NATIONAL SONG OF CHINA
Country Has Awakened to the Need
of Melody to inspire
Patriotism.

After the rejection of eight national
anthems composed in China since the
revolution, that of the Chinese minis
ter to Belgium, Wang Yam Pao, which,
together with the song OF the minister
Of agriculture, commerce and trade
Chang Tsein, belongs to the latest
compositions, is likely to be accepted
by the Chinese government. Following
is a translation of the first three
stanzas.
China, the sublime mountains and
luxuriant plains attest thy greatness.
Country of wonders, through thy hoary
civilization thy emperors have sacri-
feed themselves in ceding the rule n
the people.
The people have the supreme pow
er. So has taught Confucius and
Mengtse. And already in the hoary
times of Yao and Suen it had thus
been announced 10 the people. The
people is composed of five tribes. The
unity Of the five tribes is past dispute.
Then China is invincible.
Develop the wealth of the country,
improve agriculture, and make the
people happy. Education and culture
are the achievements of centuries. All
citizens are equal; for Confucius and
Mengtse have taught social equality"

BATTLES WON BY TOBACCO
influence Of my Lady Nicotine" ls
Fully Appreciated by the Brit
ish Government.

The value OF tabacco on active serv'
ice is now so we'll esteemed by the
military authorities that today one
sees the British government doins
what II had never done before-sup-
plying free tobacco to the troops.
Only within comparatively recent
times, however. has this necessity
been officially recognized. Wellington
condemned the practice Of smoking as
being "a species OF intoxication Occa-
stoned by the fumes OF tobacco"
Official efforts to discourage the use
OF tobacco were completely negaived
in the Crimean war. The privations
suffered then by the troops resulted
in officers and men taking to the
panacea adopted by their French and
Turkish allies. and by its aid their
discomforts were so alleviated that
ever since the practice Of smoking on
active service has been countenanced
by those in command.
In consequence tobacco has played
notable and beneficial part in the
wars OF the past century-in fact,
from Waterloo to South Africa. Prob
ably its solacing and inspiring quail
ties were never so strongly manifest
ed as in the Franco-German war Of
1870. It might be said, indeed, that
the crushing defeat inflicted on the
French was due largely to the soldiers
lack OF tobacco, added, as It was, to
the breakdown to the commissariat,
whereas on the German side the au.
thorlties did all they could to insure
the troops being plentifully supplied
with the weed.-Tit-Bits

VARS WORST SIDE
Austrlan's Sufferlngs When a
Captive In Russia.
One Of the Few Members Of Hls Regl-
ment Who Escaped Alive When
Command Was Practically
Wiped Out by tho Enemy.

The New York representative oI
an Austrian manufacturing firm wai
talking to a party Of friends, the war
as usual, being the subject of con
| versation.
THE Vienna firm / represent" he
said, is composed of a father and
two sons, and is Of sufficient impor
tance to employ a thousand workmen
and sell its goods all over the world
though II is not doing any business
outside of America at present. One
of the sons went to war as cap
tain.
Not long ago ! had a letter from
the captain by way OF Vladivostok
through American friends there The
young fellow told me that in battle
with the Russians his entire regiment
had been caught in an ambush or an
enfilading fire, and every one of them,
except Sc, had been killed. The SO
were captured. and he was one of
them, but he had not escaped the
deadly hail of bullets. One had struck
him in the mouth and passed through
his head, coming out back of the ear;
a piece of shrapnel had struck him
on the right side Of the face, destroy
ing the right eye, taking away most
of his cheek and jaw, cutting off the
right ear and destroying the hearing;
another piece had gone through the
upper part Of his chest and the ad-
joining shoulder, and a bullet had
pierced his thigh.
THAT would seem to be almost
enough reason for a man to die on the
field of battle, but the captain did
not. Instead he was able in some
fashion to walk, and the Russians
made him walk six miles to a railroad
station, with other prisoners. The
medical treatment he received was
hardly worth mentioning, though, evil
IDENTIFY 1t was enough to keep him to-
gether.
AT the railroad he was loaded into
a rough car, and for 20 days he was
on his way to some point or other
where, after = day or two, he was
loaded up again in the same kind of
transportation and given a trip of 33
days. At the end of this journey he
was landed in a hospital at Vladivo-
stok, thousands of miles from where
he started, and suffering tortures all
the way. Still, he did not quit living,
and when he wrote me he was able to
get out and move around.
He said the prisoners were prac-
Hcally at liberty about the town, but
that really did not mean much, be-
cause it was so cold that they were
around very little during the day, and
If a man tried to get away and re-
mained out all night he was certain
to freeze. He had not been able to
tell any of his story to his people at
home and had managed to get let
ter to me through the American con.
sui.
Il have written to his people, but |
hadn't the heart to tell them all his
awful story, and for that reason /
lid not forward his letter as l had |
received it. / am now making an
effort through the state department |
1t Washington to have him released,
,r something done to better his con-
lition, though he does not complain
It all as one might suppose he would"

Laraest Erelaht Locomotlve

The Matt H. Shay" the large
triple Mallet locomotive built by the
Baldwin Locomotive works for the
Erie railroad, recently made a trial
trip over the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road from Baltimore to Philadelphia.
The trainload consisted of So coal cars
carrying 4,O12 tons of coal. The total
weight Of the train, including the To-
comotive, must have been about $500
tons.
The train left Baltimore at 6:10 in
the morning and reached Philadelphia
at 4:3O in the afternoon, taking ten
hours and twenty minutes for the
9S-mile trip. The engine weighs 423As
tons in working order, and its draw
bar pull, working compound, is 80
American tons.

sandaIs Worn bv Mexleans.

Wooden sandals are now being worn
to a great extent by the laboring
classes in Mexican cities and by ma
tives engaged in farming, in place Of
the old form of leather sandals used
by the Mexicans for many centuries
They are being substituted for the
primitive homemade leather sandals
because Of the scarcity and high price
Of native tanned leather because of
the scarcity Of sheepskin thongs for
lacing and because the native Indian
is becoming more particular about the
appearance of his feet

Chinese "chons.U

American manufacturers who are
seeking to establish their goods in
China are warned in a recent federal
report not to minimize the Importance
of the Chop" or trademark, in China.
The Chinese attach great importance
to the chop.
A striking example of the unwilling
ness to accept a new chop is shown by
the experience of a Shanghai impor-
ter. He had developed some sale for
canned salmon among the Chinese and
had sold a certain brand Of American
salmon.
This brand had a label showing a
salmon with the tail turned up. A
change was made in the label and the
salmon was depicted with It's tab
turned down. When a new shipment
arrived with the chop showing sal
mon with down-turned tail the import
er found he could not sell the con-
signment to the natives.

Naturally coIored Photos.

How can I make Photographic prints
in the true colors Of the original sub
ject?
This question has been asked by
every inventor in the Photographic
field for many, many years. And it
remained unanswered until recently,
when Frederic Eugene Ives, the Amer
lean inventor of the half-tone process
of printing and the three-color half
tone process, took out patents on this
new Photographic method.
The taking of photographs in colors,
as invented by Mr.. Ives, is said to be
so simple that any intelligent amateur
can master it. Mr.. Ives has also In
vented many devices in the field of
applied optics,

of Paterson, N. j., has discovered the
horrible perils that lurk in the chau-

"a dangerously unsanitary practice"
through which millions of ferocious
germs, intent upon evil, are set free
in the circumambient atmosphere,

unsuspecting and unsterilized audi

danger can only be imagined Ever

Perborate Powder Prevents Infe,

Perborate Powder Prevents Infection
The very latest treatment foI
wounds, cuts or broken blisters, in
which there is contamination or sus.
pected contamination from the soil
is to powder them with sodium per.
borate. This salt, when mixed with
blood or pus, liberates large quantities
Of free oxygen and keeps this up for
about twenty-four hours, according tc
Dr. A. G. r. Foulerton, who contrib.
utes to the London Lancet an exhaus.
tive study of the effects of the per
borate.
The bacilli that cause tetanus and
those that produce gaseous gangrene
are killed and prevented from sporting
by the oxygen. Doctor Foulerton says
that washing out thoroughly with per.
oxide of hydrogen is the method to
use when this treatment can be ap
piled quickly, but it is not always
possible to do this, while soldiers can
carry in their frst-aid package a small
parcel of the perborate and can
sprinkle it on their wounds them
selves.

