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

MEUMATIS:
AN INDESCRIBABLE TORTURE
Because Rheumatism sometimes comes on suddenly it doesn't
prove that it is a chance disease or one due to accidental causes. 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.

desire any special information or advice, our physicians will furnish
it without charge. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, 6 A

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.

"Is that so?" politely murmured the
newcomer.
"Yes. Now, there's mother. She's
upstairs this morning with a set o'
newspaper puzzle pictures. If she
solves 'em, and writes a good serial
story to go along with 'em, she gets
two dollars. And my daughter Lizzie

he's pretty near got it."
"But you," inquired the new citizen,
"what problem are you devoted to?"
"Who me? My problem?" repeated
