Peace Reigning Among Chinese Tongs

A CCORDING to Washington officials,
- for eight months not shot has
been fired and not a nife flashed by
a member of any of the Chinese Sc
cieties, or tongs, in tic United States
There is a truce amors these feudists
who have for years spread terror
among the Chinese districts Of the
large cities. Since the week Of the
Chinese peace banqret in New York,
where Chiao Chung-tan, first secretary
of the Chinese legs ton in Washing
ton, expounded his peace doctrine
there has been no tong war.
MIR. Chiao before coming to this
country, was a schoclmaster in an OBJ
scure district in China. He has been
with the legation a little more than
a year. He speaks TO English when
he can avoid it. He has been studying
the language but has made little prog
ress. Although an aristocrat by birth
and education, he is distinctly a man
of the people and his hold on all
classes is little short Of wonderful.
Mr.. Chiao attended the peace ban
quet in New York as the special ennis
sary Of the emperor AT that time the
agitation in favor OF cutting off the
queue was at its height in China. Mr..
Chiao favored the adoption of western
dress and mode Of living, particularly
in this country, believing that it would

Sam are not going TO make any more
gold coins until the twenty years are

so badly used up that 1t will be time

That's the reason, also, why the
minis of the country were closed in
some instances and in others restrict
ed to the making Of pennies and the
smaller coins. The new policy of the
government issuing certificates
against the bullion in the mint instead
of making the money out of the gold
has saved the government 100000,
according to Director Of the Mint Rob-
erts, and one of the reasons for this
is that the people prefer the paper

INDUCES CRAVING FOR DRINK
Well-known English Eye Specialist
Advances New Reason for Whisky
Habit in Poor Eyes.

It Is a queer theory which is now
being put forward in explanation OF
drunkenness. If you suffer from eye
acknowledgements run the risk
of becoming a victim of the whisky
habit unless an eye specialist is con-
suited and glasses obtained to suit the
defective sight.
Very many people who think their
eyes are quite all right are really
astigmatic," well-known English eye
specialist declares, "and take no steps
to remedy the defect. The result is
that they suffer from mental and phys
zeal exhaustion, eliminating in in
tense headaches, and often leading to
a nervous breakdown.
They find by experience that
nothing alleviates these symptoms so
quickly as brandy, and, when the pain
becomes excessive, or the inability to
work properly gets almost insuper-
able, they drink brandy, usually with
soda water. When the effect of the
brandy wears off there is a reaction,
and the symptoms recur with greater
violence, and more of the spirit is
taken.
AS time goes on greater guam
tity is needed to stimulate the system
up to working point, and at last you
get to that state when man can only
do business successfully when under
the influence of alcohol.
THAT state, of course, does not
last, for in due sequence chronic alco-
holism has made the eye-strain suf
ferer unfit for anything but a course
of hospital treatment, and he is never
the same man again And not for
one moment has the eye-strain been
relieved, though the results have been
evanescently deadened.
What should have been done, of
course, was to consult an oculist. who
would have given a prescription for
spectacles. Then the victim would
have found himself able to work well
and only get healthy tired at the end
of the day
THE fault very often lies not in the
individual eyes, but in their inability
to focus properly together. The focus
ing muscles in their effort to remedy
tf's r~e straircd, and in consequence
give rise to general fatigue.
Il have had one interesting case in
point. A professional man, whose
work demanded mental concentration,
and who suffered from astigmatism,
became so i'll that he had to undergo
an operation.
"Surgically this was a success, but
he did not recover at all well as re-
CARDS his general health, and the med
ical man who attended him could not
say why he was so slow.
1.-THE man in six months was, how
ever, in his opinion fit enough to re-
turn to work. But he was attacked
frequently by fits of nervous exhaus-
ton, found brandy relieved them, and,
at last, took to carrying flask of the
spirit to Danish them.
Luckily for him, his doctor at last
noticing his eyes looked strained and
suspecting trouble there, sent him to
have his eyes examined, when it was
found that he had to wear glasses.
Now that he does so he is exuberantly
healthy and feels no need for spirits"
