Manchus, Once Rulers of
China, Now Pull Peking's
Rickshas
Shaaghai,—The most common oc-
cupation to -day, if the once proud but
new vanishing race of Manchus is that
of ricksha puller,
Dr, Jermyn Lynn, Chinese profess:
or of law at Chao -yang University in
Peking,' who has made a special study
of the Manchus, predicts that in a
few decades the former ruling race
will be extinct or absorbed. Dr,
Lynn points out that the principal
Single occupation of the 260,000 Man
chug now resident in Peking is rieh-
eha pulling: The life of a ricksha cool-
ie is not long at best anis the Manchus,
softened by many decades of protect-
ed, luxurious living, aro ill adapted
to this rigorous employment, Con-
sequently they
onsequentlyth'ey succumb faster than do
the harder Chinese stock who are more
accustomed to strenuous physical ef-
fort.
Many other Manchus aro employed
as domestic servants in the homes of
foreigners while still another large
group find employment in the theaters
of which the Manchu aristocracy were
such generous patrons.
Before the fall of the Manchu dy-
nasty in. 1911 the duling race lived
largely to themselves in a separate
quarter in Peking and did not mingle
or intermarry with the Chinese. But
in later years, they have abandoned
their former seclusion. The Manchus
began to pay tribute to China as early
as 8330 B.C. and it was not until
nearly 4,000 years later that theycon-
quered. Peking and established a new
dynasty on the dragon throne.
The Blue Snow
Flower
In Switzerland next in impressive-
ness to the mountains, are the flow-
rs. They are unforgettable both in
minute' and exquioice beauty, A field.
of 'Alpine floweds is like nothing ise
we have ever seen. In the ease see-
ing alone is believing for the colors
are bey .nd all description, wonder
fun: They have a purity, a delicacy,
not found away from the mountain
hightsl. It almost seems, as one
writer has suggester, that the nearer
"we come to the whiteness of driven
snow and the blue of heaven, the
richer are the flowers colods." What
pictures for those -who have seen, do
such flower shames as Gentian, Pri-
mula, Anemone, Arnica Alpine for -

flowers and then as one lifts his
eyes, the towering whit summits of
Matterhorn and Eiger and Wetter
horn.
The :writercarries about with him
two little ,pressed Soldanellas, the
flower that often forms a blue border
on the edge of the snows. It literally
grows under the ice, melting a way
for itself by its own internal heat.
Its season 3s short and it must needs
reach the light, as soon as may be,
and so not finding a way, it makes
one -one of the world's tiny con-
querors, . so frail and delicate seem-
ing, yet apparently so hardy and un-
afraid. One las occasionally won-
dered if any way the gift of the stern
necessities of its dwelling.
The ancients, it is said, had four
cordial flowers for cheering the hu-
man spirit. There selection was rose
violet, alkanet and the blue flower-
ing borage. The little a"oldanella is
one of my cordial flowers. A glance
at the pressed specimens in my
pocketbook can sometimes do great
things for my courage By winning
that beauty on those snowy heights,
they have also won the power to bid
me to be of good cheer.

to protest its terms and urge their

Courtesy i`w of a Lost
Art
A man who has traveled far and
wide across the country rises to re-
mark that he has not found that cour-
tesy has become a farting memory, an
old-time gesture of hospitality and
gentle breeding no longer practiced
in these hurrying days
On the contrary, ho says courtesy
has boon shown him everywhere, part-
isularly in New England, where form-
ality and reserve have sometimes been
advertised as among the typical pro-
ducts. The experience of many an-
other wayfarer will doubtless prove
the soundness of the conclusion that
curtesy has not disappeared, but con-
tinues to thrive in most unexpected
places. Ono has only to drive up to
a garage for information about hotels,
roads, scenery or the state of the
universe—quite apart from any sale
of gasoline or oil—to find instant, un-
grudging response to all queries.
One has not to asst passers-by for
the story of tome local institution,
perhaps the way to a certain shop,
to bring courteous response, often-
times in great and elaborate detail
and warmly solicitors.
A young woman in a politeness
contest sponsored by a metropolitan
newspaper visited offices and shops in
search of likely candidates for the a-
warding of a $25 prize for courtesy
She had some difficulty in deciding
upon the winners. Practically all of
her studied and oftentimes involved,
luestions met with good-natured off -
instances did she encounter a disinter-
ested attitude, is none absolute dis-
courtesy.
The weaving together of peoples of
many nationalities and interests, the
mingling of trades and professions,
the dropping out of provincialism and
suspicion have brought about renewal
and growth of courtesy throughout
the land. Tp this happy result probab-
ly the automobile has contributed
more than any other one factor, un-
less it be the commondesire to lend
a hand. Christain Science Monitor.

