HOW CHINA LIVES.

No natural resoffce is too trifine
to be turned to account by the tenn
ing population. The sea is raked and
strained for edible plumber. Sea-
weed and kelp have a place in the
larder, Great quantities of shellfish
no bigger than ones fnger-nail, are
opened and made to yield a food that
finds its way far inland. The fungus
that springs up in the grass after a
rain is eaten. Fried sweet potato
vines furnish the poor mans table.
The roadside bitches are bailed out

BULLS FIGHT
Over The PrOstrate Form Of a
Boy.

jacksonville, Ky. Aug. 16-But
for the fact that On old bull came to
his rescue when Delma Moore, aged
16 years, was being attacked by a
young bull in his fathers COW pas
ture here, the young man would
likely have been stamped to death.
Moore went into the field to drive
the cows home. The young bull at
tackled him. The boy was knocked
down. His leg was broken in the
fall and the bull gored him. render
ing him unconscious.
His father, standing several rods
away. saw the conflict and started
to the boys aid. AT this juncture
an old bull. close to the boy, rushed
at the younger Animal and butted
the latter away. The younger bull
made desperate lunges to again get
at the boy. but in each instance the
older animal acted as a guard. The
lads injuries are serious.

ECCLESIASTICAL LATIN.

For some time the pope and the
vatican authorities have been occu-
pied considering the pronunciation
of Latin in the churches. While in
the churches of France and some
in England one hears 'Deus qui fecit
coelum ct terram," the Italians say
"Deous coui fetchit tcheloum" ara
the Germans "Fetsit tseloum." 1t
follows that Roman Catholics when
away from home find these diver.
gencies on pronunciation somewhat
difficult to follow; so the vatican is
of opinion that there should be a
uniformity of pronunciation. II
there be any result from the vatican
deliberations, it may be surmised
that the Italian form will be adopted
as most nearly that Of the ancient
Romans.

SCHEME OF POOR PARIsIANs
Get Foremost Places in Hospital Wait
Ing Lines and Sell Them TO
Those Really Sick.

The boy messenger has Of late
years made great difference to the
queue outside theater doors on a
first night, and here in Paris, where
the boy messenger is far less COM
mon than at home, a popular first
night or a free performance of the
opera gives employment to a large
number of poor people who sell their
places in the line to amateurs. But
these poor people have discovered
a novel and remunerative way now
of using the spare time which is so
very rarely money in their case. The
Paris hospitals are by no means as
well managed as hospitals at home,
and out patients, or patients apply
ing for admission, are very often
kept waiting their turn longer than
their strength can stand. The queue
experts have discovered this fact,
many of them, no doubt, through
sad experience, and many of them
now make it their business to attend
this or that hospital to take fore
most place in the waiting crowd and
sell these places to the real sick, who
are delighted to pay 3D.. or 1Od. for
the privilege of seeing the doctor
an hour or two earlier. There is
no end to the ingenuity of the poor
Partisan or the poor of any big town
who live by their wits, but proxy
for invalids is certainly a novelty

OLD AGE OUT " FASHION
Civilized Man or Woman Of Seventy
Now Younger Than tho
Savage Of Forty.

Careful studies and measure
ments have shown that our time OF
actual maturity and arrest of growth
in physical characters, such as
height, weight and chest girth, is
much later than formerly supposed.
Instead of reaching, as was at one
time confidently stated, our full
height at eighteen, our full strength
at twenty-three and our full chest
girth at twenty-five, as a matter OF
fact we continue to increase slowly,
it is true, in all these respects until
thirty-fve, thirty-eight and even
forty years of age.
By living a healthful, active,
happy life and keeping up all our
interests, we can grow and develop
and adjust ourselves and feel that
we are growing until we are one day
suddenly dead, without ever realiz-
ing in any distressing or painful
way that we are growing old at all.
Already old age has gone quite
out of fashion. The civilized, edu-
Gated man OF woman of seventy is
younger than the savage of forty
or the peasant Of fifty. What with
steady spread Of regular vacations
and country or suburban homes and
walking clubs and golf and gardens
and automobiling and travel Of all
sorts, those who would have been
considered old once are now only
seventy or seVeny-fye years young.

CAREER OF HERoIsM CLOSES
Passing Of Mrs. Janet Helen King,
Who Was Angel Of Mercy on
Many Battlefelds.

A career of heroism on the battle
fields Of Europe and Africa has
closed by the death of Mrs. Janet
Helen King Of Purley, Middlesex,
England. When only about nineteen
years old she was one Of a party
sent out to assist in nursing the
troops engaged in the war between
Russia and Turkey. After the party
lost its way, and the night was passed
in open carts, bitter cold and the
bowling Of wolves effectually pre-
venting sleep. To Sister Janet's
care we're allotted ONE 200 patients
who lay in huts scattered amongst
the hills Daily as she trudged
through the snow from hut to hut
on her mission Of mercy, she was
exposed to attacks from the wild
dogs that infested Bulgaria. More
than once these brutes had her down,
but her stick and dagger protected
her until her cries brought assist
ance. At the close of the war she
received the Imperial Order of the
Red Cross of Russia. She went out,
too, to the Zulu war, and at Utrecht

HerschePs Studies.
When this great astronomers son,
sir John Herschel, went to the sunny
skies of the Cape Of Good Hope. and
carried with him a big telescope to
examine the southern skies. the hope
was revived that he might be able to
discover the Man in the Moon" and
tell something of his life and customs.
So when there appeared in the col.
umns of the New York Sun, what pur-
ported to be, Wonderful Astronomical
Discoveries by Sir John Herschel,"
whereby it was shown that the moon
had a vast population of human be-
ings, the interest aroused was very
great.
According to the Sun, wonderful dis
coverieS in the art of casting and

been kept a profound secret, had rem
dered possible the manufacture of
lens of the gigantic diameter of "a

mechanical devices which rendered the
huge telescope easy Of manipu-

gathering power Of the "a foot lens that
a refined microscope was substituted
instead of the ordinary eye-piece This
gave a magnifying power so great that
the moon appeared but few hundred
