HELPING THI. MASSACRE He Was Small But Willing To Do All Ho Conld. "Pay attention, now," paid the schoolmaster, addressing his clas* during the geography lesson. "The population of China is so great that two Chinamen die every time wp take a breath." This information made a deep impression on the juve nile scholars, and the master was particularly struck with fhe uncom fortable appearance of one small boy at the foot of the class. His face was flushed, and he was puffing luri ously. "What is the matter?" in quired the schoolmaster, with alarm. 'What on earth are you doing. Tom my?" '?Killing Chinamen, please, sir," was the answer. "I don't like them foreigners, so I'm getting rid of just as many as I can!"?Sphere The British Breed.

Tested With Drops of Water* A drop of water, even three or four drops, falling on the head seems a thing unworthy of attention; nevertheless in China a slow and con tinuous dropping of water on the head haa been found to be a method of torture ? under which the most 'aardened criminal abjectly howls for mercy. ' When a professor In the Sorbqnne states this to his class the other day, says the London Chronicle, one of the students laughed increduously, ana said it would take a good deal of that sort of thing to affect him. The. professor assured him that even oae quart of water dropped 6lowly onto his hand would be be yond his endurance. He agreed to experiment. A quart measure filled with water was brought in, a microscope hole was bored in the bottom and the per formance began, the professor count ing. During the first hundred drops the student made airy remarks. With the second hundred he began to look less cneerful, then gradually all his talk died away, and his face took on a haggard, tortured expression. With the third hundred the hand be gan to swell an look red. The pain increased to torture. Finally the skin broke. /At the four hundred and twentieth drop the sceptic acknowledged his doubts vanished and begged for mercy. He could bear no more. GUNS! ? GUNS!! OF THEM.
