Tho IIurtl Work Cure.

DR., Pye-Smith, in an address before
the British Medical Association, pre-
scribcd ] ard work as remedy for
many ills. He declared that regular
and steaty work is the best cure for a
thousand nervous ailments, and that
this is true is shown by the fact that
the Woodworking people are not those
who are affected by those ills. He de-
clared th:t nervous prostratiOn, worry
and brain tension are too often synO-
nyms for the effect of gambling and
drink. There can be no question that
hard work is healthy, for it Is those
who work hardest that live longest,
and the lazy die young. One advan-
tage Of DR.. PyeSmiths prescription
is that it Is easily followed and that
the remedy is chcAp.-Chicago Trib-

the girls chase him, but mothers as

to get the boy to call on their daugh-

mothers pursue this course, but enough
do it to cause the boys parents to send
him out of town, although he has good
prospects ut home.-Atchinson Globe.

Raal Pooh BaIis in ChinN.

Some idea of the work Of the. aver
age Chirese official will be gathered
from the following statement made
by an eminent Chinese statesman to
an interpreter.
The interpreter states: II once asked
member of the Chinese Cabinet,
who was complaining of fatigue and
Ovcrwork, for an account Of his daily
routine. He replied that he left home
every morning at o'clock, as he was
on duty at the palace from 3 to 6. AS
a member. of the privy council he was
engaged en- that body from to 0.
From 0 until II he was at the War
Department, of which he was presi-
dent, and, being n member Of the
board of punishment, he was In at
tendance ut the office Of that body
daily from II until 2. AS one Of the
senior ministers of the foreign office
he spent every day from till or
in the afternoon there. These were
his regular daily duties, and, in addi-
ton to them, he was frequently ap-
pointed to serve on special boards or
commissions, and these he sandwiched
in between the others as he could. He
seldom reached home before in the
evening.
ut should be added, however, that
the Chinese idea Of hard work is not
quite the same as the English idea.
The Chinese official nrdouhtoh'''
spends long hours at his various
offices, but this is no safe guide.
Perhaps the busiest department
in the Chinese Government is
the boarG of punishment, which re-
views the sentences pronounced by
Chinese judges in all parts of the en-
pirc. Naturally, therefore, the work
is rather heavy, but in other depart
mcnts eating and drinking Is the chief
business of the day."-London Mail.

An English consular report says:
"The German pencil export trade, in
which Bavaria, with her important
pencil factories in Nurcmburg, is
largely interested, has of late suffered
severely from the competition of large
American pencilmakers at New York
and elsewhere, som, of which turn out
from 1000 to $4,000 gross per week.
In spiteo Of efforts in Germany to cheap
en- the production so as to counterfeit
the effect of heavy import duties in
foreign countries, the common and me-
dium qualities Of German pencils are
said to be almos+ driven from the
field. The ingenious labor saving ma
chinery of the American factories,
and their large scale Of production,
and especially the cheaper price at
which they can supply themselves
with cedar wood, are the chief causes
for the failure of German makers to
hold their own. The fact is, Germany
is practically dependent on the United
States Of America for her supply Of
suitable cedar wood, and has to put
up with what she can get, the Ameri-
cans keeping the best for themselves;
then, again, comes the cost of trans.
port of In timber and an import duty
on arrival in Germany. In 1898 1882
tons of cedar wood, worth $1,175,OO0.

Widows in China.

The average Chinaman has noted
aversion to widows marrying a second
time. Years ago it was impossible for
n widow to have Il second husband,
but, although the law Of the Celestial
empire now allows widows to marry
again, the woman who thus offcndS
custom Is held in very low esteem.
Occasionally Chinese widows marry
again. in spite of public opinion, and OF
late years the number has largely i'll
creased.
But n widow who remains Il widow
Is very popular, and if her family Is
wcll-t0-do and she suffers no inconvc-
nience, it is much better for her not to
enter again the matrimonial estate.
She has abundant opportunities for
gaining favor and her works of virtue
are much appreciated. The greatest
virtue, however. Is that of remaining
a widow, and whatever her personal
dispositiOn the Chinese will not hear
a word against her character If she
conforms to custom in this respect.
Although honorcd in life, she is hon
ored more in death, and some of the
graves of widows excel in magnili-
cence the tombs of the richest man
darins.-LondOn Mail.

An Am erican's Service In China's Army.

