PASSING OF RURAL STORE
Beginning May First Stores
Closed at 600 O'clock

Sixteen years ago the stores Of this
city kept open every night in the
week and all morning on Sundays.
The people thought that they couldn't
get along unless the stores were open
at all times and the merchants thought
they had to keep open to accommo-
date the public. That was long
time ago and the stores were about
the only place where man could go
to spend the evenings. He would al
ways find from one to a dozen OF his
! friends gathered around the store
seated on cracker boxes, sugar barrels
or lounging on the counter, smoking
their pipes, chewing tobacco and tell
ing stories. The stores were kept
open more for sociabilities sake than
for business purposes and those who
came in to gossip and not to buy.
But Grand Rapids has grown in the
past sixteen years and has become
more citifed. The merchants Of the
city no more keep country stores but
have up-to-date business houses in
which there is no placesfor loafer.
The city has places for recreation now
in parks, Libraries and reading rooms.
The merchants first step in passing
from owner of a country store to pro-
prietor Of an up-to-date city store was
to get out of his rural habits by max
ing his employees hustle and by
! bouncing tie LOAF ers. After the
IOafers had gone he found that he and
his CLERKS ere the only ones that
entered after supper and as there was
nothing to do he concluded to lock up
on certain nights of the week ahd to
keep closed on Sunday. So it went on
starting at first by clos ny Tuesdays
and Thursdays at $50. A few years
later 10y adding VI ednesday to the list
OF early c.osing nights until now, be
ginning with Friday night, NAY
lst the up to-date merchants OF
Grand Rapids are to close their stores
at O'Clock every night except Mon
days and Saturdays.

MAGICAL CURES.
teeIs OF the Orient That Arc Appealed
70 In Case of Sickness.

q
ldels Of the Orient That Arc Appealed
70 In Case of Sickness.
OF magical methods used to cure
disease writer in the Scientific
American says: Powerful aid is be-
ieved 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 experimenting
power over smallpox, for example,
was approached with solemn cere
monies and presents to propitiate
her. 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 a 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 duplicated the pity of the flu
rious deity.
ssFrom 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-
cession 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 a 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"
