Happy. Recovery 5;}aralytic Through
’ a Resort to Exposure.
The liveliest passenger ._on board the
steamship City'of Peking was Hum-
phrey Kendrick, of Los Angeles. He
had just returned from Japan, says the
San Francisco Chronicle, a country that
he loves, because a few years ago it com-
pletely cured him of paralysis.
wWhen Kendrick found that he had
lost control of his limbs be determined
to Spend all the money he had to get rc—
lief. It was easyenough to tell what
had brought the paralysis upon him,
for the first stroke came soon after he
had a bad tumble on horseback. The
animal fell in such a way as to catch
Kendrick squarely beneath it, severely
wrenching and straining his spine.
Kendrick found that he was much bet—
ter in hot weather, and this led him to
go to the Hawaiian islands. He was so
much better there when it was hot that
he concluded to go to a still warmer
place. Somebody told him that the
south coast of Japan in summer was,
the place.
For many months during that hottest
of hot summers Kendrick engaged in a
most- unique attempt to regain his
health. For days at a time he would
lie positively stripped to the skin in the
hot sand on the seashore of Japan. ‘ He
got so that he rather liked it. As the
days passed he kept getting better.
Then he took to seeking exercise. A
donkey was secured and Kendrick, stark
naked, would ride the anlmal up and
dovvn the beach. It was almost too hot
for the beast, but Kendrick did not seem
to mind it. The result was complete
recovery. Kendrick came'iback feel~
ing like a schoolboy and much infatu-
ated with the'country of the J aps.

Semi-.Ann'u—al Visitation at
Chekiang, China. ,
Twice a year—at each equinox—the
famous tides of the Tsien Tang river,
that flows from the borders of Kiangsi,
.I‘uhkien and Chickiang to Hang Chow
bay, attain their greatest height; and
a bore of sometimes over 40 feet in
height sweeps irresistibly up its shal-
low and funnel-shaped estuary, often
producing tremendous havoc to the
surrounding country—hence its name,
"moneydike,” from the amount expend-
ed in successive centuries on its en--
A Bore’s
\ l.nankments. It is seen at its best at
ilang Chow, the prefectural city not
i'ar from-its mouth. Twelve or '14 min—
utes‘before it is visible a dull, distant
roar is heard, momentarily swelling
until the wail of muddy water, tall as
the bulwarks of the biggest liner, as
overwhelming as a glacier, sweeps
into sight round the bend a mile away.
Not a boat is to be seen on the lately
crowded river; all are hauled up on to
the huge embankment and moored fore
and aft with a dozen rattan cables, for
none but ocean going steamers could
stem the current, and even they would
need skillful navigation.
As the ogre nears. the roar becomes
deafening as a storm at sea, drowning
the excited shouts of the thousands
who line the walls, until finally it foams
past in turbid majesty, hurrying to-
ward the heart of China. The celestial/s
' have tried to deal with it in every way,
human and superhuman.
A NOVELIST’S BLUNDER.
\ ._.__._. .
rgot He Had Killed Ofl a Character—
Had to Resuscitatc Him.
A'great master of the art of throwing
a off stories by daily installments was
Ponson du Terrail. When he was at
the height of his vogue, he kept three
running at the same time in dilfcrent
papers. His fertile imagination was
never at a loss, but his memory fre-
quently was. ~ He was apt to forget to-,
day what he did with a hero or heroine
yesterday. To help his memory, says a ‘
Paris letter to the Boston Transcript,
he at first noted down briefly in copy
books what happened to his men and
women, but finding that often he could
not read his own writing, he invented a
. new system. He procured little leaden
figures on which he gummed the names
'of his characters as they were born.
Supposing there were three stories run-
‘ning, there were three sets of figures in
different drawers. When a character
was settled off, the little man or woman
in lead was taken away from its com:
panions and laid aside.
One day when Ponson du Terrail was
all behind in his work, he set himself
to his task without examining the slain.
His bad memory led'him into a terrible
blunder. He had forgotten that he had
killed Ilocambole—the still famous lio-
cambolc—in the previous feuillcton,
and, to the great surprise of the reader,
he made him talk again as if nothing
out of the common had befallen him.
This resuscitation of Roeambole is one
of the most curious things in the his-
tory of the Romans-feuilleton. .4

