Russia's Gift to Prussia.

During the brief occupation OF Berlin
by the Russian army in 1760 the inva-
ders plundered the Royal Arsenal of its
more valuable arms and trophies of war,
and carried off their booty to Russia.
Among the objects peculiarly precious
to the PrIssian army that were thus
'annexed"was a splendid car, presented
by Frederick William l., thirty years
previously to his corps of field artIllary
for the accommodation of drums and
colors on extraordinary occasions, such
as reviews or grand parades. In shape
resembling shell and painted a bright
scarlet, this car drawn by four grey
stations, with tiger-skin trappings and
tall red and white plumes, used to preced
the artillery column during its march
past the saluting flag surrounded by the
SO called .Janissary-Music," in which
his Majesty took such especial delight.
The head drummer of the artillery corps
occupied the back seat. having III front
of him two huge silver mounted drums,
suspended in slings and behind the four
standards of the corps. Frederick the
Great refused to take this costly equip
age with him when he started from Ber-
lin at the commencement of the Seven
Years War, never dreaming that the
Russians would succeed in pouncing
upon his capital behind his back: and
so it fell into the hands of Muscovite
General. who conveyed it to st. Peters
burg, where it was deposited with great
pomp and ceremony in the armory of
Fort Petropavlovsk. Gar Alexander III
has lately Intimated his intention to re
store this interesting relic of Prussia's
early military history to its rightful own
er, the German Emperor. 1t will be
brought to Berlin by Russian guard
of honor. and deposited in the Arsenal
on the Linden avenue from which It was
forcibly removed nearly century and a
quarter ago.

Chasing Gobbiers.

The boys up on Wallan's creek,
Georgia, have adopted novel way to
gcbble up wild gobblers. When they
take it into their heads to make a raid
on this monstrous wild bird they simply
provide themselves with fleet horses and
a pack of dogs as their only implements
of warfare. Thus equipped they lie
away to the woods, and when they find
their game they simply put spurs to
their horses and proceed to chase as
though it were fox instead of tur-
key. A fat gobbler, it Is said, cannot
fly great distance, and when he pitches
if on the ground, he takes to his heels
till he is so closely pursued by the dogs
that he is compelled to resort again to
his wings for safety. Thus the chase is
kept up continuously until the 9obbler
becores completely tagged out and can
neither run nor hy. when, of course, he
has to succumb to his pursuers. 1t was
in this way that G. NJ. Roar, John
Peacock and Charley Flood captured
two fine gobblers, weighing respective
" sixteen and eighteen pounds, during
the Christmas holidays. The smaller
one was chased about nine miles and the
other about eight.

of the drowned are exposed, and gaz.d

It would be highly improper for either
to sit down before the other. Hats are
not removed except by special request.
They are not truth-telling people.
They give false information on every
thing, and official reports are frequen ly
tissue of falsehood. 1t seems to be a
national failing, Chinaman will lie
without the least idea that he is doing
. wrong. A Chinaman is not at I'll Of
! Tended when his word is doubted.
[Laughter.l They..will..always resort to
excuses, and generally have good sup
ply on hand. They are not, however.
addicted to thIeving.
In China one sees very little immor-
ality. Marriage at an early age is most
universal, and the high hope OF every
Chinaman is to propagate hisspecies as
numerously as possible. The modesty
of the Chinese women in their dress is
In strong contrast with that of women of
some European or American nationall-
ties at balls or dinner parties.
Frugality is another of their qualities
They live ON rice, fresh and salted fish,
cabbage, pork, ducks and chickens,
Beef is eschewed, owing to their belief
in the transmigration of souls, and the
sacred character of the OK. Rats, cats,
dogs and worms, those staples of the
sensational writer's on Chinese customs,
are rarely or ever eaten, except by some
of the very poorest and most degraded
classes. 1t took me several days in the
the poorest part of Canton to find one
small store where cooked kittens were
on sale. The Chinese do not use butter,
milk, or cheese. They drink weak tea
or hot water, but no cold water.
Tubs of hot tea are often provided
in the streets by the wealthy classes for
all to drink who please. Wine is plenty
and cheap, but intoxication is unknown.
Perhaps this is why the Chinese are not
wanted il San Francisco. A hot bath
costs penny. and laborers can he had
at seventeen cents day and find them
selves. During sixteen years sojourn in
China 1 did not see thr. e drunken men
or one woman.
The curse of China is opium, but it
soothes and does not excite them. 1t
leads those who use it to excess to
moral degradation and thievery, but not
to acts of violence, The evil is increas-
ing as well as the growth of opium.
The status of women is far below that
of men. and female babies are not as
welcome as males. Infanticide Is by no
means SO prevalent or widespread as
some writer's make out but occasionally
female children are drowned as soon as
born, The system of compressing the
feet of women in cloth bandages is as
much in vogue as ever. The iron sloe
is not used at all. Cloth bandges are
rolled round the feet at about the age
of 5 years. This custom is not confined
to the upper classes, bnt is practiced by
even the poorer classes.

