Saved the Little Bottles.

l have a patient who is wonder
fully considerable of my interests" said
a prominent physician lately. "A few
weeks ago he had malaria, and 1 pre-
scribed Quinine for him, giving him
four-grain capsules, SO that he might
take the drug without discomfort. He
came out of his attack and few days
later called to see me at my office.
Judge of my surprise when he exhibit
ed the empty capsules and said, Doc
tor, l thought you might like the little
bottles, SO | saved them and brought
them back. He had emptied each four
grain dose of the bitter powder, and
then essayed the rather hopeless task
of washing it down with water:
couldn't do otherwise than to take the
little bottles from him without a word
and next time I'll give him quinine
in another form. "-Phila delphia Pub

ROUSSEAU WAS MODEST.
lie Refused to Expose an ImpOstOr
Posing in His Shoes.

Jean Jacques Rousseau was not
troubled greatly by conscientious scru-
pies. vet he posses sed the rare virtue
of a broad, human sympathy in an
eminent degree. Perhaps it was the
consciousness of his own weaknesses
that made him so sympathetic toward
others. An anecdote is related of him
which places this virtue of his in a
strong light. On one occasion he had
composed an opera. which was per-
formed before the king, Louis XIV,
and met with the royal approval. The
king sent for him and if he had put
in an appearance he would probably
have obtained a pension. He was,
however, of retiring disposition and
could not brig himself to face the
court. To his friends he gave as
reason his republican opinions, but his
real reason was his shyness. Accord
ingly he fled from the court and
sought the privacy Of a public inn.
While he was there a man came in,
who began telling the company that
he was the celebrated Rousseau, and
proceeded to give an account of his
opera, which. he said. had been per-
formed before the king with great sue
cess Most men in Rousseau's position
would have felt nothing but contempt
for the impostor, but this extraordi-
nary man felt only pity and shame
Il trembled and blushed So he tells
us in his Confessions" for fear the
man should be found out. that it
might have been thought that I was
the impostor" He was afraid that
somebody might come in who knew
him and expose the pretender At last
he could bear it no longer and slipped
out unobserved. Very few people
would treat an impostor like that

O6e Old and The New.

Turn from the Herald. the Sun, the
Tribune or the Times OF today and
glance over an issue of the same jour-
nails during the month OF September
1851. 1t is the paucity Of personal
news in the old newspaper, the over
flowing abundance of it today, that
arrest the attention and denote the
contrast; the great space now given
to reports of minor events, petty
things, of which no one may have in
terest for many persons but which in
the aggregate make the modern news
paper indispensable to legions Of read
ers, while the best and greatest of the
newspapers Of fifty years ago were
easily dispensed with by the larger

LETTERS TO THE CHINESE.
Postman Is More Reverenced In China.
town Than Policeman.

town Than Policeman.
No interpreter is required to assert
the mail that comes to the residents
of the Chinese colony in any of the
larger cities of the country. The fact
is due to the precautions taken by the
celestials themselves or their cores
pOndents in the land where the boxer"
thrives. A letter to a Chinaman is
generally consigned to some we'll
known person whose name is written
in English. When a celestial writes
to his family in China he invariably
tncloses a directed envelope. Chinese
names are a puzzle even to Cinnamon.
Every Chinaman has several entirely
dissimilar names, his birth name"
and marriage name" being instances.
Then he has clan name, or society
name, and a business name and per-
haps another name or two for variety

The larger firms have their adj
dresses printed on envelopes which

mail in the light of an honorable
trust, and there has never been any
complaint that letters are delivered to
the wrong person. 4 Chinese may
have a serious falling out with a firm
and may have transferred his bust
ness to a rival, but mail addressed in
care of his former connection always
reaches him. The Chinese are great
letter writer's. OF course. there is a
great deal of business correspondence
between Chinatown and Chinese ports
but much Of the mail matter is of a
social nature. Many Chinese who
have a good command of the intricate
written language of the dragon en-
pirs make a good living writing letters
for others of their race who don't
know how to write. When a Chinese
in this city writes to his relatives
in China he incloses an addressed en-
velope
The postman is more reverenced In
Chinatown than the policeman. In
fact, that hardly expresses it, for the
policeman only gets the reverence
which comes from fear Of the law,
while the postman, as the link which
connects the inhabitants with the land
of their birth, is most popular. He is
fortunate man every Chinese New
Years week. for he receives many
presents. If he tried to drink all the
Chinese wine offered to him on his
rounds in the holiday week. he would
never live through it. One does not
have to consult a shipping guide in
Chinatown to learn when the next
mail is due from the far East The
Chinese know to a day when every
mail arrives and figure to the hour re-
garding the posting of China-bound
letters. They know that it takes thir-
ty-two days for a letter to go from
Chicago to Hong Kong if it is sent by
the Vancouver steamers. They also
know that it takes a little longer if
sent by the San Francisco or Seattle
| routes, consequently, the Vancouver
| mail is always the heavier.

