the Japanese are in advance of all
others. The fundamental condition
of this health of the people lies far
back of all the contributions of Occi-

indigenous to this remarkable people.
1t consists in the national and his
toric habit of living in the fresh air

Test for Cigar Smokers

Colorado Madura was selected for the
test and the smoker took a seat and
began.
He puffed like an engine for about
two minutes and accumulated some
thing under half an inch of ash, and
then he began to wabble. He shifted
the cigar from side to side, pulled
slow and fast and seemed to have
difficulty getting his breath between
the draws. At any rate he kept turn
ing his head to avoid the smoke, and
finally got to laughing. l could see he
was in torture, but he stuck to 1t until
he got within half an inch of the
mark. Then he jumped up suddenly,
threw the cigar away and walked out
of the shop.
81 paid the bet and charged it to his
account, and he told me last evening
that the very idea of tobacco made
him sick. doubt whether it would
be possible for anybody to smoke

the same cause. Personal unclean-
illness of body is also contributing
source of morbid mischief, against
which the best of our Western ma
tions must also fight long war. The
Japanese have plenty of fresh air and
light in their houses. The typical
Japanese house, indeed. is open on
all sides and at all times to wind
and sun, and those who live in it are
the most clearly of body of all peoples.
They have no bedrooms, and no beds,
as we understand the term, and so
they are also free from the diseases
which are almost inevitably connected
with that otherwise universal piece OF
household furniture. Those who are
astonished at the sudden appropria-
ton by this people of all that science
and civilization can give or teach, for
get that it has long been possessed
OF the prime essentials of civilization,
of which our hygienists and boards OF
health are vainly now trying to teach
the people the true value.-American

Burro Served as Guide

his burro had broken his tether and
was moving across the desert at a
leisurely pace. He followed, but the
animal was so far in the lead and he
was so exhausted from his efforts to
overtake Peterson that he could not
come up to the burro.
Night came upon him, and it soon
became so dark that he could not dis
tinguish the burro. He had to follow
it by the footprints in the sand. When
it became too dark to distinguish the
footprints Kelley still staggered on in
sheer desperation.
BY and by his heart gave great
throb. Before him, outlined against
the sky and seemingly suspended in
the air. was form which he knew
to be either his burro or an appari-
ton. He hurried forward, and, 10!
standing upon sharp rise of ground
and facing him was his lost burro!
The burro seemed to be awaiting him,
for when he came up the animal
turned and led the way down the in
cline to spring of living water.

The burro, veritable ship of the
Western desert, will live longer with
out water and scent it further than
any other known animal except the
camel. AS an example of the keen
scent of the burro for water, Arthur
]. Burdick relates, in 1.-THE Mystic
Mid-Region," the experience of two
prospectors, named Peterson and Kel-
ley. A few years ago they attempted
to cross the Great Mohave desert on
foot, with a burro to carry their sup
plies.
In passing from oasis to oasis they
lost their way, and the supply OF
water became exhausted. To be lost
in the desert is terrible thing, and
anxiety, coupled with torturing thirst
and the intense heat. drove Peterson
insane. He left his companion and
fed, shrieking, across the plain. KEEL

Peterson to bring him back, but was
unable to overtake him.
He returned to the trail to find that

"Hoodlum," which has found place
in the vernacular, is well understood
to apply to class Of young toughs
who has no respect for sex, age or the
sense of what is becoming. Few
know the derivation of the word.
1t was in 1872, when the Odd Eel
lows held picnic at Redwood City.
A gang of toughs attended.
Among the gang from San Francis
co, was one whose name was Hood
LummiX, who was peculiarly form
ed creature. Clumsy, big-footed, with
q large mouth and protruding teeth,
thick lips, big, bushy head of hair of
a dirty brick color, standing out like
quilts on porcupine, this almost NAL
formed specimen attracted the atten-
ton of young rowdies who picked
upon him for days sport.
Go where he might he was followed
by gang who hooted and made
things unpleasant for him during the

tobacco than any man in New York,

''He declared to begin with, that he

that no man alive could smoke even

The amusement of the gang did
not confine itself to the picnic
grounds. They went outside, broke
into orchards and flower gardens, des-
troying valuable property, and finally
wound up by shooting valuable
horse belonging to rancher.
This last act was more than the
sheriff of San Marco could stand, and
he bagged couple of dozen of the
offenders. When the case came up
before the justice of the peace in Red
wood each of the accused laid the
blame on Hood Lummix. Simple
minded Hood got six months in Jail.
In sentencing him the justice. who
was very much displeased that he
could not send the entire gang to
state prison, delivered lecture to the
offenders, in which he said:
81 now warn you to keep out Of this
country; we want no more Of Hood
Lummix or his gang to visit u.s."
The word was thus coined for COM
mon use.-New York Herald.

One of Natures Freaks.

One of Natures freaks, in the shape
of a reed fish, is on exhibition in Sc
attic curio shop on the water front.
This interesting specimen may be best
described as half animal and half veg
etable life. 1t is six feet long. The
reed apparently grows out of the fish,
while the latter carries a covering
over the reed, hence the dual animal
and vegetable life. This reed fish
was taken on Hood canal last week
by tugboat man. 1t stands erect in
pools of salt water. Though long and
1.-the and to every appearance veg
etable product, the thing has a head
and eyes. 1t was caught with a sal
mon hook.
