my attention with considerable delight was
a Chinese calling card. which had been left
by high-class Chinaman who had visited
them few days before.
1t was on red paper. about 5 inches in
length by in width. and printed with large
Chinese letters. My friends took some pride
In 1t. and 1t occupied a prominent place in
their collection of curios.
ATTEMPT AT INSULT.
Il startled them by picking it I'D and saw
ing: Did that fellow have the nerve to
leave this thing here?'
80 Why. what's the matter with it?' they
asked
My friend occupied a Government posi-
tion. so the matter had real Importance to
him. and l explained that the large visiting
card was simply studied attempt at in
suit. 1t was intended by its size to ex-
press 70 him how much greater the China
man considered himself.
Well. don't care what the fool thinks"
said my friend
But in China you must I replied. IF
you accept that Chinaman's iusoent esti-
nation Of you You will have lost caste for
ever in your future dealings with him and
every one. Cinnamon, and perhaps foreign
rivals as well, will not hesitate to attempt
to take advantage of you.
AZ the same time you have a splendid
opportunity to assert yourself at once ard
establish yourself in a position Of CORE
spending superiority
q" How can that be DONE he asked, 'ex-
cept by refusing to return his callT
e No. said. you must do that, for there
is your opportunity. You must call on him
and leave him your own card on a much
bigger slip than he left you. and printed
with much bigger characters
That will finish him completely. Absurd
as these little things are. they mean great
deal in China, and by taking this fellow
down you will elevate yourself in his eyes
and In the eyes Of every other Chinaman
who may know anything about it,
Il once went to call on Chinaman who
thought he was dealing with an ignorant

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS
-IN BIRD EHYlPNOTISM.

| table. with its head and neck extended A
chalk mark is then drawn from its bill to a
point beyond in a straight line from the
chicken. The bird sees the white line and
when you remove your hands from it. IT
will not struggle to rise. One explanation is
that the poor chick thinks 1t is tied with a
white string and could not move II it were
TO try. so IL does not try.
Doctor Beebe Is of a different opinion. He
believes the bird has been truly hypnotized
and explains the phenomenon in this way:
When you handle the Gutter YOU cause a
'peripheral stimulus OF the nerves. and the
result upon the brain is the same az that
produced by a bright light flashed upon the
eye. He believes that i crude state of hyp-
notism exists.
Every country boy knows what a curious
effect bright light will have upon a frog.
Along the rivers and creeks the village folks
catch them by the thousands every year,
and all they use is a torch and a bag. One
boy will walk along the waters edge with
the light close to the ground and another
will keep pace beside him watching for the
light to show UP the frog sitting high and
dry upon a stone.
No matter how much noise in splashing
or In talking the boys make, the frog will
sit staring at the light until he is picked up
by the bare hands of the boy. Even then
he Will not kick or struggle to regain his
lost liberty until he Is removed from the
influence Of the bright light. 1t is simply
3 case OF hypnotism.
BIRDS EASILY INFLUENCED.
But although frogs are thus easily affect
ed. according 10 Doctor Beebe, birds arc
much more readily influenced. Their nerves
are more high strung and their life is in
tense and reflective Of outside influence. In
his experiments the curator used both hyp-
motto influence and mesmeric. In other
words he used the blilliant object like a
white light or a red rag and he also used
his own eye. He had no satisfactory results
from the white light and red rag process.
except to cast his birds into sound sleep.
When they woke w they did SO with ter

further with the bird and the experiment
was at an end
Better results Were obtained by mesmer-
ism. He appealed to the birds minds
through his own and brought them under
ms influence by looking at them steadily
lie says that to do 1t he had to force his
own mentality down nearer the level of the
birds. because his mind worked against
them and obtruded so much that his pa
tients became terrified. This process he
called partly mesmeriZing himself" In
that condition he was able to force an idea,
a wish to do something which he orders.
upon the birds. thus proving that at least
mental te!epathy was possible between bird
and man.
The theory is not entirely new, although
IT is novel. So far as birds are concerned
IL is new. but T. J. Hudson and many men
whose life study It has been to train horses
say that there is a similar process Of mes
II erism used in regard to horses and other
animals
COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAT.
Birds. Doctor Beebe discovered. differ in
remarkable degree in the susceptibility to
suggestion. For instance. a catbird. after
half hours effort to bring 1t under control,
refused to give in. while a large saw-whit
owl became sleepy after effort of FIVE
minutes He became so drowsy that he
could hardly keep his place on the perch. SO

under the influence at once. When the birds
awakened the after-efrects wero note
worthy. Although apparently as wide
awake and active as before they were re-
markably tame and did not fly away when
he thrust his fingers at them. II he took
them into his hand they pecked n little
frettully. and when released perched on the
cage and proceeded TO arrange their plu-
mage Before they were hypnotizec they
would never have allowed such familiarity
and would have been thrown into a spasm
of fright at the first advance. They would
not notice their companions in their cage
at first. but followed their master about,
coming close to the wire Of the cage. as If
they loved him.
The doctor claims that they are euscepti-
bic to the influence. because birds have a
highly developed Intellectual and emotional
character In the first place. birds have
memories. A pigeon is said to
have remembered a person after months,
and bullhnch knew its masters voice

WILES OF STUDIOUSLY
POLITE CHINAMEN.
Ia Macs of County, Etiquette They Often
Humiliate Foreigners Who Chaucs
to Visit Their Country.

Beware OF the Chinaman when he is
polite.
That IS the warning which travellers bring
from the East. He will not do you bodily
harm.
He will leave you under the impression
that he is affable. courteous. and good-na-
turedly disnified. but beware.
In the mazes of his courtly etiquette he Is
probably planning and carrying out some
studied secret insult
Only In China would this be effective II
the method Of secret insult were tried in
any European or Western country it would
have no effect For that reason 1t would
not be tried.
In China. however. the polite Chinaman
by the secret insult humiliates the foreigner
In the eyes OF all other Cinnamon. The
standing Of the person thus insulted is low
cred and he Is done permanent injury
1t Is asserted that one Of the chief trials
OF foreign diplomats, in China Is to under
stand and to defend themselves against tho
various forms of the secret insult
A man who had conducted mercantile az
fairs in China for some years and who Is
familiar with the Oriental characteristics
illustrates these attempts at humiliation az
follows:

Shanghai some time ago." he said. They
