which does so much good in Spring
as Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Do not delay taking it.
Don't put it off till your health
tone gets too low to bo lifted.

DEATHBED OF A BUDDHIST.
Weird Ceremonies Observed at the
l'aialtisr of n l'rlest.
It Is nil exceedingly mro thing for u
foreigner to be permitted to witness
the death of n Buddhist priest, nml It
wns only ufter a' residence of nearly
twelve yenrs In China thnt tho oppor
tunity came to me.
Old Ting Ho-Shong, hend priest of
the "Temple of the Spirit of Light,"
I hnd known by sight for several years,
ntid had a more Intimate acquaintance
with hlin the summer he died, but 1
did nut expect to be n witness of his
death nor to sec him die sitting up. Not
only did "Old Ting" die sitting up. but
he was put Into Ills collln and burled
that way.
Disease and native treatment had al
ready placed tho seal of death upon
the old man, io that at my second-visit
I could only tell the attendants thnt
his hours were few. Returning to the
old priest's room a little later, I found
hlin sitting on a board stool facing the
outer door, clnd In his fine priestly
robes of yellow silk. Uclng long pnst
consciousness, ho wns supported by
his attendcuts In this position, with his
leys crossed, each foot resting upon
the opposite thigh, solo directed upward
an exceedingly dlillcult, nml, in fact,
almost Impossible position to nssurno
Iu life. Tho hands were placed, palms
together, up beforo his face, tho whole
uttltudo being thnt which represents
Buddha In the stnto of Is'lrvnnn and
the old man wns very near Jhnt stnto.
The great nnxlety of those In attend
ance was that he should not be placed
In his collln until ho wns really dead.
Although I could not bring him bnck
to life, they were willing that I should
Judge when he wns dead. Holding n
small mirror In front of his face, I
waited until there was no moisture de
posited upon It.
In the meantime preparations were
continually going on around me for fur
ther ceremonies. A largo pile of paper
"cash" hnd been placed outside tho
door, on top of which was a document
I was not allowed to see, but, from
what I could learn, wns his history as
related to his nccesslon to tho priest
hood and life In t.
Upon being pronounced dead a flam
ing torch was applied to tho "cash" by
a young priest, former disciple nml
now successor to the lands and build
Jugs of tho old mnn sitting beforo him.
No sootier was tho paper, well nblnzo
thnu the young mnn prostrated' him
self before It, bumping his head on the
ground the requisite number of times,
for every movement In every cero
mony of the Chlnoso Is rcgulnted by
rites as Inflexible as law.
Tho next step In this strange death
scone was the placing of tho body In
Its upright collln, The front ntid top
wero removed nnd yellow silk cush
ions put In tho bottom, on which tho
old mnn wns placed ns gently as pos
sible consistent, with tho nwkardness
of his position. Numerous smnll cush:
Inos nnd wads of thin paper wero put
In nround him, n pillow under each el
bow to sustain tho arms In their up
right position, and then the front was
slid Into place. Moro packing wns douo
from tho top until his body wns Im
movable and tho collln tilled, tho yel
low silk knot of his lint being tho Inst

will sit nnd wait until time arid decay

Tho conceited man, who wns In tho

"You are wrong there," snld tho quiet
man, "nnd I will prove It In tills way:
You go and stand in that corner, and I
will will you to como out of It, You
will against me, nnd I bot you that I
will have you from that corner beforo
I have commanded you a second time."
Tho smart one took tho bet and put
himself In tho corner. Tho quiet man
said In a commanding volco:
"Como out of that corner!"
Tho other grinned and shook his
hend. Tho q. m. sat down and looked
at him steadily. Five minutes passed,
and then the mnn of will said, with a
sneer: "Ilndn't you better glvo It up?
I don't feel any Influence at all, and I
enn't stand hero all the evening."
"There Is no hurry," snld tho q. m.,
"nnd I havo a very comfortable seat
There Is no time limit, except that you
are to como out before I ask you twice,
and. ns I don't Intend to ask you again
until this day week, I think you will

A recent euro that scorns almost a
miraclo wns that of Samuel Curnock,
of 62 Twenty-second avenue, Melroso
Park, 111. Tho story is best told in
his own words. Ho says:
"Early in 1898 I began to expo
rlonco a worn-out feeling and noticed
that I becamo tired after very slight
oxertton. I continued at my work in
tho mnchlno shop until July 2, 1898,
when I sufforcd from a fall, and nftor

troublo locomotor ataxia. Ho treated
mo for four months and thoro was no
Improvement In my condition. I was
tald that my caso was Incurable, and
that I would continue to grow worso
until doath relieved mo. I was not
confined to my bed, although I spent
much of my tlmo lying down, and
was entirely unnhjo to work. I could
hardly stand; It seemed nB if my logs
would glvo out from under mo, and
my movemonts wero llko thoso of a
drunken man. A cold numbnesB came
In my right side, and I lost tho
strength of my right arm. Then my
eyes .began to blur so that I could see
nothing distinctly, and in a short
tlmo I becamo totally blind In my
right oyo.
"Last Docombor I began taking Dr.

