Getting Even with the Chinese.

Some years ago, when Chinese OPP
preston was intolerable, American
merchants had the alternative Of wear
ing the Chinese costume and shaving
their heads or leaving the country. A
number of Americans, in order to pro-
tect their interests, adopted the dress
of the land. Capt. B. H. McCalla. of the
American navy, serving his country in
Chinese waters at that time, ncoun
tered one Of these transformed Ameri-
cans.
Had to do it?'' said one of the trans
formed Americans, pointing to his head
and queue.
81 presume conditions warrant this
sacrifice Of your Americanism?" said
the captain, scornfully.
LET me tell you," said the Ameri-
can-Chinese, drawing closer to the
captain, "the Chinese make me wear a
pigtail, but in return I make quite a
few Chinese taels myself"

vantage of this offer. Mr.. G. A. Sexton
does not know how long he will DO able

sale has been something phenomenal,
sometimes being obliged to order sup
plies two or three times a week.
AS the doses diminished after the first
few days. 4 bottle, that you can obtain
now for 25eents, will generally last a
month. And it costs you nothing if it
docs not cure you.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-The marriage

him so happy that he wants the many
thousand employees of the United

DOGS BLOW THE BELLOWS.
blacksmith I'm New York Adopts Novel
Lab~or-SaviEg Device Intelli-
gent Animals mt Work.

On an uptown street on the East
side of the city, says the New York Mail
and Express, hundreds of people daily
pause at a blacksmith's shop to watch
three large and intelligent Newfound-
land dogs, which are employed by the
brawny smith to work the bellows OF the
Jorge of his shop. In one corner OF the
shop Is a wooden wheel about eight feet
n diameter and wide enough for a dog
to stand in. When the wheel is at rest
The dog stands in much the same posi-
ton as the horse III a child's rocker,
with his head always turned toward the
forge awaiting orders. When told to
go ahead" the beast on duty al once
starts on a brisk trot, which makes the
wheel turn around rapidly and by NEAR
Of a crank and lever the power is con-
veyed to the bellows.
The dogs work willingly and with such
intelligence that people are never weary
Of watching the efforts Of the animals
TO keep the smithy fires bright. Each
dog works In the wheel for one hour and
then rests for two. They cost their
owner about two dollars a week each to
teed, and he estimates that they save
him $l2 a week, as otherwise it would
require the services, of two men or a
small engine to do their work.

CHILDREN WITH MONEY.
American Parents Arc Too Careless
About the Way the Young
Folks Spend 1t.

By courtesy of the authorities a GER
tain club of women recently questioned
the 600 children in a city grammar school
about the money earned by them or
given to them, and the uses they make Of
it. The children were of both sexes, rep
resented both native and immigrant
%parentage, ranged in age from nine to
fifteen years, and belonged to the class
10 which the average citizen belongs,
that Of the Comfortably poor" says
Youths Companion.
All of these children but one boy
who may have been a humorist-admit-
ted that they frequently had money to
spend or to save. Fewer than one-third
received an allowance. Five-sixths
earned more or less money. Two-thirds
said that they generally got money in
for it,"
Easy come, easy go. The money thus
carelessly given was as carelessly
spent, most of it for candy. Not half
the children were advised by their
parents what to do with their niclejs
and dimes. In this respect American
parents made the worst showing of all.
Theirs will be the blame If, 20 years
hence, their children are living from
hand TO mouth when children of the i'm
migrants are buying real estate.
To give a son or daughter a regular al
.lowance is a wise measure, but that is
only the beginning Of wisdom. He or
she should be taught to get the worth
of money spent, and eXhorted, too, not
to spend all. Most Americans dislike
to seem parsimonious, and therefore
neglect to talk over financial matters
with their children. Their German and
italian neighbors are not so afraid of
intoxicating thrift and forethought.
Would that the native could grasp the
truth they act upon, that a spendthrift
Is as foolish a creature as a miser!
