The Foundation of Woman.

A small boy in the mission Sunday
school OF Bishop Fallows' church pro-
pounded an entirely new theory of Gre
alton last Sunday.
"Who made man?" asked the teach
er. beginning as in the good old days
when orthodoxy used catechisms.
God" was the prompt reply.
"And how did he make himT'
"Out of dust, ma'am; nothing but
dust"
"And who made woman
God made her, too, ma'am."
"HowT'
The small boy hesitated and then re-
piled cheerfully, He caused a deep
sleep to fall upon man and then took
out his backbone and made the wo-
man."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

His Time to Fight.

when General Grant was presi-
dent" said Washington man, "a GER
tain friend of his came out of the west
to see him. One day, just after leaving
the White House, this friend fell in
with a fellow westerner in the White
House grounds. and heated encounter
took place, which suddenly terminated
by the generals friend knocking the
other man down ard out.
THE matter was hushed up. but the
general, naturally indignant, called his
friend to account, saying: John, you've
treated me and the office l hold with
much discourtesy. Why did you do
such a thing%
We'll, il was this way, general, re-
piled the now thoroughly penitent one.
You know there was bad blood be-
tween us, and he had set all sorts of
stories going about me. Just after
leaving you l ran into him, and he at
once accused me of doing n certain
thing. AS it was a lie l only laughed
at him. Then he accused me of some
thing else. and that being also a lie 1
jeered at him again, but his third accu-
sation was true, and, by CAD, sir, l
couldn't stand that, so / knocked him
down. New York Tribune.

Pay Day In China.

New Years is the national pay day
in China. All accounts must be squar-
ed up at that time, and the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such that the creditor can en-

To prevent such action families club

great day for the pawnbrokers. Their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes be-
fore the new year. There are crowds
also who want TO pawn other things
in order to get money to pay their
debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates
of interest, in which they are protect
ed by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole country
red on New Years day in more senses
than one. Red is the color which with
them denotes good luck and prosperi-
ty, and all the New Years cards and
invitations are on paper of that color.
Every child gets its New Years pres
ent wrapped in red paper, and red in
scrptions are pasted over the doors of
the houses.-London Mail.

Several sepoys were suffering from
that African pest, the bigger" whose
scientific name of Pulex penetrans de-

toe nails for preference. and then pro-

Unless he is very carefully removed
the sores cause the most intense irri-
tation and may lay man up complete
ly. The usual method of removing him
is to widen the hole in which he has
entered and then extract him, intact ie
possible, with a needle, care being TAX
en- that no eggs or young are left be-
hind. The place should then be dressed
to prevent fostering. 1t is not advisa-
BILE TO march much after removing jig
gers, but unfortunately it is frequently
unavoidable.

ing his first visit to Uganda some ma
tives caught a leopard in one of the
banana plantations whose feet we're so
thoroughly diseased from jiggers that
he was quite unable to move or to de-
fend himself.-Blackwood.

Some day when / have ACCUMULATED
a stake" said one of the bright bell
boys at the Blossom House the other
day. Il am going TO have some fun"
what are you going TO dog a by
stander asked.
Il am simply going 10 some big hotel
in Chicago or St. Louis and live for a
day" and the boy paused TO let the
remark sOals in.
"And that's your idea of n good
time, is it?' queried the curious lis
tener.
Hold on, / am not through yet. L
am going to a big hotel with three big
grips. and am going to make the bell
boy carry all of them up 10 the room
for me, / won't carry even the small
est one. Then as soon sas l am in my
room 1 am going to have some ice wa
ter. / will not ring for ice water, but
for a belIboy. and after he has climbed
TO the fifth fioor-bellboys are not per-
mitted to use the elevator, you know,
and shall no. take a room lower than
the fifth fioor-when he has climbed
up there viii tell him I want some

and pour the rest in a cuspidor. Then
/ will ring for more ice water. After
that / shall order a cocktail served in
my room. don't drink, but there
must be variety in my scheme Then
will decide to take a Turkish bath
and will call boy to carry my grip
down 10 the bathroom. When I re-
turn. will ring for more ice water.
II will insist on having the same
bellboy serve me all the time, and I'll
keep him chasing around until he will
curse me at every step. Then when l
get ready TO leave and he is happy to
think he shall never see my cursed
face again 1 will give him a dollar.
You know i couldn't think of putting
a boy to all that trouble without re-
warding him, because / have been
the mill myself. What have
just described happens to a bellboy
every day of his life-all except get
ting the dollar when it is ver."-Kan-

TRAINING HORSES.
Preparing the New Animals For the
Circus Ring.

Circus Ring.
All through the winter circus men
are training the animals for new tricks
for the next summer. The winter is
by no means an idle time. Training
horses for the ring is interesting work.
The first thing done is to put the new
horses in the stables with the old cir
Gus horses TO get them used to their
new company. and n queer thing no.
ticed is that the old horses are jealous
of the newcomers.
4 great deal of patience and time is
required to train the horses to run
around the ring. They are blindfolded
and taught to run around the ring in a
circle. The natural tendency OF the
horse is to run straight, and it is 4
hard thing for him to learn. A sys-
tenn of checks and lines makes the
training easier than formerly
The horse is an Observant animal
and apt to do what he sees another
horse do, so when the blindfold is re-
moved he is placed alongside an old
trained horse, and the man who is to
ride the new animal does tricks with
the old ones. then tries them on the
pupil a good, intelligent horse soon
learns and actually helps his rider.
Horses are very sensitive to applause
and with that stimulus VIII do twice
as much work as without. They are
just as likely to lose their heads as hui
man performers and have TO be care
fully watched. \ well trained ring
horse is easily worth $1,000. and rid
ers who are stars usually own their
horses. The most careful attention is
given these animals. Before each act
their backs are rubbed with resin,
which has to be washed off aftepward
