The extraordinary action of DR..
Bracken, secretary of the Minnesota
State Board of Health, in asking the

ground that his annual stipend was ex-

made many Of his friends think that his
mental faculties are impaired. The
board thinks he is sane, though they
consider him "rara avis" among the
medical fraternity. At his request his
salary was reduced from $500 year to
$1,000, and now he is supremely happy,

PAYING FOR THE HONOR.

In China it is believed that people
should pay according to their means.
The one barber in Peking who UNDER

ing charges foreign minister so CENTS
a secretary Of legation 25 cents, and an
unofficial foreigner 10 cents. Natives
pay about half cent for the same serv-
ice. SO says Mr.. Holcombe, in his book,
"The Real Chinaman," and he adds this
bit of personal experience:
In passing through Japan l once had
occasion to employ a Chinese chiropo-
dist residing there. His charges, so he
declared, were five cents to his fellow
Chinese, 10 cents to an ordinary Japan
ese, and 50 cents to all other foreigners,
In the course Of the conversation, while
he was at work, he said:
81 hear that our Chinese minister
came to this hotel to-day. Do you
know whom ne came to see?"
"Oh, yes" said 1, ''he came to call on
me-"
"Then you must be- an Official" said
the Chinaman..
l modestly admitted such to be the
fact, and the conversation drifted to
ether subjects. When the mans labors
were concluded he demanded dollar.
in the face of his own statement that his
regular charge to all foreigners, ex-
ceptng japanese, was 50 cents; and he.
enforced his claim by this argument:
"Sposey that China minister come see
you, you b'long all same he. You
b'long same he, you makey pay one dol-
lar all same. That b'long ploper,"--
