the assertion that in proxnion tn Uuiir
percentage of thu pojnilitkm they are
much printer travelers than the white
people of this country, leaving aside all
consideration of t-ieir bir journej'
across the l'aci.l.'..
When the San IVanoIsco Chinar.cn'ii
resident rts r.ionc;,' eri(u;rh tteretlnu" to
take atri'ito Loi.i Ann ies, (hnttha. t;tu
cago or 3Sew York he tfenerally bc-rins
to think of Iravelhuf. It mutters not
what, he may he lining here; if hetliinus
Kansas City needs a new vvjishhott.se he
buys a ticket for that town and away
he goes. In the matter of ticket pur
chasing he has a front advantage over
white persons. If he is at all shrewd,
nnci he fcnerally is. lie can buy nn emi
grant ticket at a cut rate of from five
to fifteen dollars cheaper than any
white man can bv.y it. This fact, curi
ously enotrii, is wholly due to the white
man's utter hick of conlidence in him as
an oath-observer.
"We ca.i s;dl a Chinaman a ticket
cheaper than anybody else," says a Cal
ifornia, t.ijket. aerit the other day, "for
the reason that there, is no danger of
anybody in the railroad pool
catchino- us cuttin;f vatos. All tes
timony as to rutj-r.-uUiiijf before
the pool eoi.nnii.si.mer must he
by affidavit, and as Chinamen's affida
vits are not admissible as evidence, of
course we can always steer clear of a
fine when we cut a rate for them."
When John travels he invariably car
ries a stufly-loohhiff carpet sack in his
hand and a lot of ::oiidescript bundle?
over his shoulder, pmernlly tied to
gether with a heavy cord or a piece of
hayrope. Where tlicy get all tlircsr'
pet sacks is a rriystry. They are cer
tainly not tin Astatic article of hrjgafre,
but thev cannot Irs dissociated from the
idea of Monrrol'vi (ravel in this country.
Appro::chp ; liie Oakland ferry, aftct
buyintr liis tut.:.'t np-town, John easts a
wary eye about luta for the poll-tax
gatherer, who haunts the landing-and
keeps close watch over all the newcom
ers as wnll us cnt;roem. He is a very
lucky John if he citn manage to run the
gantlet oi t.tosi; keen optics. As soon
as the attack begins the Mongolian
clutches with mighty rrtisp the handle
of his carpet suck, for he knows that
this is the iirst point of advantage which
the seeker for his two dollars will try
to gain.
The poll-tax man knows the trick ol
loosening the heathen's hold. Having
secured the carpet sack he will not lei
it go until tlie tax has been paid. Kc
Chinaman was ever known to pay his
poll-tax cheerfully, and this John is nc
exception. He shakes his head, jabber!
and raves and tries to convince the tax
man that he has not the slightest notion
in the world of what he is alter. Thai
dodge will not work-, however, for it i:
an old one and the tax gatherer, sittiivi
serenely on the stuffy carpet sack, wim
the day, unless John values his two
dollars more than he does his cheap
luggage and flees for the boat; in which
event the: tax man wins a two-bit
"jumper," a pair of wornout overalls,
some mystcrioHS-lookhig provender and
a pair of cork-sole d tl.ces vt ilh turned
up toes.
Once aboard his train John sits bo-
side a countryman of his, who is sure
to turn out either a eon .hi or a cousin
of a friend of his. They make a few
remarks about the weather, the state
of the labor market and the chances ol
getting rich in a few weeks at the
places whither thev are bound. None
of these remarks are of a lively nature.
In fact, John on the rail is tho same
stolid, letharffie. John that he is any
where else. He folds his loosely-draped
arms and takes little heed of anything,
dozing away the long hours on the
train as contentedly as if he was lolling
at ease under tlie washhouse table. Iu
fact, a carload of Chinese is as much
like a carload of mummies as it is like
anything.
Ihe nomadic insti-itt is so dccplv
rooted in the Mongolian that he feels al
most as much at homo while scurrying
around the country as h- does under
his own roof tree. The intense desire
to travel is without any doubt a Tartai
heritage, most of the forces of worlrin;:
Chinese who have come to this countr,
being gathered from the grout plaint-, oi
the eastern part of tlie empire, where
the roving instinct is strong and where
manv tribes are almost constantly on

