SYNOPSIS OF PRECED1Na CHAPTERS. !


The story opens with the death Of the first
born of Egypt. The Egyptians, frenzied by the
great calamity that has overtaken them. descend
upon the Hebrew quarter with intent to slay
all of that race in their midst, to whom they
attribute their troubles. One man is found and
stoned to DEATH the other houses being de-
serted by their occupants. Hornecht, Captain
OF Pharaoh's bowmen, passed by the ruins OF
the Hebrew village, and in rescuing some cats,
held sacred by the Egyptians. discovers the un-
conscious form of Ephraim. Hebrew youth,
who was the bearer Of o message from Miriam
to his uncle Joshua, a Captain in Pharaoh's
army and warm friend Of Hornecht. The
latter has widowed daughter, Kasana, who
was compelled by her father to marry an Egypt
ian while loving Joshua. Joshua had just re-
turned from long campaign, and knew little
OF what had transpired among his people. He
was satisfied with his position, which was one Of
honor. He has determined within himself to
stay with the Egyptians. when Ephraim deliy
ers his message from Miriam, the prophecies,
calling upon Joshua to lead his people out of
Egypt. Joshua was still unsbaken in his deter
mination to remain in Egypt, when he was
called to see Eliab. an aged slave, who had been
suddenly taken i'll. The old man talked to
Joshua about the exodus until the latter re-
solves to JON his people in their wanderings.
Joshua returns to his tent, and tells Ephriam
that he Hill resign his position in Pharoah's
army and join his people. Joshua is summoned
by Pharoah and during his absence Ephraim,
whose heart is filled with love Of Kasana, de-
termines to go to her and bid her farewell. On
his way to find Kasana Ephraim falls fainting
in the desert. Pharoah sends for Joshua, who
tells the King that he desires to join his peo-
pie. Pharoah makes proposition for the re-
turn of the Israelites. assuring them Of in
creased privileges and the removal Of many
irksome restraints, and prevails upon Joshua
to act as his messengc-

anese friends ate it with great gusto. In
Korea it is not uncommon for the fishermen
to take bottle of pepper sauce along with
them and to eat fish as they take it from the
hook, sprinkling bit of redhot Chilli over
it, and eating it down without cleaning
anything off except the scales. The Kore-
ans are by no means particular as to the
manner in which their fish and meats are
served. The entrails are sold and eaten as
we'll as the rest of the meat, and a common
dish at big dinner is chicken baked,
feathers, entrails and all, and served whole
upon the table.

Detroit Free Press.I
The other afternoon young man with q
forlorn-looking countenance and suit Of
clothes which seemed to have run all to-
gether and consolidated to save expense,
mounted salt barrel on the sidewalk on
Michigan avenue, and started off with:
MY dear friends, pause for a moment and
hear my narrative. am poor but honest
young man. My motto is Excelsior Ny
parents are dead, and am lone orphan"
he added considerable to the above, and
in few minutes he had crowd of 30 people
around him. Then he announced:
My dear friends, do not ask for char
ity. All want is a fair show to make my
way in life. I shall now ask you to chip in
a nickel apiece, and will endeavor to do
something never yet done on the face Of the
globe. Twill try to turn quadruple SOM
ersault in the air."
The crowd seemed to like the idea, and
the small change ratified in until the gross
amount was about So. Then the young man
got down off the barrel, spit on his hands,
picked out his ground and turned a pretty
fair somersault. He turned another and an
other, and then remounted the barrel and
said

do it. Assuring you of my heartfelt thanks
for your kindness, l remain yours truly"
And not man uttered a word of COM

with regard to females, scarcely any at
tend the night schools. In this respect
Plttsburg seems to be a sensible city, fol-
lowing the example of my own great ma
tion. A very little education suficeth for a
woman. Let her learn to make her feet
small, and to arrange her hair. and she hath
all that Confucius requires her to know.
II must admit, however, that some of the
lady school teachers I have met are highly
agreeable, and would, am certain, have
pleased our great sage, in spite of his
maxims

If ever he should come to the howery land.
On the following night we visited some
Allegheny night schools, and observed there
much the same state of things as we had al
ready noticed in the Pittsburg ones. am
much pleased with these night classes, and
on my return to my native country shall use
my influence with the Queen mother to OBJ
tain from our young monarch his consent to
the opening of such establishments In

So ends the manuscript Of Chen Yung. 1t

HIS WONDERFUL EARS.
A Conductor on the Pennsylvania ROa'
Whom Everybody Knows.

