4 Chinese ldyI.

FASHIONABLE circles at Shanghai have
recently found abundant food for gossip
in an exciting incident" Of which q
Chinese General is the hero. This war.
rior, after having reaped his laurels by
defending the Mohammedans in Yunan,
happened to be struck with one of the
Celestial beauties whom he saw while
passing through Shanghai on his way to
Peking. Unfortunately this young lady
was the daughter of o distinguished per.
sonage, and was af1lanced to wealthy
Chinese. This only infamed the passion
of the aged warrior, who, by liberal
distribution of presents, gained the conf
dence Of several persons belonging to the
young lady's household, and, what was
still better, of her mother. 1t only re-
mained for him, in order TO insure the
success of the elopement, to secure the
passive cooperation of the police, and
this he was enabled to do by judicious
arrangements with tapao, once men,
Der Of the municipal police, who under
took to "make it right" with his former
colleagues. So at the appointed time
the General was enabled to carry the
young lady Oft from her house, and the
happy COUPLE" embarking in richly
decorated sampan which was lying in the
river, got of safely to Soochow. The
marriage does not appear, however, to
have been happy one, for the General
has written to the fiance, offering to re-
turn him his wife and to pay good
round sum to be rid of her. The Gener-
al's influence will be sufficiently strong
to protect him from punishment, but the
tapao who "made it right" with the police
will probably suffer for his share in the
offense of separating two affianced per-
sons-which is visited with severe penal
ties in China and most Eastern countries.

The Boy King.

A WRITER in Appleton's Journal says,
in speaking of Alphonso: 1.-THE young
King is not a bad-looking fellow, but he
looks too much like his precious mother
to give one much confidence in the strict
rectitude of his conduct. l wonder If
in his diplomatic transactions with the
United States he will ever recall rem
contre with sundry juvenile citizens OF
that country which marked the COM
mencement of his career as royal exile.
Shortly after his lady-mother was sent
flying she brought her sweet self and all
the royal train to Geneva. She placed
the present King at certain wellknown
boarding-school in that city. This school
was largely patronized by Americans,
and on the day of Don Alphonso's arri-
val sundry sturdy young republicans,
seeing q sullen boy, lonely and discon-
solAte. were minded to be kind to him.
So one of them stepped up to the moping
boy, gave him q friendly slap on the
shoulder, and cried: Halloa, Spain,
come and play with u.s. Whereupon
the young gentleman drew himself up
and informed his schoolmates that he
was Prince, and he was not to be called
sSpain.' but your Royal Highneas;
that he was not to be touched py PIE.

exiled heir to good thrashing BY way Of
teaching him good manners, and his
mother forthwith took him away from
school" 81: lssss !.

How MANY boys and girls know how
sleigh.bells are made? How do you
think the little iron ball gets inside the
bell? 1t is too big to be put in through
the holes in the bell and yet it is inside.
How did it get there?
This little iron ball is called !" the
jinglet" When you shake the sleigh
bell it jingles. When the horse trots
the bells jingle, jingle, jingle. In max.
ing the bell this jinglet is put inside
little ball of mud just the shape OF the
inside of the bell. Then mold is made
Just the shape of the outside of the bell.
This mud ball, with the jingle. inside, is
placed in the mold Of the outside, and
the melted metal is poured in, which
fills up the space between the mud ball
and the mold.
When the mold is taken Oft you see
sleigh-ben, but it will not ring, as it is
full of dirt. The hot metal dries the
dirt that the ball is made of so it can be
all shaken out. After the dirt is all
shaken out of the holes in the bell the
little iron jinglet will still be in the bell
and it will ring all right.
It took good many years to think out
how to make acknowledgements

THE BEST KIND or WIFE.

BIZ MARION BERNsTEM.
"OH, WHERE shall search fer q suitable
wife%'
Said Celebs one day, with his lantern in
hand;
And he searched and searched through the
world all his life
He hunted on sea, he hunted on land,
But he never found one that would suit him
and why?
The reason is plain-that he tried the wrong
You can all Of you find good wife If you
try, m
And you need not be searching all night
and all day;
For this is the truth-it win yet be confessed:
The best kind of wife is the lass you love best
You can marry wife who can cook and sew,
And have all other virtues a woman can
claim;
But if she can't love you, you'd far better 20
And wed one who knows nothing but loves
gentle name;
You might marry wife with long pedigree,
And riches, and beauty, that none could ex-
eel;
But If you don't love her, it's easy to see
You'd best wed the rustic you could love
too well.
For this is the truth-it will yet be confessed:
The best kind of wife is the lass you love best.
All those who will marry must marry for life,
And therefore beware lest your choice
should be wrong;
EOr whore fhorose Iowa %1oro 20 a., 50 b, T.,
strife
And strife matrimonial can last very long.
But all joys will be brighter, all sorrows less
deep,
In heart where the true love doth con-
stantly dwell.
Then still let your mem'ry this true proverb
keep
"He loyeth most wisely whose heart loyeth
WELL"
For this is the truth-it will yet be confessed:
The best kind of wife is the lass you love best.

"OBBIE-DOBBIE." I"

BY MRS. HATTIE r. BELL.
"OBBIE- DoBBIR" was baby
Funny name, l think, don't you?
This is what her papa called her,
And she had another too.
Funny name and funny baby,
With cunning little face;
And the other name they called her
Was the prettier one of Grace.
One day little Obbie -Dobbie"
Laughed and laughed with all her might
Looking up into her dress-sleeve,
Eyes and nose all lid from sight.
Mamma said, "Why, what's the matter?
Is it real or make-believe
AL this fun?" The baby answered.:
