HIM to speak, but when Toy bent low
to catch his last word, she heard, not a
loving farewell, but her fathers name.
"Chew Bang dld'lt,"'h faltered, be-
cause ea-e ga ~. #t..4 A
Toy understood only too well, and
waved the bystanders back INTO n
wider circle so there might be no posi-
bllity Of his words being overheard
"Who did itT several asked, seeing
Kee could still speak; task him before
1t is too lateW
Toy turned toward the crowd. surglng
closer about her, and read their purpose
In their faces. Then she glanced at the
man on the ground, whose eyes still
looked into hers with the meaning
that had first stirred the revolt in her
heart against the colorless life enforced
upon her by Oriental custom and her
fathers severity. But mingled with that
other look was an appeal to her for ven
geance, for to die with his blood una
venged is, to a Confucian, worse than
for a Christian to die unsbfiven. And
again she heard the name of her father
repeated in a whisper as his murderer.
The nearest bystanders began to call
TO Kee himself for the name of his as
sassln. Toy raised her head to answer
them, but suddenly she found that. un-
der this test, she was not merely Toy,
the emancipated, but the product Of
countless ancestor-worshiping genera

Fundamental tenet.
"The American doctor Is coming"
she presently heard one Of her country.
men say, and instantly the thought
flashed through her mind: Could he,
by care and skill, take out the knife
and stanch the blood so Kee might
live? If this were possible, then was
her emancipation sure, for Bang would
be in their power, and all opposition
ended. Yes, ended, because her faith
er's old age would 90 down In disgrace,
possibly Imprisonment Here, how
ever, the dominating forces Of centuries
again surged in upon her and her new
" acquired spirit Of independence was
not strong enough to stem the on
slaught.
Again Toy bent low over the victim
Of her fathers wrath and her own
rashness. Even the fast-falling stupor
could not dim the agony Of appeal in
his eyes. This time she did not see it.
In another instant the surgeon would
be here and have her secret.
Throwing herself upon Kee, as If In
q paroxysm Of grief, she drew out the
incrminating knife so that blood
gushed from the wound, making
further speech impossible, and deftly
concealed it in the flowing sleeves Of
her blouse
As Kee fell back lifeless. Toy strug-
gled to her little crippled feet,
"He's already dead" said the physl-
clan when he reached KEGS side. "Who
stabbed him"
"Me no sabee,' Toy faltered, and
meekly allowed herself to be led away
to the balcony behind the iron grating.

THE EFFECT OF TOBACCO.

The subject of tobacco is neces-
sarily included in this chapter
Like all elements which have an
effect upon the nerves, it differs
widely in its action upon different
individuals, and no sweeping
statements can be made, says DR..
Crandali in the Worlds Works.
Upon most constitutions its ac.
ton is deleterious. 1t is always
Injurious before the period of
complete development, and can
not be used before the age of 20
without harm. Dr.. Seaver, Di.
rector Of the Physical Laboratory
at Yale, tabulated the record of
the students entering that uni
versity during nine years, when
all the young men were examined
and measured. The smokers
averaged fifteen months older
than the non.smokers. They
were also shorter in stature. Nico
tine interferes with growth, and
its effect in that regard is very
measurable. At Yale during the
four years course the non.users
of tobacco, although taller when
they enter, gain "a per cent more
in height and 26.7 per. cent. more
in girth of chest than do the habit
ual user. DR.. Hitchcock, of Am
herst College, found even greater
differences. The lung capacity is
very striking in the two classes,
and has been noticed by all OBJ
servers. 1t shows the effect OF
tobacco on the respiration, nico'
tine being a potent depressor.- -
AS regards the effect of nicotine
on the mental processes, 1t is
more difficult TO interpret the
meaning of statistics.
Out of the highest scholarship
men at Yale only5 per cent. use
tobacco, while of the mon who dc
not get appointments copper cent
use 1t. 1t is not necessary to 10
terpret this as meaning that
mental decrepitude follows the
use OF tobacco by young men, for
there are other factors to be con.
sldered; but it is certainly not
conducive to the best work.

The Sphinx Needs an umbre liza.

