one seeks to attract guests by high

not SO bad, but the traveller who goes
to one of these houses to sleep will
wish that he had gone to another. The
bedrooms are small, thin walled boxes
in which you may hear the breathing

half the night by the conversation of
people at the other end of the hall, or,
worse still, be almost stihed by the
smoke from an opium pipe which is be-

The tea saloons furnish employment
to singers and ventriloquists or elocu-
tionists, who are hired by the propri-
etor to entertain the men who gather
there to drink tea and gossip. Upon
small tables are placed trays holding a
variety of cakes and preserves, which
are served with each cup of delicious,
freshly made tea.
The house of entertainment peculiar
to China is the dog and cat meat res

but that Tabby and Fido are served up

for other food, these stews are rather
expensive, especially if the cat or dog
chance to be black, and therefore more

LOOKS LIKE A BEAR.
A Diminutive Animal That You Can Fin,
In Water.

Diminutive Animal That You Can Find
In Water.
He really looks very much like a
bear, though you must put him under a
powerful microscope to see the resem.
blance. The extraordinary thing, how
ever, about this tiny creature is that he
is found in the cutters of houses, where
he is at one time dry as dust and scorch-
ed by the blazing sun, at another active
and full of life under refreshing
shower of rain.
The water bear is one of the Rotifer
animalcules, and is of all of them the
most capable of standing any extremes
of temperature without giving up the
ghost. He may be left dried up for
months, even years, and yet ON being
put into water will expand and begin
moving about and feeding vigorously.
Although he cannot stand boiling wa
ter, he will live in dry heat at far
higher temperature, even up to 800
degrees F. One has actually been kept
in vacuum for 80 days with sulphuric
acid and chloride Of calcium without
losing his capability of revivifcation
As for the reason why, it seems the
little beasts bodies are chiefly COM
posed of albumen. which, it is we'll
known, will stand very high temper
ature without losing its solubility.
Then, too, they are provided with two
skins, one over the other, and these
skins are wonderfully tough and elastic.
The water bear has the scientific
name of tardigrada, because he takes
life so easy. He is always fat and
plump and spends his waking periods
in constantly grubbing with his four
pairs of legs among whatever rubbish
comes in his way. Having eyes, brain
and nervous system, he is much ahead
of his tribe, and is altogether one of the
most interesting and amusing little ami
mails known to science. London Tit

cAsAN, THE TARTAR DWARF.
A Fierce Little MongOIian Who Lived
Nar4u-sas A.

A Fierce Little MongOIian Who Lived
Centuries Ago.
In the series of papers on Historic
Dwarfs, y in st. Nicholas, Mary Shears
Roberts describes the famous Casan.
Mrs. Roberts says;
Casan was the name of a little Mon
gol Tartar who fourished in the early
part Of the thirteenth centry.
He was born in the eastern part Of
Asia, not far from the ancient city Of
Karakorum. His parents belonged to
one of the barbarian hordes that owed
allegiance to Genghis Khan, and Casan
became a fierce though small warrior
and fought bravely under the banner Of
the great and mighty Mongol conqueror.
The exact height of this little dwarf
Is unknown. He was certainly not over
three feet tall, but he was active and
muscular and, like all his race, could
endure hunger, thirst, fatigue and cold.
The Tartars were unexcelled In the
management of their beautiful horses.
The fleetest animals were trained to
stop short in full career, and to face
without fiinching wild beaet or formi-
dable foe. Casan was a born soldier, and
at an early age became expert in all the
exercises that belonged to Tartar edu-
cation. He could manage a fiery courser
with great skill and could shoot an ar
row or throw lance with unerring
aim, in full career, advancing or re-
treating.
Like many of those small in stature,
he was anything but puny in spirit,
and while yet lad he gathered about
him troop of wild young Tartar boys
as reckless and daring as himself, Of
whom by common consent he became
leader. He commanded his Iawless
young comrades with a strange mixture
of dignity and energy, and they obeyed
his orders with zeal and willingness.
Sometimes they would go ON long hunt
ing expeditions, seldom failing to lay
waste any lonely habitation they hap

The Absentminded Man.

