DANCER in Raw Pork.

There is considerable danger in eat.
ing pork or pork products raw or not
thoroughly cooked. The disease fire.
quently resulting is called trichinosis,
1t Is caused by certain round worms,
microscopic in size, that often infest
the flesh of hogs.
OF 100000 hog carcasses micro
scopically inspected by federal inspec.
tors in eight years, about one in every
thirty-nine contained these worms. OF
about 1000 American cases of trichino-
sis, 255 came from eating raw sausage
and 213 from raw ham.
In a community in Wisconsin last
year 81 cases developed in five fami-
lies and three deaths resulted from
eating sausage that was only slightly
cooked. These round worms die at a
temperature of 40, so thorough cook
ing does away with possible danger.

Der of adult anthropoids, though it en-
braces only single adult chimpanzee,
is believed to exceed that of all other

INTERESTING CITY OF CHINA
Urga, in the North, Chiefly Celebrated
for the Number Of Its Pictur-

One of the least-known cities of
China is Urga, where sand, squalor and
holy men are the predominating fea-
lures. Yet the place is not without
interest. Urga lies at the edge of a
desert in North China, and it's people
are most un-Chinese in appearance. 1t
is said that every third man met there
Is a lama. The chief lama in Urga
is as great a parsonage in the North
as the Dalai lama half century ago.
Thousands upon thOsands Of lesser
lamas adore him and tens Of thou
sands of the populace in their turn
adore lesser lamas. There is also a
college for the study of religion In
Urga, so that holy men in all stages
of holiness are present in great num-
bers. There are frequent festivals,
with great spinning of prayer wheels
and making of offerings and ceremO-
MES of publication, eliminating in the
grotesquely beautiful devil dance by
certain of the lamas in their horrible
robes and masks. The pOpulace Is
used to the religious atmosphere,
though, and it is the pilgrims from the
country round who are chiefly i'm
pressed. They include all manner of
mysterious folks whOaive on the track

frantically trying to ad lib and set the

The heavy gave Holmes one disgust

to it," and stalked off the stage, leav-

Works Before Breakfast.

For an hour or two before he eats
his breakfast President Wilson die
tates letters to his stenographer. Then
he has to meet callers, some of whom
are on business bent and more of
whom are not. An attempt has been
made recently to keep down the num-
Der of mere handshaking visitors.
Their ranks have been growing in re-
cent years until something had TO be
done to limit the handshaking attend
ance during the morning hours in the
White House.
When Theodore Roosevelt was pres
ident he met hundreds of visitors of
the handshaking class. He had the gift
of saying something nice to each one
of them and getting rid of him almost
instanter. President Taft could not do
this. He could say the nice things all
right, but he was inclined to chat on
his own account, and at times almost
the entire morning was given over to
the job.
Woodrow Wilson does not see any,
thing like as many visitors of this kind
as his immediate predecessors in Office
did. Grief knows. however, that he
sees enough of them. He cannot ig-
