MEETDEATHME MERELY
CHINESE BANDITS JOKE UP TO
LAST MOMENT.
After Undergoing Tortures of the Pris-
on the Doomed Men Go Almost
Willingly to Execution-caII for a
Song on the Scaffold.

A correspondent of the Shanghai
Times thus describes the execution of
three Chinese bandits July 81 last at
Dahoshun, midway between Kao-
pangtze and Sinmintun, native soldiers
being in charge: Going up the hill
to the execution ground one of the
men was so heavily shackled with a
great beam of wood round his ankles
that he was unable to walk and the
soldiers were forced to carry him up.
This he treated as great joke and
chaffed the soldiers for not carrying
him more gently. Arrived at the top,
two of the condemned men started a
heated discussion as to which one
should be beheaded last. These two
band, and a man named Liu, were the
disputants and each claimed the right
to see the other ones head taken off.
Liu claimed that Wong, being the
chief, ought to be executed first, but
Wong claimed that it was his right
as superior officer to see the fun at his
subordinates' expense. Finally it was
arranged with the assistance Of the
Chinese officers that the third man
should be executed first, Wong second
and Liu third.
"This being satisfactorily arranged,
Wong asked to be allowed to have a
last look around the country and made
a few facetious remarks and then
started to sing a Chinese song. See
ing some foreigners present he then
turned round and remarked to one Of
them, Hi, you foreign man, give us
a foreign song The foreigner ex-
pressed his inability, so Liu struck up
a native ditty and the trio prepared
for execution. On stripping off their
garments the means by which the con-
fessions, on the strength of which the
men were to die, had been obtained
were evident, as their backs were hor-
ribly lacerated and death was possibly
far preferable to the tortures which
they had undergone.
"The leader, Wong, in his confession
stated that he had acted as a scout for
the Japanese but as they had not paid
him for his work he had taken up the
bandit business of his own account,
There was much more describing the
raiding of villages, the holding up Of
merchants and the driving off of cattle
and horses. That he had been in the
employ of the Japanese is quite GER
tain, for the writer has seen him in
Sinmintun with a band of his fellows
accompanied by Japanese officers and
carrying a Japanese banner. He was
then wearing a green badge on his
arm with a white centerpiece with a
red dot on it and some Japanese char
acters, the badge of a scout in the
service"

HUNGER'S CAUSE AND EFFECT
Unpleasant Sensation as Described by
Medical Authority.

Hunger is the sensation felt because
OF the contraction of the muscularis
either of the pylorus or possibly also
the entire stomach or of the duode-
mum. or of the contraction of the
muscularis of all these structures. If
the contraction is more intense it Is
felt as a painful hunger. If the con-
traction is slight, then the sensation
OF the hunger is also of a slight de-
gree; 1t is evanescent.
Hunger is a lesser degree of pain
and is produced by the contraction of
the muscularis. This is the reason
why hunger passes away after a GER
tain lapse of time, even if no food has
been taken. 1t means simply that
the muscularis becomes tired and con-
traction gives way to relaxation. Alb
sence of contraction. the inability to
contract; relaxation, distention-
these being the opposite, the reverse
of contraction results in the opposite
of appetite, anoreXia, provided, how
ed by over-abundance of the irritating
acid gases. AnoreXia is the sensory
symptom of distention of the stomach
and upper portion of the intestine by
nonirritating gases, accompanied by
complete or partial relaxation of the
sphincter. This is the condition we
observe in chronic pyloritis, chronic
gastritis, and chronic inflammatory
conditions of the first portion of the
small intestine.-New York Post.

Africa's Great Trunk Line.

Railhead on the Cape to Cairo route
is now reported as $50 miles north Of
the Zambesi and as moving northward
at the rate of mile day. If this
rate of progress is continued only a
little more than two years will be re.
qulred for the completion of the line
to Lake Tanganyika, 1900 miles north
OF Cape Town. With steamer service
on that 400 mile waterway the south.
ern half of the Cape to Cairo route
should be in at least crude operation
before 1910. More than one-third of
the northern half of the line is COM
pleted and in operation.-New York

Look to Future Lumber Supply.

The rules and regulations adopted
by large lumber comapny in Louis
lana promise to so cut its timber that
it will never be exhausted, only the
surplus timber being cut and steps
being taken to plant all cleared areas
in young trees, say that there will al
ways be supply for the mills, and
it would be we'll if this policy were
generally pursued as measure of pro-
lection against inadequate supply in
the future

Analyslu Of Medicines open to All.

"There is ho public demand and
there is not the slightest public nee
essity for law compelling the publ
cation OF the formula OF proprietary
medicines" says the Committee on
Legislation of the Proprietary Asso-
citation. every Health Commissioner
and every Pure Food Commissioner
in the country, as well as every prl-
vate physician or chemist, II he
pleases, has the right to make an
analysis of any proprietary medicine
and to publish the result and to tell
the public what he thinks, and there
IS nothing in the world to prevent
such action. But that is not what the
agitators for such legislation want
Their object is to destroy the sale OF
such remedies entirely"

KOREA MADE WEALTHY BY WAR.
Millions Of Money Circulated in the
Hermit Nation,

Korea has filed its pocketbook with
the fruit of the war. Ever since the
naval actions of last February at Port
Arthur and Chemulpo there has been
a remarkable feeling of security in the
hermit nation, and the principal high
way being open, exceptional induce
ments to trade forced results which
could not have been hoped for during
peace. The Japanese and Russian
forces created an easy market for the
excellent crops OF cereals without the
trouble and expense of foreign trans
portation. Native labor was employed
on large scale in connection with the
movement of troops and railroad con-
struction, so that many millions of yen
were distributed among the people and
never before has the average Korean
had so much to spend or spent 1t with
such freedom. Cost of living, however,
has also increased for both native and
foreign population from so to 100 per
cent.

LABoRERs GIVEN PROPER CARE
Comforts introduced into Railway
Camps of Railroads.

Camps of Railroads.
railway boarding camp for the la
borers on railroads is perhaps the lat
est illustration of the generally recog-
nized principle that the better sur
roundings, moral and physical, the men
have the more and better work they
do. The gangs of railway laborers usu-
ally work out of reasonable distance of
towns, and are, therefore, practically
homeless, and must depend on the
companies for food, shelter, clothing,
and incidental necessities. The new
plan, as it has been carried out, fur
nishes complete boarding camp, in
GLIDING cold storage system, so that
fresh provisions may be at hand at
any place and time. Sleeping accom-
modations consist of the common box
cars provided by the company, to
which are added portable iron frame
work. On this framework are installed
wire mattresses with iron frames,
which provide plenty of room, clean
and sanitary surroundings, and album
dant ventilation.