An amusing case of absentminded-
ness was experienced by young south
slider the other evening. The young
man is usually of bright nature, but
for some time past his friends have been
noticing that he does some peculiar
things. Not long ago he was at re-
ception, and a few minutes before clos
ing time he went to the coat box and
secured his hat and coat Then he walk
ed up stairs to the dancing floor and
picked up another coat and walked
home with it on his arm. Arriving at
his home, he found that he had one
coat on and another on his arm. The
next day he found the owner of the ex-
ira coat, and mutual explanations fol-
lowed and all was we'll. But that has
been eclipsed by his latest exploits He
had finished his toilet and started for
the street. As soon as he made his APP
pearance he was greeted with smiles
from everybody who saw him. He
walked down the street and could not
imagine what made the passersby smile
at him. Finally he reached the restau-

he realized that he was carrying some
thing in his hand. He looked at it and
found that he had carried the lighted
lamp from his room and had walked
several blocks along the main street
with it in his hand.
Another case is cited concerning the
same young man. At the Office where
he is employed he has occasion to an
ewer many calls at the telephone. One
evening he was reading book in his
room when an alarm clock rang in the
adjoining room. The absentminded
youth got up and commenced to yell
"Hellol Hellor' and when the occu.
pant of the other room inquired as to
the cause Of the yelling the young man
said in a sheepish manner, ooh,
thought it was the telephone bell ring

BE GOOD TO ONE ANOTHER.

Dear little children, where'er you be,
Who are watched and cherished tenderly
By father and mother,
Who are comforted by the love that lies
In the kindly depths of sisters eyes
Or the helpful words of a brother,
charge you by the years to come,
When some shall be far away from your home
And some shall be gone forever,
By all you will have to feel at the last,
When you stand alone and think of the past,
That you speak unkindly never
For cruel words-nay, even less,
Words spoken only in thoughtlessness
Nor kept against you after,
IF they made the face of a mother sad.
Or tender sisters heart less glad,
Or checked brothers. laughter
Will rise again, and they will be heard.
And every thoughtless, foolish word
That ever your lips have spoken
After the lapse Of years and years
Will wiring from you such bitter tears
As fall when the heart is broken
Dear little, innocent, precious ones,
Be loving, dutiful daughters and sons
To father and to mother,
And to save yourselves from the bitter pain
That comes when regret and remorse are vain
Be good to one another

SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS.

Carbonic Acid Gas Easily Generated From
Vinegar and Baking Powder.
That there is charcoal in baking pow
der, and that vinegar and baking pow
der will make carbonic acid gas were
two bits of knowledge impaired to sew
eral hundred school girls and boys by
Professor Peter 7. Austen in the hall
of the Brooklyn Polytechnic institute.
This was the second of a series of lee
lures to young people on How to Make
Scientific Experiments at Home"
Using the simplest kind of apparatus,
Professor Austen demonstrated how car
bonic acid gas can be generated from
combination of vinegar and baking
powder, and he showed also how the
burning of magnesium wire in a jar
of carbonic acid gas brings out the char
coal in baking powder. The children
were intensely interested in the state
ment that whenever they ate bread or
cake made by the use of baking powder
they ate a lot of charcoal, but they took
the lecturers assertion that there was
charcoal in sugar as a joke.
"While hot carbonic acid gas is light
er than air, cold carbonio acid gas is
much heavier than air and can be han
died like water, . said Professor Aus
ten. To show the heavy and palpable
quality he generated lot of it in a
large glass jar and proceeded to draw
it out in cupfuls. Lighted candles were
extinguished by pouring the gas upon
them as if it were fluid, and the pro
fessor showed his alert disciples how to
make carbonic acid gas run through a
cardboard trough. A dozen small can
dies, lighted, were placed few inches
apart i'll long glass channel From a
pitcher Professor Austen slowly poured
carbonic acid gas into one end by the
glass channel, and as he continued to
pour the invisible fluid the lights went
out, one by one.
The children watched with evident
delight the construction of a rude pair
of scales. 81 shall use only such things
as can be readily picked up around the
house, said the professor. He took a
common strip of board and planted it
upright ON his table. Across the top he
placed piece of lath and balanced it
exactly by hanging an empty bandbox
on one end and basin of shot on the
other. "Now, there is nothing but air
in the bandbox," he said. "Let me
show you how much heavier carbonic
acid gas is than air." And, suiting the
action to the word, he poured large
pitcherful of carbonie acid gas into the
bandbox. Immediately the bandbox de-
scended as if filed with bricks
The children applauded and shouted
in glee, and few minutes afterward
they were on their way to their homes,
