Last Sunday was the Chinese New
Year and although the Chinaman is a
heather and eats rats, he has the be-
lief that he must pay all his debts
before 12 o'clock of the night pre-
ceeding the new year. Now isn't that
enough to convince everybody that
the Chinaman is heather. Just
think of never carrying a debt over
the end of the year, Oh, the real
ignorance of the Chinaman is some,
thing t-u-r-rible.

MILITARY ACCURACY
Exaetness In Keeping Tab on the
Movements of Soldiers.


Movements of Soldiers.
We hear much of the perfection of
military organization abroad, but it Is
doubtful whether any foreign war Of
fee follows with an accuracy greater
than that displayed by our own war
department the movements of its Of
ficers. The following is an interesting
case in point:
A young army officer who has seen
service in this country and in the east
was once with scouting party in Ari-
Zona. After two weeks in the desert
his squad came to the railway near a
small station. Within ten minutes a
telegram from Washington was
brought to him by the station agent.
1t asked If the officer wished to be
transferred to one of the new artillery
regiments then forming.
He answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either of them.
Then with his squad he set off again
across the desert
1t was six days later when they
again struck the railway, this time
eighty miles from the point at which
they had previously crossed it, but the
officers reply from the war depart
ment was awaiting him. 1t had been
telegraphed to every station within
POO miles.
A more striking instance of accuracy
occurred after the same officers trans
fer to the east. He was travelling
home on leave, and, as the regulations
require, he had notified the department
Of the day, hour and probable route
Of his journey. After he had been on
the train for eight hours at small
station the porter entered with tele-
gram, asking If any one of his name
was present. On opening the tele-
gram the officer found that 1t ordered
him to detached duty.

The action of the United States in
generously waving the indemnity of
$11,00O,0OO resulting from the Boxer

fruit. China has since regarded this
country as her best friend, and has
sought advice and guidance from us
on matters affecting her International
relations. AT the present time the
Chinese government is defraying the
expenses Of upwards of one hundred

A cooking school was held at the
court house last week under direc-
ton of teachers from the o. S. U.
While it may be very proper for Ia
dies who know how to cook, to take
instructions in that line of household
duty in order to become experts, it
is rather sad to think it necessary to
open schools to learn young women
how to do the very thing which it
is the duty of every mother to know
and to teach her daughter.

DEPTH OF THE ATLANTIC.

1t is now possible to assert that il
but few places has the Atlantic {
depth exceeding 5000 fathoms, Oh
three and a quarter miles. It's great.
est depth is about 100 miles north
of the island of st. Thomas, where
it reaches 1875 fathoms, or about
four miles and a quarter. Except in
the neighborhood of its coast line
and in certain shallower areas, the
floor of the Atlantic basin at its
widest part lies at a depth of from
1000 to 5000 fathoms, the slopes
being extremely gradual. In some
parts, as for instance to the west
ward of ireland, the slope is only
about six feet to the mile. Were the
waters removed, the bottom of the
ocean would appear much more level
than some people think.

THE TEA DRINKERS.

The chronic tea drinkers Of this
country are generally the kitchen
girls and women who remain in the
kitchen and in the house a great
deal. The teapot is constantly on
the stove and the strong stale brew
full of fannie acid and bitter extrac-
tives is poured into the stomach at
frequent intervals. Here we get
not only the stimulation Of the caf-
fein, but the irritation of the tannin
derivatives on the stomach mucous
membrane. The sooner or later re-
suit is sleeplessness, and irritable
fretty disposition, nervous dyspepsia,
or even gastritis, and constipation.
OF course, the treatment is to stop
the cause, treat the insomnia, dys-
pepsia and constipation, and give
fresh air. Tea tasters show earlier
than other individuals decay of the
teeth. Children up to IS years
should not drink coffee or tea regu-
larly.-Journal of the American

EARLY OBSERVATION OF RAIN.

The rain gauge made in 1859 by
Benedetto Castelli, Galileo's contem.
porary, has been regarded as the
first, but evidence of earlier instru-
ments has been found by DIR. Y.
Wada, of the Corean Meteorological
observatory at Chemulpo.
From Corean records, it seems
that rain gauges were regularly used
as early as 1442. They were bronze
vases Is inches deep and seven
inches in diameter, mounted on pill
lars, and King Seio ordered them
placed at the observatory and sup
piled to the provinces and cantons,

The ServIan Drum.

The men who play the big drums in
the Servian army must have an cas-
Ter lot than the drummers of other
lands; for they do not have to carry
their own drums.
In nearly all cases, instead Of being
slung in front OF the man who plays
1t, the instrument is put on a small
two-wheeled cart drawn by a large
dog. OF course the drummer must
play as he marches; but the dog is
so well trained that there is no diff
Guilty in doing this.
The animal keeps it's place even
through the longest marches, and the
drummer walks behind the cart, per-
forming on the instrument as he
goes along. Each regiment is pro-
vided with two or three big drums;
but few regiments have bands.-The

the wickedest and maddest monarch
