Modern Mark TapIeys.

! A western gentleman who had been
! spending some time in Nova Scotia and
! beyond carried with him there his dis
! position to keep track of the material
development of the country, and asked
| the surprised natives a great many
questions about the growth of their
towns and such unheard-of considera-
ton. At Halifax he was assured that
the city was growing. Why, certainly
it was growing. Did he see that
group of a dozen houses over thereP
Well, fifteen years ago there wasn't
| a house therei As one accustomed to
see cities arise. reach the apex of their
development, decline and disappear in
less than that time, the gentleman
from the west was not impressed. At
one pleasant little town of 5000 TO 3d.
600 people, the western man found
resident who was very proud of the
towns development.
why" said he, s'this town has
doubled in population since 1 have
lived here"
''How long have you lived heree"
''Only thirty-four years. said the
man.
One day the western man missed
railroad connection away down the
coast somewhere, and ascertained that
by driving a dozen miles or so he could
get train that would take him to
Halifax without waiting twenty-four
hours. After considerable effort he
found an old farmer who, under the
influence of a bewildering financial
inducement, agreed to go and hitch up
his team and carry him over. By-and
bye the native appeared with his
equipage. 1t was a crazy conveyance,
without springs, and with a quantity
of hay thrown into the bottom to sit
upon. The old farmer got on his knees
at the dashboard, and with big stick
prepared to urge on an aged haggard
bony horse. When the western man
was comfortably installed in the hay
the procession moved. They had
scarcely got away from the station
when the road passed into a thick
wood from which there seemed to be
no emerging. The western man be-
gan to engage the native in coversa-
ton, choosing his customary topic.
''How long have you lived in these
parts?" he asked.
''Bless you, since l was born sir,
said the old man.
''Father born here, too?"
''Indeed, he was.
Grandfather, too?'
tsOh no, sill"
The old man began to brighten up.
.'My grandfather came here from
England" said ne, ''and when he came
there was nothing at all but woods in
these parts"
The western man looked around him.
He could see nothing but woods as far
as the eye could reach.
Nothing but woods, eh?" said he.
swell, don't see much beside woods
now"
''Oh well at that time it was regular
forest; the trees were great deal big
ger than they are now"
The western man laughed con-
sumedly.
$50 the only change is that the trees
have grown smaller eh?" said he.
Tnen your country has gone back

Frances New Rifle.

According to AL accounts the Lebel
gun, patronized by the French govern
ment, will carry its bullet more than
mile and half, with more certain
aim than has been possible with
ordinary rifles. The bore of the gun
is very small, and the ball, which is of
steel and sharply pointed at one end,
is said to revolve at speed of 1000
revolutions in a second. In the tests
made by the French government this
bullet has penetrated a brick wall
eight inches thick at distance of 500
yards. 1t will go through any kind of
armor which can be worn by soldiers,
and at a distance of more than mile
will pass through a man as easily as at
ten PAGES. The gun has no recoil
uEder fire, the powder gives out no
smoke whatever. 1t has been said
that the powder used must be type
of smokeless powder already in the
market; but this is denied by the in
ventOr. who says that he uses an en-
tirely new compound. The Lebel gun
is, of course repeater, and the
cartridges are so small that each
soldier carries 220 rounds of ammuni.
ton, as against 116 rounds, formerly
considered the maximum. The French
government is now making thsse guns
at the rate of 500 day at tSaint-Etienne
and is preparing to turn out double
that number.-Ihe Boston Beacon.

Chinese Slave Girls.


It is a popular fallacy to suppose
that Chinese slaves are purchased in
open market in Hong Kong. Such is
not the case. The women are gath
cred not only in Hong Kong but in
Macao, Canton, and other places. The
place of expectation is Hong Kong,
where they are schooled in the climatic
and Typographical features of this city.
When they are able to answer any
question liable to be put to them by
the customs officers on arrival here,
they are taken in charge by women
sent in the guise of missionaries to this
city and coached.
During the voyage the girls are pre-
pared to pass the gauntlet of the Gus.
toms examination. The answers to
questions that tripped the women on
the previous steamer are carefully
taught them, and the latest moves Of
the costoms officers explained.
The customs officers have been in
formed that there are to-day not less
than 500 of these girls in Hong Kong
ready to be thrown upon the San
Francisco market. They are coming,
40 and so on ship. The ring is bold
and daring; its members are unscru-
pulous and wealthy. The profits are so
| large and the chances of loss so slim
that there is not the possibility of
| doubt that ere the winter is over every
one of them will be in the city.
| Evidence is not lacking to show
what becomes of these women after
they have successfully passed the
gauntlet of the courts and secured 8
landing.
Besides the demand on the Pacific
slope, they 90 to fill orders from the
larger Eastern cities, Chicago, st.
Louis, Boston, New York, and even
Cincinnati and lesser cities.
Only few days ago three of the
newly imported girls were sold to
slave dealer in San Jose for $500.
The price obtained for young women
is said to be fpOm $500 to 5000, and
the trade is brisk and increasing as
the demand from the interior grows.
Some of these poor creatures are for
tunate enough to find husbands among
the 40, 900 Cinnamon in the city, there
being less than 1000 Chinese women
here, but this is rare good luck seldom
met.
The profits of this slave traffic are
immense. Parents in China can be
induced to sell their daughters for 500
OF less: The cost of passage, ticket
by the guaranty letter through route,
and attorneys fees are not much ii
any over 5000 each, which leaves the
slave dealers an average net profit OF
81 900 head. As about 800 of these
women have been landed within the
past three months, the two companies
above mentioned have not made less
than $3.50, 900 by their traffic in human
hesh.-St Louis Chronicle.

