Good nature is also recognized as of great importance. The Japanese as a people are remark able fur their health, endurance, pa tience and skill. The cherry tree Is the most highly priced of all in Japan. It not only gives forth a beautiful blossom but the wild cherry tree furnishes a bark which b most highly prized in medioine. WiM Cherry (I'runut Virginiana). The United States Dis pensatory, which is an authority on medicines, savi of the properties of this Black Cherrybark; Uniting with a tonic power the Sroperty of calming irritation and iminisliing nervous excitability. Adapted to the treatment of diseases in which there is debility of the stom ach or of tiie system." Another au thority, Kino's American Dibpknha Tohy says, "it gives tone and strength to the system, useful in fever, cough, and Ion nd excellent in consumption." This ingredient is only one of several verv Important native, medicinal roots tn Dr. Pierce's Uolden Medical Discov ery. This is a remedy which has en loyed the publio approval for nearly forty years, nothing new or untried about it, litis cured thousands of people of those chronic, weakening diseases which are accompanied by a cough, . inch as bronchitis and incipient con sumption. More than that, by reason of the other ingredients, Blondroot, Mandrake, Uolden Seal, and Queen's rout, all of the medicinal virtues of which are scienlillcitlly extracted and combined in Dr. l'ierce's Uolden Med ical Discovery, remarkable cures of dyspepsia ami stomach disorders have been iiccoinplishcd. Nearly (ortv years ago, Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glyo srine o' proper strength is a belter olvent ami preservative of the active medicinal principles residing ill most of our indigenous or native mediciti .1 plants than is alcohol. As its use is entirely uii.hj'clioti:ilile, while alcohol is well known when used even in tn til I portions, for n protracted period, to do lusting injury to the liiiimin sys tem, especially in the case of delicate women anil 'children, he decided to use chemically pure glycerine instead of the usually employed alcohol in the preparation of his medicines. He found that the glycerine, besides being entirely harmless, possesses in trinsic medicinal properties of great value. Its nutritive properties, Dr. Pierce believes, far surpass those of cod liver oil, entitling it to lavorahlo consideration in all cases of incipient consumption and '"liter w asting diseases. It is an invigorating, tonic alteiAtive ami owes its virtues to Nature's vege table garden. Dr. Pierce is only the I scientilic gur Nallirc's Oardcil. dener who I knows how to combine the lams given us by Nature to cure our ilL-ca-is. This prepara tion is of pleasant taste, agrees per fectly Willi rebellious and sensitive Stomachs, and is extremely effective in restoring tone and vigor to the entire sy-teni. It cures iiillainuiatorv troubles of the stomach as well as indigestion anil dyspepsia arising from weak stomach, tine reason why it restores the health of run-don n, pale and ema ciated people is because it lirst throws out the poisons from the blood through the liver ami kidneys. It then begins its reconstructive work in building lip flesh by lirst making good, rich, red blood. The "Uolden Medical Discovery" Is made, in a large laboratory, thoroughly equipped with every scientilic appliance, at Buffalo, N, Y. tjualitied chemists are in charge of the laboratory, with nearly a score of skilled physicians and Surgeons employed to Hcrminie, deter mine and prescribe these remedies and Other means of cure as seem best suited to many thousands of cases of chronic diseases which come before Iheni for treatment acli year. It costs you noth ing to write to 'Dr. K. V. 1'ierv--the head of tbrs Institution, at Ihilialo, N. Y. and ,;ct an accurate medical ohii.oii in your tpciual case and wholly icillniul charge. THE TRIP ABROAD. Bow to Prepare For Its Enjoynieaf In Sensible Manner. It is always well to get Into first class physical condition before you un dertake au ocean Journey, for you are sure to tax your strength dally as far as it will go, says the Cincinnati Com mercial Tribune. Your family physi cian can give you same safe, simple remedies fitted to your constitution, which you can take while abroad for any of the ordinary ailments to which your individual flesh is heir, thus spar ing you tunny an uncomfortable mo ment as well as the necessity of call ing in a strange practitioner. How ever good this doctor is, be may not Immediately know how best to treat you. The safest plan Is not to take any thing which your doctor does not heart ily indorse, tj uvoid sweets, uncooked fruit and all things not likely to agree with you. When nauseated, assume a recumbent attitude and remain as quiet as possible. Take only hot and easily assimilated food and have a hot water bag, which you can place either at your feet or stomach. Heat will soothe a spasm of seasickness when all other methods fall. Bpend as much time as possible on deck. All travelers will find It convenient