SOFT-EYED MEN OF PACIFIC
Loochoo Islanders Who Possess Most Winning and Remark
 able Optics.

A woman traveller who lately visited the Loochoo islands, in the Pacific, de- scribes her first impressions in the North China Herald. The first thing that struck her on landing was the fact that the coolies who tumbled lazily aboard her ship were "very much addict ed to the use of hats, and very little to the use of any other clothing" She continues: q can best describe the hats by an exclamation of one of our party, What beautiful waste paper baskets they'd make!' These hats were fastened on with loops of thick, brown, hairy palm rope, through which were passed cotton strings tied under the chin. Every mans face was ornament ed with a. thin, brownish black beard and mustache, and it was often hard to tell where the beard left off and the hairy rope began. Wisps of unkempt hair also struggled about the neck, giv- ing to the man the look of some savage creature. Taking in these details. my eyes came at last to the eyes of these seemingly wild savages, and To! looked into large, soft, black eyes, so wide apart, like those of the ruminating animals. And in their depths lurked a good-natured smile, just waiting to an swer one from me. I never got used to the incongruous effect of those gentle eyes and that fierce beard on each other."

COLLEGE GIRL AS MOTHER
Collection of Baby Pictures Shows Conclusive Evidence of
 Fitness.

An instructor at Vassar college has an odd and interesting collection of photo graphs-the photographs of the babies of young women who are college gradu- ates, says an exchange, are strong and beautiful. They number over 300. The instructor said of them:
 'I began to collect pictures of the children of female A. B.'s and A. M. s because had heard so much talk about the higher education uniting woman for her natural sphere, and so on.
 My collection proves that the high CT education makes mothers of an ex- cellece hitherto unknown. Highly edu- cated women don't weaken themselves with tight corsets, with overmuch danc- ing and card playing. They are athletic and strong. Their bodies as well as their minds are developed.
 "They enter upon the duties of moth erhood with a unique courage and wis dom and strength and the result is that their babies are the biggest, strongest, handsomest little creatures"
 She pointed toward the 300 photo graphs.
 But just look at those pictures, she cried Just look at them.'

CAPTURING THE WILD DUCK
Clever Scheme of the Chinese Is Sue. cessful Among the Wary
 Water Fowl.

A full-grown wild duck is one of the most wary of all wild creatures A wa terman may be working all day long
 with shovel and pickax, says the author of Bird Life and Lore, barely stones | throw from a large flock of widgeon and wild ducks, and they will not notice him, for they know that he means them no harm. But let a sportsman enter the meadows and hide his gun ever So care fully, and make himself ever so small. it is ten to one that they will rise i'll cloud when he is some four gunshots away from them, and take themselves off to place of greater safety.
 There is one method of taking wild ducks in considerable numbers, prac ticed in China and in some other coun-
 tries, which is so amusing and so little known as to deserve notice.
 | The natives take care that a large number of big calabashes, or sourds, should always be left floating on the wa ter frequented by the birds, till they get to regard them as part and parcel of their resorts The duck hunter chooses his time, and, putting one or the calabashes, with holes cut for his mouth and eyes, upon his head, he wades through the lake, taking care to keep the whole of his body well be- heath the surface. He cautiously ap- breaches the unsuspecting wild fowl, and, catching one of them by the leg, pulls him, with a sudden jerk, beneath the water, causing hardly more commo- tion of the surface than the duck itself often makes when it dives, or plashes, or plunges for it's food. He wrings it's neck under the water and fastens it to his belt Then he deals with another and another in the same fashion, till he makes his retreat, equally unnoticed, with whole girdleful of captured wild ducks round his waist

NEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
'Musher" Will Be There the First When a Gold Stampede
 Is Started.

There is popular belief in the ex- treme northwest that the north pole will be discovered by musher. and not by any scientific polar expedition, says
 he Sunset Magazine This belief is
 ased on the conviction that d gold stampede will eventually be started toward north latitude 90 degrees, and
 hat the mushers will rush in where arctic explorers have feared to tread. So completely unknown to fame is this newcomer in the race for the pole that to the majority of people the name sug- gests nothing but cereal breakfast food. Gilbert Parker, the novelist who finds his most congenial theme in French Canadian life, has made his read- CTS familiar with "Marche-t'- '-en!" tha cry with which drivers of dog teams urge forward their panting animals. French Canadian trappers were among the earliest white men in the far north- west, and American prospectors on the Yukon soon learned to goad their dogs on with the same cry, without, however, understanding the French, which, in their mouths, was rapidly corrupted to "Muchon!" to this day an Alaska dog drivers equivalent for Gee up!'
 Dog drivers generally rush with the team and therefore from "Mush- on" has come the noun musher, used all over Alaska and the Yukon territory to des- ignate attrailsman. The musher is gen. erally prospector, stampeder and trails man all rolled into one, and Alaska trails are such uncertain quantities that he has frequently to make his own prece- dents over newly frozen sea and track less snow. The musher achieves most of his stampeding to new gold fields dur ing the arctic winter, for then the rigid sea becomes 8 highway and mighty rivers need no bridging.