Slnco I began taking tho pills I havo

SLEEP WALKING A DISEASE.
How the l'lienomcna Aro Hyptalncd on
c(o title linals.
Tho feat of the young Illinois stud
ent who walked twenty miles while
nslcep Is cettalnly a remarkable one of
Its kind. Usually nomuatubullsts make
short trips and, unlike the subject Iu
question, awake to lltul themselves In
curious nnd ofttlmcs iilannlug posi
tions. The welrdiiess of the exploit
ntid the uuuaturaliiess of Its nccom
pllshuient give that becoming air of
mystery which naturally uppenls to
the Ignorant and the superstitious.
In reality, however, the phenomena
nro very satisfactorily explained on
the assumption that certain mens of
tho brain are for the time being
awnke, whlo the other portions are
asleep.
Thus, tho speaking center may bo
active and the dreamer tuny carry on
a connected conversation with it listen
er nnd be perfectly oblivious to nny
other Impressions. Very often, under
such clrcuuistnuccH, a secret most
carefully guarded during waking hours
may bo disclosed to an alert nnd In
quisitive roommate. Not Infrequently,
nlso, poems havo been thus composed
and mathematical problems solved
when tho respective cerebral lobes In
volved nre on extra sentinel duty.
The same can be said for somnam
bulism In many of Its forms, the mus
cular sense pertaining to walking
belpg In ii curious condition of cxnltcd
activity. Strange to say, the victims
of this distressing malady have no re
collection of their ndventurcs, al
though it is nmliitulncd thnt they ap
pear to sco obstacles and nvold them
nnd their various movements Indlcnto
Intelligence nnd reason. In mnny re
spects the condition represents somo
of tho varieties of hypnotism, differ
ing from them only tu the mutter of ab
solute auto-suggestion, ns ngnliiBt tho
domination of nn outside party.
The causes of tho troublo arc quite
obscure at least no dellnltc ones nro
given by medical authorities. It Is
reasonable to Infer, however, that In
tho aggravated cases tho disorder has
n cerebral origin akin to some of tho
varieties of epilepsy and requires tho
usual treatment applied to the latter
affection. New York Herald.

PERPETUAL-MOTION MACHINE.'
Exhibit nt Pnrla Kxpotltlon Feci" In il
ly Answers All Kt-nnlrcitictits.
At the Paris exposition was n very
curious exhibit In the form of u clock
which attracted much attention from
visitors. It wns placed In n glass caso
to protect Its delicate working parts
from meddlers. It was self-moving
nnd It ran two months during the expo
sition without stopping nml without
having been wound up by any outside
force surreptitiously. There wns' no
reason why It should havo stopped,
says Electricity, for It was a true form
of perpetual movement within the lim
it, however, of the wenrlng out of its
mechanism.
Its Inventor was cunblcd to obtain
these results by very Ingeniously com
bining n Bystcm of levers, or hinged
residual magnetic armatures, which
moved n wheel continuously nround Its
axis for the purpose of winding up a
spring, consequently the clock was
only nn nccessory, for tho apparatus
could be used for other purposes and
the construction of the wheel or mov
ing mechanism nloue contains tho In
teresting features of tho Invention,
There nre two circles composed of
levers which arc placed on the two sldo
faces of tho rim of a large wheel.
These two sets of levers form an nnglo
of -15 degrees with each other, and nt
their outer ends counterweights nro
attached to the longer arm of each lev
er. From the start wo conclude that
the counterweights on the side farthest
from the center of tho wheel would
rKIU'KTUAI.-MOTIOM tVIIKKI..
give n preponderating turning force to
tho wheel, causing t to turn with a cir
cular movement. '
Tho wheel mnUes four turns per min
ute, nnd Its moveineni'ls rcgulnted by
a centrifugal governor put In motion
through an endless cllaln.
When tho wheel In Its movement
brings the short arm of one of the lov
ers, which may be called an armature,
to the face of the pill ley the phenom
enon of magnetic repulsion takes place,
which causes the long arm of tho lover
with the counterweight to rlso to n
vertical position, while the further mo
tion of the wheel causes It to fall to
the other side from the vertical posi
tion, thus making It add Its weight 'to

Woes .f a Now Member.
Wall street gossip Iiiih attributed tho
palm for hard luck to a recjntly elect
ed member of the Stock nnciiange who
purchiiM'd n lot of valuable experlonco
at a very high price, Ho paid nearly
$50,000 for his seat, and although ho
wiih not Violl versed1 Iu the business
douo on tho lloor he plunged Into It
with n courage commensurate to his
Ignorance. He misunderstood his or
ders and ho neglected occasionally to
inako a memorandum of his salos.
When ho found that- n customer hud
nsked hlin to sell a certain stocky In
stead of buy It. ns hu had done, ho
tried to make good lls losses from his
blunder by taking a small gamble on
his own account. Business on thu
Stock Kxchaiigu Is done Iu a rush In
these days, Mid thu man who hesitates
or who Is slow-witted II mis himself
outclassed. This new member nt thu
end of his tlrst mouth ou tho exchange
balanced up his business and found
that his losses duo to his own blunder
In executing orders for his custotnerH
had cost him nearly $50,000. Wall
street Is now speculating ns to
whether or not this broker Is going to
demonstrate thnt his experience was
worth the money. Now York Hun.
