HAVE MANY GOOD REMEDIES
Chinese Physicians by No Means Al
ignorant Of Fine Points Of
Their Profession.

Writing Of a recent decree Of the
Chinese government, permitting autop-
sizes on the human body, Milliard's Re-
view (ShanghaD says that it is only
lately that Chinese doctors discovered
that the bodies of Orientals had the
same internal arrangement as those of
Occidentals. They had been taught
that the organs were arranged much
In the manner Of modern office build
ing with the elevator shaft as the con-
Meeting medium. But it adds:
1T must be admitted, however. that
the Chinese practitioners, through
long experience and through the Gus
tom Of handing down medical secrets
from one generation to another, do
have many excellent native remedies.
One Chinese medical treatise indicates
no less than SO different types of
pulse, and another form Of treatment
Is that Of puncturing the body with a
needle. A chart Of the human body
contains 700 spots which are indicated
as the places where 1t is safe to insert
needle without 1njuring vital or
gan. Quinine as a medicine has long
been known in China. Belief in the
sanctity Of the human body in rela-
ton to future life has up to the last
few years prevented the use and devel-
Opment Of surgery"

IN DAYS OF PONY EXPRESS
Service, Of Course, Would Be Laughed
at Now, But Was Really Re-
markabte Then,

The pony express, romantic fea-
ture Of the West Of that day. was part
Of mail line from New York to San
Francisco. Between st. Joseph, Mo-,
the western terminus Of the railway,
and Sacramento. the distance was
traversed by horsemen mounted on
swift and durable ponies, each Of
which Travelled sixty miles, and then
turned over his mail bags to another.
The weight carried was not to ex-
coed ten pounds, and the charge was
IS in gold for each quarter Of an
ounce.
letter or parcel weighing an ounce,
now carried for cents, cost $40 in the
days Of the pony express. BY the aid
Of the pony carriers the distance be-
tween New York and San Francisco
was covered in II days, a truly re-
markable performance, considering the
vast distance and the character Of the
country traversed by the brave rid
ers. The horsemen were in constant
danger in many sections Of the route
from hostile Indians, but they were
we'll paid, their salary being $1,000 a
month. The pony express lasted two
years, being abandoned when the tele-
graph line across the continent was
completed.

MOVIES MUST DRIP GLOOM
Picture Dramas That Have Happy
Findings Can Never Attain Popu-
Iarity in Russia.

Four and five-act movie dramas of
the highly emotional and sentimental
kind are popular in Russia. Cowboy
activities. murders and burglaries do
not appeal to these audiences. Rough
comedy is wasted even on the cheap
est Russian audience. They do not
understand 1t.
American pictures. as rule, do not
appeal to the Russian taste, They
want drama woven usually around
the eternal triangle" the men must
be ardent lovers, and the women weak
bat ;i0:;;,.@-
weeping mother or the deathbed
Of beloved father is always very i'm
pressfve. There must be a death In
the drama, preferably the suicide OF
hero or heroine. with the other one
going into the cloister at the end. The
ideal picture play for Russian popular
audiences must not, under any circum-
stances. have happy ending.
The Russians use great deal Of de-
scriptive and explanatory material on
the films In showing their own dramas.
They depend upon 1t largely for the
action" They do not care nearly so
much for action in the pictures as for
pastures indicating emotions. ANA
tory and deathbed scenes should al
ways be photographed to the last de-
tail, but nearly everything else may
be written and read.

FIRE ENGINES OF ALL SORTS
pared With the Splendid Once
in Use Today.

The first fire engine seen in America
was received at Boston in 1879. It
was made in England, and was Of the
type called 'hand squirts." The in
strument required the labor of three
men, one on each side to hold the ma
chine steady and to direct the nozzle,
while the third man worked the plung-
er.
This continuance was not much Of
an improvement over the "siphons
used in conflagrations," described by
Hero of Alexandria in his work on
pneumatics, written about $50 B. c..
At the close of the seventeenth CEN
fury slight advance was made in
Newham's improved engine, patented
In England, which consisted of a
strong cistern Of oak, mounted on
wheels, and suction pipe Of leather.
Steam fire engines had their begin
ming In England in $780, when Braith-
waite built an engine Of six horsepow-
er, weighing 5000 pounds. Though its
performances were highly spoken OF,
this attempt to apply steam to fire en-.
gines cannot be said to have been
successful, owing to It's great weight.
A. b. Latta Of Cincinnati built an en-
CINE that was vast improvement over
its predecessors, and 1t was In the
Ohio city, in 1868, that the steam fire
engine first definitely supplanted the
old style Of fire-fighting apparatus.

