1ILLACHE
POOR LITTLE JOHNNY!
AND HIS "TUMMY"!
Small boys, and many times large ones,
and occasionally girls, too, big and little,
suffer terribly from convulsive pains or
"cramps" in the bowels and stomach
pain so violent that it "doubles up" the
ones attacked, and makes it impossible for
them to stand up.
Some people call it colic, but most honest,
plavin-spoken people call h "belly-ache" and very
properly, for the teat of the trouble is in the
bowels, and caused by the violent efforts of the
bowels to rid themselves of something: which
dotrn't belong there. The small boy usually
?;eu it from over-eating- or from eating forbidden
ruit, and suffers mostly in the summer time.
It's spring now, and "in times of peace, prepare
for war." Let the boys and girls and the big
folks, too, for that matter, clean out the clogged
channels filled with winter bile and putrid undi
gested food, strengthen the 30-fcet of bowel
canal, liven up the liver, and "summer belly
aches" will have no terrors, because ther won't
happen. The way to make the body ache-proof is to use CASCARETS, gentle, sweet, fragrant
CaSCARETS, the perfect system cleaners and bowel strengtheners. For fear that anybody in the
family should ever be attacked by belly-ache, keep a box of CASCARETS in the house always, and
remember that all pains and troubles in your insides are

50O.OOO Worth of Cheap Cottons
for th Meal m.
(Cyrus C. Adams in Aainslec's.)
It is pleasing to turn from the itvolt
ng spectacle of some of the West Af--kan
tribes who had been bestialized by
iheir oevotion to trade gin, to the pic
tuie which travek-is draw of the gieal
hausa eiiiu-s of the Sudan, under Mo
tammedun dominion, for a centuiy,
nhere such a thing as a bottle of spirits
is never seen. For a hundred yeais
:he Mohammedans of North Africa have
been pushing across the r-ahara and
the Sudan, bringing all the barbarous
peoples they have met under the in
fluence of Islam. Thus Mohammedan
Ism has for more profoundly affected
the lives of many millions of black Af
ricans than the Christian influences,
which are only Just beginning to make
large headway. It cannot be said that
this influence of Islam Is wholly salu
tary, though many observers, like the
learned Dr. Blyden, of Liberia, regard
Islam as the greatest civilizing agency
yet introduced into Africa; but these
Mosle mproselytes have made the na
tives better than they found them, and
have stimulated foreign trade with
Darkest Africa" to a remarkable ex
tent. When Stanley and other explor
ers began to penetrate equatorial re
gions they said:
"These tribes around the lakes, who
dress in long garments made of bark
fibre, are beginning to discard their
flimsy native cloth and are swathing
their bodies with fold after fold of
white cottons from England ?nd Amer
lea. The Arabs among them dress in
these cloths and have convinced the na
tlves of their advantage over the home
made cloth. A great future Is coming
for the cloth trade In Inner Africa.'
' The trade Is growing every year,
Scores of tribes in Central Africa are
eager to buy 'Mercani,' as they call the
cottons made in America, which trad
trs now bring to their villages. Abou
October in every year the great cara
van, that crosses the Sahara from Mo
rocco to Timbuktu, starts on Its way
The caravan always numbers about 10,
000 camels, and a fifth of them are laden.
with white American and British cot
tons, and blue and other colors. The
greatest imports of Tripoli, which is
the other great center of the desert
caravan trade, are cotton cloths, and
most of them are sent to the desert
oases and the fertile Soudan beyond
White cottons are among the largest
Imports of Zanzibar, and many of them
are sent Inland to the natives, who nev
er saw these manufactures till the Ar
abs appeared among them in their
white garments. England has the larg
est share in this trade, but $500,000
worth of our cheap, uncolored cottonB
were sent Into the wilds of Africa last
year, and It Is the Moslem who has
opened these new markets for the tex
tiles of the 'infidel' nations."
