Higher Chinese Educ.t,on.

Many of our people think of China
as land of ignorant coolies who are
SO inferior to ourselves as to rise
scarcely to the plane of human beings.
The fact is that China contains great.
er number of educated and cultivated
people than any other country In the
world. Their culture is not like ours.
but 1t is based upon long study of lit
erature. ethics and philosophy, and it
has been transmitted through MANY
generations. The Chinese have not
well learned how to act together. 9th
erwise we should never have dared to
treat them recklessly and unfairly

Catching Cold.

Very severe colds are caught indoors,
the result Of indigestion or foul air. A
cold is frequently brought on by eat
ing hearty dinner, becoming mentally
absorbed for two or three hours i'm
mediately afterward and retiring to a
warm, close room. The food is not
digested. the temperature of the body
is raised by the exertions of the stom-
ach. the sleep is broken, and the In
dividual rises chilled and Ill. Had re-
Taxation followed the dinner and the
room been supplied with refreshing air,
everything would have been different.

Queer Statutes That Governed We'd
dings and Wearing Apparel.
Switzerland had a law that no we'd
ding party should have more than
twenty guests-ten men friends of the
bridegroom and ten women friends of
the bride No wedding procession was
permitted to have more than two sing
ers, two fiddlers and two trumpeters.
Married women were forbidden to
wear silk or decorated hoods, though
maidens might No woman, whether
married or unmarried, was allowed to
wear any dress in which the opening
for the neck was so large that it did
not lie at least two inches wide upon
the shoulders, and the gown must not
be buttoned or laced up in front or at
the side. To restrain the fashion of
long pointed shoes it was enacted that
no person of either sex should wear
shoe with point extending beyond the
foot enough to allow anything tO.be in
serted in it, nor was any woman or
girl permitted to wear laced shoes. No
man or boy should wear coat that
did not reach to the knee. Garments
were forbidden to be slashcd so as to
show different coIors or kinds of mate
rial. and trousers were required to be
made without stripes and both legs of
.he same color In 1870 one Swiss can
ton in council assembled enacted that
hereafter no one shall make points Of
shoes or boots longer than one joint of
the finger and if any shoemaker shall
make them longer he shall be fined FL,
as also the person wearing them.-Lon,

Atlanta
Americus people are now busily en-
gagged in running down possible steg-
omyia fasciata mosquitoes, the kind
that carry yellow fever in their grips,
since from Atlanta came the news yes
terday that the t'stegs" were plentiful
there. In fact. they appear to be abun-
dant, and DOW Atlanta is lodging and
sidestepplng at greater rate than at
any time since Mayor Jeems came
home from Toledo. And if the stego-
myia fasciata will deign to stop in At
lanta, is ii not fair TO assume that they
would get off at Amerlcus as we'll?
There are 800 varieties of mos quito, &C.
cording to the scientists, only one of
which scatters yellow fever germs, but
if the mosquito is captured and care
fully examined before it bites all dan
ger may be averted. One cannot be
too careful in giving the stegomyia
fasciata plenty of room, or slap with
wet towel.

A QUAINT OLD CITY.

Bruges, the Chief Industry of Which
Is Lace Making.
Bruges lace has been made in the
converts of Bruges by old women
whose hands have grown stiff clicking
the bObbins back and forth, who learn
ed when they were children from other
old women, who in turn had learned it
from other old women, and so on back
for hundreds of years. Lace making is
the chief industry of this city of Bel
GUM, the capital of the province of
West Flanders, but that it has not
made for the prosperity Of the place
is attested by the fact that in a popu-
lation of something like $4,000 there
are $4,000 paupers. 1t is very quaint
old city, the corporation of weavers of
Bruges having been celebrated in the
time of Charlemagne. 1t reached the
height of its prosperity in the fifteenth
century, when it was one Of the great
commercial emporiums of the world
and was famed far and wide for its
tapestries. The great prosperity, how
ever, led to such extravagant habits in
dress and social life that Charles V.
was obliged to pass stringent Sumptu-
airy laws. Complications between sub
sequent rulers and the people led to
the removal of all trade to Antwerp
| and the ruin of Bruges as 9 CONNER

it's lace have been imperishgble.-New

A whales JaVvb6nes.

The jawbones of a whale are some
times twenty feet in length, and the
mouth, when wide open, is II by Is
feet. The throat, however, is so small
as scarcely to admit a ben's egg. The
whale gets his living by straining the
animalculae and small fish out of the
water he takes into his capacious
mouth. 1t must be slow work, but
then he has plenty of time and nothing
else to do, so he attends to his eating
so regularly that he often accumulates
a ton of oil in his bulky system.
