Of the sea. There were races between
men-of-war cutters, European yachts,
rowing shells, Chinese sampans and
Malay colehs with great, dart-like sails,
so wide-spreading that ropes were at
tached to the top Of the masts, and a
dozen naked natives hung far out over
the side Of the slender boat to keep 1t
from blowing over. In making the cir
Gle of the harbor they would spring
from side to side Of the boat, some
times lost to our view in the spray,
often missing their foothold, and drag
cling through the tepid water at furi-
Gus rate.
Between times while watching the
races, we amused ourselves throwing
coppers to a fleet Of native boys in small
dug-outs beneath our bows. Every
time a penny dropped into the water
a dozen little bronze forms would flash
in the sunlight, and nine times out OF
ten the coin would be rescued before
1t reached the bottom.

II is many long year since so much
unscientihc and unnecessary butchery
has been INDUCED in as Is recorded in
the treatment Of appendicitis In the last
few years, says the New York Ledger.
Severe pain and certain symptoms that
might be attributed to dozen other
causes are charged to append citis and
a continuation Of them suggests expert
ments to the minds OF the doctors and
the operating table looms up in the i'm
mediate future as the only hope for life.
There are yet many physicians who in
sist that operations Of this sort are alb
solutely necessary, but it is a hopeful
sign Of the times that some Of the more
conservative and experienced doctors
declare that only in exceptional cases
is surgery positively necessary. AS a
simple home treatment several patients

effect upon the entire lining membrane

forth by one member Of the medical pro-
fession that no infant was properly
equipped for life until by surgical
means It had been deprived of the ver-
inform appendix and thus fortified
against future danger is too silly to de-
serve a moments consideration. Mil
lions Of people have lived and died
without ever knowing that was such
thing, and the proportion Of deaths that
can by any possible means be attributed
to this cause is extremely small. Some
day doctors and patients will realize
that a thorough washing out and
cleansing of the interior of the body Is
quite as beneficial as the same process
applied to the exterior. It Is asserted
by those who have had sufficient eX-
perience to entitle their statements to
consideration that the thorough wash
ing out Of the digestive apparatus by
means Of tepid water properly purified
would prevent at least half Of the dis
eases from which humanity suffers.

dozen long-limbed Malays took each q
5-year-old child astride his shoulders,
and raced for seventy-five yards. There
were sack races and creased pole climb
ing and pig catching,
Now came a singular contest-an eat
ing match. Two dozen little Malay,
King, Tamil and Chinese boys were
seated at regular intervals about an
open circle by one of the governors
aids. Not one could touch the others
in any way. Each had dry, hard ship
biscuit before him.
At the firing of a pistol two dozen
pairs of little brown fists went pit-a
nat on two dozen hard biscuits, and in
an instant the circular crackers were
broken into mass of powdered pieces.
Then commenced the difficult task Of
forcing the powdered pulp down the
little threats. Both hands were called
one for crowding in and the other for
grinding the residue and patting the
stomach and throat. Each little COM
petitor would slyly rub into the warm
earth, or hide away in the folds of his
many-colored sarong, as much as DOS
sible, or when rival was looking the
other way, would snap a good sized
piece across the lawn to spot within
his reach.
The little brown fellow who won the
5O-cent piece by finishing his biscuit
first simply put into his mouth a certain
quantity Of the crushed biscuit, and
with little or no mastication pushed
the whole mass down his throat by
sheer force.
The minute the contest was decided
all the participants, and many other
boys, rushed to a grea. rub Of molasses
