General. the Marshal aud his depu-
ties, the sheriffs and police are in

1t is we'll known, that for several
years past the number of China
men leaving the kingdom has con-
siderably exceeded the numbers
coming in, and that there arefewer
Cinnamon in the kingdom by sew
eral hundreds than there were four
years ago. Tie principal consumers
of opium then, among this class, are
reduced in proportion. There is
probably more opium IN the king
dom now than is usual. That
which is not consumed by the Chi
nese is probably used by the ma
tives.
But they too have diminished in
number, so that what we see now
is, larger supply of the drug and
q smaller number of consumers,
and this must effect, first fall in
price, and secondly an increasing
consumption, both by reason of
habitual users increasing the dose,
and secondly the cheapness attract
ing those who have hitherto been
deferred by the high price of the
article. Either way. this Is the
question the solution Of which is in
the hands of the officials.

Room for Reform.

Lawyers, in addressing juries.
are apt to think themselves licensed
TO say just what they please; and
they often please to say things that
have no relevancy to the matter
in hand, aud no foundation in the
evidence, but which, as they sup
pose, may have some influence in
affecting the verdict. The Court
Appeals of New York state recent
ly laid down the following just
principle us the rule of law on this
subject:
"Where counsel, in summing up,
proceeds to dilate upon facts not IN
evidence, or to press upon the jury
considerations which the jury
would have no right to regard. it
is. we conceive, the plain duty of
the court upon objection made to
interpOse; and refusal to inter
pose where otherwise the right of
the party would be prejudiced,
would be legal error"
1t was on this ground that the
Court of Appeals reversed the
judgment rendered in the court
below. and ordered a new trial.
The rule thus laid down is certain
ly one that commends itself to com
mon sense; aud this ought to make
1t good law. IN. Y. Paper.

TIMELY TOPICS.---H.

The Government should move in
the matter of an exhibit at the
Worlds Fair. If the undertaking
is pushed vigorously, the next
Legislature will surely supply the
needed funds. The business men
would probably assist when con-
WINGED that a creditable display
would be made. 1t is not easy to
state what would be the best plan
for an exhibit. But anyway the
sttractiveness of this country as a
resort for tourists and health
seekers should not be overlooked.
An exhaustive series of photo
graphs, views, and paintings
would be an attractive feature. An
appropriate pamphlet should be
distributed.

GAMES AT MARBLES.
How the Ancient Ring Taw and the Con-
queror Are Played.

How the Ancient Ring Taw and the Con-
queror Are Played.
New York Herald.1
The ancient "Ring Taw" and "The Con-
aueror" are among the best games to be
played with marbles; and, although simple,
are really of some merit. "Ring Taw'' is
PLAYED with a circle marked out six inches
in diameter, inside another which is six feet
feet in diameter. The school boys plant each
a marble within the small circle, and then
stationing themselves on the edge of the
larger circle, about three feet away, they
snap conseeutively at the center marbles.
The boy who, with his own shot, sends a
marble outside of the line, wins it and has
another chance. If a taw is struck by an
other taw, not only is the taw killed, but its
owner surrenders to the killer all the mar
bles he may have won already.
When all the marbles are shot from the
larger circle the players shoot from the spot
where their marbles stopped when struck.
If taw stays in the smaller circle its player
is "out,n and has to put into the ring all the
marbles he has won. When no marbles re-
main in the ring, and all the taws are dead,
the game is over, and some boys pockets are
q good deal heavier than they were. "The
Conuueror'' is q slightly rougher game. One
boy in this lays his marble on the ground
and another tries to break it by throwing
his own marble at it, If he does break it,
his marble counts one, and his antagonist
has to put down another.

flock seemed In fair way to suffer another
loss, and one that would be deeply felt.
Miss Martha Higgins, who had sung alto in
the choir for nearly 10 years, was very i'll.
Mr.. Henderson was truly grieved at this
visitation. Miss Martha had always been
particularly prominent in the musical affairs
of the church, through the earnestness of
her endeavors and the fact that she was
never in the key. Her illness developed
unfavorable symptoms until at length her
condition became so serious that old Mr..
Higgins, her father, called upon Mr.. Fen
derson, and with tears in his eyes warned
the pastor that another obituary poem
would be expected in about week.
Mr.. Henderson perceived that he was in
tight place. Laurels won from the muses.

no more OF a poet than am and was too
honest to take my path out of the difficulty.
He could only hope more earnestly that
Miss Martha would recover. On the con-
trary, she grew worse steadily, and the
physician gave no encouragement. On the
second evening after Mr.. Higgins call, his
daughters associates in the choir went to

