' lianeace oi Orange Leaves. One of the remarkable industries of Paraguay la the preparation of the es sence of orange leaves. More than 150 years ago the Jesuit priests, who then ruled that secluded country, imported orange seeds and planted groves, which have now become immense forests, filled with small establishments for ex tracting the essence, which is exported to France and the United States for use in soap and perfumery making. It Is also employed by the natives In Paraguay as a healing ointment and a hair tonic. L,Keeiev liquor-morphine-tobacco FOR FULL PARTICULARS HTtLE Y I KSTnUTE.- POHTLA NDOWg Hneet Little Imp.

It takes time for it to develop, and is at work in the system long; before any symptoms are felt. The blood is the first point of attack, and the poisondus acids that cause the aches and pains are then distrib uted through the circulation to different parts of the system, and settle in joints, muscles and nerves ; and when the system is in this condition it needs only some exciting cause like exposure to night air, damp, chilly weather, or the cold, bleak winds of winter, to arouse the slumbering poisons and bring on Rheumatism. The severity of the attack depends upon the amount of acid in the blood and the quantity or acrid matter in the joints and muscles. Some peo ple are almost helpless from the first, while others have occa sional spells or are uncomforta ble, restless, nervous and half sick all the time from the nagging aches and pains. Rheu matism is a disagreeable com panion even in its mildest form. It grows worse as we grow older, and frequently stiffens the joints, draws the muscles out of shape and breaks down the nervous system. A disease that origin ates in the blood, as Rheumatism does, cannot be cured with ex ternal remedies like liniments and plasters ; such things scatter the pains or drive them to some other part of the body, but do not touch the disease or improve the condition of the blood. The thin acid blood must be restored to its normal up the general health at the same time.

IT WAS JAPAN'S OLD TRICK. Torpedoes Won the First Battle from Chinese in 1894. The first battle of the Chinese-Japanese war was fought July 24, 1894, in the harbor of Asan, on the west coast of Korea, south ..-of Chemulpo, the scene of the destruction recently of two Russian warships by a Japanese fleet In the battle of Asan the Japa nese sunk an English transport Kow Sbing, with 1,700 Chinese soldiers on board. There had been no declaration of war. The Japanese commanders recog nized the English flag and requested that the English commanders - leave his vessel. The Chinese officers for bade them doing so under penalty of death. The Japanese sent officers to the ship and repeated the demand and then began firing. Captain - Gals worthy and his officers leaped over board to swim to the Japanese cruiser. The Chinese treacherously fired upon the Englishmen. The Japanese open-! ed with their broadside battery and machine guns. The missiles swept the decks of the transport. The Japanese then fired two torpedoos, both of which struck and exploded. The transport's prow rose, its stern went down and almost immediately the ves sel sank. - t The Chinese fought the guns until the vessel went down. The shots were aimed too high to damage the Japa nese. Some were fired directly at the struggling Chinese soldiers in the wa ter, the gunners saying that they would all die together. The boats of the transport in which scores of sol diers and officers were trying to es cape, were sunk by the Japanese. The Kow Shing was conveyed by the Chi Yuen and the Kootsu. Both vessels engaged the Japanese. The fight con tinued more than an hour, when the Chi Yuen raised the white flag. The Japanese boat ceased firing and apr proached. Suddenly the Chi Yuen dis charged torpedoes and began the fight again. The torpedoes did no damage. The fight raged more hotly than be fore, until the Chi Yuen-turned and, ran. The Japanese cruiser chased the Chinese, but failed to capture her. 1 The Kootsu tried to escape, but ran aground and was captured. j On the same dav the JaDanese cruiser Yoshino fought the Chinese- Chin Yuen and consort So Keang at sea. liie Chinese were disabled, but fought stubbornly and would have captured the Japanese vessel had not relief appeared. The Chih Yuen was able to escape to Waiheiwei. The So Keang was captured. A Practical Puzzle. There is still something for the hus band and,father to do aboard the fam ily ship.
