CHINA'S VANDERBILT.

He is relative of the Chinese Minister at Washington, and his grandfather diei less than a generation ago leaving an estate of fifty million ha d gold dollars. His nSme is How Qua. and he has acres of houses ln the busiest part of Canton. his own residence occupies the site of a gcod-sizcd farm, and he has diamonds and pearls by the cupful. One of his diamonds, worth $60. 900, was sent to England to be sold not long ago, and 1t Is probably now in the jewel casket of me of the monarchs of Europe He has plantations of rice fields and many acres of the choicest tea gardens. His money is well invested and he would approach the wealth of Jay Gould were it not that the officials every now Rn6 then come down upon him for a gift of from S10, 1000 to $1o0,001 and he dare not refuse. This rich man is BOW fOrty-nino years old, though he does not look over thirty-lve. He is @ typical Chinaman of the literary class, has a bread. high forehead, thin, yellow cheeks. and eyes that shine as brightly as his choicest diamonds His hair is like jet and his queue reaches to his ankles. lie was dressed in silks and fur when he received me, and he had z SSght, round black k sku3 cap on the top of his head.

How to Tame a Bird.

If anybody knows how to tame birds, it ought to be Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller; and these arc her rules, which arc simple enough for any ono to under stand and practice: No creature is more jealous or sensitive than bird. It is easy, however, to win the heart of almost any bird, and without starving him or making him think he has mas tered you. Simply talk to him a good deal Place his cage near you on your desk or work-table, and retain his choicest dainty to give to him with your own fingers. Let him know that he can never have that particular thing unless he takes it from you, and he will soon learn, if you are patient, and do not disconcert him by fix ing your eyes upon him. After this he will more readily take it from your lips; and then when you let him out of his cage, after the first excitement is over, he will come to you, especial ly if you have a call you have accus- toned him to, and accept the dainty from you while free. As soon as he becomes really convinced that you will not hurt him, or try to catch him, or interfere in any way with his liberty, he will give way to his boundless curi- osity about you; he will pull your hair, pick at your eyes, and give you as much of his company as you desire.- Youths Companion.

GRAND DUKE FERDINAND.
Under the Robe of a Cardinal He Wore
 the Mail of 2 Prince.

Under the Robe of a Cardinal He Wore
 the Mali ofa Prince.
 In the year 1909 Ferdinand, Grand Duke of Tuscany, lay dying. Under him Florence had maintained it's com merce and Tuscany held it's own, in spite of Emperor and Pope. Indeed, long before he had exchanged Car dinal's hat for the Tuscan throne this Prince had given proofs of the reso- lution, fire and vile which served to maintain his state in those disjointed times. The early occasion that called these qualities into play is so typical of the time as to be worth recording here. The story is recorded by Napier. He says: '.In the year 1890 Pope Sixtus forbade that small arms should be worn on pain Of death. Yet one day from Prince Farnese's pocket tumbIed small pistol at the very feet of the Pontlff, and the Prince was or dered to be hanged at the same hour next evening. Ferdinand, hearing of this, determined to save his kinsman, and to this end found means to retard all the clocks of Rome one full hour, except the Pontiff's. At the moment appointed for the execution he re- paired to the vatican and begged the life of his friend. Sixtus, seeing that the time was passed and the execu- tion, as he thought, over. most gra- eiously signed an order of release and Ferdinand repaired to St. Angelo and carried off the Prince ia triumph. In- censed at this trick. tho Pope determined to arrest the Cardinal, whom he sum- moned to tho vatican. Ferdinand, cognizant of the Pope's intention, armed himself with Q cuirass and short weapons, made his adherents guard every entrance to the palace, and then boldly entered the audience chamber. Sixtu3. informed Of all and cautiously dissembling, received him as usual Ferdinand bowed pro- foundly and, purposely letting fall his robe, showed a glittering cuiTass. On seeing this the Pontiff exclaimed: My Lord Cardinal, my Lord Cardinal. what is this?' This, oh most holy father. replied Ferdinand, raising the purple garment, is the habit of Car dinal, and this parting the drapery and striking his mailed breast, is the habit of au Italian Prince.

 rhough She May Chew Gum, She Is 8
 Very V:.lrsajle Member Of Society.
 Itis doubtful if there exists il the
 and to-day a paragrapher. or any other species of alleged humorist, but uh3 has not something to say about the typewriter girl. She has been ridiculed, and even maligned. Col umns of presumable wit have made the compositor happy at her expense. She is one Of the principals Of the paragrapher's stock in trade, and stands in the pigeon-hole beside the mother-in-1aw, spring bonnet and home-from-the-lodge jokes. She has been terribly abused, but with Spar tan courage pounds the keys and never utters a word of complaint. It is not unnatural, however, that so charming 8 subject should receive the attention of the festive paragrapher, but it is somewhat strange that the serious side of the question has never been considered The typewriter girl does not thump the alphabet just for her health. She learned how to manipulate the keyboard through necessity. It was Q condition and not a.theory that confronted her. She saw a territory of action before her and rushed forward and planted her claim. She is there to stay. She is regular in her habits. She may chew gum, but she never dallies with tobacco, nor toys with the serpent lurking in the wine-glass. In these respects her superiority over her male competitor is palpably evident. Her living eX- penses are confined to food, t0lu and dress. She never indulges in draw poker, nor high-low-i jack, therefore she can work for a smaller salary than 9 male. and save more, too. She $ an angel of loveliness about the office. The proprietor swears less, and the Cffice boy doesn't whistle as much as before the advent of the typewriter girl.
 But towering above all these de- ightful considerations is her business usefulness. The typewriter girl has discovered what nature knew long ago, namely, that she is capable of doing the real business of the world. She has the capability, and is fast ac- quiring the adapta bili5y. Man has slowly become Q monopoiist, and adds to his monopoly of vice @ monopoly of the business world. The pretty typewriter girl, perhaps unconscious ly, is surely breaking down this Un- worthy trust. The typewriter girl is rather lowly in station now, but if she will glance into the horoscope Of the future she will see looming up before her, in all the gorgeous colors Of the solar spectrum, supremacy. or ct least equality, in the business realm. From a mere autOmatOn, whose duty it is to hold close communion with the En- glish alphabet, she will advance in time to business management and even to proprietary interest. Her feeling of dependence will disappear like dew before the morning sun. She will amass enough wealth to remain single until matrimonial stock has reached far in the market of hel heart. Then she can settle down to domestic bliss, if desirable, and then arrogance and assumed superiority of the husband will Do missing, te- cause she will know her business and he will be thoroughly cogrizart of the fact Minneapolis Tribune.

 The success CT Q young man or wom- an in any work or profession depends largely on the spirit which he or she puts into it. Many good workmen who are faithful to the letter Of their con- tract with their employers remain salesmen and book-keepers until they are gray-headed, wh.ie others pass over them and become heads of estab- ltshmcnts of their own.
