COWED THE CHINESE. Tha "Foreign Devi!" Used « CollegeYell as a Battle Cry. On board a launch on which I was •ailing up the Yangtze river were about thirty C&*ese •oWttem of such • ragamufiin appeamnte as to excite my auspicious, but ft rttmately without their titles. As tresta* of thefirstday came on they crowded around the •mail det k house and demanded of the »atltv agent to know what the "foreign devil" was doing here. Now, I had bean cleaning and oiling the van ous parts of my sample machine guu during ttfe day. Before nightfall I drew the blinds of the deekjuouse and. quickly assembling the gun', slipped in a loaded belt. 1 now told the agent, who was white with fear, to tell these fellows that this "foreign devil" "belong crazy" and also "bun lehi" (very tieivet and as a isortof warning to* "keep off the grass" I oi»ened the door and let off a string of about fifty shots into tbe air, at the game time giving the Yale college yell. which was the handiest warery I could think of at the moment. Whether it was the information imparted by the agent, Chen, the shots or the Yale cheer I cannot say. but all hands crowded to the other end of the launch and remained at a respectful distance until Xanehang was reached. to the great amusement of tbe Chinese captain and engineer, who, however, had deemed it good jwllcy to allow tbe passengers to settle their own disputes without interference. This Incident is pleasant to remember, but at the time 1 was badly seared.— From "Drumming Revolutionary China," by Bartlett G. Yung, in World's Work.
ORIGIN OF BANK CHECKS. Dense London Fogs, It la Said, Forced Their Introduction. It is elalmed that the business world owes the idea of tbe bank check to nothing else than London's fogs. These fogs are sometimes of such a density that r*»* pedestrian can see but a few feet eLead of him. Something over a hundred years ago. it is said, the attacks of thieves and highwaymen In the British capital upon bank messengers and tradesmen going through the streets to settle their bills became so frequent in times of heavy fog as seriously to interfere with the conduct of Londou'a business. It was easy for the thief to ambush his victim, club him into insensibility, rob him and then disappear into the murky atmosphere, with little likelihood of apprehension or identification or that passersby would witness the commission of the crime or be of any assistance In the chase. In these circumstances bankers, tradesmen and others set their wits to working, with the result that the bank check was devised for the payment of debts. Soon the highwaymen found that a few pieces of paper were all the booty they were likely to get from a "boldnp" of even a wealthy tradesman. Accordingly the activities of the daylight robbers soon came to an end, bat the convenience of the bank check proved so great that it survived not only In London, but was adopted throughout the civilized world.—Washington Star. Raw Sponges. To persons who know sponges only as they appear ready for sale and use the animal as it comes from the sea would l>e unrecognizable. It is a solid looking, rather slimy, fleshy body, varying in color from light grayish yellow through a range of browns to black and in form it is cup shaped, spheroidal or cake shaped, according to the species, its age or the environment in which it grew. In general, in appearance and consistency and the manner In which it cuts with a knife. n living sheep's wool sponge is not unlike a piece of beef liver perforated witli holes and canals. The sponge of the markets fs merely the skeleton, the supporting framework which gives strength and form to the soft, gelatinous tissue of the living nnimal. Imaginary Whys of Celibacy. Curious how vvhen a man remains a bachelor people will speculate concerning his celibate state: "Well, he lias had an unfortunate affair some time or other. No man as attractive as he has gone this long without i tender memory to accompany bim." Of n woman: "Funny she never married. Now, you'd think she'd he attractive to the t e n , wouldn't yttu'r"—New York Sun. Good New* For Papa. Taw!" "Welir "When I promise to marry him do »on want him to come and ask your tonsent?" "No, not my consent, but I would like to bare bin trot In nnd tell me the good news. 1 sort of feel like I needed cheering up."—Houston Post.
