A Chinese-American Belle.

In Grass Valley the Chinese New Year
week was celebrated with lots of fire
crackers, bombs and festivities. Tin
Loy, the boss Chlnaman there, had charge
of the celebration and rushed things in
fine shape Tin 10y talks English fairly
and is supposed to be wealthy. He be.
licvcs in newspapers and gets himself
noticed as ''goody-good ChinamaA' oc-
casionally. Those who know him best,
however, claim that he is as intense in
his Mons solianism as any Chinaman in
China, and that his habits and ideas are
strong proof that Chinaman never
changes.
But his 14-year-old daughter, Miss Lily,
is altogether of different stye. She
was born in Grass Valley and proudly in
sists that she is q "native Ameri. .an'
girl. In this she is sustained by the Su-
prcme Court of the United States, which
declares that all of every color, bon in
the United States are native born citizens.
Miss Lily has shown her Americauis:n in
many ways. She dresses like American
girls. talks English only, and goes to the
public school. She is an adept scholar,
reads and writes well, plays nj, ely on the
piano. and paints handsomely. Recently
her father took her to China and endcav-
ored to haze her feet squeezed" China
fashion. The young lady fought against
this barbarity and triumphcd. She at
tended the Chinese school for while,
and fairly "oroke up the teacher with
her American independence.
Tn 10y insisted that his daughter
should adopt the Chinese mode of dress
and worship, at least for their New Year
festival. Being coerced into this bar
barity, the young lady, locked herself in
her room and refused 10 see any one. She
boldly denounced the China gods as mere
homemade devils. Tin 10y is proud of
his girl, and supplies her with an abund-
ance of pocket money to satisfy her
American proclivlties. .-Nscado Tran

The Use of Quinine.

"What drug has the largest sale of any
in this country" repeated wholesale
drug dealer in response to a New York
Mail and Express reporters inquiry.
"Quinine without any question. It
seems to have been provided as the

witnessed it's mastery it is little less

never was time in which the use of

name of cinchona, Guinidia, etc, has
been 80 extensive as at present" -
"Is it not used to excessl" !
"Cndoubtedly, and surely it should
not be used at random, and the medical,
adviser may need often to be consulted
as to the indications and contra-indica-
tions for its use. But it can safely be-,
said that it is less abused than most
medicines, and that we may easily rank
it as among the most valuable of AmeriI
can discoveries. While there is no such
danger of acquiring a quiuine habit as
a amorphine habit, the abuse of the drug
is not uncommon"

whatever of my life being spared. Fhey
were not only the most villainous lot a
white man ever saw collected together,
but many of those who returned from
the attack were grievously wounded and
bent on vengeance.
It was about two hours after daybreak
that l was pulled out of the hut and
roughly jerked along toward the fire.
Every man, woman and child in the vii
laoe was in the circle around me, and
the benign old man of the night before
now licked his chops like hungry tiger
and approached to give directions. My
hands were united, and two natives
helped me off with my clothes. AS my
shirt came off the old man, who stood
in front of me, flung up his hands and
cried: "Onna Onna" at the same
time pointing to the mark on my breast.
His exclamation was taken up by others,
and five or six of the oldest men came
forward to inspect the mark. A minute
later they signed to me to resume my
clothing, aad | was no sooner dressed
than was taken to the old mans hat,
and hearty breakfast was given to me.
He not only smiled at me as soft as mo-
lasses, but patted me on the back
many times. After I had eaten was
taken out on the open ground, and every
person in the village filed past and
touched one of my hands. Then every
wounded man came and touched my
shirt over the mark, and was asked by
signs to remain in the village and become
a head man. Ireplied in the negative,
adding that I desired to return to the
schooner right away. There was kindly
attempt to induce me to remain, and
when it was seen that would not, l was
conducted through the woods by au easy
path to the bay, got a farewell all around,
and was then padd ed off to the schooner

they relate to some Indian superstition.

HBusiness Is Business"

You know that in Washington cat
may look at king. That is, any resi-
dent or visitor, however humble, is per-
mitte,l to call upon the ladies or mem.
bers of the Cabinet, Supreme Judges and
Senators on any reception day, and the
call must be returned, at least by card.
Some try to return all such calls in
person.
Last week the conscientious wife of
Cabinet Minister halted her carriage in
an unfamiliar. neighborhood, and soon:
found herself climbing stairs to the third
floor, where the lady whose card she
bore was said to live. She was received
with an obsequious cordiality, and five
minutes later. just as she was retreating,

Novel Sand Cylinders.

