A Chinese Jade Ring"

The Chinese minister has made valu-
able gift to the regents of the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington. En-
sconsed in a beautiful gold plush case is
Glade ring about ten inches in di-
ameter and one-eighth of an inch in
thickness. 1t has hollow center about
tour inches in diameter. The face Of
the ring has ornamental spots and its
back Is quite smooth. 1t is of pale
pea hue, though it was originally of
cream color. Upon It's a cream colored
spot about the size of q 10-cent piece,
which, if continuously rubbed with a
piece of silk, Will grow in size. This
ring is known as the 'IIan PEEK" jewel
of the dynasty of Han, who reigned
about th;rty-fve hundred years ago. In
that dynasty, according to Chinese
chronicles, the court officials, when
having an audience with the emperor,
held this ring with both hands, thrust
ing their fingers into the opening, and
guarding against moving their hands
while addressing the throne. 1t wa;
used as an emblem of submission or re-
spect for their sovereign. 1t had been
buried with its owner, was unear,hed
from the sepulchrc recently, and is con-
sidered very valuable. -Chicago Herald.

The occa ion was family banquet

Irish cook, who had served the family
for twenty five Yeas in that capacity.
1t was the silver dinner. Happy the
mistress and happy the maid who can
maintain for so long a period pleasant
relations between the kitchen and the
dining room. 1.-The best cook in the
world" says Mr.. Sloss. The kindest

Money Under the Mast.

That masts of vessels are set on pieces
of gold or silver sounds absurd and
Ananias-like. One day, however, while
attending a launch at an East Boston
shipyard, said a Massachusetts man a
day or two ago, stopped for moment
to watch workmen taking the stumps
out of vessel that had been dismasted.
Instantly that the msinmast was out they
were down on their knees grubbing
about the hole where the mast came out.
The foreman was quite as interested as
any one, and only that sense Of dignity
restrained him he would have left mo

man jumped up shouting, "rve got it, I"

man did not know, and handed up a
coin that, after some polishing. proved
to be a Spanish pistareen. l began to
think the Susan James had been sailed
by some modern Captain Kidd. who
had laid in the hull of his vessel with
silver pistareels, when l heard the fore
mon saying: 'If you find any more

CITIZENS who now and then suggest
4 to the JOURNAL that il should a"itate
| this. that and the other measure with
view of stirring the people to action
Ia secure some public good, know not
what they do. The people of Frost
burg are so stepped in apathy that they
will not be stirred. \ house on fire
arouscs only curiosity in the minds of
everybody except that of the man who
OWNS it. He alone is agitatcd or
stirred to activity.
For instance. last week the JOURNAL
set forth the partiaity of the town
authorities for all the streets except
Broadway, as shown both by the of
fetal figures and the wretchrd con
dition of the street. 1t Indicated an
appeal to those in immediate interest
to attend the Council and lay the ease
before that body.
What was the result
Save the JOURNAL both as an indi-
vidual and paper there was not a man
owning property on Broadway who
thought enough of his own to ap
pear and endorse plea for fair re-
turn of the taxes he pays to the street
he lives ON.
In consequence the little effort made
was Il complete failure. although it
was shown
!, That during the ) years last past
T,5S5.4l had been spent on streets in
Frostburg, of which Broadway got the
pitiful sum of &264 .39-3i per cent.
>, That during the same time Broad
way had paid on real estate alone (per-
Sonal property not taken into account
~ l,114Sj, of which the street had got
ten $264.3 and the streets elsewhere
81 ,4jO. .46: that is. while the Corpora
tion has expended $l5. 40 of our money
on our street it has taken the other
ISL. go of our money and put il on other
streets.
), That Broadway had paid $357 .26
per- "ni"m for ) wears and gotten back
during all of the same time nearly 800
less than the street pays in one year.
/, That while the Corporation has
spent $50 of the entire street fund
during the ) last years on Broadway,
II has placed 500. elsewhere.
1t would seem that policy of dis
elimination so bald would have only to
be mentioned to the Council to be re-
traced. Yet it fell on needless ears
worse than needless. A half hour was
| given to debate over a little charge of
$40. but the Broadway claim was set
| tied without debate in half Il minute ,
How settled
BY carrying Il motion ''to scrape

Instead of putting something on the
street the Council has decided to take
our money and pay for having the
little that makes it easily passablc

People of Broadway, the Council
proposes to take, V $l5 of your
