Senator Stanford's hill. fixing the
period Of residence of all foreigners
before citizenship at twen,y.one years
Is . good one and should be tayorably
acted upon. Why any true American
citizen should disapprove OF this aci is
aquestion that Is hard to answer. when
they all know that one great aim of
the majority of the foreigners coming
70 this country is to bsc me citizens
as soon as possible, anil then take The
liberties Of any and all American
born citizens. Many OF them know
nothing of the laws and WAYS Of the
country, even after having been here
I've years, but just as soon as they have
been here that length of inle they
claim a.xoice in all matters, political
or otherwise, and.hav, the same priv.
i!eges as the American born citizen. A
foreigner after living here fave years
is now allowed to become a citiztn
and entertain the same rights as any
male child born in this country has.
after living here twenty-eae years This
certainly is not just, and should no
longer be tolerated, an equality should
at least be recognized and this can be
done TO a certain extent by fixing the
period of residence of foreigners al
twenty one years before they are en-
titled to tie honor OF becoming citizens

losses in War.

In a paper in the C-atuy, after cit
ing some of the most severe rccimeutal
losses i'm the Civil War. Colonel ". T.
Fox SAYS.
The extent Of these losses Will be
better understood if compared with
some II the extraordinary cases cited
IN the histories of other wars. Take.
for instance. the Charge of the Light
Brigade nj Balaklava charge of
the Six Hundred. Lord Cardigan took
j15 officers and men into that action;
tEry lost lis killed and I34 wounded;
total, 247, or 56.7 per cont. The heav-
lest loss in the late Franco-Prussiau
war occurred at Mars-la-Tour. in the
18TH German Infantry (5d WeStphal-
.:an). which lost "a per cent. But the
Hist Pennsylvania lost - per cent. At
Gettysburg, while regjmoutal losses
of % per cent. were frequent occur
raUceS in both Union and Confederate
armies. In the warrior the Union there
wire scores OF regiments, unknown or
forgotten IN history. whose percentage
ii killed and wounded i'm certain ac-
tious would Ear exceed that Of the muca
praised Light Brigade; and nobody
Numbered either.

Marketing in China.

A Chinese market is noisy and ami
mated. You ask the price of shad,
for Instance, o. OF crabs, and the dealer
raises the price of an ounce by so many
cash, which you have to beat down.
What Adam Smith called the ''higgling
OF the market, exists here in its per-
lection. After wasting considerable
time in talking and splitting differ
ences, you at last decide to buy, or the
trader concludes to sell. But however
much YOU may con gratulatc yourself
on having made good bargain, you
can n5t be certain that others may not
make much better bargains with the
same man. Vegetables are sold by
other dealers, and the same process
must be gone through before YOU can
make Il fair purchase Grocery stores
are plenty and there YOU will find on
sale all sorts Of sarses, preserves,
sugars, and so forth, in fact whatever
IS dealt in by grocer5 in America.
Beef is not often eaten by Chinese.
on account of their religious scrUples,
most of them being tinged, more or
less, with Buddhism, but especially be-
cause the OK is used in blowing. Oc-
casionally you viii find stall for the
sale of beef. Through the same preiu-
dice. little cows milk is used by the
people, and that little is made into thin
cakes, well sailed, to be taken as Il
relish.
But kind OF cheese is made of bean
curd. The beans are ground in hand
mills and dissolved in water, then
strained and steamed. The result is a
perfectly white cake, something like
blanc-mange. 1t is eaten with shrimp
sauce. This cake is also dried. There
is also a sauce made from beans.
You perhaps wonder why | have not
described the eats, kittens. and dogs
which are said to be the common food
of the Chinese people. The reason is
because no such things are to be found
III the market. Ia fact, | know Of no
place where such articles of food are
to be had except in low part Of Can
ton, where people who are almost
starved viii buy almost anything to
sustain life. The Chinese people live
on wholesome food, as YOU will learn
from good authorities. They eat rice
as You eat bread. They make their
cakes of wheat, too.-yGi1 Ph0u Ice, in
ST. Nicholas.

In the African Diamond Mines.

