Foreign sportsmen in China always observe with curious interest the ma neuvers of native hunters. An English sportsman tells of an Incident be witnessed at the well known Shaba, or lower barrier, of Nadoo creek, in north China. A native shooter had bis gingal with him—a most uncanny looking weapon. That there might be no question as to its length, it was placed upright alongside the Briton. It exceeded his height by two feet two inches, making the piece of ordnance over eight feet in length. Englishmen sometimes complain of the weight of their own guns—six and a half to seven aud a half pounds. So it Is astonishing to behold a Chinese hunter carrying a twenty-four pound gun all day long. This particular native was accom- panted by a small, odd looklug animal, which the foreigner was assured was a dog. Observation of the hunter aud dog at work made a deep impression upon tbe stranger. A hen pheasant happened to drop into a furrowed field at feeding time. The native took her bearings, crept up as closely as be safely could, put down his gun on a bit of higher ground, and kept It trained on tbe bird. Meantime the dog lay down across the barrel of tbe gun, thus serving as a screen for bls master. When the proper moment had arrived, the man fired, the bird was killed upon the ground, and tbe dog remained on the barrel until bls master took up the gun to reload.— Youth’s Companion.

Once in the course of i her seven years’ residence ut the Ely- see she asked a favor at the hands of a cabinet minister.

Carnot, who said she would accept none.” YOUR USELESS CHIN What Mechanical or Physiological Purpose Does It Serve? “What is your chin for?” is the odd query raised by Sir Ray Lankester, the scientist, who says he Is unable to find any mechanical or physiological pur pose which the chin serves. “The fact that modern races of man kind have chins and most primitive men whose remains have been found did not have them naturally leads to speculation as to why this Is so,” he said. Dr. Forbes Ross agrees with Sir Ray that the chin is useless In itself, but gives tbe following explanation of the reason for It: "All animals that browse have no chin at all. Their teeth slant forward to allow them to reach easily things that would otherwise be beyond their reach. The moment man gave up browsing on green things and became less and less an animal his teeth grew erect, and his jaw bad to accommodate itself. Erect teeth prove man to be far removed from ruminants, and therefore a man with a well marked Jaw is fur ther removed from ruminants than a man without. That's why we are in clined to regard a man without a defi nite chin as possessing a mind rather like a sheep, without determination, without character.”—New York A m eri- can. Changing a Name, How a patronymic may be trans formed out of all recognition is shown by un Instance quoted by Cosmo lunes in his work on surnames: "James Halfpenny, a Dublin citizen, throve In trade, and bis children In duced him In bis later years to change the name, which they regarded as un dignified.

If Carefully Removed a N»w Supply Grows In a Few Years. As most people know, cork Is the outer bark of an oak. This tree, known to tbe botanists us Quercus sober, is an evergreen, native to the Mediter ranean region, and is cultivated in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Moroc co, Tunis and Algiers. If carefully done removing tbe bark does uot in jure tbe tree, and a new supply may be obtained from tbe same specimen after a few years. We are so familiar with the use of cork for the stoppers of bottles that we seldom realize its manifold other uses, though its connection with bob- ties dates back only about 500 years. YVe so commonly speak of tbe stopper of a bottle as a cork that we see no Incongruity in the expression "a rub ber cork.” Just as our word for stopper has been derived from tbe word cork, so cork Itself has probably been derived from tbe Spanish corcho, which in turn Is derived from the Latin cortex, meaning rind. Some authors, however, would derive cork from quercus, the generic name of all oaks. Cork is present In the bark of all trees, though in quantities too small to make it useful in tbe many ways in which cork from the cork oak is em ployed. Tbe cork barked elm, tbe sweet gum and a few others have strongly developed cork. BURIED ALIVE FORTY DAYS. i Queer Test a Hindu Fakir Is Said to Have Survived. Dr. Konlgberger, a physician In tbe Punjab, doubting the frequently re peated stories of tbe Hindu fakirs who claimed to be able to sustain life fo.r a considerable time after burial in the earth by tbe process known as “swal lowing the tongue,” determined to make the most rigid tests and exclude all possible fraud. One of these Brahman fakirs allowed himself to be buried by the doctor aDd ids suspicious colleagues in a well fastened and sealed vault. The burial lasted 6ucb a long time—for forty days —that some corn planted upon the soil above the vault sprouted before the unhappy fellow was released. Then the Hindu was freed, subjected by the doctor to restoratives and lived happily ever afterward. Sir Henry Lawrence, an English sci entist who assisted the German savant, substantiated tbe account Tbe chest In wblcb the fakir was burled was firmly sealed, and when the fellow was brought out he was cold and apparent ly lifeless. Readers of Stevenson will recall the Master of Ballantrae’s fatal attempt to escape from his murderers by this trick.—London Family Herald. Burglars and the Law. Remarklug that many members of tbe public feel some doubt as to tbe precise extent to which the law will uphold them In using violence to defeat or capture a burglar, the Law Journal of London says: "A peaceful tres passer must be requested to depart In peace, and only on his refusal can force be used to remove him, but a violent or an armed trespasser can be removed without such a request As a general rule, however. It Is not law ful to kill even a person assaulting one or stealing one’s goods. Unless one's life Is I d danger such an act Is at best manslaughter. Possibly In tbe defense of one's home tbe use of firearms U Justifiable, even If no violence to tbe person Is threatened, but this is very doubtful." A Lost Chance. Years ago a man named Saltzmann owned an estate In Griqualand. South Africa, and adjoining his property was an old, rundown farm that bad not been worked on account of Its poor soil and lack of necessary water. The own er of the farm met Herr Saltzmann one day and offered to trade the farm for an old waistcoat he had seen him wear ing. As Saltzmann did not wish to burden himself with a piece of worth less land, be kindly refused the offer. A few years later big, clear diamonds were found on tills waste stretch, and now thousands of pounds could not purchase It—London Mall. Not Very Reassuring. He—Your father called me a timber wolf.
