CHINESE SIMPLICITY.
Even the Great Lii Hung Chang Dis
plays Lack of Proper
Understandings.

The Chinese are said to be very much
like children in their thought and ac-
ton. The commerce of one of their
principal rivers is greatly impeded by
ledge of rocks, on which myriads of
junks and other kinds of vessels have
been wrecked or badly damaged during
the years Of many centuries In fact
it is almost impossible for any sort of
vessel to pass this obstruction without
being hurt in some way. Recently sew
eral British men-of-war lay at anchor
for some weeks in the river and the
commanders offered to blow up the
rocks and create safe channel without
cost to the government if permission
were given. The matter was referred
to Ii Hung Chang, China's greatest
statesman, who, after mature delibera-
ton, declined the offer, on the ground
that if they took the rocks out of the
river it would deprive western China of
water and flood the eastern part of the
country! This reminds US of the phi
losopher who opposed the building of
the Nicaragua canal because he
claimed that the Pacific ocean was sew
cal feet higher than the Atlantic, and
that if the canal should be opened the
western ocean would flow into the
eastern and produce another Noah's
food!

ELECTRIC THAWING.
An Invention That Is Much In De-
mand Among the Mines of
the klondis&e.

Miners who have returned from the
Klondike say that in that region, as in
others where the winter temperature
runs down to we'll below zero, the bug
bear of the miner is the frozen soil in
which he has to work. Under the in
fuence of the frost the ground turns
as hard as rock for several feet down,
and until this obdurate stratum is cut
through mining operations are at
standstill. The way in which the soil
is softened has, so far, been to build
a bonfire, and simply thaw things out.
This, however, besides being tedious.
is a great waste. of heat, IS per cent.
of which is lost in the atmosphere. a
patent for thawing the ground electric
ally has just been sold for a large sum.
The invention is intended to be used
for winter mining in countries where
the cold is severe. Specially-construct
ed dynamos and electrodes are placed
against the walls Of the shaft, with
space of from five to six feet of ground
intervening; so that when the current
is turned on it has to cross the face of
this space to complete the circuit. AS
the ground contained therein forms
a resistance to the motion of the cleo
tricity, heat is generated, and the
ground is thawed. The heat thus gen
Grated can be so controlled that it can
be applied in any manner that will
utilize its full force and effect. By the
old bonfire system it took "a hours to
freeze out foot of soil; by the cleo
trical system it is claimed that it is
possible TO thav out the same depth of
frozen earth in one hour, or pa feet per
day.

SERGEANT WAS VERY TIRED.
Did Not Have Time to Spell Ont the
Full Name of the Chief
of Police.

He was up before the trial board on
a charge of laziness. He was desk
sergeant from west side police sta
ton and the charges and specifications
were that he was always exceedingly
tired. that he loafed over his desk, and
indeed. that he was so grievously af-
f1icted with ennui that he would not
spell out in full the longer words in
making reports Of daily occurrences to
the general uperintendent of police,
duty which fell to his lot as desk SER
geant, but was much given to the habi
Of authorization. This, it seems. says
a Chicago exchange. had been a
constant source Of worry and an
noyance to the captain in command
of the station, and when repeated warn
ings were of no effect charges were pre-
ferred and he was brought before the
tribunal, composed of the chief and the
inspectors of police. The story of his
shortcomings and short spellings was
told in detail and as a cincher his cap
tain said:
''Why, chief, this man is so lazy that
when he makes out a report instead of
addressing it to Joseph Ripley, Gener-
al superintendent he writes Jos Kip,
Gen Supe.' If he came to the word phil
anthropy' in report he would make it
phil and you couldn't tell whether it
was philanthropy or Phil Daily"
On this arraignment, it is needless to
say, the sergeant was found guilty and
promptly disciplined.

for social success. Nothing in the world
equals good health. DR.. Pierce's Favor
tie Prescription overcomes irregularities
of girls and women. It strengthens the
organs that distinguish the sex. It es-
tablishes a vigorous constitution, stops
the drains and palms, and is of incalcu-
able benefit in case of prolapsus. For
the young girl entering womanhood,
for the bride, the wife and mother,
for those passing through the "turn
of life" it is Of untold benefit 1t fits
the girl to be wife and the wife to be
a mother. 1t cures at home all drains,
pains, aches and irregularities of women.
1t is a temperance Cure-no alcohol
or narcotic in it. Buy it Of honest
medicine dealers, who do not try to
substitute something else to make lit
tie more profit.
Mrs A. F. Crenshaw of Panasoffkee, Sumter
Co.. Fla, writes: " It is with heartfelt graft
tude to you and for your kind advice, that must
tell you what your medicine has done for me.
After consulting you about my case l toolSyour
Favorite Prescription and can say it cured me
Of female weakness. I was all rundown; suf-
fered with sick headache, pains in the back and
bearing-down pains. My health is better now
than 1t has been for three years"
For stubborn bowels, lazy liver and
biliousness, nothing is as good as DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are
pleasant in fact as we'll as nane-no
