The Chinese Fleet.

The Miltta,5sche Bldtter, in an article
upon the fleets of Japan and China, states
that the former country possesses at the
present time twelve vessels of war-an
armor- plated ram, three iron-clads, four
corvettes, two clippers, a brig, gun-boat,
two sloops, an Imperial yacht and sail
ing vessel, used for transport service. The
fleet is manned by 1900 sailors, of whom
III are officers, in addition to marines and
artillerymen. The officers and engineers
of the navy receive their education in
naval school, capable of receiving $50 stu
dents established at Yeddo.
The Chinese fleet consists of three
squadrons, with headquarters at Canton,
Foochow and Shanghai. The Canton
squadron comprises three steam junks and
nine gunboats; the Foochow squadron
corvette of thirteen guns, six gunboats
and eight transports; and the Shanghai
squadron two frigates and nire transports
or understanding in all total OF
thirty eight vessels. The engines OF these
vessels were all constructed in England,

Aer0lites.

Aerolites have lately attracted un-
wonted attention owing to one of them
having come down with a thump on
Windsor Castle. This incident would,
however, have caused no surprise in cOun-
tries where the fall of meteoric stones
from the skies is almost as common as the
shower Of stones and other missiles hurled
by the playful youths Of London from
railway bridges at passing trains. In the
Mysore Provinces the fall of aerOlites is,
says Bangalore paper, common enough,
and DR.. Haynes in his Statistical Frag-
nsent on MysOre, drawn up in the year 1900,
states that " Masses of immense size are
said to have fallen from the clouds at diff
ferent periods. In the latter part of Tip
poo Sultan's reign it is on record, and
well authenticated, that piece fell near

which, by the Sultan's officers, was re-
ported to produce the effect Of fire on the

the sensation of extreme frigidity. 1t is
stated that two days elapsed before it was
entirely dissolved, during which time it
exhaled such q stencil as to prevent people
from approaching it. This account Is in
the public record of Tippoo's reign, from

thus virtually all slave mothers. Talide
SDuttan Is the distinctive title used in
speaking Of the mother of the Padishah,
or the Sultan, but 1t applies also to the
mothers Of the Sultanas. There are in
reality four words-cdlide, oonam,ool, nina,
ana-expressing "mother," and the
shades of difference in meaning show how
decidedly Turkish woman's grade in
society is derived from her motherhood
Ana is applied even to animals, but nina
is the ordinary appellation, and used by a
child to its own parent. Great veneration
is shown the Sood- Nina (milk -mother) or
foster mother. Buyuk Khanum Mana

two or three times week, when they re-
cline on the same divan, call each other
k0desch SISTER, and between the whiffs of
their chibouques retail the incidents of the
visits they have paid and received. On
rare occasions the ohole family meet,
and more than once was present
at such family reunion. 1t was
one of the most curious scenes l
have ever witnessed. There was dinner
given, the ceremony about which con-
sisted in the waiting being performed by
the slaves of the higest rankin fact, by
the slave mothers, who stood behind the
chairs of the Pasha, his wives and chill
dren, both sons and daughters. We were
not seated on the low circular divan in
ordinary Turkish fashion, but at a long
table furnished alla tranca (the Turkish
expression for European customs). Sill
yer knives and forks were to be used by
all the guests, by the Pasha's express
wish. He was evidently preparing IA lit
tie fun for the whole party, as the duen-
mas, being accustomed to eat only with
their fingers, could not manage the
knife and fork. One old lady bungled
through the courses holding the knife in
her left hand and the fork in her right;
another abandoned it altogether, amid
much merriment. There was every lux
ury of silver, glass and European appli-
ances, and our rather large party almost
filled the pretty dining room, the furni-
ture of which was of carved oak, huge
cupbOards also of carved oak nearly COW

Lost Coupons.