| ders. The lei makers, men and wom-
en-, young and old, seated on mats on
a shady sidewalk deftly string their
leis and as deftly dispose of their fra
grant wares. The enlisted men of
army and navy take to the Hawaiian
lei as a duck to water; it adds not a
| little to the gayety of the passing
| show that so many manly heads are
crowned with carnation wreaths, so
many tall lads in khaki are not
| ashamed OF the picturesque Hawaiian
custom. When a transport is in and
the visiting soldiers are seeing the
town, then the lei sellers reap a rich
harvest, then the streets of Honolulu
are very much alive, business is as
brisk as the trade wind that blows
down from the mountains.
As to the effect on island life of the
presence OF the army, it goes without
saying that there are good and bad
consequences. In the interest of
keeping things up" it is a pretty
good thing to have such a lot of peo-
pie about whose white clothes are
so very white, whose shoes are so
shiny, whose apparel and accoutre-
ments are so well brushed and well
put on. 1t is good for beholder and
beheld. there is a moral value to it
as well as to the soldierly posture Of
chest up, chin in. Taken as a whole,
taking into consideration this huge
body of familyless men, the soldiers
impress the Honolulu folk as remark
ably well behaved.
Rudeness to women on street cars
or street is seldom noticed; on the
other hand, the men in khaki display
old school courtesy in public that it
is heartening to find surviving. And
courage as well as courtesy has come
to the fore in the army's residence
in Hawaii. Life-saving at the beach
again and again, is the record; quick
and heroic action in times of emer-
gency. And daring rescue work in |
the mountains, is to the credit of the |
soldier in those mountainous islands
out there at the crossroads of the Pa |
cific.

and no. Would ever 5000 people be |
in approval of anything?

WORTHY OF HIGH RANK
CHEF NOT USUALLY ACCORDED
HIS PROPER POSITION.
When One Comes TO Think Of II, the
Preparation Of Food Plays a Tre-
mendous Part In the Work
Of the World.

Hail TO the chef who in triumph
advances!" Why not chef, instead
of chief?
Nobody ever gives enough credit
10 the cook. We all enjoy a good
dinner, but after it is eaten, and the
dishes cleared away, how seldom we
think what has been the effect on
humanity OF the kind OF meals that
have been eaten three times a day
sometimes less, rarely more) for
centuriesl
Cooking is one of the principal
forces in civilization, and It has
played a tremendous part in bring
ing mankind to the high plane 1t now
holds.
The principal reason for cooking
our food is to destroy disease germs.
For many ages no one knew what
caused Illness, but now nearly all
maladies are traceable to these tiny
germs, many of which are found in
food, and can be destroyed only by
the heat of cooking.
Man, owing to the very com
plicated machinery of his body, falls
prey to disease more easily than
the animals Consequently food which
an animal can take without harm
may kill a man Cooking destroys
a large proportion of the parasites, mi
crobes and bacteria in food, thus CIV
ing man chance to digest diet that
otherwise would kill him.
Frequently one forgets that cook
ing is primarily not intended to make
food more pleasant to the taste, but
to make it easier to digest. But
when a dish is toothsome 1t makes
the mouth water, or N other words
it causes a great deal OF saliva to
flow, with the result that the saliva
and food go down into the stomach
together, and the food is more easily
made available for digestion.
If, however, the cook is anxious to
tickle the taste of the man who is to
eat her food and thinks more OF
satisfying the palate of an epicure
than of the digestibility of the meal,
she is only storing up trouble for tho
eater.
In order to achieve the best results
In the destruction Of bacteria, and
in the increasing of digestibility
meat and other foods should be sub
jected first to intense heat, so as to
form a retaining skin, as is done in
roasting or broiling. Then the heat
should be reduced and kept on for a
long term, during which the juices
gradually soften the muscular fibers.
This acts as a deathblow to the
millions of bacteria which would 9th
erwise have found a place in the stom-
ach of the man or the woman who
was to eat 1t.
From this point Of view, therefore,
the cook is one of the most impor-
tant factors in the upward progress
of the race from brute to man. Cooks
have been as much a benefactor to
the race as a whole as they have been |
a boon to the hungry. 1t is the cook
who has borne the banner Of prog
ress through all the ages.
