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.” These are the words ot a careful observer, and who can deny their ac curacy?—New York Times.

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. The Paartn* of tike Uy. 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.” Fruit Stained Singers.

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 sas City Journal. To Car* Caaatipatlon raraver. Take Cascareta Candy Cathartic. 10c or 25c.

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. —Brooklyn Eagle. 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. ” Love In Early Days. “Yea,*’‘said Adam to Eve as the twi light drew about the aged couple, sof tening their lineaments to a semblance of youth, “how well I remember the day we met!

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. ; Undismayed.

Berntte KMYwHwAlwaysßwtM 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.” Cheap Excursion Bates to Eastern Oltiee via Savannah and.
