YOU'VE MEN on IMPERIAL THRONES
Some of the most important empires on the
globe are now ruled by young men. The
Emperor of China, Helm Fung, is now in
the twenty-second year of his age, and the
third of his reign. It will be recollected
that he is Of the Tartar or Tu-tsing dynasty.
Prince Chu.kisi of the Ming dynasty, who
aspires to the throne of China, is about
nineteen years old. The Sultan, or Shah
Of Persia, Nasser-ad-din, is about twenty
years of age. ABDUL -Mediid-khon, the Sui
tan of Turkey, was born in April, lssS.-oi
course he is now little more than thirty
years Of age. The Emperor Francis Jo-
seph, of Austria, is nearly twenty three,
having been born in August, 1880. He as
cended the imperial throne in December

"OUR FLAG Is THERE. Mr.. Bryant,
in letter from Athens, describing the Diff
culties OF Dr.. King, the American missiona-
ry, with the government, says:
"One Sunday large crowd Of Greeks,
led by priest Of their church, assembled in
his house and garden to hear one of his dis
cources. His subject was the duty OF reli-
gious toleration. At the close, the priest
asked a question concerning some things
advanced in the discussion, to which DR..
King gave prudent answer. The priest
then demanded an explanation Of certain
positions laid down in another discourse
which Dr.. King declined giving at the time,
observing that he would agree to appoint
almost any other day for the discussion.--
The multitude Immediately joined the priest
10 demanding that the discussion should go
| on at that moment, with such fury and noise
that his friends thought bis life in dlnger.-
II happened at the time that the American

the very moment when the multitude seem.
ed ready to tear him to pieces, he bethoughi
himself of the flag. and hastily unroIiing it
let it stream from one of the windows. As
