CHINESE INGENUITY.

How One cevsr Was Made to Fit .
Roomfui Of sisspsr&
A writer in a French magazine tells
a curious story about how they man
age cheap lodging houses in China.
Along Chinese roads, it seems. there
are many Of these lodging houses,
where the charge for a nights iolg-
ing is considerably less than cent.
All the bedding provided is one huge
mass OF feathers, into which all the
guests burrow.
Formerly they used to get blankets
but some time ago those WHO ran
these primitive inns learned that their
losses on account OF the theft OF
blankets by guests were far too large
Something. they decided. had to b.
done. Finally an ingenious man among
them hit on this:
Over the feather filled room Of his
lodging house he hung an enormous
canvas covering. In the daytime II
hung near the ceiling. At night it was
lowered by means Of pulleys until |,
covered the entire mass Of feathers
and all those sleeping thereon, thu:
taking the place Of individual blankets
This huge canvas was provided with
a large number Of small Sits through
which the guests might stick thei
heads and escape suffocation beneath
the immense covering.
Early each morning the loud pound
ing Of a drum served to waken thu
slcepers and warn them to get thei
heads out Of the Sits in the canvas
Thereupon it was raised again to TIL
ceiling and fastened there to avail
the next batch Of sieepers.

Where is the Humane Society?

Where is the Humane Society?
Richmond used to have one and
maybe has one now but it isn't work
ing overtime II it now exists.
This is the time O year when its
officers should patrol round and see
how many horses are left standing in
the open, unblanketed and uncheck-
ed, while their owners warm their
knees beneath the free lunch coun-
ter.
Recently the hitching rack at the
corner of Ninth and Main streets
which had been there since the stone
age, was removed.
1t is the corner passed by the
| writer any number of times each
day and 1t was never passed with
out seeing horses in all kinds of
weather left without any regard for
comfort.
In cold weather only now and then
would one be blanketed and then in
a careless fashion as though the COW
ering had been thrown on with a pitch
fork and remained as it lighted.
But one of the worst infections is
the check.
At noon horse has been seen tied
! to the rack, the check rein unloosen-
ed, and at ten o'clock at night this
same horse has been seen standing in
the same place in the same position.
| How would you like to have some
thing rammed into your mouth, some
thing else tied to the back of your
head and the latter jerked out Of an
gle to remain hours at time in a
| forced and artificial position.
The thing is an outrage and every
one who passes a horse under these
circumstances should loosen the rein
no matter who or where or when.
The truth is the check-rein should
be abolished.
And this time of year every citizen
with a humanitarian impulse should
interest himself in the comfort of the
horses. and indeed, the other dumb
animals. whose owners neglect and
abuse them.
Cats, in instance.
| If a family owns a cat it should be
fed by that family.
If they aren't going to feed it, give
| it away or chloroform it.
! How many people are tormented
with other peoples cats proving
round their kitchen-steps, the back
porch and the garbage can.
To say nothing of preying on the
birds who haunt the single tree in
the yard?
Lean and hungry" dogs, too, who
become expert in landing choice NOR
sells from your scrap-heaps are known
to every householder.
If you can't feed cat or dog, OF
don't intend to, then don't have such
an appendage to your menage.
Both dogs and cats, also, suffer
much for water.
pan Or receptacle of some sort
should be kept filled with fresh wa

to live.
Many persons who have pets, are un

If the town doesn't turn out to hear

those of the Metropolitan but they
are unsteady and dramatically of a

In addition they are given in Eng.

"Thrss Sheets In the Wind"

'What was the origin Of the phrase
for drunkenness. three sheets in the
windY" a landsman asked a sailor the
other day. WELL" said the sailor,
"I'll explain that matter to you. The
two lower corners Of ships sail are
held tAut by two ropes. one called a
tack and another called a sheet. The
tack ia always kept very tight. but
the sheet is loosrned according to the
wind. and the looser the sheet is the
more freely the sail swings. If the
sail Is quite free its sheet is said to
be in the wind Now. suppose that
all three Of n ships sails were quite
free. They would then fly about very
crafty. and the ship would wabble.
The course Of the ship would be a zig
zag one. and the reason for this would
be that she had three sheets in the
wind That. guess. Is why a man
when he zigzags in his course Is said
to be three sheets in the wind also"
