I called them j.vk1 humored, but n
stranger would not think so, if ho saw
them for the first time. On the contrary,
the state of tliiucs seems to bo borderim
on a riot. Tho nmount of energy that
lies latent in a Chinaman, waiting to bo

from them. It seems incredible that tho
subject is of no more importance than
whether a sack of potatoes or basket of

a crowd in a short serge jack'ct and big

maneuvering. Sometimes tho landlord
nppears pleased to receive us, but now
ana then ho seems to think wo take up
too much room, with the crowd who stand
round to look at us. It is very entertain
ing to observe how excited such a crowd
often becomes by tho advent of a for
eigner, and how rapidly the news spreads
to neighboring houses that a ' foreign
ghost" has arrived. Mine, host stands
and threatens terrible things, which ho
has not tho smallest intention of carrying
into execution. For half an hour ho will
shout and gesticulate, entreating the un
tutored herd to remember tho proprieties
and not crowd in so much upon tho for

Tho point of greatest interest is always
reached when tho traveler begins his meal.
Ho has carried with him all ho wants with
tho exception of rice, potatoes, hot water
and one or two other tilings. The laying
out of plates, knives and forks is a great
mystery. Much questioning goes on as
to the way of using them. They beg to
know tho reason why wo prefer to employ
a man to carry all our apparatus for din
ner, instead of using their bowls and
chop sticks. The spoon and fork, appar
ently made of solid silver, greatly aston
ishes them, and the traveler is ready
enough to own that they are not silver at
ull. When wo litt our food to our mouth,
many lu.u's move in a similar way, as
they say quietly to one another, "Look!
Ho is doing like t His!" Standing so
closely around on. small tablo that wo
feel inconvenienced, we entreat them to
givo us breathing room while wo dine, and
afterward wo will talk to them. Many
voices break fort li with pleasure at our
speaking to them. "The foreigner
speaks our words," says ono; "Yes, let
him eat," says another; "Stand back, you
man without propriety," says a third,
whose zeal for good manners" is evidently
due only to his desire to secure a front
place;
At such a tiino one is almost always
questioned in the same way. Tho most
trivial ami ridiculous questions aro asked.

A little mild, banter is much appreciated
by Clio crotl, but brings "out a moro rapid
fusillado of questions. In tho

frequently, "Where is tho country" where
tho people havo ono leg? ono arm? ono
eye? and where llioro are only women?
Havo you seen these lands?" What tho

' In China every traveler carries his bed
ding with him; in tho daytime it helps to
pack tho cart, or is laid, by way of sad
dle, upon the ass. Tho traveler may
count himself fortunate if ho can find in
somo Mutual Prosperity or Heavenly
Union hostel a tolerablo room in which to
rest. On tho great roads, and tho recog
nized stages, the inns aro pretty sure to
bo decent, but elsewhere they aro often
wretched.
In those of the better sort thero is gen
erally an eating house or tea shop on ono
side of the largo door leading into tho
yard. Tho siiop faces tho street, and is
connected with the cook house and pri

TESTING DRINKING WATER.
CnsatUfuctory Iritlt Which Aro Fom
times Obtained Umiurksibtc Tents.
Wo arc giving more aud moro attention
to tho purity of drinking water as it be
comes more apparent that infection of al
most every kind travels by water. It be
comes of the highest importance to know
whether tho tests usually resorted to for
tho detection of organic impurities oro
trustworthy. If dangerous impurities
slip past these tests, they afford no pro
tection against the transmission of dis
ease germs. Tho Sanitarian prints a pa
er by Dr. J. A. Tanner, of Boston, giving
results of some of his experiments in this
direction, which may almost bo called
et art ling.
Dr. Tanner declares boldly that the
chemical processes relied upon for testing
water aro "as apt to condemn a good
water as they aro to commend it, and to
commend an impure water when they
should condemn it," and his statements
go far to support his theory. For example,
if fi per cent, of milk or any beef extract
bo added to a gallon of distilled water tho
processes will condemn it as impure be
cause) it contains organic matter. Add a
few million of disease germs to a gallon
of distilled wuter aud none of the pro
cesses will discover them, because Oo
quantity of organic matter is not largo
enough. Vet tho one mixture is entirely
harmless, and the other, if wo accept tho
germ theory, is dangerous. Tho combus
tion process relies upon the proportions
found of carbon and nitrogen; tho am
monia process upon tho presenco of free
ammonia and albumoid ammonia; tho
permanganate process upon tho amount
of oxygen required to oxidize tho organic
matter. All of these tests aro extremely
delicate, and a slight inaccuracy is enough
to cause an impure water to bo rated as
pure, or tlio opposite.
The fact that they disagree wildly in
their results with the same water is
enough to shake faith in all of them. Dr.
Tanner shows this by reference to tlio In
vestigation conducted by Professor J.
Mallet for tho national board of health
some years ngo, witli which ho was con
nected. Nineteen samples of natural
water, believed from actual use to bo
wholesome, were examined bv these pro
cesses. They agreed that ten were pot
able and three were not, but as to six, or 1
one-third of the number, they disagreed
totally. 1 hen nineteen samples were
taken of "natural waters which thoro
seemed to be fair grounds for believing
nave actually caused disease. Hut only
four of these were rejected as unwhole
some; as to nine, or one-half, thero was
no agreement, and six, or one-third, were
pronounced wholesome by all tho pro
cesses. Then twenty samples were taken
of natural water of doubtful but sus
pected character, and as to these tho re
sults were reallv moro unfavorable than
as to the waters known to bo dangerous.
1 no. most remarkable of all tho tests
were vcith twenty samples of good water,
to wlthih were added various pollutions,
such ,as sewage from various sources,
ulnck vomit and like ollensivo and poison
ous substances. Only eight of theso
samples, less than half, were condemned
by all the processes; as to nine tho re
ports did not agree, and three- tho pro
cesses actually concurred in pronouncing
good. Water, to which enough of a weak
mixed sewage from a largo public sewer
had been added f.i create, it was believed,
berious danger of typhoid, was pro
nounced to be of "great organic purity" by
two processes, and "irood" by tho third.
A larger admixture of the same sewage,
as much as ." per ceut. was pronounced of
"me.dium quality by two processes, and
"bad" bv only one. Even more strikiuir
examples could be given. Vet tho samo
processes condemned as impure tho I.ako

