In China there is no such thing as the

published in the empire, the Tin Boo

principally to the publication of official
nominations. 1t only incidentally prints
any news, and this is wholly untrust-

STORY OF PENN YAM.
Two Jealous Religious Factions Made
Compromise on the Name.

Two Jealous Religious Factions Made y
Compromise the Name.
Have you ever heard of the Jemina-
kins? And do you know how the town
of Penn Yam was christened?
IL not, it is worth while to listen to
the story that Representative Warner.
of New York, told to u Post reporter
the other day.
'Once upon time" he said, there
lived in Connecticut young woman
named JENNA Wilkinson. She died, or
at least her relatives thought she was
dead. At the funeral the coffin was
opened for the last time 10 allow the
sorrowing friends to gaze upon the sup
posed corpse. Miss Wilkinson surprised
the congregation by coming back to-
life. From that time she was a woman
with mission. She claimed that she
had passed through the gates OF death,
but that she had been sent back to the
world to be the second Redcemer. From
her resurrection, in fact was to date
the regeneration of the world.
Connecticut, with its orthodox tend
encies proved sterile ground for the

Pennsylvania, somewhere in Tioga
county, think. Here they made some
accession, but believing that they could
prosper still better in New York. they
moved their entire colony into Yates
county, in my state. Jemina was car
ried through the woods in a gorgeous
chariot drawn by her adorers La New
York they established the city Of New
Jerusalem and presently increased so
that they wanted post office. Their
religion, however, was not proof
against jealousy. and the first of the
faith, who were called Yankees because
they came from Connecticut, were in q
continual state Of warfare with the
latter worshipers, who were gathered
into the fold from Pennsylvania When
the time came TO choose the name of
the pr st Office every suggestion Of the
one faction was laughed to seorn by the
other, and day was spent in heated
but vain debate. Finally one Of the
good brethren, who had probably been
out taking drink or two, suggested n
compromise. He thought the name
sides. with Penn for the Pennsvlvanians
and Yam for the Yankees. The session
ad journed without formally ratifying
this solution Of the problem but it was
accepted next day by general consent
and Penn Yam still remains the name OF
the city. "-WashingtOn Post

.a,et.e Acsaons of women.


Throughout the whole m~iserat!s tt
lyle Harris business certain women hive
made themselves d~isagTeeably consp
Gus by an unwholesome display of mawx
ish sentiment, but it remained for a
few fanatics near Albany to give the dis
play the finishing touches. The decora.
ton Of q murderer's grave by feminine
sy~mpathizers apart from the family and
near friends was bad enough, but the
subsequent raid on and spoliation of the
flowers by q lot of idiotic women exceeds
all patient o. These women waited until
the mourn pers had departed, then rushed
forward md seized the flowers. They
may ha te been actuated by different
motives. Some doubtless wished a pre-
cious souvenir of the departed, others
perhaps merely took the flowers as a
curiosity to be exhibited to their friends.
But in any case the exhibition was Of
fensive in the last degree, and more's the
pity that the women were not arrested
for ~trespass.
1t seems almost useless to preach to
women on the absurdities of the exhibit
tions made over the last hours of muir
derers. but the Harris case and its con-
clusion have necessitated a strong re-
m~onstrance. The conduct of such wom-
en- is almost Ns much an instigation as a
conformation of murder. To hold them
up to the public and private scorn and
reproach is a duty that cannot be too
vigorously observed.-New York World.

A rather curious institution is arising
in Paris-that of dueling associates of la
dy journalists. On Saturday the lady
known as Nine. Severine, who was in
timately connected as a friend, literary
helper and disciple of NJ. Jules Wales.
contributed an article to The Journal.
at which a NJ. Massard, a socialist, took
offense. He called on M. Xau. the edi-
tor, to ask for satisfaction.
1t being impossible to call Mime. Sew
crime ont. the answer was that, in vir,
tue of a fiction adopted for the purpose
of releasing NJ. Xau from all response.
bility in such cases, Nine. Severine was
| supposed to be the joint author with NJ,
Labruyere of all her articles. He had
| agreed to be answerable for any offense
she might give.
NJ. Massard then sent seconds to NJ
| Labruyere, who, admitting that he wa:
the fighting partner of the lady, referred
| them to a couple of male friends. The
duel, which has taken place, was fierce
affair. 1t was fought with foils. In TIL,
second round M. Labruyere received
cut on the chin, but the doctors saying
that it did not signify, there were iv'
other rounds. The combat was ended
by NJ. Massard running his foil through
the forearm of NJ. Labruyere. Honor
was then declared satisfied. and NJ. LA
bruyere wasdriven back to Paris.-Lon

French Imitation Pearls.

The best grade Of French imitation
pearls cannot be distinguished from real
ones, even by the most expert jewelers..
unless the string is, handled. when the
difference in weight becomes apparent,
the real pearl being heavier than an imi-
tation one
An American lady who herself owned
valuable jewels once told me that she
and her husband were shown on n oc-
casion by her Partisan jeweler a cluster
of strings of pearls, half of which We're
real and the other half imitation, and
they were requested TO point out the
real ones. They both inspected the
pearls long and with the most minute
care, and finally indicated their choice.
The gentleman had indeed fixed upon a
string of genuine ones, but h lady,
though she continually wore and had
had in her possession for years a mag
nifcent necklace of real pearls, forfeited
| her claim for discrimination by picking
out n of the imitation ones.
The very finest of the French imita-
ton pearls are expensive, costing from
$40 to SIS a string. Oddly enough, the
longer they are kept the better they be-
come. as the passage of years lends @
yellow tinge to the wax, which causes
the pearls to look at once more lustrous
and more real. The pearls prepared fo1
embroideries, dress trimmings, ETC.. art
merely small beads filled with wax,anc
lack the careful shaping, as well as thu
inner coating of fish scale liquid tina
make the pearls manufactured for neck
laces and earrings SO perfectly deceptive
