Imperial Chinese Tombs.

Among the mountains east OF Peking
are the imperial tombs. The Great
Wall forms the northern boundry OF an
inclosure five miles square. Besides
this, a wide tract outside the boupdry
wall belongs 10 the mausolea. and La
forbidden ground. wherein man is not
permitted to build dwellings or to bury
the dead. Shun-ohih Q64& 62) and
four of his successors sleep here, with
the heavens, the h lis and the streams
around them. The earlier Manchu
princes are buried at Movkden. The
tombs are all alike in essential features.
built on the southern slope, with q
stream in front. In approaching the
tomb the explorer passes first two lofty
stone pillars, that serve as q gate way to
figures of men and animals la pairs,
facing one another on opposite sides.
An ornamental archwsy opens upon q
curved marble bridge of several arches,
with finely carved balustrade. After
crossing the stream the traveller passes
guard-houses and the sacrlhcial hall or
the right and left, and comes upon a
small building, in the centre of which
stands, supported upon the back of q
huge marble tortoise. the memorial
tablet, on which is written an account
of the deeds Of the departed. Halls oi
entertainment flank this building; and
farther on in direct line are the chapel
of the dead, the bright pavilion. and,
last of all, the earth palace or tumulus,
within which the coff1u lies. When
the body is laid in this earth palace the
door is shut. Behind the door, inside.
is round hole IN the stone floor, and
when the door is shut q large ball o.
stone follows 1t. and, falling into thu
hole, preven the stone door ever open
ing again. The emperor is then SAID
ito be at peace forevermore."

Bric-a-8rac.

A marshal Of the United States,
whose bailiwick eomprehends an impor-
tant southern State, tells story Of =
seizure recently made und-r the revenue
lawst that embraced four kegs et whiSkey
and one keg of water. Wnen the usual
notice was published for the owners Of
the property to come forward and de-
fend the libel proceedings, there was
prompt response, so far as the whiskey
was concerned. but the unfortunate
runlet of aqua pura could find no one
to put in an appearance on its behalf.
The sp rits were rescued from the
clutches o. the law, and while the judge
vas filing out the order to restore 1t TO
its owners, the marshal spoke up and
said:
This settles the whiskey case all
right, YOUR honor, but what am l 70 DO
with this keg of water?n
'.Sell it." responded the judge briefly
as he hInded over the authority to dis
pose of this also.
But, Judge, who in the thunder do
you suppose L can find III the Safe OF
- to bid on keg of water?"
That's all right" said the judge.
ssYou go ahead, do your duty, and put
the property up atauction. You'll lind
bidders. Some one of these red-noSed
old citizens here will buy it as Curl
osity. 1t will be regarded by them as
a piece Of bric-a-brac, to be placed in
prominent place in their parlOrs. D"

Curiosity is frequently expressed in
regard to the processes and machinery
by which matches are produced. The
article is SO common, so necessary, and
withal, so multitudinous, that the in
quiry how it is made, is one which nat
urally suggests itself. The methods of
Utica, n. Y. establishment of this
kind are thus described:
Given the machinery, and the prob
lem of matchmaking is easily solved.
With the aid of the apparatue which
the Utica company has, two or three
men can turn out from 500 to 600 gross
Of sulphur matches per day. After the
mac inery has been set In motion, the
first step is to place block in the splint
machine. With each movement of the
knife twenty five splints are cut, and at
the same time stuck between two Stats
in the belt. They are then carried by
the movement of the belt through the
separator, and thence over heated pipe
to dry the timber sufficiently to allow
the dipping mixture TO penetrate.
About fifty feet from the starting point
the belt passes under couple OF rollers
which press it just enough to bring the
ends of the splints in contact with the
melted sulphur, which is contained in a
pan or vat and kept in liquid state by
the heat from small furnace sunk in
the floor underneath. A little turther
OF the belt is again depressed, and the
splints are drawn through a black mix
ture, which gives them the finishing
coat. From this point the matches
they have by this time obtained that
dignity pass down the hall, still travel
ing as hitherto, at the height of about
foot and half from the floor. At a
distance of 200 feet from the starting
point, the belt takes an upward turn,
and after ascending four or five feet,
the matches begin their return trip.
Passing with the belt over the top ol
the iron framework, at an elevation oil
about seven feet, they come beck ovei
the splint machine, enter the room
where the other machine is located, and
are there knocked out, the heads al
pointing in the same direction. As they
fall they are caught by leather bel
which moves slowly and carries then
to table where they are taken of by q
boy, placed in trays made for the pur
pose, and taken to the packing room
The belt completes circuit once II
thirty minutes, and during the interva
several thousand matches are finished
The match produced is superior il
quality, and will light readily on beins
drawn across the window glass. Thi
is claimed to be a crucial test, and in
ferior ones cannot be ignited in thii
manner. On arriving in the packing
room, the matches are first placed Il
small paper boxes, 100 in each box
The small packages are then placed Il
pasteboard boxes containing one SIX
| teenth of one. eighth gross.

