A typical scene In Manchurian vii
1age is thus described by correspond
ent Of the London News:
"That afternoon we pulled up near
three shanties on a woodside, and a
gang of Chinese, all squabbling and
making noises like dogs growing over
bones, fought with one another to get
on platform where a boiler was
chained. There was a scuff1e. One
Chinese was pushed backward and
fell. His head hit the metal and
cracked like nut. He gave a wriggle
and died. The Russians who saw the
accident were affected. The Chinese
laughed. He lay for an hour in the
sun until / undid his sleeping rug and
spread 1t over his face. He was soor
forgotten. A Chinese threw some hot
water over a growing dog and made
It howl. At this there were shrieks Of
mirth.
"The engine puffed and groaned ant
jerked the wagons into progress. The
last / saw of this spot was two China
men pitching mud at the same dog Il
keep it from shifting at the body of tht
dead"

remnerament ana Exercise.

Careful tests and observations made
at the Yale psychological laboratory
have demonstrated the Importance of
studying individual temperament be-
fore prescribing a system of physical
exercise. A nervous temperament, for
example, requires a different treatment
from that required by a phlegmatic
temperament, without regard to the
physical condition of the subject.
The mental factors are more neces-
sary than the muscular in the develop
ment of strength. nervous person
should never be required to take heavy
exercise. A phlegmatic person, on the
contrary. requires 1t. The phlegmatic
temperament indicates reserve energy
in both muscles and nerve cells, while
the nervous temperament has less re-
serve power. but greater ability to use
the energy at Philadelphia Rec

No other member Of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially if its calf Is
harpooned The harpooner neverthrows
his harpoon into the little one with the
the intention of killing it, for If this is
done the mother will instantly forsake
It. If alive and struggling, however.
the dam can be easily entieed toward
the boat to meet its fate. Knowing
this, the whale fishermen always strike
calf If possible and thus often make
captures that could not be effected un.
der other circumstances.
AS soon as the dam becomes aware
of the sharing Of her young she rushea
toward it, encourages it to swim away
and even assists 1t by taking it under
her fin. She seems to lose all regard
for her own safety and boldly attacks
the boat containing the whalemen or
circles about 1t totally regardless of
the harpoons that are hurled at her and
enter her flesh.

There is fact about the French rev.
olution more wonderful In its way than
any which can be discovered In old
newspapers. 1t Is the fact, gathered
from private letters of the period. that
In those stirring times, when all the
world was ringing with the events in
Paris, there were actually people in
that city living in absolute ignorance
Of the horrors around them. There
was no reign of terror for them. They
lived veritable refuses In their quiet
suburban houses, hearing nothing,
reading nothing of the turmoil which
startled and terrified the nations. One
wonders much what manner of people
these oysterlike folks might be. Moth
ing sounds more incredible today. Yet
there are many things IN history not
half so well authenticated, though his
tory is curiously silent on 50 strange a
circumstance.

French Bread Laws.

The French baker is not only requir-
ed to conform to laws regarding
weight. but he is also told at what
price he must sell his bread. He is fur.

of money in the hands of the municipal
authorities as a surety Of good beha-

has to keep specified quantity of houl
on hand to provide for warlike emer-
gencies.
In Germany laws of similar import
are in existence and are enforced with
such severity that no baker ever
dreams of defying them.

Mr.. Chester points out that the or

The Credentials of IOwRs sena-
tors Presented.

Washington, March Sit is learned
at the department that the attitude
of Mr.. Leishman, the United States
minister to Turkey, is liable to be
misunderstood owing to the brevity
of the cable report that he has pre-
ferred a demand upon Turkey in the
case of Miss Stone. The understands
ing here is that any action in that
line that Mr.. Leishman may have tax
en- is rather in the line of saving all
future rights rather than the submls-
sion of an unqualified demand for the
punishment of the brigands and re-
payment of the indemnity given to
the brigands. The same sort OF a
cayeat either has been or will be
filed with the Bulgarian government
The legal effect of this action is SIM
ply to save all rights against either
of those governments or against both
of them pending the conclusion of the
exhaustive inquiry which the state de-
partment is making, through its min
lister and other agents, into MISS
Stones case. When that inquiry is
concluded it is expected that the de-
partment will be in position to
squarely place the responsibility for
the kidnapping, and when that has
been done no time will be lost IN
pressing the claim both for punish
ment Of the perpetrators of the out
rage and for the repayment of the
ransom. Meanwhile, acting under in
structions of the state department,
Mr.. Leishman will prefer no specific
claim against either Turkey or Bull
garia.

ton at the hands of the senate com
mittce on finance, and when the com
mittee adjourned members expressed
the opinion that the measure would
be favorably reported after one or

expected to the measure as whole,
but the time Of the meeting was given
over to discussion of the features
of the bill, and the probable effect Of
It's enactment into law upon fhe

Senator Aldrich, as chairman Of the

penditures and receipts of the coun-

hanged were Lawrence Dunlap, color