Venice has lost her famous campa-
nile, and now Egypt has good cause
to tromble for her sphinx-at least
so says a distinguished European
Egyptologist who examined this an
cient monument recently.
1t is slowly wasting away, he
says, and the sole cause is because
too much rain has recently descend
ed on it. Each year, he points out,
there are terrible showers OF rain in
Egypt, which are followed by fierce
tempests, and as a result the sphinx,
which has stood for centuries, is
now being slowly, but surely. de-
stroyed. the stone Of which it is
fashioned being no longer able to
resist the periodical onslaughts Of
the weather.
As the only ellicacious remedy he
suggests that an immense umbrella
be placed over the monument, as
thus the rain could be warded off,
and that some method be also de-
vised to protect it against the sand
which envelops it during tempests.

is SOCIETY WORSE rhAN 1T WAS 2

If the question be asked, says
Nineteeth Century and After, as
society now better than it was a
hundred years ago 2" the frc-
queut answer, hastily and cheer
fully given, is, Eyes, undoubted-
ly, for people are more sober,
more refined, and no longer
swear" This is true to a certain
extent, but when we consider how
much more educated, refined and
sober the whole nation has be-
come, and what vast strides have
been made in science and all
kinds of knowledge, then in COM
parison society seems to have
made little, if any, progress
There may be now as many wise,
charming and brilliantly clever
people as there were then, but
they have not increased in num-
Der, though society has. n
Certainly among men it is no
longer thought a fine thing to
drink too much. Insobriety hap
pens very seldom, and when it
does, is considered a Disgrace
But women drink more than they
did fifty years ago, not only wine
but spirits and liquors. 4 y Per.
haps the now common practice of
smoking cigarettes habitually
may tend to increase this evil
Then the taking of drugs seems
much more common. There is a
greater impatience at the least
pain. A slight headache, often
caused only by racking about af.
ter too many pleasures, is made
an excuse for taking antipyrine,
or some other soothing medicine,
With results disastrous to heart
and nerves. AS TO manners, it is
curious to observe how far less
they have improved in society
then among those from whom
good manners at least expected.
Except in the case of panic, it
vas less dlsagreeable to be in a
common crowd at the entrance of
an exhibition or threttre than in
a large drawing room at the pal
ace before the new regulations
were made. 4 4 q Good man
ners are often to be met in a bus
or a third class railway carriage
There you are welcomed with
kind hands stretched out to lift
your bird-cage or bandbox. 1t
is surprisingly rare to meet with
common civility in a first class
carriage.

SAW A BATTLE.

Champ Clark's first glimpse of
an army was at Mackville, Ky,
near his boyhOod home, says a

one had charged him to take a
bunch of fine horses to neigh.

just what was going to happen.
suddenly out rode seven
horsemen, who began firing

thing as | ever witnessed. When

LIVE IN .raeus.

Near Paris is a remarkable vii.
lage, the inhabitants of winch spend
their lives in the treetops. If YOU
look for lhs curious spot on The
MAJ, you will find it spelled .Sceaux,
though it is perhaps better known
among the Parisians as "1.e Vrai
Arbrc de Robinson"
1t appears that some fifty years
ago NJ. Guescenin conceived the idea
CT building restaurant in the tree
tops. He owned land at Sceaux in
which stood a grand old tree. In
the branches Of this forest patri-
arch he erected small dining rooms,
which were reached by rustic stair
cases. The view to be obtained from
these leafy heights is unique.
To celebrate the unconventional
delights of fcasts taken perched
among the branches NJ. Guescenin
called his tree "Robinson,' drop
ping the Crusoe. The fame Of the
tree and it's dining rooms spread.
All social, literary, artistic Paris
made it point to breakfast or dine
among the rustling leaves.
lsnitators soon appeared on the
scene, and today Sceaux is nothing
less than a village built in treetops.
There are over a score Of trees with
Spacious dlnIng rooms, many also
bcasting Of sleeping and living
apartments, ingeniously constructed
on the stout branches Of the trees.
The tallest tree may be likencd to a
three story dwelling. 1t has three
distinct rooms, built one above the
other.

Old Walnut Stumps Valuable.

Old walnut stumps are on boom
throughout Tennessee. Stumps that
have remained nnoticed for years
and were regarded as worthless are
now eagerly sought after at prices
that seem almost fabulous. One
Indiana concern has had men trav-
cling over the country buying every
old walnut stump that could be
found, At first the prices paid
were small, but as the eyes of the
stick timber folks began to open the
prices went higher and higher until
now they are out of sight, and the
funny part about it is that the ug-
lier, knottier and more unsightly
the stump the more money it will
bring. The stump of a walnut tree
that was cut down several years ago
brought more than the whole of the
tree. 1t is stated that the stumps
are made into veneering material
and used in the manufacture of
high grade furniture.
