China Serraat Declared Hla Mi treaa' Slaarlaar Wu Too Hick, Queer ia the story related of a 'Chi nese man servant, who declares that he prefers death Itself to the Infliction of hearing his mistress, who 1b described as a lyric artist, practicing her songs, morning, noon and night And, odd to relate, this particular heathen seems to be sincere, as be baa really made sev eral attempts on bis life, and even, after his last vain endeavor, repeated his resolution to die rather than be condemned to listen to' strains which he regards as anything but dulcet Evi dently the lyric art has no charms for him. This eccentric Individual was brought to Europe by the lady's hus band a year ago, but It Is only recently that he developed this inveterate dls like to her music. Last month, It It said, he concocted a sort of poison and made himself sick with It, but the re sult went no further. Then he tried opium, but awoke apparently none the worse from a phenomenal spell of Bleep. As poisons and drugs were powerless In helping him to carry out his project of shuffling off the mortal coll, the Chi nese man servant decided .on trying more active measures. One morning be took up his position on the balcony of the house inhabited by the family which courts the muses and, after tak ing a last look, as he imagined, at the busy scene around him, be flung him self Into space. It so chanced that a motor cat was coming along. On the top of the automobile reposed a box containing a provision of tires and, as luck would have It, the Chinese tum bled in among them and they broke his fall so that he got off without a shock. But such an acrobatic exhibi tion, even from a representative of the Celestial Empire, was not relished , by the occupants of the motor car, who protested so vigorously against this pe culiar addition to their company that the whole party were soon on their way to the police station. The luckless Chinese failed to make himself under stood, and something like a deadlock would have been the result If the lyric artist had not appeared to claim him. This was the third time within a month that he had tried to put an end to his days, and she insisted on know ing the reason. Then the man servant found his tongue, and In broken French replied, before the officials and the automobile set, "All want to know. I say. French madame howls too much. I die or hook it." Prompt measures are being taken for the restoration of this hopeless Chinese to his native land. London Telegraph. There An Others.

You are highly efficient and active and bright ' So you say. I'm unwilling to doubt you; But the chance of all this Is incredibly slight, There are plenty of others without you. Don't get mad with the girl, and to make her feel bad Fail to go for your usual call. It's the truth, though I know it sounds awfully sad, That she never may miss you at all, It's a mighty poor policy staying away, Though I grant that at times she may flout you, But I know that I'm la a position to say There are plenty of others without you. i Don't get soured on the world and do anything rash. Not to speak of the good of your soul, If you jump In the lake you may make a small splash. But you'll never leave much of a hole.

Oppoaltioa to Trousers1. The modem custom of wearing trous era was taken from the military dress introduced Into the army by the Duke of Wellington during the Peninsular war, says Chambers' Journal. In early days these were known as "Wellington trousers," after the duke. When they were coming into general use at the commencement of the nine teenth century the religious world and the fashionable were most determined in their opposition. A clause In the original trust deed, dated 1S20, of Shef field Nonconformist chapel provided that "under no circumstances whatever shall any preacher be allowed to occupy the pulpit who wears trousers." But this was not all. Some doubts were expressed In many quarters con cerning the question whether a man could be religious and appear In trous ers. One of the founders of the primi tive Methodist body remarked to a col league In the ministry "that trousers wearing, beer drinking, so-and-so will never get to heaven." Father Reece, a famous Methodist minister, twice president of the confer ence (born in 1765, died in 1830), could not be Induced to adopt trousers, and among the Methodists was the last to follow popular fashion la this respect.

CONTAGIOUS NO LIMIT TO ITS V0miS FOR EVIL Contagious Blood Poison has brought more suffering;, misery and humflai Hon into the world than all other diseases combined ; there is hardly any limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders, wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame. So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance, first, of the suffering which is to follow. It come9 ia the form of ulcerated mouth and throat, unsiehtlv copper colored soots, swollen Elands in the troin. falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous system is shat tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi ally is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poison, shown when the infected person endeavors ta combat the poison with mercury and potash. These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for a wniie, and tne victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When, howeveivthe treatment is left off he finds that the poison has only been driven deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus front the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destriictiva action.
