THE EYE ON CHINESE IUNKs.
cantonfss Legend Explains Why
 Apparently Purposeless Sym hol ls Placed There.

Few people know why Chinese sunks have an eye painted on the port side of the bow. A Cantonese legend explains the origin of that singular custom in way that is sug- xestive of Anglo-Saxon humor.
 4 Chinese mandarin who lived cen turiss before the Christian era, find ing himself in need of a navy, sent for the royal boat builder and ordered him to build a certain number of ships. So the builder drew up plans and presented them to the mandarin. But the plans evidently did not suit his majesty, for he flew into a vio- lent rage and ordered the boat build CT from his presence.
 Then how shall build them, your celestial highness?" he pleaded.
 Whereupon the mandarin drew of one of his slippers and threw 1t at the boat builder, who lied from the room. At the door he turned for a moment, just in time to catch the mandarin winking at his prime minister.
 The boat builder picked up the roy al slipper and used it as a model. and then painted one eye on it's bow to represent the royal masters wink.

STORY OF THE HUMBLE CLAM
Small and Comparatively UnImpor-
 tant, Nevertheless He Has His Good Points.

Everybody has heard of the clam, for he has of late years achieved ce- isbrity by lending the use of his name for broth, e form of warm water used in. restaurants and soda fountains.
 Those who have studied the clam, however, know that he is in reality a remarkable individual.
 The clam begins by depositing him. self in a sand bank. He takes out no Ire insurance, and may be seen oc- easionally squirting out water, as a precaution against any sparks that might fall inadvertently.
 The clam in summer wears a sheath gown open at the sides, but so modest is he Cor shs) that it is immediately closed up at the approach of another person.
 Clans have decollete necks, which they are very fond of displaying in broad daylight. This, of course, makes them very sunburned.
 It would be much better If, during che sunny part of the day, the clam would wear . veil.
 Clans live usually in flats, and al- ways go down through the roof.
 In their native element they are very. much at home, but when seen in company with human beings they are usually in the soup or frittering away their livee.-Judge.

Altitude Toward Death.

The normal attitude of men toward death seems to be one of inattention or evasion. They do not trouble about 1t; they do not want to trouble about jt, and they resent its being called to their notice. On this point the late Frederick Myers used to tell a story which I have always thought very H. luminating In conversation after dinner he was pressing on his host the unwelcome question, what he thought would happen after death. After many svasions and much recalcitrancy the reluctant admission was extorted: "Of course, If you press me, believe that we shall all enter into eternal bliss; but I wish you wouldn't talk about such disagreeable subjects" This, believe, is typical of the normal mood of most men. They don't want to be worried; and though probably, if the question were pressed, they would ob- ject to the idea of extinction, they can hardly be said to desire immor- tality. Even at the point of death, It would seem, this attitude is often Raintainea.-A

sentence in the resignation handed in by

dogs in this city. In one day he captured
twenty-one of the CANNES. breaking all
previous records for this office in the beach
district But his good fortune didn't last,
as it seemed he had taken in all the dogs

LOCATE LOST WELL
BY SUIT RECORDS
CAJON CREEK FLOOD CAUSES
SANTA FE TROUBLE
For More Than Month Effort Has Been
Made to Find Source of
Water Supply for
Locomotives
Especial to he Herald. ]

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 2.-The
records of an old suit are to enable
the Santa Fe to locate a lost well.
After the waters at Cajon creew sub
sided, following the recent terrific
storm, it was discovered that the
change in the channel had completely
buried the well from which water was
piped to Keenbrook, five miles away,
to supply passing locomotives. The
well was located near the railroad
tracks about a mile south of CaJon,
on the bank of the creek.
AL! landmarks were swept away in
the flood that covered up the well
and although every effort has been
made to locate the spot, the well has
remained undiscovered for over a
month. A number of years ago Peter
Hanf brought suit against the Santa
Fe for damages that he alleged his
land had suffered through the sinking
of the well. Among the papers of the
suit were found q map showing the
exact location and also photograph
of the well.
A gang of men, with machinery
and powerful pump, are now at the
place where the we'll is located and
it is believed that it will be found.
Although the well, which is twenty
by ten feet at the opening, is covered
up and probably damaged, water is
still flowing at Keenbrook in sufficient
quantities to keep the tanks full.