WOMEN FORSAKE KITCHEN.

Latest Fad OF Feminine Emancipation
Women i'm France.
The latest fad of the feminine eman-
cipatiOn women in France is that the
fair sex should no longer supervise
what goes on in the household kitchen.
This campaign against home cookers
is led by Nine. Seminal, who contends
that cookery should in the present age
of progress, be the work of specialists
Trained cooks, it is proposed, outside
the domestic circle, might prepare the
various meals, and women, thus re-
lieved of their duties as mistress Of
the house, would have more leisure to
devote to higher pursuits. Washing
such is the arguments rarely done
at home in France, nor mending, nor
dressmaking Why should not the
kitchen be suppressed and with it the
daily drudgery of marketing or pre-
pairing meals? Nine. Seaman appears
to believe that matters would be ex-
cellently arranged by the foundation
of culinary walters, to which families
would subscribe so much per month,
and in return be provided with their
daily food. The ambition of home life
in France. particularly in Paris, We are
all well aware, differs essentially from
the notions on the subject in England.
1t may be doubted. however. whether
the average FrenchwOman of the per-
iod would be happier were she relieved
Of one of the most important of her
domestic functiOns.-Daily Messenger.

KILLED BY THE CARS.
Charles Harrington, Forest County
Boy, Meets Death on a Railroad.

Charles Hervel Harrington, young
man well known to many Forest county
people, a son of the late George Har-
rington, was so badly injured by an acci-
dent on the Pennsylvania railroad, at
Farr, near Latrobe, last Tuesday, 26th
ult., that he died a few hours afterward
in the hospital at Greensburg, Westmore-
land county. How the accident occurred
his relatives and friends have not yet
been informed. He had some time pre-
viously been employed as a brakeman
on the road, and it is supposed that in
some manner he was thrown under the
train. His widowed mother, who is a
daughter Of Judge W, H. H. Dotterer of
Ross Run, was notified by telegraph, and
on Friday last the remains arrived here,
and the same day were buried in the
Zuendel cemetery, German Hill, beside
those of his father, who died lS years ago.
Rev. Eager of the F. NJ. church conduct
ed the services.
The deceased was born and reared to
young manhood in Forest county, his
last work here being on the new bridge
which spans the creek some distance be-
low jug Handle run. From there he
went to Emporium and next to Cumber-
land county. From there he went to
Fayette county where he was employed
in bridge building for the railroad COM
pany, being finally set to work as brake
man near the place where he met his
tragic death. He had grown to be a man
of genial disposition and industrious
habits, having only few days before his
death written his mother about his EN-.
ployment, and stating that he was kept
very busy but was making good wages,
and seemed to be in the best Of health
and spirits.
Charles was aged 81 years, 8 months
and 10 days, and besides the stricken
mother, leaves one sister and three broth
ers to mourn the loss of a beloved son
and brother.

The DerrIck's oil report for the month
of March shows that fewer wells were
completed than during any previous
month since February, 1899, and the new
production was smaller than at any
other time during the past two years.
The new wells of the month were made
quate to sustain the daily production, and
unless April supplies something of the
unexpected order the yield of Pennsyl-
vania oil must drop considerably below
its present mark of about 10000 barrels
There were 4sl wells completed in the
various districts producing Pennsylvania
oil during March, with 6,7s4 barrels pro-
duction, and 1856 were included in the
duster list. Compared with February,
there was decrease of25 completed wells,
500 barrels new production and 25 dry
holes. The average output of the March
wells was close to II barrels.
