USE BEETLES FOR FEVER
Chinese Doctors Have Queer Ideas
Regarding Sickness, Says
Prof. ThWlnu.

President Thwing Of Western Re-
serve university, who has just return
ed from China, and who has inspected
Chinese medical schools and hospit-
ais, says that Chinese therapeutics is
as unscientific as Chinese diagnosis.
The human body has never been
dissected in China for medical pur-
poses The Chinese doctor thinks
that disease is conflict between the
spirit OF light and the spirit Of dark
ness within the sick man.
He finds in the sick man nine
pulses. If he has scarlet fever the
doctor may prescribe beetles, for
beetles shed their skin. But European
medicine Is already working great
changes.

CATCHING A LION CUB.

"Jim," South African native,
won the applause of his employer by
a feat which gave him among his
brethren the title of "The one who
conquers the waters" In "Jock of
the Bushveld" Sir James Percy Fitz-
patrick tells the story as related by
the boys employer:
We'll, it's really simple enough.
We came right on to the lioness wait
ing for us, and / got her, and then
there were shouts from the boys, and
l saw two cubs, pretty well grown,
making off in the grass.
THE boy Jim legged It after one
OF them, cub about as big as a New
foundland dog; not so high, but
longer.
Il followed as fast as I could, but
he was a big Zulu, and went like a
buck, yelling mad all the time. We
were in the bend of one of the long
pools down near Komati, and when l
got through the reeds the cub was at
the waters edge, facing Jim, and Jim
was dancing round it, heading 1t off
with only one light stick. AS soon as
1t saw us coming on the cub took to
the water, and Jim after 1t.
1T was as good as a play. Jim
swan up behind it, and putting his
hand on its head, ducked 1t right un-
der. The cub turned as 1t came up
and struck out at him viciously, but
he was back out of reach.
When 1t turned again to 60 Jim
ducked it again, and went on like
that six or eight times, till the thing
was half drowned and had no more
fight In it.
Then Jim got hold of It by the
tail and swan back to us, still shout
ing and quite mad with excitement.
"Of course" added Bob, with a
wag of his head, you can say 1t was
only cub, but it takes a good man
to go up naked and tackle a thing
like that, with teeth and claws to cut
you into ribbons"

WRECK OF THE SAGINAW.

WRECK OF The SAGINAW.
In an out of the way corner of one
of the huge buildings at the Naval
academy hangs boat which few vis-
itors have ever noticed. She is an
ordinary ships gig, twenty-six feet
long and decked with painted canvas,
on which lies a dusty placard bearing
the names of her crew and telling in
the fewest possible words the story
of her gallant voyage. Even at the
time the incident attracted little at
tention, for the papers were crowded
with the battles of the Franco-Prus-
sian war, and now 1t is only men,
ory among the older officers of the
navy; but it is too fine story to be
forgotten.
BY the 29th of October, 1870, the
U. S. S. Saginaw had finished dredg-
ing channel for Pacific mail steam
ers at Midway, and, following his in
structions, her commander, Capt.
Sicard, sailed that afternoon to take
a look at Ocean Island, about sixty
miles distant. During the night the
Saginaw was caught by strong cur
rent, and about 3 o'clock the follow
ing morning crashed upon a coral
reef. AS officers and men rushed on
deck, many were hurled back by the
torrents of water that poured down
the hatchways, and on gaining the
deck they found great seas breaking
over the ship, which drove every one
to place of safety in the rigging.
In few minutes the vessel was
forced so high on the rocks that the
seas were less dangerous and it was
possible to do something for the safe
ty of the crew.
1t was time to try the coolest
nerves. No one knew where they
were, for the darkness made it i'm
possible to see beyond the side of the
ship, which was rapidly pounding to
pieces. All the boats on one side
were smashed; then the smokestack
toppled over the side, followed by
the mainmast, which was chopped
away. About daybreak, or 6 o'clock,
the forward half of the ship broke
away and swung in further upon the
reef, but the dawn revealed within
the reef a small island-Ocean ISL
and itself. At the sight of land the
men cheered and worked with a will
to get the undamaged boats afoat
over the breakers to the shore. All
that day was spent in saving as much
of the provisions as possible, amount
ing to couple of barrels of pork and
O small quantity of canned vegetables
and coffee. Fortunately the carpen-
ter's chest also was saved, along with
the hammocks of the men, which
were used as tents.
On looking about, Ocean Island
proved to be a low sand pit, no.
where more than fourteen feet above
the level of the sea, and covered with
bushes. As there was no spring to
be found. dozen wells were dug.
but in every case the water proved
too brackish, and it looked as If the
seventy officers and men had escaped
drowning only to die miserably OF
thirst. Then, at the suggestion of
