MUCH TROUBLE; LITTLE SMOKE.
Chinaman Has His Own Way of En-
joying Tobacco.

OF all smokers the Chinaman goes
to the greatest trouble and obtains the
least result. HE carries" says an
observer, "a little box almost twice
the size of an ordinary silver cigarette
case. This is half-fllled with water. In
one end is removable tiny tube to
serve as pipe, at the other end is
the pipe stem. First of all he takes
out the tube and blows through it to
remove all blockage. Then he FUN
bles through his awkward clothes,
searching for tobacco, and produces
a bit Of rag in which it is wrapped.
Carefully he extracts a wad of tobac-
co. puts away his rag and slowly plugs
the tube, which holds, perhaps, the
tenth part of an ordinary cigarette.
But he never has any matches. So
he has to borrow or hunt out brown
paper stem and light tit CLOVIS for
long time and can be pulled into
flame again. He gives a long draw,
slowly enjoying it to its full extent for
the moment or two, then back again
through the old routine to find his to-
bacco. fill his pipe and get it lighted"

A FELLOW FEELING.
Why She Felt LcnIcnt Towards the
Drunkerd.


A great deal depends on the point Of
view. A good temperance woman was
led, in a very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh Judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:
For many years I was a great suf-
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got so poor that found could not lie

CONVICTIONS ARE OF VALUE.
Must Be Planted Deep IT They Are to
Hold and influence.

Nobody who is endowed with good
mind and wants to live to his salts
faction can AFFORD to neglect the &C.
quirement of convictions, says Edward
S. Martin in the Metropolitan. What
are they? They ought to be opinions
based on knowledge and definitely
thought out. Practically they come
in various ways-oftcn by inheritance
or as the result of early training;
sometimes by association, sometimes
from the automatic working OF the
mind during long periods when 1t is
acquiring and sitting knowledge and
experience. Sometimes, again, con-
victions seem to come suddenly, espc-
cially religious convictions, though
there is usually long process OF pre-
paratory thought behind them, and IT
IS really only the final conclusion that
is sudden. Deep convictions on any
subject don't come ready-nnade. One
has TO work for them; TO earn them.
II they are to hold and to influence
conduct, they must be planted deep.

The Remedy That Makes New Blood
Banishes Weakness, Headaches, In

Hundreds Of women suffer from head
aches, dizziness, restlessness, languor
and timidity. Few realize that their
misery all comes from the bad state of
their blood. They take one thing for
their head, another for their stomach,
n third for their nerves, and yet all the
while it is simply their poor blood that
Is the cause Of their discomfort.
If one sure remedy for making good,
rich blood were used every one of their
distressing ailments would disappear, as
they did i'll the case of Mrs. Ella f.
Stone, who had been ailing for years and
was completely run down before she re-
allied the nature of her trouble.
For several years." said Mrs. Stone,
"I suffered from general debility. 1t
began about 1896 with indigestion, ner
vousness and steady headaches. Up to
1900 hadD' been able to find any RELIEF
from this condition. l was then very

friend, who had used DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, urged me to give them q trial and
finally bought box.

from the use of the first box, but I de-
termined to give them fair trial and 1

constant headaches before, very rarely

At What Temperature Water eoiIs.

Water boils at different tempera
lures, according to the elevation above
the sea level. In London water boils
practically at 212 degrees Fahrenheit;
in Munich, Germany, at 2O91s de-
grees; in the City Of Mexico at 200
degrees, and in the Himalayas. at an
elevation of $4,000 feet above the lev
ell Of the sea, at $50 degrees. These
differences are caused by the vary
ing pressure of the atmosphere at
these points. In London the whole
weight of the air has to be overcome.
In Mexico, 1000 feet above the sea,
there is 1000 feet less Of atmosphere
to be resisted. Consequently less heat
is required and boiling takes place at
q lower temperature.

c.use Of MYSTERIOUS Sounds.

There is an old superstition that tap
ping sounds in a room foretell death.
A correspondent suggests that these
sounds are emitted from wooden fur
niture. 81 have generally noticed" he
says, chat | heard them after sud
den change in the temperature from

to expand and open the interstices OF

hand, causes the wood to contract,
and the interstices then close ana
forcibly expel the air with these eT
plosive sounds"

"a hundred years hence, leaving
China out OF the question, there will
be two colossal overs in the world,
beside which Germany, England,

If any one had told Emile de La.

years the power Of Russia on the sea
would be annihilated, aud her land

pygmy nation of Japan, would he
have believed it?
No, neither he nor any one else, at
that time, would hive credited It.
The incredible, the unbelievable, has
actually happened. There is no result
without a cause. What Is the underly-
ing cause OF this marvellous strength
of Japan?
1t is not in battle ships or siege guns
not In torpedo boats or field artillery
mot IN arms or armor-not in NUM-

The Mason family was originally Of

Mason memorials in the Church of the
Holy Trinity at Stratford- on-Avon
Colonel George Mason, the first, was
however, not Warwaickshire man
but was born in Staffordshire. One OF
his fellow Royalist refugees to Amer
leo was Gerard Fowke, of Gunston, a
hamlet in Staffordshire. The old Eng
fish Gunston Hall was standing a few
years ago, and was owned by the Gif.
fords, descendants of the same Giffords
who were Royalists with Fowke and
Mason, and who owned Boscobel, near
Gunston, where Charles II. lay in con-
cealment after the battle of Worcester
The commonwealth commander at
Worcester was General Fairfax, and ii
was strange fate that made descen-
ant of this man neighbor to the Wash
ingtons of Mount Vernon and the
Masons Of Gunston Hall. Belvoir, the
Fairfax estate, lay Immediately be-
tween Gunston and Mount Vernon
The first American Mason and
Fowke settled in the northern neck of
Virginia, but Fowke later removed to
Maryland. George Mason, the second,
married Mary Fowke, daughter of Ger.
ard Fowke, and they built home in
Maryland, which they called Gunston
Hall, in memory of the English Guns
ton. These people were grandparents
of George Mason, the fourth, or George
Mason, one Of the republics founders.
In 1850 this man married Anne Eilbeck
OF Mattawoman, Maryland, and soon
after his marriage began the erection
Of Gunston Hall, Virginia, which he
named after his grandparents place in
Maryland and the ancestral home Of
the Fowkes in Staffordshire.
Mason was one Of the vestrymen of

ton. Washington and William Fairfax
were also vestrymen there.