The Girl Love Best.

Ray is sweet as hawthorn bloom,
Fresh as the eglantine;
And when we meet a wish complete
feel To call her mine.
But who so gathers the hawthorn flower,
May feel the thorn i'll the selfsame hour.
And SO the sting of a thorn feel
When with the sprightly Ray;
And though admire, ] cannot desire
Ever by her to stay;
For the words she utters, so sharp and keen,
Would kill the love in my heart, ween
Kate is grand as Juno of old;
Slender and fair and tall;
With a classic face and queenly grace,
Her beauty Surpasses all;
And it holds my heart with a witching power
love her just as love a flower.
Grace is calm and grave as a saint,
And never was a saint more fair;
And never had a queen a crown, i ween,
As bright as her shining hair.
A blessing to all will she ever be;
love her for sincerity.
Sadie is like gipsy maid,
Wild and free as a bird,
With a step as feet and song as sweet
As ever woodland heard.
And her love for her face so bright,
And her happy heart so pure and light.
But Rosalie, know not why,
love her the best of all;
She is not witty, nor very pretty,
She is not queenly nor tall;
But she has two eyes as soft and blue
As her heart is tender and kind and true.
The dear little Rose has mind of her own
A mind and temper, too;
And whatever she be, she is sweet to me,
And know that her heart is true;
] have given her the love of my life,
And Rosalie will be my wife.

In q QuandarY.

Three or four days ago a man living
near Vincennes, Ind, came to Detroit
in search of his runaway wife. He was
quite serene over his loss, saying he
didn't want to make the police any
particular trouble about it, but
if they could locate her as well as not
he would reciprocate the favor when
ever it came handy. One of the de-
tectiyes located the faithless spouse in
q clearinghouse on Lafayette street,
and the husband started up there with
him. They were quite halfway when
he suddenly halted and said:
"Why, she ran away with mani!
s'Of course"
''And he's here with her?"
Certainly. Both are in the house.
"Well! well! just wait and let me
think it over little. How shall act in
the caseP Is it my duty to shake
hands with him and ask him why
he done it, or jump on his collar as
soon as the door is open? What is the
usual way of acting under the circum-
stances, ?"-Detroit Free Press.

A Chinese Rain-Maker.

A Chinese newspaper says: Before
the rain was obtained in the Pao-ting
prefecture the drought was severely
felt by the peasants, who, having
been unsuccessful in all their efforts
to obtain relief, engaged a Taoist
priest, who erected in the open street
a wooden stage covered around with
matsheds. Incense-sticks were kept
burning in the front, and coffin was
prepared with four gentry or elders OF
the people standing one at each corner
of the coffin, while the priest prostrated
himself, murmuring and burning some
papers. After that the priest laid
himself in the coffin. Should the rain
still fail to appear these performances
were to be repeated three times, after
which it was believed that the rain
would certainly come. One difficulty
was that the priest might die in the
course of three years from causes
known to the gods i. e.. through the
vengeance of the godsl, and conse-
quently he often demanded very
liberal remuneration for his services.

Chemical Confusion.

"What is the matter, DR.. Otis?"
Il am mad; mad at chemistry and
the drug business. Look here, oil of
vitriol is no oil, neither are oils of tur-
pentine and kerosene. Copperas is
an iron compound and contains no
copper. Salts of lemon is the extreme
ly poisonous oxalic acid. Carbolic
acid is not an acid, but an alcohol.
Cobalt contains none of that metal,
but arsenic. Soda water has no trace
of soda, nor has sulphuric acid of sui
phur. Sugar of lead has no sugar,
cream of tartar has nothing of cream,
nor milk of lime any milk. Oxygen
means the acid-maker, but hydrogen
is the essential element of all acids,
and may contain no oxygen. German
silver has no silver, and black lead no
lead. Mosaic gold is only sulphide
of tin. These are only some of the
mistakes of nomenclature in our busi-
ness. - Cincinnati Telegram.

The "Buck" and the Cabby.

At Bow street something was fur
ther heard of the s'buck." This per-
son. as we learned from a case heard a
week or two ago, is the sham fare
whom a cabby drives past the police
in order to get up to the theatre doors
out of his proper turn, and so increase
his chance OF securing Legitimate
fare. ~Inquiring into the habits OF the
.'buck," the police find that when not
on duty in the interior of the cab he is
given to riding on the spring. This is
in itself breach of cab regulations,
and it is apparently by watching for
this offense that the police now pro.
pose to make an effective raid upon the
'.bueks. rLoadon Qalls NsIRa
