MADE TARGETS FOR ENEMY
Chinese Soldiers in Battle Of Ping
Yang All Opened ParasoIs When
II RaIned.

No one who has studied the military
methods of China will be surprised
to learn that shells" of painted wood
have been picked up In the German
concession at Hankow. This Is truly
Chinese. Not so very long ago each
soldier was supplied with an oilcloth
parasol, and fan which he tucked
up his sleeve. During the battle of
Ping Yang. when the rain came on,
the parasols we're opened and the
enemy found the men easy targets, es-
pecially as each one wore a large
white disk bearing the number of his
regiment on his breast and back.
At the arsenal at Nankin It was
once decided to shorten a Krupp can
non which had arrived there because
1t was too long, and to make solid
shells" which would not burst. Green
sprouts were also seen on the logs
from which gun stocks were to be
made. But the "limit," as one may
say, was reached at Hankow when an
Austrian warship entered the port and
saluted the fort. The Chinese at.
tempted to return the courtesy, but
stopped short after five or six dis
charges. AS the Chinese commander
afterward explained, when the third
artilleryman had been killed we de.
cided to stop firing"

What "tumbler" really is may be

follows: Had few friends to din.
ner. Tried my new tumbling-glasses.
Very successful; all got drunk early"
These tumbling-glasses, soon called
"tumblers" for short, were made with
round or pointed bottom so that
they could not be set down when they
contained liquids without falling over
and spilling their contents. They
were made as sort of joke to con.
duce to rapid drinking.

Perfume compoundina an Art.

The compounding of perfumes is a
distinct branch Of chemistry-a per.
fume maker may be regarded as an
artist Of chemistry, blending his ingre-
dients with the care Of one and the
taste and skill Of the other profession.
Almost all perfumes have as a basis
ambergris or civet, and while these
materials are most necessary, great
care must be exercised in their use,
for a grain too much will make the
perfume distressingly irritating to the
user. The same is true of many com.
binations Of scents, such combinations
even producing hysteria in a mild or
severe form. If indulged in at all but
one distinct scent should be used.
