Faithful to HI. cnntnln.

That was a loyal if not very gentle
answer once made by a private soldier
TO Frederick the Great Of Prussia. as
the story is told in Harper's Round Ia
BILE:
During a campaign in Silesia the
king made it his habit TO stroll through
his camp in disguise at night, 10 come
into closer relations with his soldiers.
One night he was stopped by a sentry,
but, giving the proper password was
permitted TO proceed. Instead Of doing
SO, however, he endeayored to tempt
the sentry into accepting a cigar, say
ing tL;.t a smoke would solace his long
watch.
1T is against the rules, " said the
soldier
"But you have my permission, said
Frederick
Your permissionr cried the soldier
And who are you?"
Il am the king.
The king be hangedp said the in
corruptible sentry. "What would my
captain say?"

on street cars, " said a regular patron of
the Peters avenue line. IF you will
take ride on this line some dark
night, frequently ahead of the car
you'll see light waved across the track,
and If you watch closely you will see
the motorman begin applying the brakes,
and the car will stop, and smiling coll
ored gentleman will board the car and
laughingly say that he got this car to
stop for him. l found, upon asking a
conductor one day, that the negroes in
this part Of the town have caught ON to
the fact that as that part Of the city is
black at night the motormen Of the
swift moving cars cannot detect their
presence ON the track in sufficient time
to stop their cars for them, so they, fig
uratively, hang out light for the car
TO stop, and it seems TO work both to
the satisfaction Of the colored population
and the motormcn on the cars " Neces-
sity is the mother Of invention, and il
seems our colored brother has hit upon
a scheme TO offset the lack of lights on
those streets back of town traversed by

EFFECTS OF TEA SMOKING
Physicians Alarmed at the Growth OF the
Habit Among Women.


Habit Among Women.
Physicians and specialists on nervous
troubles are treating numerous cases of
extreme insomnia and nervousness in
young women without disclosing To
them that their condition is the result
of practicing the new vice of smoking
tea cigarettes The habit is increasing
From observations Of its effects west
side physician declares that a tea ciga-
rette is genuine brain excitant Any
one who uses it and yet does not work
with her brain would go half crazy with
nervousness, but with those who do
brain work it is different, for the stimu-
lus produces strange intellectual activ-
ity.
After couple OF green tea cigarettes
a poem, for instance, will almost write
itself, 1 am told by one of my literary
patients. The effect of the tea cigarette,
while stimulating TO the brain and its
flow of thought, acts as pure sedatiye
to the rest of the body, quieting restless
ness uneasiness or actual pain. The
after effects are bad if they have not
been worked off by unusual mental
work
At some houses green tea cigarettes
are handed around after dinner, and /
know three actresses Of considerable
reputation who give tea smoking parties
twice week One woman, TO break off
this habit, on which she has expended
nearly $40 n week, has lately volun-
tarily placed herself under private re-
straint She had concealed her habit
from her husband by using an artfully
contrived cigarette case. It resembled d
bunch Of keys, each key containing ON,
cigarette.
$50 much has the habit spread thai
several tobacconists and druggists arr
keeping tea cigarettes in stock for regu
lar customers. The active chemical prep
aration of tea is theme, just as caffeine
is of coffee and nicotine Of tobacco
When theme is administered TO a frol
or a small animal, it is found that i
chiefly influences sensations which caf
feline OF coffee does not. In larger dose
theme produces spontaneous spasms o
commissions, which caffeine does not
This is, in fact, the ultimate effect O
smoking numerous tea cigarettes, iinall
producing fits OF commissions.

tea contains much more theme than oi

habit Of smoking tea cigarettes is terr

RAYS and Diamonds.

One excellent use towhich the new x
rays can be put should interest women.
1t seems that by their aid one can read
lily determine whether diamonds are
real or false for the rays pass quite
through real diamonds, leaving them
transparent, and not at all through false
ones. A real parure when photographed
would show only the mounting, but in
a false one all the stones would turn
out black. Strangely enough, the X rays
viii not penetrate glass. Eyeglasses, if
photographed, come out black. This
proved useful in the case Of a Vienna
glassworker who got bit of glass into
his finger. BY the aid Of the rays it was

Albert anderson, who lives in Har-
lem, has monkey named Billy. The
monkey has room 10 by ~ which is
fitted with all sorts of acrObatic appa-
ratus likely to lie enjoyed by small
but healthy tree climber In one corner
If the room is a bed, and in another are
two dumbbells made fast with chains,
because the monkey throws things when
its temper is ruffled.
The monkey is so fond Of music that
when Albert Anderson, Jr., plays the
harmonicon in its hearing, no matter if
it be eating or rollicking, the monkey
stops, and, keeping time to the music,
sways back and forth from its hips, its
eyes wide open and it's face expressing
great joy. Young Albert gave Billy a
mouth organ one day, and Billy scream
ed with delight. The monkey put the
instrument to its mouth and blew hard.
A discord followed instead Of the tune
which the monkey plainly expected, and
it thereupon held the harmonicon at
arms length to look at. 1t blew the in
strument again and again, each time
looking at it as il to make out what the
trouble was. At last Billy threw the
harmonicon across the room, chattering
i'll anger. Albert played waltz on his
instrument and Billy grew less excited,
but would not touch harmonicon again
A week later the boy got a music box
for the monkey. After showing Billy
how to turn the crank the boy left the
box ON the floor. The monkey looked at
it, turned the box upside down, shook
it. and then, taking hold Of the handle,
began to turn it slowly. The music
came, and the monkey began to dance,
first ON one foot and then ON the other,
whining with delight. It is only after
the removal Of the box that Billy can
be made to exercise ON the bars and
swing enough to keep in health.
Billy does not weigh more than two
pounds, but every grain of those two
pounds is full Of grit when it comes tC
fight. Sam, the house cat, big gray
brute, SCARED in street fights with wan
dering tramp cats, got into Billy's room
one day, and the monkeys lips curled
The cat looked up at the monkey, which
was on trapeze bar, and licked it
chops. Billy apparently knew what tina
meant and dropped down part way L

Puppy Dog Dinners.

