THE TARTAR CUE.
Said - he Worn Ont Of Gratitude
to the Horse.

10 tne ttOEoes
Herbert Allen Giles in 'China and
the Chinese says that there are
strange misconceptions as to the mean
ing of the Chinese cue. which has
really been worn by that nation for
only about $50 years.
1t was imposed by the MantchOO Tar
tars, the present rulers of China, as n
badge of conquest. Previous to 1644
the Chinese clothed themselves and
dressed their hair like the modern Jap
ancse-that is, like the japanese who
still wear what is incorrectly known
as the beautiful native dress Of ia
pam" AS a matter of fact. the Japan
csc borrowed their dress as well as
their literature. philosophy and early
art from the Chinese. The Japanese
dress is that of the Ming period in
China. 1868 to 1914.
But where did the MantchoO Tar
tars get the cue: They depended as a
race almost for their existence upon
the horse. The accepted theory is that
out of gratitude and respect for his
noble ally the Tartar, so far as he
could, took On himself the equine form
and grew Il cue in imitation of a
horses tail. This somewhat %grotesque
theory might fall to the ground save
that it is supported by striking evil
dence.
Official coats as seer in China ut the
present day are made with peculiar
sleeves, shaped like n horses leg and
ending in an unmistakable hoof. COW
ering the hand. which are known as
horseshoe sleeves Incased therein
a Chinaman's arms look much like Il
horses fore legs. The tail completes
the picture.

A certain congressman was very busy
at his desk in the house one morning
when a page announced, "A gentleman
in the lobby to see you, sir" Tell him
I'm not in my seat" said the congress-
man after looking at the card. The
boy, a sturdy looking chap, did not
move. But you are in your seat, SIR"
he answered in matter of fact tones,
land l can't say you are not" The
congressman looked at the lad angrily,
but, seeing that he was in earnest,
moved into the vacant chair Of his
neighbor. Now tell him I'm not in my
seat" Yes, SIR" said the boy briskly
and went to deliver the message.

Seeing Snakes.

Persons suffering from delirium tire.
mems usually imagine that they are
surrounded by snakes. An explanation
of this hallucination, says the Family
Doctor, is offered by the result of some
recent experiments. Sixteen alcoholic
patients were examined with the oph-
kaleidoscope, and it was found that the
minute blood vessels in the retina OF
their eyes were %cOngested. In this con-
ditiOn they appear black and are pro.
jected into the field Of vision, where
their movements resemble the sQuirm.

The majority Of men recognize moth
ing in human affairs as good unless It
yields some return, and they love those
friends mOst-as they do their cattle
from whom they hope to obtain the
most profit. Thus they lack that lowell

which is sought for it's own sake only,
nor do they know from experience how
beautiful and how lofty such friend

A very handsome species of snake is

its name suggests, horns on it's nose.

very thick in body. with a bulldOglike

EUROPEAN ALLIES HAVE NOT
YET REPLIED TO MINISTER
eoWEN's OFFER.
AMERICAN DIPLOMAT FIRM
Should the Powers Persist in Asking
Preferential Treatment Of Their
Claims Against Venezuela, Mr..
Bowen Will Call Together the Other
Creditor Nations With q View to
Their Making a Protest.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The Euro
rean allies have not yet answered Min
lister Bowen's proposition, made sew
eral days ago, that there shall be no
preference of claims of Great Britain.
Germany and Italy against Venezuela.
over those of other nations against the
South American country.
Minister Bowen thinks the delay
should be construed in a hopeful light.
on the ground that the delay in the
answer of the powers indicates that
they realize the Importance OF his posi-
ton in the matter and are giving the
subject careful consideration. He still
expects a favorable reply to his con
tention and believes that the questions
at issue will be settled at Washington
between himself, acting for the gov
eminent Of Venezuela, and the repre-
sentatives of the powers. 1t was re-
ported that an answer to Mr.. Bowen's
demand had been received in Washing
ton, but the report cannot be con-
1irmed officially. and the answer. II re-
ceived, was not transmitted to Mr..
Bowen. IL the answer did arrive, the
suspicion is that it was ~unfavOrable to
Mr.. Bowen's contention. and, in view
of his positive attitude in the matter,
was not presented to him but was
withheld by the representatives Of the
allies II order that they might again
impress upon their governments the
importance OF the question before sub
hitting a final answer. 1t became
known during the day that Mr.. Bowen
had addressed to the representatives
OF the allies what in a measure might
be regarded as an ultimatum as de-
filming his position. Mr.. Bowen de-
clines absolutely to discuss the ques-
ton, but it is known that he said to
the allies that if they persisted in
their determination to receive prefer
entail treatment in the matter of the
settlement Of the claims, he would call
together the other creditor nations hav-
ing claims against Venezuela with a
view to their making a formal protest
against the demands OF those who par
ticipated in the blockade. The effect
of this would be that the other seven
creditor nations would be lined up
against the three allied powers. with
the result that the settlement of the
whole matter in all probability might
60 to The Hague, if it is to be settled
at all. This note is believed to be hav-
ing its effect in staying the final de-
termination of the question by the al
lied governments.
