Some Remarkable Pipes.

Mr.. N. G. Barney, retired New York
banker, has an interesting collection of
pipes. One Of them represents the trunk
of an old tree, around which are grouped
a party of sporting gentlemen with their
guns and dogs, enjoying a hunters meal.
One of the members of the party is clev-
erly shown to be cutting with his jack
knife the name N. G. Barney on the
trunk of the tree, to commemorate, no
doubt, the occasion. Each figure is a
correct likeness of an individual men,
ber of the party. The owners name is
also carved on each of the game bags,
and the delicate network around them is
true to nature.
In this collection are also few pipes
that came from Alaska. They were
made of walrus tusks by the Eskimos.
Another remarkable piece is a cigar
holder, on which is carved Gordon set
ter, favorite dog belonging to the
owner. 1t is perfect image of the dog,
and from smoking the meerschaum had
acquired a brownish red color, which is
exactly the color of the dog.-Collector

Public Office in China.

The Chinese system of government
lacks entirely the progressive and uni
flying element of popular election. The
people have no voice in the choice of
their rulers, and the rulers consider the
people as so many sheep to be fieeced.
The officials are paid starvifgly low
salaries, and many offices are openly
bought. Corruption and extortion may
therefore be said to be almost sane
toned, the only restraint being the dread
of insurrection and the power of guilds,
clans and secret societies. There is i'm
perfect protection from robbers and
pirates, many. villages preferring to sub
sidize robber bands rather than to have
to deal with the worse form of robbery
practiced by the oficials.-West

A Customer-Give me dozen shirts
Shopkeeper-Here you are, sir, the
best quality.
Customer-How much?
Shopkeeper-One fifty each.
Customer-All right, wrap them up.
Now, how much are these socks?
Shopkeeper-Fifty cents a pair.
Customer-Well, I'll take three dozen
pairs instead of the shirts.
The socks are done up and the GUS
toner starts for the door with the bundle.
Shopkeeper - Hold on there, you
haven't paid for those socks.
Customer-Certainly not. Itook them
in exchange for the shirts.
Shopkeeper-Yes, but you didn't pay
for the shirts.
Customer-Certainly not, because
didn't take them.
Shopkeeper-That's fact, and he
spends the next half hour trying to make

WHAT THE BABY WANTED.

Perhaps Parents and Nurses May Learn
Lesson from This Child's Journal.
DR.. Custer gave German newspa-
per the brief but pathetic journal of a
baby who, after thirteen days in this
world, departed, leaving these refec-
tions for our instructions:
First Day-W Wonderful, heavenly At
last am in this beautiful world! Who
would have thought it, that one could
breathe, freely breathe, and cry out
what one thinks? rejoice particularly
in the sunlight and blue sky, in the
fresh, pure air with its GOODNESS. If !
could only see and feel all this splen-
dori
Second Day-Oh, this horrible heat! l
have been deceived. This air, this
water, this light; how entirely differ
ent have imagined it would be. But
patience, all will come right by and by.
The old woman who cares for me does
not seem to understand me.
Fifth Day-Still no solution. If it goes
on this way cannot hold out long. The
whole ivelong day must lie buried in
feather cushions SO that l can scarcely
gasp down bit of air. Two linen and
one flannel binders, little shirt, fan
mel slip, q long cushion filled with feath-
ers in which l am wrapped from head
to foot, over this coverlet filled with
feathers, the curtains of my crib drawn
to, the room darkened with double cur
tains, the windows closed, so must l,
poor worm, lie from morning till even
ing. My burning skin is worse off
than the hot stove near me, which can
at least, as feel, give off its heat Oh,
that I did know what l shall do. If l
cry it brings the old woman with her
milk, which increases my misery; if my
hands are cold while my brain and skin
are burning, she brings few more
wraps. turn my half closed eyes from
side to side seeking help, and my tor
mentor says "the baby shivers,' and
really heats the horrible things at the
stove. Will no one come to my relief?
Tenth Day-Again fearful night!
cry, but l am not understood. / must
drink, drink and again drink until the
stomach overfows. A half hour later
they give me something with horrible
taste from a teaspoon. Air, air, pure,
cool air, light, water! Shall then have
no help from this world?
Twelfth Day-Yesterday there was a
great council of my aunts and cousins.
Each one advised different remedy for
my sickness, but all agree that its cause
is cold. Warmth was urgently recon-
mended, and l received new kind of
infant food just discovered and some
strengthening wine, which heated my
brain yet little more, so that l was
deathly still. My body is wrapped SO
tightly with the roller that my stomach
overhows every time u teaspoonful of
anything is given. My feet are forcibly
extended and enveloped so 1 cannot
bring them up to relieve the pain, but
my feeling is gradually going. Would
that all were soon over.
Thirteenth Day-Farewell, thou beau
tiful world. Thy light and thine air
have been denied me, but thither where
l go there are no fetters.

