an informal reception was held and
dainty refreshments served. The table,

LESSON IN CHINESE WORDS.
Here Is an Easy Rule by which They
May BE Pronounced
Correctly.

If few simple rules are observed
Chinese words are not difficult to pro-
nounce. A always about as a in far;
e always pproximately as in they;
very like i in the machine or pin
and u always as the u of rule. Every
syllable has an independent value, ane
should be given that value in pro.
nunciation. AS for consonants, they
are pronounced exactly as written
These three rules will secure as cor.
rect pronunciation of Chinese names
as can be secured without oral in.
struction, says the Chicago Chronicle
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 Ii Hung Chang, not lie
hung-chang; peh-king for Peking, not
peek-in; shahng-hah-ee for Shanghai
not shang-high; tsoong-le-yahmen for
tsung-li-yamen, not tsunglie yamen.
and so on. Under the second rule
Tientsin is pronounced teeyentsinn.
accenting the yen syllable, not teen
tsin. Yunnan-fu Is yoo-nahn-foo, not
ynan-fyu. In like manner all words
are pronounced with syllable dis
tinctness and with uniform vowel
sound. Under the third rule the prov.
ince name Szechuan is sounded not
zekuan, but nearly as zeh-choo-ahn
touching the choo very lightly; Liau-
tong peninsula is li-hoo-tong.

to her that / could freely recommend
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that
she could take bottle of the remedy and
after giving it fair trial if she did not

In the course of day or two the lady

In the northwestern part Of Chicago
is little farm, removed from the
main road over which the trolley cars
rumble, and almost hidden by wide
clover fields, says the Tribune of that
city. 1t is not a regular stopping
place for anyone going by on the
main road, for no one would suspect
that anything like civilization lurked
among the tall weeds on that prairie.
Purely by accident some bicyclists
stopped near the farmhouse, little

Inquiry for drink of water

scription of all the big hotels Of the
city, including the Grand Pacific,

SAM JONES BREAKS DOWN.
On the Verge of Nervous Prostitution
VIII Take a Rest.

VIII Take a Rest.
The Atlanta Constitution publishes the
following:
Rev. Sam P. Jones is threatened with
nervous prostration, and, to avoid phys
ical collapse, has decided to cancel all his
lecture dates and take long rest.
The famous evangelist has been contin-
ually on the go for many years, and the
terrible mental and physical strain has at
last begun to tell him. His endurance for
so long without rest has been source of
wonder to bis friends, who have frequent.
ly warned him that he was in danger Of
Frustrating himself. Mr.. Jones refused to
heed these warnings and abandon his lect-
uring and evangelstic work, but during
his recent trip through Virginia and the
Carolinas he himself noticed a waning of
his physical powers, and became alarmed.
He came to Atlanta yesterday morning
to attend a meeting of the building COM
mittee of the auditorium at Young Harris
institute, which was held in the Constitu-
ton business Office, and while in the city
consulted his physician, DIR. Hardin. The
latter frankly told Mr.. Jones that unless
he took rest, collapse was inevitable,
and advised him to go to his home at Car
terville and do no work until his nerves
recovered their tone.
Mr.. Jones promised to follow his ply
sician's advice, and the voice of the elo.
quent and aggressive evangelist will per-
haps be heard no more this winter. While
in Atlanta, Mr.. Jones, speaking of his con-
.dition, said:
"Yes, the doctor tells me l am on the
eve of nervous prostration. The trouble
began with me year ago, and little by
little has grown into complications that
threaten my health to degree that forces
me to rest. My kidneys, stomach and
spine are in the present involvement, and
all comes from overwork."
