man does not invent wants for his master
as the Indian is said to do, but he tries to
obey, and he puts up with harsh treat
ment without modifying that intention ap-
probably. An Indian will work for about
half the wages that a treaty port China
man expects, but when a newcomer can
save his shoe leather and his nerves for
the American equivalent of about Sc a
month he does not feel at first like regis
tering a very strong protest against high
wages to his boy.
Boys in this section and northward are
strictly native institution. They are not
the kind that emigrate. China is good
enough for them, and when a master goes
they seldom accompany him. 1t is prob
ably as we'll that this should be so. for
boy away from his environment would be
quite useless, while here he can do almost
everything except the thinking for his mas
ter. Cinnamon who go to other countries
are from the south, where the spirit OF
adventure is sometimes closely allied to
moral and personal traits quite distinct
from those that prevail in parts Of China
where there is real winter. So to learn
what boy service means as the majority
of foreign residents know it, one must live
a while where the boys are rooted.

Filipino Pearl Divers.
, the Nashvf1la Kramer

Early in the morning the Sulu or Viscay-
an, denuded Of attire, propels his banca to
the bed and anchors 1t with a heavy stone.
He is provided with a small but heavy Gu
chillo and bag Of netting. Dropping over
board. he sinks rapidly by the aid Of
lump Of raw copper. This is prevented
from being lost by a rope and as the wa
tiers are transparent the actions of the
divers can be easily seen. They are ex-
perts in aquatic work and can remain be-
meath the clear waters for an incredible
length Of time. The usual depth of the OPP
erations is not more than thirty or forty
feet, though eighty feet has been attained
at Palawan.
Once at the bottom, the diver quickly
and deftly cuts the shells from the rocks in
his immediate vicinity and then draws
himself to the surface. While filling his
net he usually remains under water for a
period of sixty to ninety seconds. though
some of the most expert hold records that
reach five and three-Quarter minutes
While at work they are often attacked by
ravenous sharks. These they either fright
en- or fight of. but there is one thing far
deadlier they all succumb to. That is the
exhausting nature Of their labor. accentu-

CompradOre's Revenge.

Chinese name for it. Before he had done
so he decided to quit the firms employ

with a poor opinion of the partners good

locked attractive enough in Chinese char
acters, and orders were given to have 1t

the new title was publicly displayed. and
he saved the firm the annoyance of becom-

BETTER THAN CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE.

Jetmore, Kan, July 1st.-Mrs. Anna
Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr.. G..
G. Jones, of Burdett, and one of the
most popular ladies in Hodgeman
County, has been martyr to head
ache for years. It has made her life
continual misery to her. She suf-
fered pains in the small of the back,
and had every symptom of Kidney
and Urinary Trouble.
To-day she is as well as any lady
in the state.
This remarkable change was due
entirely, to remedy recently intro
duced here. 1t is called Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and many people claim it to
be an infallible cure for Kidney Dis
eases, Rheumatism and Heart
Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and almost with the first
dose she grew better. In week her
headaches and other pains had gone,
and she had left behind her all her
illness and days of misery.
A medicine that can do for any one
what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for this lady, is very sure soon to be
universally used, and already the de-
mand for these pills has increa sed
wonderfully in Pawnee and Hodge
man Counties, where the particulars
of Mrs. Freeman's case and it's cure
are known.

very recent date it's worship In
Egypt continued vigorously.
Serpent worship was most devel
oped in Egypt, where serpent rep
resented both the evil and the gooc
principles. The evil, red serpent.
Typhon, caused the death of the
good Osiris, who was sometimes rep
resented as falcon-headed serpent
The asp symbolized the goddess who
protected houses, gardens and the
infancy of a royal child. Bel was
worshiped by the Chaldeans in the
form of a serpent. AS n dragon it
abounds in Chinese mythology.
A worshiped serpent was believed
to have delivered Rome from an cpl
demic. In our southern states and
in Hayti are still to be found rem
nants of snake-worship. The Mohi-
cans call rattlesnake their grand
father. The Moquis hold snake
dances. Unless we may except the
cow no creature has been more
widely venerated than the serpent
from the earliest times. The Phoeni.

it. Zoroaster, founder of the Magian
religion of the Persians, taught that
the serpent was Ahriman, Lord of
Evil, who made men to sin. The
Greeks worshiped serpent as rep
resentative of Aesculapius, the fs-
nous healing god. He learned so
much from watching them that they
were pictured with him, placed in
his temples and worshiped in his
honor. OF all the serpents of his
worship the Hindoo venerates the
cobra most. When he finds snakes
hole he places a daily offering of food
near it that the evil spirit may be
propitiated. The Hindoos rested the
world upon . serpent. The Orphites
were a sect in the second century
who venerated the serpent that
tempted Eve and worshiped a real
serpent, which they allowed to curl
around loaves of bread which were
afterward broken and distributed
around as the Eucharist.
Almost god-like honors were paid
to the eagle as the symbol OF Jove
by the Romans. Misroch was the

FALLS AMONG PARIS sAvAGEs
french Aeronaut Discovers That
There Are More Perfls On the
Land Than I'm the Air.

Gomte Henry de la Vaulx, famous
aeronaut, had one of the most thrilling
adventures of his life, not up in the
air, as might be expected, but just
after he had made a safe descent in
Paris.
The comte, accompanied by NJ.
and Nine. Dugue de la Fauconnerie,
made an ascent early in the afternoon.
Failing to catch a favorable breeze,
they circled around over Paris. When
they did descend it was unfortunately
in one of the worst quarters of the
city, and the travellers were soon sur
rounded by bowling mob.
Women were trampled upon, several
men were overcome with the escaping
gas, and others, to add to the excite
ment, threw lighted matches toward
the exhaust pipe of the balloon. Halt
hundred policemen charged to the
rescue and finally the comte and his
friends were escorted to a place OF
safety.

Known for weeks that she would be

hotel with a subpoena. This he had
not served, but had left with an eld
arly cousin, relates the New York
Times.
When the cousin handed over the
document to the young woman she
went to a legal acquaintance and
asked him how she could avoid re-
that she didn't have to go to court,
inasmuch as the service of the SUBJ
poena was not made to her in per-
SON. He advised her to use her in
fiuence with friend she had in the
district attorneys office, so that she
would not be bothered with any more
services. The friend whose good Of
fees were to be asked happened to be
high in the counsels of the chief
criminal prosecutor, so high that he
sometimes prosecuted cases himself.
In the particular case wherein the
young woman was wanted as a wit
ness he was interested personally, so
much so that even his friendship for
her was overbalanced by his interest.

Flying Machine q Success.

Great, secrecy has been observed by
Denny Bros, the builders of Shamrock
H., in the construction of flying ma
chine for Seniors Bagara, father and
son. The trials, which were held early
the other morning on the grounds OF
Helenslee house, are stated to have
been successful. The machine rose
steadily and demonstrated the accu-
racy of the principle of its construc-
ton and the power was adequate. The
mechanism is somewhat on the style
adopted by Suter, of Zurich. 1t has a
pedal arrangement, which was adopted
after repeated experiments in prefer
ence to petroleum engine. The ma
chine is 40 feet from tip to tip of the
wings. The weight, including that of
two men, driver and steerer, is about
600 pounds.
