BEING SICK IN CHINA.
What Happens When Devil Jumps
Down Patients Throat.

what Happens When Devil Jumps
Down q Patients Throat.
It is the custom for Gilman man to
visit the barber every week to have a
general overhauling. First, the head
and face are shaved; second, the ears
are scraped and cleansed with small
brush made of ducks hair; third, the
upper and lower eyelids are scraped
with dull edged knife, all granula-
tons being smoothed away, and then
an application is made with ducks
hair brush Of salt solution.
This is the reason why you will find
so much blindness in China. They
take no antiseptic measures whatever.
Finally the patients back is mas
saged, and after paying fee Of cents
and no tip he leaves the shop, feeling
clean outside, but now must consult
his regular physician.
After going through the usual exam
ination, which is a form of military in
spection, the doctor diagnoses the case
and treats it unless a devil happens to
jump down the patients throat. If

the patient no good until he promises
to set off a hundred firecrackers and
to make daily visit to the joss house.
This done, he receives the usual pills
for those vacated by the devil.
These pills may consist of spotted
rhinoceros horns, said to be wonder
full cure for intestinal troubles The
spotted rhinoceros horns come from
southern China, and in the market at
Singapore single specimen will bring
$25.
Tiger bones when ground to a pow
der and mixed with Chinese wine
make a great blood tonic which is
used by all classes Of Chinese in north
ern China. The recipe is held by a
firm in Shanghai that has become very
wealthy by the sale Of this tonic.
Old deer horns are boiled down to
make the medicinal glue which binds
the fifty ingredients composing the
average Chinese pills. AS in these you
may get anything from pinch Of
gunpowder to powdered cobra tail
dust it is not the fault Of Wong Yik
Chez if just the right kind of specific
escapes the patient.
Equal in medicinal efficacy to the
above are three high grade tiger rene
dies, the eyeball, liver and blood. AS
may be imagined, tiger eyeball, the
genuine article, can be prescribed for
only the exceedingly wealthy Chinese.
Similarly the liver, when dried and re-
duced to powder, is worth its weight
in gold all over China. Tiger blood,
when evaporated to a solid at tenn
perature of 10 degrees and taken as
a powder, is believed by Asiatics to
transform craven into a hero.-Med-

ATHLETIC TRAINING.
70 Acquire an Excess of Muscle May
Prove Injurious.

iVSS IONos
Nothing could be more elusive than
the idea that by period of athletic
training a man can lay in a stock Of
nealth and strength upon which he can
draw later while engaged in seden-
tary occupation. The truth is that the
big muscles and hypertrophied heart
Of the athlete are perilous possessions
for the man who no longer has the
time or the inclination for using them.
When he stops the exercises by which
he gained them, instead Of simply re-
turning to their original size they suf-
fer one or another of the many forms
of degeneration and become incapable
of performing their original services.
1t is not quite true that all exercise
for its own sake is harmless, for it is
well to be prepared for the meeting of
llfe's little emergencies as we'll as it's
ordinary and daily demands, but it
probably is true that, the emergencies
apart, every man does enough in going
about his customary business and
pleasure to keep himself in the condi-
ton which that business and pleasure
demand and that anything besides is
superfiuous or injurious. That athletics
take one into the open air is less a
commentator of athletics than an in
dictment of our houses, Offices and
stores for lack of adequate ventilation
II all the air we breathe was pure air
we could get along well enough with
out any open air at all. Any man who
has the muscle he needs for doing the
things he wants to do and should do
has all the muscle he ought to have.
To acquire more is a silly waste of
time and perilous besides.-New York
Times.

CHEVY CHASE.
The Old Rodgers Mansion and tho Fa-
nous Washington Club.

The Old Rodgers Mansion and tho Fa-
nous Washington Club.
Doubtless few of the many thousands
Of persons who have read of Chevy
Chase have any idea Of the interesting
history attached to the clubhouse and
surroundings. Part of the old colonial
structure as it stands today was erect
ed in 1747 and from that time until a
few years ago remained in the Rodg-
ers family. In the war Of 1912, when
the British were advancing on Wash
ington, the army and navy records
were taken from the White House and
secreted in the cellar Of the Rodgers
mansion, where they were kept for
several days.
The Rodgers family has been famous
in the American navy, no fewer than
seven having served as admirals. The
estate consisted Of something like 200
acres, and as the identifying Of the
property was always hobby Of its
owners it is not surprising that I'M
usual taste should have been shown in
laying it out. 1t is a fact that there
are 105 varieties of trees and bushes
to be found within a stones throw Of
the clubhouse. Not far from the pres
ent fourth green there was once a
sunken garden, but this is scarcely
more than memory now.
The Chevy Chase club took posses
sion in 1888 and at first rented the
nrOnorfv from tho Rod oors osfafo h1f
later the club purchased 200 acres.
Several horse shows have been con-
Quoted on the property, and some
years back the regular old fashioned
county fairs were popular there. The
membership consists of persons promi-
nent in Washington socially. It is only
half an hours ride from the treasury
to the door Of the clubhouse x-
change.

