CURES IKDIOESTION. 8 J
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1901.
"For Way* That Arc Dnrk," I3te.
"Some years ago," says the advertis
ing agent of a tobacco firm quoted by
the Philadelphia Record, "I wished to
introduce among the Chinese a two for
five cigar that my people were heavily
interested in, and I decided to draw up
a little card extolling this cigar in Chi
nese characters.
"I sought out Lo Hen W'ong in San
Francisco, a very intelligent fellow,
and got him to write me a few sen
tences in praise of iny article. I had
what he wrote lithographed and dis
tributed the cards by thousands in all
the Chinatowns of the United States.
They were inscribed with a picture of
the cigar, and below were the words:
'Smoke this cigar. It is the best oil the
market, and two for five is its price.'
"That, at least, is what I thought
was the meaning of the Chinese.' char
acters. I found out. some six months
later, my mistake. The words Lo Hen
W'ong had written and which I had
had lithographed were: 'Don't smoke
this cigar, it is not good. Hut the
Gong company's cigarettes, for sale in
every Chinatown at 3 cents a package,
are excellent.'
"Lo Hen Wong had got $lO from me
for his work, and I don't know how
much he got from the (Jong company.
We distributed many thousands of the
cards before we got onto the trick
that had been played on us."
<>1«1 XnmpN In London.
If London street names are not al
ways what they seem, the names of the
great parishes usually are. Take Lam
beth, for instance. That vast district
lias retained its name practically unal
tered since the days of Edward the
Confessor, who granted a charter in
which it is styled Lambehrth. Some
illiterate scribe, who helped in the mak
ing of "Domesday," did, indeed, make
an effort to obliterate its real name by
calling it Lanchei, but his efforts were,
fortunately, in vain. William Itufus
in another charter named it Lambeth,
since when it has kept its title unsul
lied.
In the old days Lambeliith (from
lilthe, a haven) was the great river port
whence agricultural produce was fer
ried across the Thames to the more
populous country opposite. There are
still many "liithes" left us, such as
Queenliitlie and Uotherhithe, and, al
though their original functions have
gone, there still remains a shadow to
remind us of their departed glory.—
London Chronicle.
How to Muko Chop Sni'j'.
For those who like or who think they
would like the famous Chinese dish,
chop suey, the following recipe, which
any intelligent housewife can follow,
was given by W. E. S. Fales, for sever
al years vice consul at Anioy:
"For four persons two chickens' liv
ers, two chickens' gizzards, one pound
young, clean pork cut into small pieces,
half an ounce of green root ginger and
two stalks yf celery. Saute this in a
frying pan over a hot fire, adding four
tablespoonfuls of olive oil, one table
spoonful of vinegar, half a cupful of
boiling water, one teaspoonful of
Worcestershire sauce, half a teaspoon
ful of salt, black and red pepper to
taste and a dash of cloves and cinna
mon. When nearly done, add a small
can of mushrooms, half a cupful of ei
ther bean sprouts or French green peas
or string beans chopped tine or aspara
gus tips. The see-yu sauce which is
eaten with this delectable dish can be
procured at any Chinese grocery."
Il«* Prepared.
Daniel Webster once told a friend
that his great speech in reply to
Hayne, which is the high water mark
of modern eloquence, but which at the
time was supposed to have been deliv
ered without preparation, had been
substantially prepared long before.
When called upon suddenly to reply to
the fiery Carolinian's attacks, which so
alarmed the New Englanders at the
capital, he was entirely at ease and
ready for the fray, for, as lie said, ho
had "only to turn to ills notes tucked
away in a pigeonhole," and refresh his
recollection. "If Ilayne," he said, "had
tried to make a speech to fit my notes,
he could not have hit them better. No
man is Inspired by the occasion. I
never was."
Left and nijglit Limbs.
Physiologists and scientists in gen
eral have been making some curious
experiments with a view to determine
the relative length and strength of
"right and left limbs." Fifty and nine
tenths per cent of the men examined

Where Smoking: Inn Crime.
There is one country in the world
where it is considered a crime to
smoke. Abyssinia is ri.gion, and
the law forbidding tobacco dates from
the year 1(542. It was at first merely
intended to prevent priests from smok
ing in the churches, but it was taken
too literally, and nowadays even for
eigners have to be careful not to be
seen smoking.

STORIES OF SINGERS
TIMES WHEN THEIR VOICES WERE
OF MORE WORTH THAN MONEY.
Satitley** Advpiitnre Wltli n Band of
Mcxlciiii Hniiditft Homo Experl
encew of the Tenor Mario— lloiv Ln
blnohe I*ut n Renr to Flight.
Many yearn Hlnpp, when traveling
with some friends in Mexico, Charles
Santley was captured by halfbrced
bandits and, being unable to pay the
large ransom demanded, carried off to
the mountains. Over supper the sing
er, by no means weighed down by
his mishap, chanced to break into song,
which so delighted the brigand chief
that he demanded an encore.
Santley saw his chance and ex
pressed liLs willingness to comply on
condition that he and his companions
were granted their release. The sug
gestion was accepted, aud for over two
hours was the singer's voice raised in
such exquisite melody that the bandits,
true to their word, allowed him and
those with him to depart.
The late Joseph Maas had a some
what similar experience. Years back,
when with a companion buffalo hunt
ing on the? American prairies, he was
captured by Indians and carried to
tlieir camp. When at his wits' end
how to extricate himself from the
dilemma, his friend suggested the pow
er of song. Forthwith he commenced
an operatic selection that so delighted
his captors that they loosened his
bonds and urged him, at the point of
their spears, to continue.
Luckily his voice had a soporific ef
fect upon the Indians, who one by one
dropped asleep until, just as he was
on the point of stopping from exhaus
tion. the last passed into the realms
of dreams. Then he and his compan
ion quietly stole away.
His wonderful voice on one occasion
placed the great tenor Mario in a some
what invidious position. When travel
ing with some companions in Spain, he
fell into the hands of a party of ma
rauding gypsies, who demanded the
customary ransom. Mario, tickled at
the situation, answered their request
In impromptu song, which he delivered
with such exquisite mock dignity that
his captors with unanimous acclama
tion elected him captain of their band.
The singer diplomatically acquiesced in
their decision, but in the course of the
following day contrived to make his
escape with his friends.
On another occasion in Madrid the
same singer, as he was returning late
one night from the theater where he
was engaged, was arrested by the po
lice in mistake for a political discon
tent. In vain lie asserted his identity.
He was carried before their chief, who
likewise smiled incredulously at the
captive's asseverations.
Greatly angered, Mario vehemently
demanded that his friends should lie
forthwith communicated with, but the
official shook his head and remarked
that if indeed he were the great tenor
ho possessed in his voice a sure means
of proving the truth of his words. Ten
minutes later Mario was bowed out
with many regrets and profuse apolo
gies.
When traveling to Paris with some
other ladies, Mme. Grisi had a thrilling
adventure. At a small wayside station
a man entered the carriage, and it soon
became evident from his threatening
gestures and eccentric behavior that he
was a dangerous lunatic.
Though her companions were panic
stricken, Mme. Grisi retained complete
presence of mind and with the utmost
composure began to sing. At once the
maniac was quiet; his whole attention
was riveted on that magnificent voice,
and he remained the most appreciative
of listeners until the train reached the
next station, where he was secured. It
transpired subsequently that he was a
maniac with homicidal tendencies who
had escaped from an asylum.
An amusing story is told of Lablaelie
the celebrated bass singer. One day
as he was strolling leisurely through a
French fair a cry was suddenly raised
that a bear had escaped from the me
nagerie. The crowd fled In every di
rection —all save the singer, whose mas
sive proportions precluded the idea of
rapid motion. Amid the general com
motion he among them all stood un
moved, calmly awaiting the advent of
the ferocious beast, which sure enough
came slouching rapidly toward him.
When within a few feet, it halted as
though to gather itself together for a
final rush, when Lablaelie stepped for
ward and from the lowest depths of
his immense chest sent forth such a
thunderous roar that the terrified ani
mal turned and fled.

What will eventually be the limit of
individual wealth? Half a century
back "ten thousand a year" was con
sidered to lie a vast fortune. Then
"fifty thousand a year" was the phrase
commonly used to describe the income
of fabulously rich men or women. Lat
er we took to speaking of "million
aires." In quite recent times the "mul
timillionaire" with twenty millions had
reached the limit of private wealth;
then forty millions. Now the limit lias
risen to a hundred millions, anil al
ready the word "billionaire" has come
into use in the United States. Will the
multibillionaire ever replace the multi
millionaire?— London Standard.
