cts have been placed in the pavement
just outside the curb. These sockets
are so feet apart. and into them. when
parades are to be held, are inserted
wooden posts, on which ropes are
stretched, as also telegraph or tele-
phone wires for the interchange Of
communications. and for police and
hospital emergency cases. This device
has demonstrated its advantages over
the older methods. The work is more
effectually done. with fewer policemen
than before. and the rope supports
are much stronger than the temporary
cross-sticks generally used for this

LAr'0 OF THE DRAGON
Belief In This Unsightly Creature Is

General In China.
In China the belief In dragons Is gen.
eral. There are good and bad dragons
In that land, and while it is easy to
gain a dragons favor, it is just as easy
to irritate him. Some dragons live I'M
foreground. Others fly in the air. Thus
earthquakes are caused by under
ground dragons moving themselves
tempestuously. Eclipses are caused by
aerial dragons, wherefore fireworks are
set of and gongs are beaten to fright
en- them. The overlooking Of rivers Is
imputed to a specially bad dragon
named Kiao. One of the oldest Chinese
books, the Calendar of the Hia, recon-
mends in cases of humiliation that the
authorities organize a hunt through
the country to discover and capture the
dragon. They always find him. They
tell a great dragon story of the pres

young Emperor was touched in his
turn. The sentence of Punishment was
revoked. and one Of the imperial mes

SUMMER DRINKS AND FOODS.
Hints on Their Preparation and Use
The Simplest Are the Best.

From the London Telegraph.
Has any one really found the perfect
summer drink? Many think they have,
and are so delighted that they insist
that all their friends shall share their
secret, pushing their precious recipe
with all the zeal and insistence of a
professional traveller for some famous
beverage. OF course, the inventor is
assured that the drink in question is
perfection, but these preparations are
so numerous that there must be varia
ton in their merit. The three degrees
of good, better, best, are allotted with
perplexing impartiality by different
individuals, for in this, as in all such
matters, personal likes and dislikes
generally dominate the decision. Elk
cessive heat in town at once creates
a universal demand for the drink that
shall be at once cooling and refreshing,
and If perfection has still eluded those
who have pursued and still pursue 1t,
there are yet many summer drinks
which are most agreeable and eftica-
cious. An abuse of ice at once de-
stroys the effect desired, besides being
dangerous. A liquid set on ice and
slowly chilled Is far more to be rec
commended than the drink in which ice
floats, but it Is not every one who will
admit this truth. Than plain lemon
squash, made from the juice of the
lemon, sweetened sparsely with sugar
and diluted with water, and finally
cooled on ice, there is no drink more
acceptable and cooling in the heat of

Novel wound Stitcher.

a novel and most useful instrument has
been invented by DR.. Paul Michel, well
known French physician. With it wounds
on body can be stitched effectively,
quickly and without causing any pain to
the patient. Heretofore wounds were
stitched by hand, and this operation was
not only somewhat dangerous and slow,
bat also decidedly painful.
The new instrument consists OF a for
ceps or pinchcrs and Of case or sheath,
which contains n number of nickel hooks
or bands somewhat similar to those
which are frequently seen on the corners
of cardboard boxes. slight pressure
sutices to free these hooks from the
sheath and within one minute between
20 and 30 OF them can be placed on a
wound in such manner that they will
effectively close it. The reason why they
cause no pain is because their tiny round
cd points only penetrate the epidermis
and not the lower layer of skin. Other
advantages which they possess are that
they can be easily disinfected, that it is
40 trouble to remove them from the skin
after the wound is healed and that they
leave hardly any trace OF n scar.
DIR. Michel has received congratulations
from the most distinguished European
physicians. aud his instrument is being
rapidly introduced into leading hospitals.
