Mr. Bal rour, in his Leaves from Ny
Chinese Scrap Book, says that a most
amusing chapter in the history of official
etiquette in China might be written
under the heading Of The Emperor Is
Thanked" He says he Is reminded by
this Chinese formality Of pedagogue
who always insisted on his pupils thanks
on every occasion. If he asked a boy
what time it was, the proper form for
his reply was, 'Half-past 2, sir, thank
you"
The constitutional maxim, 1.-THE king
can do no HARM" might, in Chinese
official language, be translated, 1.-THE
emperor can do nothing that is not be-
nevolent."
An amusing incident occurred not
long ago in connection with Manchu
officer of high rank, Wulahsich- ungah,
the president of the board OF ceremonies
This gentleman returned thanks for the
honor of having been invited to sacri-
fetal feast by the emperor, and the next
day a terrible snubbing was admins
tered to him.
1t appears that the emperor had not
invited him at all, and was much aston
ished.
''His name," says the decree, ''does
not appear in the list of guests approved
by us, and in thus thanking us he has
been guilty of great piece of careless
ness.
The committee of the board of punish
ments allotted penalty to poor Wulah-
sich-ungah, who should, according to
etiquette, have been grateful for that
also, though his thanks are not recorded.

Recovering Tin from Dye water.

water from silks which have been treated
with bichloride of tin for the purpose OF
giving weight. By adding milk of lime

Years after the war General and Mrs. Sher
man gave dinner to Gen. Grant, and during
the preparation Of the dinner Mrs. Sherman
had occasion to visit her kitchen. There she
saw beautiful quadroon, who was assisting
the cook who had been emplo, ed for the occa-
sion. She was SO struck with the likeness of
the girl to the picture carried by the General
that she called the General, who, on seeing the
girl and comparing the picture, was sure that
she was the original of the daguerreotype which
had been the means Of saving his life. He
questioned the girl, and she told of their former
meeting, and said "You are Gen. Sherman, but
l did not know who you were when / saw you
in Georgia during the war; The General and
his wife secured employment for Nina, and
later when she was married aided her materially
in fitting up her house. In time Nina became
the mother OF twin boys, one of whom was
named William for the General, and the other
Charles, after her late employer. Mrs. Sher-
man gave the twins their baptismal robes, and
the family have ever since shown a lively in
terest in the welfare of Nina and her boys.

STORIES OF GEN. SHERMAN.
GRANT CALLED HIM THE GREATEST
MAN IN AMERICA.
How Slerman's Life Was Once Saved by
the Picture of Little Quadroon Child
Whose Beauty Struck Him.

A well-known lawyer of this city, whose
fatherin-law, Gen. Harner, appointed Gen.
Grant as a cadet to West Point, tells this story,
which portrays Grants simple, straightforward
honesty and gives for the first time what Grant
thought of Sherman: "In the last year Of the
war Gen. Grant sent word by member Of his
staff that he wished me to visit him at his head
quarters near City Point l went down with
Gen. Rufus Ingalls, and Horace Porter. Grant
had line OF railroad running from his head
quarters to a point west from where they were
located and every night large number of
officers would come up to hear the news.
About forty feet from tIe entrance to his
marquee large log fire was burning, and
about this fully hundred officers of all grades
were gathered on the night in question. About
this time Sherman was being very much talked
of on account OF his peculiar movements in the
South, when he had left Thomas at Nashville,
and was permitting Hood to slip between him
and Thomas Grant was engaged at the time
in telling me of a coon hunt (which he and three
or four others engaged in on one occasion in
his younger days while he lived in Brown
County, Ohio which story was occasionally
interrupted by his stepping into his tent to
answer despatch or confer with his chief of
staff, Gen. Rawlins. The officers sitting about
the log fire began discussing Sherman, and
when Grant returned to where [ was seated the
conversation had berome very warm and ami
mated, and he was just relating how one of his
party tried to climb the tree for the purpose of
shaking the coon from the limb upon which 1t
was resting, when an officer, a major, who
stood near by, uttered a remark rather more
severe than any that had been overheard (all of
which had been purposely spoken for Grants
ears) concerning Shermans actions Gen.
Grant turned around and facing the group of
officers quietly knocked the ashes from his cigar
and said, Gentlemen, 1 do not think it neces-
sary to discuss Gen. Sherman nor his acts at
this time He is the greatest man in America
to-day He then continued his story about the
coon hunt. glanced around in about fifteen
minutes and out of the hundred officers who
were present when he spoke those honest words
in defense of Sherman only six or seven re-
mained."

During Gen. Sherman's march to the sea he
rode up to fine plantation in the neighborhood
of Macon, Ga, one bright afternoon, and in
quired of black-eyed girl child, who was
standing at the front gate of the house ap-
preached, if he could get glass of water, and
added, "Is your mother at home ?'' The child
replied that he could to the first part of his
question, and then said: "I have no mother.
/ was found in blackjack stump but Lottie
Is inside and will call her." The General and
his officers alighted and entered the house. They
were met by Lottie, who was Mrs. Garner, the
wife of Col Garner, the owner of the planta-
tion. He and his staff were politely received
and a good meal was furnished them The
General was SO struck with the beauty and in.
telligence of the little black-eyed girl that he
made some inquiries about her. Mrs. Garner
Informed him that Nina was guadroon, the
child of former house slave, who had been
sold when Nina was quite young, and she had
been told that she was found in "black-jack
stump" to keep the disposition of her own
mother from her. Nina had had her daguerreo-
type taken at the same time as that of Col.
Garners children, and Gen. Sherman was so
taken with the likeness that it was given to
him. He said that she the most beautiful
quadroon that he had ever laid his eyes upon
in the South. A guard was placed upon the
plantation by the Generals orders, and he took
his leave with the picture in his coat pocket.
In one Of the many battles which followed this
episode a stray bullet struck the General, and
would have penetrated his heart but it stopped
at the metallic back of Mina's picture, which
doubtless saved his life.

The Depopulation of France.

France lost 1852 inhabitants in
1890. Although 1t has long been
the fashion to speak of the popula-
ton OF France as diminishing. or at
the very least as stationary, this is
the first year since the "annee ter
rlble," 1901, when there has not
been a slight increase of births
over deaths. NJ. Jules Simon, while
bearing testimony to the gravity of
phenomenon which threatens to
reduce France to the rank of second
class powers, is strongly of the
opinion that legislation is capable
OF coming to the rescue of his coun-
try. What France wants, accord
ing to him, is state restriction upon
female labor, as in England. The
excessive number of hours worked
by many women is, he says, most
