The Beggars of China.

A writer in Shanghai journal re-
ferring to the beggars of China, says
that large donations are given to them
by the people, but these are in the nature
of an insurance. In the cities the beg
gars are organized into very powerful
guilds, more powerful by far than any
Organization with which they can have
to contend, for the beggars have nothing
to lose and nothing to fear, in which re-
spects they stand alone. The shop keep
er who should refuse a donation to a
stalwart beggar, after the latter has
waited fer reasonable time and has be-
sought with what lawyers call ''due dill
gence," would be liable to invasion from
horde of famished wretches, who
would render the existence even of a
stolid Chinese a burden, and who would
utterly prevent the transaction of any
business until their continually rising de-
mands should be met. Both the shop
keepers and the beggars understand this
perfectly well, and it is for this reason
that the gifts flow in steady, if tiny,
riu.-London Times.

The Footgear of Kings.

A curious museum has just been opened
at Dresden. In it are collected number
of boots, shoes and slippers in which en-
perors, kings, queens, princes and other
august or famous persons have some time
or other trodden the path through life.
Among them are pair of boots worn by
Napoleon | at the battle of Dresden, on
April 81, 1918, and pair of white satin
shoes, embroidered in gold, which the
same great emperor wore on the day of
his coronation; another pair of strong
leather boots which belonged to the fa-
nous French marshal, Murat, afterward
king of the Two Sicilies; pair of high
hee1ed boots of Maria Theresa; boots of
the philosopher Kent, and many others,
forming a curious assembly.
If the promoters of the museum have
any energy they win not find it difficult
to increase their curious collection con-
siderably and to make it one of the
sights of Dresden. But they must search
both highways and byways for their
treasures; thus, for instance, they might
perhaps obtain an interesting article from
the good nuns at Nazareth House, Ham
mersmith, who preserve a large COM
Portable looking slipper of the late pope
under a dainty glass case in one Of their
large rooms.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Unpunishcd Law Breakers.

According to the figures published in
the British Blue Book, just Issued, it ap-
pears as though America is not the only
country where criminals SO frequently
escape justice. During 1SS6-S7 there
were in London 42, ,391 indictments and
only 19,045 of the offenders were placed
under arrest. This shows that more than
one-half escaped. 1t is further to be
noted that of those apprehended 3,762
were discharged for want of evidence
and 1895 for want of prosecution, SO
that the number held to bail or COM
mitted was reduced to 1888. OF these,
again, only about 10 ,46s, or IS per cent,
were convicted, or less than one-fourth
of the number of crimes committed

The Magnet in Surgery.

Mechanics and others employed in iron
factories frequently suffer some annoy
ance and no little pain from the acci-
dental introduction into the eye of par
ticles of steel, iron filings, etc. All
persons engaged in work of this kind
should carry with them magnets, the use
of which rarely fails to remove the foreign
body. A man in Lonvale, Ga, drove a
piece of steel filing into his eyeban few
days ago, and a surgeon spent some time
in vain endeavors to extract it. Finally
he brought powerful electromagnetic
to his aid, by means of which the offens-
i've particle was at once removed. 1t

its entire length had been imbedded in

Hint to the Census Taker.

have one suggestion to make: that
our national government, when it takes
the next general census, include in its
statistics information about all the peo-
pie in the United States above 90, the
kind of information to be determined
beforehand by the most eminent physi-
clans and scientific men generally in
this country or in the world. believe
that such information would be of more
value to the world, after having been
properly digested, than all the facts
about the manufacture of cotton cloth,
the raising of tobacco, the production of
whisky, etc., that could be collected in a
century. For do we not all desire to live
long?-Clement N. Hammond in Popular
Science Monthly.

THE WHEEL or THE WORLD.

The wheel OF the world turns round ana round:
Those who are uppermost soon may be
Down in the dust or under the ground;
The king in chains the serf set free,
Over the track in sunshine and rain
It rolls on, over and over again.
The wheel OF the world moves day and night
And its swift revolutions bring
Nations from darkness into light.
Where bells of the good time coming ring.
Over the plot where the palace shone,
1t rolls in the dust of the crown and throne
Around and round the wheel turns and goes
And we go with it, now UP, then down;
Few win the prize that many must lose,
Tired at the goal, how late comes the crown
The brave, the true, the noble, the just,
Will never be lost in the whrling dust.

While, however, the American nation

continue too high in price to compete with

American tariff the handicap on

Cairnes, the abfest of all the later En-

view. In his Political Economy" he
says:
Accordingly, IN the United States. as we
have seen, coal, iron, lumber, and leather
are all loaded with heavy import duties.
Bnt what is the consequence? just this.
that American manufacturers are thus de-

didn't hear him say anything more, though
he did say something more in q lower tone,
Just as il he didn't want it to be heard"
The woman's story threw some light on the
affair. The young man had got excited over
something or other with his father, and in n
moment of anger had fred the fatal shot
which had laid him weltering in his gore,
fatally wounded. Then, whether the thought
of his rash act completely unmastered him,
or left him in perfect despair, he had turned
the fatal pistol towards his own heart and
had taken his own life.
1 called for the girls and questioned them.
Dinah was a very pretty girl, well-formed
and mature for her years, with bright ways
and quick in her speech. She was the older
child and was not more than fourteen or ff-
teen. Lizzie, the little sickly one, was very
quiet, and it was harder work to get her to
answer straight. she was so frightened and
shocked by the terrible event she had wit
messed together with her sister.
However. l got something out of them by
countless questions. Their story confirmed
what the stepmother had told me. They had
sat down to the table with their brother and
the father. The brother had seemed irritable
and quarrelsome. and was inclined to pick
his father up and d%isapprove of things he had
done.
