 in China r

T had friend who came very near losing his life in the interior of China from his lack of knowledge of the su- perstitions of the natives said T. H Gum. Of New York, relates the wash ington Post.
 This friend was . mining enginepr. and he had found rich vein of coal in which he proceeded to do . little dig. ging. to the intense horror and fercs anger of the people of the vicinity. So outraged were they at his impious act that he was nercely set upon by . frenzied mob. and but for the timely interference would have been slain. He had. innocently enough. insulted one of the greatest Chinese dignitarfex. Flung Shui. which in English means the spirit of the ground Now in turning up the earth the home of this spirit is violated. and hence no true Chinaman will ever do any mining b. cause it is an insult to Fung ShuI
 Any irreverenee to this subter ranean deity is certain of punishment, according 10 the Mongolian belief The invasion of his regions is sure to be followed by. droughts and failure of crops. if not by pestiIence and famine. This adorafIon of Flung shui is. Of course. confined almos; entirely to the peasant class. the farmers of the ru- rzl districts. but fl is a superstition that has been handed down for genera tions. and fl cannot be dissipated in . day

The tightless. short-skirted bouquet of moonbeams which constitute the chorus of Marie Cahill's new. smart musical success.

Probably in New Yorl, city no actress has received greater personal tribute than was given Miss Cahill at her opening performance. and her reception lIere at I'oli's to- MOTION night ought to be warm.

 ME AND MY MOTOR

L.. had some thought of going in for a motor-bicycle, as being efficient, when my eye fell on a most alluring advertisement of tricycle.. and it seemed reasonable that a three wheeled conveyance would be more stable than one with two My esti mate was quite accurate. I have no fault to find with it's stability. It has been in the stable ever since the first day
 The former owner was not going to purchase bigger car: he merely had no room on his premises for this one, and was consequently willing to sell at sacrifice. asked him if he would ride it out to my place and give me few hints on working it. He agreed to this, and I paid deposit
 The exultation of purchase died down slightly after I left the shop.

 admit all his good qualities, and to my eye he has only one blem- ish, although that blemish is looked upon by the rest as proof that he has larger stock of common sense than I am furnished with The fault is. that whenever he meets a motor. car he instantly endeavors to climb the nearest tree.
 It happened that on a particular Wednesday distinguished Hi bernian, Paddy something, was to play the piano at an afternoon con- cert, and the whole family-except myself-resolved to hear him. I en- couraged this. because music has an elevating tendency; besides, it left me a clear day at home to practice on an instrument, which. if all things said of it were true, might prove more elevating than any piano ever constructed
 I wrote to the machinist man tell. ing him he might deliver the motor. cycle at my house next Wednesday morning.
 He came choo-chooing in at my front gate at about H. The machine was evidently as easy to work as a Waterbury watch. He described some graceful curves on the drive and then dashed out into the road again. There is gentle declivity westward from the gate, and down this I took my first ride on the thing. landing up in the hedge. because thought it steered exactly like bicycle, which the man informed me was not the case. after had practical proof that it wasn't. I then went into the house, wrote out a check. handed it to him, and he departed joyously.

VAUDEVILLE.

The second week of the new year
 was ushered in at the Jacques this af- ternoon by bill which measures up we'll with the standard set by those of the preceding two. The headliner is Miss Kitty Traney, a recent importa- tion from the concert gardens of Flu rope. who made tremendous hit at Hammerstein's Victoria this season for four consecutive months. and who will in all likeiihood repeat the success here. Miss Traney is an accomplished and beautiful woman. who combines great bodily strength with unusual skill as a juggler and keen intelligence as an animal trainer. Personal attrae- tiveness joined to genuine talent is the secret of her success. and the comblna- ton is one to which the patrons of the Jacques are happily susceptible. The Four Avolos. who come to Waterbury from a protracted engagement at the New York HippOdrome. are the lead CTS of the subordinate features Of the bill and their marvellous interpretation of the xylophone is one of the really artictic musical achievements of the variety stage. Howard Truesdel, and company are giving their well known and popular one act comedy. Aunt Louisa's Advice" which made a good impression here a year ago. The cast has been enlarged since and the action to a greater degree of per lection. Its finish is one glorious laugh. Augusta Close. ill her musical Kelly and Reno. in a breakneck comedy skit: Brandon and Wiley. negro singers and dancers: Larvette. and the electrograph com plete the bill.

AN EVERYDAY STRUGGLE.

Any work that is a constant strain on the back is bound to hurt the kid neys. The lifting, digging and plant ing of farm work, the constant bend ing over a desk or sitting at sewing machine, working for hours on jarring. jolting wagons or railroad trains: the stopped positions and the reaching. pulling and heavy lifting of a hundred different trades-all these are hard on the back and must wear. weaken and iniure the kidneys. because the kid neys are in the very part of the back that feels the strain. When the kid neys are sick. every exertion sends sharp. stinging pain through the back or loins. and you are weary and tired all the time.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have cured thou sands of working men and women- have given them strong backs for their daily work. Doan's Kidney Pills help the kidneys to do their duty-to eiim- mate the liquid poisons from the blood and to send pure. health-giving blood 10 the muscles and organs. We would sincerely advise every man or woman whose work is hard on the back to take an occasional dose of Doan's Kid ney Pills It will keep the kidneys well and the back strong. and keeping the kidneys well is half the task of keeDinc the body well.
