Chin-se Medical Practices. In 7fe; u.e Chinese began to vaccl- iate. There were three vaccination stations In which the concoction was poured Into the mouth. Stone needles were used to puncture swellings and 'he ide« was not Introduced Into Eu rope until centuries Infer. Cauteri zation was practiced by burning the tolled leaves of a stnall plant. It war held to be good for rheumatism and nosebleed. Anesthetic effects were produced by certain mushrooms and the root of aconite. Cases of skin grafting are early recorded. Native Artist Had No Conooptlon of Any Other Land Outside of His Own. 507 E St. In north Fukien province there dwelt an artist who painted pictures on silk for the gentry of his little village. The IH'ople In this secluded hamlet nestled amid the bills, hud uever seeu sutuiuu biles or airplanes, uor did they take the long Journey to Shanghai to watch the great steamers come In laden with merchandise and messages front the ports of the world. But they knew the words of Confucius and Lao-tse and they lived and died with simple dig ulty as their fathers had done before (hem.

The young missionary was talking most eloquent ly; he was not preaching. but he seemed to tx> telling stories that were as fascinating as those recited In the buztinra. Almost In spite of himself the artist sank unobtrusively Into an empty seat. For the first time lie heard some of the beautiful old slorte- of the Bible, which have held the pro pie of the West enthralled for (000 years. And the artist returned to hfe home and made plcturee of the story of Noah and the tlood, and of the par ables of the lost cheep and of the prod igul son and of many others that were In the book of the western missionary But he h .d never heard of the Pules tine. To him Noah was Chinese. and the lost sheep belonged to a fanner of his province and the prodigal son might well have been a dissolute youth of hfe own village.

Différence Between Governments of Greece and Rome and Those of the Gothic Tribes. Remorseful Ghost. A pathetic story Is told of the ghost of Blshnrn abbey. It Is said that the wife of Sir Thomas Hobby was un naturally severe with her. son. who. ft seems, had a peculiar aversion to writ ing. and In his obstinacy would wilful ly blot his copybooks. One day his mother, enraged al his perverseness lost her self-control and beat the poor boy so unmercifully that he died from hfs Injuries. Since then one of the bedrooms in the abbey has been haunt ed by the specter of the cruel woman who glides through the chamber In th» act of wnsliing the bloodstains from her hands. It Is stated that some years ago, when an old window shutter of the six teenth century was remover!, “a packet of antique copybooks of that period was discovered pushed Into the wall between the Joists of the skirting, ami several of these books, on which young Hobby’s name was written, were cov ered with blots.” REPAIRING Car of Shelled Corn TWO IDEAS OF CIVIL LIBERTY There was this radical difference be tween the governments of Greece and Rome and those of the Gothic tribe«. In the former the state was every thing. the Individual nothing; the stale was thought to have a perfect right to the property, liberty, and evefi life, of Its citizens. In the lat ter the individual was everything and the state comparatively nothing; all rights were thought to exist, to Inhere hy nature In the Individual; and the state could demand nothing from him for public us<* without giving him an equivalent. Here we find the funds mental principle of civil liberty; that principle which has been so carefully guarded In the English and In all the Anglo-Atnei^-nn constitutions, and which was so happily and tersely ex pressed by Jefferson In the Declaration of Independence. Our rude Saxon an cestors, though under a kingly govern ment. had more real liberty, and a more Just appreciation of the true dig nlty of man, than had the polished cit izens of the republics of the Mediter ranean.
