Hongkong, Jan. 4.-The activity
which is being shown in Chinese labor
circles in San Francisco is a reflex
Of what Ia going on in the ports on the
coast Of China. Speculation as to the
chances of re-enactment of the exclu.
sion law In the United States Is rife
among the coolie brokers, and the sen.
timent seems to be that the law will
not be re-enacted. Should that law
be allowed to lapse for any period they
would simply inundate the Pacific
Coast with coolies and cause a r,volu.
ton in the labor market of the United
States. The coolie class know well
from returned emigrants what fine
field America provides for them, and

THE ORIGINAL HABITAT OF MAN

Prof, Dychs Advances Theory That the
First Men Lived In the Arctic Regions.
Prof. Dyche of the University of
Kansas, recently gave an informal lee
ture at the University club at Kansas
City. His subject was ''The Original
Habitat of Man." and he advanced the
theory that the first men inhabited
the northern part of Greenland and
the territory surrounding the poles.
In his trip to the northern part of
Greenland Prof. Dyche found fossils
of the sequoia, or California redwood
tree. AS an illustration of the fight
of animals against advancing incle-
ment nature Prof. Dyche cited the
case Of the mammoth, which was at
first a heat-loving animal. Those
which refused to leave their northern
home gradually grew hair as a pro-
lection. When the environment be-
came too severe the species persisted.
Prof. Dyche drew conclusions from
the flight Of birds. He believes that
birds migrate north to breed, because
OF an instinct acquired by centuries of
returning to the original breeding
grounds in the north.

SOME ILLS OF LIFE
OUR MODERN CIVILIZATION HAS ITS
BAD FEATURES.
Yet the Men and Women OF the fres-
ent Day Are Physically superior TO
Their Aucestors-Evils In the Race
for Superiuous ealth.

Some features of civilized life are
not wholesome. 1t does not insure d
perfect digestion, which is the basis OF
good health. 1t is not healthful 10
breathe sewer gas in houses the
plumbing of which has been passed
by an inspector who receives Christ
mas gifts from the plumber. There
are many other conditions which are
not favorable to the best physical
health. However, in spite OF other
drawbacks and disadvantages, there is
every warrant to affirm hat has
the standard of health, strength n
agility been as high as it is to-day.
Though an indoor life is vicious in It's
influence, the men and women OF to-
day-and especially the women-are
capable of a greater physical endur-
ance than has ever been known be-
fore. The first and best proof OF this
is that at the age when our grand
sires and their danes took their
places in the chimney corner as capa-
BILE only of vegetable existence, the
men and women of to-day are at he'll
best, and, as DR.. Stevenson complains,
the grandmounerS are demanding the
right to run for public office, instead
of being content to knit stockings. A
believer in the physical superiority OF
the savage brought out the great
grandson of a famous Indian Splinter
to pit him against the white runners
of the colleges. Even after a syste-
matte training he vas beaten by anna
tours. His celebrated ancestor had
defeated every white runner here and
in England, but his record has been
surpassed long since.
Life in the open air is necessary to
the best heath, but there is no reason
why the modern conveniences should
be abandoned. On every hand are
proofs of the physical superiority of
the men and women of to-day over the
people of any other known period. The
rules of wholesome living are better
understood and are more generally OBJ
served. 1t needs only for men to re-
frain from business ~excesses, from dis
sipating their energies in the pursuit
of wealth, in order that they may find
life well worth living. The too fire.
quent suicide of successful business
men may be traced to their long and
absolute absorption in the work of
money-getting and the discovery that
it is profitless and unsatisfactory. The
realization of the fact that wealth
alone does not bring happiness comes
only after it is too late to effect a
change. The delusion that there is
no more satisfying purpose than the
accumulation of money is the chief OBJ
stacle in the way of mans happiness.

Cure Of Consumption.

Nearly every state and large city in
the country is making some movement
to aid in stamping out consumption.
Massachusetts has a weli-established
sanitarium at Rutland, in that state.
Vermont is considering a project of the
same kind. The New York legislature
has made two appropriations aggregat-
ing SIS, 900 for the construction of a
consumptives' sanitarium in the Adj
rondack region. The New Jersey leg
islature at its recent session voted $780,
600 for a similar purpose. The ap-
preparation of 500, 900 by the Pennsyl-
vania legislature in 1901 in aid of the
White Haven sanitarium places this
state by the side of other common
wealths in the fight against consump-
tion. DR.. Rothrock's scheme to use the
state forest reservations for the same
purpose will doubtless realize good re-
suits in time. His knowledge on the
subject is valuable, as he is the state
commissioner of forestry.
That great good work ian be accom-
plished by country sanitariums for the
open and pure air treatment, especially
in pine forests, has been demonstrated.
At Rutland, in Massachusetts,, the per-
centage of cured patients has steadily
risen. In the first year 81 per cent of
all cases of the disease in all its stages
were cured; in the second year As per
cent, and in the third year so per cent.
The record of other sanitariums will
probably show as good results.-Pitts-
burg Post.
