The United States warship Trenton car
ried into Corea the first electrical installa-
ton ever seen there, and the first that the
natives had ever heard of Immediately
after her arrival at the port the Coreans
focked to her sides in their sampans, and
many of them were allowed on board
They expressed great surprise and wonder
at the many fine things they saw during
their visit, and were delighted.
When night came, however, and the
electric lights were set going, they were
filled with establishment and awe. They
were shown the electric bells, annunciatOrs,
torpedoes, etc, and at once they believed
the foreigners were in league with the
devil A native would be told to press a
button, and bell would be heard ringing
at a distance, whereupon the whole com
pany would rush to that part of the ship
to see who was ringing it. Finding no one
there, they would attribute the phenomenon
to he an evidence that the evil spirit
reigned over the vessel.
Some of the visitors made Intellectual
attempts to prevent the ringing OF the bell
by grasping the wire tightly in their hands,
hoping in that way to head off the evil
one who was playing such freaks for their
amusement An electric primer, i'm
mersed in a bucket of water, was surround
ed by half dozen dirty denizens of the
benighted land, while another native was
told to push button at a distance, where
upon the primer exploded, throwing water
all over the surprised party, who were
looking eagerly into the bucket.
Some incandescent lamps were lowered
far down into the water, and being sud
denly lighted, no one being near, the ma
tives were filled with horror, and without
stopping to look at the uncanny switch
board, which they regarded as an import
ant part of the anatomy of the evil spirit
they hastily scrambled over the sides o.
the vessel and hurried away from the devi
and the Trenton. st. Louis Globe-Demo

legiance to foreign potentates and gov.
ernments, and who honor and revere
our national flag.
We should be opposed to the occu-
pancy of any part of our land by for
eign spectators or adventures, who
do not wish to become citizens, and we
believe all the resources and privileges
of the country should be reserved for
the exclusive use Of citizens, either
native or naturalized. We are in favor
of crushing out that which is already
here and Of taking measures which
will prohibit from entrance into our
ports, in the future, Of that foreign
element which comes to advocate Com
munism, Anarchism, Nihilism and all
kindred isms, and which does not
identify itself with our country, and
does not respect our flag and which is
not altogether worthy.

How to Get Into a Hansom.

"Ah, say, Arthur, will you go round to
the club with me for bit?" asked one
gilded youth of another on Pennsylvania
avenue the other afternoon.
Eyes, thanks; don't care if do. Call a
cab, though I'm too tired to walk"
A herdic drove up, and the first speaker
was about to enter it when the other OBJ
jected.
ooh. say, old man; don't be such a cad
and ride in such a stuffy box as that. Call
hanson. It's more proper, you know"
Presently one of the latter vehicles ap-
peared, and the first swell stepped in, seat
ing himself on the side foremost from the
curb, whereupon his companion asked:
Don't you know any better than that,
old fell9 Sit over on this side of the cab.
Then it will be easier for me to get in, you
know"
The first did as he was directed and the
other stepped in, passing in front of his
companion, and gracefully slid into the
vacant half or far side of the seat.
This aroused the curiosity of reporter
to learn whether or not there really was
any advantage in this seemingly peculiar
advice. On stating the case to an intelli
| gent driver he.said: mo. Most folks don't
know how to get into hanson cab, but
the dude you speak of was right. You
must do just the opposite from what you
would do on entering a carriage. I'll tell
| you why. You see, when two people want
/ to ride in a hanson the first one in must
sit on the side from which he enters, be-
cause it is much easier for the second per
son to slide into the further seat. The
reason is that the side pieces to which the
doors are attached are in the way, and are
all the more SO when the first fellow takes
the further seat, for then the second chap
must squeeze in and make sharp turn in
order to dodge the door jamb and not walk
all over No. I."-Washington Post.

