FORMOSAN SAVAGES.
They Thought One Chinaman Was
Worth Killing as Well as Another.


From the New York Sun.
When the Japanese seized Formosa they
had sharp campaign against the Chinese
population, many of whom resented their
arrival by taking up arms The savage
tribes who occupy the mountains of the
eastern third of the island. informed the
Japanese that they would like to help in
the war against their inveterate enemies.
The japanese with some hesitation ac-
cepted small party Of these allies and
about the failure of the experiment. Food
and quarters were provided for the hills
men with the army, and off they started
over the plains to meet the Chinese insur-
gents All went well for few days when
1t became evident that the new recruits
were discontinued. They finally presented
themselves before the commander of the
forces and plainly expressed their disap-
pointment and disgust.
They said the Japanese had come to For
mosa to kill Chinese; but here they had
been marching for days among thousands
of Chinese, working in the fields or busy
about the houses. To be sure, these people
were unarmed, and for that reason it would
have been all the easier to kill them, and
why the Japanese had allowed these thou
sands to live passed their comprehension.
They said they desired to return to theft
Der could make a larger collection of Chi
nese heads than the whole Japanese force
together. So they were started back for
their hills, under escort, and thus ended
their participation in the japanese cam
paign.

PRoMIsCUoUs PHOTOGRAPH.
Some Advice to Men and Women, Too,
That May Well Be Followed.

From the New York Mail and Express
A manual on newspaper reporting pub
lished dozen years ago had bit of coun-
sci to out-of-town correspondents which
ran somewhat in this wise: Don't send
people away together. When a man and
woman leave town the same day, put them
In different paragraphs This advice is
Just as good when it comes to getting ones
picture taken. The man or woman who
stands up in front of camera with a mere
acquaintance. or who makes one Of casual
group to be photographed courts the I'M
kindest cuts Of fate Fate wreaks itself in
the pictorial Newspapers, or perhaps as
Exhibit A" in the divorce courts.
The best that can be said of the man
with the promiscuous photograph habit is
that he has beautiful confidence In hui
man nature. confidence that constitutes
statute OF limitation on the past of his
acquaintances, and plenary indulgence
for their future. So you see him Sinking
blandly from the show window of tintype
gallery. with Foolish Young Things head
on his shoulder, or holding down some pic
turesque mountain rock in company with
fair fellow guest at Catskill hotel
Later the gods-who are lying in wait for
him despite that proverb about children
and fools-smite him through the deeds of
an acquaintance he may have forgotten,
OR Of third party he has never met, and
IA" "oiifoehihS " captain tildt VIII keep
him busy.
If any one thinks that caution in such
matters is needless or unkind let him turn
up the group photograph he had taken in
his grammar school days and call the roll
of his old schoolmates. He will be lucky
if none of them has had a workhouse ex-
perlence or has gravitated into the "emi-
nently undesirable class. That is no argu-
ment at all against the group school pho
tograph; but it is reason why one should
not give his acquaintance the status of In
innate friends and to be photographed with
them does just that Life Is full of ms
and downs, and there is an embarra ssment
In stereotyping in photograph a social
condition necessarily momentary and sure
to be altered by pressure in both directions.

What the Stars Are Made Of.
rom knowledge.


Notwithstanding the divergence of opin-
ion on some points, there is a general ac-
quiescence IN the view that the matter COM
posing the stars is essentially the same as
that with which we are acquainted on the
earth This leading idea is admirably ex-
pressed by Sir William and Lady Higgins
in the following passage in their ATLAS OF
Representative Stellar Spectral LAS the
conclusion of the whole matter, though
there may be no reason to assume that the
proportions of the different kinds of chem
ical matter are strictly the same In all
stars, or that the roll of chemical elements
is equally complete in every star. the evil
dence appears to be strong that the princi-
pal types of star spectra should not be in
terpreted as produced by great original df
ferences of chemical constitution but
rather as successive stages of an evolu-
tionai progress. bringing about such altered
conditions of density, temperature and
mlngling of stellar gases as are sufficient
presumably to account for the spectral diff
ferences observed. even though with our
present knowledge complete expla nation
may not be forthcoming" Investigations
are still in progress in many lands. and IT IS
not too much to expect that sooner or later
the story OF celestial evolution will be COM
pletely elucidated.

Cure for brain Fag.v

A physician in answer to an inquiry said:
THE br2in is the most exquisitely delicate
mechanism known to US. but mechanism
is a brutal word to apply to the thing
which can evolve fiscal policy or battle
ship, yet on which a sunbeam, a shadow
or a perfume produces the most profound
effects. Yet some women use this delicate
machinery as no carter would use a horse;
many men do SO. When the brain is tired
1t does not say so In words, but in symp-
toms; then we grumble and call these
symptoms brain fag.' 1t is an excellent
name. This new disease is as old as the

PREHISTORIC CEMETERY.
Opening Tornbs in Egypt = Excellent
Teeth in the Skulls.
From the New York Times


