A Chinese story.

"There was once upon time very
unfilial son." said a Chinaman. 80
disobedient was he that If his father
told him to go to the east he would go
to the west; If his father told him to go
to the west he invariably went to the
east All his life long he had been dis
obedient. At last the old man, as he
lay on his deathbed, greatly feared
that his undutiful son would not take
the trouble to bury him in favorable
spot. After much cogitation he thought
of a plan for insuring what is OF such
vital Importance in Chinese eyes. If
die he said, you must bury me in the
water The father concluded that, in
accordance with his usual line Of con-
duct, the son would do the exact oppo-
site of what he was told. So, after
congratulating himself, no doubt, on
his astuteness in arranging to get bur-
led in a good place on dry land, the
old man died. But, alas, his admirable
scheme failed. After the fathers
death the young man said to himself:
All my lifetime have disobeyed my
father. Now that he is dead ! will
obey him this once So, in scrupulous
obedience to the dying injunction, he
buried his father in the water"

Wanted 1t to Come Gradually.

One evening recently a well known
writer received a check from a maya
zine which was a good deal larger than
he had anticipated. The occurrence
seemed worthy of a celebration; so, in
company with young artist, who had
sometimes shared his dinner on less
prosperous occasion, he sought a res
taurant noted for its expensive menu.
With a luxurious shrug and with in
difference to the cares Of the world. he
ordered an elaborate repast. His COM
panion, being of the sex especially
thrifty when dealing with household
matters, begged him to be cautious.
No, indeed. for that night he was

I'm Some Cases 1t In stimulating ana
In Others Narcotic.
Whether or not tobacco is stimu-
liant has been a vexed question ever
since the time of Oviedo, the first
writer to describe it fully, who says
that the Indians Of Hispaniola used to-
bacco to produce insensibility, whereas
others among the old Spanish discov-
erers say that the natives smoked to
stimulate themselves to fresh exertions.
Men whose business leads to expo
sure to weather or to violent physical
exercise, such as sailors, soldiers,
watchmen, navvies and field laborers,
all take tobacco as a stimulant ana
have done so from the first.
These classes are mentioned as spe-
cially large consumers of the weed in
DR.. Everard's "Panacea," published In
1859. Hobbies and Newton both used
tobacco to stimulate. Goethe and Heine
hated it. Scott smoked profusely; but,
according to Mr.. Trelawney, Byron
never smoked pipe or cigar"
Modern experience and observation
seem to indicate that tobacco Is stim-
ulant in moderation and a narcotic In
excess, in this respect resembling all
other intoxicants, using the term In its
widest sense, from tea to opium.

Che Folly of Relieving In Unlucky

When fortune tellers swindle the
poor and ignorant we should make
them suffer smartly for it. Certainly
the ingenuity Of professional fortune
teller is in itself educative. The craft
with which she throws out veiled hints
the subtlety with which she pounces
upon any lucky shot and the diplomacy
which she uses to extort confessions
are often magnificent.
Observe the rapt, far away look with

you know some one of that name, in
which case the odds are that you will
afford her some clew for intelligent
anticipations. If, however, you indig-

can always fall back upon the very
safe statement that the name will be
familiar to you later on.

The Dainty Ant.

Ants have no set time for brushing
up, but certain conditions plainly incite
thereto, as when they feel particu-
larly comfortable. as after eating or
after awakening from or before going
to sleep. The keen sense of discom-
fort aroused by the presence of dirt
incites to cleansing. Often one may
see an ant suddenly pause in the midst
of the duties Of field or sormicary and
begin to comb herself. Here is noun
tain mound maker driven by the pas
sion OF nest building to the utmost
fervor of activity. Suddenly she drops
out of the gang of yellow workers and,

no hint of the falls, only seeing before
us a screen OF rocky based, bright green
forest, apparently closing in the river,
like a lake. Ten minutes walk brought
us to the camp, on cliff which liter
ally overhung the gorge, and we saw
the cataract laundering down into the
boiling pot at our feet. The walls or
the chasm, 400 feet high, were spanned
by rainbow. The charm of these falls
lies not in the one overwhelming crash
as at Niagara, but in the cumulative eff
feet of various glimpses, the matchless
beauty OF tie surroundings and the
strangeness of the whole setting, but
chiefly in the columns Of spray, called
the "thundering smoke" and in the
ever changing rainbows. The mile wide

crack in the ground, stretching right
across the stream at right angles to
the banks. a foaming trough, quite
narrow, OF which the walls rose 400
feet above the surface OF the water"
