PHILADELPHIA, June "a. j. Drexel
& Co. this morning announced that they
would buy at par the interest coupons of
the consolidated mortgage bonds of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad due in
1911. The total amount Of interest due to-
day is about 100000, and as many
trusts and charitable institutions
hold these bonds default on the part Of the
Reading Railroad Company, would have
caused serious embarrassment. The
board of directors of the company held a
short session to-day, and it is now known
that at this meeting no opposition was
made to the receivership, and application
will be made to the United States Circuit
Court to place the company in the hands
of receivers. 1t is understood that the
receivers have been named as follows /:
Edwin NJ. Lewis, President of the Farm
ers and Mechanics Bank, Stephen A.

Livingston. Montana.

A Boston correspondent with the
Willard party wrote from Livingston,
M. T.: Livingston is less than u year
old; but it lies at the gateway of the
Yellowstone valley at the junction of
two railroads, and intends to be great
city. 1t has lots OF saloons, dance
houses. and gambling places that keep
open all night long, and it has already
two banks and three newspapers. The
regular frontiersman wants three
things-a bank where lie can keep his
earnings, gambling place and saloon
and dance house combined where he can
spend them. and a newspaper in which
he can read the names of those who
were slaughtered the night before.
Livingston. however, is toning down
and becoming respectable. Capital is
a good police force, for it demands pro-
lection and if the law does not give it
the hawaii ding will"

Getting Her Fathers Consent.

81 tell you, sir" indignantly ex-
claimed Colonel Webley, addressing a
Young man who aspired to the hand of
his only child, that shall never give
my consent to union which l know
would be unhappy"
We love each other" replied young
Balchutf.
Love be eternally bowed So J
could have said twenty years ago. I
was devoted to the woman l married
and she was devoted to me-"
You have lived happily with each
other, have you not.
Happily" the colonel contemptu-
ously repeated, II didn't have money
enough to insure happiness. Even in
Arkansas a man must have money. His
wife may be devoted to him. but if he
fails to provide those little delicacies
which make life so enjoyable to a
woman she will speak of this sad lack of
comfort. and. instead of attributing it to
financial inability. will regard it as will
full neglect. At times she will be melt
ing with affection and vow that your
love is all that she cares for in this
world, Dul Wneu some one WHO, Ill
worldly goods, seems no richer than
yourself, rides in buggy with his wife,
she loses sight of the great sustaining
love and bankers after tangible afiec-
tion-a street display of love-

business capacity. can work and earn
money"
No use in prolonging this converse
ton. l have told you that you shall
not marry my daughter. shall keep
close watch, and if l see you here
again | shall act with violence"
well, colonel" said the young man
with firmness, las the gentler resources
have failed, am compelled to adopt the
last resort. Some time ago, before you
suspected that l was attached to your
daughter, you borrowed SO of me-do
not vince, sir, hear me through. You
thought that had forgotten the trans
action, but l haven't. Now, sir. ! in

thought. Finally he said: Say, Bob,

What Becomes or Dead Cinnamon.

'In this country said Mr.. Wong
Foo, editor of The Chinese American,
to a reporter. "the Cinnamon of each
province live by themselves and take
care of their dead There is Chinese
plot at Greenwood and another at
Belleville, n. j. | see chat several
bodies have been removed from the lat
ter place and prepared for shipment to
China. Even in the grave the dead of
each province lie by themselves"
Are all the Cinnamon who die
among barbarians ultimately taken
home?'
Most of them. not quite all, replied
the editor, CHANGING over the proof of a
slashing leader on the spiritual effect of
amputating cues. There are about
5000 Cinnamon in New York. Forty
o. them return to China every month.
and of this number perhaps one-third
come back. If any one going back to
the old country has dead friends here
he takes them along. | do not believe
that more than per cent. of the China
men who die in the United States are
permanently buried here. Fr;endless
Celestials are left here, and no one
cares whether they go to heaven or
not"
Can not one of your race get into
para liSe unless his bones rest in Chi
nese soil?'
NO. sir; Cinnamon believe that the
only road to heaven lies through their
country
But if a good. virtuous Chinaman
who has kept his pigtail and conscience
intact dies in strange land, will he be
excluded from heaven because he is
poor and friendless?"
That's the doctrine" said Mr.. Wong.
According to Christians, no man can
be saved except through a certain be-
lief, no matter how good he is: accord
ing to Cinnamon, there is no salvation
outside of China. One belief is about
as rational as the other"
where you dig up the remains of
your countrymen do you have any SER
vices at the grave?'
We burn a little incense-paper,
may be, and take drink, Just as Amer
leans do on all occasions"
What does the drink signify?"
Its what you would call toast.
We drink peace to the soul of the de-
parted, and a prosperous journey to the
body. We use any liquor that comes
handy. Sometimes tea or whisky, or,
in extreme cases, water"
How ar the bodies prepared for
shipment?"
They are embalmed if they are fresh
enOurh If not the meat is scrapel off
and the bones only are carried away"

Bismarck's Superstitio -.

