Few persons are aware that the Chi-
nese language is dependent on intona,
ton for its meaning and that slight
difference in sound may so distort n
persons meaning that courteous salu-
tation may be turned into a cause for
regret.
A young woman in San Francisco,
who had become interested in the Chi
nese there, went to one Of the men
who owned a paper in which he wrote
both Chinese and English editorials,
and asked him TO teach her some
phrases. When told that the language
consisted of something like q small
library or two OF reference books, she
was about ready to back out. How
ever, being anxious TO learn even few
things about the mysterious people, she
undertook a lesson or two.
The young lady being apt at learn
ing new things, thought she was better
posted than she was and, meeting the
teacher on the street one afternoon, put
her newly acquired information to the
test.
II was with unusual confidence that
she babe him good afternoon" In O
blithe voice and was stepping down
from the curb to cross the street.
"Wait," said the editor. 81 cannot
let you go. Miss c., without explaining
You think you said good day to me
but instead you have called me a very
black, hard name"

Sioux Will Soon Be Asked t. Sign New

Sioux City, Ia, July 6.-Persons who
have been interested in the opening Of
the Rosebud Indian reservation in
South Dakota to settlement will be
encouraged by the news that the 49,
900 acres will be opened soon after
the meeting of the next congress. In
a letter from Indian Commissioner
Jones to Congressman Burke of South
Dakota it is stated that Major James
Laughlin of the Indian department,
who left Washington recently and is
now in North Dakota, is to make a
new treaty with the Rosebud Indians,
which will insure favorable action on
the part of congress. The passage, of
the bill failed at the last congress be-
cause it carried an appropriation of
$1,500,O00 for purchasing the lands.
The new treaty will require the In
dians to give the settlers time to pay
for the lands-$2.50 per acre-at the
time they prove up their claims.

Automatic Screen.

About the only way in which a house.
keeper can keep the house clear Of flies
in the summer time is to use screens in
both the doors and windows. for these
must be left open If there is to be any
circulation of air through the house.
With the use of these screens there
arises the necessity Of removing at
least a portion of them every night if
the house is to be protected from bur
glars, causing no small amount of trou-
BILE to the occupant Of the house. Per-
haps the improved screen, which we
here illustrate, will recommend itself
to replace the loose screens. as 1t is
much easier to manipulate when it is
desired to open or close the window

and affords no opportunity for the en-
trance of flies or bugs while the change
is being made. AS will be seen, the
screen is mounted on a spring roller at
tached to the bottom of the window
frame. with the upper edge of the net
ting secured to the lower portion of the
sash. AS the latter rises or falls the
screen moves with it, winding or un-
winding from the spring controlled roll
er at the base. 1t is a simple matter to
attach the screen to any window, and
it is likewise easy to remove it and roll
it up in small compass for storage
through the winter.

Have no rugs, or at most "a very few

The superstition of standing the bed