Joseph Grandlemeyer, mining expert
from Nevada, gives the following de-
scription of what is called the dance of
the giant: "Great cylinders of sand,
from 5 to 20 feet in diameter, and some
times immensely tall. come careening
across the desert with whirling motion
that is very graceful. Ihave often seen
them when they must have been two OF
three miles high, for their tops reached
up into the clouds. But oftener there
will be one big column, with a lot of lit.
tie columns attending it, all waltzing
along together. The effect is the
strangest thing imaginable. 1t is both
sublime and grotesque. 1t inspires you
with awe, and at the same time fills you
with the desire to laugh at the odd per-
formance. And if the man is supersti-
tious the weird, fantastic sight can make
him feel mighty uncomfortable. They are
never seen except in the summer time, and
are most frequent in July. They have
their beginning in some little, incipient
whirlwind, which snatchcs up handful
of sand while the surrounding air is still,
and then they keep on growing and NOV
ing onward. They are not like the
cyclones further east, for they move with
very lit Q noise, and instead Of being
funnel shaped, are of the same size from
top to bottom. The motion is the SAM,
being both circular and advancing. They
draw up into the cylinder fabulous guam
titles of sand, tons of sage brush, and
sometimes good-sizcd stones. How far
they travel nobody can tell. The very
big ones must have waltzed along in their
silent majesty over the lonely deserts for
a long distance. They must travel the
whole of the White Pine Valley, $50
miles, and sometimes they come down
throu gh Spring Valley from Idaho to the
Peranegat Valley.
"Joe Cam, one of the pioneers of
White Pine, solemnly declares that he
owed his richest strike to one of these
waltzing giants. He was plodding
through the valley, leading a pack mule
laden with his prospecting outfit, when
half dozen sand columns came dancing
silently along. Joe tried to dodge one
of them, and got right in the way of the
biggest one of the whole gang. 1t

up his mind to be smothered in.
sand and carried to heaven by
this dancing dervish of the desert when
his feet struck solid ground, and after
whirling about a few times he fell into
the bed of q creek that was almost dry.
When he picked himself up there was
the mule kicking solemnly and methodi-
cllly at shower of sand that was falling
around him. The waltzing column had
struck side hill and collapsed, as they
often do, and the upper part Of the
column was just coming down. Where
the foot of the column struck the bed
of the creek it had torn up the gravel to
the depth of three CT four feet, and ex.
posed some of the richest pockets Of
small nuggets that Joe ever saw. He

Women as Rulers Of Men.

History does not encourage us to con-
sigu the State to female rule. England
owes one civil war to the temper of
Margaret of Anjou, and another to that
of Henrietta Maria. Mary was an i'm
personation of liability to clerical indu-
ence. Anne overturned not only Min
istry but the policy of the country, and
robbed the nation of the fruits of
its victories to crafty the spleen
of q favorite waiting woman. Under
the results of recent researches the repu-
tation of Elizabeth for craftsmanship
has collapsed. 1t was her good luck to
give her name to an era of national
greatness, but her own political char
acter, as it now star ds, revealed to us, is
that of false and heartless coquette.
Her ill treatment of her servants, such as
Walsingham, wa, not less conspicuous
than her partiality for handsome scoun-
drels like Leicester, or dancers like
Hatton. Her neglect of the national de-
fenses on the eve of the Spanish invasion
was little short of reasonable, and the
nation saved itself in its sovereign's de-
spite. Caroline, the Queen of George
H., did good service by upholding
Walpoe, but she did it in
wCmanly way. If we look
to the history of other countries we shall
find its testimony the same. In France
the Regent Anne did pretty we'll, be-
cause she put herself into the hauds of
Mazarine; but Catherine de Medicis and
the Pompadour did far from we'll. That
female rule is not essentially favorable to
peace, the exploits of three nearly con-
temporary Queens, Elizabeth of Spain,
Maria Theresa of Austria, and Catherine
of Russia, are proofs enough. Female
ambition or passion, if it takes warlike
turn, is likely to be rendered more
dangerous by the irIesposibility of sex.
Isabella of CASTLE is the paragon of fe-
male government; but she had Ferdi-
nand at her side, and she established the
Inquisition. Mr.. Mill thinks that Charles
V. showed his high appreciation of fe.
male craftsmanship by setting women Of
his family to govern the Netherlands;
but harles had no men of his family
available for the appointment, and the
result of these female Regencies, though
little of the blame may be due to the Re-
gents, can scarcely be said to have set
the seal of success upon the experiment.
1t is childish to talk of the good govern
ment of Kings or Queens who reign, but
do not govern. National ReDieo.

