Oddly enough, these queer people
who live between China and Japan with
a mixture of the population of the two
countries which are the real home of
the parasol and the umbrella, have
nothing of that kind themselves. On a
wet day all the male population who
can afford it appear in coats and hats
of oiled paper, and wearing wooden
clogs which raise them out of the muck
and mire. The women wear on their
heads on rainy days a frame work of
bamboo covered with the same inval-
liable oiled paper. This oiled paper is
carried all the time folded like fan
and stuck in the belt. When the rain
comes this queer umbrella is pulled
out. opened up and drawn over the
other headgear. This thing is called a
"kat-no."

are not so many. but they are fearfully
and wonderfully made. The main gar
ment for men is a pair of pants.
These deform and never by any means
adorn the man who wears them. They
are made of white cotton. are padded
stiff with cotton wool, and each leg is
big enough to get the whole body in.
They reach from the chin to the feet
and then some. When a man puts these
queer things on he holds them up round
his neck by his teeth as woman holds
pillow to adjust the slip, and then he
ties the things somewhere in the region
of his waist and under his arm pits.
The ribbon that ties them usually has
tassels, and the bow is adjusted on the
side, hanging gracefully down. When
this has been successfully accomplished
the extra length of trousers is rolled up
round the feet to keep from treading
on them, and there are tied. No under
clothes are worn at all, nothing but
these pants. Over this is drawn a
tight-in-the-arm-s size coat, bell shaped
at the bottom and padded like the un-
mentionables. and it reaches almost to
the calves OF the legs. 1t OVerlaps on

Then come the padded socks, into which
pants are tucked, and tied with ribbons

walled towns present no protection from

leap like cats from the ramparts and
disappear into the tnickets beyond, the

is always sure TO be depleted by two or

They have superstition that a tiger al

people walking tandem, so to speak.

The Spleen.

The spleen? Up to 1900 no physician
dared to stand up in clinic and tell
what it was made for. For ages it
was supposed to be the organ of irasci-
bility. "Oh, his spleen is upv' meant
that the old man was hot in the collar.

herb called "spleenwort," which was
supposed to remove such splenetic dis
orders as i'll humor, melancholy and IL
ritability. | saw a spleen the other
day for the first time and was astound-
ed. 1t was soft, highly vascular,
plum colored thing with smooth sur
face. 1t was nearly six inches in
length and weighed seven ounces. Now
here is the funny feature of the spleen:
After a hearty meal it is very much
smaller than at other times, which
may help to explain why a man is
good natured after dinner In diseased
conditions the spleen may reach a
weight Of eighteen or twenty pounds

THE BRITISH BREAKFAST.

Food Is Substantial.

Trying In It's Monotony, Though the
Food Is Substantial.
A distinguished author once describ-
ed an unripe persimmon as a fine in
centive to generosity. since we would
rather give it to another than eat it
ourselves. And perhaps the English
breakfast may be likened to the early
persimmOn.
Monotony is the keynote of the early
meal in a British household-not but
that the food is good and substantial,
but there is a sameness year in and
indeed to an American. Here is a list
of eatables and drinkables made up
from the breakfast menu of ten middle
class English households and ten pure
ly English hotels:
Porridge, served with sugar and
milk; ham and eggs, eggs and bacon,
grilled ham, boiled and poached eggs,
fried sausages, dried fish (herrings or
haddocks), dry toast, white or brown
bread and butter, marmalade or jam,
tea or coffee.
The man or woman who has been ac-
customed to break the fast with wheat
cakes and maple sirup, followed by
grilled blueish and juicy porter
house or pork tenderloin, helped out by
freshly ground coffee, cranberry jelly,
Virginian honey and a choice of hun
dred or more delights in the way of
bread and freshly baked cakes, sits
down to breakfast in England with q
sigh.-From Derrick's British Report

The formula of DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will bear the most critical
examination of medical experts, for it
contains no alcohol, so injurious to deli
cate women even in small quantities
when long continued. Neither does it
contain any narcotics, or other harmful,
or habit-forming drugs and no agent
enters into it that is not highly recon-
mended by the most advanced and
leading medical teachers and au-
thorltles OF their several schools of
practice. These authorities recommend
the ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Favorite

Judge Thacher in reply had playfully
suggested that perhaps a goose might
suit the gentleman, as it was rather a
humble and republican bird and would
also be serviceable in other respects,
as the goslings would answer to place

This reply created considerable mer-

A Curiosity About Eclipses.

The average number of total and
partial eclipses in any one year is four,
the maximum seven and the minimum
two. There is nothing really peculiar
in this except the fact that where only
two occur they are always both of the
sun. There are more solar than lunar
eclipses, but the sun being so much
larger than the earth or moon the
shadow terminates in point and is
visible only along a narrow track,
while the lunar observation is fire.
Quently visible over half a continent.
