AN INGENIOUS C00LIE.
How He Helped the Doctors During
Cholera Epidemic.

lnoIcra epidemic.
In a life and death battle with a
cholera epidemic in Human province,
China, In which an American medical
missionary was the leading figure, one
of the most serious difficulties was met
successfully by one of the mental hos
pitol coolies.
Since every patient had to have from
one pint to several quarts OF distilled
water with salt in it, the water could
not be distilled fast enough. For two
days the staff struggled along with
makeshifts while thinking up plan to
build a still for little money without
the loss of time This coolie solved
the problem. In one day and at cost
of less than 50 he built still which
later produced twenty gallons Of dis
TILED water every twenty-fo four hours.
The still was simplicity itself. For
cooking food the Chinese use large
fat. saucer-like pans made OF iron.
with one of these above and another
below the coolie made drum OF gal
vanized iron with a hole in the side for
a trough. Into the lower pan hot wa
ter for boiling was poured. Under
meath, hot fire sent up constant
steam vapor. The upper kettle was
kept cool by frequent changings of cold
water. The vapor from the lower ket-
tie, condensed on the lower surface of
the cool upper kettle, dripped off into
the trough, and filed bottle after bot
tie with distilled water.--World's Work.

II Deserved It's Name, and u Chesply
Advertised Itself.
During a vacation spent In the north
we were driven through most pros
porous country. lined with beautiful
farmhouses.
Among others we passed a white
farm. The house was white, the barns
were white, the fences were white.
Milk white cows were grazing in the
fields, and snow white chickens were
running upon the lawn. A huge white
dog lay upon the grass, and a white
horse, with white harness and white
carriage. was hitched to white post
by a white strap The white graveled
drive was bordered with white rocks.
A white fountain threw up a white
spray, while white ducks foated upon
the water beneath.

In a white hammock.
The whole effect was most striking
and was an excellent example OF adj
vertisement without expense. The cost
would have been the same If no atten-
ton had been paid to one color There
was no need of giving name to that
farm. 1t is known as the White farm
for miles around and is one OF the
show places of the district
The same idea, of course. could be
carried out with other shades.-Pro-

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Cohan's Latest Play "Seven Keys to
Baldpate," Next Friday.

"Seyen KEYS to Baldpate," George NJ.
Cohan's latest play, which is to be seen
at the opera house on Friday evening,
Sept. Is, is an entirely different vein
from any OF his previous efforts, and is
strikingly original. A writer Of dime
novel fiction makes a wager with ms
friend. the owner OF Ba'dpate, sum
mer resort perehed on top Of The noun
tains of Vermont, that he will shut bim-
self in the empty hotel and IN "A hours
write a story of 10000 words. TIE bet
Il for $4,000; we'll worth the adventure.
He reaches his destination from New
York half frozen, in the midst OF a
raging blizzard. The caretahcrs have
been wired by the owner to make linn
comfortable and his interview with them
is unique, for they deem him crazy to
undertake such Job, and their rustic
New England simplicity is clcyerly
brought out. They tell him of noun,
tain hermit surnamed Peter, alleged to
be a woman-hater because his wife
eloped with travelling salesman The
ghost who inhabits the region IS also
described They start fire, arrange
room for his work and, departing, hand
him the only key to Baldpnte. ms
ends the prologue to the play, as he locks
the door to keep out the warning ele-
ments raging without Dnring the night
six others let themselves in with as
many keys, each being the only key 10
Baldpate. The hermit, incorporating as
ghost, with white sheet overhead, is
among these. A millionairc's right hand
man has entered and put 100000 in the
Office safe-money to pay 4 corrupt may

arrives a newspaper woman reporter,

ing widow in love with the mayor ac-
companies her, also female blacknail-

all kinds of holdups and pistol pointing
intrigies and counter moves during the
night, including a murder and the arrest
by the police of the whole outfit. The
epilogue shows the real situation, when
the caretakers return and the story is
handed in with a few minutes to spare,
The owner is 'phoned and the wager
