Queer Customs of Chinese.

In China liquids are sold by weight
and grain by measure. John buys soup
by the pound and cloth by the foot. A
Chinaman never puts his name outside
Of his shop, but paints inside Il motto.
or list of his goods on his vertical
signboard. Some reassuring remark is
frequently added, such as "One word
hail." "A child two feet high would
not be cheated"
Every single article has to be bar
gained for, and it is usual for the Gus
toner to take his own measure and
scales with him. A strong man has
difficulty in carrying on his back two

is necessary to take a servant to carry

Can't Always Tell by Expression What

''Fish are a good deal like people,
said Superintendent Spencer. Of the
New York aquarium. "You can't al.
ways tell by their countenances what
to expect of them. Look at that fellow
there. now!"
He pointed to a tiger fish which was
butting it's nose against the glass Of its
tank. No more villainous face of the
pugnacious sort could be found In a
days search in the haunts of third-rate
pugilists.
.'Looks az II he would fight at the
wriggle of a fin, doesn't he?" the SUI
perintendent continued. "See those

and If you gave it chance 1t would

vicious fish, and doesn't deserve all
those fine airs 1t has"
Mr.. Spencer put his hand near the
glass front of the tank, says the New
York Mail and Express. There was an
instant commotion; the insinuating tail
dashed the water and that angelic
mouth bumped sharply against the bar
rier in swift effort to nip the tip of

MAKING OF TROUT FLIES.
Mouse Whiskers and Bears Eyebrows
Are Used.


Are Used.
There are trout and salmon-fishers
who pay several thousand dollars
year for their lilies" alone. Few per-
sons can learn to tie artificial tiies.-
knotting hairs that can hardly be seen
so the skilled fly-maker commands
high wages. The materials cost money,
too. says the Maine Sportsman. The
earth is ransacked for feathers and
hairs. and one hair wrong makes "all
the difference"
The business done in mouse whiskers
is considerable this year. for they are
used in the making Of wonderful
new fly. the new gray gnat," and they
are expensive-nearly two cents a
whisker. Trout rise very much better
at mouse-whisker flies than at the
same "gnat" dressed in jungle-cOck
hackles. which look very much like
them.
Bears eyebrows. being stiff and ex-
actly the right shade. are used in a
newly invented fly that is killing guam
|
brows come from the Himalayan
brown bear and cost about one dollar
and half set.
There are agents all over the world
searching tropical forests for the right
birds to supply fly hackles. One Of
the most sought-aft skins is that Of
the rare green screamer," an African
bird about the size Of a hen, which has
a tiny bunch of feathers on each shout
der that is worth fifteen dollars a
bunch to the fiymaker. One Of these
birds supplies only feathers enough to
make rings for half dozen flies.
These is no limit to the enthusiasm of
an artistic fy-tier, who will use hair
from his own eyelashes to finish off
an extra special" fly. Babies hair
is much sought after, If 1t is of the
right shade-golden yellow-for all the
lighter salmon flies. and one curl will
make a dozen first-class flies.
1t takes an expert only fifteen min.
utes to turn out fly. which consists
of tiny hook. with wings Of Egyp'
tan dove feather. legs Of fox hair, and
body of mouse fur, wound round with
a thread Of yellow silk. A carelessly
made fly will have neither legs moi
''feelers." but the true expert adds the
legs and puts on a pair Of long ''feel'
ers" of cat hair. white at the tips. All
these tiny details will be exactly In
their places, and so firmly tied to the
hook that the fly will take half dozen
strong fish and be none the worse.

A neglected cold lie frequently tie
cause of death.
It is more often, however, the cause
OF some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body
but what is liable to become seriously
deranged by . neglected cold. Diseas-
es of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result of a
neglected cold.
Hundreds Of dollars are spent on
doctors and medicines trying to cure
these diseases, but until the true cause
of them is discovered there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-
cine and constipation medicine is OF
no good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The 'catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any OF the
internal organs.

isfactory results from the use Of Peruna

A Wonderful Cupboard.


A Wonderful Cupboard.
Little Ruth had discontinued look
on her face. She sat by the open win
dow idly turning the leaves Of the
geography which she held in her hand.
"Oh, dear me-" sighed she.
The sigh was so deep and the little
girls face SO sober that Aunt Anne
glanced up from her work.
"What is the matter now?" inquired
aunty.
"Oh, I'm so tired of learning these
troublesome lessons, and every day
just when l want to have a good time
mamma will say, Now, Alice. 1t is
time for your lessons What's the
use Of studying SO much, aunty?"
Aunt Anne was silent moment, and
then she said to the little girl: Let
me answer your question by telling
you about curious cupboard which l
possess. 1t is not large, although it
contains numberless little shelves
which have the singular property of
expansion-that is. becoming larger
If you place things upon them; and,
strange to say, although SO small, it is
impossible to completely fill It,"
"Why. l never remember seeing it."
said Alice, now thoroughly interested.
You have seen the outside, as you
will find when l have finished telling
| you about it,"
How long have you had the cup
board. aunty?"
Ever since was born; and every
day for thirty-tive years l have been
putting something into It,"
"Why, 1t must be queer cupboard!'
said Alice, with a puzzled look on her
face.
Yes; and another strange thing
about it is that you can choose beauti-
full, useful articles or ugly, worthless
ones to fill 1t with. Now, If you had a
cupboard like this, which would you
place on its shelves?'
''Why. aunty, the pretty things, OF
course! l would never put anything
ugly into a cupboard Of mine, II l
could help It,"
well, Alice. although I think as you
do. yet sometimes grew careless, and
placed worthless articles ON its shelves.
And then. too. 1t is very difficult to re
move anything after you have firmly
placed it in position"
why, this Is the mosts curious cup
board ever heard OFF, exclaimed the
little girl. "H0w should like to
see it,
what II tell you that you are the
owner Of one yourself, Alice?" ..
'Surely you are joking, aunty."
mo, indeed. Can You not guess its
name? 1t Is our brain OF mind. It has
a place for everything, and IL we fill 1t
with the beautiful the good and the
true. we must commence when young
to lay treasures upon its shelves. Day
by day we add either good or bad to its
store. although we may not always be
conscious of what we are doing.
"Do you remember what you learned
at school the other day for a memory
gem?
For the thoughts you do not speak
Shine out In your cheeks and eyes.
There Is shelf for each of your
studies, and If you learn that lesson In
geography you will fill little more Of
the space for that particular study"
II understand now. aunty," said
Alice. when am studying will
remember that I am filling my cup
board with useful and beautiful
things. Companion.
