sashes and water drips are of brick,
specially designed.
All the material Is non-absorbent.
The entire ceiling Is Of brick and tile
yaulting. The keystones are terra
Gotta, the ribs of the arches and groins
of moulded brick. Not only is there
not nn inch OF timber in the structure,

HE WAS IN A HURRY.
AAa the bright small Boy COT the
Bob He Was After wish-
out Delay.

The merchant had arrived at his Of
Ace rather early in the morning, and
five minutes after he got down to his
desk a foxy-looking, bright-faced boy
came in. The merchant was reading,
and the boy, with his hat off, stood
there expectantly, but saying nothing,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
At the end Of two minutes he
coughed slightly and spoke.
Excuse me, sir" he said, "but I'm
in \ hurry"
The merchant looked up.
what do you want2" he asked.
II want job, If you've got one for
me-"
"0h. you dol" snorted the merchant.
well. what are you in such q hurry
about?"
''I've got to be, that's why" was the
sharp response. 81 left school yester.
day afternoon to go to work, and
haven't got place yet, and 1 cant
afford to be wasting time. If you
cant do anything for me say so and
I'll go. The only place where ! can
stop long is in the place where they
pay me for it,"
The merchant looked at the clock.
When can you Gomez" he asked.
Il don't have to come, replied the
youngster. I'm here now, and I'd
been at work before this if you said
so."
Half an hour later ne was at 1t, and
he's likely TO have job just as long

wha. Lack of . Letter DID.

An enterprising restaurant proprie-
tor in Philadelphia hung out large
blackboard sign the other day with
the following announcement: ''You
can't beat our l5-cent dinners" This
sign proved to be good drawing card
until n young man OF humorous turn
of mind came along. The latter, See
ing the sign, stopped, and, after scru-
tinizing II closely. smiled one Of those
smiles which bode no one any good.
He waited until none of the employees
was watching, and, taking out his
handkerchief, he erased the letter "b"
from the word beat. The transforma-
tion was complete, and 1t was not until
a crowd had collected that the pro-
prietor of the restaurant discovered
why there was q larger crowd outside
than inside.

MINNESOTA JUDGE ARRESTED.
He was Accused of Being q Rnssiea
spy fn Japan and Hailed
IAto Court.

In conversation the other day
with some friends in Minneapolis,
Judge Canty, late associate chief jus
tice OF Minnesota. said he remembered
with anything but pleasure an expert
ence he had in the quaint little
Japanese city of Modje, when he was
on his way to China few months
ago. He was suspected by the mill
tary authorities of being a Russian
spy and subjected to great annoy
ance and humiliation, says the Chi
cago Chronicle.
His account of the affair was that
he was passenger on steamer
which anchored short distance from
Modje bay. Having unlimited curl
osity and considerable time, he went
ashore and found much to interest
him. He became enthusiasts, and de-
termined to see all that could be seen.
Finally he wandered into a parklike
place and against the august person
age of a representative of the mikado,
a military officer Of high degree.
Without offering any explanation
the officer unceremoniously hustled
the judge off to the military court
and charged him with being in the
employ Of the Russian government.
The news spread and the courtroom
soon filed with natives. Further
more, a mob outside suggested in or
der to expedite matters that the
prisoner be executed first and tried
afterward.
The judge was arraigned and plead
ed not guilty. He asked for change
OF venue to the captain of the steam
er, where he could prove that he was
an American. The motion was de-
MED, but after walking him over the
territory he had traversed during the
day at II o'clock at night they al.
lowed him to depart, hungry. mad and

WHITE OTTER SKIN DANCE.
Peculiar Ceremony Observed AmonG
the Sac and FOX Indians
( In oklahoms.

About 400 Sac and Fox Indians were
Oklahoma, few days ago, dancing
the religious otter skin dance. This Is
ceremony observed by these Indians
every ten years. 1t Is queer doc
trine. The adherents trust oil In the
white otter. AS they cannot get the
animal alive in this country, they take
his skin. This is placed on high pole
in the center Of the excited Indians,
and they go around it for hours at q
time, never removing their gaze
Then when they are so tired they can
70 no farther the medicine man tosses
them the otter skin. and they bury
their face In 1t. While thus situated
they claim to see all their dead rela-
tions and get glimpse of the happy
hunting ground. The dance lasts q
week.
During the frat two days Of the
dance only 46 Indians received the
otter skin. They are not given it un-
til the great spirit so directs the medi-
cine man, and hence there is weeping
and wailing at the dance. Those who
have prayed for the otter skin and not
yet received 1t think they are lost.
They take this as an evil omen, and
think the great spirit is angry with
them.
There are two white girls taking
part in the otter dance this year, hav-
ing recently married Indians and be-
come converted to the faith.
A great dog feast took place at
night, and 142 dogs were killed and
cooked. The Indians enjoyed their
meat and are dancing hard, hoping to
win back the will OF their Great Spirit.

ADVICE TO WOMEN DOCTORS.
Chinese Minister says They shouid
Go TO the Orient and Learn
Medicine.

Wu Ting Fang, the new Chinese min
lister to the United States, is veritable
genius. Besides being accomplished in
Chinese literature, and statesman of
rare ability, he is linguist and n phil
osopher, says Washington exchange
lie was the principal attraction nj the
recent commencement of the Woman's
Medical college in Philadelphia, and, OF
course, was set down for speech
''Siuce came TO this country" he said,
II have met women doctors, lawyers
and journalists, but until l received
the initiation to make this address it
had never occurred to me the women
had advanced 50 far as to have ON in
stitution exclusively devoted TO the
training of women for the medical pro-
fession.
II am particularly interested in this
institution, because of the Chinese girl,
who, after studying here. returned to
her native land, where she has since
made great success. In China it is
generally believed that there is one
sphere for women and another for men.
The world has acted upon this belief
for ages. am glad that women have
gained such position in the medical
profession that they cannot be re-
moved.
"There are medical works in the Chi
nese language containing medical
knowledge gained from the experience
and practice OF long ages. 1t is great
pity that this contribution of kaowl-
edge cannot be available to the whole
world because of the great difference
in language. The Chinese attach great
value TO the practice of medicine. II
the good people of the European ma
tions and of America had sent only med
icnl missionaries to China. missionary
troubles would happen rarely. If you
were TO ask my advice to-day, young
ladies, l should say with Horace Gree
ley: GO west, young lady, stop not
on this side Of the Pacific, but go un-
I'll you arrive in China. 30 to China,
