THUR8PAY, OCTOBER .
Lloh Dog of China Nam*
Given to the Pekingese
The Pekingese was known for hun-
dreds of years as the Lion dog of
China. He is to be seen in paint-
ings, ceramics, bronzes, and richly
colored textiles, adorning fans and
boxes and gongs. He is an artistic
inspiration, a symbol of religion and
rule, an animal revered in the
Purple Forbidden city even more
than the sacred cat in ancient
Egypt.
We can conceive no resemblance
between a Pekingese and a lion,
observes a writer in the Chambers'
Journal. Such a conception seems
absurd. It is absurd except to the
imaginative mind of the Chinese,
who, anxious to confer every pos-
sible and impossible honor upon
that dog, went so far as to associate
him with the king of beasts.
Pekingese dogs lived in the For-
bidden city. Eunuchs fed, washed
and exercised tham.
It was at one time the custom in
China, to kill unwanted female
babies, and some of the unfortunate
mothers were compelled to suckle
Pekingese puppies. Is it mere fancy
that makes many lovers of that
breed claim to see something hu-
in the Pekingeset

All Countries Are Drawn
Upon for Chemists' Goods
In order to flit the drawers and
bottles of an ordinary chemist's
shop, there is hardly a country
which is not drawn upon for some
ingredient or drug.
Castor oil is made from the seeds
of the carter bean, a plant which
grows well in any tropical country,
but the best oil comes from the
plants grown in India.
Aloes, from which aloin is pre-
• pared, is the juice squeezed from the
1 thick, prickly leaves of a variety of
| aloe. The best comes from Arabia,
but much is grown for medical pur-
poses in the West Indies. The
juice dries into solid blocks, in
which state it is imported into this
country, says London Answers mag-
azine.
The rhubarb from which pills are
made is not that with which we
make tarts in the spring. In the
trade it is known as Turkey rhu-
barb, but it is really the root of a
plant principally grown in China.
Quinine is the bark of the cin-
chona-tree, and licorice, much used
for coughs and sore throats, is most-
ly grown in Italy.
Removed White House Bathtub
When Andrew Jackson was Presi-
dent he had a crude bathtub re-
moved from the White House which
Dolly Madison had installed there,
and it was 22 years later before an-
other one was put in. It was in-
stalled there for President Fillmore,
who was noted for his neatness and
his cleanly habits, and whose wife
introduced the bathing practice in
the executive mansion as a preven-
tive against malaria, then preva-
lent in Washington.
Home of Birds of Paradise
Robinson Crusoe's island of To-
bago is the ward of Trinidad. To
bago lies on one of the unbeaten
paths which can lay claim to u >
spoiled beauty. The Bird of Para-
dise island is 1% miles from To-
bago. On the former the birds of
paradise live in hilly and verdant
environment. Nowhere else in the
world can these birds be seen in
their wild state except in Dutch
Mew Guinea whence they came.
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Christie of
Garland spent the week end here
with Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Featherstone.
Pint Geaerstor
The first generator developed for
laboratory work was built by Mich-
ael Faraday in 1831. The flrst motor
was built in 1870 by Zenobe Theo-
phile Gramme and was obviously
for laboratory work. For the Vien-
na fair in 1873 a generator was built
to'be driven by a steam engine. Due
to an error in the fleld construction,
the generator ran faster than the
engine and the flrst "commercial"
motor resulted. The flrst central
station generator was built by Edi-
son in 1882, consisting of a 2,000-
horsepower dynamo for the Pearl
street station in New York city.
Mr. and Mrs. Dick Carson of
Stamford spent Sunday here with
her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs.
Bob Robertson.
Chinese Invented Paper
The invention of paper is credited
to the Chinese. The art is be-
lieved to have been carried by the
Moors into Spain—thence into Italy,
and then to France. Germany, and
the low countries, and lastly to Eng-
land and America.
