How a Chinaman Kills a Chicken.

One might imagine that the China
man who gorges himself with broiled
rats and birds nest soup would eat any
kind of meat prepared in any manner,
but such is not the case. John China
such things as well as other people.
Many Of the almond eyed inhabitants Of
Chicago are not very good Buddhists.
Since coming to the city they have be-
come apostate. But watch the orthodox
Chinaman when he goes to the market
for his Sunday chicken. He will not
take dead one because the probabili-
ties are that the fellow who killed it was
not a believer in Gautama and may have
chopped its head off with hatchet. His
chicken must have it head on and be
very much alive.
John will so to the coop and stir the
feathered prisoners up with a stick. If
he finds one that cackles and futters
about in lively manner he will buy it.
He has no use for dumpish, sickly ap-
pearing fowl.
Having made selection he takes the
chicken home alive, gets out dirty lit
tie image, kneels before it, makes some
queer motions with his hands, mumbles
a few words, takes from a shelf or
drawer q knife with double edged
blade which is extremely sharp, and
with much ceremony whacks off the
head of the fowl. This done he returns
to the image, and kneeling again apolo-
gizes for having committed such a wick
ed deed and proceeds to prepare the
chicken for dinner.-Chicago Tribune

History of an African Boat.

A little vessel having a remarkable
history has piled for years on Lake Tan
ganyika. Her story illustrates the prog
ress in that region from slavery toward
civilization. The boat, known as the
Calabash, was originally huge tree
trunk, cut down by the axes of the ma
tives with enormous labor, and then
with ak and adj and fire nodded into
shape. Boats like the Calabash are ex-
cellent sea vessels, though in their lines
they suggest rather clumsy hippopota-
mus than swan.
On one of her voyages, after she had
served as q trading canoe for two years,
she entered the port of Ujiji, where she
! was bought by an Mswahili slave trader.
For three years she piled back and forth
across the lake, bringing cargoes Of
wretched men, women and children to
the Ujiji slave market. One day load
of slaves had just been landed on the
shore when Mr.. Hore, who had recently
come to Ujiji as an agent of the London
Missionary society, saw the little craft
and decided that she was just about
what he needed for exploratory voyages
around the lake.
He succeeded in purchasing her, and
| the little boat was once more launched
upon Tanganyika as the first missionary
vessel on the lake. Consecrated to the
cause of peace she became known in
time to every tribe as the harbinger Of
good will.-Chicago Post.

! An ash barrel overfowing with house

Not very tempting object, but a vol
ume of philosophy is slowed away among
the curious debris OF this fat receptacle
on the curbstene. Near the top is a bit
of dainty fabric-a mere fragment of a
woman's handkerchief. 1t has huttered
in the brisk sea breeze of Newport or
Long Branch, a pretty vehicle of gay
firtations. A sad spectacle it is now
with its torn and soiled lace edging. Be-
meath this relic of the flown summer lies

fair haired boy, who is considered q
great swell among his fellow chappies.

found its way next morning to the ash

Peeping from beneath q broken fruit

patent leather boot. The graceful lines
of {. feminine foot are still there, despite
the habbiness. DO you think this SAN

the night that Harry Highhier begged

roses, with a card attached (compli-

shred Of msterfslnilias' wedding dress;
a shattered Nankeen vase; a badly
cracked billiard ball and the remnants
of Il schoolboy's slate!
Ah, but here is a symbol Of gayety-

-rotund and robust, and not a mite dis

WORRYING THE WHISKY TRUST.
Woolner Brothers Refuse to Ship Spirits
Claimed by the Distillery Combine.

SPECIAL TO the Indianapolis Journal
PEORIA, ILL.,. June There was another
surprise in whisky circles to-day and q
local sensation. 1t has already been noted
that the Woolner Bros. and other distlllers
had seized their distilleries. They now
take another step and claim the spirits on
hand. Yesterday the Whisky Trust sent
an order to Woolner Bros to ship
two cars OF spirits to Eastern customers
Samuel Woolner. for the firm, refused to
ship the goods. aud gave notice TO the fruits
people that the Wooln or Brothers will ship
no more goods for the trust. and intended
TO hold the goods on hand until sueh time
as the courts might decide the cases now
pending. The WoOlner Brothers
also refuse TO sign any govern
ment papers for the Whisky Trust
which practically bars them out. not only
from the distilleries but also from getting
the spirits and alcohol on hand. The other
houses will probably take similar action.
The Woolner Brothers have from five to
ten thousand barrels of spirits on hand.
which is claimed by the Distilling and
Cattle-feedIng Company. 1t is evident
that the tight has Just begun. and will be
carried on with spirit until the end of the
pending litigation.

found here by which it was learned that
treasure. consisting of jewelry end gold
coin. amounting in value to $4,000. 900. is
buried at No. Perpuota street. IN this city.
The documents bear Official marks and
state that the wealth was secreted by
orders of Emperor MaximIllian. Prepara-
tIons were at once made for unearthing
the treasure The work of excavation was
begun and in a short time q clay vessel
filled with gold powder was unearthed.
Then came several pieces of solid silver
ware. A depth of only few feet has been
reached, the work having been temporarily
interrupted by q great flow of wafer in to
the cavity. As soon as the water can be
shut out or controlled the work Of excava-
tion will be resumed. There seems to be
no doubt about the documents being geDu-
Inc. and it is believed that all or the great
wealth will be unearthed.

Disestrous Floods in Austrie.

VIENNA. June THE floods continue to
cause great destruction In the province of
Bokowina. The river Czeremosz yesterday
evening burst through the temporary dams,
which had been erected to stay its devas-
tating course. and submerged the town of
wischn,tza. The town has population of
about four thousand. and many of these
were drowned in the flood. while rows of
houses were demolished by the rushing
waters. Thousands are homeless and the
loss of property is very great. The number
OF persons known to have been drowned at
Wischnitzs is twenty-oDe. At Radutz the
streets are inundated and eight houses
have been DESTROYED.

The Republican party has established policy
