CHINESE BURNING POND.
How Belongings of Late Empress
Dowager Were Destroyed

When the new Empress-Dowager had
finished performing the ibationary sacri-
fees to the memory of the late Empress
Dowager on the completion of one whole
month from her death the chief imperial
concubine of the late Emperor, at the
head of the wives of the imperial princes,
solemnly proceeded to place in the burn
ing pond and to burn the following arti-
cles belong to her late majesty: Her
pearl pendant hat, her chaplet of pearl
beads, her gayly ornamented and en-
bossed clothes, her bedding in ordinary
use and her yellow and red silk cushions
and mattresses.
Her carts, sedans and other unwieldy
objects were at the same time separately
burned on the banks of the palace lake.

CHILD ATE CUTICURA.

Spread Whole Box of 1t on Crackers
Not the Least Injury Resulted
Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.
. A New York friend of Cuticura
writes:
"My three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on trip across
theAtlantic, investigated the stateroom
and located box Of graham crackers
and a box Of Cuticura Ointment. When
a search was made for the box, it was
found empty and the kid admitted
that he had eaten the contents of the
entire box spread on the crackers. 1t
cured him of bad cold and don't
know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient OF
Cuticura Ointment is absolutely pure,
sweet and harmless. If it may be
safely eaten by young child. none but
the most beneficial results can be ex-
pected to attend its application to even
the tenderest skin or youngest infant.

SISTERS TRICK.
aut II All Came Ont Rich,

But 1t All Came Out Right.
How sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiend Is
an interesting tale:
"I was a coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging to
the poison that stole away my strength.
I Knocked at Postum and would have
none of it.
Zone day my sister substituted a
cup of piping hot Postum for my morn
ing cup Of coffee but did not tell me
what 1t was. / noticed the richness of
it and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine, but my sister did not tell me l
was drinking Postum for fear / might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept giving
me Postum instead of coffee until /
grew stronger, more tireless, got bet
ter color in my sallow cheeks and a
clearness to my eye, then she told me
of the health-giving, nerve-strengthen-
ing life-saver she had given me in place
of my morning coffee. From that time
7 became a disciple of Postum and no
words can do justice in telling the good
this cereal drink did me. l will not
try to tell it, for only after having
used it can one be convinced Of its
merits"
Ten days trial shows Postum's
mower to rebuild what coffee has de-
stroyed. There's reason

Teaching Nothing.

DIR. Howe, president of Case school,
Cleveland, never fails to express his
vexation when he has student call the
zero of mathematics nothing. One of the
students, Morgenthaler by name, would
almost invariably read an equation like
this, x-I-y-0, as follows: tx plus y
equals nothing" One day DR.. Howe lost
his long-enduring patience. ''See here,
Morgenthaler, let me show you the diff
ference between zero and nothing"
With this, DIR. Howe wrote a big
on the blackboard. This" he said sis

FIRST ORANGES OF EUROPE.
Story of the Introduction of the Fruit
From China.

At time when tiny orange trees are
to be see mas table decorations, and
oranges innumerable are for sale, it is not
inappropriate to trace the introduction
Of the fruit into Europe According to
Globe, after its Introduction into Eu-
rope from China a Carthaginian con-
ceived the idea of grating the yellow
mandarin orange upon the grenadier,
with the result that we have the blood
orange. Jean de Castro introduced the
orange from the West Indies to Portu-
gal, and the first attempt to cultivate it
was made by the Constable de Bourbon;
but after this revolt Francis 1. continued
the experiments. At the time Louis XIV.
visited Toulon the Chevalier Paul, in
compliment to the King placed some
preserved oranges on trees in the orang-
cry. Ladies in the retinue, it is added,
were under the impression that these
oranges grew sugared.

No aTippings on German Railways.

Germany appreciates more and more
every year the financial benefits accru-
ing from "the tourist industry" and is
especially DESTROYS of attracting Ameri-
can travellers, because they are the most
lavish of all in the expenditure of
money.
Tourists generally will be interested in
the new regulations which are to go into
force on the German railways on the LIST
of next month. They are drastic. which
is not a unusual quality in German
rules, and on the whole they seem to
be Just and practical. Tipping of rail
way employees on trains is prohibited ;
passengers giving tips will be punished
and the official bribed will be dismissed.
The railways will be responsible for pas
sengers' luggage for fourteen days and
at all times responsible for luggage lost.
Children over 10 years will not be per-
mitted to travel in compartments re-
served for women. If train is full, a
traveller. although he may have ticket,
may be compelled to wait for the next
train. A friend taking leave of trav-
eler and remaining in a train until it
moves will have to pay fine of $1.5O.
Other European countries would do
well to follow the good example which
Germany has set in abolishing tipping on
railways, for the eXaction has been q
nuisance not only in Germany, but also
in Russia, in Italy, and, of late years,
in France. One reform leads to others.
Europeans object to the American sleep
ing car, with it's open berths, averring
that it is immodest. This is an impu-
tation at which Americans feel disposed
to smile. The European compartment
system has never commanded their ap-
prevail. It's supposed privacy is some
times invaded by railroad employees with
skeleton keys who manage to get from
fhar, rn1
Meeting toilet, and who often make seri-
Gus depredations upon baggage. This is
a risk of travel which does not exist to
the same extent in America.
