Edward Uodloe of Philadelphia, the famous wit who is now United States consul at Arhoy, China, in his latest report to tho secretary of state, submits -an inventory of tho furniture of the consulate, with some interesting and characteristic comments on life in China, and the effects of tho insects upon the government property. The genial doctor apparently imagined that his placo is to bo Ki7En to one of "the original Cleveland men," BO ho had cleaned up his consulato.and reported accordingly, under Uato of March 11, to tho Btattj department OB have tho honor to forward herewith an inventory of tho property of this consulate belonging to the United States government. 1 am unable to slate its present valuo on account of tho ravages of tho climate and of insect life. These aro so great tbat tho only article iu my puHHUBBion which I can pronounce undamaged is tho iron safe. To an American, no matter how philosophic, tlio conditions of life in Amoy aro exaaperatingly novel.

Almost every wood article ia bound aoouor or later to bo devoured by white ants. Tho adult inaoct Jhys a million eggs, which batch and forthwith bouiu to bore away from the light. As tho grub perforates the surface tho wood it is as iargo OH the point uf a nuedlo, BO that tho holo it makes IB invisible to tho naked oyo, "It grows rapidly, and by BOIIIU Htrango chemistry thrives upon dry wood' without any moisture, except what it extracts or absorbs from tho atmosphere. It novor utopa work until it attains its full size, which is about flvo times that of tho garden ant at homo. Thon, in largo groups, it boras outward, producing holes which vury in size and shape from an inch and a quarter in diameter to a Roam six inches long.

As it emerges it has wings and behaves somewhat like a boo in hiving season. "By day it moves out littlo, but at dark it starts for tho nearest light. It in fascinated by tho latter exactly as IB a moth. It plunges into your lamp by millions, and in a few minutes is scorched and wingless. Tho nuisance is so groat that it stops dinners and forces people to either swelter in a closo room or to oat in the dark.

In two years I have known over thirty dinner parties to bo broken up in this manner. Oil one occasion in this consulate the dead and living ants filled every plato and glass and covered everything and everybody in tho dining room. The next morning tho servants swept out more than two bushels of dead insects. But to this trouble one gots used. Tho wood from which they have on ton the interior is a mere honeycomb, breaking or collapsing without warn- inc.

Since 1 have been bore the floor in my ollica has boon undermined in this way, nnd twice broken through 'undor my weight. (Tho doctor only woigns 118 pounds.) Chairs, tables, boxed, a bookcase, rucks, doors and win- dowg bnvo shared tho same fate. At tho present moment I know that the ants aro busy inside of a dozen pieces of furniture in the house, and I can do nothing but await thoir end. For this reason 1 um unable to state tho value or oven tho rea! condition of anything wooden in the establishment, "Minor evlla aro tho cockroaches, which fly in thnDo latitudes, and show strong prodiloo- tlon for tho fingernails and toonatls of persons asloep, as well as for all kinds of bookbinding, leather goods and old papers; several varieties of largo spiders of forociourj aspect but peaceful disposition; rod ants, which fight everything and fear nothing, and four or five inflects or microboH which burrow into the skin and produce cutaneous troubles resembling itch. The climate is unfavorable for the proaorvation of anything.

The northeast monsoon is a perpetual gale, and the southwest monsoon season we aro constantly visited by typhoons, which are the cyclones of tho far oast. "In addition to these are the high winds, tho atmospheric moisture of which has no parallel at homo. In tho damp season everything leaks. The water condenses on the waits and furniturn and runs to tho floor in rivulets and pools. In cities like Hong Kong architects put drying rooms into houses, where tho wearing apparel ia duly cookod before using.

For this reason I bog to suggest to tho department that in books designed for this part of tho world arHonic, morcury, or such ingredients aa may prevent or raaist the lowor forma of life, animal and. vegetable, should bo employed in binding and covers." NorvoUB prostration (neurasthenia), spina nervousness and weakness ore ditfo ont names glvou to an affection of tbo norvcu which is bocomiug inoro uud mor common. Tho habits of tho average Amor can are, iu almost ovory particular, calculate tu produce this form of nervous diuortlo Hard work, closo competition, business uuce tamtioB, littlo oloep and high living, tho uso narcotics--all tend alike to Injuro tho nervou system. The dress and customs of polite soo oty, tbo over-increasing pressure of buainos circles, tho reckless indulgence uf the sportin classes--each furnish thair quota to swell th terrible list of uervouo wreoke that crow tho many hospitals and sanitariums of ou country. Thousands remain nt thoir homos desperately trying to go through the tediou routine of the duties of household, farm, sho or office, taking nervine aftor nervine, vainl striving to put oft the day whon they sha break down altogether.

