CHINESE MILITARY TACTICS
CeIestiaIs Planned to Trip Up Foes.
Throw Water in Their Faces and
Then Cut Off Their Heads.

At the beginning of the Chino-Japa-
nese war, says a contributor to the
Washington Star one of our military
attaches saw a Chinese regiment take
the field at a review and go through
very curious performance.
The soldier carried long bamboo
poles like fishing rods, and with these
they rushed at one another, yelling
wildly and making very queer gestures
and grimaces.
whats the gamer" asked the Amer
lean.
THAT regiment" a Chinese general
answered, lis one of our very oldest.
1t is now practicing form of assault
that dates from prehistoric times. The
idea is to trip the enemy up with the
long wand, throw water in his face
and, in the midst of his bewilderment
at this extraordinary treatment, to
cut off his head."-YOuths Companr

BOSCHEE'S GERMAN

A Valued Household Remedy for

In our climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature, rain, wind and

friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, many
deaths resulting from this cause. A
bottle Of Boschee's German Syrup kept
In the house, and few doses taken In
time, will possibly prevent severe Ill
ness, doctors bill, and perhaps death.

AN ANCIENT JAPANESE ART
Embroidery Made in Flowery Kingdom
for Centuries Before Country
Was Opened to World.

Japanese embroidery, now so popu-
far in this country, is one of the oldest
arts of the mikado's people. For CEN
turtles before the country was opened
to foreign intercourse heavily embroid-
cred silk kimonos, screens, and other
articles were made by professional
embroidery experts, principally in
Kyoto. This same profession con-
tinues today, having been handed
down from father to son for many gen.
erations. For this reason the center
of the country's art-embroidery indus
try is at Kyoto, although cheaper en-
brolderies, principally for export, are
produced In large quantities in other
part of the Kobe district.
The majority of the workers in Kyo-
to are men, who produce the finer
grades Of embroidery. 1t is essentially
household industry, and is usually
conducted in small shops, where from
three to ten apprentices and skilled
embroidery are employed. The men
received from 40 to Is cents gold per
day. The women, however, are able
to earn from 10 to so cents gold per
day, depending upon their ability and
diligence.
The manufacture of handmade lace
Is a comparatively new industry In
Japan, as lace was not used by the
japanese before the advent Of foreign
ers. The industry is still in its in
fancy, and the output is small.
