In the Chinese Capital.

The outside of the emperor's palace-au that any European has ever seen of it since the days of Marco Polo-is ideal, a fairy palace. High walls shut in the forbidden city; moat surrounds them; and then there are the glistening yellow tiles, the roofs built by the old Mongols in imitation of their tents Then there is the green hill with its trees, and palace roofs climbing up it. The entrances are of deep blue, bright green, golden drag oned, with here and there touch of yer million. The sky is blue above, the sun shines: and there ill the roadway sits a child stark naked, it's face so dirty that it is impossible to see what it is like, it's head misshapen with disease. No wonder the present emperor never cares to come outside, and is supposed never to have done so. The world inside must be far more delightful, if it matches with with those glittering fairy roofs.
 Report does not speak we'll of the young emperor. He is described as unwilling to learn, sickly, and froward-very ready to fling things at peoples heads if displeased, and altogether cut out to commit some great folly if he ever becomes really the ruler of China He receives the high officers of the empire kneeling on their knees, he alone sit ting in state; but behind curtain sits the reigning empress, hearing all, and really rul- ing China.-St James, Gazette.

Cured by a Whaling Trip.

A young fellow who had been coddled into a nuisance by foolish mother ''took notion" one summer to go off on whaling trip and work his passage. He was one of the most fastidious members of select circle of young society men, and nothing had ever been quite good enough for him. His mother wepJ and remonstrat 1. She was sure it would kill him, but somewhere in him there was the blood of an ol sea captain, and this asserted itself. Mother" he said, "I shall lie if stay here and run in the old rut. I am sick of my useless life; let me try myself; see if am not the same flesh and blood as other men, and have not as much nerve and :;trength as they" His mother had had her -ears excited lest he was developing con-
 umptive tendency, and finally yielded a re- >uctant assent. She wanted to load him down with delicacies, and defense against wind and water. But the old captains blood in him was up, and he would none of it. No, mother" said he, "I am going to rough it., live on hard tack, pork and molasses, just as the rest do, and see if can stand it. I may get very sick of it and be glad enough to come home and be taken care of, but I'll try it any way"
 He did try it-lost his dudyism and cyni- cism, also his consumptive tendencies; took on health, breath, a manful tone and appear ance, acquired new ideas of life, and, in short, turned out to bea first class sailor, and finally a perchapt whose ships sailed tho Yide sea bVed1-Jehz1dH JMe iuSh LUGSEse' pGh&8aD.

Something About Begging Letters.

MT. Childs gets about 200 begging letters every day, and the mail of this kind which is received by our rich men daily would con-
 sume the supply of large paper factory. This letter will start the beggars all over the
 country to writing letters to the charitable
 men mentioned in 1t, and have been told by
 rich men that every mention of their wealth
 brings out scores of new alms-asking core spondents. I once published a newspaper letter about President Cleveland's charities,
 in which told how he frequently gives away
 s1o and $2o bills in response to letters which
 excite his sympathy. For weeks after this
 was published the White House mail was
 burdened with begging letters making refer
 ence to it, and Sam Tilden's private secretary
 once i'd me that the greater part of Mir.
 Tilden's mail was made up of letters from beggars Tilden never saw these, and it was only in few cases that these letters ever
 reached his eyes.
 It is the same with the mail of W. W. Cor coran and c. P. Huntington. Huntington's letters come from all parts of Europe and the United States, though there are moro from the Pacific slope than anywhere else He does not read such letters closely, and usually pitches them into the waste basket. MT. Corcoran's letters are replied to with a
 printed form which states that his secretary IS Q1recCed not to present. SUCH IeGCeTS to nilu,
 as he is unable to meet the numerous de-
 mands which they contain. The letters
 which he receives are from everywhere and
 of all kinds, and the cheek exhibited in some
 of them is to say the least, remarkable. One
 woman had husband worth $50, 900, but she would like to be independent of him, and she
 writes MT. Corcoran for a donation large
 enough for her to live upon it's interest. Another woman wrote for barrel of salt
 pork, and third wrote for a lavender silk dress to be used during a presidents recep- tion which was soon to come of.-Frank G. Carpenter in New York Mail and Express.

