CHINESE NEATNEss.
Their Personal Habits Contrast With

sibly to find that they are generally
as clean and bright as though they
had Just come from the manicure,
AS are his finger nails, SO is the
rest OF the Chinamans body. II is
one Of the queer contradictions about
this contradictory people that al
though their houses are usually sur
rounded by fringe of dirt and al
though they don't take to modern san
itation a bit. they are very clearly in
their personal habits.
The daily bath is an institution, A
bathtub is not necessary. Your China
man manages very well with few
cupfuls of water and a washrag.
He completes his toilet by polishing
his long nails. and every day or so
he visits the barber. who shaves not
only the scanty hair on his face, but
also his head and the inside OF his
ears. If he can AFFORD 1t the China
man put on clean blouse every day
or twos 1t Is no accident that these
people are a nation of laundrymen
1t comes to them naturally.

The Rev. Father Froger, principal
of st. Joseph's college, Banagalora,
India vUritas to the i~~~i r"nars de-
scribing an experience when cycling
from Wellington to Octacamund by
the Kotagiri road-this being the
road 1t is understood. which comes in
tn notaoamund. from the S-"--'o'A
direction. According ito the English
mans" summary, the Reverend Faith
err was riding quietly along when he
saw what looked like tiger sitting
on a rock on the bare hillside above
him. AS he watched the fact that it
was tiger became apparent, and, to
Father Froger's horror, 1t suddenly
bounded straight down the hillside
and made for him. Fortunately,
there was a slight incline in his fav-
or in the road, and he cycled for his
life until the upward grade became
too steep and he had to get off. APP
parently the beast did not pursue af-
ter he had lost sight of the cyclist but
the unprovoked attack is in itself an
unusual occurrence, especially with
Nilgiri tigers. There seems little
doubt that tigers are unusually num-
erous this year, and in the vicinity of
Kotagiri bears and panthers are also
said to be in unaccustomed numbers.

. Making FIawIess Steel.

BY the use of the substance called
thermite, which consists principally OF
a mixture of aluminium and iron oXid,
and which possesses the property of
continuing to burn spontaneously af'
ter having once been ignited. produc'
ing temperatures as high as 5000 de-
grees Centigrade, it has become pos
sible to make steel casting of enor-
nous size and weight free from flaws.
The thermite is introduced into the
steel as, in a molten state, it flows in
to the casting mould, and igniting, it
raises the mass 10 an extremely high
temperature, thus filing up any flaws
that may have started to form. When
liquid iron is treated with thermite the
metal shows much finer grains when
1t solidifes, and the surface possesses
a remarkable polishing capacity.

because he refused TO buy or try her
elixir. This was no common remedy,
being free from those minerals which
are the root of all evil, but the skillful
blending Of an herb of which medical
men know nothing" Needless to say,
the old lady lost her case, which she
pleaded in person. Fer sincerity was
as obvious as her stupidity, and made
her, a pathetic rather than ridiculous
figure.

Victims Of old Jokes.

A hospital surgeon says that there
Is more facial paralysis among bank
paying tellers, photographers and ele-
vator operators than in any other
classes. He accounts for it with the
words; "Old jokes"
Jokes! How so?"
whenever bank clerk hands out
a fresh, crisp bill, the man on the
other side of the window says, New
money, Ell? Made it yourself, | sup
poser 1t is up to the teller to force
a laugh. The man on the chair says,
Amt you afraid I'll break your cam
era?' He would be mortally wounded
If the operator did not laugh. One
man out of every ten will enter an
elevator and say to the boy at the
rope, Lots of ups and downs in your
life, amt there?' The boy forces a
smile.
Year after year of this sort of
business tells in the long run. The
victims come here for treatment, and
we can hold out no hope to them un-
less they get into another line of

Travel is TrueSt Source Of wisdom.

The "Four-Track Series" is the title
of a series of thirty-six books of travel
and education issued by the passenger
department of the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad.
These small books are filed with in
formation regarding the best modes of
travel, and the education that can best
be obtained by travel, the whole world
now agreeing with Lord BeacOnsfeld
that Travel is the great source of true
wisdom"
They relate specifically to the great
resorts Of Amerlca-to trips TO the ISL
ands of the sea and around the world
giving a mass of useful information re-
garding the time required for a jour
ney, its cost and other particulars not
easily obtained elsewhere.
They also contain numerous illustra-
tons and new and accurate maps of
the country described.

There is an American here who is
rapidly learning English. He used to
ring the bell and call CURLY for
"mucilage." Assiduous and willing
attendants brought him everything
you can think of from the "Peerage"
to packets of cigarettes. But never
the exact thing he wanted. At last
the most intelligent of the young men
put the right question, and got the
answer. "Oh! yes" he said, and
brought gum. In America when you
want to stick things together you ask
for mucilage, and you want something
to chew You demand gum. So called
by limitation-we presume, because

My disgust with myself for being
such fool as to leave my carblne out
side can easily be imagined. was at
my wits end to know how to beat the
creature Off. Plainly 1t was bold from
hunger, and had no doubt smelled my
salmon, half OF which was on a shelf
just inside the hut door. had
thoughts of throwing the fish out to II,
and then an idea came into my mind.
For preserving the skins Of birds and
small animals / had taken along Il
quantity of arsenic In bottle. When
the violence Of the creatures efforts at
the door had subsidized and 1t was rae
ing round the hut again, | hastily cut
. deep cash in the fish with my knife;
then, striking another match, l put in
as much as twenty grains of the poison.
BY this time the animal was on the
roof again, scratching and snarling and
snuffiing. Opening the door little, 1
flung out the salmon. / had scarcely
done so when, pOunce! came the beast
to the ground. With a sniff and snarl
it seized the fish and ran off little
way. Not so far, however, but that l
could hear 1t eating, ats teeth grltting
on the backbone.
There must have been FIVE or six
pounds of the fish; but within half
minute the animal was back, shifting
about the place for more. l listened
anxioHsly. 1t jumped on the roof
again. then prOwled round the hut
Presently there came an interval of
frightful staccatO screech! Then fol-
lowed some lofty tumbling all over the
ground about the hut, enlivened by
tthE6e,gm most b3lood-curdling yells it is pos
''''V '" nOaninR out, |
caught glimpses of what vcourroa
Sometimes that poor brute went ton
feet in the air, then 1t clawed up the
earth and brush, turned wild somer-
saults, and tore and bit its own flesh.
1t tried in vain to vOmit forth the
poison.
If not hard-pressed in self-defense, 1
would never administer arsenic to any
living creature.
Pathetic means succeeded the
screeches and then the suffering ami
NAL dragged itself to the stream,
where heard 1t nOlsily tapping water;
and after that the end came very soon.
Fancying that its mate might have
been attracted by the yelling, hastily
secured my carbine and stayed inside

house an examination Of the wOman's
clothing showed that she had hundreds

aaolnn Cars a NeeessltY.

Racing cars are fulfilling a worthy
and high 1unCu,ss.I ----- -. .li.--, anristS
and riders of every shade of conser-
vatism are indebted to these speed
cars that beat their life out in frail
structure for the sake Of quiet and
safeguarded motoring. The man that
turns to curse a flying chauffeur ought
to know enough to praise MIN. He
puts each part to white-hot test.
An hour of speed debauch is worth
year of sane bowling along. The
experiments of the racing car, the
results of which have been taken
over and incorporated in the touring
car, are long shots on the life of the
rider. And this system of putting
novelties through the burning fiery
furnace is giving us the increasingly
excellent touring cars.-Country Life
