few weeks Ennis City Courier, ID.
As matter of interest to our country
friends who may not have had the chance
to hear Tank Kee or see his Chinese curl
osities, we mention the fact that he will
give grand matinee in Opera Hall this
Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, sharp.
The price will be the same for young
persons and old-only the nominal
amount of Is cents.
In front of his meat market, Monday
morning, Sheriff Baker accidentally let
his revolver fall upon the sidewalk. The
revolver Immediately sent ball upwards
which cut about half of the right leg of
his pantaloons at point about midway
between his ankle and knee. He had to
buy a new pair of pantaloons. Even this
outlay made the actual cost of the acci-
dent mighty feeble by the side of what il
came very near being.
"A wagon train, loaded with dirt
scrapers and other tools for railroad grad
ing, passed westward through town on
Thursday. The outfit had come from
Webster county, Nebraska, where they
had been at work ON the B. & NJ. They
were on the way to 60 to work on the
contemplated railroad which is to con-
meet Oakley, in St John county, aud Col
by, in Thomas county. The building of
that twenty-mile piece Of road will make
Colby a great supply point. We have
not figured out the effect it will have on
Oakley. We believe the people OF the
latter place are anxious TO get the road,
though.

The Pride of the Poor,

One reason why the working
women who hafstarve on from
three to five dollars a week do not go
out as domestic servants, and so inn
prove their condition, undoubtedly
is that many of them hold domestic
service to be in some mysterious and
incomprehensible way degrading.
Poor creatures who are more in bonds
than ever the Southern negro was,
and who have no liberty save that to
vegetate in the narrowest indulgence.
really think that they are more indie
pendent than the wel-fed, lightly
worked, warmly housed servant,
whose high wages enable her to keep
an account at the savings bank if she
is at all thrifty. The real independ-
ence of the servants is apparently
known to everybody but the work
ing-girls, who in too many cases are
reconciled to their miserable lot by
the fallacious idea that they are more
free than if in service. To dress
well, to eat and drink well, to sleep
warm, to work only eight or nine
hours, to have money in the purse,
to be able to share tie amuse-
ments and enjoyments of life; this is
to be decent, self respecting servant.
Surely if the workingwomen knew
just what and how Iuuch they are
sacrificing by rejecting this higher
and in all ways better life, they
would change their minds.

The Curse of China.

The growers of opium in India are
crease in their exports to China. The
poppy fields of the FloWery King
dom are driving the foreign product
from the market. There is law in
China fOrbidding opium raising, but
it has been a dead letter ever since
England, simply because she was de-
irving an annual income of S6.000,-
600 from the tax on Indian opium,
forced China to reopen her market to
the drug.
Opium growing for several years
past has been rapidly increasing in
China. About One-third of the cul,
tivated land in Yunnan is now de
voted to poppy raising. Travellers
describe the valley of Southwestern
China as white with poppy blossoms.
China is now raising about two-thirds
of all the opium she consumes.
Other foreign opium also is coming
into competition with the Indian
product. The Mozambique Opium
Company is putting $4,000 acres of
land in the lower Zdmbesi valley in
to opium. and the African product is
already selling in the Shanghai mar.
ket.
Mean while the curse of opium
smoking weighs more heavily every
year upon the people of China. One
fifth of the population of Pekin and
Tientsin are Opium smokers. 1t is
said that 5000 of the attaches of the
imperial place are victims of the ter
rible habit in spite of the fact that
the Chinese Government discourages
the practice. There are a number of
native anti-opium societies, which
are doing work in China similar to
that of our Temperance unions here.
The Government has also established
large number of refugees, where
victims of the opium habit may 90

and tonics are administered to cure

The Rise and Fall of the BuStle.

Reading Herald.
The popularity of the hustle as an
article of female adornment is hard
to account for. Some ten years ago
it reached high state of develop
ment, and was then discarded for a
time, but latterly it has come again
in vogue, and this fall has probably
touched high water mark, both in
size and popularity. 1t is a strange
taste that stimulates the physical de.
velopment that the hustle indicates.
and it would, no doubt, be impos-
sible to trace its origin and probably
not one in ten thousand who wear it
care to know so long as it is the
fashion. In looking at a well-bustled
woman one is led to believe that the
intention of the addition to her figure
was to initiate the graceful outlines
of the quail or modified form of the
peacock. 1t looks handsome enough
when the annex is skillfully construc.
ted and gracefully worn, but the I'M
initiated cannot but sympathize with
the wearer in the great responsibility
which she assumes, and in the con-
slant fear that must haunt her that
something may go wrong with this
deliberately built up portion of her
anatomy but such considerations do
not daunt a woman. She gets and
wears what fashion dictates, and
takes all risks. There is movement
on foot, however. which may cause
the downfall of the hustle. Ia Eu.
ropean capitals fashionable dogs are
beginning to be adorned with them
as far as the exigencies of the canine
will permit. This fashion,
of course, will spread, and it is likely
that when it begins to become general
women will resume their natural
share and leave the hustle entirely
to the dogs.
