Economical John chinaman.

An amusing trait of the Chinese
character is pointed out In the last
report of the British consul at Foo
chow, says the London Daily Mail.
British company started match
factory to compete against the Jap
anese. 1t seemed to prosper and then
stopped.
All the consul drily remarks is. "It
would be we'll. however, If they bore
in mind that the Chinaman not only
counts the number of matches In a
box, but also takes into consideration
the number of those that break in
striking or fail to ignite. these being
the complaints brought against the
matches hitherto turned out by the
company"

COYOTES VS.. a.eE CHICKENS.
Dispute As to Which Kills Wyoming
Grasshoppers.

A Cheyenne dispatch says that the
dispute which has been in progress in
Wyoming for several weeks as to
whether sage chickens eat grasshop-
pers, has brought out rather sur
prising statement on the part of Sid
Winship Of Sundance, Wyoming, as to
the reason for the increase of grass
hoppers in certain sections Of the
state.
Winship says that the killing OF sage
Chickens has had nothing to do with
the increase of grasshoppers, but that
the killing of coyotes has been re-
sponsible for the phenomenon. He
states that coyotes eat an enormous
number of grasshoppers during the
warm months, and that the placing OF
bounty on coyotes is equivalent 10
the placing of a premium on grasshop-
pers. Frequently he has opened the
stomachs of coyotes and found them
filed with thousands OF grasshoppers
which the sly beasts had stalked and
ueyoured.
The do Sage Chickens Eat Grass
hoppers" dispute was started by bill
introduced in the Legislature to pro-
tect sage chickens for period OF
years, the author of the bill maintain
ing that the killing of sage chickens in
some sections had resulted in such
an enormous increase in grasshoppers
that the range was being destroyed.
Sportsmen objected to entirely doing
away with the open season on chick
ems, and since the bill was introduced
the dispute has extended from one end
Of the state to the other, many promi-
nent men going on record one one side
OF the question or the other.

President Roosevelt went to Attor-

the New Willard last night. says a
Washington paragraph. The President
has a new team of horses, and when he
arrived at the White House after the
dinner, instead of going into the White
House at once, stopped to look over
the horses. He examined them care

with the coachman. Then he looked
at the harness critically.

He is telling his coachman how TO

changes of temperature.

America:
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventilated, but SO as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Rsfhi11.
Those in vigorous health should take
n cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
Diet.
The diet should be generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshfne.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during
the day.
Ciothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Rs-rp-nA
When unavoidably exposed to cold or
wet, few doses of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Precsufios.
When seized with chill, or even
slight chilliness, a dose of Peruna
should be taken at once.
