MAY PUT BAN ON QUEUE.
Chinese Government Said to Be Con-
sidering the Adjustment of Old
Style Appendage.

Some time ago it was announced
that the members of a Chinese
revolutionary reform movement
had decided to abandon the Gus
tom of wearing the queue, and
that hundreds of the Chinese in
New York and California colonies
were cutting that hirsute append
age. The Chronicle expressed it's
incredulity Of the revolutionary
source of the reform at the time
the announcement was made on
the ground that the cutting of the
queue would be a distinguishing
mark of the disloyalty to the i'm
perial dynasy of the Chinese who
submitted to it, and be an absolute
bar to his return to his own coun.
try.
According to the local Chinese
papers, the inspiration favoring
queue cutting comes from an i'm
perial and not from a revolution
ary source. These papers repre-
sent that a mandate directing the
cutting of the queue is being seri-
ously considered by the Chinese
government, and it's issuance at
an early date is anticipated. 1t is
expected that within the next six
months the custom of wearing
queues will disappear entirely in
the local colony.
If the Chinese government is
contemplating the issuance of
such a reformatory order it has
doubtless been Influenced in it's
course largely by the example set
by Japan, which, before it's adop-
tlon of western civiliza ton, was a
queue-Wearing nation. Whether
the wearing Of the queue by the
| Chinese grew out of condition of
servility or possesses a special re
| hgious significance, its abolition
will mark the abandonment of one
of China's Oldest and most per
sistently cherished traditions.
But it will be accepted generally
as the initial step of the Chinese
government toward the modern
ization of the nation. If the gov
ernment favors the change there
can be no doubt that the people
will promptly comply with its
edict.

ASPHALT COMES FROM LAKE
Venezuela Bodies of Water Are Source
of Chief Supply of Great Com
mercial Product

Although the asphalt lakes Of
Trinidad and Venezuela furnish
over so per cent. of the asphalt
used, small deposits are found in
the limestone of Val de Trivas, in
Switzerland; Seyssel, on the
Rhone; Cuba and America, de-
clares a writer in the New York
Tribune. The largest South
American asphalt lake consists Of
d dark brownish deposit of a semi
fluid and semi-solid substance sur
rounded by banks from three to
six feet high. In the center Of this
lake is continual election OF hot
fluid asphalt, accompanied by
large bubbles of gas.
The dark-skinned workmen ex-
cavate it il pieces weighing in the
neighborhGod of 25 pounds, sec
tions 40 feet in area and about four
feet deep being worked at one
time. AS quickly as freed from
its surroundings it is placed in
large tubs, resting upon small
fat topped tramcars operated
upon narrow gauge road. The
entire surface is constantly NOV
ing, thus necessitating a continual
relaying of the tracks.
The freshly excavated asphalt is
conveyed to the shore, where the
tubs are lifted by hydraulic power
to an aerial tramway, by which ii
is conveyed to a large wharf sit
uated on the Guanoco river, about
five miles distant from the lake.
Here it is weighed and dumped
| into the vessels which convey it to
the foreign lands.
Upon its arrival at a factory it
is heated until the water is ex-
PEELED and the certify M; So J.
cast to the bottom of the .;;,,.eA
vats, and it is poured through 4
sieve into barrels, where it solidi-
| fies. 1t is then ready for COM
merce.

A rather remarkable state Of az
fairs has developed in two islands.
Zanzibar and Pemba, off the Airi.
can coast, IS the result Of a gov
erDment decree abolishing slavery.
Despite the fact that any slave can
now obtain his freedom for the
asking, and that they al know it,
very few have as yet applied for
liberty. The reason for this IL,
according to MI. J. T.. Last, a
Zanzibar official, that the slaves
have discovered freedom to be any
thing but a bed OF roses. They
have learned that they lose
more than they gain by leaving
their owners. "fThe slave Of the
present day." writes Mr.. Last,
has all the legal privileges
OF a free person, is in much
the same position as an ordinary
servant at home. He is in some
respects in a better position than
the European servant, for he can
practically do as little work as he
pleases, and he is at liberty to
leave his owner whenever he
thinks fit. I am strongly Of the
opinion that the number Of slaves
who will apply to be freed by the
Zanzibar government in the future
will be very small, and in the case
Of those that do so it will be the
result of some piQue, dispute, or
jealousy rather than from love of
freedom for ITSELF"

above all, q woman who has had
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases OF
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
hdenee of women. and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done so with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, Of 412 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes;
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
covers year agoI Wroteyou aletter asking
advice, as / had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. / received your

sequence, but have a beautiful baby girl. !
wish every suffering womanin the land would
write you for advice, as you a done 50
muchfor me.n
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, viii Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form Of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such q record Of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia e. Pinkham's

tute which a druggist may offer,
