OBJECT ro POST OFFICE NAME.
Residents Of Skiddoo, Pa, Want Gov
eminent to Change It.

Franklin, Pa.-The name of Cherry
tree was given recently to what was
formerly Grant, In Indiana county.
The local postmaster was asked to
suggest another name for the erst.
while Cherrytree, name it has borne
for more than 30 years.
He proposed change of name, so
that, as Grant had taken their name,
they should take the name of Grant
This was rejected on the ground that
the exchange of names might lead to
confusion.
This taxed the inventive faculties
OF the postmaster, who asked his lit
tie daughter to select a name and
she suggested Skiddoo. This sugges.
ton the proud father forwarded to
Washington. The authorities prompt
ly accepted. The older residents OF
the community, however, are by no
means pleased with the name. They
point out the terrible evils wrought
by the indiscriminate use of slang
and its gradual incorporation into the
language, and they want still another
change made.

A sac, 1000 TREASURY ROBBERY.
Clever Work Of Detective Revealed
the Thief.

The robbery OF the sub-treasury in
Chicago recalls the fact that the
treasury department in Washington
was the victim of $4,000 theft about
30 years ago. At first, although no
reasonable explanation Of how the
thing could have been done by an out
slider could be given, it was assumed
that 1t was the work Of some one I'M
connected with the office In which the
robbery occurred. 1t was not long,
however, before a clever detective
became acquainted with the fact that
one of the clerks who might have had
access to the bundle of bills was &C.
quainted with professional gambler
of shady antecedents. That discovery
solved the problem. A little patient
watching resulted in catching the
gambler with the stolen notes, and
the rest was easy. The clerk was ar
rested, and, while in confinement, was
given to understand that he was be-
trayed, whereupon he confessed the
robbery, which was accomplished by
showing the package OF notes, all OF
large denominations, into position
where they could be "snaked up
with a cane provided with a hook.

Clever Trick OF Tramp.

A queer comedy of cheating is now
causing much amusement in Paris.
A laborer named Bedasne, living at
KNOXVILLE, in the Eure ct Loir, went
to Melun with two pounds in his
pocket. Having spent this in liquor,
he conceived the idea of getting on
to Paris for nothing.
Finding an empty third-class COM

round his neck, stuffed handkerchief
into his mouth, pitched his empty
purse onto the opposite seat and, ly.

when Paris was reached, refused to
give any sign Of life till the alarmed
station stan poured a cordial into his
mouth.
Then he was taken to q hospital,
where he told a story OF being at.
tackled by three men, but police ques,
tons becoming too difficult, he at

MAGICAL CURES.

'se's OF the Orient That Arc Appealed
to In Case of Sickness.
:. VI magical methods used to cure
olsease writer in the Scientific
:. says: Powerful aid is be.
neved to be rendered by the various
gods and goddesses in China. India
Java Korea and other countries in
exercising disease. The Hindoc
goddess who had a experimenting
power over smallpox, for example
was approached with solemn cere
monies and presents to propitiate
ner. She was represented as stand
ing with two uplifted fingers,
threatening to strike on the right
and left. Before her was band of
the executors of her vengeance, two
OF them with red grinning masks,
black shields and naked scimiters.
White lines, like rays, issued from
the bodies of the others to indicate
infection. On the right was group
OF men with spotted bodies afflicted
with the malady. Bells were hung
at their cinctures, and few of them
waved black feathers. These were
preceded by musicians with drums,
who supplicated the pity Of the flu
rious deity.
"From behind her advanced a
bevy of smiling young women,
gracefully carrying on their heads
baskets with Thanksgiving offerings,
IN gratitude for their lives and beau
ty having been spared. A little boy
with a bell at his girdle conveyed
something emblematic of inocula-
ton from the arm of the goddess.
BY such means and humble inter-
cesslon the benign goddess grad
ually stayed her fury, and the dis
eased were thus made whole or were
at least supposed to be cured, which
appears to have answered just as
well. In Java some idols are provid-
ed with bells for calling the, atten-
ton of the god and goddess to the
need of their exercising sacred pow
ers in behalf of the sick and unfor-
tunate.
"Akin to this blind faith is the
credulity of some classes Of Japa-
nese, whose doctors know very little
more of anatomy and physiology
than the patients themselves, and
for purposes of diagnosis they rely
mainly on the pulse. Three pulses
are found to be in each wrist, they
explain-viz, the heart, controlling
the right upper pulse; the lungs,
the left upper pulse; the stomach,
the right middle pulse; the liver,
the left middle pulse; the right kid
ney, the right lower pulse, and the
left kidney, the left lower pulse.
Thus by a careful examination of
the six pulses the doctor at once
discovers what is the matter with
the patient and proceeds in his own
way to effect cure.
'In Korea and among the North
American Indians images are made
out of various materials, each kind
having a peculiar power over some
special form of disease. Thus the
Zuni Indian makes a clay image to
represent a mountain lion, and the
spirit of that animal, which is the
guardian of the northwest and the
master of the gods of the hunt,
comes to dwell in that object, pro-
tecting the owner from injury by
accident and helping him to success
in the chase. A Korean sorcerer's
image, stuffed and covered with
buckskin, is used to avert calamity
and death"