A Blind Judgment

One of the players must be blindfolded
and seated at the upper end of the room.
Each of the others is then led in turn. and
without touching them, the blinded one
must give Judgment regarding them. If
the judgment is possible then the person
led up must be blindfolded in his place: if
not he pays forfeit and another person is
brought up until he makes a correct guess.
For example:
Question-What is your sentence regard
ing this prisoner?
Judge-Iie must sing German song.
Forfeit-Mss T does not understand
German, and is 81 hoarse she can scarcely
speak.
Question-What is your sentence regard
ing this prisoner
Judge-That she will read selection
from Hamlet"
Forfeit-It is your little baby brother
who doesn't yet know his letters.
Qnestion-What is your sentence regard
ing this prisoners
Judge-He must buy himself a wig.
DR.. W, being bald headed, now ha,
the honor of the judges chair.
And 50 the entertainment goes on, to the
interest and delight of the assemblage,-

4 REPUTATION

The Spokane Review is working
itself into state Of uncomfortable
and unbecoming Miniature because
some Of the newspapers i'm this state
do not approve of an extra session Of
the legislature, and il has taken TO
calling hard names. The Fairhaven
HERALD comes in for an over share
of this yituperation. Among other
things the Review says that the HER
AIDS editor and proprietor are both
appOintees OF Governor Laughton.
The proprietor Of the HERALD is a
stock company and no member Of that
company except the editor and Cover
nor Black have appointments from
Governor LaughtOn. As we have said
once before, in this connection, Cover
nor Black owns three shares out of
$50 in the HERALD, and has not been
inside Of the HERALD building ten
times since il was erected. The APP
pointment he holds is on a committee
to locate a school and the emoluments
of the Office wouldn't pay his natural
expenses In attending to the
duties connected with the appoint
ment. The editor is appointed to
assist in appraising some tide-lands,
which work will probably last about
two weeks, and the pay therefor, we
understand, will be So per day for the
of uf lan l.
These are the high aud vastly remun-
erative and fame-begetting Offices
which the editor Of the Review would
indicate are brides that control the
editorial utterances Of the HERALD
and the opinions and integrity of its
editor.
That the Review editor will make
himself guilty Of such utterances is
made stranger by the fact that this
editor has been his close friend for
several years and has had strong reason
TO believe that he was possessed Of the
esteem and kindly consideration Of
the editor Of the Review. The Spokane
paper in the same article intimates
that the HERALD is dead-set against
Governor Ferry coming home to do
ing this, that and the other.
Governor Ferry would himself pro-
nounce this false, because he
knows that the HERALD has
always been his devoted friend,
and its editor peculiarly so.
IL has always been our pleasure to
sincerely write and speak Of governor
Ferry as a wise aud patriotic official
end as a gentleman of the strictest
integrity and general nobility of char
acter. We have had the strongest
proofs OF his confidence and esteem.
and have been anXiously sOlicitous
concerning his health and personal
welfare. The HERALD is loyal TO him
as the governor Of Washington when
he is performing the functions Of his
high Office, and il is loyal 90 his rep
resentative in that Office. 1t always
will be, so long as both shall act as
they think best for the veal Of
Washington, and we believe that will
be so long as either Of the gentlemen
referred to may be in the gubernator-
ial chair. The HERALD's editors
claim the right, as citizens of Wash
ington and as lifelong journalists, to
have opinions on public questions at
variance, If necessary, with the Spo-
kane Review, and all the other
newspapers in the world, if circum-

THE SUMNER GIRL.

She's coming with the flowers that will bloom
for US once more,
She's coming with the breezes that will blow
along the shore.
The sun will kiss her ringlets and will tinge
her cheeks with brown,
While he who loves her madly grapples fate
and tolls in town.
And Cupid, with the arrows that he's given her
to twirl,
viii guard anew the footsteps of the sprightly
summer girl.
When robin redbreast hops around while yet
tits early dawn,
And tennis players dot the green Of grassy
field and lawn,
Wen see her dressed In percale, with a walk
ing stick in hand,
And in her brothers necktie will she stroll
along the sand;
And where the crowd Is thickest In the sum-
mer hotel whirl,
viii bloom once more the beauty of the charm
ing summer girl.
With glossy collar shining in the light Of sum
mes days,
With vest and sash and blazer we will learn
anew her ways
Young Cupid will instruct us how TO pierce the
thin disguise
OF masculine attire that hides tho maiden
heart we prize;
And when once more we claim her as the sum
mer's priceless pearl,
Wen hail the smiling features of tho jolly
summer girl.

A curiosity in the way of shoes is one
which belonged to Louis XIV, said to be
preserved in a palace in Venice. On its
heel, we are told, the Dutch painter Van
loo portrayed battle scene with wonder
full neatness of execution for so large a sub
ject on so small a scale. An interesting
addition to collections of such curiosities
would be the lady's shoes which, it is said,
were recently worn at a ball in Paris. In
the leather near the toe of each was insert

A Game Called Trunk Packing.