A burden to thorn selves, a trial to thoir friendu, these unfortun ate people continue to drag out a misorabl existence year after year, SYMPTOMS. Probably tho moat invariable symptom i the history of nervous prostration is niorbi fear. A foreboding of calamity of somo sort vaguo approhenmous, a sonso that somoLhiaj awful about to happen, often precedes for i long timo the general debility which ia to fo low. Tho loss of vitality uf tha nervous uya tern deranges tho functions more or less every organ in the body. The head is ono da congested with too much blood, and povhap the next day pallid because of too little blood Twitching uf tho eyelids, moving brown specks boforo the eyes, and metallic ringing i the ears are the result of brum exhaustion Tbe appetite and digestion may remain good although loss of appetite and nervous dyspep sia aro vory often prominent symptoms iu such cases.

Sour stomach after noting, witl bslohiug of gas, is yury troublesome--a feel ing of groat weight in tbe stomach after oat- ing a full meal, producing iu sumo cases a terrible depression, causing tho patient indescribable suffering, even when tho appetite and digestion remain good. Morbid fear of leaving homo, or boing separated from their usual attendants, also taking medicine for fear of boing poisoned fear of groat storms, of crowded assemblies all or cither, and many others are likely to be present ia a decided caso of nervous prostra tiun. A constant desire to calk of their aymj- torns ia commonly oo treat as to iQuko it did cult to keep such patients long at a time talk ing or thinking of anything else. Chills out hot flushes of vory irregular duration and re curronco come and go without seeming cause, Tho hands and feet are usually cold uud clam my, and thu general tendency is to drynesa and coldness of the skin of tbe whole body. Among tho symptoms to which thia class patients are liable, but not always present may be montionod neuralgic headache, nervous chills, hysteria, sinking or faint spelln.

distressing palpitation of tho heart, defective eyesight, total inability to road, write or do any business; urine abundant, without color, loss of ileub, sleeplessness, sexual excitability, and many others, of which each caao presents a Sifferont array. MEDICAL TBEATMKST. The first difficulty I moot with in tho prope: treatment of nervous prostration is to got my patients rid of the many nervines, stimulants and sedatives which they have usually becoino accustomed to boforo consulting mo. It would bo difllcult to overestimate the damage thouo drugs do In such canes. Bromides, vniorinntcs, chloral, opium in every form, caffeine, cocaine and many others aro all alike of grout injury and of no possible good.

To got all those and many other similar remedies away from tho patient, and Po-ru-na iu their stead, is the first thing to bo accomplished, Boforo tho patient haa takon Pe-ru-na, to tho of clac. two iiioutha, theru is a marked change in all the symptoms. Tho appetite becomes regular, sloop natural, and ovory disagreeable symptom improved. Of couroo it ia uaually longer before a permanent cure is realized, but it ia only a question of time; Pe-ru-na will not fail to euro a single uncomplicated caso. Po-ru-na is a perfect specific fur these cases, and ia absolutely in- Tiuoiluo.

There oru bo failures where these directions are faithfully followed. Tho iru- provomunt is prompt, and the patient can rest asflurod that a perfect cure will follow a por- aietont use of it. There should bo on entire change of habits, and the diet should consist largely of animal food. Walking, riding or rowing, and outdoor employments, as much as the strength of tha pationt will allow, is indispensable. A Buili- cient dosu of Mau-a-lin should bo takon at bedtime to produce ono natural movement of the bowels each day.

Po-ru-nn bo taken immediately boforo eating, beginning with a very small dose and gradually increasing until two tablcspoonfula aro taken boforo each meal. Po-ru-na may be lakun between meals, or at night, to rolieve bad spells, in such doaoa as may bo found necessary. No other medicine should be taken.
