SACRIFICED BOY FOR DONKEY
Chinese Father Forced to Choose Be.
tween Giving Up His Son and
the Direst Poverty.

Some years ago Chinaman was
confronted with the problem Of secur-
ing donkey, without available means
to purchase 1t with. He had number
of children and would not be able to
support them unless he could secure
the animal with which to work in his
attempt to keep starvation from his
door.
On bordering the matter he decided
that the donkey could serve his pur-
pose better than could any one of the
children In the family. He therefore
arranged an exchange, giving a son
Of his into slavery that he might gain
possession of the animal as means
Of support for the rest Of his family.
It happened that the lad was rescued
from the life of slavery and placed In
q Methodist institution.
Quite recently one of our Methodist
missionaries had occasion to address
the student body of large Chinese
school. His interpreter won his adj
miration by his quickness and by his
accuracy, and he inquired into the
matter. The missionary discovered
that this was the little boy who had
at one time been exchanged for
donkey, grown into young manhood
and beginning professional career
of large usefulness to that community
Of his needy people.-The Methodist.

Scientists Assert That
BroWn-Eyed Men Are Far
in Lead as Bigamlsts

Eminent doctors, scientists and GRIM
inologists say that brown-eyed men
are dangerous. They have estimated
that more than rs per cent of the
worlds bigamists have brown eyes,
and in explanation say that it is due
to the fact that brown-eyed men gen.
orally have dash of Southern blood
in their veins. They are more pas
sionate, have stronger and deeper emo
lions and consequently are more fasci'
mating to women.
Eyebrows that droop and eyes that
are close together are found among
the worst rogues on the calendars, says
one detective. Those who have made
study Of characteristics also tell us
that the snub-nosed man and the man
who yanks his mustache down and the
man with steel-blue eyes are selfish
and melancholy, and have no stead
fastness In their makeup. Out OF "a
murderers, specially selected for the
brutality of their crimes, no fewer
than Is have steel-blue eyes.
