Chinatown was thronged last night with
curious people, attracted thither by the
Chinese religious oad-eating demonstration
toward All Toa. The Chinese, with dis
elimination which does honor to the
"moon-eyed lepers' assume that they need
expect no harm from the benefcent author
of the universe. But they recognize the ex-
istence of 'cuss'' whom we call the devil
and they designate by the more poetical
and euphonious term of All Toa-really the
only instance We know of in which that
cacophonous la:g@age appears for the nonce
to be musical--and as this creature, in their

DEATH OF MRS. SARAH ROGERS KING
Mrs Sarah Rogers King, widow of Jas. Gore
King and daughter of Archibald Oracle, the
famous merchant prince, who settled in
New York in 1765, and whose imposing
form and venerable white head were fa-
miiiar sight on Pine and William streets
fifty years ago, died Tuesday at her resi-
dence, Highwood, Weehawken, IN the
eighty-seventh year of her age. Her hus-
band was the son of Rufus King, once U. S.
Senator from this State and Minister to En-
gland He was leading banker in this city,
once Representative in Congress from it,
and an intimate friend of Daniel Webster
and Nicholas Biddle. His brother, Charles
King, at one time director of the Bank of
New York, editor of the New York Ameri-
can and associate editor of the Courier and
Enquirer, was from 1849 to 1864 President
of Columbia College. Three other sons of
Rufus King were: John Alsop King. Gov
ernor of this State in 1857-59, and Frederick
and Edward, both of whom died young.
Frederick was a clever physician, and Ed
ward, who settled in Ohio and died there,
was promising public speaker, of whom
much was expected. The connections of
the Oracle and King families and of
the firms in which they were members dat
ing back from the marriage of two of old
Archibald Gracie's daughters to Charles c.
and James Gore King, run through New
York society of the present day in count
less directions. James Gore King who had
previously been in business in Liverpool in
the firm of King & Oracle. was in 1925,
| four years before Archibald Gracie's death,
taken as partner by Nathaniel Prime and
Samuel Ward, the latter the father of the
Samuel Ward of our day. James G. King s
sons Archibald Oracle King and John A.

ScIirkling's Theater,

Schickling's Variety Theater, on Vine
street, was not open to the public last night.
This was due to the refractory spirit exhib-
tied by the performers They wanted their
salaries paid out TO them, but the money
was not forthcoming. To get even with the
management they refused to play, and 10
make it impossible for the management to
get together a new combination, they nailed
the scenes to the floor and plugged up the
gas-pipes on the stage. The manager of the
theater says that he will reopen tonight
and give performances hereafter as usual

All of our features have their Ian
guage-eyes, noes and mouth. And
now some one discovers that even the
hair has its own indications.
Straight, lax, stringy looking hair in
dicates weakness and cowardice
Curly hair denotes a quick temper.
Frizzy hair set on ones head as il
each individual hair were ready to fight
it's neighbor denotes coaIseness.
Black hair indicates persistent resolu.
ton in accomplishing an object-also
a strong predis position to revenge wrong
and insults, real or fancied.
Brown hair denotes fondness for life,
friendly disposition. am bition, earnest.
ness of purpose, sagacity for business
reliability in friendship, in proportion
as the hair is fine.
Very fine hair indicates an even dis
position, readiness to forgive, with a de-
sire to add to the happiness Of others
Persons with fine light brown or au-
burn hair, inclined to curl or friz, are
quick tempered and are given to re-
sentm emf and revenge.
Light brown hair, inclined to redness
with freckled skin. is said to be a Ger
tam indication Of deceit, treachery, and
disposition to do something mean by q
friend who can no longer be used to ad
vantage.

Pills and Teeth.
ashinguon Post.

One thing that strikes the visitor to
the American section is the wonderful
display of pills. | wonder what the
French think Of us when passing
through our main passage. They see
bottles upon bottles filled with those
suggestive and attempting white pills.
AS sugar-coated and as compressed as
they may be, no one, / take it, feels dis
posed to linger and contemplate those
little White balls without the suggestion
of a gripping in his anatomy where a
good dinner would be more at ease,
Fancy the remarks of the unsophisti-
Gated Frenchman passing these ava
lanches of pills. He naturally thinks
that ours must be very unhealthy
country, and should he ever have
dreamed Of going over to settle with
us, these pills will purge him of the idea
forever. [ see in this display direct
attempt to discourage emigration, and
[ would call the attention of the authori-
ties in the treasury department to IN
vestigate the matter. Let us follow
now our disguised Frenchman from
this painful subject. A few steps be-
yond he is met with such jawing as
he probably never had in his life, not
even excepting that he gets from his
wife now and then, and as is the case in
all well-regulated families. Jaws full of
teeth; jaws at full cape, half cape and
closed jaws; ready-made and so invit-
ing that whatever stirring emotions the
pills had failed to create in his bosom,
those teeth crashing at him completely
used him up. 1t is amusing, but sad
however, to watch the eountenances OF
ladies passing those endless rows OF
teeth. The EXPLANATIONS and of dis
gust are as varied as the passers-by.

contain. This, as I said on a former oc
casion, depends on a supply of nitrogen
in a form that the plant can use ii.
Ammonia dissolved in water and alb
sorbed by the roots, is the usual form
in which the supply Of nitrogen is OBJ
tanned. This is decomposed in the leaf
by the agency of sunlight, and the nit
rogen set free Immediately, enters into a
new combination and the green color
ing matter is the result. But this
change demands the presence of potash
and phosphoric acid, in very minute
quantities, indeed, but still essential. 4
deficiency in any one Of these conditions
will give a pale, or yellow leaf, and
every farmer knows what that means,
though he may not be able to explain
why it is so, But plants absorb no food,
by the leaf, in the dark. and there is no
chemical action in the absence Of sum
light. 1t is true that plants grow at
night, but they grow by using the ma
terial prepared in the light, and by it's
agency.-PROF. r. T. BROWN, IN Tndi-

A Suit for a MuStache.

A young gentleman of Peoria, ILL.,,
has brought suit against a tonsorial art
list of that municipality for $500, which
amount, in lawful currency, he claims
as indemnity for loss and damage sus-
tanned by reason of malpractice on the
part Of defendant, the melancholy result
Of which was the sacrifice Of portion
Of an incipient mustache, which the
plaintiff had thus far reared with tender
care and infinite soiicitude. We do not
know how the court and jury will regard
this suit, whether they will treat it with
gravity or levity; but little reflection
will convince even the most thoughtless
man that the injured youth has solid
ground Of complaint. In all ages Of
the world the hirsute adornment of the
head and face has been regarded with
an interest amounting almos to venera-
ton. The ancient Israelites, the Arab
tribes Of old and recent times, the
Chinese and other Orientals, all shared
or share this feeling. The Scriptures
show that the hairs of all heads are
numbered. Whether the plaintiff. in
this case, has taken Genius of his mus
tache. and, in his bill Of particulars,
charges at a given price per hair, we
are not advised. It is likely, however,
that the bill is for the entire mustache,
for the remaining section cannot be re-
garded as OF much utility. Fractions,
in such cases, are of no account. Vic
