that despite the recent ten days idIeness

This indicates that the present move
ment Is at an unprecedented rate and that
predictions of record tonnage being
brought down this season will be realized.

SOME CHINESE JOKES.

If there is any truth in what expert jes-

tain Hierocles. who lived some 1,5o0 years
ago. put the number in his day at exactly
twenty-one. The researches of Hierocles
probably did not extend far eastward as
China, so there is no improperly in asking
now whether some of the jokes which
abound in the literature of the Celestial
empire are entitled to the honor of origi-
nality or not. Here are three specimens:

Instead OF resulting in the indictment OF

thority. will include the Indictment of four,

Business Benevolence.

From Cent Per Cent.
The real basis OF every public enterprise
ought to be a benevolent one-a genuine
desire to promote the well-being of others
And to that we are working back. and one
OF the most noteworthy examples of the
return to old-fashioned integrity and fell
low citizenship combined with new fash
toned enterprise Is seen In the methods of
some OF the Industrial companies, where a
group of competent practical men secure
the basis of large business or CONNER
cial opportunity, and divide the capital
stock into units small enough to admit
men of modest means, frequently on the
installInent payment plan. The result Is
that the aggregate OF small savings has be-
come 80 large that millions of dollars are
paid out every year in dividends to hun
dreds OF thousands OF persons OF moderate
means who otherwise would be receiving
little or nothing, and, indeed, In many In
stances. would have saved nothing.

Cakes Are all Right.
From the New York Sun.


do you know why griddie cakes hurt
your? demands the high apostle of Fletch-

into the stomach without being properly

gestible.
''As soon as it enters the stomach it be-
comes acid and interferes with everything
it meets. Had the cakes been properly
masticated and mixed with the saliva. the
cane sugar would have become crane sugar,
and in this form 1t is easily digested.
why Is it that stout people are advised
to avoid starchy foods? Potatoes eaten

Bacon and Eggs.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
From sanguine San Francisco comes
word of a common diet of bacon and eggs
1t is the diet that does things. American
widernesses have been conquered, cities
begun and mines opened on bacon with
or without eggs. Armies have marched on
the same rations, bringing relief to friends
and trouble to foes. The frying Of the
fitch, as an essential incident of life on
the plain and in the forest, throws savory
suggestion from the pages OF pioneer story
and history.
The dispatches bring note of regret for
the earthquake-riven restaurants and clubs
of late Golden Gate high life. They are not
worth the mourning. Besides. they will
rise again. With them temporarily are
banished dyspepsia and tendency to govt.
Whoever heard of great deed done or a
great victory won on chicken patties a Ia
