Mining for Rubies in India.
The system practiced lor obtaining
rubles In tho mining districts in JJur
man is of the most primitive doscrip.
lion. The mining sliatts are simply
holes about two feet scinare sunk to a
depth varying up to filly or sixty feot.
The. shoring up of the walls of the
shaft Is most crude, the sides being
supported by posts at the corners and
brunches of small trees secured care
fully against the sides by means of
stout sticks.
The miner carries a tin pot similar
In Bhape to a blunt-edged cone, on his
head. He squats down In one corner
and digs between hls.kneos In the
opposite corner. The earth or byou,
as the ruby-bearing earth is called,
is conveyed to the top, as fast as it
is excavated, iu small buckets lot
down irom above.
The apparatus for raising uud low
ering the buckets is simple in the ex
treme. A stout bamboo post about
twenty feet high, called a mating
dine, is fixed upright In the ground
at a convenient distance from the pit
or dwin, uud a long, thinner bamboo
pivoted horizontally into iho upper
eud of it so as to project an eighth
irom the mine and the long arm to
ward the mine. Search Light.
Vicissitudes of Paintings.

an Interesting history. This remark
able picture, which for t.omo years
consisted of a painting of flowers,
was pronounced by uu urt dealer to be
merely a mask for some other picture,
and on his receiving permission he
gradually cleaned on the llowers, dis
covering underneath a very fine por
trait of Charles I by Vandyke. It la
supposed that the portrait was thus
disguised in order to save it from de
struction by the Roundheads at the
time of the commonwealth.
Feminine Guile.
Some women when staying at hotels
do not cure to exhibit to the passers
along the corridors the exact size of
their feet, so they carefully carry
with them a couple of pairs of tiny,
delicate shoes, which, Instead of the
ones they aro wearing, they place out
sido their doors for the servants to
take down and clean. All the big
hoot shops In Paris now make a spe
cialty of this tiny footgear, and a pair
or two form a portion of the trousseau
of every up-to-date bride. Impurclal,

PUNISHMENTS IN CHINA.
Many Cruel Forms Abolished Forever.
Others Modified.
Wn Tlng-fung, long Chinepn minister
in Washington, has sun ceded In Induc

to abolish some of Its cruel punish
ments An Imperial edict c.lve Wu
and Short Chlapi n credit Tor suirrcsting

the beginning of the dynasty when our
Rover. U-iit y extended within the great
wall, the most severe punishment was
beheading. In the year of Hsln Jul,
lowrver, when we revised the laws,
wo permitted the Introduction of these
punishments which had been prevalent
In the Ming dynasty, hence ling till

FIRE WORSHIP IN SCOTLAND.
Ancient Cu3tcm Still Practiced In
Certain Sections.
RemlnlFcences of the pre-Christian
days of Haal worship and fire worship
are still to be found occasionally In
Scotland. A few years ago a traveler
wrote: "On the last day of the year,
old style, which falls on Jan. 12, the
festival of 'the clavle' takes place In
Bnrghcad, a fishing village near For
res. On a headland In that village still
stands an old Roman altar, locally
called the 'duuro.' On the evening of
Jan. 12 a large tar barrel Is set on fire
and cat lied by one of the fishermen
round the town, while th assembled
folk shout and halloo. If the man who
carries the barrel falls. It Is an evil
omen. The man with the lighted bar
rel, having gone with It round the
town, carries It up to the top of the
hill and places It on the 'dottro.'
"More fuel Is Immediately added.
The sparks as they fly upward are sup
posed to bo witches and evil spirits
leaving the town. The people, there
fore, Fhout at and curse them ns they
disappear In vacancy. When the burn
tug barrel falls In pieces the fisher
wives rush In and endeavor to get a
lighted bit of wood from its remains.
With this light the fire on the cottage
hearth Is at once kindled and It Is con
sidered lucky to keep this fianie all the
rest of the year. The charcoal of the
'clavle' is collected and put in bits up
the chimney, to procnt the witchea
and evil spirits from entering the
house.
How to Cut Glass.
Glass can be cut without a diamond,
nnd the way is very simple. Dip a
piece cf common string in alcohol and
siiutcze it reasonably dry. Then tie
the string tightly around the glass on
the line of cutting. Touch a match to
the string and let It burn off. While
it U hot plunge the glass under water,
letting the nrm go uudir well to the
elbow so there will be no vibration
when the glass Is struck. With the
free hand strike the gluss outside the
line of cutting, giving a quick, sharp
sttoke with any long, flat instrument,
such ns a stick of wood or a long-hlad-ed
knife, and the cut will be as clean
and straight as if made by a regular
glass cutter.
The Art of Tattooing.
The master of the tattooing art In
Japan is Chyo, who can produce such
pictures on the human skin as are the
envy of all rivals. He has photographs
of nil his more Important works, most
of the originals having been produced
on the cuticle of English and American
travelers. Two of the most remarka
ble are a huge dragon in three colors,
covering an American doctor's back
entirely, while another is a life-sized
fly, which was put on an Englishman's
wrist to naturally that one would feel
tempted to call his uitention to the
fact if one were not told that it wua
the work of the tuttoing needle. Chyo's
work Is recognized by his countrymen
at a glance, and Is looked uputt with
much respect.
The Nose and Deafness.