Beauty OF the Highland Girl.

The Scotch are a wiry and hard
enduring rather than q muscularly
massive race, though here and there
the Scandin ,vian physique is found &c
prevail. In the island of Lewis 1t Is
odd to note how in the north. where
the names of the villages and noun
tains have Morse terminations (boaf
and bhaD, the population is Of the
stalwart, tall, fair r-hsired, scandinavian
type, while the smaller black-haired or
red haired Celt occupies the sou 'heru
half of the island. in which the names
of the streams and mountains and lakes
are exclusively Celtic. The hand
soonest man 1 have ever seen was a
boatman on the west OF Skye. the calm
and serious dignity of whose face
seemed more suggestive OF Leonard da
Vmci than of herring fishing, and the
handsomest woman / have ever seen
was a young married lady. who some
years ago happened to be travelling in
Olansman, and whose gently modulated
English in heated an Inverness origin.
When q Highland gill, even Of the
peasant class. is pretty (aud the phe-
nemenon is not q very rare occurrence)
the prettiness ia of refined and intel
lectual type, the forehead high, the
eyes clear, full and contemplativs, the
mouth fne, and the expression of the
face gentle yet firm. Wordsworth never
forgot the beauty Of the Highland girl
he saw at Inversnaid. Indeed, it is
said he had to recur to that fount of
inspiration when he wished 10 pay q
poetical compliment to his wife. For
the rest, the way in which an educate d
Highland young lady speakes English
is one OF the most delightful things in
the world, though no doubt she would
be very much surprised if she were
tol she had any accent at all.

French influence on the Niger.

The Eastern Soudan has its false
prophet. but he has been preceded by
one in the Western Soudan. The chief
Ell Hadj Omar, leader of the Toncon-
leurs, branch Of the great Foulah ma.
ton, subdued the various tribes Of Ma
linkes and Bambarras who had pre-
viously held the region, around and be-
tween the Upper Senegal and the Upper
Niger and founded the sultanate OF
Segu. At his death, the empire was
divided among his sons, Of whom All
madou rules at Segu. Some OF TIE
Barbarras have since become, to great
extent, independent. At this opportune
moment, the French appeared upon the
scene. An expedition was sent from
the French possessions on the Senegal
to the Upper Niger, forts were erected,
and a railroad Is in couse OF construc-
tion. The village at which French in
fiuence upon the Niger is now concen-
traued is Bammoko. and Is not far from
a series of rocks and rapids which d.
vide the navigation Of the river into an
upper and lower portion. The French,
adhering to their usual policy-exempli-
fed in their mode Of warfare against
the American colonists in the last CEN
tury, as well as by their present action
in Tonquin and in Madagascar-pro-
claim themselves the friends Of the op-
pressed Pagan negroes. whose lands
have been and are now laid waste by
the Mussulman cavaliers. The action
taken by the French has already made
itself felt, and the revolt against the
tyranny of the Islamites has become
stronger. The Tonconleur Empire will
probably end almost as rapidly as it
commenced; yet the creed it processes
T, is everywhere on the increase In the
north of Africa, and the Foulahs will
even though French rule be imposed
upon them, probably remain the domi-
nant race in the Western Soudan. So
sreat has been the depopulation of the
region by the razzlas of the Mohammo-
dan cavalry, that 1t is estimated that
not more than 100, 900 souls are now in
a position to make use Of the railway.
The couse Of a few years will, however,
alter all this, and the ultimate effect Of
the move. unless balanced by a CORE.
lsponding move inland from Sierra
Leone on the part Of the English, will
be to give the French the control Of the
entire navigation Of the Niger and tt
render France paramount In Western
Africa.