"But the Mohammedans have done
more than to open these new markets
They have stimulated textile manufac
tures In the very heart of Africa to
such an extent that cloth made in the
Sudan Is now for sale in Mediterranean
cities. The town of Kano, only a few
days' Journey from Lake Tchad, has
been well called "the Manchester of
Central Africa," for the cloth It weaves
from native cotton clothes more than
half the people of the central Sudan
Fanatical followers of Islam cannot
keep out of touch with the rest of the
world, though they may for years wall
cities like Timbuktu and Harrar, and
seal up great regions, .like the Egyptian
Sudan, against every white race. They
may proclaim war on the infidel while
at the same time their very tastes and
aptitudes are opening ways through
which foreign commerce enters as wa
ter Invades a leaking ship.

Account of China' Government
and Ita Dependencies.
China and its dependencies of Man
"huria, Mongolia, Thibet and Jungaria
constitute the Chinese empire. In the
government of the empire first comes
the emperor, who governs according lo
the laws laid down in "The Collected
Regulations of the Ts'ing Dynasty." He
has a privy council, which is charged
with the "supreme direction" of the
affairs of the empire. This would seem
to be an advisory or legislative body
as it has nothing to do with the exec
utive branch of the government, which
Is under the "supreme direction" of a
cabinet comprising four members two
of Manchu and two of Chinese blood.
The Munchus Tartars by the way.
the ruling race in China, are distinct
from the real Chinese, and are greatly
outnumbered by them. Attached to
the cabinet are two learned men from
the "Great College," whose business it
is to see that nothing Is done In vio
lation of the "Collected Regulations"
(which may be likened to the constitu
tion of another country), or of the
sacred books of Confucius. They are.
In fact, legal and spiritual advisers of
the cabinet.
Under the orders of the cabinet are
seven administrative boards, each pre
sided over by two officials, one a Man
chu Tartar and the other a Chinese.
The boards are of civil affairs, military
affairs, of "rites and ceremonies," of
public works, of crlmlnl Jurisprudence,
of the admiralty and of finance.
Independent of the government and
theoretically above the central admin
istration is the board of public censors,
composed of from forty to fifty mem
bers. By ancient custom the members
of this board are privileged to present
remonstrances to the emperor, and one
member must be present at each meet
ing of every government board.
China proper, the "Middle Kingdom,"
is divided Into eighteen provinces, each
governed by a governor, more com
monly spoken of as a viceroy, who Is
directly responsible to the emperor.who
appoints him, for all the administra
tion of his province, civil, military, Ju
dcial and flnancal. He has almost ab
solute power over everything and every
one in his province, with one exception,
if a Manchu garrison is quartered in
any town in his province, he cannot
interfere with it. Its commander is
responsible only to Pekin.
The tsung-ll-yamen, of which we hear
so much, is the Chinese foreign office.
It la composed of all the members of
the privy and grand council and six
other officials of the very highest rank.
Manchuria, whence came the present
rulers of the empire, is the most popu
Iouh of China's dependencies. It lies to
the northeast of China, and Its popular
tion is estimated at 7,500,000.
Its area is much more than twice that
of the combined areas of New England,
New York, Pennsylvania and New Jer
sey. It is twice the size of Japan, over
six times the t'lze of ' England and
Wales and one-fourth the size of China
proper.
It is divided for purposes of govern
ment Into three provinces, one of which
is ruled by a civil governor, and the
other two by military governors.
Mongolia has an area nearly as large
as China proper, that is 1,228,000 square
miles. It has over 100,000 more square
miles than Montana, Wyoming, Colo
rado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Ne
vada, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and
California combined. It is bigger than
all Europe leaving out Russia and Swe
den and Norway.
Its population Is about 2,000,000.
The Mongols are governed by their
native princes, and pay no taxes to
China. In fact, the princes are sub
sldized by the Imperial government on
condition that they acknowledge th
