Tidal Waves Deluge the Gilbert Islands
Eighty Natives Perish.

SAN NCIsCo, Dec. 30 -Advices
from the south seas give startling news
from the Gilbert islands in the Pacific
by the mission bark John Williams,
now at Samoa. 1t seems that just be-
fore the bark visited the group
very severe weather prevailed, during
which there were several tidal up
heavals, the result doubtless, of sub
marine disturbances. Tidal waves
broke high over some of the Islands of
the group. causing great loss of life,
and completely demolishing houses.
At one island alone, Rev. j. W. Hills,
of the London Missionary society,
writes no fewer than eighty natives
persisted. The track of the tidal waves
is not known. but as the Gilbert group
has suffered so severely it is scarcely
probable that other islands have
escaped devastation, and further in
formation is anxiously looked for.
The Gilbert islands, or the Kings
mill group, consist OF fifteen islands of
coral formation, all low, the highest
land in the group not exceeding 20
feet, and are fast wearing away by the
action of the sea. For years past a
profitable trade in copra, shark fins.
Beche-de- Mer and the usual island
products has found its way to Sydney
from the group Americans also had
good share of business, trading YES
sells from San Francisco making prac-
tice of visiting them.

TABLE-TALK IN CHINA.
Hard Questions Propounded by an Or

Hard Questions Propounded by an ORR
entail While Dining.
Conversation at the table of Chinese
gentleman is on a high plane. 1t is
literary rather than intellectual, rem
iniscent rather than original. At times
il is dry, and even dull but it is always
clean, choice and elegant. Their class
les abound in phrases such as May
good digestion wait on appetite, and
health on both" Better is a dinner
of herbs with eontentment than
stalled OK with envy" and the like.
which are produced at each and every
opportunity with great regularity. In
direct speech they employ the Socratic
method, and convey information or in
fiict satire in the form of questions. A
few of this class might be taken to
heart by many of our fellow-eitizens,
and especially such as these:
DO European cooks ever consider
the physiological benefit or injury aris-
ing from foods?"
do Americans eat solely to please
the palate, or do they regulate their
diet according to their temperament
and condition."
why do Americans send mission
aries TO make us like themselves, when
they have more crime and criminals
than we have?"
why do your teachers, who seem in
telligent beings denounce wine. which
is wholesome when rightfully used.
and drink ditch-water, which is dirty
and full of the germs of disease always
more or less iniurious?"
"Why do you Americans injure your
stomachs with ice-cold drinks, instead
of drinking hot tea, which is bene-
| fcial?"
why do most American women
know nothing of housekeeping"
"Why should we extend every cour-
tesy to You and permit you to make
| fortunes here and carry them home
when you will not permit poor China
man even to cross your borders?"
why does the United States, the
richest country in the world, have the
| poorest navy afioat?"
Another favorite topic of conversation
is of deeds of great intellectual power
or of high moral worth. 1t is interest
| ing, but not always cheerful. to be in
terrupted in your soup by the story of
beautiful young girl who, when her
| family were starving, cut off slices
from her own body and cooked and

WORK OF CONGRESS.
Importance Attached to the Appointing
of Committees.

Importance Attached to the Appointing
of Committees.
In the DAYS of the famous statesmen
sketched and delineated by Oliver Dyer
in his ''Great Senators of the United
States" transcendent ability and per-
sonal greatness exercised a controlling
influence in the halls of congress.
When Calhoun, Benton, Clay or Web
ster supported a measure it was under
stood that he had made himself famil-
lar with all its bearings and was advo-
eating it because he believed its passage
would conduce to the welfare of the
country. Moreover, he was acknowl-
edged as a leader; his followers had
faith in him, and his eloquence and his
arguments had a powerful influence
upon the minds of his colleagues.
In those days the bills which came
before congress were so few that
whenever a measure of vital interest
was introduced it was possible for a
great party leader to examine it criti-
cally and give ample time to its con
sideration. Now it is different The
calendars of the senate and the house
of representatives are 50 loaded down
with important bills that ~ IS physl-
cally impossible for anybody to master
the details of even moiety of them.
Hence, as a matter of necessity, the
work of examining them is divided up
between the committees of either
house Every measure is referred to
the appropriate committee; the commit
tee examines and reports upon it, and
and if the report be unanimous it Is
usually accepted as conclusive, and the
bill is passed or rejected in accordance
with the report. The influence of the
committees has become so controlling
that the constitution of them is of
vital importance. They are appointed
by the presiding officer of either house
the president of the senate or the
speaker of the house of representa-
tiyes.-N V Ledger.