This game requires good memory and
some ingenuity. The first person says, Il
pack my sisters Tor any other relative's)
trunk with her best bonnet" The second
continues, 81 pack my sisters trunk with
her camels hair shawl and her best bon
net" The third takes it up with, 81 pack
my sisters trunk with box of tooth pow
der her camel's hair shawl and her best
bonnet" The fourth person in the party
adds, II pack my sisters trunk with a
pair of nickel plated scissors, a box of tooth
powder, her camel's hair shawl and her
best bonnet" The next player then says,
II pack my sisters trunk with box of
sewing machine needles, pair of nickel
plated scissors, box of tooth powder, her
camel's hair shawl and her best bonnet. 1"
Thus the game proceeds, each one mention
ing some new article to go into the trunk
and repeating the list given by his prede-
cessor.
If blunder occurs, for which, of course,
every one is on the alert, "Haltv' is called,
and the delinquent either drops out of the
game or else pays forfeit named by some
member of the party whom he selects as

repeat the ever increasing list, which will

An old fashioned we'll can be carried out
as follows: First procure round box
(minus the lid) 211 inches in diameter and
the same in depth. Cover this with silver
paper, adding rims of gold perforated card
one-half inch wide top and bottom. Glue
two strips of strong cardboard one-half
inch wide at opposite sides of the box. They
should be about So inches in height, and
the tops snould be pointed and connected
by wire, which helps TO carry the roof;
they are further strengthened by the addi-
ton of cross pieces of cardboard, fastened
on about inch from the top of the sup
ports. Directly under these crossbars a
strong wire supporting cork Ito which Is
fastened the chain and bucket) is run
through the supports. When the wire has
been passed through the second support it
is then bent suddenly downward about 3
inches; a small wooden handle can be at
tached to the end. The roof is formed of q
piece of cardboard, 5 inches by inches;
this, with the supports, is covered with red
paper fancifully decorated with gold. The
lining of the well should also be red. Part
of toy silver watch chain answers adj
mirably for the well rope; it is secured to
the cork by a small tack. A tiny wooden
or tin bucket can be bought at any toy
shop and affixed to the end. If properly
made it should really wind up and down
in the most realistic manner possible.

A Fashion for Women.

Among the various amusements once
| monopolized by men, but in which ladies
now take their fullest share, driving GER
| tainly seems to he the one most in vogue.
If one may Judge, that is to say, by the
constantly increasing number of vehicles
driven by fair charioteers, which crowd
streets and parks and meet the eye on any
country road.
The smart two wheeled dogcart of var
nished wood, with a dandy groom behind,
seems to have replaced the low basket pony
carriage, once considered to be the only
ladylike equipage which a lady could drive;
but beside these, stanhopes, with high seated
Jehus and park phaetOns, with their hand
some pairs of horses, may be seen in any
numbers in our thoroughfares, driven by
ladies, young and old, skillful and the re-
verse, attired in Newmarket jacket and
white cravat, or in the more unpretending
guise of ordinary fashion. We see them
pilot their way through the crowded streets
with cool nerves and light hands, and
courage unfailing amid the throng of ON
nibuses, bicycles, wagons and cabs in a
manner much to be admired. They even
aspire to the difficult tandem, with its self
willed leader
Health gains no doubt by these robust
outdoor exercises; nervousness, neuralgia
and the overstrain Of modern life are most
successfully combated by outdoor life, fresh
air, and the enlivened spirits thus acquired.
1t is no longer considered either uulady
like or unfeminine to drive well and skill
fully. 1t is, in fact, like swimming or ten
mis-, an amusement which may fairly be
shared in by women without detriment
either to their refinement or their charm.
OF course there is an element of risk. To
drive tandem successfully and safely needs
the presence of a steady and experienced
groom, for the cleverest and best behaved
of leaders may indulge in occasional yaga-
ries which require a little restraint. Tan
dem is attended with less excitement to all
concerned in country roads than in town
streets, where n accident may easily occur.
1t is a pretty sight to see fair women,
some mounted, in riding equipment OF
workmanlike perfection, and others in
their light carts, with the trim ponies hog
named and clipped in a superior polo man
ner; while Others, merely frivolous, in low
phaetons come out simply TO see and be
seen in their finest clothes.
