Land Of WheeIbarrows.

The wheelbarrow is the mos COM
mon medium Of transportat.cn In
Shantung, China. The load Is bal.
anced about the wheel so that the
workman does not have to carry a por-
ton OF the load, as is the case '. 18th
the American wheelbarrow. Some
wheelbarrows have but one push man:
some having a pulling man as we'll;
some have one, two or three donkeys
to aid in the pulling, and some are
equipped with a sail to obtain the
help of favorable winds. The equip
ment depends On the load carried, the
maximum load being about a ton.
Transportation by wheelbarrow ia
from five to eight times as expensive
as transportation by rail in this prov.
ince. Thus, the native methods of
land transportation, oven with labor
receiving a wage less than ten cents
gold a day, are costly, disproportion-
ately so as compared with the prices
OF other commodities. Yet Shantung
has tens of thousands Of wheelbarrows
engaged in traffic. 1t is easy to an.
p~reciate what railroads will mean to
the development Of this densely pop.
ulated province.

IN THE MATTER OF UNCLE JOE

II can't imagine what Cannon
MEANS" snorts Colonel Roosevelt
in reference to Uncle Joe's threat
to publish some of their CORES
pondence. Much as we respect the
colonel's unvarying devotion to
veracity we cannot believe that he
is wholly ignorant of Uncle Joe's
meaning.
Uncle Joe is in process of politi-
. cal resurrection and he has no
h%ankering to be hit on the head be-
fore he has fairly emerged from
the tomb. He wants to be let
alone. If the Colonel were in Uncle
Joe's position he would not care to
have some passionate Progressive
kicking him in the face before he
had time to shake off his shroud.
Ordinary prudence would coun-
sci a different course ON the colo
nel's part. If he ever runs for
president again, he will need the
help Of Uncle Joe and all the other
wicked Republicans who understand
the process of convincing voters
that black is white. Uncle Joe
himself was once a Progressive and
knows how the game is played.
There was a time when he was INT
of the most glittering jewels in
the Roosevelt diadem. He still has
Progressive possibilities if he is
not treated right. The colonel
himself cannot forgive and forget
faster than Uncle Joe if there Is
anything in it for him.
1t is all very we'll to batter PEN
rUse because Penrose is used to it,,
and even the people who support
him make a business Of d~eploring
him; but it is different with Uncle
Joe. He is not especially virtuous,
but he is wise and crafty and vim
dictive-and besides he may have
those Roosevelt letters he is talking
about. New York World.

The discovery in one of the great

SALUTED BY A SONG.
Jenny Lind's Graceful Tribute to our
National Flag.

Jenny Lind's Graceful Tribute to Our
National Flag.
There is a pretty story told of the
honor Jenny Lind once paid to the
American flag. 1t was when she was
in New York, more than sixty years
ago. The frigate St Lawrence had
inst returned from a cruise. and the
midshipmen went to hear the Swedish
nightingale sing at Castle Garden the
ater, and the next day they called on
her in a body Their enthusiasm and
her graciousness soon brought about
n visit to the ship and the acceptance
of n luncheon rendered her. When she
was about to leave the ship she looked
ND at the stars and stripes and said:
81 wish to salute your flag"
So, standing ON the gangway, she
sang "The Star Spangled Banner" ST.
lentiy from all over the ship men gath
cred with uncovered heads until the
ships family were all assembled on
deck. Nor were they her only audi
ence. for borne upon the still air her
song had been heard by many other
vessels near by, and when the won
drous voice ceased steamers blew their
whistles and exultant cheers rose from
all sides, filling the harbor with their
tribute of applause for the beloved
artist and of loyal reverence for the
flag she had so beautifully saluted.-

EXERCISE AND EATING.

A good dinner at night is necessary
for those whose pleasure or work

binary folk, who dine at 6 or and go

some repast should be taken at the
end of the day, when muscles or nerves
are more or less exhausted, says a
physician.
A "tired stomach is a weak stom-
ach" is a golden rule to remember.
Yet how often one hears people say:
1--WE been rushing about all day, and
am tired to death. must have a big
meal to make up for it!' You may put
the big meal into the stomach, but you
cannot make the stomach digest it.
A belief lives strong in the hearts
and minds of the majority of man.
kind, including persons of weak diges-
ton, that a quick brisk walk taken
before a meal gets up an appetite and
helps the stomach digest the food.

do. Exercise spreads the blood through
the body. The old fashioned midday
dinner is not a bad thing.-Washing-

Crossing Rivers and Swamps Tourists

More than once, says John Fl. Weeks
in his book "Among the Primitive Ba-
kongo." | had in my San Salvador
tourney a strong krooboy a part OF
whose duty it was to carry me over
the many streams and swamps that
crossed the path. His name was re-
markable one. do not know how he
came by it, but the first time l met
him I,asked him his name, and he re-
piled in krooboy English, my name,
massa, be Napoleon Bonaparte."
Sometimes Napoleon would have me
on his shoulders in the middle of a
river, and feeling the rush of water
against his legs he would begin to
quake and say: "Massa, l no fit for
carry you. go let you fall"
would reply, Napoleon, l fit for
give you one cupful of rice suppose you
no drop me-"
He would then take few more care
full PAGES, and feeling the swirl Of wa
ter more strongly about his legs and
the stones slipping beneath his feet he
would nervously call out in his curious
English: "Massa, massa, I no fit! /
bound for let you fall"
Napoleon often received from me the
promise of two or three cupfuls Of
rice to steady him before he landed
me high and dry upon the farther
bank. At times we were not so fortu-
nate. Then both of us went down into
the water, and we congratulated our
selves when it was a stream and not
a nasty, muddy swamp.

that they will retain their color even
when denied all green food.-Exchange.