The Treasury Department does not now
attempt to caveat or stop payment Of
stolen or lost coupons; but it has done and
may in the future do, something for the
relief of parties who are able to produce
proof of the destruction of their missing
coupons. A little incident which comes
to mind fully illustrates the position as
sumed by the Treasury Department in the
last named premises.
Not long ago, one of our most active
and intelligent capitalists, who was
pressed for time to attend to all the cou-
pom clipping devolving upon him as a
heavy holder of large lines of coupon
bonds of various descriptions, took home
to his suburban villa a lot of coupon $50
United States bonds for the purpose Of
cutting from them, in the quiet of his do
nestle circle, out of business hours the
maturing coupons the collection of which
required immediate attention. The cut.
ting was done quietly and eXpeditiously,
but the little gold notes, which occupy so
small a space even when they amount to a
good deal of money, were, by accident,
left somewhat exposed, and finally, very
naturally, in one of those depraved move
ments of common things which are not
by any means very uncommon, become
scattered over the parlor floor.
In this position they wore, to the good
lady of the house, Il genuine waste paper
look, and as waste paper were quietly
swept into the dust pan and consigned to
the hungry fire. We know Of many q la
dy of first-class housekeeping ability who
would not be able to distinguish Il coupon
who has no occasion to make their ac-
quaintance, being perfectly contented with
liberal supply of stuff which coupons
may be exchanged for.
In this case of destroyed coupons the los
ing capitalist succeeded, after long cam
paign, in getting reimbursement from
the United States Treasury. \ formida-

An Incident Of q Famine.

A characteristic incident connected with
the famine in the north of China reaches
the Shanghai Courier from Pekin. 1t
seems that the scarcity of food has been
greatly felt in many of the outlying coun-
try villages, and the dearth was all the
keener from the fact that the people were
uncared for by single mandarin, the
only authorities in the neighborhood be-
ing soldiers. So an old gentleman, q
scholar and man of much repute. be.

encouragement from his friends he went

beautifully written petition PRAYING for

English POliteness and PrOnuncia.

l.. j. Jennings writes from London to
the New York World: /" 1 doubt whether
the English will ever be polite people
it is not in their blood. When | see a
dozen of them together-whether in the
country or in town, in drawing room
or a theater, at club or HOTEL am
always struck by their rudeness to each
other. They will scarcely answer ques-
ton in civil manner. They walk into
the coffee room of hotel, where ladies
are present, with their hats on, and shout
out for and to the waiter in their loudest
and most commanding tones. They
stand all across doorway, and will not
make room for anybody to pass, and if
you enter railroad carriage where a
few of them are, they glare at you in a
manner which speedily convinces you
that you have no right there and have
been guilty Of an unwarrantble intrusion

One Method Of Settling Hotel.Bills,

The popular landlord of a leading no.
tel at Long Branch, like many other dis
tinguished Americans, is fond of nice
little game of draw-poker occasionally.
But, toward the close of the season, few
weeks ago, he had an experience, a repe-
tition of which would soon end his career
at cards. Among his regular guests was
a well-known millionaire capitalist, who,
upon one occasion, invited some Western
friends to visit him at the Branch for a
few days. He was liberal in his arrange
ments, and so extravagantly profuse that
his friends (who are themselves comfort.
ably fixed in this worlds goods) began to
feel embarrassed. He had arranged mat
tiers SO literally that barkeepers, boot
blacks, hall boys, waiters-in fact, every
body In the hotel-refused the customary
gratuities offered by the millionaire's
guests. If they tried to tip quarter to
one of the hall-boys, he held back his
hand and answered: 1T is all right, sir.
Cannot take anything from you this time.
Orders, you know, SIR" They were to
leave Monday morning. On Saturday
evening, while all were sitting on the bal
cony, mine host called aside the million
aire, and, after being excused to his
guests, the latter went upstairs with the
lanuIord. AFTER waiting awhile for his
return, they took stroll, and, on their re-
turn, one of them proposed that they set
tie the hotel bill before their friend had a
chance to get ahead of them. It was in
stantly seconded by the rest, and they
proceeded to the hotel office, where the
clerk was requested to make out their
bills. The landlord happened to enter
the office at the moment, and compre-
hended the situation at glance. He
simply said: "Never mind your bills,
gentlemen. Since B. left you, he has
won enough from me to pay all your bills
and his own, too, for month to come.
only wish I had let him alone when he
was sitting with you a couple of hours
ago." 1t was q fact; he had paid his
hotel bill from his winnings, and the land
lord is yet figuring to discover where the
profits came in on that partly. ?. Cor.
