TRICKS OF CHINESE SERVANTS.
Signals of the Discharged to Warn
Their Successors.
It Is not an uncommon thing to hear
people in the East say that they are
still in want of a Chinese cook, while
others will have numbers of applica
tions directly It Is known that their
cook has left. The reason for this is
easily discovered if the master of the
house walks down to the kitchen after
his cook has been discharged and takes
notice how a saucepan, which will bo
found standing on tl)e ground, is
placed. Chinese servants, particularly
those from Singapore, when dis
charged, leave signs which the new
comer looks for immediately he enters
the kitchen. If the place Is considered
a good one, a saucepan will be left on
the ground with the lid put on proper
ly. If the lid is placed in the saucepan
upside down, that is to say, with the
handle of the lid inside the saucepan,
It means that the servant has gone
away for a short time only and that as
soon as ho con he intends to return, as
the situation is considered a good one.
If the lid of the saucepan is left out on
the ground, near the saucepan, which
is standing the right way up, It means
the house is in want of servants. If
the lid is put half way in and half out
of the saucepan, it means that the place
is a good one, but the master of the
house is stingy. Should the saucepan
have still some rice ir. it and the lid
closed properly, it means that the ser
vant is quite satisfied with everything
concerning the people of the house, but
that lie is forced to leave on account
of debts or other reasons which incon
venience him. If the master is in the
habit of cutting a servant's pay for
broken or lost articles, or for other
faults, a mark Is made on the bottom
of the saucepan in chalk which will not
rub out easily.
Deaths from Wild Beasts In India.
In spite of the many plans which
have been tried by the Indian Govern
ment there is no diminution, but rather
the contrary, in the number of deaths
caused by wild beasts. Various con
jectures are hazarded to account for
the failure of the executive, but it is
pretty well agreed that the destruction
of game by sportsmen and by drought
compels tigers, leopards, wolves and
hyenas to prey to a greater extent on
humanity.

Bess and Billy ran to him and
climbed up on his lap.
"Did you really ever know a bear?"

but the little baby sou couldn't run as
fast as she did, and the dogs were gain
ing on him, so what do you suppose the
mother bear did? Leave her little son
behind? No, slr-ee-ee, she picked the
baby bear up on her stout nose and
tossed him way ahead; then she ran
fast and caught up to him and gave
him another boost that sent him flying
through the air. She kept this up for a
mile and a half, then she was too tired
to go any further and the dogs sur
rounded her. Then she sat up on her
haunches, took her baby in her hind
paws and fought the dogs off with her
fore paws. And how she did roar"'
Bess shuddered.
"You could hear her miles away. She
never forgot her baby; kept guarding
him all the time. When the mother
was shot the baby cub jumped on her
dead body and tried to tight off the
dogs with his little baby paws. That's
the way the hears stand by each other.

Then they all laughed together and

he is sure to recommend it to his friends.

Lolos Have Custom Entirely Differ
ent from Chinese.
Writing of the Lolos of Chinese Turk
estan, the Rev. W. M. Upcraft says:
"The men wear a loose blouse °.nd wide ;
short trousers, made of blue cotton '
cloth, over which a stout plaited l'elt !
cloak is thrown, which reaches from
the neck to the knees, and is useful by
day in cold or wet weather and at
night forms an ample covering. As
far as I remember, they wear long
trousers, too. One peculiar feature is
the manner of dressing the hair. In
stead of wearing a queue in the way
adopted by the Chinese, the Lolos al
low the hair to grow long in the front,
then broad it into a kind of horn above
the forehead, so that it becomes the
most conspicuous object about them.
The women folk wear a short jacket
often finely embroidered, over a plaited
skirt, not unlike a Scotch kilt. Their
feet and ankles are bare —a fine con
trast to the cramped, deformed feet of
the Chinese women." They have well
formed figures and even features. The
ease with which they go about, their
work attracts the attention and wins
the admiration of the traveler.

Chicago, N T ov. 15.
Some weeks ago Dr. G , a very repu
table and widely-known physician living on
C street, was called to attend a very
complicated case of rheumatism. Upon
arriving lit the house he found a man about
forty years of age lying in a prostrated and
serious condition, with his whole frame
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. Jlc prescribed for the patient, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in a
very alarming condition. The knees and
elbows and larger joints were greatly in
flamed, and could not be moved. It was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa
tient could be turned in bed, with the aid
of three or four persons. The weight of
the clothing was so painful Lliat means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patient's
body
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the
members of the family follow.ig him to
the door, weeping Almost i u mediately
the grief stricken ones were a .dressed by
an humble German. He had In ard of the
despair of the family, and now asked them
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth a bottle oi St. Jacobs oil. The poor
wife n-pplied this remedy, 'lhe first appli
cation eased the patient very much; after a
few hours they used it again, and, wonder
of wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improved the
patient, and in two days he was well and

after he was indeed surprised.

Photographing the Alps.
Among the most daring feats at
tempted by modern photographers are
those performed by the camera experts
who carry their apparatus to the sum
mit of the highest peaks of the Alps.
The following incident is one of the ;
many thrilling ones related: "We were j
somewhat troubled by the rising wind, i
which blew strongly across the crags,
•and our route lay up a striking looking '
chimney on the exposed side of the
ridge. The rest of the party decided to
lower the writer over the overhanging
wall of rock on our right, to gain some
ledges where a photograph could be
taken of the ascent of the chimney. !
Being lowered over an ordinary cliff j
in search of birds' nests with proper 1
apparatus is child's play compared i
with such a lowering as I endured that
day. In the first place, an Alpine rope
is too thin for such work, for one felt
almost cut in half before the full strain
came on the rope, and absolutely con
vinced that those above could not have
sufficient hold to manipulate the rope
in such a wind. However, the painful I
dangling was soon over, and a simple
scramble up some broken rocks led lo ,
a capacious recess which would accom- ;
mod ate the camera."
