The city is ali on the gr mi d, or at the \ ory most ir will not average more than a story a d a hal. in height. Where the shops a c th; kest, ca h square is an unbroken s c cssion of wide doorways; for of eve v shop th t whole end next to the s'reet takes out bodily. From one street corner to the next, there is only a su cessiou of open ended rooms and par tition walls, with dnk, narrow passages thrown in here ar.d there. There is no architecture vis ble, f< r tho houses are so jammed togeth r that is is impossible to single out any one in particular without climbing o:i the roof to see how much it covers. If This is not a street in Wonderland it might as well be. It is only about eight feet wide, arid manv are less.

There are no carriages, carts, drays, big freight wagon*, cmn buses, or street cars O to run over yon, if you fail to get out of the way; for ull the freight is car ried bv coolie*. Now and then, however, your wool gathering is disturbed by a stir and loud shouting a little way down the street, and you s e the crowd parting to right and left. Then you know there is a sedan chair coming and you take shelter behind a sign boa d, or in a friendly doorway, or flatten yourself against a wdl until the peripatetic nui-ance has gone by. But the streets are so narrow that chairs are not very often used. They move tco slowly; it takes too much shouting to ch ar the way, and when two meet in a narr w thoroughfare one has to be sida tracked before the other can g. t by. The use of the chair, tbereforo ; is confine! to l*?y me -chants and officers, weak women and swell Europeans. For my part, I would not do Canton* in a sedan cha r if I could have a whole set for nothing. But there i3 one drawback to pedos- trianism. As you piss along you are obi ged to be on the alert to keep from coming into coll'siou with ha’f naked coo ies, ca rying all sorts of loads.

The question whether water is fatten ing or otherwise has been much dis cussed. Foime.ly it was generally as serted that the victims of obesity shou d moitify t c flesh and reduce the fat by abstai .ing as much as po sible trom liquids and remaining in a continual state of thirst. Latterly t ie opposite has been a firmed, cud i am told that a reduction of w. ightis one of the results claimed by “the hot-water cure,” pro vided alw ivs that ti e w iter is taken as hot as possible, painfully hot, and in great quantities. Experiment* have been made in Faris by Dr. Debovc which controvert both these doctrines. The e experiments in dicate that, provided the same amount of solid food i* taken, la ge quantities of water ma.ee a man neither thinu.-r nor ialt r. They were carefully made on a friend who took weighed t uantities of food da lv, and while these remained equal doubling the quantity of water had uomeasu able effect on the weight o the body. Still, it i3 quite possible that the old theo-y of thirt cure and the new theory of hot water cure may both be,correct. Both violate the correct. Both violate the na'ural borer.

When tho Board of Trade of Chicago moved from the old business center there was a rush for ihe old offices vacated by the nabo's of commerce. After awhile, the new tenants found the high-priced rooms didn't pay, and sought all kinds of excuses to move. Among these unfortunates were Stubbs and Stobbs. Each had rented an office, Stubbs in the basement, Stobbs in the attic. When the renting agent came around, Mr. Stubbs announced bis inten tion of moving. * “But you can’t doit, you know,” said the agent. “Why not ?” “We’ve got you on a year’s lease.* “Well, I have reasons for the case.” “What reason ?” “This basement room is damp. The glue in the desks got so moist they fell to pieces. The books arc all moldy, and I’ve got rheumatism from it. I’d ought to sue you for damages.” The agent looked seared, muttered something about “being sorry, move, of course, if you must,” and went to sec Mr. Stobbs. Stobbs surprised him wfth a similar declaration of intention to move. “What’s your complaint?” growled the agent. “Dampness here, too, I sup pose ?” “No, sir, just the reverse. Why, sir, the sun has blistered the floor till it’s all out of plumb, my new desk is all scorch ed, and I’ve got no blood left, with the dry rot in this place.” “You got very badly deceived by two very shrewed men.” a friend told the agent, a day or two later. “Those scamps got rich on those offices.” “How so ? They said wet and dry—” “Yes, Stubbs was in the basement next door to a saloon. Kept full all the tim , and got so jovial that everybody liked him. Business boomed on account of his rare good-nature.” “And Stobbs ?” “He was dry—very dry. saloon eight flights down, for a month from necessity, and saved weeks !” Basement Kept 8cbo» reformed, a farm in drinks in two What’s the Too ^ro.

