When You Grasp Il
One time l entered a Chinese
medical restaurant with my inter
prefer. This was in Canton. and
doctors sent patients there to eat
food which would cure them of GER
tain illnesses. All around were live
animals and dead ones-monkeys,
owls, cats, lizards, snakes, deer and
30 on. l paused to glance in a glass
case filled with live snakes when an
other patron came up, a Chinese.
who carefully picked out a certain
snake, which an attendant then took
from the cage, and which was at
once killed and cooked.
II asked my interpreter what on
earth that Chinese gentleman want
ed to eat snake meat for, and the
interpreter replied: You know,
sir, how fast a snake can travel on
the ground, Notwithstanding the
fact he has no legs? Well. sir. try
to imagine how fast a snake could
travel if he did have legs. The gen.
tleman who is now consuming that
snake is troubled with rheumatism
in his knees, which prevents him
from walking fast or far. Therefore,
he eats snake to get strength in his
legs

I hadn't thought of it myself. As
for monkeys, you know that a mon
key has extraordinary strength in
his hands, wrists and arms; that is
why he can swing from limb to limb

medical restaurant were eating
monkey steak and chops. My in
terpreter pointed out several who
had equity affections of the finger
joints, and so on, according to his

their favorite pet birds in cages,

The "GoId Snake"

A Mexican superstition, very COM
mon among miners in that country,
relates to the "gold snake" This
species of serpent is perfectly harm
less and very handsome, being green
in color and with a golden iri-
descence in its scales. Faith is en-
tertained that wherever a gold
snake makes its nest there is a ledge
containing the precious metal, and
there are many miners who will To-
cate a claim at once if they find a
gold snake. .

INSANITY IN THE FAMILY.

A case of insanity in the family is no
more a mark of degeneracy or inferior
ity, a thing no more to be ashamed OF,
than case of typhoid fever, tuberculo-
sis or rheumatism. The insane person
is sick just the same as the feverish or
rheumatic or anemic or dyspeptic is
sick. Because we cant always assign
a definite cause in the case of insanity
is no reason for considering mental alb
erratiOn thing apart from physical
vulnerability. In fact, we don t know
but that the complacent individual who
wilfully keeps his furnished rheum-
atism in these days of prevention and
cure by scientific means is more to pe
pitied, as mental defective, than the
person who goes insane. because
rheumatism is condition which re-
ally can be prevented in the individ-
ual, whereas the prevention of insanity
may be possible only by treatment of
the family tree a hundred years before
the patient is born.
1t is true that the child is blood of
the parents blood. 1t is true that a
defective child is born of diseased or
defective parents. At the same time it
is very patent fact that the great ma
jOrity of eases of insanity are self
made unatics. Paresis, for example,

BRITISH COLUMBIA "Go1NG DRY

The prohibition bill introduced in the
British Columbia parliament is regard
ed as assured of passage. In fact, it
is stated that out of a house attendance
of forty members, fewer than ten will
vote against the measure, and even
these will not oppose the principle of
The act, but will be swaved by their
belief that some compensation should be
provided for the liquor interests.
The launching of this movement in
the neighboring province will occasion
no surprise in Idaho. 1t has been known
for months that a strong "dry' senti-
ment existed and that forces had been
set in motion to terminate the liquor
traffic there.
With British Columbia in the prohi
bition column, the Pacific coast Of
North America will be "dry' from the
southern Alaska line to the California

sup-on Blouse and Linen Skirt

seft roll collar, and a soft felt or Pana-
Ma hat, which is light of weight and
wide enough Of brim to keep the face
from burning. Dogskin or wash chamois
gloves may be worn if one has the pa
thence for them, and desires to keep the
hands smooth and white. These sport
shirts are being used generally for even
the most conventional sports purposes.
They are developed in many suitable ma
terials, ranging from flannel to the
elabOrately cOlOred, checked and striped
silk shirtings and taffetas; and may be
purchased from about one dollar and
twenty-five cents to fifteen dollars and
beyond. The comfortable and practical
sport skirts are fashioned of the colored
cotton velours and corduroys, the vividly
striped linens and canvas weaves, smart
mixtures Of Scotch and English cheviots
and tweeds, soft wool plaids and checks,
and for real hard usage the regulation
cOrduroys, and khaki. These skirts are
cut short, full enough for comfort, and
well supplied with pockets. They usual

and, combined with natty sport blouse
or shirt, form a smart, becoming COS

Coats and Sweaters.
Sweaters, or sweater coats, are decid-

to complete the sport costume. These
sweater coats are made of the new
striped and plain jersey cloths in wool
'or silk; of corduroy, in the bright, pret-

of broadcloth, flannel, tweed, and SINH

much less expensive. The striped linen
suit, with plain coat, illustrated here, is
perfectly appropriate suit for the
beach, board walk, or general day time
wear. The blouse is one of the new
middys effectively trimmed with collar,
cuffs, and wide, rooL,y pockets of the
striped material used for the skirt.
A smart little coat of one of the
striped silks, glove or jersey, may be APP
propriately worn with various frocks
and on various occasions. For instance
it is not out of place to slip on one of
these soft silken coats over the dance
or afternoon frock, if one is chilly, and
there is no danger of crushing the
frock; and they are quite the usual
thing to wear over the lingerie dress,
either for day time OF evening.
There are many effective blouses, cut
Russian or modified MILDLY fashion, de.
veloped in these soft silks, linens, and
.nOvelty fabrics, and commonly called
sport blouses, but being appropriately
worn for the various day time occasions
aside from sports. An especially pref