Zone of the most curious sights &c
be seen at the diamond mines, said q
recently returned trader, us the IN
spection OF the Kailirs as they come
up out Of the mines each day. These
natives are hired for a period of six
months. during which time they are
not allowed to 90 outside the enclosure
at the top of the mines, called the
compound. containing only a circle OF
huts in which they sleep and store at
which they may purchase tobacco,
snuff, beads. and trinketS dear to the
savage heart. They work constantly
in the presence OF white inspectors
who watch them closely to prevent
their secreting any diamonds about
their persons during the day, and al
night when they come up out Of the
mine they are led out one by one
through a narrow passage, fenced IN
on either side with blrbed wire fences
and each man removes the little bit of
clothing he wears before he enters the
narrow door which admits him TO the
inspectors room. His clothing he car

he sometimes carries, and feels through
his woolly hair. The Katlirs frequent
is cut a deep cash in the fleshy part
Of the thigh. into which they insert
diamond and then bind it up in such a
way ~ to entirely conceal the stone.
Another common trick is to cut and If
litate a place on their leg until it be-
comes a deep wound, in which they
NAV secrete diamond with but small
chance of detection. Occasionally a
kaftir will swallow diamond. and if
undiscovered, will hasten home and
take an cmctic to recover the stone. If,
however, the inspector suspects him
he is compelled to swallow the emetic
in his presence, which frequently re-
suits in the discovery Of the concealed
stone. At the end Of the six months
the gang Of natives are discharged
and return to their tribe, and another
set Of men fill their place. As soon as
they receive the small amount of money
paid them for their labor, they proceed
to invest it in some of the most singu-
lar purchases. 4 fayorite possession

officers scarlet coat they put it on
over their bare skins and strut off with
the trunk under their arms as proud as
peacocks.
The natives know well the value OF
the precious stones they handle, and
in spite of all precautions, it is believ-
ed that very many are stolen each
year. 1t is impossible to wash the soil
so thoroughly that some small stones
will not remain. A woman living neal
mine kept quantity of fowls which,
when killed, very often had, among
the pebbles in their crops, the small
rough diamonds which they had pick
ed up, attracted by the glitter. An
English lady had employed this woman
as Il nurse. and. learning of the little
box of stones she had collected from
the fowls, the lady sold them for her
servant in London, receiving for them
little more than 800"

The average American will be aston
ished to learn that the numberof steam
ers plying on the Volga and its tributar-
les IS greater than the number on the
Mississippi; that Sf5,00O,000 worth of

tributary of the Volga-namely, the Ka-

DIAMOND THIEVES or ZULUnAND.-
The illicit diamond buyer, who incites
the Kafrs to steal diamonds, is a thorn
in the digger's side. Often the illicit
buyer gets a 81, 900 stone for 800, .but
if he is caught in his crooked work and
convicted he is sure to suffer penalty
of fifteen years hard labor. The law is
very strigent, and there is no wav Of get
ting away from it. 1t is Illegal to own
a diamond unless one is claim holder
or a licensed buyer. If private indivi-
dual wishes to purchase a stone or two
for himself, he must first obtain
permit from the authorities. These pre-
cautious will be seen to be necessary be,
cause the value of the diamond, it's porta-
biity, the facility with which it can be
concealed and the uncertainty regarding
its existance make it a source of temptat-
ion to dishonesty among all classes. 1t
is, therefore, against the law for any
one, even if licensed buyer, to pur-
chase diamond from any one not
claim holder, unless he can produce his
permit Globe-Democrat Book Re-

Miss AIcott'S Books.

In 1S6S-twenty years ago-Roberts
Brothers, of Boston. became Miss Al

gestion of Mr.. Niles, of this firm, that
she wrote Little Women''-a story
founded on the home life of herself
and her sisters. The first part of this
story was published in the October OF
1866, and was cordially received; but
il was not until the issue Of the second
part, in the April of 1869, that the
world went wild about it. and all in a
moment. a it seemed, Miss Alcott be-
came famous. Since then she has
known nothing but success; and now,
the summons Of the King has called her
to come up higher.
Little Women took such hold upon
the world, that when Little Men" was
issued its publication had to be delayed
until the publishers could be prepared
70 fill advance orders for fifty thousand
copies The list of her works, besides

now great simplicity is affected in this

that when this metal bC comes popular,

elaborate personal ornaments made of it.

ELEPHANTS AS ExECUTIoNERs.-E
plants were kept by the kings of Bur
mai as exacutiouers When criminals
condemned to die for treason-often in
nocent persons who we're wealthy and
the monarch desired their treasures for
himself--were brought out Of prison to
make a public spectacle for the popu-
lace, and so strike terror to the hearts
Of the Kings enemies, they were ex-
ecuted by these elephants. Each one
would catch hold Of a condemned man

the ground, give a sudden jerk like
Pickering a whip, then tread him to Jelly
