As Others See Us.
A Chinese publication quoted by
tbe Tacoma News illustrates the fact
that we are not alone in viewing with
disfavor or amusement the habits,
ideas and character of those whose
civilisation is unlike our own. Tbe
Chinese writer evidently has his doubts
about the tales of our greatness. If
foreign countries sre ss grand and
rich as they are represented to be, why
is it, he asks, that there are so many
foreigners looking for a living in
China? And he knows our tricks and
our ways, for he says:
• They live months without eating a
mouthful of rice; they eat bollocks
and sheep io enormous quantities;
they have tn bathe frequently ; they
eat meat with knives and prongs; they
take enormous quantities of whiskey;
they hurry with everything, instead of
resting like civilised persons; they
never enjoy themselves by sitting
quietly on their ancestors’ graves, but
jump around and kick balls as if paid
to do it; they take long tramps into
the country, waving sticks in the air,
nobody knows why; they have no
sense of dignity, for they may be found
walking with women; they even sit
down at tbe same table with women,
and the latter are served first; on fes
tive occasions tbe women are compell*
ed to appear partly naked before every
man who likes to look at them, and
they are dragged around the room to
the accompaniment of tbe most dis
cordant music.”

WaSHIMOTdx, Aug. 4—The opera
tions of the military and naval forces
of the United States in tbe war have
taught the federal authories many
valuable lessons, not the least of wbioh
is the great benefit derived by the use
of smokeless powder.
Tbe nsvsl administration has been
studying tbe smokeless powder ’ques
tion in all its espects tor several years,
but practical experience was not bad
until tbe siege of Santiago to demon
strate how necessary this brand ot ex
plosive la for the purpose of warfare.
As a result of tbe renewed consider
ation in the light of what was demon
strated at Santiago, particularly by the
Now Orleans, the only vessel of the
American fleet using the new explo
sive, tbe nsvy department decided to
putchase 1,000,000 pounds of smoke
less puwder lot general distribution
among the ships of the aervioe. Tbe
requirements of the navy are 3,500,000
pounds, so that powder of the smoke
less variety will fill lees than a third of
the magazine space on the various war
vessels.
Eighty cents a pound is the eeth
mate made by the navy department
for the entire contract, thus insuring
an expenditure of $890,000 for tbe ini
tial contract.
Tbe navy department will also re
ceive bids sooif for furnishing project
iles of all calibres, from the little one
pounders to the big 13 inch rifles of
tbe battleships Indiana, Massachusetts
and Oregon. A million dollars will be
expended in these contracts.
A number of firms which make bi
cycle manufacturing their principal
business are evidently contemplating
i branching out into the making of pro
jectiles, for they have asked the navy
i department for copies of specifications
in relation to tbe projectile bids,
Whether these bicycle firms will show
their ability to undertake the making
of piojectiles tbe navy department
. does not know, but tbe opinion among
i officials is that they will not be able to
' do the work. However, one bicycle
company has recently gone into pro
jectile manufacturing, and is now en
gaged on a contract for furnishing
some cast steel shells.

I* is announced that our annual harvest
st flies is diminishing in number, and not
less surprising is the reason therefor. A
> writer in The Electrical Review says:
( ** Entomologists report that of late years
the annual crop of flies is decreasing japid
' ly and steadily. The almost universal
I adoption of electrical traction Is credited
with bringing about this desirable result
It has been stated that stables are the
1 chief breeding places of flies, and as the
. street car horse has been emancipated ths
number of stables Is consequently growing
less; hence the failure of the fly to be born
i tn multitudes, as in the past.”

Buried In the Well Where He Died.
Speaking of strange and sad occur
rences, none could be more remarkable
than the death and burial of Charles
Carter, a well known farmer residing
near Russell. He was cleaning out an
old well when the quicksand suddenly
caved in on him, leaving only his head
and chest exposed. When the alarm
was given, hundreds of people assem
bled and went heroically to work to
save their neighbor. It was found that
nothing could be done toward removing
the sand about Carter’s body, so a par
allel well was dug and a tunnel run
from it into the old well, but even then
the body could not be removed so close
ly was it grasped by the sands. It was
found that a rope attached below Car
ter's arms would pull the body into
parts without withdrawing its covered
portion, and that method had to be
abandoned. Carter was conscious and
talked with his rescuers, but at the end
of 58 hours he died. By this time an
enormous crowd had gathered, and all
sorts of plans were suggested for recov
ering the body, but finally it was de
termined to make the well the dead
man's tomb, and it was filled up after
religious services had been held upon
its brink. The well was 48 feet deep,
and perhaps no other Kansan ever found
quite so strange a burial place.—Kan