to have a piece of oiled silk, olleloth or even waterproof cloth, 1! not a bog, wherein to wrap wet sponges and tow els. Besides all the usual toilet arti cles, travelers are expected to provide their own soap. This Is conveniently carried in the form of soap leaves. Be sure to have u celluloid case for your toothbrush brlBtles. A flat steamer trunk to be left at the steamer olllcc until your return is de sirable. This will contain your steam er rug and a small pillow anyhow and probably most of your steamer outfit A man should have on the steamer one medium weight traveling suit of good make able to withstand weather. Underwear of extra thickness will make this suit warm enough for cold ocean days, while a couple of suits of gauze underwear will adapt It to tem perate and even moderately hot days. An extra suit for emergencies, dress clothes, as need for them Is likely to arise; a mackintosh or raincoat, which can answer for overcant on cold days and even a dressing gowu on a pinch, make the bulk of the impedimenta. A felt hat of comfortable make and shape and a traveling cap answer ev ery purpose as headgear for the aver age tourist. Most travelers, male and female, will find It wise to take the least possible amount of clothing with them. The only article of which both exes should have a-plenty at the start Is footwear, which should be new, yet thoroughly broken In. Remember you are to wulk many a mile and stand many an hour. Low heels, rubber pre ferred, are an assistance, and In most cases "high necked" shoes are better than the "decollete" variety. Keep your ankles warm on shipboard. Ladles should set out with one tailor made skirt nnd Jacket, as plain as pos sible, of a material which will shed the rain and dust and stand the sun. These should be so constructed that you can get In and out of them without aid from anybody else. Belt, collar and tie should be securely fastened to shirt waist and Jacket, so that they cannot be mislaid even In an emergency. low to Cure Kor Tired Feet. reoplc who suffer from tired feet may note that n good deal of their dis comfort Is caused by the fact that they wear stockings that do not lit. In deed, the lit of stockings Is almost as Important lis Hint of shoes, says Lon don Lancet. They should have as few seams as possible, as these cause corns. The feet should be bathed at night, and this treatment Is nn ex cellent sleep producer. Tho water should be salted. The feet should ln scrubbed all over with u nailbrush, which will often prevent the formation of corns, while hard spots on the soles may be reduced with a piece of line emery paper or pumice stone before the feet are placed In water. How to Kee Our Wild Foerl. To keep our wild fowl from further decrease ami better to Increase their abundance It Is vitally uecessnry so to regulate shooting that there shall al ways remain each spring a sutllcleut breeding stink to return to the wilder ness "nurseries," certainly In no less numbers than the year before, says Country Life. Various restrictive measures which are now lu force are none too many and are eminently wise and necessary, but there are the best of reasons for believing that the thing most eiu1iiitioally needed at the pres ent time Is the absolute stopping of spring shooting In all parts of the country. How to Prevent Tan. if you are obliged to be out of doors very much you should secure a good cream and vegetable powder, says the Pittsburg Press Each time before venturing out apply a little of the cream and then dust ou the powder. In this way the face Is well protected, and yon will avoid another crop of the freckles and also Ih able to prevent the skin from Is-eonilng tanned.

If you hiive geraniums or any other plant for that matter that you Intend to make use of In the window garden next winter do not allow them to bloom during summer, says a writer In Out ing. Nip oft every bud as soon as seen. Throw the strength of the plant Into the development of branches. These should be shortened from time to time and made to produce side branches. In this way yon get a bushy, compact plant with a score of blossoming points where there would fee but few If yon allowed the plant to train Itself. A PItOMISE KEPT. bt lapcadio Hmaim. This story Is taken from a volume of Japanese Miscellany recently published by Little. Drown Co., of Boston. The volume Is ut unusual interest and con tains much of Japanese myths and tra ditions. "I hal return in the early autumn," said Akana Snyemnn several hundred years ago when bidding good-by to his brother by adoption young Hasebe bamon. 