The Redwood Tree.

On the camping-g grounds of the Be-.
hemian Club on Austin Creek, aud in the
Armstrong tract near GuerneviIie, one
finds the lowland redwood in perfection.
In such places there are often rings of
great trees inclosing pits FIVE Or six feet
deep, and thirty, forty or even fifty feet
in diameter. Each of these pits is sup
posed to show where the venerable an.
cestor of the surrounding circle of trees
once stood. Long before it fell, in
Vulnerable sprouts grew from the yet
living roots. Afterward, when the
giant yielded, the rains washed new soil
into the "bottoms" from the mountain
sides, 70 fill the deep chasm. For CEN
fury or so there was struggle among
the children of the fallen monarch, and
at last only seven or eight remained, TO
become great trees of twelve feet in diam.
eter set on the rim of the pit formed by
the decay of the roots of the ancient tree,
and each having complete root system
of its own. Other trees, seedlings of
sprouts, grow up between them, and in a
few more centuries the process of form
ing another redwood tree ring will be
repeated about the largest of the second
growth. Rings of this sort can be found
in all stages of formation in every cauon
and valley of the redwood country.
Some very large rings still show the
broken edges of the central trees roots
projecting like the slaves of barrel
around the hollow, oyergrown with ferns
and wild oxalis, or filled to the
brim with fresh spicy redwood
sprouts. The green spires of the living
forest, three hundred feet high, filter the
sir through their innumerable branches,
aud shut out all but faint blue sparkles
of the sky. The dust of one OF the pio-
neers is underfoot, and little tree OF
last years growth is struggling to gain
place. The red-bronze trunks of the
trees stand like wall, hiding the rise of
the mountains, hiding the banks of the
river, though one hears the sound of its
flow, and the splash of little trout
streams in the canons. Such groves as
this are the temples of the California
forest system. -Century.

MILL WORKERS In PERIL,
Attempt to Kill Nom Union Men at
Homestead, Pa.


A despatch from Homestead, Pa, says;
At two O'Clock in the morning an attempt
was made to blow up the Mansion House, a
boarding house in which thirty-five non
union Carnegis working men were sleeping.
A dynamite bomb was thrown into the store
room ON the first floor, which exploded.
breaking through the floors and ceilings, aud
smashing every window in the house. No
one was seriously injured.
The perpetrators of the outrage left no
trace by which they coull be discovered. A
close investigation was Immediately starte
by the police among tie striking Carnegie
workmen, who, the authorities say were the
mIscreants.
They Lave all a ong threatened that the
non-union men would come to grief if they
attempted to live outside the protection OF
the big wall at the works. The event has
caused very angry feelings to show them
selves at Home stead again.
Mrs. Harrison keeps the boarding house
She ust d to live IN Pittsburg, but went 70
Honest ad some time ago. All her board
eIs were non-union workers in the Home
stead mill and there were thirty-fiye Of
them. The dining room was on the first
floor and the sleep ng rooms on the sec nd.
In the front of the house in the dining no IN
were large show windows: for the first floor
had been built as a store. One of the side
windows had been broken for some time,
and it was through this that the perpetrators
Of the deed operated.
The cartridge struck the floor and ter
rife explosion followed. The beds on the
second floor were thrown six feet in the
air, and the occupants of the beds to the
floor
Had some explosive whose force is up
ward, instead of downward, been used, it is
probably that all the inmates of the house
would have been killed As it is, the mill
workers are terrorized, and the company
will have to put watchmen i'll the boarding
houses before they will go back again,
The utmost excitement prevailed. The
boarding house was soon surrounded by po-
lice, and the military was called out In
the darkness the perpetrators escaped. The
strike leaders say that the deed was per-
formed by others than strikers. They say
that it has been done with the purpose OF
keeping public opinion against the Carnegie
firm.

SHE de in China.

Suicide is frequent occurrence in far
Cathay, although 1t is uniformly con-
demned by the literature of the country.
Moreover, the Chinese believe that people
who kill themselves must endure ter.
rible torments in the Buddhist sheol.
Opium or hanging is preferred by most
suicides, but many also seek a watery
grave. Chinese suicides never cut their
throats, for they believe that the tor
ments of the soul will be increased by
any mutilation of the body. Since they
also believe that the spirits wear cloth
ing in the next life resembling that worn
by the deceased at the time of his death,
Monaghan suicides dress as well as
possible before they carry out their de.
termination.
Generally the suicides are committed
in lonely, out of the way locations, but
sometimes Celestials kill themselves at
night in places where the traffic is very
great during the day. Walking about
early in the morning it is not uncommon
to see the bodies of these unfortHnates
dangling from street trees or the ratings
of bridges. Female suicides generally
destroy themselves at home. Women
usually commit this crime because of
jealousy and the loss of money at gam.
bling, to which they are just as much ad-
dicted as the men.
| Many Cinnamon believe that the
suicide was induced to kill himself by
an evil spirit VINO made him present of
golden collar. Therefore, these super
stitious people hire priest to drive out
the tempting spirit wherever suicide has
been committed in one of their houses.
After the priest has concluded various
ceremonies he receives q small black dog,
block and Ratchet from the owner Of
the house. Then the priest chops off
the tail of the poor animal aud places
rope about it neck, whereupon the head
of the family drags the bowling and
bleeding dog through all the rooms of
the house and finally kicks him unmerci-
fully into the street. The dog is sup
posed to drive the evil spirits away with
his bowling and to pursue them in their
flight through the streets. To purify
| the house the priest, preceded by man
with torch, walks through all the
apartments with copper pan upon
which sulphur, saltpeter and other com
bustible substances are burned. Aud
to prevent the evil spirits from return
ing the priest places some amulets
written on red paper over the doors
before he leaves. If the suicide was
committed by hanging the beam from
which the deceased suspended himself
is replaced by new one to prevent
the soul of the departed from return.
ing and settling in the fatal rafter.
The Chinese condemn and despise
self destruction that is a consequence
of vice or passion, but express the
greatest respect Ior people who commit
suicide for reasons which they rrrIri
as noble. The gates of paral re
ajar far "honorable" suicides. -Globe.
