One. hailing from Massachusetts. is a ser— ‘geant of company I. while the other a Pennsylvanian. is a private in comr pany M. Soon after the regiment arrived at Montauk Point, Sergt. Spring began to get very flattering letters from a young lady living in a small Pennsylvania town; also express packages. 'which were none the less welcome for being unexpected. At the same time Private I Spring was deciding that he must be able to charm at a distance. because a Massachusetts girl was writing to him in a particularly affectionate strain. and wanting to know if there wasn't some- thing she could send him. Private Spring thought of a lot of things that he could use if he had them. but as the fair- correspondent had omitted to sign her last name, it didn‘t seem feasible to write for them Pres- ently both Springs began to get letters complaining that no answer had been received to questions» asked in‘ the writer‘s pre‘viou’s letters. At the height of the tangle Sergt. Spring was walking along the road one ' day, when a comrade called his name. He and another man ahead of him both walked back. asking what was wanted “Is y our name Spring. too?" asked the sergeant. “That 5 what, " replied the other man. “Francis Joseph Spring.” “Well, that 5 me. too, ” said the ser- geant. “Say, " he added. as a thought struck him. “do you get letters from a girl named Molly?” _ “No, I don’t,” replied theother. as 111-any as I ought to.” - “I do; more than I ought to," said the sergeant. “I guess they’re yours.” “I’ve got some from Sarah that I'll trade for ’em," said the private. grin- ping._ “Th’a ’s a go ” answered the Massa- chusetts man, and all w as satisfactorily arranged. except for the contents of sundry packages, which had been de- v.0ured After that the two 'Springs met every other day and held a mail exchange.

After all, happiness doesn’t depend on the amount of a man’s income. “I was quite intimate with William- H. Vanderbilt when he was considered the richest man in the country. I met him one day in. Fifth avenue and said to him that he ought to be the hap- piest man in the world. .‘I am not,’ the great millionaire replied. ‘My health is shattered and all the moneyI possess cannot restore it. I cannot even drive ,one of my fine horses. It is painful for me to sit down. My only possible ex— ercise isfor me to walk down the ave- nue.

They Prepare Many Medicines, and Some of Them Are Very Bit- ternecoc'tlons. The taking of a first dose of Chinese medicine is an ordeal which can be bet- ter imagined than described. It is in— variably a bitter decoction, says Lip- pincott’s. If the patient prefers, the herbs are givenhim in square-paste- board boxes holidin'g, about a pint each, and he “cooks” them at home. A Chinese prescription contains from ten to-s'ixtecn varieties of herbs, flowers, nuts, gums, barks and roots. More than 3,000 species ,are classified and used as medicine, but of these only some 600 are in general use. Whether the patient takes the remediesat the‘ sanitarium or at home, he is requested to present himself every day before the doctOr for another pulse examina- tion, so that every change in his con~ dition may be noted and the prescrip— tion may be varied accordingly. The Chinese are clever chemists in the line of pharmaceutical preparations, and prepare many medicines for their own use in the, form of pills and powders; but these are employed by the Chinese physicians in treating the ailments of white people only to a limited extent- The reason given is that the simple, but decoctions of the fresh root or plant are the best form. because the most” readily assimilated into the sys em The Best Donkeys.
