Chinese Surgery.

Like most things in China, the prac-
tice of surgery differs considerably
from that in vogue in less enlightened
western countries. Bone setting in the
Celestial empire is a complicated af-
fair and doubtless much more effica-
cious than European methods. In set
ting fractured limb the surgeon does
not attempt to bring the bones togeth-
er, but merely wraps the limb in red
clay, inserting some strips of bamboo
into the clay. These strips are swathed
in bandages, and in the outer bandage
the head of live chicken is placed.
Here comes in the superior science of
the Celestial After the bandage has
been secured the fowl is beheaded, and
its blood is allowed to penetrate the
fracture, for it nourishes the fractured
limb and is heap good medicine"

speed. With the way clear the wheels
seemed scarcely to touch the rails.
One-ten, and Liverpool! But griev-
GUS disappointment met the duke. The
packet boat for Dublin was delayed an
hour. He stormed and bribed, but to
no purpose, and was about to betake
himself to his hotel in despair when
telegram was handed him. 1t was from
Dublin and was signed angela
Papa's steam launch Champion in Liv-
erpool at your disposal.
Twenty minutes later saw the duke
speeding down the Mersey on the
Champion, fastest of its kind.
The day was drawing to a close in
Ballyconnell, and with it the election.
1t was tiny hamlet, so it was small
wonder that there was more interest
taken in the beautiful lady who had so
mysteriously appeared on the scene in
a fine carriage than in the election. AS
the minutes passed the girl, for she
was hardly more than a girl, grew visi-
bly, impatient as she looked and listen
ed for some one who did not come.
Finally she jumped lightly from the
carriage and asked the crowd if they
would be willing to listen to speech
in honor of the Tory candidate.
They were in a mood for diversion
and not loath to humor so pretty lady,
so they drew around her. Her voice
even attracted the gentlemen in charge
of the ballot boxes. They did not no.
tice that the hour for closing the polls
had passed by.
Five minutes past the hour-ten. The
girl was desperate. Gould she hold
them another moment. All the pretty
color had faded from her cheeks, but
she talked on.
Suddenly there was the thud of hoofs,
a whirl of dust, and another carriage
dashed up. Out jumped very travel
worn young man, who hurried into a
booth where his factor had all creden-
tials ready and deposited his thirty
seventh and last vote. If the election
judges realized that it was past the
hour for voting, they were too much
taken by surprise to say anything.
And then the duke turned to the girl.
She was still trembling, but she made
a brave attempt to smile as she said:
'Let me congratulate you on the ac-
complishment of the impossible"
The duke took her hand quite boldly.
Thanks to you, Angela"
And she did not deny him.

Men and Women In Sleeping Cars.
''It would surprise you to know that
heavy per cent of the persons who
travel on sleeping cars make no effort
to disrobe before they retire." said
a conductor who runs between New
Orleans and Chicago. 'They simply
roll in with boots, spurs and all. They
do not seem to know that berth on
sleeping car is just the same as bed
in private home except in size Some
of them will pull off their coats and
collars. Some of them will slip their
shoes from their feet. There are many,
of course, who are used to travelling
and who go In for a good nights sleep.

Brush the ham and soak for twelve
hours in cold water, then place in
deep earthenware pan and soak for
twenty-four hours in white wine or
rather sharp apple cider. Add to the
wine or cider large onion sliced, sew
eral carrots sliced, small bunch of par
sley and thyme and half dozen bay
leaves. Cover very closely so the air
will not get to the ham. When soaked,
put it in a pan and roast in not too hot
an oven. Allow twenty minutes to

liquor in which it was soaked and use
same strained for making a clear

spinach or greens.

said the canvasser as he produced
"Mother's Guide" for the inspection of
his victim, ''you will be able to bring

She took the book and weighed it

down on the palm of her hand as if to
see if it could be handled with ease and
dexterity.

Dismissing a Dead MANS Carriare.

At the conclusion of a funeral serv-
ice it is a custom among the old noble
families Of Rome for the chamberlain
of the household to come to the church
door and announce to the footman,
who stands in waiting, that his master
or mistress or whoever the Gead may
be, has no further use for the family
carriage, whereupon the footman in
forms the coachman, who breaks his
whip over his knees and drives mourn

Buddhist Ceremonies.

Some Buddhist ceremonies present a
striking analogy to certain Christian
rites. DR.. Medhurst says: 'The very
titles of their intercessions, such as
goddess of mercy holy mother
queen of heaven with an image of
the virgin having a child in her arms
holding crescent, are all such strik-
ing condolences that the Catholic mis-
sionaries were greatly stumbled at the
resemblances between Chinese worship
and their own when they came over to
convert the natives to Christianity

Centenary Of Trousers.

FROM the London Telegraph
Most people will be surprised to hear that
trousers. as at present worn by the male
portion OF humanity. have Just celebrated
fheir centenary. but. according to Fashion,
ouch Is undoubtedly the case. They came
IN on account of the high living preva-
fent hundred years ago. This produced a
good deal of govt. whose twinges the tight
hitting costume In use at that period made
nnhearable. Hence the invention of the
,Ticer form Of garment. which soon became
popular and was adopted by many royal
4'ersonages at home and abroad. Among
fhe handles OF the period however the
new style was regarded with contempt and
when Aimack's was at its height as a FASH
,ionable resort the great Duke of yelling
ton himself was once refused admission be-
cause he presented himself In trousers in

Horror Of being buried alive Is common

SUMMER CLOTHING.
Its Selection Should Be a Matter Of Ex-

From American Medicine.

From American Medicine.
The selection OF summer clothing Is a
matter of considerable Importance not only
from the influence 1t may have in comfort,
but also In promoting health. Yet this Is
matter to which most people give compare
lively little attention, and the question Of
style and appearance Is certainly more con-
sidered than the effect on health. From the
hygienic standpoint we are concerned with
the questions of what form and quality Of
clothing will maintain the proper body
temperature, protect from changes OF tenn
perature and absorb the sweat with the
excretory products contained In It, In both
summer and winter, a general rule. too
much. too heavy and irrational clothing Is
worn by most people. This keeps the body
overwarm. and promotes free sweating,
thus the skin Is most of the time kept COW

The Carp Nuisknce.
From Outing.


An influence that seems to have a very
material eject upon the bass fishing In
Lake Erie Is that of the German carp. 1t
Is very generally believed among sportsmen
and fishermen alike that the carp is to our
birds. No one accuses the carp of having
sumctent enterprise to eat other fsh-even
small fry--but 1t roots among the spawning
beds and Is believed to devour eggs by the
stories of his spawn eating would be hard
to say, but it Is certain that carp are to be
found by thousands all about the great
lakes. Some of them are monsters in size
ana all root about the banks OF bay and
bayou and the bottom Of every shallow
place. Many small lakes have been entered
and their waters turned from crystal to
mud color by the roofing. There Is no
doubt that they disturb spawn beds and do
an immense amount OF harm, whether they
are egg lovers or not.
