clock a fairy tale of love and law in queer old china a way off on the other aide of the pacific ocean in cbina the country of oriental splendor there was a town called cineton in this town dwelt a little girl named loo- la only fifteen years old thick brown hair curled on the top of her head just like grown peoples and was held in place by a big but terfly pin she wore the prettiest silk gown that was all pink and blue and embroidered with lovely flowers and which covered even the toes of her tiny feet loola was swtetlooklng enough to eat with rosy face just like a piece of velvet or a peaoh and suoh brown eyes yoa could al most read by them every thought in her brain loolis grandfather a venerable old gen tleman was a mandarin still holding a very responsible position although already eighty years old for forty years of that time he had discharged his duties faithfully gaining the love and esteam of all bis neighbors alas i one day he neglected his duty a fault unpardonable in tho eyes of the law he forget to wind the town olook for this he was sentenced to have bis head out off the lext day at 3 oclook all loved leo la and trisd to comfort her but they could not for he was her only ivlng relative the people went around with very long faces in cington over his trouble some went about wailing some fell down on their knees to rub a sorry nose in the grass ind others held indignation meeting to dis cuss the oruel wrong all because they all loved loo la and ohoniim her grandfath er but the law mutt be enforoed how to do it and save him was the conundrum the big dock waiting to be wound looked as posited as tha rest the other mandarins very dear friends of chonxim were greatly puzzled they ooked wis scratched their chin rubbed their noses and studied the law books so bard they woro the baoks off the fat mandarin with the little nose lujgiud tkiog chontim from prison to bo town so k to wind and set it the lean mandarin with the big nose advised turning the olook back they frown ed at him they had to have time and chontim was the only one able to produoe it so they toek him from prison to the dock which he wound for perhaps the last time all the people felt that it was his st opportunity but the minute it tiokae 8fto they felt so joyous and hope wa s ieivedthat they premised him as he was led to prison he should be saved he shook his gray head solemnly and answered no no i my friends i shall die only bo kind to loola the wise men thought to bard their baok hair began to fall ut they would all have been bald if some one hadnt thought of old ringtail who had been ohief hunter to the emperor at once they set up a shout and ran to his house the crowd of twenty soon increased to five hundred ringtall was on the street and when he saw the multitude running bo thought a wild animal had escaped and the ex hun ter ran also to hide himself in his attic when they knocked on his door he got braver and poured water on them the fat mandarin did not mind a uttle water even taken like that and he went in side and kept ringtail from coming out teo lean mandarin toek a ladder and kept him from going in then thoy all orled how save chontlma head ringtall made a violent struggle pushing the big note down tho ladder and pulled the little- noiedft mandarin half out tho win dow so that hocouldneither get inerout this was owing to thefaot that he had a big heart which often fell to his shoes and shrunk his body to tho sz of a small mans frame the people gave no heed to mm ring tail was the hero of the hour he know just what they wanted after much delibera tion be spoke as follows kind friends when i was chief huoter to his majesty the court went hunting in the forest of bangtan he was attacked by a tiger the nobles fled from blm and i pierced tho tiger with my spear just as he would bave crushed the emperor fortlat ho gave mo a red pearl ring saying who ever presents that to me shall have any favor granted then the mob shouted where s the nng my friends i lost it in the lake and a fish swallowed it all ran on hearing this and brought fish ing tackle and the road leading to the lake was black with people seme had poles some only lines and some bent pins and spool of thread they fished all day and all night and they fished it dry but they found no ring so each one took some fish and left the lake deserted loola who had been up all night cried when the saw the solemn fisher she would try herself to catch the fish she said hav ing borrowed a pole she went to the mossy bank and there instead of fishing for her grandfathers life fell asleep to dream beautifully the fat mandarin caught in tho window to stayed put until morning to get at be bad to kick the frame loose he fell down but from a distance he too had caught the fuhldg fever and he got quickly up and flew to the lake he met the unsuccessful ones returning without the ring which so disappointed him he immediately offered his daughter as a prize to the one who would save chontims head being rioh it was a big inducement for the young men to strive for now it so happened that a noblemans son named fannee while fishing in the lake the day before had caught the fuh with the rinp in it he had given the fish not knowing the contents to a psor family who bad a very lagged son named sing lung who had found the ring while cleaning the fish sing lung not having nice olothes to wear to claim the mandarins daughter went to fannee and told him his trouble strange sa it may seem he was glad to hoar of sing lungs good fortune to help the suit along he loaned him his clothing and wore sin longs rags instead not proud of his unitorm funnee ran off to the lake there he saw loola asleep on the bank he thought her the loveliest little creature he bad ever seen he gszod with rapture on the pretty piotue and was turning away when loola rotted in her sleep off into the water being brave as well as handsome funnee sprang in and rescued her she was not hurt only frightened and fun- nee soon allayed her f ei rs and led her to the to wn unfortunate ly the customs of china dk not allow him to make love personally if it had the chances are he would have told her tho old old story straight on the spot at the town they saw sing lune leading the fat mandarins daughter before tho envious people the ring was found but the emperor lived ninety miles away and it was 2 30 furthermore news had boen brought of tho arrival of the