THE TRoUssEAU IN CHINA
How Is Figures When Plans Are Made
for Marriage Of Daughter Of
Family.

When was ten years old my serv-
Ing woman made mark here in the
middle Of my forehead. It was made
with red face paint and had to be re-
newed every time l went outside the
compound. That sign meant that I
was old enough to become engaged,
and that my parents would consider
oilers for me. Soon after, an old
woman came to see me. She made my
serving woman remove all my cloth
ing. Then she looked me over. She
made me thread need1e--to test my
eyes. She made me sew a seam-to
try my skill. She looked at my teeth
and pinched my body all over-to see
II l was healthy. Then she went away
one day, when I was twelve, heard
my mother talking about me-with the
OLD woman who had been to see me
before. They were talking about my
clothing. The middle woman said
should have four pairs Of silk trous-
ers and three of cotton. was also
to have six white undergarments of
cotton, and four linen for the hot
weather. My outer garments were all
to be Of silk, and all must have
embroidery about them. Two heavy
garments were to be lined with silk,
and padded with new cotton. These
were to wear in the cold weather. They
talked half a day about my trunks.
The middle woman held out that /
should have four, all covered with pig
skin, but my mother was determined
l should have only two. At last 1t
was agreed that I should have three
pig-skin trunks and two boxes COW
cred with plain cloth. When they
came to an agreement about anything
a teacher wrote it down, so there
would be no forgetting after. He
would read 1t over to them often and
had to change the writing when one
or the others said they did not so under
stand. The middle woman grew very
angry when they were talking about
the bedding I should have, and left
the court. A servant called her and
she returned. ALI the while they were
taihins ABOUT me IelI mOSt lmpOT-
tant, for l had never before had a
value placed on me. Then / thought
had not understood my mother all
my life. She had always treated me
with unconcern, because I was not a
boy, and now she was pointing out all
my good qualities and setting a value
on each Of them. Then they told me
was to be married. I was to marry
a man had never seen and they would
not even tell me his name. I asked
my mother If he might come to our
court and play with me. She scolded
me. He lived eight miles away. and
could not come that distance just to
see me. Silly child.-Asia Magazine.

Plenty Of Room Behind.

A mule was brought and tied near
the group head headquarters and some
one asked to whom it belonged. One
of the young second lieutenants sug-
gested that it must be the chaplain's
mount. At the officers mess that
evening the Joke was sprung on the
chaplain, a dignified college professor
in civil life.
"Where did you get your fine mount
we saw tied up out there this after
noon, chaplainT queried one Of the
young officers.
From Missouri" was the prompt
answer. and without a flicker Of a
smile.
81 think we ought to have the chap
lain head our review tomorrow on that
mule, and we would all come parading
along behind him." said the mis-
chievous lieutenant.
"There is one thing certain" replied
the chaplain, you would not crowd
him."

G. 81. viol, writing in Science, states
that the total production Of radium
element in the United States down to
1919 is about 65 grams, which is
probably more than half the total
radium produced in the world. Dur
ing the war, with no carnetite exports,
the greatest part Of the. worlds ra-
dunn supply has been produced in this
country. In 1913 the United States
produced 1875 grams. With regard to
a discussion that has occurred con,
corning the amount Of radium that
can be produced from the carnotite
fields, Mr.. Viol says that the carno-
tite holdings of the Standard Chemical
company, which comprise about 300
claims and are the largest holdings un-
der the control Of single concern
are estimated to be capable of yield
ing at least 500 grams of radium.-

Makes Pine Needles.

A discovery has been patented which
is of great interest and value in con-
nection with the textile industry. BY
the process patented there is obtained
a useful substitute for cotton and 1ute
from pine needles. The needles are
first of all rendered chemically soluble
and then thoroughly mixed by mechan-
teal means, whereupon the fibrous ma
terial thus obtained can be spun on
any ordinary cotton-splnning machine.

All Sailors Superstitious,

All sailors are superstitious, but
none is so completely under this in
fuence as the old deep-sea fisherman.
He puts the deepest faith in "signs"
and omens of all kinds. Nothing would
induce skipper of the old school to
sail on a Friday. One intrepid unbe-
lever who dared to leave the docks at
Grimsby, England, on a Good Friday
was hooted through the lock gates by
the scandalized populace. In spite of
thus challenging the fates, however, he
returned safely with ship and crew.

CATARRH DOES HARM
Whether It Is Of the Nose, Throat,
or Other Organs, Get Rid of II.

Whether It ls Of the Nose, Throat,
or Other Organs, Get Rid Of 1t.
Catarrh of the nose or throat when
1t becomes chronic weakens the deli
cate lung tissues, deranges the diges-
tive organs, and may lead to con-
sumption. 1t impairs the taste. smell
and hearing, and affects the voice. II
is q constitutional disease and re-
quires constitutional remedy.
Take Hoods SarsapariIla, which
by purifying the blood removes the
cause of the disease and gives per-
manent relief. This Alternative and
tonic medicine has proved entirely
satisfactory to thousands of families
in three generations.
Ii there is biliousness or constipa-
ton, take Hood s Pills,--they are a
thorough cathartic, gentle laxative.
