China and the Tartars.

The Manchu Tartars, who conquered
the early Chinese, have left the impress
Of their former manner Of life upon
many styles seen today in Chinese fash
ions Of clothing. For instance, the Off
cial coats, as seen in China at the pres
ent time, are made with very peculiar
sleeves. shaped like horses leg and
ending in what is an unmistakable
hoof, completely covering the hand.
These are known as horseshoe sleeves.
This is owing to the intense love Of the
early Tartars for horses, from whom
they were practically inseparable dur
ing their generations Of wild wander
ing before settling down in China prop
er. The old cue is also said to have
been worn in imitation of the horses
tail and also as a useful halter to tie
about the horse when the Tartar curled
up beside his beloved dumb friend for
sleep.

The Length of Revolutions.

For its size and significance the Rus.
sian revolution was one of the quickest
and least sanguinary on record. Six
days practically saw the end of it,
whereas more than three years elapsed
between the storming of the Bastille
and the proclamation of the French re-
public. 1t took six days of barricade
fighting in 1880 to persuade Charles X.
to abdicate, but Louis Philippe fled In
1S4S after only two, though the subse-
quent state of siege lasted four
months.
England was ten years in establish
ing a commonwealth, and five weeks
sufficed to convince James II. that
French soil was healthier for him than
English. The Italian wars of liberia
tion occupied most of 1860, and the in
surrection in which the Greeks de-
posed King Otho in 1862 was over in
fourteen days. The quickest revolution
on record was that of Portugal in 1910,
which was over in a day.-London OBJ

When a horsefy alights ON a horse
he walks around looking for a tender
spot, and this he finds with his hairy
feelers. Then he cuts hole with the
scissors on each side of his central tu-
bular tongue.
An ordinary lead pencil cannot be
sharpened to point without sharpen
Ing the lead. So it Is with the tubular
end of this tongue-like extension Of the
horsefiy, says the Popular Science
Monthly. Nature has provided it with
barbed, piercing derrick ropes" The
fly inserts these sharp points into the
horse and then pulls back on them.
The barbs hold, and the fy's tongue is
forced down into the horses flesh. But
If the hole has already been made then
1t Is not necessary for these elaborate
tools to be taken from the sheath In
which they are placed within the
tongue or proboscis. The blood Is
sucked up by the tongue in practically
the same way as by other forms Of flies.

Inequality of Punishment by Fine,

An anomaly In our Jurisprudence,
limited, however, to the administration
Of criminal law. is the evil of allowing
the purchase Of immunity from punish
ment, writes Franklin Taylor In Case
and Comment. A penalty is imposed
with the alternative of paying a fine.
The rich man pays and goes free. The
poor man is imprisoned for not having
the money. And even among those
who can afford to thus purchase i'm
munity the result is most unfair, be-
cause the punishment, instead of be-
ing commensurate with the degree of
the offense, meets its severity accord
Ing to the size Of the defendants
pocketbook. To one man the amount
is Of no consequence, is not even pun
ishment. To another, because of his
;owly position, a similar amount may
mean weeks Of toll. hardship, priva-
tion and suffering to himself and his
dependents.

have been comparatively easy.
Wage Garner and Wage-Payer had
made the trip many times before.
Knowing all the dangerous eddies and
currents in the river, Wage-Payer had
always assumed the leadership. At the
same time he had come to place great
reliance on the Wage -Earners skill and
strength as rover. There was every
reason why these two men should have

had found it to his advantage to pose
as Wage -Earner's friend. OF course you

Mothers Doll Story
The Wild Indian

Once upon time there was a little
boy who owned an Indian doll. This
doll was chief-Chief Eagle Face.
Chief Eagle Face wore khaki CIR,
die about his waist, but his brown legs
were bare. like his chest. Across hfs
broad shoulders he wore strip of Had
flannel, stuck fun Of turkey featherss
also his hair was coarse and long. In
fact, 1t looked just like horsehatr.
Maybe it was horsehair.
Anyway, Chief Eagle Face had his
coarse hair stuck so full of feathers
that they trailed way down his back
so far that they touched his heels
And this is the friend doll that fittls
boy liked best to take out In the yard
to play with every day.
One beautiful day the neighbors dog
sneaked through the back fence. Chief
Eagle Face was taking a quiet nap
while the little boy was eating his
luncheon.
"Bowwow!" warned the neighbor,s
dog. "Bowwowv'
And then he struck his sharp teeth
right into the feathers down the back
Of Chief Eagle Face and shook ana

there in the grass. But he would never

"This IS EASY"

A parley followed, during which
Wage Garner and Wage Payer frank
ly stated their grievances against each
other and came to the inevitable con-
clusion that they had allowed trifles to
estrange them. Gigantic grievances
have disconcerting way Of dwindling
into pygmies when subjected to dispas
s1onate scrutiny. The upshot Of the
matter was that Wage Garner acknowl-
edged Wage-Payer's superior knowl-
edge of the river and permitted him to
guide the The trip was made In
better time AN ever before because
the spirit of cooperation lent strength
to the rowers' strokes.
When it came time for the feast on
the shore Of Success, Wage-Earner was
agreeably surprised to find that his
dish of profits was generous enough to
appease his appetite.

showed a birdseye view Of the shore
from which the rowers started you
would notice that Agitator was con-
spicuous by his absence. Modesty is
one of Agitators chief virtues. He's
always willing to give Wage Garner
the credit for any trouble that has been
started.

Walrus of Alaska.

The Alaska walrus are enormous.
The average one is as big as an OK,
and it often weighs more than a ton.
A walrus was recently killed by some
whalers near Point Barrow, whose
head weighed eighty pounds, and skin,
including fippers, 500 pounds. That
animal had girth of fourteen feet,
and its weight was over 1000 pounds.
The skin was from half an inch to
three inches in thickness, and the blub-
Der weighed 500 pounds.

Bridgeton pioneer., 1917-06-07

Wage-Payer demonstrated, insisting
that the course Wage Garner wished to
take was dangerous and If pursued
would lead to the destruction Of the
boat. Then finding that words were Of
no avail, Wage-Payer angrily seized the
oars and began to pull with all his
strength in the direction he thought
was right.
For some time the men continued to
row violently. and their misdirected ef-
forts almost capsized the boat. which
see-sawed back and forth but made no
definite progress in either direction.
But perspiration is great mental
clarifer, and after the boat-mates had
sweated profusely they stopped row.
