a Modern Romance of the Fast.

4 Greek merchant of Alexandria in
Egypt, who made great deal of money,
unable to return personally to his coun-
try, but intent upon choosing a Grccian
maiden for his. wife, writes to his CORE
spondent in Corinth at the bottom Of his
usual business letter: ''Finally request
you to remit me, by returning steamer, Il
Young lady who might feel inclined to
become my wife. She need rot be in
possession of any money, with which |
am sufficiently blessed, but a good rcpu-
taton, OF the age Of "a or %, a respect
able family, good looks, health and tent
per, and middle-sizcd figure. If the
lady will bring me the enclosed note,
with your kind acceptance, You may feel
assured that shall honor the same and
make the bearer my wife. y
Although somewhat aslonished at this
singular order of his Alexandria CORE
spondcnt, the merchant of Corintl, as a
good business man, thought best to fill it
like any other received from SO reliable
Il customer, and 10 send the merchandise
demanded at short notice. Having found
a lady possessing the required qualities,
and willing to transmit with the accept
ed check of her unknown countryman
her hand and heart. the Corinthan took
her aboard the next steamer going to the
country of the Phnraolls. At the same
time he notified his friend By telegraph
OF the precious shipment.
Az soon as the boat anchored in &c
lmrbor Of Alexandria the matrimonious
Greek boarded it, to hear himself called
by name and see u pretty young damsel
stepping up to him, saying: 81 have a
check signed By you and hope you will
duly honorit.
Never yet note of mine has gone to
protest." replied the blushing groom,
land shall not permit this to happen to
the one you hold. l shall be happy ifin

your hand"
4 fortnight later the note was re-
deemed and the payer Il happy husband.

POULTRY REARING.

1t is feared by many persons who feel
inclined to the pursuit of rearing poultry
that the market may be overstocked and
the demand cease, or at least be so over
supplied that the market value OF chick
ems will be too small for profit. There is
little fear of this. As to poultry gener-
ally, there cannot well be too much of
it, for it caa be produced cheaply enough
10 supply a demand thrice as large rs the
present with profit ut considerably less
than the rates now current With u
larger supply the demands Of the dealers
for profit will be lcsscncd, because the
trade will be increased, hence one cent
per pound profit may pay these useful
public servants then as we'll as three
cents now. But the rearing OF broilcrs
is now Il fine art, and only a few of those
who attempt it succeed. Hence, while
the demand is constantly increasing, the
supply does not keep pace with it, and
will hardly do 50 for many years. But
with Il small reduction in price tina de-
nand will double or treble, and the same
apparatus being sufficient for twice as
many chickens us are nov reared, the
total profits of the business may be in
creased, although the prices may be di-
mnished. No doubt there is plenty of
room foi many more breeders and
brCodS.

Tile Most easily Wood.

Tic most costly of all the various
woods now in use among cabinetmakers
is what is technically known as French
walnut, it does not, however, come FROM
France, but is brought from certain parts
of Persia, Circassia, and Asia, its growth
being thus exclusively Oriental. To
work the logs into condition for
vencers, they are first subjected to a
steaning process until they become al
most as soft as butter; they are then
fastened to an iron beam, which revolves
around Il finely tempered knife with a
razor-likc edge Of the same length as the
log Every time this beam turns around
it moves fraction OF an inch nearer to
the knife, and thin sheet of wood is
shaved of with great smoothness and
laid on t,e floor; these sheets are in fact
but tac oae hundred and twentieth of an
inca in thickness, and indeed the vepeers
are frequently made us thin as It's to the
inch. The venecrs used on furniture are
somewhat thicker, the thinner ones being
used on picture frames, also for covering
walls in some cases.

