BALDWIN ASIA IS WONDERFUL T'jftt Continent the Stasre for Prominent ! Historical Figures. | Writing of his travels in the Orient, Lord Curzon, the present viceroy of India, has the following good word to ; say for Asia in general: Asia has al-; ways appeared to me to possess a fas- j cination which no country or empire in Europe, still less any part of the western hemisphere, can, claim. It is believed by many to have been the cradle of our race, and the birthplace of our language, just as it certainly has been the hearthstone of our religion, and the fountain-head of the best of our ideas. Wide as is the chasm that now severs us, with its philosophy our thought is still interpenetrated. The Asian continent has supplied a scene for the principal events, and a stage for the most prominent figures, in his tory. Of Asian parentage is that force which, more than any other influence, has transformed and glorified man kind—viz., the belief in a single Deity. ■Five of the six greatest moral teachers that the world has seen—Moses, Bud j^«lha, Confucius, Jesus and Mahommed —were born of Asian parents, and lived upon Asian soil. Roughly speak ing, their creeds may be said to have divided tlie conquest of the universe. The most famous or the wisest of kings—Solomon, Nebuchadnezzar, Cy rus, Timur, Baber, Akbar—have sat upon the Asian thrones. Thither the great conqueror of the Old World turned aside for the sole theater be fitting so enormous an ambition. The three most populous existing empires— Great Britain, Russia and China—are Asian empires, and it is because they m’e not merely European but Asian Mat the two former are included in the category. To Asia we owe tne noblest product of all literature, in the Old Testament of the Hebrew Scrip tures; the sweetest of lyrics, in the epithalamium of a Jewish king; the embryos, of modern knowledge, in the empiricism of Arabian geometers and metaphysicians. In Asia the drama was born. There the greatest writer of an tiquity chose a scene for his immortal epic. There, too, the mariner’s com vpass first guided men over the pathless praters. In our own times alone it is ;with her aid that we have arrived at the evolution of threo new sciences— comparative mythology, comparative jurisprudence, and philology. Prom Asia we have received the architecture of the Moslem—that most spiritual and refined of human conceptions—the por celain of China, the faience of Persia, Rhodes, and .Damascus, the infinitely ingenious art of Japan. On her soil was reared the most astonishing of all cities, Babylon; the • ost princely of palaces, Persopolis; the stateliest of temples, Angkor Wat; the loveliest of tombs, the Taj Mahal. There, too, may be found the most wonderful of Na ture’s productions—the loftiest moun tains on the surface of the globe, the most renowned, if not the largest, of rivers, the most entrancing of land scapes. In the heart of Asia lies to this day the one mystery which the nineteenth century has still left for the twentieth to explore—viz., the Tib |v. etyi oracle of Lhasa. loans.—E. H. Benedict O’Neill. 27-6 A Deep Mystery. It is ii mystery why women endure Backache, Headache. Nervousness Sleeplessness, Melancholy , Fainting and Dizzi Spells when thousands have prov ed that Electric Bitters will quickly cure such troubles. “I suffered for years with kidney trouble,” writes Mrs Pliebe Oberely, of Peterson, la., “and a lame back pained rue so 1 could not dress ini «elf, but Electric BiMers whoolly cured me, and, although 73 years old, I now am able to Jo my house work.” It over comes Constipation, improves Appetite, gives perfect health.

But this merely disguises the odor. A bad breath comes chiefly from d cayi g teeth, and in some cases has its origin in a disordered stomach. When dis eased teeth cause impure breath, re course should be had to a dentist; when organic disease is the cause, as is very often the case, a physic an should always be consulted. The br ath should always be kept sweet, and p o ple should guard against making them selves disagreeable to their associat s by being indifferent in this matttsr. Many a womaiv otherwise cha'ming in every respect, has unwittingly reprlled her acquaintances by her impure breath.—New York Weekly. Blown To Atoms.

German papers relate that Captain Baron Holzing recently covered a dis tance of fifteen kilometers (nine and a quarter miles) on horseback in twenty-five minutes. His horse had been especially trained for the ride, having been fed on a prepared food, instead of oats, for weeks. The ride was accomplished without extrao. di nary exertion, and the horse was fit for more work at the finish.

In ordinary apple years the waste of skin and cores amounts to 500 or 600 carloads, and during yeajs of abundant yield it runs a3 high as 1,200 and 1.500 carloads. All this waste now goes to the factories, which make cheap jel lies. There are upward of 140 of these factories in the country and they have an annual capacity of some 200,000,000 t pounds. Capper Deposit* In Ireland. It is well known that very impor tant copper deposits exist in Ireland, and it is probable that a large amount of British capital will shortly be em ployed in the development and oper ation of mines in the Midlands and West, and there is every likelihood of the venture turning out most remun erative. The ore from some of the mines shows a high percentage of cop per, and the situation of the mines is such as to make the transport of the ore to Swansea for smelting pur poses a comparatively inexpensive matter. _ Nervous children are almost always thin children.