BEFORE DAYS OF PRINTING
People Then Employed Two Forms Of
Writing, the Manuscript and
Cursive Hand.

The differences between script and
print are to be referred to q date long
before the invention Of printing. We
must not suppose that the ancient
scribes, in writing papers of but tenn
porary value, would labor to follow the
same alphabet that the carver en-
ployed upon the monuments Of stone
destined for all time. AS far back as
records have been preserved there was
In existence cursive style of writing.
Instances have been preserved album
dainty in Pompeii of random remarks
by the ordinary citizen scribbllng idle
sentiments upon the walls.
The alphabet Of the monuments was
commonly the model for the writer's Of
formal literature, professional penmen
who looked forward to the library
preservation Of the works upon which
they were engaged. Business men used
the cursive script, which was far more
readily and CORRESPONDENCE more rap
idly written. The monumental and
manuscript hand has served as the
parent Of the printed letter; the cur
sive hand is the ancestor Of penman-
ship.

GREAT IDEA FAILED TO WORK
Might Have Been All Right But for
Unfortunate Happening Inventor
Could Not Foresee.

The poets and others, mainly others,
have sung Of the virtues and blessings
Of sleep. No class of men guards
sleep as carefully as the doctors.
Some one, with all the wise theories
Of advertising, decided to mail his lit
tie call for business to the medical
men of indianapolis. He spent large
sum getting up some real snappy stuff.
He figured out all the psychology and
personal appeal, with all Of the big
II" stuff he could, and then some. He
laid plans to reap a harvest. He did
not.
His good money went to the print
er. More went to Uncle Sam for
stamps. This wise ad writer put a
special delivery stamp on each of his
letters.
Result: The doctors Of Indianapo-
lis were awakened about 1 a. m. to
sign for bunch Of printed matter.
Every doctor seen says. he tore up
the booklet AMI with. curses deposited
the unread pieces in the waste paper
basket or elsewhere.
With groans and harsh words the
medical men went back to bed. It
was a great idea.-Indianapolis News.

POPULAR PROVERBS IN CHINA
Many Sayings There Remarkably Like
Those That Are Common
49, IN the West.

Some Of the Chinese proverbs re-
semble ours, such as '"Too many cooks
spoil the dog" and "A man must beat
his own drum and paddle his own
canoe" But it is not necessary to as
sumo that by any process they were
copied from English proverbs. Similar
sayings arise In different countries
largely because the human mind works
everywhere in the same way and has
much the same material to work on. OF
proverbs that are distinctly Chinese
the following may be taken as
samples: Heaven is away up In the
sky, but Soochow and Hangchow are
here below" Change your old nature
or you will be up tree" "When you
are very angry do not 60 to law, and
when you are very hungry do not
make verses" IAN avaricious heart is
like a snake trying to swallow an ele-
phant;" "A boat straightens when it
gets to BRIDGE" "A deaf priest can
hear hen crow" "After typhoon
there are pears to gather" "A good
drum does not need a heavy stick"
when young do not 60 to Canton :"
mo needle has point at both ends ;"
"A big chicken does not eat small
rice" "The load does not carry tho
ass" "A stone lion does not fear the
rain :" "A crazy man hopes the heavens
will fall, but poor man hopes for a
riot"

MONKEYS ACTUALLY AT WORK
Ingenious English Officer Devised
Scheme by Which They Earn
Their Daily Bread.

Monkeys actually are made to work
IN Malabar, India, which is perhaps the
only place In the world where they
earn their salt. The Malabar monkey
Is OF the fine species known as the lam
CUR. 1t is very warm at Malabar, and
there is a fan called the punka, which
used to be kept in motion by a slave.
1t required slave to work each pun
ka, but now every punka in Malabar
Is worked by monkey. It was an
English officer who conceived the idea
OF making the langur work in that
manner. The fan is a movable frame
covered with canvas and suspended
from the ceiling. The motion is caused
by pulling cord. The officer tied the
hands Of langur to one of the cords,
and then by means of another cord put
the machine In motion.
Of course, the monkeys hand went
up and down, and the animal wondered
what sort Of a game was being played.
Then the officer patted its head and
fed 1t with candy till soon the langur
thought 1t fine fun to work the punka
The experiment was successful, and
now thousands of monkeys are in har-
ness.
