Complications in China.

China was confronted with a stiff problem at the introduction of the tele- graph. It was hopeless to think of combining the western Morse dots and dashes in sufficient variety to express the 3,O00 or 4,000 characters used by fairly literate Chinese, not to speak of the entire 10000 or so known to the highly educated men of that race A phonetic system was barred by the fact that the same Chinese monosyllable means different things according to the context of the intonation and also by the diversity of dialects. A Dane, Professor Schellerup, found the solu- tion. The 7,0O0 characters most com- monly used are given their equivalents In 8. code of numerals and these numer- als are telegraphed, Thus cash in the code is 6030. If any ore wanted to tele- graph the number 6030 itself he would send the code equivalents of the words six thousand" and thirty
 The institution of its parliament also brings embarrassment to China. there being so many dialects within the vast republic. Pidgin English has long been the Esperanto of China. A travel CT tells, for instance, how he heard 8 man from Canton and a native of Tien- tsin resort to it as the only possible medium of mutual understanding. But why not write the speeches instead of speaking them? Not only are the writ ten characters the same throughout China, but they are almost identical in China, Japan and Korea, however wide ly the spoken words differ.
 Business men in these countries who cannot converse can communicate cas- fly by letter.aDd in the Chin ,-Japanese war Japanese and others could always make Chinese natives understand their wants by scratching the characters 1n snow or sand with their bayonets.

'As London has succumbed to the rag time craze, will it also take kind ly to that peculiar form of humor now prevalent in the United States which consists of a play on the syilables of words?" the London Chronicle asks. For example, if one were asked to describe George Edwardes according to this new American humor 1t might be said that he was the man who put the gay into 'gayety.' In like manner Mir Assquith might be described as the man responsible for the rage in 'suf- frage' while the sure in insurance could easily be attributed to Lloyd George It is a silly form of wit, but immensely popular on the other side

improved Conditions in ireland.

According to the registrar general of Ireland the census of 1911 showed that in that year there were S61,S79 in habited houses in the country as com pared with S58,158 in 1901. The av- craze number of persons per home was , in 1911 as against 5,2 in 1901 and 6.2 in 1S41. Tenements of less than five rooms in 1911 comprised about 70 per cent of the total and 75 per cent in 1901. One-room tenements in Ireland declined in number during the last decade from 79149 to 5S,334. Educa- ton statistics showed that there was an increase in both primary and sec ondary schools, especially the latter;
 that there was marked decline in il- literacy; and that there was a higher percentage of pupils attending school. The number of persons receiving poor the population in 1901 to 17.s in 1911.

Blotchy All Over. Became Scaly. Scratched Until Made Them Bleed. Used Cuticura Soap and 0int- ment. Face and Head Cured.

24 Gilbert St., New Britain, Conn. = :"My little boys face used to get awful red and sometimes when used to wash it it would bleed. Then it got blotchy all over and was horrid looking. His face broke out in red spots and then became scaly. He used to scratch them until he would make them bleed. Then his head started to break out. He was restless at night and com plained of bis face being sore.. His head was all little cuts from scratching it.
 So thought would send for sample of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I only used them for 8 few days when there was such a change in bis looks. His face began to get clear. When the sample was gone I got one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment. I washed his face with the Cuticura Soap and warm water every night and morning and applied the Cutics1ra Ointment for four weeks and his face was cured. got another cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Oint- ment and was only using them for two weeks and they made his scalp nice and clean. His head was cured" (Signed) Mrs. Isabelle Guenther. May 20, 1913.