Oertel has extended his advocacy of
mountain climbing, as a curative agency,
to other forms of heart disease besides
such as aro dependent upon or associated
with corpulency namely, to all forms of
"weak heart," and ajso. to valvular de
fects. For "this pni-jfoso ho prefers ro
sorts surrounded by mountains, on tho
sides of which graduated walks, of in
creasing difficulty, and extending up to
bclweeTl threo thousand and four thou
sand feet can be mapped out. "It is by
no means a matter of indifference- how
you walk up ihese ascents. It is to bo
done in a strictly prescribed manner.
Tho hills aro to bo ascended slowly, and
the pace must bo as even as possible, with
no talking and no interruptions. This
may not be attainable at first, but it is
the" end to bo aimed at.
"Then the pace and the breathing must,
in a sort of way, keep time; with one
step tho patient should make an inspira
tion and with tho next an expiration;
both acts should bo equal and regular in
length, neither longer nor shorter than
tho step. One foot is raised with tho bo
ginning of tiio inspiration and put down
as it ends; the oilier foot makes its stop,
in tho bauio manner, with tho expiration.
Theso precautions must bo minutely ob
served, or palpitation and difficulty of
breathing will be induced. Tho patient
may lean on u slick, but ho must not
pause often in his walk; but he may rest
for. Jialf an hoyr c nx hour after thy com

