Chinese Etiquette.

The polite Chinaman will always re-
fer to himself in deprecatory terms.
This trait of Chinese etiquette is aptly
expressed in one Of their own tales, in
which visitor is represented as call
ing in his best clothes and seated in
the reception room awaiting the ar
rival of his host A rat that had been
prying in a jar Of oil on a rafter above,
frightened at the intrusion of the call.
er, ran away and in SO doing upset the
oil jar, which fell on the visitor, satu-
rating his elegant robes with oil. Just
as the face of the guest was purple
with rage the hos entered, when the
proper salutationS were performed.
after which the guest proceeded to ex-
plain the situation. ''As 1 entered your
honorable apartment and seated my
self under your honorable beam | in
advertently terrified your honorable
rat, which fed and upset your honora-
BILE old jar upon my insignificant per-
son, which is the reason of my con-
temptible appearance in your honora-
BILE presence"

CAUTIONa

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur.
chase the only remedy universally known
and a remedy that has had the largest
sale Of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment of Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we
called your attention to Boschee's Ger
man Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps. but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The 25 cent size
has just been introduced this year.
Regular size rs cents. At all druggists.

The familiar term printers devil"
as applied to the boy Of all work about
a printing Office, is said by the Fourth
Estate to have originated with Aldus
Manutius. He employed small negro
boy, a curiosity in those days in Eu-
rope, who became known as the Lit
tie Black Devil" Printing was then a
mystery, and a superstition spread that
Aldus was invoking the black art and
that the negro boy was the embodi-
ment of Satan. To correct this opinion
Aldus publicly exhibited the black boy
and declared: "Be it known to Venice
that l, Aldus Manutius, printer to the
holy church and to the doge, have this
day made public Exposure Of the print
ers devil All those who think he is
not flesh and ..ood may come and
pinch him."

VIRGINIA SWALLOWWORT.
Its Beautiful Blossoms Are Pitfalls

For Bees and Bugs.
Honey bees and insects and bugs of
less degree find pitfalls and often death
IN the beautiful blossoms of the milk
weed. otherwise known as the Virginia
swallowwort If these flowers are ex-
amlned any sunny day, one will be
pretty sure to find them decorated with
miscellaneous assortment of strug-

fast in the Sits Of the peculiar bios
SONS. The pollen of this common plant,
instead of being q powder. as in the
case. OF most plants, consists of sticky.
WaXen masses hidden within the bios
som. When visiting insect thrusts
proboScis or leg into the opening OF
such 4 flower, some of these masses
stick to it, and the natural course is for
the insect to fay off to another flower
and fertilize this with the adhering pol
len. All insects, however, are not strong
enough to eXtricate their legs from the
sticky places, and then ensues the slow
torture of hanging there until death or
helping hand releases them from mis-
cry. Besides being beautiful, it could
be quite a useful plant if we cared to
develop it's virtues. Thus it's milky

ar has been made from the flowers.
The silky hairs of the seeds are serv-
iceable in the manufacture of textile
fabrics, as cotton is, and fiber OF
good quality for ropemaking may be
extracted from the stalk.

Chased and Refined,

At recent police court sitting a man
was fined 40 shillings and costs for as
saulting a policeman. Considering him
self much injured man, on reaching
the door he began abusing the magis-
trate in very violent language. The
magistrate sent an officer after him,
and the delinquent found himself once
more in the dock and fined again for
contempt of court
my man, if you had been more
chaste and refined in your language, -
said the magistrate, you would not
have been chased and re-fined."-Lon-

A Precedent Established

A Methodist clergyman in the upper
portion Of the city encountered q Celt
one recent rainy Sunday standing close
to the wall Of the church in an effort
to utilize the coping as a shield from
the storm.
"COme inside" said the clergyman
cheerily. You'll be out of the wet,
and you can have seat while you're
waiting for it to clear"
"No, thank yez," said the Celt EN-
phatically. "Oi'll not go inta tn house

"Well, that's rather harsh" answered

THE FASTING FAD.
There Is No Advantage to BE Gained
From Going Hungry.

UOlHS
We are living in an age of fads. re-
marks Good Health, and as it's opinion
has been solicited in regard to the
fasting fad'' it proceeds to give it as
follows:
There is no particular advantage to
be gained from going hungry. Hunger
is the voice Of nature telling US that
the system needs food and. like all OF
natures warnings, should be needed.
To be sure. Il great many. we might
much as we'll as too often. But the
entire abstinence from food is an ex-
ceptiOnal remedy if it is used at all.
In cases where ones stomach is filled
with germs it is far better to fast than
to go on eating in the usual way, but
even then it is not necessary, for one
can get all the benefits of fasting and
more without discomfort by subsisting
for time upon q fruit diet. In this
way the germs are starved out, the
fruit juice acting as a disinfectant.
Usually one or two days of this kind
of fasting is all that is needed, and
it is not always necessary to use the
fruit entirely alone even then. Some
dry sterilized bread, such as zwieback
or granose. may be taken with it with
out interfering with the purpose of the
fast. 1t is really wonderful what can
be accomplished by the use of fruit in
Kidding the digestive tract of germs.
