THE REBELLION.
The alleged Kolao member, Ii
Kwei-chien, was received on his ar
rival at Marking by over a hundred
soldiers, who acted as escort from
Hsiaokwan to the Viceroy's yamen.
His examination was conducted
with the greatest secrecy, and no
one has been able to get even a hint
as to what the dispositions were.
Ii Kwei-chien was then taken to
the magistrates yamen and con-
signed to separate cell, apart
from the prison where Ii Hien-mow
was locked up. It is said that Ii
Kwei-chien was never a good char
acter and was disoWned by his
father. He married the neice of
the late General Ii Sze-chung, the
father of Ii Hien-mow.
Contradictory reports concerning
the fate of the captured chiefs are
still in circulation. 1t is supposed
that the successful General, Yeh,
wished to grace his triumph by
dragging these wretches to Peking,
but Ii opposed it from personal
motives. He did not want his
General to come between himself
and the Imperial sunshine. The
last report is that two of the I'M
fortunate are on their way to the
Viceregal seat
The general estimate of the i'm
portance of the so-called rebellion
is rapidly diminishing. The Court
was frightened, being helpless, and
both Ii Hung-chang and the Gen
erals saw their opportunity to earn
cheap laurels by playing up to the
weakness of the throne.
JAPAN NOTES.
The late elections in Japan were
conducted generally without ex-
element, though in several places
faction fights have occurred which
resulted fatally in some cases.
Mr.. Inata, the unsuccessful can
didate of the third district of To-
kio, intends to contest the seat of
Mr.. Nakazawa, who, although an
equal number of votes were polled
for each, was awarded the seat by
virtue of seniority.
According to home paper one
of the daughters of Count Inouye,
formerly Japanese Minister for
Foreign Affairs, has become a
Christian and taken the name of
Augusta. She was confirmed in
Berlin a short time ago. Her sister
and brother-in-law are still Bud
dhists.

the caps OF the men are usually dark, though
they are trimmed with all shades Of borderp and

policemen, as q rule, have red bands about their
caps. Some OF the private soldiers wear caps
OF white. Others wear caps like Tam O'Shanters,

have green bands about their caps and others
blue, and in short there IL every possible

peasant from the wilds Of north Russia to the
brimless astrakhan, which, with its red silk
crown, covers the head of the cartridge
breasted Caucasian soldiers. The overcoats
OF the people from the different parts Of tho

The church Is perhaps the richest Of all Rus

sands Of priests who are supported BY the peo-
pie are, q a class, the finest LOOKING men in the
world. They never shave nor cut their hair
and their locks are a. silky O. those Of baby,
and they stream down their bacls, reaching Of
ten almost TO the waist. Their faces are rosy
and plump, and showing out under the high
black caps which they wear on the streets and
over their long black gowns they look wonder
fully handsome and noble. During their serv-
ices in the churches they take OF their caps and
their hair hov: back from their high forehsads,
making you think Of ths patriarcks Of old, and
during many Of the services they appear in
gowns Of silver and gold and wear greet tiara

all they could want. The poor have been so
poor that there was no chance for them to get
more than enough for mere existence and 30
with no ambition but for the day both classes
have been rushing madly along until they are
now at the end Of their rope and q turn will

Today 1t would all be gone tomorrow, and our

ton and thrift. For this reason many of the
best business establishments Of the country are

most Of the factories here are owned by for
eigners"

Il think NE are gradually learning" was the
reply. This famine has taught Us much. and
there Is a steady though very slow movement
toward better business methods and better
ideas Of life The Russian peasant is, however,
bard to change, and the great trouble is that he
seems to have an entire lack Of ambition. He
II sstished with his hut and his poverty. When
you can get our people to want socks instead of
rags about their feet, and when they think they
need drawers under their calico pants, you viii

A CoIIector,s Troubles.

