The medical art in China is mysteri.
GUS and empirical. The medical pro-
fession is regulated by rules almost the
opposite OF those which prevail in Eng
land.
In China the doctor receives fixel
salary as long rs his patient is IN good
health, says Chambers Magazine. Ii the
patient falls i'll, the doctors pay is stop
ped until cure is effected.
In England sick person usually tries
to assist the doctor by explaining the
symptoms of his cnse. In China, this
would be considered an insult to the
doctor.
The doctor may feel the patients
pulse, examine his skin and look at his
tongue; but he may ask no questions.
lilo is then expected to diagnose the
disease from which the sick man is
ailing, and to prescribe remedy.
The medicine prescribed is usually
very cheap and very nasty; but some
drugs are high priced; and there are GER
tain precious stones which are believed
to be of wonderful efficacy in curing dis
eases. One of these expensive prescrip-
tions consists of very costly ingredients.

A Colored Man Turning White.

Green Howell, of Midwife, Ga, has
q double claim on the title of colored,
for he is full-blooded negro, but is
turning white in great patches-a color
which natural philosophy tells us is a
blending of all colors. Greene was
questioned as to the strange freak of
nature wrought in his skin. There are
two patches Of white on each ear, His
lips are turning pale color, about that
of the average Caucasian skin. Beneath
the folds of his flannel shirt could be
seen the evidence of changing color.
His hands, further than several small
patches OF brown, are as pale as those
OF any white, and at q moments glance
can be seen to be different from the
bleaching of the leper. His scalp is also
changed, and is as pale as his hands.
Greene is a successful planter and
talks freely OF his strange case He is
about thirty-fiv years of age and of
medium height His face and hair bear
out his story that there is no mixed
blood in his veins. He says that at the
close of the war he had two small
blotches on each hand, which remained
without change until four years ago last
April, when the skin on his hands began
to turn pale red and then white.
While at work ploughing in the fields
in summer, he says the perspiration from
his hands would be red as if tinctured
with blood. Further than from the evil
dence of his eyes he was unaware
through any sensation of the change
which has been going on. There has
been no itch or smart, and several doc
tors whom he has consulted have assur-
ed him that the variegated skin is entire-
ly healthy. They all confess that they
are puzzled by his case. Greene says
his body is almost white, and his feet
arc turning. He says his father was
what is known as II "tender man." that
is, he would blister under a hot sun,
Greene also blisters when exposed to the
hot sun for any length of time. His
farm duties occupy his time .-Augusta

BLIZZARD LAND.
A Little Talk About Shows and
Blows in North Dakota.

North Dakota, according to the tenn
perature maps, is the coolest part of the
United States. This is accounted for
by the fact that there are no mountains
to break the force of the storms origi-
mating in the Arctic regions. From
Manitoba they come rushing and howl
ing into our Territory with great force,
packing the sand-like snow so firmly
that new-formed drifts four or five feet
high will bear the weight of houses.
During one of these billiards it is i'm
possible to be comfortable out of doors,
even when the mercury does not fall be-
low zero. The snow packs into the
clothing so that no shaking will dislodge
it, and the sharp particles cut like glass
or steel. 1t is impossible to face such n
storm, and persons and horses naturally
turn their faces from the blast, and do
ing SO even in the slightest degree
causes them to lose their way on the
plains.
The snow looks exactly like granulated
sugar; we never see it fall in large, feath-
cry flakes, as it does in other parts of
the country. When it SHOWS it invaria-
bly, blows, and every building, large or

flying past, and apparently not grain

south it will 60 in such masses that you
cannot see an object few rods from
you then in few days the south wind
will hurl another mass back to the
north.
But the Northwestern winter is not
all storms and billiards.. There are SO
many bright calm days that even when
it is thirty-five or forty degrees below
