The Highbinder.

The highbinders are branch of the
Triad society of China. This society is
composed of the remnants of the Tai
Ping or long-haired rebellion, which
was completely conquered some thirty
years ago. The Triad society is on the
plan of the nihilists in Russia Its oath
is strong, and death is the punishment
for revealing the secrets. On entering a
man renounces the ties of family, so far
as they will conflict with his duty to the
society. In China, death is the punish
ment for belonging TO it, but in this
country the membership is openly avow-
ed. The six prisoners are not Triad
men-the self-confessed murderer of
Quong Sing is, and so is Baptista-and
they are backed by the Triad men in
the prosecution, as the non-secret So
ciety men would not submit to black
mail on the part of the Triad men
hence the hatred existing between the
two sections. The object of the society
in China is to raise money to collect
troops and they hope some time to over
throw the present ruling dynasty, which
is Manchoo and not Chinese. The So
ciety in this country originally had the
same object and purpose, but after few
unscrupulous men had been initiated
they perceived the opportunity of using
it as strong means of blackmailing all
who do not belong to it, and now the
branch of it which is in America has
become an engine to make non-mem-
bers pay tribute-75 cents a week is the
sum they have tried to extort from the
hard-working laundrymen in this city.
As the Cinnamon have not paid it there
is little enmity between the two fac
tions.-St. Louis Republican.

A Novel Suggestion.

Among the many pretty and con-
venient accessories and comforts that
have been invented for women, says the
Philadelphia NeWs, it is remarkable that
some genius has not introduced a whistle
to be used by the fair sex as a signal to
street-car drivers or conductors, who
never see woman unless she stands
right under the horses nose. 1t is real
ly very amusing to witness her frantic
endeavors to attract the attention of
these men as she filings her arms, UNI
brella, handkerchief or bundle heaven
ward, and to watch the utter disgust
that comes over her face as he passes
her by. These men seem to ignore the
fact that the car is for her accommoda-
ton at all, and go on as if none were
permitted to enter but those who run
after it and jump on without putting
them to the Inconvenience of stopping.
Let us have ladies' car whistle, pref
ty little one of ivory or silver that can
be sold for small sum, and SO give the
woman a chance Gold ones would be
handsome attached to the watch chain,
and just the thing for those who could
afford them.

CALENDARON YOUR FINGERS.

This is the way that an old timer
manages to keep the days of the
week that months open with. 1t will
be found correct and interesting to
people who have memory for such
things:
"What day of the week did Janu-
ary come in on?" asked Grandpa
Martin. eff you can tell that, can
tell you the day that any month will
come in on, by help of little lingo
l learned from my father when l was
boy. Monday, did you say?' and
grandpa held up his hands prepara-
tory to counting his fingers. Now,
April is the month, let us see: 'At
Dover dwelt George Brown, Esq,
good Christopher French and David
Frier.' We 60 by the first letters
of these words-1, 2, 3, AT Dow
er dwelt George-G is the letter we
want, and it is the seventh in the al
phabet. January comes in on Mon
day you say. Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sat
urday, Sunday-seven; April comes
in on Sunday. Take February-sec-
ond month of Dover. ID is the let
ter, and fourth In the alphabet. Take
Monday again as the starting point
Monday, one; Tuesday, two;
Wednesday, three Thursday, four;
February comes in on Thursday.
If you make no mistake in using
the rule, it will give you the answer
every time. Leap year requires the
addition of one day for the last ten
months, to allow for the 29th of Feb
ruary.

Mabel's Mission.

Far down in the shady old garden,
Where shadows are gathered to die,
On the myrtle, down -trodden. knelt Mabel,
With face lifted up to the sky.
The bird in the maple was quiet,
Looking down on the fair little maid,
And listened in decorous silence,
While fervently thus Mabel prayed:
''More work for these too idle fingers,
More work for this body and brain,
Some task for this God-given spirit,
Some goal to be entered through pain:
Far out on the wide burning desert,
Away over mountain and sea:
Oh, show me, Lord, truly my mission,
Some path that will lead me to Thee"
The bird heard the prayer, full of wonder;
He knew of the sorrows and cares
That clustered the home shadows under,
Unheeded and trifing affairs,
No shine on the commonplace duty,
To tell it was known up above;
No sign of santship in waiting
For Patience and hard-tested Love;
Two mother hands nerveless and weary,
Unable their burdens to bear,
As they waver and tremble and falter
Beneath the high pressure of care;
While Freddy, poor pain smitten darling,
Breathes gently pitiful moan,
And waits in the gathering shadow
The while, in his suffering alone.
And grandfather's queer childish fancies,
Unmatched, lead to fearful mishap;
Grandmother finds real discomfort
In crumples in kerchiief and cap;
Poor Jack, fighting terrible fractions,
The school-boy's implacable foe,
Calls loudly for Mabel. She listens,
And straightway her temples lie low.
Oh, see at your feet, little Mabel,
Yon path winding up to yon door!
Oh seek in the isles of the ocean
For God given duties no more.
In the quiet home lighted horizon
You bound with the sound of hymn;
God garners the sheaf of the present,
And duties beyond it are dim.

Two hundred years and more ago the
beds in England were bags filled with
straw or leaves, but not upholstered or
squared with modern neatness. The
bag could be opened and the litter re-.
made daily. There were few bedrooms
in the houses of ancient England. The
master and mistress of the Anglo-Saxon
house had a chamber or shed built
against the wall that inclosed the man.

guests slept in the great hall, which was
the only noticeable room in the house,
on tables or benches. Wooden cOver-lids
were provided for warmth; poles or
hooks on which they could hang their
clothes projected from the wall; perches
were provided for their hawks. At

Once over the bar at it's entrance

it's way with deep current, in places
of forty feet, far up through the'for-
ests of the best hard pine in the state.
1t is the Penobscot of Florida. 1t
has some good land upon it where
plantations have heretofore been
made but after while generally
abandoned. The mosquitoes and ma
laria guard in the main entrance
against others than lumbermen, an
glers and intrusive tourists. This
dark river has, too, its romance as
being the place which gave rise to
melody which like "Sweet Home,"
the affections of the heart will never
let 60. For it was here that French
family in the time of Louis XIV.
came over and settled upon the Su-
vance and made plantation. After
a while the father and mother and all
died save one daughter, who, dis
heartened and desolate, returned to
France and there wrote, adopting in
part the negro dialect. which she had
been familiar with on the plantation
in her girlhood, a feeling tribute to
the ''Old folks at home" in their
graves in a far off country.
