Chinese Queer Ways.

Difficulties of census work among
Chinese are amusingly illustrated by
the British commissioner at Weihaiwei
in his report. "A Chinese child at
birth is said to be one year DID," he
writes, "and after it has passed one
new year it is said to be two years old.
Thus child if born in the last month
Of the year may be said to be two
years Of age before it is thirty days old
according to European reckoning. A
child Of eighteen months time Of life
since birth is reckoned by Chinese to
be either two years or three years old,
this depending on whether it was born
in the first or second half of the year.
It is common for a Chinese mother to
give a son the name of girl, presum-
ably to deceive the fates. 1t being con.
sidered easier to bring up girl. There
are many large undivided families in
Weihaiwei. The largest is that of a
widow named Meng Yu Shih. whose
family consists of sixty-six. which,
with one servant, makes sixty-seven
mouths to the common neal"

Man More LIQUID Than Solid.

Every fiber and every cell that enters
into the formation Of living body is
bathed in moisture. by which means
alone these ultimate elements are kept
alive and are enabled to carry out their
duties. Even the bones, which appear
to be the most solid Of all, owe more
than half their weight to the presence
of fluid. That our bodies contain a
large amount of fluid is proved in a
striking manner by the blisters which
rise after the infiction of a burn.
Water, in fact, plays very important
part in the human anatomy, for it is
through its agency that the vital proc
esses Of digestion, absorption and the
excretion Of waste products are car
ried out. To reduce the whole matter
to figures and taking 154 pounds to be
the total weight Of an average full
grown man, it is said that water alone
accounts for 100 pounds of the whole.

Tortoise Shell,

The finest Of tortoise shell is said to
be that which comes from the Indian
archipelago. although much of that
obtained on the Florida coast is Of the
very best quality. says the Scientific
American. There are three rows Of
plates on the back of the animal called
"blades'' by the fishermen. In the
central row are five plates and in each
Of the others four plates, the latter
containing the best material. Besides
these, there are twenty-five small
plates around the edges of the shell,
known as feet or moses" The big
gest turtle does not furnish more than
sixteen pounds Of shell. Formerly the
undershell was discarded as worthless.
but now it is much esteemed for its
delicacy Of coloring. Sometimes imi-
tation of tortoise shell is made Of the
horns Of cows.

Washinaton as q Humorist.

While president Washington humor
seemed to find expression in the diplo
macy of self protection. French
revolutionist came to him for general
testimonial, which Washington did not
care to grant, yet he did not wish TO
give offense to the French by curt
refusal. so he wrote an evasive card
worthy Of Lincoln-"C. Volney needs
no recommendation from G. Washing
ton"
After Corvallis surrender at York,
town Washington treated him with
high consideration. At a dinner given
in honor of the distinguished prisoner
Rochambeau proposed THE United
States as his toast; Washington re-
sponded with THE king of France"

ed to my little son. I will tell you
why afterward.' The child touched
him as he passed. and said to him.

REASONED 1T OUT

A man does not count as wasted the

his business would be worth little
without good health to care for It A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years l had been bother
ed a great deal after meals. My food
seemed to lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain OF course
this rendered me more OF less unfit
for business, and I made up my mind
that something would nave to be done
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that ~over-eating. filling the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible
for many of the ills that human flesh
endures, and that l was Furnishing
myself in that way-that was what
was making me so dull, heavy and Un-
comfortable, and unfit for business
after meals. l concluded to try Grape
Nuts food to see what it could do for
me.
ct have been using It for some
months now, and am glad to say that

my food seems to assimilate easily
and perfectly, and to do he work for
which 1t was intended.

SO MINERS PERISH
IN BLAZING MINE
PATHETIC SCENES UPON RECOVERY
OF DEAD BODIES.
Flames, Smoke and Gases Coming il
Blind Tunnel Completely Elk
terminated Men.

Scranton, Pa.-One of the most serious
nine disasters of this section of the
mining country occurred Friday at the
little village of Throop, a short dis
tance from this city, when the lives OF
were snutfed out.
Up to midnight nearly two scores OF
bodies had been piled at the bottom Of
the shaft, but it was thought advisable
not to bring them to the surface until
the crowd had dwindled. A temporary
mOrgue had been erected at the opening
to the mine, and here were c~ongregated
hundreds of women and children, rela-
tives of the men and boys who had
been so suddenly snatched from them,
Their grief was pitiful. Children OF
tender years clinging to the skirts OF
their mothers, while older male mem
bers of the family sought to soften the
anguish of the distracted mothers and
sisters.
None of the bodies recovered were
mutilated, death doubtless having been
caused by inhallng flames and gases.
The rescuers are pushing into the mine,
and it is thought all of the bodies will
be recovered.
The fire started in a engine house
at the opening of a slope $50 feet from
the surface. There were 500 men in the
mine when the fire started, about sixty
of them in the workings into which the
slope led. These sixty were at work in
a blind" tunnel at the end of the
slope.
Escape was blocked by fire, smoke
and the generated gases, possibly before
these men INC boys realized their dan
ger. The other men, scattered in diff
ferent workings, got out by various
exits.
