High Living" Is q Commonplace In
Celestial Empire.
What is the charm Of China-that
is, for Europeans? Why is it that not
infrequently they prefer living there
to remaining at home in civilized
America? There Is an account of a
young woman, the daughter of wealthy
parents, whose husband was an Of
fetal of the Chinese imperial customs
service under Sir Robert Hart. Her
father, while making her a prolonged
visit some four or five years ago, was
struck even then by the signs of hos
tility to foreigners. He was so much
impressed by the danger of life in
China that he made his son-in-law a
fine business offer, to remove any
financial objections to returning to
America. The son-in-law's consent
was easily obtained, but the daughter
yielded only out of regard for her ia
ther. Life in China seemed then to
her far more attractive than life in
America, because, for one thing, they
have no housekeeping" problem
there. The perfection of the Chinese
domestic service goes far toward MAX
ing life there comfortable for Euro
peans. You see," explains a resident,
giving a dinner in China means sim
ply telling your majOr-domo hat you
want to give one. You don't have to
bother about it further. So dinner
giving, formal and informal, is a fea-
ture of the life. The pick of a very
good market refer to the treaty
ports-is at your disposal, and what
in America might be called high liv-
ing is a commonplace. The foreign
residents, leading, of course, an iso-
lated life, draw close together as a
community, and form a charming So
cial circle. They are, as a rule, true
cosmopolites, we'll educated, well bred,

TRACTION ON TONGUE
This Is the New Method OF Saving the
Drowning.

This Is the New Method OF Saving the
Drowning.
What is called the Laborde method
is a surprising, simple and effective
method of reviving the drowning. The
asphyxiated person is placed on his
back, with the head low, the clothing
is loosened about the neck and the
jaws are opened and kept open by a
wedge passed between the molar
teeth; a knife handle, a cane end or
any suitable object of a size sufficient
to keep the jaws distended will serve
the purpose. The throat is freed of
mucous by the finger wrapped in a fold
or handkerchief. TRACTION on the
tongue is then begun in the following
manner: The thumb and index fin
ger are covered by one thickness of a
handkerchief to prevent the tongue
slipping, and the tongue Is seized as
far back as possible from the tip. Fiji
teen times to the minute at about
equal intervals the tongue is pulled
out sharply and the tension imme-
diately relaxed. This traction must
be so exerted that the whole body of
the tongue is affected and not merely
the tip. AS the tongue is drawn out
to it's fullest extent the first two or
three times it facilitates action if the
index finger of the other hand is gent
ly thrust in the pharynx, as though an
effort were made to induce vomiting.
These fractions should be kept up at
least thirty minutes and may be con-
tinued an hour without result, but
ought not to be discontinued under
that time OF even longer, for many
persons have been restored to life and
health who have been pronounced
dead over an hour. If assistants are
at hand it is we'll to supplement the
above method by the use of mechanical
artificial respiration according to me-
chanical artificial respiration.-Phil-
adelphia Times.

with that of saving hayward souls.
He says religion nowadays has to have
some side attraction, and the large
crowds that he draws leads to the
conclusion that he is right. He says
human nature is human nature, no
matter where you find it, and that
horse nature is plagued human"
when you study the disposition of a
broncho.
Evangelist Mullen holds his meet
ings in the open air, in places that
gives him ample scope for his eques-
trian exhibitions. When he appears
upon the platform that is his pulpit
he is not a very ministerial looking
figure. He wears a corduroy coat,
CHAPS a sombrero, and high-heeled
boots.
The evangelist offers a prayer and
then takes off his coat. The broncho
Is led up In front of the space reserved
for the anxious bench, and the audi
ence is Immediately interested. Men
and women form a ring at a safe dis
lance from the untamed steed. There
is much craning of necks, but the
preacher reminds every one that it is
a religious meeting, and that order
must prevail. Then he takes from it's
place on the table beside the Bible a
small rope. He approaches the bron-
cho, which eyes him s~uspiciously, and
sets it's hoofs in a manner that shows
1t is getting ready to buck. Mr.. Null
len pats the horses nose until the an
Ina begins to expect a piece of sugar
or a handful of oats. At this point
he steps to the table and takes up a
halter that he conceals behind his
back, while he returns to the bron-
cho and resumes his caressing man
ner.
Just as the men are becoming i'm
patient to see some contest of strength
the evangelist slips the halter over
the horses head. The broncho is taken
by surprise. 1t casts a %reproachful
glance at the preacher and kicks vi
c1ously. Confidence has been betrayed
and it snorts as if it would like to
make the second part Of the evan
gelist's program a failure by fixing
the preacher so that he would not be
able to appear in public for a month.
But MI. Mullen is calm and confident.
He steps to one side of the horse, and,
after stroking the animals tail, he
braids the rope into it, wrapping the
end tightly. Then he produces another
rope or two, and the crowd waits pa
tiently to see him try to ride. In less
than ten minutes the evangelist is
ready to vault upon the broncho's
back. AS he takes the halter and
shouts Get up4" there is much enthu-
siasm.
Men press around the ring and tell
one another that the "sky pilot"
knows his business, and that he
ought not to waste his time on persons
when he knows what he can do with
horses. After finishing his feat the
evangelist puts Oh his coat, wipes his
heated brow with his handkerchief,
and says his topic will be Going to

eye and a pleasant face, and when he