A TALL WESTERN STORY.
An Everlasting Flow of Natural Oyster
 Soup Near San Jacint0.

An Everlasting FLOW O1 N8CuI0A Oyos01
 Soup Near San JacintO.
 While visiting the Hot Springs last week our attention was called to a new discovery, which bids fair to become of great impor- tance to our citizens and also to the outside world. Emerging refreshed and invigorated from the sparkling waters, a friend offered us a steaming bowl, with 8 request to sample it's contents, The flavor was delicious and the taste suggested oysters, or French puree soup. The addition of a cracker made a savory dish of soup, and the lunch was pro- nounced highly enjoyable and satisfying by all who partook
 Yet the sole constituent of our appetizing dish was the natural Hot Springs water, re- enforced by pinch of salt and pepper. Mrs. Brown, who has charge of the bath house, stated that during the last month there has grown up steady demand for the new dish, and all who tasted it once wished to try it on every succeeding visit.
 For delicacy of flavor, point of satisfying the appetite, ease and cheapness of prepara- tion, this latest addition to our cuisine can not be excelled. A careful examination of the geological features of the canyon wherein the Hot Springs have their source revealed the startling fact that in the lodges of shale and mari from which they flow are found, in petrifed and fossilized form, large beds of palaeocrystic oysters Nipociphala Lamilli- bronchia). The dissolved action of the hot water, charged with powerful gases, continually eroding these fossil carbonates, must leave evident traces of it's passage through these prehistoric mollusks, and it is matter of surprise that this discovery should have been so long deferred. Among the vast and va ried resources of our great San Jacinto val ley we can point with pride to the ever flow ing stream of hot oyster soup free to all- who furnish their own salt and pepper-issu- ing from natures grand storehouse in the everlasting hills, only one mile from the cen ter of town. Already there is talk of form ing-a local syndicate of capitalists to erect bottling works and ship the product of these springs over the length and breadth of this fair land. Railroad hotels, city restaurants and church fairs will doubtless hail with de- light this wonderful discovery, which when re-enforced by the patent indestructible gutta percha oyster lately introduced will drive all other soups from the market. Tally one more for San Jacinto.-San Jacinto Register

BIsMARcK's speech in the Reichstag Mon day was remarkable for it's clear cut inde- pendence of expression. Here is a passage showing the general tone of the speech "We place our reliance on the strength ot our army. If we have no cause to use it all the better; but we must make our ar engagements with the idea that we do use it. Threats do not frighten us. The threats of the press are boundless folly Such things cannot in the slightest degre, influence our action. We Germans fea1 God, and nothing else in the world. The fear of God makes us wish to foster peace He who breaks the peace will arrive at the conviction that the warlike~ and exultan love of the Fatherland, such as summoned the whole population of Prussia to arms il 1913, is the common possession of the en tire German nation; and he who attack will find it armed to man, every mal having in his heart firm belief that Goo is with us."

At the Mouth of the Congo.

The fact that fifteen to twenty-five steamers month are now arriving at the mouth of the Congo illustrates the growth of commerce in that region since Stanley showed the i'm portance of the great river. One ocean steamer has already ascended the river to Bona, fifty miles from the sea, and the best channels are being marked by buoys, so that deep draught vessels may safely navigate the lower river. Little hotels for the entertain ment of travellers have been built at Banana and Bona. One reason why the whites on the lower river enjoy far better health than formerly is said to be because they have dis carded canned meats and now raise their own beef. Cattle thrive finely at Bona, and ii takes steer every three days to feed the whites who are now living at that station.- Chicago News.

work altogether to frequently of late. In Buffalo Sunday, horse became entangeled in broken telephone wire and was in stantly killed by the shock. The driver was rendered senseless, and colored boy, who ran to his assis. ance, received a shock and was killed almost instantly. On the same day in Memphis, Tenn, broken electric light wire caused the death of 8 boy who tried to poke it with a piece of iron hoop. Accidents of similar nature are becoming of common occurrence, and public sentiment has almost reached a point when a reform will be demanded. The over-ground wires must go.
