There is little likelihood that our
Democratic friends in Congress
will bc able to involve the Repub-
)icaus in tariff fight, ss the latter
with few exceptions, are opposed
to meddling with a policy which
must be admitted as being the very
foundation of our groat national
prosperity. Whatever tariff leg
islation is enacted at the present
session of Congress, il there be
any at all, will DO in the direction
of reciprocal trade relations with
such countries pro luciuR what the
United States does not produce.
The Democrats in trying to open
tariff fight allegc that they only
wish to reach tho trusts, bnt rs
that party has ever fought the pol
icy Of protection, openly aud un-
der cover. we may assume that it
has not changed its spots to battle
with the trusts with free trade.

"Many compasses are carried in nick

open compasses are carried for a charm
on watch guards.
"In the cheaper pocket compasses the
needle turns on brass bearing; In tho
costlier compasses on a bearing OF
agate. In either, of course, the needle
will point north, but the compass with
the agate bearing will wear much lon
ger.
"a good pocket compass will last q
lifetime. A considerable part of the
cost Of the more expensive pocket COM
passes may be due to the material used
In them and to elaborateness Of finish.
"a ten dollar compass, for instance,
might have a pearl face, and so on, but
a good compass, with an agate bear

every wise sportsman carries a

The public little realizes that behind

Everything has to be most skillfully

the expense of doing it on an appropl1'
ate scale was figured out, 1t was found
that the curtain would rise on an eX.

he has little model, an exact minia-

is to be set up. Here on reduced
scale he prepares models of the scenes
which his painters are to project on an
enormously enlarged scale upon the
canvas which hangs by the paint
bridge When he has modelled his scene,
he calls in the costumer and the stage
manager. Scenic artist and costumcr
usually have put their heads together
before getting to work and decided up
on certain color schemes for the varl-
GUS scenes, but just that very morning
the costumer may have seen a stunning
bit of red which he wants to introduce
into his scheme, and so he tries to per-
suade the scenic artist to change the
coloring little accordingly.-Cosmo-

One of the late beliefs Of the med
ical profession Is that many people
die each year while asleep from heart
disease that is brought on by night
mares or bad dreams. A specialist on
the heart said recently that in his
opinion in nine cases out Of ten Of
deaths in bed heart action was stop
ped by fear which injurious dreams
brought on.
II have taken part in thousands Of
autopsies," said this expert, 'and In
many cases made study Of the hab-
its Of those who died. l found that
the majority had been sufferers from
Nightmares or other nocturnal dis

quently they woke up in the middle
Of the night completely exhausted and

frightened to death while awake when
they have their full senses and hope
for relief, why is 1t not doubly likely
that they die from fright while asleep
when their courage is dwarfed by fac
ulties temporarily affected?"

China's Antiquity.

China's antiquity is a part Of her CO.
lossal proportions. China's early writers
record a NEUROLOGICAL history covering
tens Of thousands Of years, but this
period ends with the establishment Of
the capital Of the empire at Kaifungfu
in the thirty-frst century b. c. Her
legendary history extends from this
time to 2205 B. c., at which time, 1t
may be said, China's real history be-
gins. The ancient history Of China ex-
tends from 2205 B. c. to 29S B. G. Her
medieval history begins there and ex-
tends to the time of the Mongol con.
quests In 1915 A. d.
With the founding Of the Mongol dy.
nasty China's modern history begins.
The Mongols were driven out by the
Mngs in 1868 A. d. The Mings were
the last native dynasty that ruled over
China, and their control lasted from
1868 to 1914. Under the title Of the Ia