Mr.. John Ward, F. s. A.. writing in the
LONDON Antiquary. gives some very inter-
esting details of excavation work carried On
up the Nile some months ago. Many thou
sand tombs. mostly prehistoric, have been
opened. Most of them had no inscriptions
Whatever, but in some cylinders and scarabs
were found, with inscriptions so old that it
will require great study to dechiper their
meaning. Most of the remains are mere
skeletons. and have never been mummified
These were generally found lying on their
side, their face to the east, their knees
drawn up to their chins. Nearly all of the
poor old skulls still possessed excellent
teeth. Some exquisitely formed alabaster
dishes and vases, not turned in the lathe
but wrought by hand. and a cylinder of
SOLID gold were found in the tombs nearly
all OF which had been tunneed into by rob-
bers thousands of years ago.
In one tomb a fine papyrus was discover
ed; the owner had it buried beside him.
that he might peruse it at his leisure in the
future state. 1t was portion of the Egyp-
tan Bible, the Book of the Dead" Many
of the larger tombs had facades built of
brick, with one or two chambers outside
the rock-cut portion. Others were closed
by hut-shaped erectiOns over the mouth of
the shaft, and it was very extraordinary
lsays Mr.. Ward) on descending one of these
shafts to see several lateral chambers cut
in the crumbling rock, each with its CHASTITY
occupant placidly lying on the side, it's
hand up to it's head, or else with the knees
drawn up to the chin. But the most curious
style of burial, and one that has never been
seen before, so far Mr. Ward knows is
the following: Numbers of boxes were
found especially in the northern part of the
huge cemetery, about three feet by two feet.
and nine inches deep. In each of these
there was found complete adult skeleton.
How the ancient folk were doubled up into
such small space passes belief, and yet they
had been boxed up with the flesh on their
bones. Some similar boxes We're found, but
made of red baked clay.

FOREST RESERVES IN MAINE.
Private Ownership Discouraged by
Local Hunters.

From the Boston Advertiser.
Maine and New Hampshire do not yet
suffer from the tendency of the times
among millionaires to purchase the great
forest tracts and set them apart for their
private uses. However much this may be
SO In the Adirondacks and however much
1t may be becoming so in western Massa-
chusetts and Vermont, the two eastern
states have thus far escaped. And the
huntsmen and woodmen, who feel that they
have an inalienable right in a primitive
forest which holds good above legal title,
have reasons to be elated.
The experiment of Marshall Jewell, Gen.
Grants Postmaster General, in leasing a
one hundred thousand acre forest lot in the
Maine woods has never been repeated. For
time he and his associates made their re-
We're the only ones who were allowed a free
hunt IN the wilds No matter how big the
game might be or how tempting the chase
might prove, even the Maine guides who
mad roamed without restriction through the
great woods were forbidden to enter. This
stirred up hostile feelings throughout the
state. and eventually when the promoter
dled the vast tract again became the hunt
ing ground for Maine people themselves.
since then both state and individuals have
zeaiously guarded their interests against
any syndicate which would try to repeat
this experiment Hunting and fishing clubs
may control exclusively some of the ponds
and smaller lakes in the pine region. but
they have found it inexpedient to deny
others the hunting privileges which they
nave themselves enjoyed. The same stu
atlon mas been true in the main in New
Hampshire. the exception being in the case
OF the Corbin Park, which embraces parts
or two or three townships where there were
once villages and farms. But this is really
an animal reserve in which every citizen
feels a pride and interest, because hunting
is entirely secondary, the aim of the park
being to keep from determination some
animal species which would not survive
without protection.

BEST FOOD FOR BRAIN WORKERS.
Physiological Chemists Have Not Pre-
cisely Determined It.

SASSAy ASStOGAuAAESQf 4ts
From the Brooklyn Eagles
It has not yet been fully determined by
physiological chemists just what food il
the most nourishing for brain workers. The
brain and the nerves contain the elements
OF nitrogen and phosphorus which occur in
the protein compCunds, but are not found
In the true. fats or the sugars or foods
containing only carbon. hydrogen and oxy-
gen. 1t Is believed, therefore, that pro-
tein and other compounds containing nitro
gen and phosphorus are the proper foods
to build up brain and nerves and keep them
in repair
Experiments in this direction were. made
on two university professors three lawyers
and three physicians. Their diet was unre-
strained and 1t w&s leSrned that the profess
sors consumed food that produced 20 and %
pound of protein and 1855 and 1926 calories
or heat value respectively each day; the
three lawyers averaged 10 pound Of protein
ana 2,4OO calories of heat value daily; two
doctors averaged .2S pound of protein and
Z,I6o calories and the third doctor used 80
pound of protein and 2.S08 calories of heat
value. The professors lived in Germany, the
three lawyers and two doctors lived at
Munich and the third physician at Copen-

A Queer Trade.
From Everybody's Magazine.

From Everybody Magazine. -
The hot pepper seller of Mexico Is
merchant who derives his livelihood from
the fact that the Mexican must have his
peppers, whatever else he may deny him
self. They are brought to his door by the
countryman, or he may go to the market
place and find them spread out for sale on
mating. The market man, while dressed
inexpensively as far as his bodily sarb Is
concerned, wears in nearly every instance
an elaborate head covering. Some of these
Mexicans own hats that cost as much as
the rest of their wardrobe. The pride of
the white man in his Panama Is not to be
compared with that of the Mexican In his
sombrero. 1t is a racial Characteristic
which finds it's counterpart in the apron OF
the Portuguese onion seller. Her occupa-
ton may be lowly, but her apron might be
that of woman of high degree-plush
edged with fur In not uncommon.
