Chinese Girl. I'm America.

/ found that in San Francisco there
are women and young girls who are
slaves. They are purchased in China
by men who make a specially of this
trade and are shipped to Frisco to other
Chinese, who purchase them there.
These women are compelled to lead n
life OF shame as slaves, and they have
no protection whatever from the police
unless they voluntarily make a com
plant. In that case, of course, the po-
lice free them, and give them the pro-
lection they demand, but the authori-
ties never interfere in these cases unless
they have been appealed to for help.
On this question | gathered some statis-
tics and they may be of interest: These
ONE and girls, / am told, are kid
mapped i'll China, imported to this coun-
try, sold in the secret slave markets Of
San Francisco and doomed to q slavery
which passes description. The girls are
sold and employed as bond servants i'll
the Chinese families. There are 1900
women and girls, of whom probably 100
are bOund-footed women, and are the
wives Of merchants and rich men. From
600 to 700 are married according to the
Chinese custom and the others are mem
hers OF the harems, if | could so call
them, of the rich Chinese. Then there
are probably about 800 slave girls and
women who are forced into q life of
shame and misery.

ANarrOW Escape.

A few days ago a party ofladies
from the East were doing Yellow
stone Park, and in the course of
their rambles they strolled in the
vicinity of the crater of the geyser,
and one daring spirit essayed to
penetrate the mysteries ola spot
where frequent, but fruitless efforts
have been made to find the bottom.
She passed in safety along a narrow
ridge which divides a pool of boiling
water, and peered into the depths OF
the dangerous crater a lew feet dis
tant. Faithful geyser derives its
name from the fact that every 50
minutes there is a discharge from its
depths which replenishes the pool
near which the venturesOme tourist
stood. Premonitory symptoms of
an eruption are conveyed by Il hiss
ing sound as of escaping steam, and
the day in question the tourists had
been frequently notified of this fact.
= : : Suddenly there was the
usual sign given by Faithful geyser
of its intentions, and thelady tourist,
startled by the sound, shrieked and
fell backward into the pool of hot
water. About ten feet distant the
crater yawned in front OF her, and in
her frantic efforts she was rapidly
drifting toward the bottomless pit.
At this juncture Private Coyle
bravely sprang into the boiling
water to the rescue of the unfortun-
ate victim of her curiosity, and,
unmindful of the fact that he was
beingbadly scalded, succeeded in saw
ing the tourist and himself.

Yellow Fever EXnerienccS.

From the New York Commercial Traveller.
"How is thefever usually treated?"
1t isn't generally treated in any par
ticular way. Every time it breaks
out the doctors have to experiment,
under guidance offormer experiences,
of course, until they find out what
treatment is best, for what answers
well in one outbreak frequently won't
answer at all well in another. Some
times, as in Savannah the last time
the feyerwasth there, dry quinine on the
tongue seems to answer best. Some
times other means are more effective.
The champagne treatment perhaps
more generally effective than any
other, but there is scarcely enough of
that costly medicine at command to
supply the need in an epidemic. The
late DIR. Gabriel DisOsWay Ayres, Of
Brooklyn, once told me that on one
occasion he was in a British West In
dia town when the fever was present
there. He was travelling with a
friend and the two remained a week
on the island. One evening they
dined with a physician there, and
next morning learned that he had
died during the night with the fever.
Il thought it time for men who had
no business there to get away" said
DR.. Ayres, "and we took ship the
next day far Havana. In the night
my friend was seized with the fever,
and [ treated him with champagne
without saying anything about it to
alarm the passengers. Whenhe was
out of danger | told the captain, who
at once and very ~impressively said:
If you let anybody in Havana know
that you poured champagne into a
IN a with yellow fever they'll hang
your" The doctor inferredthat the
champagne treatment, though q ia
vorite one with British physicians,
was at that time unknown among
the Spanish. Curiously enough, [
believe any other form OF alcoholic
stimulation in yellow fever kills with
something of the precision of a Rem
ington rife, and, of course, men who
are harddrinkcrs are doomed if they
once get yellow fever. For that mat
ter such men are doomed whenever
they get any virulent disease, and
upon reflection | may say they are
doomed anyhow.

The Mexican Policeman.

The Mexican policeman is usually
dressed oil in white with a blue cap, and
instead of an ugly club lie carries a bright
saber. He does not walk about at
night from block to block, seeing that
all is secure, as our policemen are sup
posed to do, but after a certain hour. of
the night he seats himself flat upon the
pavement at a street corner, and with
his saber drawn and his lantern between
his knees, patiently waits the Mexican
cry of Watch" which notifies him
when he is needed. The Mexican po-
liceman is therefore a harmless, good
natured man, and consequently a favor
tie with the children.

Tho government of Egypt has
been persuaded to make surveys which
prove the existence of \ depressed
region nearly 60 miles long by 20
miles wide, reaching depth of $50
to 800 feet below high Nile. This
depression has for several years been
held by Mr.. d. Cope Whitehouse to
be the site of the wonderful artificial
Lake Moeris described by Herodotus
many have believed
with a circumference of $50 miles.
The interest at last aroused in Egypt
makes it probable that the. Nile will
soon be admitted to this valley by a
canal II miles long. The creation or
restoration of this great arti6sial
lake will give fertility to a wide area,
and will reduce the annual inunda-
tons of the Nile, while storing water
to replenish the river in dry seasons.

Virginia New Enterprise
One afternoon recently a prcma.
turely old and shriveled Piute was
summing himself on a rock near his
wickiup, below the Ophir dump. With
motionless form and grim, sober Wis.
age, he sat pensively cycling the dis
tant, snow-capped mountains. APP
parently he was overhauling the past,
and thinking of the many glorious
feats of valor he had long ago per-
formed by wood and stream among
those same lofty hills, and of how
different good many things are now
from what they were then, before the
tricky paleface had sneaked in and
gobbled up the poor Piute's birth
right.
A San Francisco lady and gentle
man were walking by the cam poodle,
on their way to inspect the California
pan mill. After they had passed
about a rod beyond the duskv old
muser, he suddenly recalled himself,
and vociferated hearty, rousing
"Good morning, matlam!"
The startled lady turned around
and said: "Why-how do you do,
sir?" and, evidently much astonished,
then blurted out-"who are you, any
how ?"
81 am Lo," said the Indian.
"Low-Mr. Low? Why, you are
an Indian, arn't your"
eyes, madam, man Of 'untutored
mind"
"You astonish me! What are you
doing here?"
"Here-seated here, l see God in
the cloud and hear him in the Wind"
Sand, looking as you do, you quote
Pope?"
faye, looking as do" said the old
Piute, and he turned and walked
away, leaving the lady to stare after
him and wonder.
The old Piute was one who was
sent East about 80 years ago to be
educated, and who spent three or
four years in Oberlin College, Ohio.
When he came back to Nevada he at
once settled down again into the shift
less ways of his people. His home is
at or near Wadsworth, but he occa-
strays up this way for a
change of cold grub. The incident
related above was witnessed by two
or three employees of the Con. Cal. &
who greatly enjoyed the
of the lady from the Bay.
She will doubtless return to San
Francisco with high notions of the
mental requirements of our rugged
