ness Pays for tie Cost of Lighting.
New York Sum-
1t has been remarked, as showing what a
powerful element of health the electric light
is, that the general health of those who use
it improves, their appetite and their ability
to sleep increase, and tine visits of the doc
tor become less frequent. This is especially
apparent in the statistics of the attendance
OF working people in factories and other
places. In the Savings bank in Queen
Victoria street, London, where 1000 per-
sons are employed, the absences from ill
ness have been so far reduced that the extra
labor gained is said to have paid for the
electric light.
The influence of artificial light on the
eyes has also a very important sanitary
bearing. 1t has been asserted that the in
jury to the eyes, of which the growing
shortsightedness OF the day is but one result
is due to the heat rays and not to the light
rays. Ifthat be so, the electric light is less
injurious than any other. If the eyes are
exposed to the strong light OF the arc lamp
its ultraviolet rays have a painful effect.
but no one has ever complained Of the in
fuence of a steady glow lamp upon the
sight, and it is possible to read and write
for many hours by such light without ex-
periencing the least fatigue.

Chew then invited me to go to lunch with
him, which invitation I gladly accepted.
We were soon seated before low table in a
long room that appeared to be restaurant.
This restaurant, located in one of the side
streets, is, learned, the swell restaurant of
Chinatown. OF course Chew did the Or
dering.
We were first served with strong wine,
made from peas, served in little toy cups. A
waiter then poured a blackish looking
liquid into small butter plate before me.
This, I was informed, was cheap good
sauce" "Bak ku" was the first dish. This
is a rare delicacy in Chinatown, and is COM
posed of chopped pigeon meat, waternuts,
mushrooms ana wild celery. "Bak ku" is
a great dish, but is expensive.
We were next regaled with "chop soy"
This dish, very common one, is made from
beans, pea sprouts, pork, rice and spices. 1
might add here that Chew used the regula-
tion chop sticks, which he handled with
great deftness. OF course tried these, too,
but beyond depositing a mess of stuff in my
lap did not make "howling success" of it.
Bird's-nest soup was the next delicacy 1
tried. Thlsis NECTAR to an Oriental. 1t was
about as much like tapioca soup as any
thing one could imagine. Beyond the fact,
however, that as Chew informed me- it is
sure cure for lung troubles, couldn't see
much in it to fancy. 1t was altogether,
though, novel meal and Chew a most
obliging host But was glad when it was
over and am of the opinion that about once

dripping bushes. First went the fire ny
with her lantern to show the way; then the
beetle carrying his knapsack; then the
cricket with his violin; and last of all the
snail groaning under the weight OF MS
house. The beetle had strong lungs and a
loud voice, sud from time to time he would
cry out: "Is there any shelter near Tor
weary travelers?"
But his cries for help were in vain, and
the little procession proceeded through the
dark, wet forest. After time it was
noticed that the snail was not with the
company. Then each one cried out:
snail, snail, where are you? Make haste;
we can wait no longer"
But they received no reply, and were
obliged to think that their friend had been
lost in the forest or been overcome by the
storm. At last, after much wandering, the
frehy led the way under the roots of an old
tree. Here were dry and com Portable lodg-
ings; but the little company had suffered SO
much, and were so constantly fearing an
attack from some new enemy that no one
could sleep; and the remainder of the night
was passed in great unrest.
The next morning was bright and clear,
and the storm-staid travellers having bid
one another goodby in the hope of meeting
again under more favorable circumstances,
hastened to their homes. But for many weeks
they could see in their dreams the vision of
the angry old toad shaking her red UNI
brella at them. And ever afterwards when
abroad in stormy weather they were careful
not to seek shelter under toadstool.

TRANSLATED FOR THE DISPATCH ]

Dark, heavy clouds obscured the sky, the
wind moaned sadly through the forest, and
the rain was falling in torrents The pine
trees shook their heads, and said to one
another: who would have thought, when
the morning dawned so clear, that before
night we should have such weather as
this?'
The water dripped from the trees onto the
bushes, from the bushes onto the ferns and
then ran in innumerable little streams, be-
tween the stones and MOSES. Early in the
afternoon the rain had begun to fall, and as
it was growing dark, the tree toad, before
going to sleep, looked out from his door aud
said to his neighbor: at will be clear De-
fore morning."
On this same stormy night. little white
ant was making her way through the forest.
Without thought OF rain she had gone in
the morning to a neighboring town to sell
some eggs. and now she was returning, with
her money sa ely slowed away in little
blue bag which she carried on her arm.
AT every step she sighed and complained:

