Chinese Thrift.

A dollar in the hands OF Chinaman
represents far greater purchasing pow

European. In China a dollar will pur-
chase $500 pieces of cash composed Of
copper and zinc. These cash, with
hole in the center and strung on
cord, weigh seven pounds. A servant
or common laborer in Peking Is glac

high and is capable Of holding 1lO'OOO
gallons of wine. The length OF the
sides is % feet. The slaves are bound
by 26 huge hoops, which together

Sir John Evans dealt with the an

m the stone age in Egypt, in a presi-
DENTAL address delivered by him at

He said that forty years ago the al
most universal belief of those who hau

ton was that a literal Interpretation
was to be placed on the opening CHAP
tors of the book of Genesis, and that
the chronology of Archbishop usher
and others in fixing the creation or
man at the year 4OO4 b. c. was beyond
all reasonable question. 1t was not
until 1859, when the subject was In
vestigated by the late Sir Joseph Presi.-
witch himself and others, that the pres

A Race of Dwarfs.

The island of Luzon, in the Philip
pines, containes one of the recognized
races Of dwarf men, the Aetas, whose
average height is only four feet eight
inches, or four feet nine inches. They
dwell among the mountains in the in
terror of the island, and are allied to
the Andamanese, inhabiting islands in
the bay of Bengal. 1t is remarked by
a recent writer that all of the dwarf
races survive only in the most mac
cessible parts of the continent or is

1000 Not n Leap Year.

The reason why 1900 will not be a
leap year, although it is divisible by
four. is that according to the Gregor-
ian system, on which our calendar Is
based, the closing year of century is
never a leap year unless it is exactly
divisible by 400. The next leap year
will be 1904, the last having been 1896
Ever since 1900 the leap years at the
end of a century have been separated
by a gap of eight years, but the year
1000 will interrupt the series.