Chow dog, in the way Of Chinese
diet, is so great delicacy that to leave
it out of an official dinner in China
would be as great a crime as leaving
out whitebait or asparagus in May on
similar occasions in this country. At
Canton rows Of dogs, skinned, dressed
and ready for cooking, are hung up in
lines on the stalls in the market place.
The poor chow, when thus he contributes
to the delicacies of the heather Chinee's
table, must rot have outgrown the ten
der stage of puppydom. When he is ?
months old and his little carcass weighs
two pounds, he is at his best, and once
he has managed to escape his doom till
he is 6 months old he has chance OF
living to a patriarchal age, for after
that time his flavor" is not, from the
epicurean point of view, what it ought
to be-
From the non Celestial point Of view
the chow pup is far too amusing and
handsome a little customer to be sacri-
feed on the same altar ON which are
laid shark fins, duck tongues and swal-
low nests. The baby chow in appearance
is like a tiny bear cub. The lower 10, =
600 Of China-or rather the lower 10, p
600, 000-who cannot afford a dinner of
chow, philosophically eat rats instead,

THE INNUlT RACE.
A Peculiar People Who Live on the Coast
Line of Alaska Territory.

Line OF Alaska Territory.
The Innuit race Of people, commonly
and also corruptly called Eskimos, occu-
py almost the entire coast line of Alaska,
with the numerous outlying islands
from the boundary line westward along
the arctic coast to Bering strait; thence
southwark to the Alaskan peninsula,
over the peninsula and the Aleutian is
lands, ard eastward and southwark along
the coast to Mount St Elias, with the
exception Of a comparatively small ter
ritory at Cook S inlet, and also at the
mouth of Copper river, at which points
the Tinneh tribe of Indians from the
interior have forced their way TO the
coast. Living constantly on or near the
sea, they from infancy have not the
slightest fear of the dangers Of the deep,
and at an early age become bold naN-
gators and skilled fishermen and sea
hunters.
The word ''innuit' in their native
tongue signifies people, and as such is
used by them to designate those Of their
own race as our people. Eskimo" is a
word of reproach and has been given
them by their neighbors, the term mean
ing raw fish eaters. " The Innuits Of
Alaska are physically much superior to
those inhabiting the eastern side Of the
continent in Greenland and Labrador.
They are all of the same race and speak
a common language through each local
ity, and often each village from the At
lantic to the Pacific will possess a dia-
lect distinctively its own. Those of our
territory are tall and muscular, not a
few of them being feet in height
They have small, black eyes, high cheek
bones, large mouths, thick lips, coarse
brown hair and fresh, yellow complex
ions. In many instances men will be
seen with a full beard and mustache,
and in some particular families their
manly beauty is further enhanced by
wearing labret below each corner Of
the mouth in hole cut through the
lower lip for the purpose. They are a
good natured people, always smiling
when spoken TO, and are fond OF dane
ing, running, jumping and all athletic
sports. Alaska News

OSTRICH HUNTING.
Profitable Sport That Is Making the Ar
rican Birds Scarce.


An ostrich chase is very attractive
sport, or rather the sale of booty is so
great as to attract hunters. The Arabs
give themselves TO it with real passion.
Mounted on their fine little horses, they
try as much as possible to fatigue the
ostrich for as il is feet high and has
very strong legs it possesses quickness
of movement which the best horse can
not attain. 1t has great endurance.
Overtakcn by the hunter, it seeks to de-
fend itself with its feet and wings, but
more often it still strives to escape by
night, uttering plaintive cry. In fact,
the ostrich is deprived of the power of
flight by reason of its great size. The
muscular force with which nature has
endowed it is not equal to lifting such
a weight. It's peculiar organization has
made it the courier of the desert, where
it is able to quickly traverse the almost
limitless expanse.
The Arab knows very well that it is
the habit Of the ostrich to make great
detours about its nest in circle. He
chases it, then, without ceasing until it
- dlilOSt Antiis Nltit NNii thff ~ SUI
cumbs, concealing its head in the sand
in order not to see its enemy, or in
stinctively hoping 20 escape a danger
which it cannot see any more. This
chase requires eight or ten hours, but it
offers large rewards The plumes are
worth considerable sum, the Skin
makes good leather, and the Arabs are
very fond Of the flesh. Besides, in spite
Of the fact that it reproduces its species
rapidly, the ostrich is all the time be
coming rarcr. and it is hunted for ex-
port and domestication in other coun-
tries. II is one of Africa's great re-
sources and may become a new source
of prosperity TO Algerians if they are
willing tomake the effort. The point OF
tho popular saying, "the stomach Of m
ostrich, has been confirmed recently by
an autopsy on one, doubtless for time
captive, when the following was found
in its stomach: A parasol handle, two
keys, two great pieces Of coal, glove
a handkerchief, pair Of eyeglasses, 4
ring, comb, three large rocks, the neck
of two beer bottles, the sole Of shoe, ;