Report of the Inspector at San Diego
His Suggestions.
WASHINGTON, May l4th.-The Secretary
OF the Treasury to-day transmitted 10 the
Senate the report from Datus L. Coon, the
Chinese Inspector at San Diego, California,
dated April 2lst with respect to the eva
sions of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Coon says it is true that Chinese are
coming into the United States despite the
efforts of the Customs Department to keep
them out. He says the opportunities for
crossing the Mexican border into California
are many, and with the force at the COM
mand OF the department it will be impossi-
BILE to prevent them all from entering this
country.
When they have once reached San Diego
unobserved, 1t is practically impossible to
prove when or how they came. Comment
ing upon the charges that the Scott Exclu-
sion Act is failure, Coon says that this is
practically true as to its execution Tor the
reason that when a Chinaman is arrested
he is enabled while in confinement to
make arrangements with friendly country
men to be returned a second time and be
conducted to some other town. He is also
able to disguise himself as to make identi-
tication if caught extremely difficult.
The order of the Secretary of the Treas
ury prohibiting the transfer of Cinnamon
In transit in the harbor of San Francisco
was most fortunate one, and will check
the traffic for time, but some other meth
cd, Coon is confident. will be found by
which to come into the United States.
He suggests treaty negotiations with the
British Government and Mexico looking
to the exclusion of Chinese, and says that
Chinese exclusion legislation would then
be very simple.
The Morrow and other bills, Coon de-
clares, are defective, in that they provide
for the return of the Cinnamon to the
country from whence they came. Even
children laugh when told of this law, for
they know Chinaman returned to Mexico
will be eating his breakfast in the United
States the next day.

Chinese Cannot Be Punished for SteaIin
Into the Country.

Into the Country.
Los ANGELES, May 14th.-United States
Commissioner Van Dyke Yesterday
rendered decision in the case of the eleven
Cinnamon captured by Government officials
while trying to enter the United States
from Lower California. The Commissioner
decided in favor OF the Cinnamon and
against the theory that anything else can
be done with them except to return them
to Mexico or possibly to China
The section of the Act of 1884 amend
atory of the Act of 1882, under which pro-
ceedings were brought, provides clearly
what shall be done with any Chinese per-
son unlawfully in the United States. A
later section, No. 16, provides that any vio-
lation of the Act, punishment for which is
not otherwise provided, is misdemeanor
1t was under this section that the United
States Attorney filed the complaint against
the eleven defendants, holding that the re-
moval of Cinnamon to the country whence
they came was not punishment, that
those coming in illegally were violating
the law, and that the violation was the only
one which punishment was not provided
in Section 16. In his brief the United States
Attorney held that Cinnamon could be both
remanded and punished.
Commissioner Van Dyke holds that from
the reading of the statute there is but one
course to be followed. He thinks there are
other violations of the law for which
punishment is not expressly provided, and
that to those Section l6 applies. But be-
yond the statute, from the history of the
anti.Chinese legislation it is easy. he holds,
to see that the whole aim of the people and
of Congress has been to prevent Chinese
from coming into the country, and, if they
effect an entrance, to send them out as
quickly as possible. Therefore, taking both
the letter and the spirit, the Commissioner
concludes that there is but one thing to be
done with the Chinamen-that is. to re-
move them to the country whence they
came.

on my Grave"
SAN FRANCISCO, May 14th.--An analysis
of the stomach of Lena Lotiji, the young
girl who died under suspicious circum-
stances in her home at Church place on
Sunday morning, shows that her death
was caused by arsenic poisoning. 1t is
supposed that family troubles drove her to
commit suicide.
Those who are acquainted with the FAM
lily say that the poor girl had anything but
a happy home. She had been despondent
and morose of late, and it is supposed that
while in downhearted mood she took her
life. Mrs. Lottji, after lot of questioning,
admitted to-day that the girl had frequently
intimated that she intended seeking relief
in death. At the bakery at 15253 Dupont
street, where she was employed, it was
learned that she had often talked about
how happy it was for those who were
through with the cares of this life. When
ever she had any spare time during the
past few months she would visit her faith
er's grave in Lone Mountain Cemetery and
sit there for hours. She returned home
two weeks ago from visit to the ceme-
terry. and told her mother that while she
was at the graveside she had premonition
that she had but short time longer to