Emile zola,s Working Hours.

Emile Zola's habits are extremely regu-
lar. He takes a walk every morning,
usually leaving his house, whether at
Medan or at Paris, about o'clock. He
lunches at midday, and writes from 1
o'clock till 6, receiving no visitors and
transacting no business in the afternoon.
He has particular liking for large and
massive pieces of furniture, so his writ
ing table and his library chairs are of
colossal proportions, as is also his ink
stand, which is in bronze and represents
a ion.-Paris Cor. Philadelphia Tele-

GROWING OLD.

Some day, looking in my mirrol,
I'll discover, here and there,
Slowly on my head intruding,
Scattering threads of silver hair;
But l do not think I'll murmur,
And l do not think I'll scold,
And my heart will not be saddened
When l see I'm growing old.
will make no lamentation
And no tear will dim my eye.
There will be no touch of sadness,
Nor vain, regretful sigh;
Youth will be u mere remembrance,
Just story that is told
But I'll not wish to recall it
When see I'm growing old.
I shall think that, of Life's battle,
OF the hard, relentless grind,
There is less ahead to conquer,
There is more that's left behind.
Nearer, then, my rest from labor
On Life's path SO bleak and cold.
So the gray hairs will be welcome
When see I'm growing old.

WASH HOUSE BURNED.
Blaze at the Chinese Laundry this
Morning.

An alarm of fire rung out from
the Bell Tower at 2:30 o'clock this
morning, and enquiries through the
telephone elected the information
that it was in the Chinese Laundry,
owned by the Government, and
located near the Chinese Theatre,
Aala. The fire originated in the
fourth room from the Bcrctania
street side of the laundry, and the
cause is unknown, although some
say that it was caused by China
man smoking opium. Several China
men, owners of rooms, were inter
viewed, but all that could be got out
of them was, "No sabc, no sabcV'
The fire department was quickly ON
the spot, the chemical engine and
China engine being located near
Smiths bridge, Berctania street, and
Engine Co. No. Is on King street
The fire laddies did excellent work
and confined the blaze to six rooms
which were completely gutted, very
little of the clothes being saved. The
wash Cinnamon stood around jab
bering and could not be induced tc
give hand. The sky in the vicinity
of the fire shone like MONDAY.
Early this morning large numbers
of people hockod to the washhoust
to ascertain whether their own
clothes were among the article
burned, but nothing definite coulc
be learned as to which was whose
and the bosses were nowhere il
sight. Half of the third room from
the mauka side was burned, but tn,
boiler and stove were not touched
and this morning the men wer
hard at work Notwithstanding thei
inconveniences.

A Hackman Goes on the Warpath
with Butcher Knife.


There was cOmmOtiOn in the
vicinity of the Criterion Saloon yes
terday afternoon about 6 o'clock.
Several of the hackmen had been
drinking, and Joe Gross and John
Radin got into an alteration. After
some hot words were used Joe Cross
struck John Radin with a glass.
This was not all, for later Cross
showed an ugly butcher knife and
made an attempt to assault Radin.
The street was crowded with people
and, the hackmen being present in
full force, further trouble was avert
ed. Radin caused the arrest of
Cross on two charges, assault and
battery, and assault with deadly
weapon. Cross was arraigned this
morning and both cases were set for
hearing on Thursday.

that he had heard it SO stated on the
