcerate, the glands in the groins swell, a red rash breaks out on the body, the hair and eyebrows come out, and often the body is cov ered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. In its worst stages the disease- affects the nerves, attacks the bones and sometimes causes tumors to form on the brain, produc ing insanity and death. Not only those who contract the poison suffer, but unless the virus is driven from the blood the awful taint is handed down to offspring, and they are its innocent victims. Blood Poison is in deed a "black flag." Mercury and Potash, so often used, never can cure the trouble. These minerals merely drive the symptoms away for awhile and shut the disease up in the system, and when they are left off it returns worse than before. This treatment not only fails to cure blood poison but eats out the delicate lining of the stomach and bowels, produces chronic dyspepsia, loosens the teeth and fre. quently causes mercurial rheumatism to add to the patient's suffering. S. S. S., the great vegetable medicine, is the conqueror of this vile disease. It goes down to the very root of the trouble and cures by cleansing the blood of every particle of the poison. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up anything but clears the entire circulation ol the? virus and puts the sj'stem in good healthy condition. It cures safely as well as certainly, because there is not a particle of mineral in it. We offer a re ward of $1,000.00 for proof that S. S. S.

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con sidering in malting purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP F FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.
