Rice in a Hill Country.

The province of Fuh-Kien, China, is
almost an unbroken stretch of hills and
mountains, a charming country to lovers
of wild scenery, but tedious to travel in,
for the only carriages are sedan chairs.
Except near the seaboard, the streams are
swift and rocky, rendering their ascent
by boat very slow. One might think that
in such a country rice could not be staple,
yet on every hill and mountain where
there is a spring and soil enough to work,
there are terraces for rice. They pene-
trate into every nook and corner, so that
a map of the rice courses of Fuh-Kien
would be a map of its water courses. The
people who inhabit the valleys present
great varieties of character and speech.
If you cross q divide which separates two
main branches of the river, you may find
people living within q few hours walk of
a other who can scarcely converse to-
gether; in fact, every village has it's own
local brogue.-Rev. ]. E. Walker in

He Saved Three Cents,

A man, his wife and three children
walked up to one of the drop-a-penny-in-
the-slot-and-ascertain weight
machines in one of the North river ferry
houses. After examining it he told his
three children to step on the platform of
the scale, which they did. He then
dropped a cent into the slot and the hand
moved around to 203. He then told the
largest child to step off, and as soon as he
did the hand moved back to 113, thus by
subtracting 113 from 203 he ascertained
the weight of the child In this manner
he also ascertained the respective weights
of the other two children. His wife and
himself got on the scales and were
weighed in o like me He saved

When the salmon is Matched he is
known as a FRY" then he becomes q
s'parr5S' or 'samlet," or pink" or
branding" The next change makes
him q ''smolt;" then he is transferred to
a "grilse." and finally develops into a
salmon, When leaving salt water he is
called a white" salmon, and when going
back after spawning a "black" one or a
"kalt." The baby salmon is Matched
from 80 to 100 days after the eggs are
laid in burrows in gravelly beds near the
head waters of clear, cold rivers. When
in the FRY" stage he is about one inch
long, with google eyes. When three
months old he becomes well shaped, with
carmine spots on the sides. He is then
so hungry and greedy he will jump at
anything. Many mistake them at this
age for trout, and it is common for mar
kets to offer them for sale as brook trout.
Only about one-half the hatch returns to
the sea, the rest remaining in fresh
water. This has been decided to be be-
cause some develop more rapidly than
others, the late ones going to salt water
in the second season. The arrangement
can be accepted as a wise provision of
nature against determination by whole

Hronek's Bombs of Broken Glass and
Dynamite Described.

CHICAGO, July 17.-Frank Chebowa, who
with John Hronek and Frank Chepak
schemed TO murder Judge Gary, Judge Grin
nell and Inspector Bonield, has made full
and complete confession. Last night Inspec-
tor Bonfeld, accompanied by two of his Bo-
hemian secret service operatives clad in
workingmen's suits, visited the prisoner.
Through an Interpreter Chebowa went into
the whole story from the first meeting with
Hronek and Chepak. The confession was
that Hronek had unfolded his plans for re-
venge and had told of bomb which he
(Hronek) had invented. 1t was small, no
larger than base ball, and was to be loaded
with dynamite and bits of broken glass. 1t
was denied by Chebowa that the plot was to
murder the Judges and Inspector, that is,
he heard of no such definite scheme. They
were talked of as were Captain Setback, and
he understood he was to pay more attention
to the Captain than to anyone else. There
was no concerted plan of action, but it was
agreed that when all preparations were made
ne and two others were to be informed by
Hronek just what they were to do in the way
OF ayenging the death of the martyr About
July 1st he was visited by Hronek, who
brought him two bombs of the broken glass
variety. and two sticks of dynamite, from
which he was to make bombs of gas pipe.
The other two men were also supplied with
bombs and dynamite. He had the stuff in
his house for about a week and then got so
afraid that it would be discovered that he
made away with it by throwing it down a
closet.
This was the substance of the confession.
1t is much more in detail and covers about
thirty closely printed pages. Chebowa has
agreed to give his testimony in open court
where it will corroborate other evidence Sc
cured by the Inspector. Two other men are
still at large, but may be arrested at any
time

THE LAKE SHORE.
Surveys of a: Line of Railroad Long
Desired in New Hampshire.