A Novel Shell for Steamboat Warfare.

s.The coming weapon of civilized
warfare will not be an explosive bullet,
but a chemical one," remarked scien-
tific gentleman a day or so ago. "Many
suggestions of this sort have been made
and some pan will be adopted before
long, unless am greatly mistaken
What is the best plan"
81 am inclined to favor the suggestion
of Weston, the electrician. He suggests
the use of nitrite of amyl. 1t is well
known that this drug possesses the pow
er of causing insensibility very quickly
in human being breathing its fumes.
The effe,t is equivalent. temporarily, to
q paralytic stroke. Now, nitrite of
amyl is very cheap and plentiful: He
proposes to fire shells filled with the
chemical instead OF gunpowder. 1t will
not be necessary to penetrate ship. A
few gallons of this nitrite dashed on the
deck of a war ship would soon render
her crew helpless. The most powerful
ironclads would be even more vulnera-
BILE than the light cruisers, for they
would be sucking down great draughts
of air through their artificial ventilators
and the odor would thus rapidly perme-
ate the whole ship. The whole crew
being rendered helpless for an hour or
two, the ship could, of course, be towed
into a safe spot, while the captors ven
tilated her and removed the insenslble
men,"-Meu York Mail and Express.

MYSTERIOUS MARKS.

One day over thirty years ago, as OR
ship, the Three Partners, was lying in
the harbor at Raugoon, waiting to dis
charge cargo, q native boat in which
were three people, met with an accident
while drawing near US, and the occu-
pants thrown into the water. l was at
the moment on the ships bowsprit, and
without taking second thought l
dropped into the water aud seized an
old man who had gone down for the
second time and was almost done. A
rope was thrown me from the ship, and
after good deal of trouble the old chap
was lifted over the rail and brought lack
to life. The two other men were swept
away and drowned. But for the fact that
the Captain of the ship was my brother,
the mate would probably have broken
my head as I reganed the deck. A
maddcr man never saw.
"Why, you Internal, good dfo7-noth ;ng

At that time, and I presume it is still
the case, the life of common SiameSe
was of no more value than that of a dog
in the eyes of white mcp. 1t was my
first voyage to those waters, and I was
also young and impulsive.
"See here, young man !" continued the
mate after he had exhausted his stock of
curses; and as walked to the port quar-
ter and looked over into the muddy
waters the head of a crocodile was plain
to be seen.
! The native whom I had rescued was
an cd man, at least sixty. He had a
venerable, digniied look, and was evil
IDENTITY man of much intelligence. He
could speak English fairly well, and, as
soon as he was able to talk, he took me
by the hand and sad:
I "The white people are born brave: l

young man, for one of you. / can do

Itold him that 10 reward was expected,
or would have been received, if ten

permission to pull him to the shore. He
looked at me for a couple OF minutes,
still holding my hand, and finally asked
if had India ink and needles. When |
brought them to him he told me to bare
my breast, and he slowly and carefully

Pearls.

Pearls were never before so fashionable,
and outrank diamonds. They are Queen
Nictoria's favorite gems, and she has
made it a point to give each of her
daughters pearl necklace. The pearls
Of the Queen of Italy and her passion for
them are well known. AS only one
pearl of value is found in about 1000
Shells, hunting them is not a very prof
liable. industry. They are rarely round
and rarer still true white. They are
mostly pink or blush, often itidescent,
and in form usually button-shaped or
fiat on the back. A nearly round white
pearl as big as pea easily brings $500
or more. The difficulty in matching
them makes necklaces so expensive.
More than half the so-called pearl neck
laces worn even by fashionable ladies are
what are known as Roman pearls, or arti-
fetal. The finest are now found in the
west, in the rivers of Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Texas. The finest pearl
necklace in Philadelphia is owned by
Mrs. Elliott, the young married daughter
of Mrs. Charles Wheeler.
