A very high-toned-lookine AJung
man, in exquisite moustacha loud
plaid clothes, red necktie, low-crowned
hat, straw-colored kids, and knitting
needle cane, walked into a tobacco
shop, and, throwing down half-dol-

in it satisfactory, and ! am utterly Ia
zee how a person Of fastidious taste

meekly.

practice of surgery differs constdera-
bly, from that in vogue in less en-
ligbtened Western countries Bone
setting Ia the Celestial Empire is a
complicated affair, and doubtless
more efficac.ous than European meth

surgeon does not attempt TO bring
the bones together. but merely wraps
the limb in red clay. inserting some
strips OF bamboo into the clay. These

In the outer bandage the head OF a
live chicken Is placed. Here comes in

After the bandage has been secured
the fowl is beheaded and its blood Is

A Future for the Donkey.

Some day stock raisers will turn their
attention to the common donkey, and
with few generations Of liberal feed
ing, careful grooming, aud Judgment in
selection will raise breed that for all
draught and carrying purposes will be
superior to either horse or mule. The
hoofs Of the donkey seem absolutely in
capable of lameness, his endurance is
without parallel save in the camel, and
with good treatment there is no reason
why the size Of the breed should not be
greatly increased. The donkey has a
bad name, but ages OF ill-treatment have
given him bad temper, which can be
overcome only by kindness.

do this shake out the water from your
