Money in Rags.

It was after a rain a few days ago.
Half a dozen persons-old, young and
of both sexes-were waiting at the cor
ner of Broadway and Spring street,
with transfers in their hands, for their
cars to come along. Hundreds were
passing by every two or three minutes.
Many of these looked at soiied hand
kerchief or rag lying few feet from
the curb just west Of Broadway. AL
Of the six saw it.
Soon a poorly dressed old woman got
off a Broadway car, took a transfer
from the company's agent and joined
the others on the corner. She saw the
rag. too. With a glance at the others
she took a step or two toward 1t and
then hesitated. Smiles were on the
faces of those who watched her. Then
compressing her lips she deliberately
walked to the dirty rag, picked 1t up
and shook it out. One corner OF 1t was
knotted I'D. The handkerchtef-for 1t
really was such-was small, evidently
q woman's or girls, and was wet with
rain and sticky with mud. The old
woman united the knot and displayed
to the gaze Of the grinning crowd dol
lar bill, a silver quarter, some dmes'
nickels and pennies.
The smiles disappeared from the
other faces. but the old woman laughed
outright. She had been we'll paid to1

make me 'logy' and dizzy. and it
seemed to thicken up my blood.
'"The heaviest was when it upset my

one Of these attacks, in which nearly
lost my life, I concluded to quit and

not only a most pala table and refresh

WKsR: HEALTH IS FASHIONABLE
IN Japan All Glasses INCREASINGLY Prac.
tice Rody TroinfDY.

Just now, while the military prowess
nj general staying power of the Jap
anese are claiming the attention and
respect Of the civilized world, it is Of
great interest to note the claims made,
by those who know best, rs their ad-
vanced attitude toward the whole ques-
ton OF hygiene and physical develop
ment. We Of the West are all too apt
to take it for granted that we stand
i'll the advanced guard Of all evolution,
and it has become the custom Of late
years to enl.ghten the 1aity by word
and pen on their. duty to their ply
siques. Health is the fashion, and its
rules are published broadcast. Now
We are told that in Japan health is
not only the fashion-but the universal
habit. The Japanese people not only
know the rules that govern it, but all
classes untiringly practice them.
They are the same old ru:es-we have
them all at our tongues ends-breathe
deeply and slowly Of fresh air, bathe
regularly, eat moderately, drink plenty
of fresh water. We all knew them, we
all respect them, but most Of US ig-
more them, except by fits and starts.
With the japanese the case is differ
ent. They are naturally all ahstemious
people and are not great lneat-.aters.
They have always laid great stress on
the value Of large quantities of pure
water to flush the system and keep the
kidneys in good condition, and they
are probably the most inveterate bath
ers in the world. AS to their muscular
development and control, they are IA
nous, and last, but not least, they
place great weight on the Importance
of cultiyating and practi"ing all the
time the fundamental principles of hy-
giene.
They are to-day pitted against huge
and powerful nation, and are winning
victory after victory over their ad-
versaries, not because they outnum-
Der them, not because they are bigger,
but largely because their bodies are
trained to endurance and their minds
to patience and foresight.
The Western nations are beginning
to learn the lesson they teach-to prac.
tice with patient persistence those
laws of health that have been taught
so often. The jiu-jitsu, the system OF
body training practiced by the JAP
anese for centuries, is the foundation
of many modern treaties on physical
culture. Youths Companion.

A Fatal Snake Encounter.

j few minutes after killing a large
snake in the yard Of his summer resi-.
dence at Aliquippa, Pa, George Wood,
a school director in the Thirty y-frst
Ward, died very suddenly of a hemior'
rhage, which, it is believed, was
brought on by the excitement. he
reached AliQuippa shortly before G
o'clock. and on entering the yard Of his
summer home was startled to see q
reptile in the path. He killed it and
continued on his way to the house. He
plainly showed his excitement, and
suddenly became Ill. He was attacked
by hemorrhages and died before ply
sician could be summoned.-Pittsburg

NAL is provided in the shape Of a life
size deer, mounted on small bogie
truck. At a speed which can be regu-
lated at any pace up to ten or twelve
miles an hour the deer is carried
through the woods, and as it appears
at the different openings that have
been among the trees along the route
Of the railway Mr.. Mackay and his
sporting friends get chance for just
such a quick shot as the hunter in the
Maine woods has to rely on to fill his
bag.
At the end of the run the truck
passes over an automatic switch which
shuts off the current. and the deer
comes to a standstill in a sheltered
pit, where a marker is posted. he
notes the places where the deer has
been hit, telephones, by means Of a
special wire laid down for the purpose,
the results of his aim to the man with
the gun, and then, as soon as he has
pasted a piece Of canvas or brown
paper over the wounds that have been
made, is ready to cart the deer on
again to run the gantlet of the marks
men a second or third time.
The deer itself is made and mounted
with such skill that anyone not in the
secret inevitably would believe it was
a real live animal. The illusion is
helped by the fact that it never comes
nearer the guns than 100 yards, and
not only does it pass so quickly that
it is impossible to get more than a
hurried glance at it, but by an in
genious mechanism the motions Of
galloping deer are reproduced exactly.
At present Mr.. Mackay has only the
single "deer" on his estate, but with the
railroad in full working order he can
put on as many more as he likes and
have deer or tiger, buffalo or moose
rushing in and out Of range as fast as
bearers can load the guns.-Philadel-
phia Record.