executioner tho lean mandarin took a duty upon him self and climbed to the olook anrf turned it back an hour sing lung isod as a noble was called on for ad vie- tie bright soul took the ring and started tj go ninety miles and tack in thirty minutes the executioner came was much surprised to find he was too early and was just turning away when the clock struck 3 every one groaned the loan mandarin had forgotten that the olook would strike the executioner looked solemn drew his eword wiped it on his sleeve and oalled for the prisoner the lean mandarin asked if he otuldnt postpone it six weeks no replied he but i will take a substi tute who shall it bo demanded the lean mandarin the executioner looked interested sup pose you try it sir yon are tall and wouldnt miss yonr head im sure but he refused the honor funnee was told who loola was and all the details on hearing the sad story he stepped up and ffered to be the victim he was poor and ragged and the mob cheered him for his devotion for his noble birth was not known it was net of so muoh cm sequence af ur all already he had fallen en his knees for the beheading when leola ran up and cried he mut uot die i will die first then they all cried foolish ohlld i he will save chontim see i he is ragged and psor i she answered he must not 1 he saved my life today then it was notioed for the first time that both were wet the executioner looked away to hide the tears but boon saw a man ooming that oaused his heart to harden for the loss of his fee the messenger had a reprieve and further news that the emperor was only a mile away i the potentate came and all his people fell down on their knees rubbing their face in the earth sing lung was near

to the study of the human races o the academy of sciences ha given an interesting summary of bis general conclusions with regard to the origin and distribution of mankind neglecting the minor differences he estimates that there are no fewer than sev entytwo distinct races in the human species all those decend or branch off from three fundamental types tbe black tbe yellow and the white whloh had their orlgin at the great central mass of northern asia which is thus the cradle of mankind representatives of these different types and the raaes sprung from them are still to be found there the wbjtes according to m de qaatrefa gea appear to have originated on the west of th central mass the yellows on the north and the blacks on the south the whites extended westward and northward giving birth to three secondary types the finnish the ssmltfo and the aryan if we except the allephylos which form a separate group their area of distribution is continuous as is that ef the yellows because of the exten sive land surface of the eurasian continent the yellows spread eastward and orossed into america tbe whites and yellows are checked or blended with each other produc ing many varieties of man the blacks or negro type whloh originated on the south of the centeral mass was f orcod by the nature of tbe continent and probably by the at tacks of the whites and yellows to go south into africa and east into the indian archipe lago or melanesia the protostmlces arrested their distribution in the north of afrioa and the mixtureof j the ttwo races gave rise to the negroid populations in tho centre and south of afrioa the blacks continued in their ethnlo purity until the infiltration of other races from earep and the northjof afrioa in modern times those which remained in their original home became blended with the whites and yellows giving rise to the dra- vidian populations which puis by shades into the three fundamental types as for the allophyles represented by the raco of cromagnon they ocoupied parts of europe and north africa from which they extended to the canaries the three funda mental types also found themselves in oceania tbe allophylian whites occupying polynesia tho blacks malneala tbe yellowb malasla the latter were according to m do quatrefages the last to come into the maritime world the peopling of america dates from the quaternary period and is duo to migrations of different types allophylfo white and yellow blending with the local quaternary races whloh also belonged to the yellow type europe since tho tertiary ages has

whom he recently played a most outrageous trlok among the other f eacures of this druggists counter display is an unusually fine and oostly lino of perfumery for the past week he noticed that two very vivacious pretty and welldressed young ladies who made frequent visits at his store were in the habit of nonchalantly helping themselves to the odorous liquid they would drop in to make some suoh purchase as five cents worch of chewing gum or ten oentb worth of stamps and while mr druggist was wait ing upon them each fair one wonld seize a mary stuart or nowmown hay bottle and splash the contents upon tho dainty handkerchiefs of the twain of oourso these trifling thefts are womans little privileges but just the same the druggist wasnt inclined to lob thorn go unchallenged he determined to head off the vivacious young ladles who were playing havoo with his profits on perfumery and he did it in the most effectual if cruel manner ono morning he romoved all tho porf umery bottles from the counter hethen substiuted a largo bottle labeled breath of tho rosea or something of the eort and filled it with a most vile decootion it con tained asafetida did this conoootlon and other elements rqoally slokening so shrewdly wai the mixture compounded how ever that it would not dovelop its nauseating effects except under the influence of slight warmth such as that afforded by a pocket that day tbe yountr ladles paid their usual call flounoing into the store they made a trivial purohase saturated tbeir handker chiefs and dashed out to catch a passing street oar stuffing their delloate bits of lace and linen into their pockets the young ladies had hardly seated them selves before the asafetida combination began to get in its deadly work tho odor becamo slokening but no ono knew whenoe it came the passongers wondered and suf fered tho conductor racked his brain to find a solution of the malodorous mystery no solution all at onco ono of the afore said young ladles happened to draw out hor handkerchief she dropped it and dropped it suddenly with a shriek and a gasp the mystery was solved a moment later the oar was stopped and amid a roar of laughter blushing
