Bismarck had an intense aversion to

objection were that he served three
masters: be was responsible for and
fought in three great wars; he signed
three treaties of peace: he arranged
the meeting of three emperors; he es-
tablished the triple alliance: In the
Franco prussian war three horses were
killed under him: he had three names

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

What Happens When a Devil JumpS
Down a Patients Throat.
1t is the custom for a Chinaman 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 a small
brush made of ducks hair; third, the
upper and lower eyelids are scraped
with a dull edged knife. all granula-
tons being smoOthed away. and then
an application is made with Il ducks
hair brush of salt solution.
This is the reason why you will ind
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
his regular physician.
After going through the usual exam
ination, which is form of military in
spection, the doctor diagnoses the case
and treats 1t unless a devil happens to
jump down the patients throat. II
this has happened the doctor can do
the patient no good until he promises
to set of q hundred tirecrackers 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 a 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
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 a pinch Of
gunpowder to powdered cobra tail
dust 1t 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
Ndies, the eyebal, 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 q powder. is worth it's weight
when evaporated to a solid at tenn
perature of 10 degrees and taken as

The "macaroni" were exquisites or

which perched ridiculously on their

been a third of a Flemish penny. but

of that value. In those old arithmetic
books mite" stands for various val

but obviously used in reckoning. A
work of l7O6 makes 1t one-twelfth OF

NESTS IN GULF WEED.

49,
the Sarsasso Sea.
In the middle of the north Atlantic
there is an area of comparatively still
water almost equal to continental
Europe IN extent and more or less
covered with floating seaweed. 1t was
known as the Mar de SargacO to Co.
lumbus and the early navigators and
rapherS.
The floating seaweed was formerly
supposed 10 have grown near the Ba-
hama and Florida shores and TO have
drifted to its present position. II is
now. however, known to grow and
propagate itself where 1t Is found In
it are found glObular masses of weed
containing fish eggs and known as fish
nests.
investigations show that the floating
weed Of the Sargasso sea is the chosen
breeding place of species of flying fish.
The eggs found in the nests were at
tributed 10 certain species of fish found
resting on them. but careful examina-
ton of the eggs shows that they really
belong to flying fish.
Apparently, however. the flying fish
do not make the nests themselves.
Each end of the egg of these fish is
furnished with punches Of very long
Elementary tendrils, and by means OF
these the finely divided branches OF
the Sargassum weed have been caught
together In gIobular masses. The eggs
may be said to have made their own
nest.-London Field.