rQUEER NAMES IN KENTUCKY.
Parents. Were Hard—Pressed When They
Gave Their Babies Designations.
You will not have to leave your own
state of Kentucky if you want to find
names that are as odd as they are
curious, says the Hazel Green Herald.
For instance, Letchcr county has fami-
lies in which these names are found:
l'logg, Horn, Happy, Holiday, Profit,
Democrat, Ilockhouse, Rittenwelter,
Walkin and Watergate. Some pecul-
iar post ollices found in these deunties
are: Smooth Creek, Millstone, Paper-
weight, Ilockhousc, Itatterhard and
Solomc’m. They believe in long names
up that way, and one poor child
struggles under the coguomen of Rob’:
ert S. Samuel T. Nelson R. Benjamin
P. Hester. In Knott county there is
uicknamed‘thus: Stick, Burch, Ham,
lardup, Buck, Del, Sal, Let, Pol, Bat
and Do-em. Leslie county has a Mad
Dog, Cutshin and IIell-for-Sartin post
offices, and the last named is on Hell-
for-Sartin creek, which is said to have
been named by early settlers who en-
countered many tribulations while ex-
ploring this locality and named 'the
creek accordingly. Pike county comes
next with Bass, Beatrice, Beefhide,
Canada, Lookout, Paw-Paw and Praise
post offices. Elliott has Backbone,
Gimlet, Mink, Ordinary and Wyett post
offices. _. _
THE FOREST PEST.
A Huge Horse-Fly_;‘:mt Lies in Walt in
' Mossy Dells.
Miss Eleanor Ormerod,’ in a letter to
the Veterinary Record, gives some in-
teresting details of Indian forest files,
which, after all, are not so very unlike
the horrible pests of the same name
which frequent the woods of southern
llngland, and most distinctly make life
“not worth living” to the poor horses
whom they select as victims. Miss Or-
mcrod says that “some horses are driven
mad by the presence of a single fly, and
in driving along not unfrequently start
kicking most violently, frequently run-
ning away with the carriage," etc.
This has reference to the Indian
spegimen, but we read that the English
winged demon has a “large, curved claw
wilh a saw-like edge beneath it, with
grooves down the lower part of the side
of the claw, so that each groove runs to
the notch between each tooth, the claws,
when laid side by side, forming a most
powerful grasping instrument." P-eal-
i;'.ing, however faintly. what suffering
such creatures can inflict on their prey,
surely no one will hesitate to get down
at once to search for, and if found pull
off, the forest ll y when a horse becomes
suddenly irritable and fractious while
being driven through country lanes: or
woods.
MONEY THAT IS TO BURN.
Confederate Bills Used Largely in Making
Electric-Light Carbona.
“Did you ever know what has become
of the greater part of the confederate
paper money with which this country
was flooded some years back?” asked
a local business man who had just re-
turned from a trip to the Atlanta ex-
position. "No? “'ell, neither did I
'until I struck Atlanta a few weeks ago.
In that ‘town I found an old man who
makes a business of quietly gathering
find. You know the stuff was‘issued
by the ten during the war, and there is
any quantity of it still floating around.
When the old man gets a big bundle
of the paper he sends it to Edison, the
inventor, who pays a good price for it.
Edison uses it to make carbon for in-
eandesccnt lamps. The paper upon
which the confederate Ifotes were en-
graved was made of the pulp of sea
grass. This branch of the paper mak-
ing industry has since become a dead
art, says the Philadelphia Record.
Sea. grass paper, when chemically
treated by Edison, has been found to
make the best sort of carbon for incan-
descent lights, and so there is always
a demand for the confederate bills.”
o
Imperial Education.
Some suggestive details concerning
the early education of the German em-
perors have recently been made known.
It seems that William II. had in early
childhood a tutor who was a captain
of the guards. Prince Bismarck had
recommended him, and he applied to
the heir tothe throne the principle on
which he had trained his recruits, “bend
or break.” ‘ The young Ilohcnzollern
was made to rise ‘at 5:30 every morning,
and at once begin a course of gym—
nastic‘ exercises unsuitable for a child
of his age. It is this regimen, author-
ities say, which made Prince William so
weak and nervous that his grandfather,
the old emperor, suggested one day to
Bismarck that his captain of the guard
would perhaps better return to his re-
cruits.

and Docillty of the Well-
Tralned Animals.
In the easternmost corner of Prussia,
near the village of Trakehnen, is a
famous horse-breeding establishment,
which was started by the father of
Frederick the Great. This great stud
farm is still carried on with character-
istic energy, and not only provides the
German army with the hundred thou-
sand horses which it requires in time of
peace, but does much toward keeping
up a high general standard among the
horses of the country. Nearly every
farm in east Prussia is devoted to this
one occupation, and the German army

hundred three-year-old stallions run-
ning free, and watched by two hcrders,
each bearing a long whip, which he
cracked now and then as a warning that
seine one of the herd was straying.
The herd appeared very quiet, and
paid little attention to our carriage as
it drove up close to them on the grass.
The major said that they were. as gentle
as sheep and not half as shy, and at his
invitation I jumped from my seat and
walked up to them, into the very midst
of them, strolling in and out amongst
them, patting them on the nose or
flank, wherever I happened to be near-
est to them. '
To secure this result a prize is offered
to those herders whose horses show the
most .confiding disposition at the ap-
proach of man.
One evening we went to see the
horses called home from the pasture.
They came in troops of hundreds, and
gathered in large inclosures facing the
stables. The main body divided itself
according to color, the blacks going to
one corner, the browns to another, the
bays to a third; of whites or grays I
saw no specnnens. /
Here and there would be one that had
mistaken his corner, or was seeking for-
hidden company out of mischief. The
keeper had no'difiicuity in bringing him
to his right senses, however, by simply
calling his name and waving his hand
in the direction of the corner to which
he belonged. The colt thus addressed
invariably leaped out from the corner
to which he was an intruder, and gal-
loped straight to the corner whose color
matched his. This. we saw done many
times over, and it never failed.—Youth’s
Companion. '