1t seems that no one lives here, but that is
all the better for me, for l am now sure

Scarcely had the ant entered and poured
the water out of her shoes, when a cricket
with his violin strapped over his shoulder
drew near and said: MAY be permitted

cricket. "for the festival in the village, and

The cricket then laid aside his violin and
sat down beside the ant In few moments
q tinv light appeared in the distance. and
as it came nearer the ant recognized the
lantern of a FREELY, who bowed politely and
said: II beg that YOU will allow me to

Resard To Custom Duties.


Resard TO Custom Duties.
They only search travellers in foreign
ports for two dutiable articles, spirits and
tobacco, says an old traveller in the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. When arrived in Liver
pool customs officer asked me if 1 had
anything subject to import duty in my
trunk. told him no. Then he spied my
valise, and repeated his question. 1 said:
you're the best judge; have box of
cigars and bottle of whisky" "For your
own use?'' Yes, and for my friends. ="
THAT is all right" Out of sheer gratitude
forced that accommodating Englishman
to accept couple OF cigars; that was all he
would take. 1t was the same way in
France. MY baggage went through q
casual inspection of the outside, and nv
statement that 1 had nothing therein but my
private flask was considered sufficient. On
the other hand, L was subjected to a most
ridiculously rigid examination for suspected
contraband goods upon my return to Amer
lea. besides being compelled to take a series
of many-jointed, iron-clad oaths, sufficient to
have consigned my soul to hades forthwith

SLEEPING JURORS,
Freuch Court Has Set Aside n Verdict for
This Lit e Failing.

Freuch Court Has Set Aside Verdict for
This Lit Failing.
New York Tribune.1
The problem of what to do with a case in
which jurors 60 to sleep, instead of listen
ing to the evidence, was met and answered
in France recently. Here it is the ashton
to send court officer to wake the Juror, or
for the attorney to shout so loud as to wake
him, and then for the proceedings to con-
tinue as if the juryman had heard every
thing. The custom is founded on the theory
that there is a strong probability that il the
juror had been awake he would not have
understood or remembered what was said.
The President OF the Assize Court OF the
Department of Saone ct Lire, however, set
aside verdict and ordered a new trial be-
cause one OF the jurors was asleep when
some of the testimony was given. "The
London Law Notes" calls attention to the
different manner of treating the drowsiness
of judge. If the judge sleeps while the
counsel are arguing etiquette in both En-
glish and American courts requires that the
lawyers shall continue their arguments and
content themselves with supposing that the
judge S listening with his eyes closed.

Peculiar Plant That Wraps It.elf About the

Peculiar Plant That Wraps It.elf About the
ZoophJ te and Kills 1t.
Newcastle, England, Ch-onicle.1
The sponge fishers Of the Rhodes have for
some years past been complaining of the ex-
haustion OF the sponge beds-previously so
productive-around the coast. This exhaus-
tion was attributed to the introduction of
the diving apparatus, which enabled fisher
men to obtain greater number of sponges.
Latterly, however, it has been shown that
quite another cause exists for the dimin-
ished quantities now to be obtained.
A submarine plant OF rapid growth fixes
on the zoophyte, which it soon completely
covers, and causes it to rot. The nature and
character of this novel parasite has not as
yet been scientifically investigated, but
specimens of sponges enveloped in this
plant have been sent to Europe for examina-
tion by biologists, and when a knowledge of
the nature of the parasite is obtained some
means may be found for abating its ravages.

IN THE ROGUES GALLERY,

How Electricity May be UIiI zed In Getting
P.cEures of Criminals.
New York SUM-
The officials in the Government prisons
frequently have considerable difficulty in
securing faithful photograph of criminals
whose pictures are needed for the rogues'
gallery, as the subject has occasionally a
trick of distorting his features just at the
moment of exposure. 1t has been suggested
that by fastening the sitter in chair In
connection with q powerful electric current
the difficulty will be overcome.
1t is thought that any temporary insubor-
dination will be quickly checked by a ju-
dicious but sufficient shock, and that though
the expression the photographer may thus
be enabled to secured may not be remark
ably amiable one, it will, at all events, be
perfectly natural one.