A Garden.
It Pies beside the busy road -a leaven
of rest and of beauty. So few of the
pedestrains and motorists guess, when
racing past on the Scottish highway,
of the glories which lie just on the
other side of ;he hedge. Rn passant,
one would say, "It is a garden"; but
once inside the gate and wandering
through the riot of color, one exclaims
"This is'a paradise—a paradise made
by someone who loves and under-
stands flowerai" In confusion and.
profusion they grow, these tended and
beloved blooms. There is no limit or
dividing line, for a weed, picked up
for its beauty, is planted and thrives,
and, by some miraculous means, be.
comes an independent citizens, shat-
ing equal rights with the more stately,
garden -reared flowers.
Prom among the tall grasess peeps;
out a clump of deep -toned purple
pansies. They come upon one with
such a shock of surprise, as though
they realized that growing among tall
grasses was not quite usual, but be-
ing there, bless you! they would re-
main, to gladden the eyes of those
who found them, with their velvety
richness.
Round the irises, tall and stiff, cud -
dies a patch of Virginia stock. Lilies,
statuesquely beautiful, rise from
among the pure foam of Snow -in -
Summer, like beautilu1 maidens ris-
ing from a frothy sea, Campanula
bells, their blueness matchir-g the
sky, swing their heads in the breeze
and whisper words of wisdom to
adoring sea pinks; and an orange lily
tops a bed of lavender, Pansies, some
rainbow colored some blue, some
yellow, meet the gaze wherever it
dents. In beds of catmint nestle scar-
let mush, like rubies on a lavender
gown; while close to this crimson
and lavender grows a lovely scarlet
rose.
One might call it a demoscratic gar-
den, for in it all things grow with
equal fervor, from the green grass,
interspersed with the reddest of
clover, to the most fashionable and
aristocratic of blooms. And all this
wonder glows and perfumes the air
on a square piece of land under the
shadow of the hills, and is lulled to
sleep at night by the sound of a
cascading burn which flows beneath
the road, and so past the garden.
SAVE THE CHILDREN
In Summer When Childhood Ail-
ments Are Most Dangerous.
Mothers who keep a box of Baby's
Own Tablets in the house may feel
that the lives of their little ones are
reasonably safe during the hot wea-
ther. Stomach troubles, cholera in-
fantum and diarrhoea carry off thous-
ands of little ones every summer, in
most cases because the mother does
not have a safe medicine at hand to
give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets
relieve these troubles, or if given oc-
casionally to the well child they will
prevent their coming on. The Tab-
lets are guaranteed to be absolutely,
harmless even to the new-born babe.
They are especially good in summer
because they regulate the bowels and
keep the stomach sweet and pure.
They are sold by medicine dealers or
by mail at 25 cents a box from The
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock-
ville, Ont.
Lightning -Rods
The U.S, Bureau of Standards has
recently published some interesting
evidence of the value of lightning -
rods, deduced from reports of fire
marshals and insurance companies in
the United States and Canada, in
which the losses on rodded and un -
rodded buildings have been separated,
Says Charles Fitzhugh Tolman in his
Science Service feature, Wby the
Weather? (Washington):
"Most fire losses from lightning oc-
cur in rural districts. The proportion
of farm buildings equipped with light-
ning -rods is not definitely known, ex-
cept in the State of Iowa, where a
careful estimate indicates about 50
percent. During the period 1919.1921
twenty-eight rodded buildings in Iowa
were destroyed by lightning, with
losses amounting to $87,979. In the
same period 508 other buildings in the
State were destroyed by lightning,
and the losses were $1,060,668. Thus
the value of the rodded buildings des-
troyed was only 7..7 per cent. of the
total, although the number exposed to
lightning hazards was about 50 per
cent. Very similar conditions prob-
ably prevail ove rthe greater part of
the Mid -Western United States, where
it is believed that about half of the.
farm buildings, at least of the better
'class, are protected by rods. The
Bureau, in summing up the evidence
available, reaches the conclusion that
the chance of an unrodded farm build.

