the role of Zeresh's child in the Orato-
rio of Queen Esther, winning for her
self the admiration of the large
audiences who nightly crowded to en-
JOY this entertainment, died in a con-
Vulsion on Saturday evening last, after
enduring for about ten days the most
intense suffering from malarial neural
gla. Seldom does the affection of a
community go out to one so young as
little Nellie, only about six wears old
She was unusually intelligent and
modest, quite pretty and attractive
though rather delicate. Her remains.
as she laid in her coffin, were viewed
by many of the children with whom
she attended school who went to take
last look, seeming not to realize she
was dead and as a schOol-mate lost to
them forever. Her features seemed to
remain perfect though her general ap-
pearance was that of a beautifully
moulded wax figure. She was inter

DANIEL THOMPSON.
Daniel Thompson, after long months
OF suffering, died at his residenc. ut
Clayton on Saturday morning last. in
the 66th year of his age. Mr.. ThomD-

years ago as tenant at Glenfern. now
the residence of w. Polk Cummins.
Where he remained n number of wears
thence he went to the Michael Offiev
farm, now the residence of JosenR
Golds0orough. He was man of great
physical strength, industrious and hard
working. He was good farmer and
iiVed as tenant on several of the best
iarms III this community. The STRONG
attachments of the man are shown in
the tact or his having declined to take

be better than any chance he had here

The Bad Boy of China.

One of the bad little heather boys
who catch small birds on the trees in
the settlement was fined 81, with the
alternative of seven days imprson-
ment, in the Mixed Court this morning.
Of course he never had q dollar in his
possession, and it was only mockery
to give him the option of fine. Mr..
D. G. Jansen, last year, when he was
Curator of the Shanghai Museum, called
the attention of the Municipal Council
to the wholesale destruction of small
birds by these small boys. 1t would
now appear that since the police have
been down on these juvenile fowlers,
the boys have improved upon their
lined banboos, not in any way to make
them more effective in capturing birds,
but to elude detection by the police.
Instead of having simply a bamboo of
from fifteen to twenty feet, with birds
lime on the end of it, the boys have
adopted the fshing-rod patent. A
small piece of bamboo, covered with
bird slime, is fitted into the hollow of
the long bamboo, and they use this rod
in catching the birds on branches Of
trees. But ifa policeman is seen
and they keep as sharp lookout for
policemen as for birds-they withdraw
the small piece Of bamboo covered
with lime and throw it aside; and when
the policeman comes up the boys are
only playing with long piece Of bam-
boo that hasn't got any more points
about it than any other banboo.-7he

A shakspearean Sentence Explained.

Back to CopenhageA. But never can
pen of mine describe the agonies of
getting back. The State railroad of
Denmark was unequal to the task of
transporting 1900 people. and the
passengers had sometimes to wait two
hours before getting a train, although
they ran every fifteen minutes. Yet
all were so patient and accomplishing
that it was a perfect revelation to an
American. Not word or murmur was
heard from even women who stood
with children on their arms. Mean
while an American railroad. in the per-
son of its accredited representatives,
waxed wroth. IF we dared to do any
thing like this" said the European
agent, ''the people would mob us, and
they would be right This comes Of
centuries of endurance! They'd better
import an American railway" and so
on to the end of the chapter. 1t availed
nothing. Completely tagged out we
finally reached Copenhagen. On the
way home l was suddenly aroused
from my lethargy. smelt a smell.
1t was strong smell. One that was
richer than any of the hundred smells
in Cologne. and stronger than any to
be found in Naples. 1t came from a
Danish cheese store. They have very
many cheese stores here, and each
smells worse than the other. 1t brought
back to memory Shakspeare's famous
description of a Copenhagen cheese
factory:
Something. is rotten in the State of Den.

This is the something" referred to,
and the description is quite correct.

France is not prosperous. Allowing
for the million and q half taken away
by Germany, the population has made
no progress at all since 1860. Its num-
bers are smaller now than they were
fifteen years ago, while the load Of
taxation has almost doubled-in mere
charges it has much more than dou-
bled. Equally stationary has been the
export trade. The average of recent
years has indeed been lower than for
the years Immediately succeeding the
war. Imports have, on the other hand,
augmented much, but not because the
country has been internally prosperous.
The increase is the consequence of bad
harvests, and indicates q further de-
nudation of the wealth of the people.

There is something startling in the rapid increase

An Abyssinian Belle.

With the large majority of the native
females in Turkey, the prevailing tint
is yellow Nine out of ten of them are
pigeon-toed and all the blondes have
freckles. They never wither and dry
up in growing old, as do the natives to
the north and west but fatten and
grow oily, developing ridges where
there ought to be hollows, growing at
the edges and settling in height. until
at early womanhood they have no
more shape or figure than a Hubbard
squash.
If were to have my choice of the
whole invoice, / should take an
Abyssinian brunette. They are di-
vinely tall and slender and black as
the ace of spades. The features are
clearly cut and regular, the eyes liquid
and the lips red and full. The hair is
black and waving, but somewhat coarse
in fiber. They dress in pure white.
and the black face and red lips against
the white setting of the burnous give
an effect that is as enchanting as q
picture. San Francisco Chronicle.

The copiousness of the English