Modern Greek peasants exchange a
gold and silver wedding ring, and they
drink wine from the same cup But the
regular ritual of the Greek church or
dains that solemn betrotiial precedes the
actual marriage, in which are used gold
and silver wedding rings blessed by
the priest, the gold ring being given to
the man, the silver ring to the woman.
The form of tbe espousal is then repeat
ed, and the rings.-o placed on the right
hands and then o-ohanged that no in
feriority maybe betokened by the wom
an wearing the silver ring and also to
indicate a common ownership of prop
erty- „ .
An Armenian mother usually chooses
her daughter’s husband. After all busi
ness preliminaries are settled between
the families the bridegroom’s mother,
accompanied by a priest and two ma
trons, visits the bride and gives her a
ring in token of espousal, and with this
ring the couple are ultimately married.
Among the fishing communities very
ancient and elaborate rings are used,
and they descend as heirlooms from
generation to generation.
In Japanese marriages arranged be
tween very young people the girl re
ceives a ring in evidence that the union
is binding. In Malabar an old native
custom seats both bride and bridegroom
on a dais, and a relative washes the
feet of the bridegroom with milk and
puts a silver ring on the great toe of the
right foot. He then hands a gold ring
to his kinsman, and a necklace and
chaplet of flowers are put on the bride’s
neck and head.—London Mail

Korea’s Seven Wonders.
The seven wonders of Korea are: (1)
The marvelous mineral spring of Kiu
shanto, one dip in which is a sovereign
cure for all the ills that human flesh is
heir to. (2) The double springs which,
though far apart, have a strange, mys
terious affinity. According to Korean
belief, there is a connection under
ground, through which water ebbs and
flows like tbe waters of the ocean, in
such away that only one spring is full
at a time. The water possesses a won
derful sweetening power, so that what
ever is cooked therein becomes good and
palatable. (8) The. cold wind cavern,
whence comes a never ceasing wind so
piercing that nothing can withstand it
and so powerful that the strongest man
cannot face it. (4) The indestructible
pine forest, the trees of which grow
np again as fast as they are cut down.
(5) The floating stone, a massive block
that has no visible support, but, like
Mohammed’s coffin, remains suspended,
(fl) The warm stone, situated on the
top of a hill and said to have the pecul
iarity of spreading warmth and heat
all round it (7) A drop of the sweat of
Buddha, for 30 paces round which no
flower or vegetation will grow, nor will
birds or other living things passover it.

taint Nor»h end the Potato.
St. Norah was a poor girl, says the
London Punch, who prayed St. Patrick
for a good gift that would make her not
proud but useful, and St Patrick, out
of his own head, taught her how to boil
a potato. A sad thing and to be lament
ed, that the secret has come down to so
few I Since the highest intellectual and
physical life is dependent upon diet—
since the cook makes, while the physi
cian only mends—should not she who
prepares our pies be as carefully trained
as he who makes our pills?
Certainly whatever may be the
knowledge or the ignorance of the serv
ant in the kitchen, the mistress of the
house, be she young or old, ought to be
able, like St. Patrick in the fable, out of
her own instructed head to teach Norah
how to boil a potato or broil a steak so
that they may yield their utmost of rel
ish and nutriment.
Until she can do that, no woman is
qualified to preside over a household,
and since few reach adult life without
being called to that position in the
household of husband, father or broth
er, the legend of St. Norah has a wide
significance.—Youth’s Companion.
' The Northwest Indian and His Ways.
The Indian of the plains is a far more
picturesque individual than his brother
or cousin of the coast. He does not erect
totem poles and has no timber for the
purpose if so inclined, but he is suffi
ciently spectacular himself without re
sorting to grotesque carvings and paint
ed wood. His saddle, with its leather
hangings and wooden stirrups, is in
itself a remarkable aggregation, and
when set off with his goods and chat
tels tied in bags, rags, strings and
straps, the effect is remarkable. He
wears the cast off garments of his white
brother in such original combinations
that he looks like the personification of
a secondhand store. Sometimes the
' adoption of a pair of guernseys as an
external covering gives him quite an
athletic appearance. He wears his hair
in Gertrude braids, and prefers ear
rings about the size of half dollar coins.
A mosquito net or handkerchief is his
favorite head covering, and if he as
sumes a hat it is as an additional and
purely ornamental appendage. —Detroit
Free Press.
Buried at Santiago.
“Few students of Napoleonic histo
ry,” says the London Chronicle, “are
aware that Dr. Antomarchi, who at
tended upon Napoleon I during his last
illness at St Helena, is buried in the
cemetery at Santiago de Cuba. He had
a brother living in that island, and
after tbe emperor’s death proceeded
thither and lived at Santiago, exercis
ing his skill as an oculist gratuitously
among the poor. After his death in
1825 a public monument was erected to
his memory in the local cemetery. ”