Japanese Economy In War.
Japan's war department Is econom
ical. Tho worn-out socks, stockings
nnd other hosiery used by tho troops In
Manchuria were sent back to Japan to
be remade into knitting yarns. These
are then given out to hosiery manufac
turers and reknitted hy machinery into

18 ENGLAND DEGENERATING?
Statistics Taken from the British
Army Confirm That View.
Arnold White has written as follows
In the London Chronicle of physical
degeneration in England: "The Ger
mans. drink nn enormous quantity of
beer, but there Is no class in (lermany
of drink-sodden, dirty and broken
mothers such as we produce by tho
thousand. When Talne was shown the'
ne.iiuy side of Indon he said that the!
rush of the Inhabitants of an east I.011
don slum Into a wide street when at-j
traded by the spectacle of nn accident!
was like ft human sewer emptying It
self. Uerore the outbrenk of the Afri'
inn war, of 1 1, flue men who w ished to
enlist In Manchester, only a little ovet j
l.ntm could be sent into the army. The
Scotch highbinders and the Irish peas- ,
nn try are healthy, but English towns- ,
men can no longer vie In war with the
Tyroleso and Itavarlan mountaineers
tlie Inhabitants of east Prussia, tti(
French peasantry, the Montenegrins ol
the hardy Russians. !
"Iliii.iin's soldiers are born of moth
ers directed by the normal condition
of town life, both moral and physical.
The averagf stay in hospital of soldiers
affected by one preventable disease is
"2 days. Thus In one year we have a
to u i,,; s of 1,?:!S,fiS8 days army serv
ice. Two hundred and three soldiers In
the liritlsh home army go sick out of
every 1,000; in the French conscript
army only 13 become Invalids. 1
"In 1813 the standard of height for
admission to the army was five feet six
Indies; In 1S83 it was five feet three
Inches, ami In 19u0 five, fed. There l
a progressive decline In the average
weight. As the British army Is ten
times more unhealthy than the Gor
man, It loses threo times as many by
dotth."
Customs In China.
China, as seen with our eyes, Is gro
tesque. She Is the antipodes of all the
rest of the world. She seems the up
side down of everything. The needle
iu her compass points to the south,
she says west north instead of north
west. )
She enjoys her fireworks In the day
time; her ladles use wheelbarrows
when they are making calls; they drive
cows Instead of horses; the necks of
their prisoners are put in the stocks;
their surname conies first, as Roosevelt
Theodore; they mount their horses
from the right side; the old men fly
kites, while the small boys sit demure
ly und watch them; they keep on their
hats as a sign of respect; their ctim
sou visiting cards must be a burden to
them if they do much calling, as they
are four feet long aud about two wide;
their boats are drawn by men, their
carriages by sails; they never drink
milk and their mourning color is white
or pale blue.
Their young women, no matter how
beautiful they may be, according to
Chinese Ideas, are slaves, while the old
mother of grown pons and the wrinkled
grandmothers are querns, and the most
respected and beloved members of tho
household. Even the emperor's moth
er ranks higher than he does. When a
son Is fortunate enough to receive an
honorable decoration, he brings It to
his mother, who wears it for him.

Owls Electrocuted.
THie temporary suspension of work
at the mine and mill of the Graulte
Bimetalllc Mining Co., at Pittsburg,
caused by an, owl becoming entangled
iu tut- wires, recalls the fact that since
the transmission line was put In com
mission, nearly four years ugo, 25 owls
have been electrocuted by coming in
contact with the wires, and since No
vember of last year 12 fine specimens
of the owl family have gone to owl
land over this route. The transmission
line is 11 miles in length and fur
nishes a current of 10,000 volts to tho
mine and mill, No. 4 copper wire being
used. The line traverses a wild and
unsettled country, the abiding place of
all kinds of wild beasts and birds.

i
Goats as Pilots. 1
In Switzerland uud other mountain
ous countries goats lead long strings of
animals dally to and from the moun--tains,
but it is In Sout Africa that the
gout is regularly kept and employed as
a leader of sheep. Should a blinding
storm of rain or hail drive the sheep
before It, or cause them to huddle to
gether In a corner, so that there Is a
danger of their suffocating each other,
the trained goat will wake them up,
and, by a method of his own, induce
them to follow him to a place of aafeiy.
The Money-Mad Poor.
It is a great mistake to suppose that
every rich man is money mad, for
many rich men are money sick, and it
is a still greater mistake to suppose
that tho only money mad people In the
world aro rich people. A man who Is
poor but bent on becoming rich Is much
more likely to be mouoy mad than a
man who has an Independent fortune,
only he shows It In a different way. A
man of large fortune who Is money
mad shows It by his continued activity
in money making. The poor man who
Is money mad shows it by envying and
hating those, who are more successful.