WAYS to an untimelv End.

The catalogue of the ways and means
employed by otherwise sensible people
to incur the risk Of disease and an
untimely end include running to catch
trolley cars, breathing rapidly through
the mouth instead Of deeply through the

"slouching" instead Of standing and
walking in an erect attitude, using I'M
necessary stimulants, failing to exter-

Forever Dry.

There is youngster in college who
combines the poetic instinct with a
keen sense OF humor. He IS not close
student. In fact, he regards books as
instruments Of torture. One Of the pro.
lessons picked up text book belonging
to him the other day and found on the
dyleaf this bit OF verse. which no doubt
expressed the students opinion Of 1t:
Should there be another food
For refuge hither fly,
And should the whole world be sub.
merged
This book would still be dry.

There is no doubt that whoever did
discover the North Pole, now finds
himself a hero, for he has done some
thing daring and unusual. But the
country is full of greater heroes; of
men who stay at home and work for q
living and pay taxes, although they
know no bands will play for them, nor
screaming headlines tell OF their mod
est efforts. Being composed of aver
age men, the country is little slow
in giving average men their due. At

A Suspicion. Silence.

Howard was only twenty months
older than the baby. He had somehow
come to realize that Elwood, who was
creeping, was more likely to be in mis-
chief when quiet. One day he called to
his mother with a great deal Of anx-
iety in his little voice, Mamma, I hear
Elwood keeping still. "-Delineator.

The one end Of the rope is to be fixed
at the hook in the window frame, the
other is to turn out Of the window. The
plated snotter, which is fixed at the log
Of wood, is to be put under your arms.
Whereupon you may safely let yourself
slide down. You may regulate the bur-
~ by keeping the rope under the log.
If more persons are to be saved you
have to pull up the contrary end Of the
rope, fix this at the hook and go on so
till nobody is left. ~ London Punch.

(From the LeBeau Phenix, Sept. 16.)

From the LeBeau Phenix, Sept. 16.)
Approximately :, 0OO, 900 acres Of
good farming land will be thrown open
to settlement with the opening Of the
Cheyenne and Standing Rock Indian
Reservations, between Oct. 4 and %,
1909.
Never before has such a large In
characterization containing such high
class of farming land been opened to
settlement. This is practically the last
great chance for men wanting cheap
government land to secure it by filing
upon it at LeBeau between the dates
mentioned.
LeBeau is the principal registration
point, being located just across the RI
yer from the land. In fact it is the
only registration point designated
from which the land to be opened can
be seen.
A portion of the land to be drawn
for is not to exceed mile from the
depot at LeBeau, so that excellent
railroad facilities will be afforded the
future farmer on the alton. Be-
sides present railroad facilities other
lines and extensions are projected and
this country will be as we'll supplied
with railroad facilities as any part of
the state.
In addition to the agricultural rich
ness OF the soil, which is good wheat
land, or excellent for general agricul-
tural purposes, the whole surrounding
country overlays natural gas reser-
vo1rs which can be tapped at small
expense, thus providing farmers with
practically free light and fuel.
Under the provisions of the Gamble
Bill the land Office will be located in
LeBeau, thus providing an Office in
accessible distance to much of the re-
servation.
Comparatively estimated the land
will be worth from 500 to $50 an acre
the day it is proved up on by the sett-
lers. LeBeau is expecting from 1OO,-
900 to 200, 900 people to register here.
Reservations opened the past summer
containing in some instances less than
one-ffth the area of the Cheyenne and
Standing Rock reservation, attracted
nearly half million people for regis
tration. Anybody with the price of a
railroad ticket to LeBeau can register,
as no money is required by the gov
eminent at that time.
In the spring Of 1910 those who draw
farms will be required to locate them
in the order in which they were drawn.
The price Of the land to the settler is
from $3.50 to $500 an acre, to be paid
at time of location one-ffth in cash
and the balance in four equal annual
installments.
