Chinese Laundry Tickets.

The Chinese waShermen have O. sys-
tenn of ticketing a bundle Of soiled
clothes based on the many gods and
goddesses of the laundry. Though it is
complicated, the laundryman seldom
delivers a bundle of washed clothes TO
the wrong person.
Furthermore, if the ticket is lost, the
chances are shat you will not get your
linen, unless you are a particular friend
of the proprietor. Instances are on rec
ord where an American has gone to
court to force the Chinese to yield up
the washing, but the judge was not
convinced that the case Of the white
man was good one.
The Chinese laundryman at the be-
ginning of each week makes out q
batch of checks, in duplicate, to be used
as wash tickets. He selects the name of
some god or goddess. or Of some OBJ
ject, as the sun, the moon, or the stars.
To this name he prefXes q number, as
"Moon, No l." "Moon, No. g." and SO
on.
In the space between the two legends
for the signs are repeated twice-he has
his own name, as, for instance, "Wah
Lee"
When q customer takes bundle OF
washing to the laundry, the Chinese
first tearing a ticket in two in a ragged
fashion, puts one-half on the packet fol
reference; the other half he gives as q
receipt to the person who has brought
the package of laundry.
1t must be presented when the laun'
dry is demanded, and no fears need be
entertained that the package Of clean
clothes will not be forthcoming, fol
they are scrupulously exact in these
matters.

o.,A Question Won the Case.

Mr simon Wenban, the capitalist,
nasssed into the Palace Hotel yesterday,
passed lightly across the asphaltum
court and disappeared into the billiard
room, putting his cigar and looking Tor

"There goes a man." said a gentleman
who caught last glimpse Of the per-
son who built the unoccupied quarters
Of the Bohemian Club, "who did one OF
the best things 1 ever saw done IN
court of law. 1t was back In Nevada
in early days, when he was inclined 10
do little more work than he does now
and when mines were being sought for
by everybody. He lived out In the east
ern part Of the State, and being an euu-
Gated man, he was frequently utilized
bv the miners in the settlement OF dlS-
putes and the adjustment of knotty
questions. On one occasion q stranger
stole some mining implements from one
of Wenban's friends and the case was
taken into the justice court, the DEFEND
ant demanding jury trial. Wenpan
told the defendant that he would APP
near for him and see that the affair was
settled in the most approved Western
style. .-:.
"When court convened Wenban was
on hand to appear for his client The
defendant took the stand and made q
statement touching upon the case, and
when he had finished the judge said
'cross-examine.
"The self-made attorney looked stead
lily into the eye Of the accused man
and blurted out in loud voice: What
did you ever do for a living besides
stealY
Nothing answered the defendant.
"'Gentlemen Of the jury resumed
Mr. Wenban, listen to the evidence Of
the accused. 1 rest the case on the
testimony right here
"The judge was furious, but the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty. 1t was
the first and last case Wenban ever
took, and he certainly cleaned it Zip

Baking Powder Company Wins Its Case


Baking Powder Company Wins Its Case
in United States Court.
The decision of Judge Showalter in 4 re-
cent case that came up before him sustains
the claims of the Royal Company to the eX-
elusive use of tho name "Royai' as trade
mark for its baking powder. The special
importance OF this decision consists in the
protection which it assures to the MILL
ions of consumers OF Royal Dak-
ing Powder. Tho excellence Of this
article has caused it to be highly
esteemed and largely used almost the world
over. Its high standard of quality having
been always maintained, consumers have
come to rely implicitly upon the Royal
brand as most wholesome aud efficient.
If other manufacturers could sell under
the name of we'll known. reputable
brand incalculable damage would be doneto
the public by the deception. The determine
ton of the Royal baking Powder Company
10 protect tho users OF tho Royal baking
powder against imitators by q rigid prosecu-
ton OF them makes such limitations OF its
brand extremely rare.

leathern chairs in comfortable libraries and
write learned dissertations upon psyche

mind and it's attributes, the problem may
present scientific fascination that is alto
gether charming, but to the father and

little mouths, and who feel that their
children must have those indefinite
advantages which they somehow missed,
to the boy and girl making their own

problem of education is practical
enough, and there seems in it little
room for fine spun theories and
little time for experiments. Educa-
ton, since the time of the fathers
of the Republic and before, has been the
darling theme of America. Her public
schools have been the apple of her eye,
and that daring person was denounced as a
snob who spoke in sighting terms of either
the country schools with its "three R's''
or the town high school with its smatter-
ing of mathematics and little Latin.
Countless thousands have risen up and
called blessed these same schools. and
every American is glad to acknowledge
their important function in the formation
of American character, and in directing
the course of American life.-Wom