Twenty-two Indians from the Cat taraugus reservation, near Erie, Pa., have gone to Westcott, Wyo., where they will affiliate with what is left of the once powerful Modoc tribe. This party is to act as advance guard from those left on eastern reservations, all of whom are tired of their present lo cation. They claim that they can have more freedom in the west. j ■_ Are you nervous, run down, weak and dispirited? Take a few doses of Ilerbine.

It ia proposed to make under the title of Publishers’ Exhibit In the D - partment of Liberal Arts at the P n American Exposition, Buffalo, a col lective exhibit of books and pe iodl cals. A space, sixteen by twenty f et in floor area, facing an a sle and threa sides, will be surrounded by cases, and bo provided with tables In the Interior. The shelving in the wall cases will furnish exhibit space for books in any desired number, from single volumes to the whole exhibit of a publishing house. Cases glazed all around will occupy the corners between aisles. Large books and periodicals may find places in the tables, if neces sary in glazed cases. Space above wall cases may be occupied with posters, etc. The expense of this Installation will be borne by the occupants, and will be both general and special. Gen eral expense, such as the cost of floor space, of installation, of attendance anJ janitor service will be divided among all the occupants of the area in accord ance with estimated benefit. Special expenses, such as that of cases or ta bles, or of shelf room In cases, will ba assessed pro rata of the cost of the cases upon the special occupants there of. The articles shown will be labeled tastefully and clearly. Each will ba eligible for award. A publisher who wishes to occupy an entire case may furnish his own, if conformable to the general design. It is believed that the method proposed will be economical of space and of expense, and that wlr n successfully carried into effect it will be much more satisfactory than the re sults which would follow assignment of space to be occupied by s.parate booths constructed by the several ix hibitors. Desk room will not be pro vided; sales and the soliciting of sub scriptions will not be permitted. HOlD on life. A Man Walks Twenty M'los with HU llratn Protruding. It would hardiy be possible to find k case of remarkable vitality parallel to that recorded in a letter from a sol dier in the Transvaal which Is engag ing the attention of the medical jour nals. TLa letter is from an officer of unimpeachable veracity. He says: “Yesterday we had another wonderful proof of the remarkable endurance and vitality of savage races. It is not very nice family reading, but I must tell it "to you, as it seems to be sucha really marvelous instance of endurance. Yes terday morning a Kaffir was admitted into our lines with hi3 head lacerated most terribly. He actually walked into camp with a hole right through his head and his brain protruding through the wound and dried on to his forehead by the sun. He was a fearful sight. We banded him over to the doctor,to whom he afterward stated that he had walked all the way from a Boer laager about twenty miles away. He had had a quarrel with his master, who as a pun ishment had broken his thumb with a sjambok and afterward placed a re volver to the back of his head and fired a bullet through It. The native was left in a donga for dead, but after lying senseless for three days, exposed to the sun and flies by day and the cold by night, he actually walked the whole distance without food until he reached our camp. Our doctor takes It as an affront to medical knowledge that the man should be alive and has sent him to the hospital at Standerton for ex amination by the medical staff there.” —New York Press. SUNDAY SCHOOLS. They Originated in Milan. Italy, Under Cardinal Borromto, Sunday schools originated in Milan. Italy, undcT the direction of Cardinal Borromeo, in 1580. By his aid and in fluence numerous stfliools for the dis semination of theological information of a rudimentary character were es tablished. About the middle of the next century Rev. Joseph Alleine in augurated Sunday schools in London, and between 1760 and 1763 a number of Sunday schools were started In var ious parts of England and Scotland by Rev. David Blair and Rev. Theophilus Lindsey. Robert Raikes of Gloucester lent valuable aid In establishing Sun day schools In the vicinity of his home, where he was the publisher of the Gloucester Journal. In 1781 he paid rent for suitable rooms and halls, and in them installed poor women as in structors, to whom he paid a shilling a day each for teaching poor children a fundamental knowledge of Chris tianity. His efforts had great influ ence: other philanthropists followed his example, and soon Sunday schools began to spring up In most of the larger towns of England. The first Sunday school in America was started in Hanover county, Virginia, In 1786, under the leadership of Bishop As bury.—New York Weekly. Measuring: the Earth. After nearly thirty years of con stant effort and the expenditure or nearly £100,000, scientists have suc ceeded in accurately measuring the earth. They have learned that its diameter through the equator is 7,92ti miles; its height from pole to pole 7,890 miles. The earth, therefore, is flattened at the poles; and while this fact has long been asserted, the ac tual measurement has removed the question from the domain of doubt. Mexico Days American Book*. Mexico buys more American books than does France, and nearly as many as Germany. Much of this trade is due to the large resident American popu lation to be found in Mexican citks and to the demand from mining camps j where Americans are living, and not a little is due tc the growing spread of j English among the Mexican people.