Leader would soothe his sorrow, and he

oblige him, but I can no more write poetry

Mr.. Bridges that 1 was not on speaking
termsaowith the muses., but he wouldn't hear
of it; and at last had to consent. But I
bound him to absolute secrecy by series of
VOWS that made him turn pale to the tip of
his chin whiskers.
The next day struggled with the verses,
but they wouldn't come I wrote only one,
and in that was compelled to make Bridges
rhyme with religious in order to get the
proper sentiment into the lines. They did
not satisfy my fine critical instincts; so, in
the afternoon. I hunted up my grandmoth-

The Poem Made a Hit.
They were printed on the day of the fun

most gratifying feature of the occasion.
They were the talk of the town, and many
women who had made things very uncom-
Portable for Mrs. Bridges. during her life
were affected to tears by this poetic cata-
logue of her virtues. When they felt these
attacks of emotion coming on they called
upon the Rev. Harold Henderson and wept
on his shoulders because they attributed the
verses to him.
He was a modest and truthful man, and
at first he fatty denied the authorship of
this little gem; but the women wouldn't
believe him. There stood his initials in
cold type as a signature to the poem, and
the verses breathed forth all the tenderness
and good will which characterized this man.

wANAMAKER CRACKS A JOKE.
He Wasn't Aware There Had Been a Drop

He Wasn't Aware There Had Been a Drop
in Gold.
During President Harrison's call at the
Denver mint, the bullion room ttas the last
place visited, says the Rocky Mountain Ne,cs
The party had gone hurriedly through the
other departments, but when they saw the
piles of massive silver bricks ready for free
coinage they fingered awhile. The men
were at work taking the molten metal from
the retort and pouring it into the molds,
which when cool represented about S11 900
each. Turning from the molds to the
bullion pile a huge gold brick weighing
LII ounces and worth about S25, 900 was
discovered.
1t caused great deal of comment and j ohm
Wanamaker essayed the task of lifting it.
He was told that if he carried it a quarter of
a mile he could keep it. He didn't believe
he cared that much for gold, and, after
lifting it, he replaced it on the top of the
pile. The President asked him if it was
heavy.
''Try it," said John.
With mighty effort, the President lifted
it few inches, and, in setting it back,
down came the brick on the floor, missing
Wanamaker's toes by mere trife. EVERY
body laughed, and the Postmaster General
said:

this is the first time have seen fall in

Excellent Black Fruit Cake.
Hints for the Housekeeper,

THE best authorities say that it is wise to
regard milk as raw food. 1t should be
boiled as soon as it comes into the house. 1t
is well known that disease germs may be
carried in milk, and boiling destroys them.
KEEP butter covered tight when put in the
ice chest. 1t will not then absorb the odor
of any food lying near:
IN cooking rhubarb first scald with boiling
water pour off, and add little fresh water
By this process much OF the sour taste will
be taken out, less sugar will be required,
and the flavor will be more pleasant.
IF meat is wanted for itself alone, and not
for soup, plunge into boiling water, and salt
it when almost done.
. VEGETABLES should be put into fast boiling
water, salted and placed on the range when
they will continue to boil rapidly until
tender.
For labels put a tablespoonful of brown
sugar into quart of paste and it will fasten
them as securely to tin cans as to wood.
To remove paper labels from old bottles,
wet the face fthe label with water and hold
The steam penetrates the label at once and
softens the paste.
TO clean carpets, add little turpentine to
a pail OF hot water Wiring out cloth or
sponge in it, wipe under the heavy piece of
furniture, and sweep the rest OF the carpet
with broom dipped in the water,
AIR the spare bed regularly, even when
not in use, and remove all covering except a
spread Atmospheric moisture will pene-
trate all woolen fabrics.
To clean sieyes quickly scrub them in hot
times in clean boiling water and shake dry.
Do not use soap.
To freshen leather chair seats, rub them
with the well-beaten white of an egg.
INSECT powder sprinlled about bedsteads
is likely to indicate to guest the presence
of vernin, although such may not be the
case. An invisible remedy, and one quite as
effective as a preventive, is strong brine.
Wash the Stats and cleats thoroughly
with it.
For cleaning mating, damp corn meal, or
wheat bran sprinkled over it is excellent.
When the mating requires washing, use hot
milk and salt. This solution may also be
used on willow goods.
WASH chamois leather in tepid water, using
soap freely. If the chamois is very much
soiled, give a seconds.suds. Rinse in tepid
water and squeeze dry-do not wiring. Hang
where it will dry readily, and snap and pull
until dry. Washing and pulling in this man
ner will make the leather soft as new.
SILVER and plated articles that have be-
come dull or furnished, may be easily
cleaned by immersing them in hot water
(salted), in which potatoes have been cooked
Rub with woolen rag and rinse in clear
water. Fermented potato water is still bet
ter for cleaning silver articles. Caraffes and
decanters are also made bright and clean by
the use of this water. ELLIcE SERENA.

tongue-shaped pieces worked with jet is
charming, while the introduction of black
velvet draperies about the decalletage is
eminently fitted to set oil pair of white

of these things, and it is this constant
desire to place the lady whom he dresses in
the best possible light that lifts him above