Though the remarkable sunsets which
continued through the last four mouths
of 1888 have not yet entirely ceased,
scientists seem unable to agree upon
any explanation of the phenomenon.
Mr.. Proctor shows that the "Rreen sun"
seen in the tropics and the red suu'
seen in the higher lstitudes must be
due to the same cause, and that the
matter in the atmosphere which pro-
duced the strange effect could not be
at lower level than sixteen N les. He
thinks we must "e1culpate Krako.os
from all part or share" in causing them,
as volcanic ashes could not be carried
to the required attitude aud over so vast
geographical areas, or remain so long
suspended, as to account for the dis.
plays. The explanation that they are
due to unusually high strata OF moist
air, with accompanying multitudes Of
ice particles, he thinks negattved by
the absence OF extraordinary meteoro-
logioa Il phenomena. But he advances
the hypothesis OF "a cloud Of meteor:c
dust encountered by the earth and re-
oeived into the upper region OF the air.
and thence penetrating slowly to the
earth's surface.
The most plausible theory seems TO
be thst which accounts for the phe-
Romenon by supposipg an excess OF
suspended watery matter in some shape.
When seen in India the spectroscope
in the able hands OF Professor Michie
Smith, of the Madras Observatory,
showed that "the intervening medium
through which the sunlight was strug-
Cling was an extra damp instead o.
dry" But it is important to note that
if either of the three theories proposed
by different scientists is correct we
have a right to expect an extraordinary
heavy precipitation of rain aud snow
over the northern hemisphere this
winter. All known volcanic and me-
teoric dust gravitstes toward the earth,
but the condensed vapor of the upper
atmosphere which clIngs to the float
ing particles must fall with them to
levels where 1t encounters the intense
cold of winter anti-cyclones, and is
thus converted into rain, snow or ''soft
hail." Unless all the above named
theories of the cause of the strange sky
glows are at q fault. it would seem
highly probable that this most re-
markable phenemenon indi Gates wet
winter, which, however dIssgreesble.
may be harbinger of better seasons
for the agricultural interests than were
those of 1888.

yandals In Wheeling.

The most sensational attempt at grave
made recently near Wheeling, Va. The
would. be despoilers Of the grave are
unknown, and no cine to their identity
has been obtained, but their work shows
them to be experts. and only the extra
ordlnsry security of the vault prevented
the success of their efforts.
The scheme was . deep-laid one, be-
ing no less reckless and sacrilegious a
design than the stealing OF the remains
of the Right Rev. Bishop R. .Whelau,
late Catholic bishop of the diocese Of
Wheeling, whose bones rest in q vault
beneath the floor OF the Whelan memo
rial chapel at Mount Calvary cemetery,
in the eastern suburbs of the city.
Bishop Whelen died in 1874, aud was
buried July 7 of that year in a secure
brick vault, the chapel afterward being
erected over the spot. The only object
imaginable to induce an attempt to steal
the body of the bishop is TO secure the
large reward that would probably be
offered for the rrturn OF the remains in
the event OF the theft beng successfully
accomplished. The temptation which
the .eclusiou of the cemetery and the
distinction of the deceased prelate unite
to throw in the way in the way OF
ehouls had been taken into considers
ton, and the vault had been surrounded
with unusual safeguards against thieves.
The door of the chapel. though strongly
bolted and locked, was forced open with
the aid of a jimmy. This heavy floor OF
the room was removed. The earth was
then Ding out from one side OF the vault,
and a portion of the brick and stone
work was torn away. The inscribed
plate on top of the vault was also
loosened from its fastenings.
It is supposed from the condition in
which everything ABOUT the chapel and
vanlt was found on Friday morning that
the wouid-be robbers worked all nigh.
to accomplish their purpose, and finding
that they would be unable to finish then
work before dag break, left the cemetery
with the intention Of paying q seconc
visit. The e1cavated dIrt, the bricks
the flooring, and the oilc'oth were re-
| pls ed as carefully as possible and the
, chapel door closed.
| At this time of the year the chapel 1
seldom entered by any one, and the dis
covery was only made by mere chance

SOFTEN THE BLOW.

Sometimes we must strike,
And il may be with might,
For TO conquer the vrots
And 10 uphold the hight;
But if one human heart,
Though it b ats in =. foe,
Is IN danger of harm
Let us soften the bowl
Let us grudge not the time
That we give 10 another
When we pluck out the thorn
That has wounded a brother,
When we pour in the balm
That NAV sweeten his woe
He is under the rod,
Let US soften tie blow
Have we sad news 10 bear
To the delicate wife,
Better tidings Of one
Long the life OF her life?
Must the children be told,
Who no sorrow yet know,
That their home is deSpoiled'
Let US soften the blow
To be gentle 10 all
is a lesson well learned
When we take in the ones
Who our anger have earned,
For the tongue shall b. praised
That speaks comfort below,
And the hand shall be blessed
That can soften the blow.