WOMEN WHO SMUGGLE.
TRICKS RESCUED TO BY THEM TO
AVO;J DISCOVERY.
Sn hulling the tioxei niuent Ctti!liU-rt-il an
Act of Nil Seclnl lliirin An Abnttl
Thlnji to Dir Curious l'lac, of Conceal
ment Hrlbe.
It takes twenty very zealous and care
till women of keen perception, great forco
of character td considerable nervo to
keep Uncle Sam from fairly being cheated
out of his eyes by other women. Smug
gling is the way the latter do it, and do
it well. Women like to smuggle, it
would seem. They have an elastic con
science in the mutter that really seems to
tempt them to what is. of course, swin-
dliug the yoveriitnent, but to themselves
' an act of no special harm and of littlo con
I sequence. Of course there is the genuine
' woman smuggler who knows just what
I she is doing, just what trouble sho is liabl
i to get into and what tho result will be. It
is business with her, and she considers it
, an ordinary business risk. But sho is
j caught just as certainly ns the other lit
! tie woman is, who doesn't think it any
special harm Just to save a littlo bv
tucking away a few pairs of gloves which
only make her leg a bit plumper, if they
don't slip down and give her a queer
shaped ankle, or filling her corset with
bonio rare and dainty lace, that if pur
chased here would cost a pocketful of
money on account of the duty.
Women are far moro wary than men in
smuggling, and their devices for bringing
in goods of a duitablo nature aro many.
It is usually the case that tho inspectress
can tell by the face and contour of tho
person. As a general rule, the woman
who has goods hid away will look the
searcher of her luggage calmly in the face,
seldom turning away, and if 'tho searcher
politely informs her "that she t'links that
sho has dutiable goods on her person, sho
will, of course bo greatly insulted aud
invito u careful examination. Sho gets it
and a littlo trouble in tlio bargain. Tho
self assurance that a woman smuggler
has is of such great quantity that it will
lead her to do tho most absurd and fool
hardy deeds, whereas, if sho had less,
perhaps she would not rely so much upon
its carrying her through, and would,
therefore, bo more careful. Thobustlo is
a godsend to tho woman who wants to
smuggle. They are made largo and
roomy, aro of iron framework, and in them
may bo safely carried yards of tho most
valuable goods.
Tho most absurd thing for a woman to
do who has goods hid about her person is
to wear a heavy ulster when it is too
warm for one. She will have to refuse to
removo it when graciously asked if it is
not a bit warm, aud such refusal of course
results in a necessary investigation on
tho part of tho inspectress. Tlio manners
of tho woman smuggler aro always very
charming, and therefore. -it-as- in such a
kindly way that they inform tho tired in
spectress that she is really tired and needs
a littlo rest, therefore ne'ed not examino
their trunks, as they will tell tho inspec
tress what is m them and save her bo
much extra trouble. But sho doesn't look
at it in that light, and does inspect tho
trunks, much to the regret of tho owner.
Theso smugglers possess a quiet and care
less air, but tho inspectress can always
tell them by the way they attempt to sit
down. Their bodies then havo a stiff
ness that is hardly in keeping with
tho manner in which they carry
tho head and arms, and of course thoy
aro immediately suspected of having
goods concealed somewhere about their
fekirts. Thero aro many curious places of
concealment, and it can hardly bo im
probable that many thousand .djoJJarB
worth of dutiable goods are brought
through by smart tricks. For instance,
diamonds aud other precious jewels havo
been brought over fastened in tho front
und in tho plumes of the. Jbojn.net. They
ird generally wrapped in black cotton and
securely fastened iu such a manner that
It would bo necessary to take the Tiat
apart to find them. Tho heel of tho shoo
is another queer but secure place where
jewels have been carried. Tho heel is
false, having a hollow place iu tho center,
whero, packed in cotton, tho gems rest
safely".
Sometimes a woman is found with lace
wrapped around her form. Yard after
yard of it is thus becurely carried until
tho eyo of tho inspectress looks with sus
picion upon the peculiar shape of the
wearer and sho examines her. In tho
bustles have been found toilet bags filled
with all sorts of odds and ends, such as
silks, gloves, hut frames, yards or rather
hundreds of yards of ribbon, stockings and
everything dear to tho eye of the female.
To a lean woman tho curvatures in their
corsets ofTer a snug resting place for
quite a number of dutiable goods that
can bo carried bafer thero than almost
anywhero ciso. Ono woman was fouud
with laco curtains pinned under her dress,
taking tho place of her usual underskirts.
Silk has been found worn iu tho bamo man
ner, and ribbon has been wound around
tho legs and body until yard upon yard was
coucealcd. When a discovery is mudo tho
woman smuggler of course attempts a
briboj buf tho amount is absurd, always
very much smaller than a man would for
a niiuuto think of offering. A woman
will offer tho inspect rt$injid coashler
it a bj amount. Ten dollar'swlJbreok
them all up, A man's bribe is hardly
ever less than $10, and frequently as high
as $50. The women Inspectors" wfll ac
cept no such favors, h.oWever. When u
yoman ls suspected tho inspectress in
forms th6 Suspect of tho necessity of un
dergoing inspection, and sho is requested
lo go to" her 'stateroom. Then sho is or
dered tOT "remove her outer garments, then
thBDiistle, and, if tho inspectress con
siders it uuctssary to go further, sho re
moves tho remainder of her clothlug.
It is said that a good deal of solid in
formation regarding fcmugglers is fur
nished by many dressmakers. During tho
season tlieso dressmakers bend their fore
women abroad to purchase goods. Thoy
keep their eyes open, know all tho women
who go ubroad to buy g-oods in tholiopq of
evading duty on them, and send tho In
formation straight to New York. Another
source of information is the stewards and
stewardesses on tho big steamship lines.
Thoy receive a percentage on all goods
seized, and they will most remorselessly
discloso tho names of passengers who aro
smugglers. They almost ahvaj B know.

Should any one ask your opinion about
the llistogenetic y-teiu of medicine. jut
answer boldly that it is no good. Should
he ask you the reason why it is no good,
tell him -just because. If t ti i- answer does
not confound him by its profundity ami lie
still persists, tell him that it is a new tan
gled idea. This will probably prove effect
ive, as it bankrupted the first iron plow es
tablishment. Should you fail in that, too,
don't give up. but insist with the powerful
argument that your grandmother never
heard of it; that you can't see how mer
cury, arsenic, strychnine, etc.. can be im
proved upon, aud that the old schools of
medicine must necessarily have exhausted
all the stock of wisdom, and that there can
not possibly be anything left to learn. And
if all your powerful arguments have failed
to convince him of the reasonableness of
your position you have still one l'arthian
shot -tell him that you are simply aston
ished; that you thought him an intelligent
man.
And still there are men and women, too
- upon whom such arguments have no ef
fect, but they are thinking people who are
willing to investigate before they form an
opinion.
