Women in Chinese Prisons.

Canton Letter In St Louis Globe Democrat
Down stone alley, where policemen
sprawied in hunks and comfortably
smoked their opium, and chickens
pecked at the hard stones for an occa-
sional crumb, we went to the women's
quarter. The court was quite the same
as on the mems side, the shackled pris-
oners roaming with free hands and
swarming about us with their hands
waving in the air, like the tentacles of
devil fish about to close upon us.
Their clamor for Il ''cumshaw" was
even wilder and fiercer than the mems,
for there IS nothing shriler and sharp
er than the voice of the female Chinese.
and it seemed as if some OF the old hays
and young harpies meant to tear us
with their dirty claws if we attempted
to escape with our purses. During the
riot at the gateway an aged female pris
oner wearing huge, horn-brimmed
spectacles that made her look like an
Old owl, sat placidly on a chair with
her dwarf feet propped on a stool,
mending some dirty rags. She smiled
benignly on us, gave rather CHEEKY
thanks fora bit of silver and was alto
gether a unique thing in prisoners.

Slate Writing Extraordinary.
From the Savannah News.

Mrs. Dixie Jarrett Haygood in electric
tricks, does even more than Miss Hurst.
For instance, a person is blind folded
An article is hidden, and then she
places her hand lightly on the shoulder
! of the blindfolded person, who goes
without knowing why directly to the
hidden article. Very recently this
feature OF her performance was given a
severe test. pin was driven into the
wall as high as the hand could reach.
A lady had been blind olded and was
to find what was hidden and the locali-
ty. The instant Mrs. Haygood's hand
was placed upon the lady's shoulder
she walked direct to the wall and took
the pin from the wall.
The slate writing of Slade is feeble
when compared with that of Mrs Hay
good. A small pencil is laid upon a
slate and the slate is then placed where
seemingly writing could not be done,
Answers to questions were made, and
each time the answer was satisfactory
to the asker. An Episcopal minister
wrote question on a piece of paper,
tore off a piece, and rolling up the frag-
ment upon which the question was
written, placed and kept it in his mouth
The other portion of the paper was
placed upon table and Mrs. Hay
good was called upon to give a reply
This was done. The answer was cor
rect, the two pieces of paper We're COM
pared, and the minister was so con-
founded with the fact that he left the
house at once

The Discovery OF SpectacIes.

Few inventions have conferred a
greater blessing on the human race
than that which assists impaired vision.
DR.. Johnson rightly expressed his sur
prise that such benefactor as the dis
coverer of spectacles should have been
regarded with indifference, and found
no worthy biographer to celebrate his
ingenuity. Unfortunately, however,
his name is a matter of much uncer-
tainty; and, hence, a grateful posterity
may have been prevented from bestow-
ing upon his memory that honor which
it has so richly merited. But it may be
noted that popular opinion has long
ago pronounced in favor of Spida, a
Florentine monk, as the rightful claim
ant, although some are in favor of
Roger Bacon. Monsieur Spoon, in his
Researches Curieuses d'Antiquite,
FIXES the date of the invention between
the years 1890 and 1911, and says that
Alexander de Spida, having seen pair
made by some other person, who was
unwilling to communicate the secret of
their construction, ordered a pair for
himself, and found them so useful that
he cheerfully and promptly made the
invention public. According to an
Italian antiquary, the person to whom
Spida was indebted for his information
was Salvino, who died in the year 1918,
and he quotes from a manuscript in his
possession an epitaph which records
the circumstance: Here lies Salvino
Armoto dArmati, of Florence, the in
ventor of spectacles. May God pardon
his sins, The wear 1915"

From the New York Sun.


at is good thing TO keep an account
of your small expenses" eX-Minis-
ter John Bigelow once said to an ac-
quaintance, as he entered an item in
his note book. His listener smiled at
the remark, but took it to heart. In
recently telling the story of his experi-
ence he said that, up to that time, he
had never thought OF the amount it cost
him annually for cigars and drinks and
treats and other sundries. He began to
itemize the cost daily. He was amazed
at the end of the year when he footed
up the sum at $3.50. A change was
wrought in him. He determined that
for the next year he would keep such
expenses down TO onethird of the sum
in question. ''And now" he said, with
in ten years ! have profited by Mr. Big
CLOVIS advice to the amount of $500,
which | have handed over to my wife
to keep for hard times And | have
not become mean, either"

Hate Rang the Fire Bell.
From the Richmond TImas

The white mare Kate, which runs the
bose carriage of steamer No 2 to fires,
yesterday morning vent through her
usual training and also went one better.
When the gong sounded one at 6 A. NJ,
TO give a correct time, she started for
the bell rope, caught it with her mouth
and vigorously pulled it. The bell ring
ing the fire call brought out nearly all
OF the minute men, most of whom live
IN the immediate vicinity. They
rushed to the engine house ready for
duty, only to find the handsome Mrs.
Kate lnwardly smiling at her conscious
ness of duty faithfully performed. The
station men were in the bedroom and
rushed down in wonderment, but could
do nothing beyond stroking Mrs. Kate s
lace and leading her to an extra supply
of oats

The Standing OF Horse Doctors
From the Ennch


IN the regular army, veterinary sur
geons are classed as farriers and taken
IN the ranks as enlisted men Their
pay IS from SO to 500 a month. Tn
private practice the rates of the yeter-
mary surgeon are the same as those of
the medical practitioner. Throughout
the united States at the present time
there are probably 800 persons studv-
ing 10 be veterinarians; fifteen wears
ago tnere were not twenty students in
the whole country, and there was but
one college, the one with which T am
now connected. There are a few mer
who have not graduated from any col
lege, who are competent veterinarians.
They have read, studied and practiced
until they are quite competent; lust the
same as IN the early days of this country
acertaln number of men studied medi-
enc by themselves and became GOOD
physicians without the aid of a collepi-
ate training. But Il ere are very few
competent veterinarians who are not
graduates OF some veterinary college
The need OF skillful men who know
now to treat lntelligently the diseases of
animals, Is shown by a few statistics
giving the pul Der and value of some of
the domestic animals in the United
States. These statistics we're taken four

THEN AND NOW.
BIZ HOWARD C. TRIP.

He walked across the grassy lea,
WILD with youths high hopes and glee;
kar his young heart with joys was rife
Ger the expectant crowns of life
That he should win if time and health
Would only loan one-half their wealth
He walked, a sober youth serene
Across the clover-scented green,
And thought of triumphs that would crown
His life-work with o high renowr.
Years passed away Oh, where is he
Who walked, youth knight, o er the lea,
And vowed that he in time should win
A crown free from the mark OF sin?
oh, God he now is lying there
So cold and lifeless Sins despair.
And awful hatred struck him down;
He did not win the precious crown
He hoped for; for the wine cups breath
Assailed him with it's frightful deathl