CONCORD, N. H., July 19.-New Hamp-
shire for the last 10 years has been agitated
on the question of building of the Lake
Shore railroad-a proposed line from Alton
to Laconia-a distance of IS miles 1t is con-
ceded on all sides that the needs of Belknap
county and northern portions of the State
require this road, but up to the present time
opposition lines have prevented its construc-
tion. In 1875 the Boston d Maine corpora
tion asked the Legislature for charter for
this road, proposing to extend their system
from Alton to Laconia, but, after a bitter
fight, the request was refused. 1t is now
admitted that it was unwise legislation.
From that time on, every legislature has
been called upon to act ON this question, Ell
ther directly or indirectly.
After much controversy the last Legisls
ture granted a charter to the Concord rail-
road to build the road, and they gave bonds
to construct during the present year. Engi-
neer Frank Merrill, of Concord, completed
the survey some weeks ago. On Monday
and Tuesday of this week the railroad COM
mlssioners, accompanied by State Attorney
Barnard and influential citizens interested,
went over the line adjusting land damages.
The new road will be Of great advantage to
Belknap county, especially, and northern
part Of the State as well, affording close con-
nectlons with the towns and cities in the
State. The entire coal supply of Northern
New Hampshire is shipped to Portsmouth
by water, thence by rail. With the Lake
Shore road completed, 40 miles will be
saved.
The people of Laconia and Lake Village
are delighted that the road is now assured.

THE BURLINGTON MEN.
Manly Statement of the Members Of
the Grievance Committee.

CHICAGO, July 19.-The following resolu-
tion was adopted by the grievance committee
Of the various railway systems in session here
today:
While we do not withdraw a word of our denun-
clatlon OF the use OF dynamite, we do not want
the public to suppose.that we are condemning the
men under accusation The exposures of the past
lew days show that many of the men under arrest
were detectives acting under the direction OF the
INFAMOUS PinkertOn gang. 1t is easy to see how
such Williams could manufacture evidence against
Innocent men and put up jobs that would make
unsuspecting men say and do things which could
afterwards be tortured into the appearance of
crmnallty The whole business looks at this
time like a policy adopted to inJure and disgrace
the workingmen who are on a strike. We assure
the public that we have no sympathy whatever
with lawlessness but we appeal TO all fair minded
citizens to withhold Judgment against the men un-
der accusation until they have been fairly tried in
eours which knows the law and rules of evidence
and Which Will administer them mpartially.
A member of one of the grievance commit
tees said today that very little was done yes
terday except to receive testimony which has
been gathered relative to the dynamite con-
splracy. The testimony is not all in," said
". Il. Husky, chairman of the Chicago and
Alton committee today, "but we have enough
to show that Bowles. Broderick, Wilson and
Smith are all Pinkerton men. Pinkerton
has had men in our organization for years
and they are getting in their work. We have
also learned that not an ounce of dyna
mitC LIDO DCCn AplOucu Oh Burlington JTdckS.
One result of the meeting will be full and
free investigation of the alleged dynamite
conspiracy. If any of our members are
guilty they will be turned over to the au-
thorities. We shall protect the integrity of
our organization from enemies without and
from foes within"
Much curiosity was expressed in Chicago
today as TO what the defence in the Burling-
ton dynamite case would be. At the opening
of the court Lawyer Donohue, for the
Brotherhood, asked District Attorney Ewing
If the prosecution rested the case. Ewing
nodded his head affirmatively.
"Then we rest our case," said Donahue,
and are prepared to discuss the proofs"
Ewing declined to make any argument,
saying, I'VE simply ask that the defendants
be held on the evidence"
The Times will say tomorrow that it has
been practically determined in case the pres
ent efforts at settlement of the strike fail, to
renew the boycott on the road when the
time of the transportation of the great corn
crop of the West arrives
After an earnest address by each of the
two lawyers for the defence, Commissioner
Hayne held all the prisoners for the grand
jury at bail of $4,000 apiece. The other
prisoners, Broderick, Bauerisen and Cooling,
were not allowed liberty ON bail as all three
were re-arrested before morning on State
warrants on charge of bringing dynamite
into the State contrary to law.