From the London Daily News.
Collectors sometimes indulge in odd faneies.
Mr.. Edward Hammond Of Leominster appears
TO have a fancy for collecting human skulls.
One day last month he was in the Priory
churchyard in that town when the sexton, like
that famous grave digger who remembered the
kings jester before his flashes Of merriment
had ceased 10 set the tables on n roar cast up a
skull Upon this Mr.. Hammond stopped down,
picked up the grim relic and placing IL In q
handkerchief, together with some grass, was
seen to walk away with il. Subsequently the
skull, having been washed. was seen, IL Is said,
in Mr.. Hammonds Office, but the business got
wind and made a talk. and finally no less Q
body than the home oaice authorities were in
duced 20 take up the matter. II was in sccord-
ance with orders from the home Office that the
deputy chief constable sought out Mr.. Hsm-
mond the other day in Leominster market and
demanded the restoration of that skull" Mr..
Hammonds answer that ii was no longer
in his possession. He had ''reinterred it," he
said. Besides. in doing he had Conducted
proper burial service over it." More he
could scarcely do, but the authorities were not
yet appeased. Mr.. Hammond has been charged
in the Leominster police court and convicted Of
unlawfully removing human remains from .
burial place. The magistrates, however, seem
10 have thought that he had done vell-nigh
enough 20 atone for his indiscretion. for while
they fined him only one shilling, they ordered
that the costs should be paid by the prosecu-
ton.

Making Up with = Prince.

The Hon L. Tollemache in The Fortunately Review.
The following story would seem incredible Il
my father had not heard il from an seyewitnsss.
When Col Lennon (afterward Duke Of Rich
mond) called out and nearly shot the Duke Of
York The indignation of the royal family and
their friends was extreme. After q time how
ever. the prince regent forgave the audacious
duellist and quite Unexpectedly asked him 10
dinner. large party was awaiting the arrival
of their ROYAL host, when. to their amazement,
Col Lennox was announced Being received
with silence and cold looks he resolved TO mark
his sense of the courtiers' disapprovaL So he
laid down two chairs side by side on the hoor
and leapt over them. Being a man Of singular
activity he repeated this little comedy, after
LAYING third chair over the first, and again
after LAYING fourth on the second and again
after LAYING nth on the summit At this last
jump, however, his foot caught the topmost
chair and the pile scattered over the floor
AT this moment the prince entered the room
and in astonishment asked the unreasonable
athlete what on earth he was about. Really,
sir, replied the unabashed visitor. ''it is most
unfortunate. No one spoke a word and had
10 amuse myself. But l sincerely hope that
none of your royal hiehness' chairs is broken"
The prince laughed and the matter blew over.
''No one but thorough gentleman" said my
father. who used 10 pronounce this word with
a peculiar emphasis and TO employ it in Q some-
what narrowly exclusive sense, "could have

Gold an Silver Paints and Inks Arc Of Cop
per and Zinc.
The adage that all is not gold that glitters
was never SO true as now, when one can see in
any paint shop window great quantities of
what looks like powdered silver and gold, gilt
tering and beautiful to the eye, offered for sale
for making fancy paints and inks.
These powders not only counterfeit gold and
silver to admiration, but are Of many exquisite
colors besides, from brilliant flame tint to the
green Of the emerald and the blue Of the
sapphire. Nevertheless, they are all made out
Of q simple mixture Of copper and zinc. The
two metals are first melted together. According
to the proportions used the resultant mixture
is termed "copper"" erich gold" s.pale gold. -
"green gold" and ''silver." After the mixtures
have cooled they are rolled out into sheets and
then beaten to thinner sheets. almost like gold
or silver 'leaf," by means Of steam tripham-
mers. Next the sheets are stamped to powder
with stamps that work somewhat like those
used in mining operations. There are further
processes by which the beautiful differentiated
shades are produced.
For this purpose the powders are put into
copper pots and exposed TO heat in an oven.
whercupon the most wonderful transformations
ensue. To watch them one might imagine that
he was observing the magical transmutations Of
the alchemist. A little heat applied to the
copper powder turns IL to fame color; with q
little more 1t changes to crimson, and with .
little more 1t becomes bright carmins. In IKE
manner the 'rich gold" powder becomes sue
