HAS SUBSTITUTES FOR WIT
In Place of Sense of Ludicrous the Chinaman Uses Other
 Faculties.

Chinese school-teachers do not strengthen the brains of children with algebra and calculus but stuff them with Confueian morals, says a writer in the Chicago Record Herald. He further declares that in China he found no wit or imag- ination, but tells the following in cidents, which prove that the Chinaman has good unconscious subs stitutes for one or the other:
 One day in Shanghai, when was feeling sick, l called Chinaman to me and said: John, do you have good doctors in China ?"
 'Good doctors,"' he exclaimed. "China have best doctors in wo'ld.

Things Made Out of Paper.

The Krupp company at Essen is turning out field pieces made of paper. They have half the light ness of forged steel, but will en- dure an unusual strain. They are mounted on light carriages to be drawn by infantry. It is not gen erally remembered that the first use of paper for the manufacture of all kinds of domestic articles. boats and tables originated in Troy, N Y. In Russia houses are built of blocks of papier mache and have proved to be as durable as stone. The pulp is compressed un. der great weight that drives out al! moisture and renders the mass as hard as flint. In the far west pasteboard partitions are very common. They are highly objec, tionable when man with yigOr- ous and highly developed snore occupies the adjoining bedr0om.- Pittsburg Dispatch.

ONLY A GRASS WHOPPER.
Bits of Investigation Regarding Habits-Causes Harvesting of
 Big Wheat Crop.

Not all ingenuity either of re- source or fiction resides in Yankee dom. A farmer of southern Ne braSka had 40-acre lot of wheat and the promise of q big yield. when the grasshoppers descended ,upon him. But the farmer says that very soon after the hopper appeared, he made discovery which gave him the whip-hand He tells his own story in the Journal of his state.
 1 found that the grasshoppers were in the habit of climbing the wheat stalks every morning to spend the day feeding on my prop erty. l used to go out to the field ito see how they were getting on, and in my impatience at the liber- fies they were taking, I would oc- casionally strike clump of them as they hung on q stalk and knock them to the ground.
 After awhile l noticed that when a grasshopper was thus dis ri0dged he made no further effort to get his dinner, but remained on .7he ground until the regular time ito climb the stalk the next morn ing. Immediately 1 went and took our long wire elothes-line, and called my wife to come and help me. Between us we dragged the clothes-line all over that 40-acre field, knocking all the grasshop- pers to the ground. There they stayed until the next day.
 The next morning we gave the +hoppers just time to get well start ed up the stalks when we went out and repeated the performance of sthe day before. The result was .the same, and in the course of a flew days every grasshopper in .that field was dead of starvation. i Our neighbors came out every

Balloon Trips for the Jaded.

Dr. George Bull, an eminent eye specialist, agrees with Dr. Daulnoy in thinking that many diseases of the eye may be re- lieved by treatment in balloons at heights of 5000 to 6,000 feet. In an interview Dr. Bull suggest ed that the "balloon cure" might be popularized. Il would recom- mend,o he said, sthe institution of captive balloons outside all theaters and art galleries.

FRANKLIN FUND IS S4ff,ooo
puestion of Disposition of Famous Budget Puzzles Members of
 Boston Board.

By codicil to his will, dated in 17S9, Benjamin Franklin left $5,000 to the town of Boston. the fund to be managed by the select men and the pastors of three churches. The money was 10 be loaned in small sums at five per cent. to young married artificers who had served an Apprenticeship in the town, for whom two respon- sible citizens would become sure ties.
 By adding interest to principal it was estimated that in century he fund would amount to SG55. 600. Of this $500,000 was 10 be used in works of general utility and there mainder used as in the original be- quest
 Al the end of the second century the sum was expected to amount to $20, 305, ,000, of which $5.305. .000O was to be at the disposal of the town and the remainder to 20 to the state.
 When Bosom became a city the aldermen acted on the theory that they could otficiate in place of the selectmen, and some years ago were preparing to spend d great deal of money The ease went into court and 1t was decided that the aldermen had no authority to act. A new board has accordingly been constituted and has been giving hearings to determine how the money is to be expended.
 An interesting feature of this case is the failure of the fund to realize expectations in the way of growth.
 At the end of the first century II was less than $4O0.OOO. Young artlficers were not so anxious b borrow money at five per cent as was expected, not more than 400 loans of that sort having been made. Other investments were made, however, and the growth of the fund was considerable. It now amounts to S411,S47.6S in cash de. posted i'll single bank.
 The question what to do with it naturally attracts a good deal of attention. Under the will it may be expended in any sort of public works calculated to make living in the city more convenient to it's people or attractive to strangers.

colFFURE THAT TELLS AGE
Women of Japan Actually Display Their Cycle of Years ln
 the Hair.

No matter how many of the pret ty customs of Japan are adopted by the women of this country, We may be sure that they will never tell their age to a curious public by the arrangement of their halr, as their Japanese sisters do. EFt- dently the women of Japan do not share the western Women's Objec- ton to letting theirage be known, for they actually display their eY- cle of years in the arrangement of their hair. Girls from 3 to 13 wear the hair interIaeed with red crepe in a semicircIe around the head, the forehead being left free, with a curl at each side. From the age of 15 to 30, the hair is dressed high on the forehead and gathered up at the back in the shape of a butterfly or fan, with tWistings of silver cord and perhaps decora- tion of colored balls. Beyond the age of 30 a woman twists her hair around shell pin placed horizon tally at the back of the head. The widow has a coiffure peculiar to her condition, and the initiated can tell at a glance whether she de sires to marry again OF not. Fancy the publicity which lets the secret wishes of her heart be known so easily!

Saturday, August 18th was San
ions first big day, but not its last
however. We now feel able to
wipe a small town like Tucumcari
off the map. We have had a bar
cue. All the wcli-cookcd veal we
could eat, as well as tender NUT
ton. We had horse races, foot
races, mcrry-go-rounds, etc. The
townsite management is to be
commended on the success of their
undertaking, as the crowd fully
showed their appreciation OF the
hard work done by the committee
in charge to make the affair a sue
cess. For the first time in the
history OF the country we had to
divide ourselves into groups when
we came to partake OF the picnic
dinner, The long tables we're full
and some ate in wagons while
others were seated under the arbor.
When a railroad passes through
here, and it is sure to come, we ex-
pect to have another barbecue
which will far surpass this one.