Conductor on the Pennsylvania Road
Whom Everybody Knows.
Everybody who travels on the Pittsburg
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad
knows Conductor John Dinges, SAYS the
Philadelphia North american. He is one
of the greatest jokers in the service, and
when not punching tickets is busy telling
stories or perpetrating a joke Conductor
Dinges' ears are historical. They are re-
markable not for their size, but for their
wonderful pliability. His favorite trick is
to double up his ears, and then stuff them
further into the orifce. This makes them
look as if they had been mashed with a
croTbar.
The other night, while the train was
speeding along toward Altoona at the rate
of 80 miles an hour, Dinges doubled his
ears and passed through the fourth car.
Nearly all the passengers were ladies. They
regarded Dinges with amazement. The
conductors face wore look of superb un-
consciousness. One old lady, with iron-gray
curls and pug nose, could not take her
eyes from the ears. When Dinges passed
through the car again her curiosity was SO
great that she could not resist the tempta-
ton to stop him.
Whats the matter with your ears, con-
ductor?" she asked.
Nothing" he replied, innocently, as he
elevated his eyebrows, and the ears few
back to their normal position.
The old lady nearly tainted.

given over the duties connected with his

his trembling hands toward each messenger,

In saving the larger part OF the preciou

strong juice of the grape and their pIee at
securing SO much plunder moved the multi
tude to thankfulness. When at length

hearts, ana joined In hymn of praise
As in Toan the spirit Of the Lord had
fallen on the people in the hour of their de-
parting, so now in Succoth. When some
ancient men and women who had hidden
themselves In the temple of Toan heard the
song OF triumph, they came forth and Joined
the rest, and packed up their possessions
with as much glad hope and condolences in
the God of their fathers as if thev had never
murmured at departing.
As the stars faded, Joy and excitemeutin-
creased. Men and women went ont in
troops on the road to Tanis to meet their
brethren. Many father led his youthful
son by the hand, many mother carried her
infant on her arm; for there were kindred to
greet in the coming multitude, and this lav

which all who we're near and dear must

None sought his bed in tent, hut or
houses. for every hand was needed to finish
the work of packing. The crowd of toilers
in the storehouse had diminished, and most
households were furnished with as much
food as they could carry away.
In front of the tents and novels men and
women, ready to depart, were camping
round hastily lighted fires, and in the farm
yards the cattle were being driven together.
and such beasts and sheep as were unfit to
march were at once slaughtered. Outside
many of the houses men piled the az and
hammer, and the sound of saving was
heard, for itters and couches had to be
hastily constructed for the sick and feeble.
Here, again, ehariots and wagons were still
being loaded, and husbands had no small
trouble with their wives; for It Is
always hard to forfeit a possession

woman's heart often elings more tondly TO
some worthless trife than to the most pre-
cious object she owns. When Rebecca was

Lights shone from every window and tent
door. and torches or lanterns blazed from the
roof of all the better dwellings to welcome
the coming host.
At the feast which had been held on the
night of the harvest festival not table had
lacked its lamb roast with FIRE, but in this
hour of waiting the housewives again offered

before looked down on such joyful faces,
such bright and eager eyes, such beaming
looks of hope and happy faith.

Brooklyn Standard Union.
Last summer a woman residing in an up
town boarding house went down cellar
one night and hung herself Since then the
lady who ran the house has been obliged to
give up because people will not stay in
house where suicide has occurred The
neighbors have been talking about the mat
ter a good deal, and woman living at the
upper end of the same block says that she
has not been down into her own cellar since
the suicide took place, and that she won't
go there. Another neighbor criticises the
poor suicide very severely, and says that if
she wanted to kill herself why didn't she 90
out to the park or some other place, instead
of breaking up good boarding house and
taking away an honest woman's liveli-
hood.
This, of course, makes no allowances for
the person who killed herself being insane.

own life without being mentally deranged,

The Australian Voting System Success in
Montana.

Montana.
Helena Journal
A representative of the Journal has in
terviewed a number of contractors and their
employees, manufacturers. and operators
upon the Australian system of voting, the
workings of the system, its benefits, the i'm
proved facilities, the gain in time, and the
secrecy afforded the voter in preparing and
casting his ballot. All classes and
members of trades and pro-
fessions have been visited and the
verdict of all was in its favor. Some slight
alterations were suggested, but on the whole
the system was declared a most complete
and emphatic success. Adherents of both
parties are almost unanimous in their ex-
pressions of appreciation of the system, and
it is evident that the utmost satisfaction
is to be had by its continuance. The judges
and clerks of election, as before stated in
these columns, are loud ard enthusiastic in
their praises of the efficiency and benefit of
its system, being great help in recording
and counting votes.
