KEEP UP UNREST IN CHINA
Fervent Believers In Evil Spirits and
Kindred Invisible Agencies Source
OF Much Trouble.

It is a common belief among the ig-
norant classes of the Chinese that
the innumerable evil spirits of the
dead are real and terrible demons.
These demons are believed to be able
to subject the relatives to the most
evil state Of bondage and suffering.
Superstition runs SO rampant
throughout China, In spite Of the
sprinkle of education and advances
made during the last decade by occi-
dental commerce and missionary ef-
forts, that the average native firmly
believes in the existence Of invisible
agencies. These superstitious agen-
cies can mysteriously cut Off queues
and bring about sickness or accident
or other dire disasters.
Because Of this superstitious fear
and belief in the presence of evil de-
mons, many of the Chinese are fire.
quently aroused to the widest. most
uncomfortable state of excitement.
These latter outbreaks manifest them
selves in different phases Of public
disorder and rioting. For example, in
1877 panic broke out in which a
queue-cutting mania occurred.
The later Boxer outbreak was g.
gantic illustration of how supersti-
tious fear can arouse the average Mon.
golian. Under the stress of high ex-
element and fever, the average ig-
norant Chinaman, led on by unscru-
pulous leaders, is made to actually be-
lieve that all the laws of nature have
for their especial benefit been sud
denly repealed. The ignorant, super.
stitious mind Of the native is readily
worked up to the point where he be-
lieves he bears a charmed life and
that his body is invulnerable to rifle
bullets, exploding artillery shells or
other missiles Of war.
Difficult as It Is to believe, there
are native fatalists existing today in
China SO wildly superstitious that
they believe no sword has ever been
forged which can cut their charmed
lives. Obviously, they have never
gone up against the real thing In &C.
cidental warfare, but 1t is with such
sophistries that these fatalists in
flame the superstitious minds of their
ignorant followers. The disturbing
and perilous element among the Ce-
lestials. with their wild superstitions,
is impossible to estimate, but in spite
of the marvellous advances during the
last two decades, China Is still filled
with such dangerous men. One of
the great needs of modern China is
some educational method whereby
these wicked and evil states of the
ignorant, superstitious mind of the Ce-
lestial can be overcome.-Clyde Wit

Surnames of Royalty.

The royal families of Europe have
not generally surname because
mostly (unlike the English houses. of
Stuart and Tudor, which were the
respective surnames of the first king
OF each house before he assembled the
throne) they are descended in the
male line from some territorial counts
existing long previous to the period
In which the somewhat modern GUS
tom of surnames prevailed. King
George v, derives in the male line
from the ancient counts of Victim
(flourishing In the tenth century, >,
afterwards electors Of Saxony, dukes
OF SAKE Coburg Gotha, etc. His ances-
tors in the male line were Of the house
of Este. one of whom, Azo of Este.
married early in the tenth century the
daughter and heiress of Guelph, duke
of Bavaria, from which match sprang
in the male line the dukes Of Bruins.
wick-Luenenburg, afterwards electors
of Hanover and kings of Great Britain.
The members of the British royal
family are described by their prince
ly titles in proceedings in the house
OF lords, and no allusion is made to
any surname-for instance, they sign
the test roll merely by their personal
or Christian name, and we know
nothing Of any surname which apper-
tanned by right or by usage to his late
majesty. King Edward. or to his mai.
esty, King George V.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Observation-Disclosures

Philadelphia, April Two bibli-
cal miracles were explained by Prof.
Camden NJ. Cobern. explorer and
ar.haeloglst, who has just returned
from Palestine, in an address here
yesterday.
Prof. Cobern visited the oasis at
Kadesh Barnea, where Moses struck
the rock with his rod and brought
forth water for the lsraelites. He de.
clared that Moses knew OF the pres
ence Of TIE spring and that he had
struck the rock to indicate to his fol.
lowers that water was to be found
there. The explorer said the spring
is located somewhat below the level
Of the surrounding desert and Is Wis
ible only for a short distance. The
oasis on which It was found, he said
was very small and is still held sa
cred by the Arabs.
The progress Of the Israelites across
the Red Sea was made possible ,ac-
cording to DR.. Cobern by peculiar
phenomenon which occurs once in a
century, which, by the wind blowing
from certain direction leaces a
portion of the scaled almost bare.
The Israeites upon their departure
from Egypt, the speaker said, could
have reached Palestine route but they
found this barred by Notifications.
Enemies barred them at Sinai and
Suez which compelled Moses to take
the southern course at the Red Sea

No Use.

The civilians who volunteered the
services Of themselves and their mo-
tor cars to convey the Fatherland's
holiday gifts to the German troops in
the trenches at the front were sum-
moned before gray old Bayarian
general to receive instructions as to
their behavior in the enemys country.
The general explained to them that
they might expect in passing through
a village to be fred on by francs
tireurs, and added that the persons
who fired the shots might not always
be men entitled to bear arms.
Take an example" said he, fixing
his eagle eye upon one Of the volun-
teers; suppose you have entered a
Belgian village, and while you are
spinning along through the market
square there is a lively fusillade di.
rected at you from the surrounding
houses. You turn toward your assail-
ants and see nothing but empty win
dows. Only in the second story Of
one house an old woman is peering
out. What you'd you do in that case.

DROVE AWAY THE T00THACHE
In His Thirst for Revenge the Colonel
Had No Time to Think Of Physi-
cal Ailments.

One morning the colonel rolled out
OF his blankets with the jumping
toothache, and, though he exhausted
all the remedies in camp, nothing had
any effect. II was 40 miles to the
nearest town, with the chances against
finding a dentist there, and II was
finally decided to appeal to one Of the
away. He came over in response to
message, and, after taking look
at the tooth, which was double one
on the upper Jaw, the cowboy said:
"Kurnel, | kin shoot that tooth out
as slick as grease II you don't mind
the scar It will leave on your cheeks
Shoot It Quit" shouted the colonel.
why, man, you must be crazy"
"wall, mebbe kin pick in enough
powder to blow It out"
"Never!"
might chuck It out with piece Of
iron and stone!' continued the cow
boy.
"And you might go to Texas and be-
yondl" exclaimed the suffering and in.
dignant man.
I'm only telling you how we do II
out here. and II you don't want that
tooth out you'll hev to stand the pain"
The cowboy started for his station,
but after a gallop Of a mile he re-
turned to beckon the rest of us aside
and said:
"He seems to be a purity squar' sort
OF man though leetle techy and
I'm sorry fur him. 10 he good rider?"
"Only fair"
kin he shoot"
mot very straight"
"Then l think lean cure that tooth
ache"
He spent two minutes unfolding the
plot and then went over to the suf-
ferer and said:
"Kurnel, I've come back to say
you ar a BOBBY"
what" yelled the colonel, as he
sprang up from his seat before the
campfire.
"A BOBBY and a squaw, kurnel, and
likewise burned old liar"
The colonel jumped for him, but the
cowboy lodged and ran for his horse.
We had another ready saddled with
two loaded revolvers in the holsters,
and the "booby" sprang into the sad
die and gave chase. After getting out
on the prairie half a mile the cowboy
began to circle and shoot and yell,
and the colonel followed him and shot
away the whole IL bullets without
sending one within five feet Of him.
When the twelfth one had been fred
the kindhearted cowboy rode off at
the top of his speed and the colonel
came into camp to dismount and
say:
Get me hundred cartridges and
my own horse and I'll follow that man
to the end Of the earth"
'How's the toothache, colonel?" was
asked.
''Toothache! Why, It's all gone, and
I'll have that fellows scalp II have
to stay out here all summer!"-Wash.
