CATION, who is a close observer Of Chi
nese tactics in the war between China
and Japan. says that the reported loss
of 1900 at the battle of Pietsang is
probably an overestimate, or else
shows that the Chinese have adopted
the methods they employed during the
war with Japan of using underground
mines. The Japanese found these Chi
nese mines one of the dangerous meth
DDS of destruction, as they were 80 I'M
usual and SO adroitly concealed. AT
one time the explosion of such mine
in a free country supposed to be free
from the enemy caused widespread de-
struction. AS winter advanced, how
ever, the snow on the ground permit
ted the Japanese scouts to trace the
footprints of Chinese parties sent out
to lay mines, and they were carefully
avoided At present there is no such
means of detecting the mines. They
are characteristic of Chinese love OF
gunpowder and fireworks, although
much more deadly than any other mil
itary contrivance used in that county

simple Rules for Pronouncing Chinese
Names

Chinese names are not difficult to
pronounce if few simple rules are re-
membered. A always about as in
far; always approximately as in
they; very like in machine or pin;
and always as the II of rule. Every
syllable has an independent value, and
should be given that value in pronun-
ciation. These three rules will secure
as correct n pronunciation of Chinese
names rs can be secured without oral
instruction.
For example. under the first rule, one
would say tah-Koo for Taku, not take
you, as one may frequently hear the
word pronounced; lee hoong- chahng for
Lii Hung Chang. not lie-hung- chang;
pehkin for Pekin, not peek-in; shahn-
hah-ee for Shanghai, not shang-high;
tsoong-lie- yahmen and SO on. Under
the second rule Tien-Tsin is pro-
nounced teeyen-tsin. iunnan-fu is
yoonahn-foo, not ynan-fyu. In like
manner all the words are pronounced
with syllable distinctness and with uni
form vowel sound. Under the third
rule, the province name Szechuan Is
sounded not Zekuan, but nearly as Zch-
choo-ahn, touching the choo very light
ly; Liau-tong peninsula is li-hoo-tong.-

THE DOUGLAS SHOE.

The best advertised and consequent
ly the best known shoe In the world
today Is undoubtedly made by the W.
L. Douglas Shoe Co., Of Brockton,
Mass. The one idea of this company
has always been to sell shoe for
$3.50 which equals in every way the IS
shoes OF any other concern. They are
able to do this on account OF there be-
ing no middle mans profit, as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
to the wearer In so Of the principal
cities of the country they have their
own retail stores. The goods are made
in all sizes and widths, and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs
over 100 hands. and all labor trou-
bles are settled by the state board OF
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
Is employed, and pay about the best
average wages of any shoe workers In
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to 7,435 per week. This
company makes shoes for men only,
and it is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denver

The Hard Work Cure.

DIR. Pye-Smith, in an address before
the British Medical association. pre-
scribed hard work as a remedy for
many ills. He declared that regular
and steady work is the best cure for
a thousand nervous aIiments, and that
this is true is shown by the fact that
the hard working people are not those
who are affected by these ills. He de-
clared that nervous prostration, worry
and brain ,ension are too often syn
onyms for the effect of gambling and
drink. There can be no question that
hard work is healthy, for 1t is those
who work hardest that live longest.
and the lazy die young. One advan-
tage of DR.. Pye-Smith's prescription
is that 1t is easily followed and that
the remedy is CHEAP.