Woman Explorer
Travels Miles
Over Icy Wastes
Bombay. ---From the frozen arctic to
the sweltering heat of the tropics, is
the experience of Mrs. Olivia Cressy-
Marcks, English explorer, who bas
visited every country except Australia.
Last year, in November, Mrs.
Dressy-Marcks set out on a journey
which she hoped would lead her
across the frozen wastes of Lapland.
From Denmark to the arctic circle
was, comparatively speaking, easy
travel. There procuring reindeer and
guides she set out in a "pulk," the na-
tive sledge, on her journey of more
than 1000 miles, crossing the norther -
most parts of Norway, Sweden, Fin-
land and across Lapland into Russia.
Leaving Moscow and skirting the
Crimea, she Tossed the Caucasus into
Persia. There her mode of travel
changed and from the primitive Lap-
land "pulk" she took to the modern
motorcar, airplane and boat in Arabia.
After visiting parts of that country
she come to Garachi (India) by boat
and then went on a little trip to Bal-
uchistan and thence to Bombay by rail
across the desert.
Mrs. Cressy-Marcks' journeys are
made with the object of assisting na-
tural science and being a keen student
of topography she has made many
maps and has on many occasions been
able to supplement the knowledge of
many countries and places,
She has a private museum in her
home in Buxton (England), and bas
exhibited for charity her collection of
curios obtained from all over the
world. Arabia interests her more
than any other country. Her hobbies
are astronomy, prllosophy and rug
collecting.

How It's Done
At Scotland Yard
"The life of a Scotland Yard de-
tective, if one can judge by the re-
marks by Major '1', H Vitty, at the
conference of the Chief Constables'
Association at Brighton, seems to be
becoming quite oxoitin.
"This is entirely contrary to ac-
cepted views, too' we were always
taught to smile tolerantly; at the glam-
our of romance woven round the de-
tective profession by whiters of fict-
ion and; to believe that in actual prac-
tice Jetectivo is a pretty dull busi-
nss,"—Ycrkshire Poht,
"A good deal has been heard in the
Press about the failure of the Plying
Squad hitherto to cope with what are
known as 'smash and grab' raids,'
said Major T, H, Vitty, Engineer to
the Metroolitan Police, in a speech at
the Conference of Chief Constables at
Brighton, reports the Sussex Daily
News. "But it will be realised that
in an area the size of the Metropolitan
Police District (700 square miles) and
the small number of cars available,
the chances are enormously against a
policecar being in the immediate
neighbourhood when a ' smash and
grab' raid occurs, but in several cases
the perpetrators havo been pursued
and caught as a result of the inform-
ation of a 'smash and grab' raid being
immediatly sent out by wireless,
"Whoa a police message is sent
from Scotland Yard to all stations it
is also sent out by wireless to be
picked up by any patrolling van or
car. There is also an arrangement
under which any policeman in any
part of London who receives informa-
tion or sees anything which leads him
to believe that persons with a motor
car or other vehicle have committed,
or are committing a crime and have
decamped in the car can at once com-
municate by telephone with the wire-
less station at headquarters so that
the patrolling cars may be immed-
iately warned by wireless. As a re-
sult, the Plying Squad are thieves and
thieves in motor -cars.
"As an example of the speed with
which a capture can be effected I may
mention a ease which occurred a few
weeks ago, when a message was re-
ceived at Scotland Yard at 1.5 a.m.
that a car had been lost or stolen.
This was immediately broadcast by,
wireless, was picked up by one of the
cars which happened to be patrolling
in the neighbourhood, and the stolen
car was found and captured with the
thieves in it at 1.15 a.ni.
"Another interesting case was one
in which information was telephoned
up to Scotland Yard to the effect
that a number of wellknown women
shoplifters were drinking together in
in a public -house.
"This information was sent out by
wireless and the nearest patrolling
car which picked it up proceeded to
the public -house, waited outside till
the gang emerged, and then followed
them, with the result that the whole
lot were caught redhanded shoplifting
in a large store. The number of mes-
sages sent out from Scotland Yard my
wireless to the Flying Squad vans is
steadily increasing, and the equip-
ment is constantly being improved."
