TO certain extent Santa Fe may be said to

CHANGES IN CHINATOWN.
Residents of New York's Oriental Quarter Dress
for Dinner.

One reliable source of big city wheezes seems
to have dried up. The Chnks are longer to be
considered funny, the New York correspondent of
the Cincinnati Tmes-Star writes. Time when
hard working humorists could take a turn through
Chinatown and back with screamingly
funny story about Tapping panties and streaming
queues and pigeon English Now the Chinese res
idents have taken on different air. They act
like regular people ever since their mo1dy old
country got out of its grave clothes long enough
to put up a fight for liberty. They talk straight
to you and their dialect isn't bit funnier than
is the brogue of the newly arrived Irishman the
broken English of the German immigrant or the
lingo of the newcomer from Russia or the patois
Of the French Canadian. They look you right in
the eye They never did cringe any-memory fails
to recall any John Chnaman who would rub his
hands together to get trade-but they indie
pendent and self respecting now. Maybe the
facts are not related but there has been little dis
order in the Chinese quarter since that fever
broke out in the Chinese body polite. 1t may be,
Of course due to the fact that other people re-
spect them nowadays. In the old days they broke
into the news only the objects at which wit
was aimed or mysterious Orientals who liked
the black smoke and sold chop suey. Nowadays
they are figures in movement of world impor
lance. and they appreciate the fact The other
night a reporter went to Chinatown to see of
the prominent residents. The last time the re-
porter talked to him the Chinaman garbed
La John Laundrymans although his house was IL
Illuminated by gold embroidery. This time the re-
rorter found him wearing dinner jacket. Two

later, Gen. Lew Wallace, while
serving as governor, wrote his

eras the rulers who established the
seat of authority in the old palace
were designated respectively as
viceroy, captain general, political
chief, department commander and
governor, while the territory over

QUEER FISH HOOKS.

To go back as far as the stone age we have
only to turn to the inhabitants OF Ocsania, be-
cause these natives have never progressed any
farther in the art of capturing fish than did their
ancestors centuries ago. The Polynesian hooks
are generally barbed and some curious specimens
have been collected in New Zealand says the
Hawaiian Star. One of these is made from sec
ton of a dogs jawbone, single tooth, ehich
has been filed to sharp point, being left for the
barb In this same country a.hook that has been
pointed with human bone is regarded as possess
in exceptionally fine qualities for attracting the
fish
The best workmanship is exhibited in the hooks
which are used without bait and which correspond
to spoons. Pearl or other ir1descent Shell
furnishes the part which attracts the fish, and fire.
quenty the shank consists of the ribbed part of
she'll near the hinge of the valve, thereby giving
the hook spinning motion as it Is drawn through
the water. Many elaborate designs have a
wooden shank neatly carved and inlaid with
silver of haliotis SHE'LL while the barb is of sharp
ened bone. The extreme delicacy required in &C
curately piecng together one of these composite
hooks may be imagined.

THE ORANGE AND PINE
APPLE.

The orange contains citrlc acid
which is milder than the malic
acid of the apple. The percent
age of nutrition in it is very
small. 1t is best eaten in the
morning alone or with other
acid fruits or the banana. II
should not be eaten with bread,
meat, milk or other substantial
foods. Considering the small per-
centage of nutrition In it, the
orange is a very expensive food,
the apple being in every way
preferable.
Pineapple Is a valuable fruit,
especially in cases of weak
stomach digestion. 1t contains
all of the fruit acids and sub
stance which serves as digest
ant. 1t may be eaten with ba-
nanas or any other fruit. With
the banana it forms an excellent
combination where light but
nutritious meal is required, but
the fib>r should be carefully eK-
cluded because It is digested
with difficulty. 1t may be eat
en- alone for breakfast, where a
light morning meal is taken.