more than one persons. l did not ex.
pect my answer to come thus, but in that
and all that followed no more had q
part. The end came speedily.
Il did not steal 1t, came with shrek
from the dark woman as the door op-
ened, and the black man ushered in the
young girl and her motLer.
Then another cry rang out sharply.
''Slsteri''
"Zoel At last"
The young girl drew near me as her
mother went up TO the dark woman and
caught her hands, and handed ne the
key. I drew the box toward me. The
dark woman rushed toward the table,
and raised her hand.
81 call heaven to witness that until
two years ago. when my husband died,
1 did not know that he had stolen the
box said to contain my fathers last
will, and truly thought myself the heir
ess."
She paused moment in pain, clutch
ing her breast.
81 married gambler, as you know,
but you do not know that 1 caught his
terrible fever, and that my only happi-
ness since his death has been found at
the card table.
81 found the box two years ago but
not the key. 1 feared to know its con-
tents, lest it should rob me OF the means
of prolonging my madness. But at last
conscience stung me too deeply, when 1
found out how poor You were who
should have shared our fathers wealth.
and from which my husband drove you
and 1 resolved to know the truth at last
Open the box, sir, as by strange chance
it is your right to do"
L Iobeyed. The curious key slipped
in easily, and the lid fell back.
The dark woman raised folded pa
per from the inside. Slowly she looked
at the young girl. who regarded her with
pitying eyes. then at her sister, who was
weeping.
81 see you both still love me-" she
said, mournfully, '-and that my wild,
checkered life still holds your pity. God
forgive the wrong done you"
She read aloud the paper. 1t shared
a great fortune between the two sisters,
instead of leaving 1t all to one.
1 arose to go. feeling that 1 had no
more to do here, but the young girl
caught my hand and cried out, eagerly:
"We owe it all to youl We must
thank you with more than words. Until
your note came. asking if the lock that
key fitted was of service to us, We did
not know it was on the bunch gave
you. So long We had had the key,
which grandfather gave me before dy-
ing, and no box to. open with it, that We
grew careless of it, and by chance it got
on that bunch"
The sisters were talking and weeping
together, and the one was pleading to
save the other from her terrible infatua-
ton. But, as my story is true, 1 cannot
say she succeeded, for the lonely house
and silent black man and dark, fierce
woman are still the mystery Of the
neighborhood.
But the tide led ON to fortune for both
my Emily and the young girl who
cheered their hearts with the quotation
for my wife and 1 now live in the cot
tage where 1 first met the brave girl,
who so well deserved her good luck.
She came to me often, and again and
again makes me tell the story of my
discovering the key to the mystery.
The dark woman still buns her life
out with the fever of gambling.

See You Later.

A man in New York went into flor
lists the other day and said. My old
friend j. B. is dead. 1 want you to send
a handsome pillow to his house." The
florist took down the order. "And ]
want" said the mourner, ''the letters
s. Y. L. worked into the pillow in buds
sBut," suggested the florist, ''those are
not your friends initials. L know that, .
was the reply, ''but that is what I want
done, "They are net your own initials
either" persisted the florist, thinking
there must be some mistake. His Gus
toner assured him that he knew what
he was about. As the man was leaving
the shop the florist said: ''Those letters
so excite my curiosity; may ask what
they stand for?" Certainly" " said the
customer; ''they stand for See You

Foreign Bodies I'm the Windpipe.

Foreign bodies in any part of the
windpipe are always serious. and may
Re Immediately fatal. The accident com
monty happens from child having some
plaything, such as bean, small marble
or nutshell, in its mouth, and being de
sired to take it out. when either in the
hurry to obey, or possibly from its dis
inclination to do SO being quiekened by
cuff, the foreign body slips into the
windpipe and produces serious mischief.
In the we'll known case of the late Mr..
Brunei, the eminent engineer. whose life
was endangered by an accident of this
kind, it arose from his performing con
juriDg trick with half-sovereign in his
mouth, and the coin slipping into his wind
pipe. When the foreign substance become
fixed in the upper par of the, windpipe or
larynx SO rs to obstruct the breathing,
the patient becomes black in the face and
falls app Irently dead. This sometimes
happens during a meal. from a child or
grown up person happening to cough
while eating, and thus drawing piece
of food into the air-passage. Whatever
the cause, bystander should without
hesitation, thrust his forefnger to the
back of the throat, and endeavor to
hook up the offending body, and this
can often be done. when the patient will
at once Lreathe again. If this method
is not successful, the patient if child
should be held up by the legs and be
smartly thumped between the shoulders
when not improbably the foreign body
will drop on to the floor, and the child
will then begin to respire and cry; but
if respiration is still suspended. cold
water dashed on the chest will probably
rouse it, or, if not, recourse must be
had to artificial respiration. OF course
medical aid will be summoned at once
in any case of serious choking, if posi-
BILE, but the majority of cases do very
well without it. If, however the foreign
body is not dislodged by the efforts of
bystanders. an operation will be neces-
sary to save life, and every moment
will be of importance. Even if the ur-
gent symptoms have passed of, and the
child appears to be restored to health,
yet, if the foreign body has not been
found the advice of surgeon should,
nevertheless, be sought at occe, as it
may still be lodged in the deeper air
passage, where it may cause fatal mis-
chief if not dislolged at an early peri

HAUNTED.

I'm haunted by pair of eyes,
Softly bright, of wondrous size;
With pen or book,
Do what will,
With steady look,
They haunt me still
II seems so strange that those two eyes

Should Ill my heart,
With joys quick glow,
Then make me start
With pain and woe.
An, me those eyes dread their gaze;
They MI my soul with such amaze,
To know they see
What would hide,
And pity me,
Aut do not chide.
They do not chide, those dear, dear eyes,
They do not seem to feel surprise,
But softer glow
On me the while,
As they, too, know
Loves own sweet vile.

To haunt me so,
Both day and night
Where'er they go.

That gleam like lights in Paradise,