Many distinguished persons in all
ages have suffered from the influences of
superstition. OF living men, Prince
Bismarck is cited as an example of its
force. He will never commence an
undertaking on Friday, nor sign any
important document on that day. He
hesitated to accept the title of count
because there had been great mortality
among the counts in Pomerania. He is
said to have predicted the month, the
day and even the hour of his own death.
He is very greatly interested in as;rol-
ogy, and has been known to commend
those who get their hair cut at She
wane of the moon, although, as this il
a very common German superstition,
he is scarcely answerable for it.

A Printers working Hand.

A Russian statfstician has amused
himself calculating the distance Travelled
in year by the hand of printer. He
takes the principle that a skillful com
positor, working ten hours day, al
lowing for distribution and correction,
sets up 1900 letters. In counting the
year at 800 working days. he makes
them total 100000 letters. Conse-
quently the distance from the case to
the stick and from the stick to case
being estimated at two feet, makes in
all 1900 900 feet, there being 23,500
feet in a geographical mile, so that the
distance made in a year under these
conditions by printers hand is in the
neighborhood Of 800 miles, or n mile q
day.

Bisrui nnd Griddle- Cakes on the
Double-Quick.

There was novel trial of speed on
the farm of James Lawton. near Car
rollton, Mo-, during the recent harvest.
At minutes and 10 seconds after 4 the
reaper stood at the corner OF the grow
ing wheat. Men were stationed every
few feet along the line of grain ready
to seize an armful as it fell from the
reaper, and to rush with it to the
thrasher close by. The mill was just
sixteen rods distant. At the drop Of
the hat the mules sprang to work, and
in minute and half about peck of
thrashed wheat was in the sack and on
horse that began race for the mill
A minute and seventeen seconds later
the -four was delivered to Mrs. Lawton,
and in 3 minutes and 50 Sec
onds from the starting OF the reaper
the first griddle cake was eaten. In
4 minutes and 80 seconds from
the starting of the reaper pan of bis
cults was passed out to the spectators.

SECONDHAND SCHOOL BOOKS.
Dealers Who sell TO New Genera
ti0ns the Books That Others Huve
Used.
New York Sun.1


The trade in secondhand school
books, through recent industry said
a dealer, has grown into considerable
proportions, and to-day there is not an
important city or village in the country
which has not its dealer in second
hand school books. Here is my last
catalogue and price-liSt, which will give
you some idea of the magnitude OF the
business
The catalogue contained list of
more than thirty thousand text books,
mostly standard works, all listed at
about one-half publishers prices.
where do YOU get your books?' the
reporter asked.
There are many sources. Publish
ers frequently introduce their books
into schools by taking the textbooks
already in use and allowing something
for them. We could formerly get these
books for little advance on paper
dealers prices. but many publishers
now guard against this by having chop
ping blocks and cleavers in their estab-
Gshments and chopping each book in
two crosswise. There is no way
Ill WHICH SUN u pNoh pt lItNlt
salable. The old plan of tearing Off
covers was no safeguard, since we can
recover school books of medium size for
twelve cents per hundred. We get a
great many books. most of which are
unused, from teachers in district
schools, to whom they are mailed by
the publishers. But of course Il ma
jority of the books come from the
pupils themselves, who are glad to part
with them. an old school book having
no value to most of them. Then We
get an immense number from the smaller
dealers in other parts of the coun-
try. Our larger New York houses
have men constantly out for that pur
pose. 1t may be that a secondhand
dealer in Omaha will be the man to
supply ME with the particular text
books l need to complete my stock.
Publishers try to meet our competition
by constantly changing their editions.
But these changes react again. both
teachers and pupils in many schools
being opposed to the changes and adj
herring to the old editions. The only
textbook. which is not much changed
with each new edition is 'Webster's
Spelling-book, of which a million copies
year are published, and which has
been changed in no important respect
since it was first published in 1900.
You can buy one of the latest edition
for cents, but one of the first would
be worth more than So. Five years is
the average life of school book.
After that time the editions have so
much changed that the book is value
less,

Rules for Riding.

In mounting, face the near side of
the horse. The near side is the side
nearest yourself If you stand on the
right side of the horse, which is the
wrong side, when you mount you will
face the crupper. Then everybody will
know your name is Johan Gotlieb Erni-
sigelfo!ger. If you cannot mount from
the ground, lead the horse to the fence,
climb upon it. say whoa two or
three times. and jump over the horses
ears. You will light somewhere on his
neck. and you will have plenty of time
to adjust yourself while the horse is
running away.
Another method of mounting, largely
city, is to balance yourself on one foot
on the fence, and point the other leg at
the horse, in the general direction of
the saddle, saying whoa" all the time.
The horse, after this gesture has been
repeated a few times, backs away, pulls
the alleged rider off the fence, and
walks up and down the lane with him
at q rapid gallop. This gives the rider,
IN about ten minutes, all the exercise
he wants for week. If by some mira
Gle You manage TO get into the saddle,
hold on with both hands and say whoa"
The faster the horse goes the tighter
you must hold on, and the louder you
must "holler.'
If you are from New York or Phila-
delphia, you will shorten the stirrups
until your knees are on level with
your chin. Then as you ride you will
rise to your feet and stand in the atti-
tude of man peering over fence to
look for his dog, and then suddenly
fall in the saddle like a man who has
stepped on a banana peel. This is the
English school 1t is hard on the horse
but is considered very graceful. A man
can not wear false teeth, however, and
ride in this manner.