They were so con fident of their security that they did not think of looking beneath our dust-laden clothes for Confederates. We were too few in number to take possession, and must lie low until joined by others of our party, so we straggled around making observations. There were several finely furnished sutler stores, and one of these, with two of my comrades, I entered. As we stepped to the bar, which was finely and abundantly stocked, the proprietor asked: “l hnmptgne, gentlemen?” “Certainly, and some of your finest havauas.” we replied. “May I ask to what cavalry you be long,’ he continued. “We? Oh, we are a new company sent out after that rebel Stuart.” “You do not mean to say he is any where near here, do you? Of course he is not. He would not dare venture here, with the whole of McClellan’s army in front of us.” “We con'inued quietly sampling the fluids, while he continued: “I’m not a fighting man myself, but I’d show him how that case could speak, if I ever set eyes on him,” pointing to a case of fine revolvers exhibited for sale. Just then there was an unusual noise without, and we caught a glimpse of the remainder of our command, and we said: “Yi-u had better set out a few more glasses, and open another bottle or two; those are some of our friends. Yes, there is no use fooling longer, we are Stuar’s cavalry.” He, as well as several finely dressed loafers, was too much astonished to make the slightest resistance, and we were soon in ]>ossession. , Such is Life.

Six ^eais later he returns. His sweet heart of former years has married. They meet at a party. Between the dances the recognition takes place. “Let me see,” she muses, with h^r far, beating a tattoo on her pretty hand, “was it you or your brother who was my old sweathc rt ?” “Realli, I don’t know,” he says. “Probably my brother.” The conversation ends.

D., 1 resident of the Mate Beard of Health of Iowa, anil A’e ander Neil, M D., Professor of Surgery in the Col ege of Physicians and Burgeons and i le-s rient of the Academy of Medicine at Columous, who, after exhaustive inquiry, reported that there was no remedy known to schools or to scientific inquiry equal to Warner’s safe euro!” “Arc many persons addi.ted to the use of deadly drugs:” “There ate forty mil ions of people in the world w ho use opium alone, an 1 there are many hundreds of thousands in this coun ry who are victims of moron.ne, opium, quinine ami cocaine. They think they have uo such lrab.t about them—so ma ty teople are un conscious victims of th se habits They ha. e pains aud symptoms of what they cad ma aria an l other diseases, when in reality it is the demand in the system for these terrible dr.-gs, a demand that is cat sed largely by physi iaus’pres riptions which contain so many dangerous dru; and strong spirits, and one that must auswered or sileuoed in the kidneys aud liver by what Dr. Stej Liens -a , s is the only kidney and liter spe. i c He also says that modem* e oi’ium aud other drug eaters, if they sustain the kidney and liver vigor with that great remedy, < an keep up these habits in modera tion.” __ ive you a cure?” years 1 have tried to convince the public that nearly all the diseases of Ihe human sy tern originate in s- me disorder of the kidney’s or liver, and hence I have logi'ally declared that if our s ecific were used, over ninety per r ent. o. the e ailments would d sappear. The liver aud kidneys see n to absn b these poison* lroui the blood ar.d be ome denraved and dBe*e j d. “When those omiuem authorities thus pub licly admit that the. e is no remedy like ours to enable t he kidneys and liver to throw off the frightful e re ts of all deadly drugs aud e cesdve use of stimulants it is an admission of its power as great as any one ouid desire; for if thro, gl- its influence alone tbe op u n, morphine, quinine, coc ine and ii mor habits can ne overcome, what higher testi uon al of its spe ific powtr could b asked for <” “ i ou really bel ove then, Mr. Warner, that the ma ority of di cases come from kid ney aud liver complain- s {” “Ido! \\h;n you see a person moping and groveling about, half deal and half ali e, y ar alter year, you may surely put him yvn as having some kidney aad liver uble.” “The other day I was talking with Dr. Fowler, the eminent oculi t of this citv, who sa d that half the patients who < ame to him for eye treatment were affected by a t\ an ed kidnev disease. No.v many people wouder why ia middle life t'.ieir eye sight becomes 8o > oor. A thorough course of treatment with Warner’s sa e cure is what they n -ed more than a pair of eye glasses. The kidney poison iD t* e blood always atta kstho weak est i art of the body; with s.une it affects the eyes; with others the heat; with others the stomach or the lungs, or rheumatic disorder follows and n uralgia tears them to pieces, or they lose tbe powers of ta te, smell, or be come i a? ot nt in other functions of tbe b >dy. What man would n t give his all to ha> e the vigor of youth at ct nurandi” “Thj intell'geut physician knows that these com la ntsaie but s mptoms; they are not the disorder, and they are symptoms n<_t of disease of the hea 1, the eye or stonia h, or ot virility, re e sarily, blit of the kidney poison in the bl od and thev n ay prevail and no pain oc ur in the ki nevs.” It is not itian re that the enthusiasm which Mr. \\ a tier disn’ays in his appre iation of his own remedy, which restored him to healthy when the doctors said he could not live six months, should become infectious R'.d that the entire world should pay tribnte to :ts j ower. For, as Mr. Warner says, the sal< 8 are constantly increasing, while his m-wsi aper ad\ ertising is constantly diiuin- isn rg. this speaks volumes in praise of the oxtiaord.nary merit* ot hi- r>re’>aiations.