Doctor Says That Americana

Ktitiou of llruff-Takers.
1 think Americans should be described
as a nation of medicine takers. The re
turns from the sales of patent medicines
are astonishing, but no general practi
tioner is at all surprised at this, because
he has long since learned that hypo'
e.hondria exists almost universally,' and awful prison house of the damned, in dawned on me. I took r.p a court calen

light of an enormous percentage of
mankind, says a physician in the St,
Louis Globe-Democrat.
One groat object a doctor should have
in view is to cure with as few doses as
possible, and I believe that ninety-nine
out of one hundred medical students
commence practicing with this idea bo
fore them. If their cxperienco is like
mine they have somewhat let down in
their efforts in this direction, and if
they have not done so they have cer
tainly offended quito a large number of
patients.
There seems littlo to choose between
the sexes in tho matter of a desire to
take medicine regularly, and it is often
impossible to persuade an apparently
rational-minded patient that a cure has
been effected, that no more medicine is
needed and that nothing but good diet
and careful habits are required to build
up tho constitution.
A number of doctors save themselves
from falling from grace by prescribing
a harmless tonic after effecting a euro,
but those wdio prido themselves in dis
posing of cases by aid of a dozen doses
or less seldom attain any great popu
larity. 1
The often quoted and much vaunted
practice in China of paying a physician

his pay during sickness could never be
introduced successfully into this conn

Prof, liarkcr in April, 1S;."j, laid before
the Royal society of Dublin some ob
servations on a shower of black rair
which fell around Carlaw and Kilkenny
extending altogether over an area o1
about four hundred square miles.
During the course of his lecture Prof.
Barker exhibited to the society a speci
men of this uncanny shower which had
been sent him by a friend. The speci
men shown in the vial was of a uniform
black color, much resembling common
black writing fluid. Dr. Darker found,
however, 'chat, after allowing it to stand
lor a short period, tho black coloring
matter separated from the water with
which it had mixed, rendering tho color
of the rainwater much lighter, but still
dark enough to be called "black rain."'
The shower, which was in broad daj
light, was preceded by a darkness su
dense as to make it impossible for one
to read without tho aid of a candle.
After this darkness had continued for
some time, a hailstorm set in, attended
with vivid lightning, but without the
utatii serai'iance oi inuntier. n ncn tnis
naiistorm was over tne Mack rain be
gan to fall.
On examination of the rain immedi
ately after the storm was over it was
found to have an extremely fetid smell,
as well as a very disagreeable taste. All
light-colored animals and all articles of
stains, and cattle refused to drink the
water or eat the grass until after a
shower of "real rain" had walked off
the black, poisoning matter.

BIG HAILSTONES IN TEXAS.
ompa Six Inchea In Dliimctcr Maid to
Have Fallen In a Recent F-'torm.
A recent hailstorm near Gay Hill oc
curred about 4:30 p. m. About two
p. m. heavy clouds appeared in the
west, and as they slowly approached
a roaring sound was heard, such as
usually indicates a coming hailstorm.
Lightning, accompanied by distant
thunder, suggested an unusual storm.
About six miles distant from the Gal
veston News man's point of observation
the clouds divided. A li.r ht-colored
cloud passed out from tho more dense
cloud toward tho southeast, while the
latter continued its course toward the
east, but far above it at a high altitude
was another cloud of a pinkish cast,
which moved also toward tho cast. A
few minutes after the rain commenced
small hailstones fell, and each moment
larger ones fell than tho preceding,
until they reached the size of small hen
eggs. After falling for about fifteen
minutes the hail and rain ceased for
probably two minutes. Then it com
menced again to rain heavily and con
tinued for probably ten minutes, with a
higher wind, and it was during this in
terval that the wonderfully largo hail
stones fell.
This remarkable hail fell in lartre

in diameter. I heard of one pioe eight
incnes in oiameter, wnicn weighed tout
pounds. They were, as a rule, spheri
cal in fortr, but some were somewhat
flat, and nearly all were covered with
oval knobs. They fell in small areas
about two feet apart, while in other
places only one would fall in a space
twenty feet square. Tho average un
der my observation was about one
hailstone to every three feet square.
The earth was thoroughly saturated
with water, and some of tho large
pieces penetrated the ground in soft
places about three inches. I gathered
about a bushel of tho largest pieces af
ter the rain ceased and in a very little
while I placed them in a sack, which I
put in a box and packed hay around
without special care. Some of the
pieces I exhibited in Krenham, for the
reason that I preferred to give ocuSar
demonstration in proof of tho state-
; mcnt I made in relation to tho size of
the hail. After forty-two hours several
of tho pieces were seven inches in cir
cumference. At this dato (eleven days
after it fell) about a quart of the hail
remains. Its density i3 so great that I
believe it will keep should you wish a
samplo. A most remarkable fact in
connection with these largo hailstones
is that some of them have particles of
: dirt m the center. Tho question is
: now cua they crct there?
