4 CHINESE sTRATAGEm.
Legend Of How Projected Invasion
Was Averted.

Rajah Suran. who was one Of the
earliest rulers Of India, overran the
entire east with the exception Of Chi
own hand and married all their daugh-
ters. 1t is said that when the Chinese
heard of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called council Of his
generals and mandarins, and upon the
advice of a crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails, trees were planted on the deck,
the vessel was manned by numerous
crew of old men and dispatched to the
rajah's capital. When it arrived-the
most wonderful part Of the story is
that it did arrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long it had taken
the vessel to make the trip from China
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great
trees had grown. In corroboration of
their story they pointed to the rusty
nails which, they said, had been stout
iron bars as thick as mans arm when
they started. You can see," they
concluded, that China must be very
long distance away"
The rajah was SO much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.

Electric Bitters in this institution for

excellent medicine for stomach, liver

as one of the best family medicines on
earth" It invigorates all vital

The Scented Court.

The rage for perfumes reached its
height during the reign of Louis XIV.
Throughout the continent his court
was known as the scented court" 1t
was then the custom when giving a
large entertainment for the hostess to
inform her guests what particular odor
she would use for perfuming her
rooms, and each guest would use that
odor in making her toilet. At court a
different perfume was used for each
day of the week. Much more attention
was paid to the use of the perfume
than to soap and water, and cleanli-
ness was not numbered among the vir-
tues of that age.

LAUGHTER,

Laughter.
Overindulgence in laughter is repro
bated by Emerson. Explosions Of it.,
he says, should be under strict control,
and he quotes approvingly the saying
of Lord Chesterfield. II am sure that
since had the use of my reason no hu-
man being has ever heard me laugh"
But Emerson is not altogether consist
ent in this matter, for. whereas in one
passage he refers to laughter as a
''contemptible squeal Of JOY" in an
other it becomes a pleasant spasm,"
and he gratefully acknowledges 1.-THE
rest and refreshment we get from the
shaking of the Sides" Moreover, he
admits that ito see a man in high
wind run after his hat is always droll.'
Presumably if the man is bald and the
road is muddy even Chesterfield might
be led to emit a contemplate squeal.-

Il Must Have Been Violent Operation
Before Jacobs Time.
We frequently hear the expression
"God bless you!" uttered after some
one has sneezed. The expression, if
we can believe Clodd in his Child
hood of the World" dates back to the
time of Jacob. We are told in Jewish
literature that previous to his time
men sneezed but once in a lifetime
and that was the end of them, for the
shock slew them. Jacob prevailed in
prayer and had the fatality set aside
on the condition that among all the
nations a sneeze should be hallowed
by the words "God bless your In the
"Jataka," one of the books of the
Buddhist Scriptures, we read that the
expression was, MAY the blessed Lord
allow you to uve!"
Buddha on one occasion while
preaching to his disciples happened to
sneeze. The priests gave vent to the
exclamation, and Buddha lectured
them for interrupting his discourse.
If when a person sneezes," he ask
ed, "and you say, May he live,' will
he live the longer?"
"Certainly notv' cried the priests.
"And if. you do not say it will he
die any the sooner?"
Certainly not! was the reply.
'"Then,' said Buddha. "from this
time forth If any one sneeze and a
priest says May you live he shall be
guilty of a transgression. ."-London

STORY OF CRUELTY
 DENIED BY HUSBAND
Mrs. Ramage Also Says That He Never
 Struck Her and That Neigh r bors Were Mistaken.

Although asserting his innocence, J. w. Ramage. the contractor, yesterday pleaded guilty before Justice Johnstone to the charge of cruelty to his wlfe. lie was fined the costs of the case.
 Ramage was provided with w.t. nesses. among them being Mrs. Ram age, who were willing to testify that he did not beat his wife or knock her down as had been alleged, but rather than argue the case and gain addition al publicity he preferred to plead guilty. Justice Johnstone gave him the lightest sentence within his power.
 Ramage felt that he had been un iustly treated by the newspapers and said that the reports of the affair passed from one mouth to another were greatly exaggerated. Mrs. Ramage IS very nervous and at time is afflicted with hvsteria It was such condition that was mistaken by the neighbors as the resnit of acts of cruelty Of the husband. The woman herself took the trouble to inform Justice Johnstone that she had not been struck, and cer- tainlv her appearance gave no indica- ton that she had been either struck or knocked down, as was alleged by neighbors. Those who know MT. kahh- age give him a good reputation.

DID STRANGE THINGS
 BECAUSE OF HEAT
Hot Weather Is the Only Explanation of Freak Activities by Sober
 Minded Citizens.

The recent hot weather which Phoe- nix has been enduring. but which is now apparently < matter of history for the present year at least, was IesponSi- ble for some strang idiosyncraeies of action which would tend to prove that the phrase crazy with the heat is not altogether without logical foundation.
 Under the influence of the suns rays men were observed doing things and saying things that they would not be guilty of in cooler weather There is no other explanation. Their brain pans were "het up' to such d degree that they did not care much what they did. What is known 10 the psychologist as the silly season" is simply a mild preface tO that state of affairs that follows a period of boiling weather.
 Two incidents that can be ascribed to the heat and to nothing else came un- der the observation of the writer with in the past month. One occurred in the cafe of a I Aoenix hotel, and a very respectable and orderly hotel it is. IL is d place where lawlessness is not tol- erated and the man who tipples over much is invited to remove his person rom the NlclnltN.
 Several weeks ago, when the sun was raising blisters on the asphalt pavement out in front, group of busi- ness men, drummerS. government Ol- ricial and several employees of the ter ritory, were gathered there for the sake of sociability. The majority were not imbibing-it was too hot. Here and there, a man called for q rickey or q glass of beer, but most of them want ed lemonade or even that innocuous beverage. Shasta water.
 They were an orderly Crowd-digni- fled and prosperous citizens of the community. men of affairs who have long since passed the school boy stage They perspired and told stories.
 Without warning one of the men stepped up behind another, caught hold nf his shirt and with a swift movement peeled it over his head. The shirt struck at the elbows and the victim struggled and fought at the indignity With roars of laughter every man in the cafe sDrang at him and ripped his shirt completely off, leaving him stand ing there sheepshly in his under gar ment He was a little, fat man, and he happened to be stopping in the hotel, so he sneaked up the back stairs to his room, put on a new shirt he had just purchased, fresh collar and tie and foolishly returned to the scene of merriment
 The cafe was in confusion. Here