The Cause of laughter.
Bain suggests the explanation that
laughter is provoked by what he calls a
degradation, meaning that we laugh
when we all at once perceive something
degrading, a trickery, a weakness or a
pettiness in some person or object which
we respect, as when the infirmities of
human nature disclose themselves in a
person of importance or when some
trivial affair occurs in 'a solemn cere- <
mony to drag us down or when the
wrong side of some great thing or some
great man is exposed.
“The occasion of the laughter is the
degradation of a dignified person or in
terest under circumstances that do not
excite a stronger emotion. In all theo
ries of laughter the more or less impor
tant fact is marked * * ♦ that the feel
ing of the ludicrous arises when some
thing which we respected before is pre
sented in a mean light, for we have no
disposition to laugh when something
that we already regarded as such is de
picted as trioky and vile.”—Popular
Science.
Harcourt’s Beaconsfield Anecdote.
Sir William Harcourt has one quite
unique memory of the support he gave
in old days to the public worship regu
lation act. That was an invitation
which he received to visit Lord Bea
consfield at Hughenden Manor.
Taking his guest—the member of a
family representing the ownership of
broad acres—round his minute demesne,
Lord Beaconsfield said, “Excuse the
vanity of a landed proprietor!” The
young politician accompanied his host
on Sunday to the village church, and
on the way thither was warned that
some hints of the high church move
ment had penetrated even that sylvan
solitude. “My friend, the vicar,” said
the lord of the manor, “will take what
I call a collection snd he calls an offer
tory, and afterward what I call a plate
and he calls an alms dish will be placed
on what I call a table and he calls an
altar.”—London News. ;

General Shafter Misguided.
Here is a story that the Cleveland
Leader proffers about Gen Shatter.
It centers about bis salient trait of
being pugnacious, just as all current
and well invented anecdotes of “Fight*
ing Bob” Evans revolve around some
incandescent bit of profanity. But
the story runs thus, as the hero of
Santiago is made to tell it:
“dtace when I was a boy at school—
I wasn't more than 10 or 11 years old
at the time—our teacher called up the
class in mental arithmetic and began
putting questions, beginning with the
pupil at the foot, until B)me one could
give tbe correct answer. I stood
somewhere near the middle and next
below me was a boy who was three
years older and considerably ahead of
me tn the various studies that we bad.
“ ‘How much are 13 and 9 and 8?’
the teacher asked.
‘ While one after another of the boys
and girls ahead of me guessed and
failed to get it right, I figured out
what I thought the answer ought to
be. The question had almost got to
me when I heard tbe big boy just
below me whispering apparently tohim
self, but loud enough for me to hear,
‘twenty-nine, twenty« , nine, twenty
nine’
“Finally the pupil above me failed
to answer correctly, and then it was
my turn.
•• ‘Weil, Willie,’ said tbe teaeher,
‘let’s see if you know the answer.
Come now, be prompt.’
“I cocked my bead proudly on one
side, can a triumphant look at those
who had ‘fallen down’ on the prob
lem, and said eo that everybody in
the schoolroom could bear me:
“ 'Twenty-nine!’
‘ "‘Next, bow many are 13 and 9
! and 8!’
“ ‘Awl’ said the big boy below me,
with a look of supreme contempt at
tbe rest of us, ‘thirty.’
“That was what I had figured it to
be myself, and when the teacher said
‘correct,’ I wanted to fight.
“I didn’t assault him, but I made up
my mind right there and then to de*
pend on my own judgment in tbe
future, and ever since then when I
have had anything to do and had
figured out what I considered the best
way to do it, I have gone ahead
remembering, when people criticised
or tried to throw me off the track, how
that big boy made a loot of me in the
mental arithmetic class.”
