One of the surprises encountered by the
traveller when he is first among Mongolians
is their physical developmenF Americans

Sam Lee or Wi Ping, and the loose cloth
ing of the Chinaman conceals his brawny
arms and legs when he has them. See
ing Tibetans in the Himalayas-stochy
chunks of men, with an abnormal muscu-

nv idea that the Chinaman was rather
slim, unmuscular oriental, something llko
the willowy Hindoo but when landed in
Singapore and first saw numbers of coolies
stripped to their work | was thunderstruck
at their massive proportions.
The Chinese arc commonly said to he
diseased race, a people permeated with blood
poisons, but one does not see it in the ay-
erage specimen, and ono does see at every
street corner men with limbs and torsos
like Sandow, men who would be marked
down for football players in any American
college. Not but what disease is always
an accompaniment of SO crowded popu-
lation. not that its manifestations fail to
impress you, but the Cbinaman, far from
being taper fingered mortal, is tough,
sturdy, fine fellow, with thews and sinews

have found any exception to the rule.
The Mongol from the borders of India,
where, going east, you first strike his
honely coarseness, to the confines OF ia
pan, where you say goodby to his lovely
cherry blossoms and his smiling bows, is
everywhere, in physique, the same strong,
enduring man. The Chinaman is filthy in
mind, body and estate, the Japanese Is
equally clean, but in mere physical quality
they are very much alike. That the Mon
COILS nervous structure is less fine than the
Aryan S is evidenced by the fact that the
average Chinaman will endure unblanched
the pain of surgical operation which
would seriously compromise the reaction
ary power of most white men, and this, if
anything, adds to his value as mere hui
man animal-T. A. Dodge in Forum.

A COLLECTION OF INSECTS.
On the Inside of BowdOin Door for
Fifteen Years.

How Ira S. Locle's College Room Held a
Sacred College Relic Carefully Pre-
served by His Successors,
Of all places in the world the college
dormitory would hardly be expected to
ensure the preservation for any length OF
time of anything delicate or fragile, II
left entirely exposed and unprotected;
yet collection of insects, delicate moths
thus preserved at Bowdoin college for
fifteen years.
When Ira S. Locke Esq OF the law firm
of Locke & Locke of this city, was at
Bowdoin in the early part of the seven
ties he was an enthusiastic student OF
entomology and made a very extensive
collection of insects. Because OF his
Iameness he could not seek for beetles
and bugs etc. in the fields and woods
with the other boys but in the summer
evenings would leave his window open
and devote himself to catching the myrl-
and wiged insects that'we attracted by
the Ii ght of his lamp.
In this way lie secured many rare speci-
mems, particularly large night moths,
aud by exchanging duplicates with the
other boys, gradually secured his large
collection. His cabinet was the inside
of his closet door. When he graduated
in 1874 he left his insects pinned to the
door, covering the entire upperihalf OF It,
1t remained there till 1889. fifteen years
after, when there was a change made In
the furnishing of the room, and the Janl-
tor removed the old door and destroyed
it, and the collection of insects togeth-
er. During all those years. whatever
students oocupiedsthe room the collec-
ton was respected and valued.and served
as an object lesson in the study of ento-
mology. 1t seemed to be generally I'M
derstood that those insects were sacred
and relic that was part of the room,
and that the occupant was in honor
bound to protect them. College boys
an he as extremely careful as they are
extremely rough, when they feel that
ynything at all connected with their
tfeaIty as college students is involved.

BEEF POWDER.
Nourishing and Appetizing and Can BE
Easily Made at Home.

Nourishing and Appetizing and Can Be
Easily Made at Home.
Some of the beef powders in the market
smell and taste of the chemists shop and
arc not readily taken by an invalid whose
palate requires to be coaxed. A happy idea
struck the writer several months ago that
beef powder might without difficulty be
prepared fresh and on a small scale by any
ordinary cook The experiment was made,
and the result was satisfactory beyond OK
pectation Beef powder made at homo is
appetizing, has a delicate arena and flavor
and can be taken with pleasure by inyallds
who turn with aversion from ordinary
food. If little pepsin be taken at the
same time, it is digested even when the
ordinary peptonized foods are not retained
The mode of preparation is simple. Lean
beef is cut into small pieces. These are
put into boiling fat drippings or butter for
a couple of minutes until the surface Is
Drowned. They are then removed from
the fat and placed on a strainer for few
moments. Afterward they are placed in a
mincing machine The resulting mince is
placed in a slow oven and dried. The dry
ing process may take from to "a hours,
or even longer, according to the heat en-
ployed. When thoroughly dried, the meat
is quite crisp and can be ground in COT
fee mill that has not been used for any
other purpose.
In the drying process the meat loses a
trife more than four-fifths of its weight.
This beef powder can be taken in various
ways-with hot water or soup, with mash
ed POTATOES, with bread and butter in a
sandwich or with little pepsin i'll starch
wafer.
The writer has given this homemade
beef nowder with such excellent effect in
several cases where there was much diff

SETH LOW ITS CHOICE.
RIdder Says There's No Quarrel In
the German Reform Union.

Herman Rider, Oswald Ottendorfer's
right-hand man, denied emphatically
to-day that Mr.. Ottendorfer had been
turned down" at the meeting of the
German-American Reform Union last
night. The Union is said to be divided
into two factions. led by Gustav Schwab
and Ottendorfer, respectively.
Resolutions were adopted last night
that no agreement should be made In
volving the support of candidates for
State, Legislative or Congressional Of
flee, and that Tammany Hall particu-
larry was to be barred out.
This resolution is known to be against
Mr. Ottendorfers wishes, and 1t was
passed during his absence.
IT'S all nonsense" said Mr.. Ridder.
Turned down? why, that is impossi-
BILE. Mr.. Ottendorfer is recognized now
as the leader of the German-A Americans
and always will be.
IAN this talk about a split in the
Union is sensationalism. We are for
pure city government, and the means
used toward that end are immaterial.

Ways and Means.

Shirtmakers to the number of 5000
are preparing for general strike
against the present low wages and the
sweating system. The workers in three
shops, who struck yesterday for an in
crease of four cents a dozen, sounded
the keynote in all the sweat shops on
the east side, and, coupled with the
success of the coatmakers and the
cloakmakers, the shirtmakers-a far
more impoverished lot than the men
and women who have just won a signal
victory-feel sufficiently encouraged to
begin a general movement all along the
line.
They are organized fairly well in local
assemblies of the knights of Labor and
In Independent unions, but there are

upon the sweaters that they are In alb
