CHINESE NEW YEAR
Richmond CeIestiaIS Will Cele-
brate the Event Which
Means Much to Them.
1T WILL BE A GALA DAY.

Next Saturday morning when the al
mond-eyed oriental who brings home
vour clean linen thrusts into your
hand a folded piece Of red paper in
scribed with mystic hierOglyphics and
eXclaims, "Kung he fet toy do not be
alarmed-it is not a warning from a
local Boxer society, nor an overdue
laundry bill. Your friend John IS
merely wishing you a happy new year
will reply, 'Kung he, kung he" which
means, freely translated, The same
to you"
The Chinese new year comes on
Feb, !, and next Saturday begins the
year of 1905. Although it is not cele-
brated with as much enthusiasm in
America as in the Celestial Empire, no
self-respe citing Chinese allows the day
to go by unobserved. It represents
TO him Fourth of July, Christmas and
his birthday, all rolled into one. In
China it is customary to welcome the
new year with the ringing Of bells, the
firing Of crackers and displays Of fire
works, and then to spend the day on
the streets making calls and distribute
ing good wishes. Everybody keeps op-
en- house and no family is too poor to
provide some sort of refreshments for
that day The little children, who or
dinarily are keep. pretty close at home,
are allowed the freedom of the streets
on New Years day and they run
hither and thither shouting greetings
to their friends. The older folk recog-
niZe their solutions by gifts of small
coins wrapped in red paper, The ceIe-
brations usually last for Two or three
days and sometimes q week.
One reason for the importance at
taching to New Years day is that up
on that day every Chinese becomes a
year older. The age OF a Chinese ba-
by born today-or three months ago
for that maJter-wOuld be reckoned
from next Saturday, when he becomes
year Old.

Detroit, Mich. Jan. 27.-"Heres to

in carbolic acid last night by Henry
Knauss, a farmer, who lived nine miles
west Of Mason, Mich. knauss prefac-
ed this dramatic entrance into eterni-

it was destroyed. Whatever regrets
he may have had over his life did not
weigh very long on his mind, for in
ten minutes he was dead.
Knauss separated from his wife four
years ago. Since then he has brood

that remorse for his alleged harshness
toward her led him to take his life.

A Great Psychologist
Once Said the Way to Keep the
Stomach Healthy Is To
Exercise It,
But He Did Not Tell How to Make 1t
Healthy

The muscles Of the body can be de
velOped by exercise until their
strength has increased manifold, and a
proper amount Of training each day
will accomplish this result, but it is
somewhat doubtful whether you can
increase the digestive powers of the
stomach by eating indigestibIe food in
order to force it to work
Nature has furnished us all with a
perfect set of organs, and if they are
not abused they will attend to the bus
mess required of them. They need no
abnormal strength.
There is limit to the weight a man
can lift, and there is also a limit to
what the stomach can do.
The cause Of dyspepsia. indigestion
and many affiliated diseases is that
the stomach has been exercised too
much and it is tired or worn out Not
exercise but rest is what it needs.
To take something into the stomach

The common sense method is to di