'the time was pnng, and the place waa the village of Kato, in the province of llarima. Akana was an Iziimo samurai, and be wanted to visit his birthplace. Ilanebe said: "Your Izumo the Country of the Eight Cloud Hiking it very distant. Perhapi it will therefore be ditlicult for you to promise to return here upon any particular day. Hut, if we were to know the exact day, we should feel happier. We could then pre pare a feast of welcome; and we could watch at the gateway for your coming." "Why, as for that," responded Akana, "1 have been to much accustomed to travel that I can usually tell beforehand how long it will take me to reach a place; and I "an safely promts you to be here usn a par ticular day. Suppose we say the day of the festival of Choyo!" "That it the ninth day of the ninth month," taid llatebe; "then thethrysanthe muint will be in bloom, and we can go to gether to look at them. How pleasant! So you promise to come back on the ninth day of the ninth month?" "On the ninth day of the ninth month," repeated Akana, smiling farewell. Then He trode away from the village of Kato, in the province of llarima and liasebe Samoa and the mother of Hasebe looked after him with teart in their eyet. "Neither the tun nor the moon," tayt an old Japanese proverb, "ever halt upon their journey." Swiftly the months went by; and the autumn cams the season of chrysanthe mums. And early upon the morning of the inth day of the ninth month Hasebe pre pared to welcome his adopted brother. He made ready a feaat of good things, bought wine, decorated the guestroom and filled the vases of the alcove with chrysanthe mums of two colon. Then his mother, watching him, said: "The province of Iiumo, my son, is more than 100 'ri' from this place; and the journey thence over the mountains ia difficult and weary; and you eannot be sure that Akana will be able to come to-day. Would it not be better, before you take all this trouble, to wait foV his eoming?" "Nay, mother!" Hasebe made answer, "Akana promised to be here to-day; he could not break a promise! And if he were to ace us beginning to make prepara tion after his arrival he would know that we had doubted his word; and we should be put to shame." The day was beautiful, the sky without a cloud and the air so pure that the world seemed to be a thousand miles wider than sual. In the morning many travelers passed through the village some of them samurai; and Hasebe, watching each as he came, more than once imagined that he saw Akana approaching. Hut the temple bells sounded the hour of midday, and Akana did not appear. Through the afternoon also Hasebe wntched and waited in vain. The sun set ; and still there was so sign of Aknwi. Nevertheless Hasebe remained at the gnte. suing down the road. Later his mother went to him and said: "The mind of a man, my son as our proverb deolares may change as quickly aa the sky of autumn. Hut your chrysanthemum flowers will still be fresh to-murnm. Itetier Row to xlcep, and in the morning you rim watch tigaiu for Akana if you wish." "IiHt well, moth er,' returned Hasebe; "but I still believe that he will come." Then the mot her w ent to her uwti room, and Haet lingered at the gate. I The night waa pure as the day hnd been; all the sky throbbed w ith stars: and the j white Hivcr of Heaven s'nmmercd with tin- 'usual splendor. The village slept; the si lence was broken only by the nnine of a lit tle brook and by tlie far.v.:iy baikitig of pentnnl' dog. Hasebe Mill waited waitetl until !e mw the thiii moon u.V bcliinil the nei'.,'"b"t'ieg lulls.

I p"c'.' ; and in the licit moment he rtvogiiied Akana. "On!" cneil Hasebe. springing to meet him. "I have been waiting for you from the morning until now! So you really did keep your pr.snise after all. ltut yen n iit ,. tire,', poor brother!- come ill ; evel tl.nv i'c.v' fir .Kl " Hrgn;iied Akana to the place of Monor in the guest room and liakteiusl to trim the lights, winch were burning low "Mother," continued I Hasebe, "felt a little tired this evening, and she has already gone to bed; but I shall awaken her presently." Akana sh.sik his head and made a little gesture of disap proval. "As you will, hrotlier," said Hasebe, and he set warm food and wine be fore the traveler. Akana did not touch the food or the wine, but rennaied n'oti. tile-m anil Mh-nt for a short tcie. Then, .-pekn g in a whisper -a if he feared awakening the Blether he ml : "Now 1 must tell you how it happened that 1 rune thus late.

After I left PASS, OREGON, NOVEMBER kit presence ke ordered my .ousin to aetain me-to keep me confined within the house. I protested that 1 had promised to return to llarima upon the ninth day of the math month, but I was refused permission to fo. I then hoped to escape from the c a.-ale at night, but I was constantly watched ; and until to-day I could find no way to fulfill my promise. "Until to-day!" exclaimed Haaebe, m be wilderment; "the castle ia more than a hn- trt' from here!" "Yet," returned Akana, "and no living man can travel on foot a hundred 'ri' in one day. But I felt that, if I did not keep my promise, you could not tiuuk well of me; and I remein! ered the ancient provr b: Tama yoku ichi nichi ni sen ri wn ytiku" (The soul of a man can journey a t ' i -and "ri" in a day'). Fortunately 1 had been al lowed to keep my sword; thus only was I ab!e to come to you. Be good to our moth'- ." . With these words he stood up, and in the same instant disappeared. Then Hasebe knew that Akana had killed fcimsclf in order to fulnll tne promise.