The first foreigner employed by the
Chinese for the reorganization of their
army was an American. Frederick
Townsend Ward, soldier Of for
tune, born in Massachusetts. When
twcnty-nine years old Ward, who had
a high school education and had served
in the French army, landed at Shang'
hal. This was in 1860 when the Taip-
ing rebels were everywhere success
full Ward organized Il band composed
Of men Of various nationalitics and
offered to capture a city for fixed
price. The first achievement of his
small army was the capture of the
walled town Sunklang, which was
held by 10000 rebels. AS reward he
was made n mandarin Of the fourth
rank. Ward then cleared the country
around Shanghai, being paid so much.
After a while he disappeared and was
next heard of when the natives at
tackled the city in large force, when
Ward appeared ut the head of three
wellarmcd and well-drilled native reg
imnnts. who rescued Shanghai. There
after he became one of the lcaulng
men in the defense Of Shanghai. He
adopted the Chinese nationality I'M
der the name Of Uwa, married the
daughter of Il wealthy mandarin of
the highest grade and Acknowledgement
in the service of the emperor. Gen.
eral Ward died as the result of
wound received in directing an assault
on Tseke. The Chinese paid him the
by burying him in the Confucian Gem
etery, at Ningpo. Wards successor in
command of the Chinese forces was
Major Charles G. Gordon-"Chincse"

THE GROWTH OF ANIMALS
Interesting Comparisons Between Young
and Adult OF Various Species.

It Is not generally known that the
human baby Is smaller at birth in pro-
portion to the size. 1t ultimately attains
than most other animals.
The size of the young Of any animal
varies In proportion to the size of the
brain. and is significant in many ways.
The average height Of 4 baby ut birth
IS about twelve inches, and az the nv
erage height of n man is generally put
down as five feet ten inches the pro.
portion Is IS one to 5.S3.
The young rhinocerous Is two feet
long when he Is born, but when he
grows up he Is seven feet In length,
Thus the proportion is one to 80. The
very same measurements apply to
the young master elephant, though the
pachyderm in question Is always
measured by the height of his back
from the ground. However, the young
one Is about tvs feet high and the av-
erage height of mature elephant Is
seven feet, so the proportions remain
the same. The same relative meas.
urements hold good in the case OF the
young hippopotamus.
In the case of the deer we find that
the young are two apd half feet
In height, while the full-grown deer is
no more than four and half feet, or
proportion Of one to 1.S The CRATES
proportions are those Of one to 3.3, for
it is one and Il half feet tall at birth
and six feet when full grown.
A lion cub Mt birth Is about eight
inches lcns, while the grown-up Leo
measures about, five feet, or the cnor-
nous proportivu or one to 10. The
tigers measurements are about the
same, and so are those Of Brcr Bear
.. The aYiq9 R!d sFyya Of growth Of animals
In general the larger the animal ut
maturity the slower its growth. a
man is not fully grown until he Is
twenty-five years, but thereafter slow.
ly gains in po"er until his fifty year
the mans development being five
times as slow.
An elephant natures AS slowly and
lives as long as man. There are IA
bles telling Of the extremely long life
of crows and eagles, but in few cases
have these been verified.

SWEET POTATOES IN EUROPE.
Tho Toothsoine Dolicacy Hardly Recog,
nized in London and Paris.

| hLcu III LONDON anu Ihrlb.
DO you realize tfat our sweet potato
Is strictly American dish, and that
neither the English nor the French
ever indulge in this toothsome deli
cacy? AS matter of fact, an actual
| trial shipment OF American sweet po-
tatoes proved that the people of both
| these nations failed to recognize them,
and many thus saw them for the first
time. The Department Of Agricul.
turc, in an effort to introduce Amer-
can sweet potatoes abroad, last spring
made an experiment shipment OF
twenty barrels. Half OF the shipment
was sent t, Paris. and attracted con.
siderable attention at the Exposition,
cllciting many inquiries. The other
half was sent to London, and part Of
1t offered for sale in four different
shops, and part of it distributed
among English families, who were
asked for an expression of opinion
rs to how they liked them. The por-
ton OF the consignment offered for
sale was quickly gobbled up by Amcri
cans residing abroad, who gladly paid
eight cents Il pound for them. The
English palates did not take kindly
the taste is evidently cultivated
one), but on second and third trial
they were unanimously voted very
palatablc. In Paris novelties in fruits
and vegetables find a ready sale at
fancy prices None Of the potatoes
sent to Paris were offered for sale, al
though many offers to purchase were
made. On the whole, the Govern
mcnt experts are satisfied that If
sweet potatoes are properly intro
duccd large foreign trade can be
built up. This must be done by edu-
eating the English and French people
in the various ways Of preparing
sweet potatoes for the table, and Of
making very small shipments at first
and gradually increasing these as the
demand REQUIRES