RAVACES OF THE SOUVENIR
What Was Once a Harmless Fad Has Become Almost a Univer-
 sal Mania

The vogue of the illustrated souvenir postal card has assumed the dimensions of literary peril. What was once . harmless fad confined to more or less ec- centric visitors in out of -theway places has become all but universal mania. says the New York Post. The Boston post office reports handling 25,000 of these yellow imps in a single day. The so-called comic valentine once tainted the postman's bag. It's influence, how ever, lasted but for day, while the sou- venir postal card ceaseth not day nor night to cry for destroyer.
 From the point of view of growing popularity these postal cards but evil dence anew the danger with which modern mechanism is continually en- composing the other handicraft arts. The printed book has driven out illus trated missal. "The quartersawed oak of Kalamazoo has displaced Chippen- dale and Sheraton And at last the illus trated postal, with cheap readymade sentiment and chromo Autograph threatens the letter of friendship, travel and description. The residuary field of the epistolary art was long supposed to be safe from the inroads of the printing press. Political intelligence such as fills Horace Walpole's six stout vol umes of private letters has for over q century been disseminated in the news papers, Scientific news has long since found similar media of publicity. But the intimate unbosoming of friend to friend at distance has held at bayy all the devices of modern machinery until the advent of this substitute for real letter.

Cento Books.

"This volume," said the bibliophile, lis cento. It is composed of de- tached sentences taken from the works of Thackery It makes a novel, sen sible, but short, and it was composed in seven years by a bed-ridden baron ess. The best known cento is probably the Empress Eudozie's Life of Christ, made entirely of lines from Homer. There is similar life composed by Ross, that consists wholly of detached lines from Virgil. Centos are often
 very valuable. One compiled by Alex ander Hamilton from Milton's Para disc Lost sold not long since for $500. The book was a history of America. "

SPEAKING WITH EMPHASIS.
Calisthenics Accompany the Words of Neapolitans When Dis
 cussing Weather.

Give Neapolitan pair of dumb bells and ask him if he thinks it is like ly to rain, and before his answer is finished he will have taken enough healthful exercise to last him all day." Once, says the London Clarion, trav- eler sat with a friend in cafe at Naples. Near them were two Italians engaged in conversation. The younger of the two seemed much excited. With his hands he made reaching and clinging notions as if climbing Then he seemed to be groping for cherries in the air, as he reached right and left i above his head Next, without slacken- ing his conversation, he put the thumb and forefinger of his left hand together, and holding them befOr his eyes, went through the careful movements of one threading a small needle, and all the time he talked.
 Suddenly his manner changed. He made overland notions as if throwing something. Then he apparently initiated a swimmer, and immediately afterward described several circles with his left hand, giving the impression of rapid ly revolving wheel.
 Finally he leaned forward, and with his right hand acted the part of a per son endeavoring to put key into key hole.
 The traveller was overcome by curios- ity. He turned to his friend, who un- derstood Italian. and asked him what the plot of the story was.
 "Oh, nothing,'T replied the other. They're chatting about the weather"

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot wealth er
OF the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS a rule it is only
necessary to give the child dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder OF the
bowels. Do not use any substitute,
but give the old fashioned castor oil
and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has a tendency to gripe.
Ii this does not. the bowels give
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diar.
rhoea Remedy and then dose of cas-
tor oil, and then the disease may be
checked IN its incipiency and all dan
ger avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once and
kept ready for instant use as soon as
the first indication Of any bowel trouble
appears. This is the most successful
treatment known and may be relied
upon with implicit confidence even in
cholera infantum. For sale by SWIM

YELLOW Fever
There is No Occasion for Alarm.
Remember the Lessons of the
Epidemic of 1898.

As we are now threatened with an
other visitation oil the dreaded yellow
fever 1t is we'll to remember the expert
ences of the last occasion. In all Sec
tions where the yellow fever made its
appearance it will be recalled that per-
sons who kept their stomach, liver and
bowels strong and active were not af-
fected by the disease; while the others
apparently healthy we're stricken down.
These latter we're all more or less hab-
itually constipated, bilious or victims
OF bad digestion; as result the blood
became impure and the vital organs
we're unable to resist the deadly fever
germs. Now is the time TO prepare for
what is to follow. Get your family and
yourself IN shape to resist the disease.
You don't know when you are exposed
to it, every man you meet may be af-
fected and il you put off your prepara-
tions from day to day you may be too
late. The sensible course is, to begin at
once taking Prickly Ash Bitters; that
marvellous system regulator and blood
purifier Use it regularly every day.
Half wine glassful each morning af-
ter breakfast will keep your bowels op-
en- and healthy, 1t will also strengthen
the bowels and digestion, purify the
blood and by stimulating the liver and
kidneys all bile and uric acid impuri-
ties will be driven out of the body. In
short, it puts the system in perfect or
der. Remember 1898. That was rec.
ord for Priekly Ash Bltters In the
sections where it was used the most
there were fewest cases Of fever. You
cannot do better in this hour of danger
than to make use OF the means which
experience has proven to be the best
for fighting OF this terrible scourge.