COTTON FROM FIRWOOD.

CJiton, which used to be born, la
now being made from flrwood which
has been fried from bark and knots.
The fibers are broken up by a special
machine, and tire then placed In a lead
lined copper cylinder having a capacity
of 100 cubic centimeters. Into tills
steam Is Introduced for ten hours by
means of a pipe in the bottom.
At Iho end of that time tiO cubic cen
timeters of soda lye are poured In nnd
boiled for 3ii hours under a pressure
of three atmosphi tes. The material is
then wn lnd and thoroughly crushed,
nfier which It is bleached and dried.
The pure ccllulofo thus obtained Is
treated In an nutodaro containing a
mixture of zinc chloride, hydrochloric
acid, and nitric add, to which a lit.le
castor oil. cnselno, nnd glycerine arc
milled. Tho fibre, after being further
reduced. Is passed through a weak so
lution of carbonate of soda, and then
between drying rollers.
The necessary firmness Is given to
the thread by finally putting it in a
bath of diluted ammonia and then
washing it with cold water. The sub
stance thus made may be easily woven
and dyed. When the artificial product
la compared with tho natural it Is s:ld
to bo difficult to distinguish the differ
ence, nnd It Is even assorted that the
former mny be so economically pro
duced ns to ho able to compete with
the latter. Chicago Tribune.
Chinese Porcelain.
Chinameu have been exporting their
porcelain to tho west for at least a
thousand years, and probably longer
Mediaeval Europe could make nothing
like porcelain, and therefore regarded
it as a magical product endowed with
uncanny powers. It was said, for in
stance, that a porcelain cup would
break If poison were poured into It
Travelers declared that porcelain was
composed of various substances which,
ttfter being tempered, were hidden In
the ground for ages before being fit for
use. Even so erudite a man as Sir
Thomas Browne, writing iu the later
seventeenth century, was "not thor
oughly resolved, concerning porcellane
or china dishes, that according to com
mon bolief they are made of earth.'
The secret of the true Chinese porce
lain was first discovered in Europe a
generation later by tne German cbem
1st Hottger, the Inventor of what is
now known as Dresden china.

In a Glacier 28 Years.
In an almost perfect state of preser
vation, and easily recognizable, the
dead body of a guide named Nagl, a
native of Aosta, Italy, who fell Into a
crevice in 1877 near the summit of
Monta Rosa, was recently recovered
from the Ice.
Nagl was descending the mountain
in company with two Milanese Alpin
ists when he suddenly disappeared, anj
the cord which bound him to the oth
ers was cut by a sharp piece of ice. A
search party made many vain attempts

How Birds Doctor Themselves.
Certain birds seem to possess a re
markable Instinct for surgery. The
woodcock, the partridge and some oth
ers are said to be able to dress their
wounds with considerable skill. A nat
uralist observes that he has shot sev
etal woodcock that were recovering
from wounds previously received. In
every instance he found the injury
nently dressed with down plucked from
the stems of feathers and skillfully ar
ranged over the wound, evidently by
the long beak of the bird. In other
cases ligatures had been applied to
wounded or broken limbs. Exchange,

Supetitiiendent J. II. Kther, Prin

Waynesboro, from refining to ad

Charles Walter aud A. W. Gil
lan were allowed to intervene in

The first witness called was Iidward
C. Stull, ol Waynesboro, whose
daughter is not vaccinated and be
cause of that would not be allowed
admission to school.
O. C. llowers argued that the
law (iocs not apply to townships,
merely to municipalities, and is
therefore special legislation and un
constitutional. He made a strong
plea and cited many authorities
Charles Walter quoted Supreme
and lower court decisions uphold

took the view that the Legislature
had power to pass such a law.
The statute has been upheld by

Or, Dixon Says II Can Be Communicated By
Contact Only.
State Health Officer Dixon was
shown a statement made by Arthur
B. Reeve in ' Public Opinion," this
mcnth. in which he says that "one
seventh of the deaths in the cities
thronehotit the world are caused
by tuberculosis, and that in the
face of the assertion of one of the
most eminent specialists that when
the people can be aroused to com
prehend the truth and to do their
dutv ' in two generations a case of
consumption will be as much of a
rarity as a case of leprosy now is."
"I would not draw the line so
close as two generations," said Dr.
Dixon, "but I would say that if the
people were aroused to the danger
of coming in contact with tubercu
losis, and were taught the methods
to prevent contagion they would
have it iu their power to eliminate
tuberculosis in a very few genera
tions. "Tuberculosis is not inherited,
as I have always maintained, but
it is only by coming in contact with
it that the disease is contracted. I
have made repeated experiments to
prove this, and to my mind have
succeeded in proving it to the satis
faction of thoe who have made the
subject a study."
