NO LEVEL STREETS IN CITY
Live in Narrowed Of Rooms
in Chunaking.

Hundreds of thousands Of human
beings live in Chungking (on the upper
part of the Yangtze river. in China),
in the very narrowest Of rooms. There
are no level streets because of the
hilly character of the country, and In
stead of streets, thousands of steps
lead up hill and down dale. More
over, many Of the business streets are
so narrow that two filters can hardly
squeeze past one another.
The number Of water carriers is
legion. Chungking has not yet attained
to water system. The water for the
daily use of the Inhabitants is drawn
in buckets from the Yangtze and the
tributary Kialing, and is peddled to
the householders by coolies.
Here even the poorest beggar Is
saved from hunger. Every beggar.
man or woman, has speciality de-
signed to arouse the maximum OF
sympathy in the passer-by.

The Real Test.

The looking tramp was
sitting with his back to the hedge, eat
ing some food out Of piece of news
paper.
Presently woman, out for stroll
with her pet dog, came along. The
little animal soon scented the food.
and Immediately ran up to the tramp
and tried to take something out OF the
paper. The tramp's grimy face imme-
diately became suffused with a smile,
which the lady put down in her own
mind as rather nice in that sort OF q
person"
"Shall / throw the little dog bit?'
asked the tramp. as her pet still shifted
ut the food
The woman was much gratified with
this appearance Of kindly interest and
gave her assent The tramp seized the
dog by the scruff Of its neck and
nssed it over the hedge, remarking:
And il he comes back, ma'am, l
might throw him bit more :"

FORTUNES IN WRITING SONGS
Popular Fancy, and Wealth
Comes.

The announcement that #. e.
Weatherly, the barrister who took TO
song writing. is still hale and hearty
at seventy-five. and is shortly to be
married, adds a new chapter to the
romance Of song-making.
Mr. Weatherly, many of whose songs
were set to music by Michael May
brick. better known as stephen
Adams" has written some of the
worlds most popular songs, among
them Nancy Lee" "They All Love
Jack" 'Nirvana." and The Holy
City"
Song writing means moneymaking II
once the popular taste can be caught,
says London Tit-Bits. Irving Berlin
has made, we are told, more than
ea0,GoO out Of "When I Lost You,"
That's How Need You" and "When
l Leave the World" and Is believed to
be still making anything from 10000
to $4,000 in royalties every year.
A single song, "Oh, Marguerite"
brought Osmond Carr f2S,OO0. and the
author and composer Of "Her Golden
Hair Was Hanging Down Her Back
Melted 100000. while "The Bogey
Man" earned over 10000.
In wholly different category come
such popular favorites as "a Perfect
Day" and 'The Lost Chord" yet Miss
Carrie Jacob-Bond's publishers have
sold more than 100000 copies Of the
former, and Sir Arthur Sullivan re-
ceived 10000 in royalties on the lat
ter before he died, and it is still earn
ing money.
Samuel Lucas was paid $4,000 In
royalties on my Grapdfather's
Clock" 100000 copies were sold In a
few years Of Miss Meta Orred's I'm
the Cleaning" and more than twice
that number is recorded in respect OF
Julia Ward Howe's Battle Song of the
Republic" with its noble opening.

WATCH OWNED By MAJ. ANDRE
Timepiecs Carried by British Officer
Among Treasures Of New Yert
Historical Society.

The silver watch which Maj. John
Andre is said to have carried when he
was captured has recently become the
property of the New York Historical
society. In 1917 small volume was
printed entitled .'vindication Of the
Captors of Major Andre" There were
printed in this book the affidavits Of
Isaac Van Wart and John Paulding,
two of the captOrs of Andre, describing
the capture. Both afiidavits refer only
to gold watch which Andre offered
to his captors for his release and make
no mention Of q silver watch.
Turning, however, to the statement
Of Ensign Samuel Bowman Of the
Massachusetts, line, one learns that
this officer was for "a hours preceding
Andres execution constantly with the
prisoner, with whom he discussed his
capture, and that Major Andre told
him he was robbed "of the few guineas
which he had with. him and the two
watches which he then wore, one Of
gold and the other Of silver.
The silver watch is Of the .'bull's
eye" type and the hallmarks indicate
that it was made in 1766. On the inner
case is an inscription .crudely engraved
flames Oglethorpe, February z, 1725,"
for which there is no plausible ac-
counting. The whereabouts Of the
gold watch is unknown. It was ex-
hibited at Philadelphia at the time Of
the centennial, in 1876

Where Do You Taste.

II asked what part of the body you
taste with, you might answer: with
the mouth" But try an experiment.
Put a fragment of salt into your
mouth, placing it between the teeth
and the cheek. Until it dissolves it
has absolutely no taste at all.
The fact is that the sides of the
mouth are insensible to certain sub
stances which have an aromatic taste,
such as spices and coffee and wine,
can only be appreciated by the front
half of the tongue. I.
A piece of sugar applied to the tip
Of the tongue tastes extremely sweet.
Try it on the back of the tongue, and
1t is almost tasteiess.
With many other foods the case is
reversed. and it is the back part OF
the tongue and the mouth in which
they are properly appreciated. A few
experiments will prove to you that
taste is strangely localized in the
mouth.

shaking his head, and turning to other

The medical man had to go about
broaching the subject with fine di-

the business man that the latter's
