Dragon Not china's Emblem.

As shown in its prompt reputation
by the republic Of China, the dragon
was not the emblem Of China; it was
the emblem of the late imperial fam
lily of Manchus. This Oriental dragon
Is one Of the powers Of the air, a.
though wingless; one Of the forces Of
nature which the Taoist religion has
defled. The dragon kings dwell part
" In water and partly on land; their
shrines are for that reason erected on
river banks. The germ Of the dragon
idea In the primitive races inheres In
some persistent memory Of the great
er lizards, such as the crocodile Of
the warmer waters. The Chinese
dragon being without wings Is accord
ingly closer to type than Is the winged
dragon Of the mythology Of our more
remote and northern race. AS late
Us the Historic animalium'' Of Con-
rad Gesner (1564) science believed
that one had but to travel far enough,
say to the more remote deflles Of the
Alps, and he would surely encounter
dragons.

THOUGHT SHE DESERVED AID
Mother Of Six Fine Babies Glad to
Receive Advice Of State
Board.


DR.. J. N. Hurry, secretary of the
state board Of health, some time ago
conceived the. idea OF sending to the
mother Of every baby reported at the
end of every month some educational
material from the state board office,
together with polite note wishing the
mother and child well, and Offering to
help the mother in any way the board
might do SO to enable the baby to be
started right in Its life battle In re-
ply to one of the communications, DIR.
Hurry few days ago received the
following letter:
II would like to inquire as to the
nature Of the help you are prepared to
give to the mother of six fine, healthy
youngsters. doubtless shall wish
advice, as sixty dollars month
doesn't admit of extensive fees to a
physician, and feel that as a woman
who has made the struggle have to
give my offspring the mental. physical

should have all the aid possible.

Curious Lore.

It has been remarked as a curious
circumstance that Bonaparte and Wei.
lington were born in the same year,
and that Burns and Hogg, the Scotch
poets, were both born on Jan. Is; but
It is more remarkable that the two
greatest dramatic poets of modern Eu.
rope, Shakespeare and Cervantes, both
died on the same day in the same
year, April %, 1916. It is further re.
markable that Shakespeare, like the
great Raphael and Sobieski, died on
the anniversary of his birth.-From
