Chinese Bes,,a,,s.

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 ma
trire of an insurance. In the cities the
beggars are organized into very pow
erful guilds, more powerful by far
than any organization with which
they can have to contend, for the beg
gars have nothing to lose and nothing
to fear, In which respects they stand
alone. The shop keeper who should
refuse donation to a stalwart beggar,
after the latter had waited for rea-
sonable time and has besought with
what the lawyers call 'tdue diligence"
would be liable to invasion from q
horde Of famished wretches, who
would render the existence even of q
s.olid Chinese burden, and who
would utterly prevent the transaction
of any business until their continually
rising demands should be met Both
the shop keepers and the beggars un-
derstand this perfectly well, and it is
for this reason that the gifts flow in a
steady, if tiny, rill.-London Times.

Probably the most interesting char
acter hereabouts, says The Augusta
(Ga) Chronicle, is a negro man who
was one of the cargo of the Wanderers,
the last slave ship to bring to this
country load of captives from Africa.
Lucius Williams, as he was christened
by one of the young ladies of the fam
lily into which he was sold, or 'sUm-
walla," as he was called in Africa, lives
in a small hut on the outskirts of
Hamburg, across the river from here.
Since freedom he has earned ivei-
hood working gardens, saving wood
and whitewashing. He was a little
surprised when asked about his early
life, but talks we'll once he has
begun, requiring to be questioned fire.
quently, however. Umwalla was born
in Guinea, according to his story, not
Liberia. One day when he was about
10 years of age he.was sent to his aunt
to carry her some pinders to plant.
When he was going through the
woods two strange black men seized
him and bound his hands. He cried
terribly and they soon gagged him.
They sold him to q native, who took
him to Liberia. There, for the first
time in his life, he saw Awhile man,
and he was terribly frightened at
him.
Umwalla was then taken to the
Wanderer, where large number of
captives had already been stored away
in the hold.
When the Wanderer approached the
South Carolina coast she was sighted
by a government boat and given
chase. During the night she dropped
anchor off Pocotaligo and the cargo 81
negro men and women was deharked.
Umwalla, or, as he was soon after
ward called, Lucius, was taken TO q
Carolina plantation near Beach island
and put to work there.

Zone Of Us Must Die. J"

A tragic occurrence took place at q
small farm called Hendre Mochtre,
near Newtown, Montgomeryshire, on
Tuesday evening. The tenant of the
farm, man named Abraham Morris,
with his son Edward, % years of age,
had been drinking together at a public
house a short distance from their
house. On their way home about II
o'clock quarrel arose between them,
and on arriving at Hendre the son
challenged the father to fight. The
latter refused, whereupon the son said:
"One of us must die" and Immediately
took q loaded gun which stood near at
hand, and, resting the stock on the
ground, with the barrel pointing to his
head, he pulled the trigger. A farm
servant rushed forward but it was too
late to prevent the gun going off.
Death was instantaneous. To add to
the painful character Of the affair the
mother and two sisters, as well as the
father Of the deceased, were present

Study Hours for Children.

According to Dir. Newell. ..'for children
of 10 or 12 years the capacity for bright
and voluntary attention is exhausted by
four varied lessons requiring mental eff
fort of half an hour with intervals
ofrelief in the foreq i'm the afternoon
this capacity is rd one half. Two
hours in the fore and one honr in
the afternoon is as ldhg time as chill
dren can be proftabiy employed in
school sas-fA- s s.
DIR. Chancellor supports this view, and
advocates eighteen hours week as the
limit for school children Under H..
Baginskey, author of, a German work on
school hygiene, takes the same view, and
in demonstration of its effectiveness it is
alleged that half time pupils in the
English schools learn as much as the chill
dren who are,in school the full number
of hours. -Halps Journal of Health.

Row French Coffee is Made.
The French have the reputation of
making the best coffee. Their method
is very different from the American
method. They take great deal of
care in making this favorite beverage,
and the result is that when French
coffee is taken one drinks the pure
flavor Of the berry. They always
grind the berries just before they are
to be used, and do not let a quantity
Of ground coffee stand and get stale.
The French cook then pours boiling
water on the ground coffee; then she
filters this, and, after boiling the
water again, pours it on the coffee
once more. This is repeated third
time. She never boils the coffee and
water together. nor puts the coffee in
cold water and then let it boil. The
French do not know how to make
good tea, but they give this recipe as
the proper way to make tea: Pour boil
ing water on the leaves and then turn
1t out Of the pot. Then pour one-third
Of the water required, and place the
pot over steaming apparatus in order
to let it draw without boiling. After
a while add another third, and then
the last third. In this way the full
flavor and strength Of the tea is OBJ
tained.-New York Mail and Express.
