The Chinan1an's "PreCiOus
Things"

In China the "four most precious
things" are the paper-plant, ink and its
saucer, and the brush.
The hornet, whose sharp sting is the
terror of children is the recognized pioneer
of paper-makers. Its cellular nest, on
trees and rocks, is built of material which
resembles the most delicate tisSue-paper.
Eighteen hundred years ago, the Chinese.
acting upon the wasp's suggestion, made
paper from fbrous matter reduced to pulp
Now, each province makes its own pecu-
liar variety from the innermost bark OF
different trees. The young bamboo, which
grows six or eight inches in a single night,
is whitened, reduced to a pulp in mortar,
and sized with alum. From the pulp
sheets of paper are made in mold by
hand. The celebrated Chinese rice paper,
that so resembles wooden and silk fabrics,
and on which are painted quaint birds and
flowers, is manufactured from compressed
pith, which is first cut spiral, by a keen
knife, into thin slices, six inches wide and
twice as long. Immense quantities Of pa
per are used by the Chinese for great va
riety of purposes. Funeral papers Or pa
per limitations of earthly things which they
desire to be8tow upon departed friends, are
burned over their graves. They use pa
per window frames, paper sliding doors,
and visiting cards a yard long. 1t is re-
lated that when distinguished representa-
tive of the British Government once WIS.,
tied Pekin, several servants brought him
a huge roll, which when spread out over
the large floor, proved to be the visiting
card of the Chinese Emperor.

The Drummer Didn't Scare.

On the train from Cincinnati to Chatta-
nOOga the talk of the mob of six or eight
in the smoking car ran to train robbery.
The subject was canYassed from every
standpoint, and all but one agreed that a
passenger car could be robbed without
danger to the robbers. This chap was
selling drugs for a Baltimore house, and
he announced his readiness to lay down
his life whenever an attempt was made to
deprive him of his cash. 1t was gener-
ally believed that his courage was all talk,
and by and by when he fell asleep we put
up job on him.
A giant Of a chap from Dayton, O., was
selected to play rObber. He was about
the ugliest-loOking white man anybody
had ever set eyes on, and he borrowed
two revolvers, removed the cartridges,
and waited for the right moment. As the
train stopped at a little station the big
fellow opened and slammed the door, and
cried out:

and the third and fourth went through the
windows. The ''robber'' was whittier than

entered long avenue, the gate of which
lay ready opened for it; and about an hour
and quarter after leaving Abermaw it
drew up before the Joneses' house, near
Harlech.
With a sigh of relief Miss Marrabl
threw open the door and sprang out. to
find herself in the presence OF half a
dozen people who were congregated upon
the steps.
"Ouickv' she cried; "don't ask ques-
tons. He is i'll; he is dying. Take him
Out!"
The Joneses, who had not been pre-
pared for the apparitiOn of a middle-aged
spinster. and who were expecting Mr..
JellicOe and Miss Allerton, were some
what aStOnished.
'Who is inside = asked Mr.. Tom Jones,
the son and heir of thefamily.
"Ohl Mr.. JellicOel Be quick For mer-
cy's sake, be Quick."
"You don't mean iti'' cried Tom, rush.
ing to the carnage to succOr his friend.
But an instant later he burst into yio-
lent fit of laughter. ''Why. it's not Jelli-
coe at all.' he said. '.Its Griffiths. the

Miss Marrable is, as L have already said,
a woman without weakness. On hearing
away. When, thanks to the kind atten-
ti0ns of the female members Of the
Joneses' family. she revived, she indig
nantly charged those estimable people
with having deliberately plotted her dis
cOmfiture, and she insisted ON at once re-
turning to Abermaw; but the carriage
land Griffiths had gone; so Mr.. Jones,
Senior, who grasped the situation, vOlun-
teered to drive Miss MaTrable back to the
Cors-y-Ged Hotel; and by II O'Clock, or
shortly afterward, she was again in her
own room. 1t was then that she learned
of the desertion of Lucy and Amy. /
need not describe how she received the
news. and how she declared that her
abandoned nieces should never as ain
behold her face; nor that, although she is
a woman without weaknesses, she passed
the greater part of the remainder of the
night in violent Mysteries. She tele-
graphed next day to Mr.. Larkspur and
Mr.. Allerton, and repairing to the Red
Cow, furiOusly denounced Sir Thomas
JellicOe as the basest and most heartless
of men.
Three weeks afterward, however. the
edge Of her anger had worn of. Lucy
and Amy were married. 1t was foolish,
but. perhaps, it was not wholly ineXcu-
sable; and thus reasoning, Miss Maria
bic, in the goodness of her heart, deter
mined to gradually receive them back into
her favor. But she has never wholly
forgiven Lucy for suggesting the substi-
tuition of the b1lliard-marker for Vivian |
JellicOe.
''My dear" she says, when she retells |
the story Of her drive to Harlech, ''the |
wretche1 man was perfectly saturated !

what he might not have done if l hadn't |

CHAPTER II

Miss Marrable, who. when she received
this love letter, was sitting in her bed
room, was thunderstruck. At first she
thought of going to Amy and charging
her with baseness and ingratitude; but,
after some reflection, she decided to let
matters, for the time at least, take their
course, and to confound the schemes of
the rash couple by means of grand stroke
at the final moment. She went, however,
at once to Lucy, in whom, as | have said,
she had great confidence, and told her all.
Chow foolish of her." said Lucy.
eyes, my dear! how foolish and how
wickedY' assented Miss Marrable. 81 feel
it my duty to prevent the carrying out Of
this mad plan, and also to make Amy suf-
fer for her folly. l shall, therefore, send
her this letter and allow the hare-brained
pair to mature their schemes. And what,
Lucy dear. do you think that / propose to
do? You will never guess. Listenl Amy
and / are Of much the same height. 1
shall personate her by concealing-
my face, and drive away with this vile
young man; and then, when he believes
that he has left me far behind, | shall
overwhelm him with shame and cOnfu-
SION"
Lucy could not help laughing. "That
would really be good fun, aunt" she said.
eyes, send the letter to Amy, and by all
means let matters take their course for
the present"
Miss Marrable did send the letter; and
Amy duly received it, unsuspectingly; but
five minutes later Lucy revealed the whole
plot to her and threw her into the deepest
trepidation.
Here, however, Lucy's superior GOODNESS
came in most usefully. "You need not
despair said the elder cousin. eff aunt
thinks Of having fun with you and Mr..
Jellicoe, why not turn the tables and have
fun with her? You must find some other
way of carrying on your correspondence;
but at the same time answer this letter by
the old medium. Your answer will, of
course, fall into aunt's hands. You must
mislead her, and then"
But" objected Amy, Show am make
matters turn out properlyp
"Listen~ said Lucy. "Aunt proposes
to persOnate you. Very well. Put off the
time of your elopement, say, for half an
hourl and, meantime, Mr.. Jellicoe must
find some one to personate him. My idea
is for aunt to elope with the billiard
marker, and so give you time to get away.
Do you seer"
Amy could not at first grasp the signiti-
canoe Of this bold proposition, but when
she succeeded in doing so she was de-
lighted with it.
II shall tell Mr.. Rhodes" said Lucy,
when she had sufficiently explained the
plan; ''for l know that he will gladly help
you; and Mr.. Jellicoe can talk 1t all over
