The corner Of Jackson and Dupont
streets witnessed as heathenish a scene
yesterday morning as any four corners in
Chinatown ever presented.
1t was aboa5 1879 o'clock and the mar
row thorouglfaro was crowded, but the
crowd made no difference to the Mongols
who gathered there to perform their
heathenish rites. First a bonfire was
built Ia the middle Of the street, then
biz GEL lon idol fully three feet tall was
carried out and placed in the center OF
the ,imoes Twenty-four bowls Of rice
were laid out in circle about The fire 4;
SIX bowls of fat came next and then four
roasted chickens.
A crowd Of Chinese gathered with un-
covered heads First one salaamed to
he idol, then another, then another. A
tom tom was sounded until those in the
distance thought a boiler factory had
started up near by
The big idol grinlad and griuued and
gr,uned, and did nothing but grin, albeit
the flames We're fast consuming his Codly
person. And as the idol grinned the
heathen worshippers grinned, until it be-
came q grnning match all around.
Him bad lucEee," said Tin Chum,
who was asked to explain the queer per-
formwccs. 1t seems that the family of
Bod Ding Lee were consuming an old
patron idol Of the family because he
brought i'll fortune on the house Last
week Bod Chee was locked up as a va.
grant and on Wednesday Bod Lung fell
i'll and died. So on Friday the patron
idol was burned aliye,-San Francisco

Modieska's account Of how she learned
English is a lesson to those who would
triumph in their undertakings. Located
in San Francisco, with her husband and
boy lying sick in the mountains of south
California. the pluclSy Polish woman
started in with vim to conquer our Lam
guage, so that she might speak it upon
the stage. Her first teacher was a Ger
man, and several weeks We're wasted in
learning English which was favored
with such a strong German accent that
it all had to be unlearned. The next
teacher was a young Polish woman who
spoke excellent English, and who taught
Nine. Modjeska each day from in the
morning until o'clock at night. Her
first appearance was such a decided sue.
ress that Modjeska telegraphed just ono
word TO herhusband, and that word was,
Victory" In Modjeska's own words,
"a new career ina new country was open

Francisco no more called me to their cold
embrace

Jack Tar's Plea in His Own Paper.

The sailors of the United States flag.
ship Philadelphia publish little paper
which is called "The Philadelphia
Print" A good paper it is, too. The
last edition is issued at Port-au-Prince.
The whole paper makes one proud to be
an American, and shows that the intelli-
gence of the days when the Constitution
sailed the seas with 300 New England
lreeholders on her triumphant deck have
not been followed by decadence. Among
other articles is one which should COM
mend itself to the Naval authorities. 1t
is as follows:
at sounds very pleasant and one is
proud to hear our new vessels spoken of
as being modern steel cruisers, all the
material and guns made in the United
States, not a rlvet thar is not American,
can steam twenty knots, fitted with cleo
tricity and telephones, ard all have the
latest ideas, etc.-but with all this can
Jack make a modest request.
''In number of ways Jack is not as
comfortable in the modern ship as he
was in the old navy, or in other words
these modern improvements are good
deal like an Irish promotion, for all these
new ideas and modern science take space.
Jacks living and berthing quarters in
the modern ship are not as roomy or as
comfortable as in the oak sailing arks Of
a quarter of a century ago.
"Of necessity Jacks work is not as
clean as in the old ships, but still his
pride is just as great; his ship is his own
private yacht; he owns her while at
tached to her, yet no provision is made
for cleansing himself after compartment
or double bottom work. Much less
bath tub. In number of foreign men
of-war clean bathrooms are shown both
for liremen and crew.
"Could not even a couple of shower
baths be fitted in the new ships, espe-
cially the larger ones, and then we would
laugh at hard work, for in the morning,
and when in the tropics, our shower
will refresh and cool us off and Wen be
ready for more work"
This coming as it does from the sailors
themselves, should have weight.-NeO
York Tribune.

Married the Family.

A story of Florida man who married
three wives from one family is going the
rounds as something remarkable, but
there was family in Maine consisting OF
six girls, and of the six three married
men named Bickwell, three married to
the name of Young, one married Liver
more and one never was married. An
other paradoxical feature is that there
were only five husbands in all. The eX-
PLANTATION is that two of the Bickwells
died, leaving widows, aud Mr.. Young,
who had two of the sisters before, took
one of the widows. Then Mr.. Liver
more took the other. So that there
were seven weddings in the family, and
only five men and five women concerned
in them. Mr.. Young had lost one wife
before he began on this family y.-Aaa-
