register under the new law. Won is
a cigarmaker, and was employed by a
firm at Los Angeles. 1t was while
thus engaged that the Federated
Trades of Southern California made a
determined test case of Won. They
claimed that his presence in this
country could not be tolerated under
the new law. The case originally
came up before a United States Com
missioner, and resulted in a sentence
of brief imprisonment, to be followed
by deportation. An appeal was taken,
but Judge Ross held that, while the
Imprisonment would be unconStitu-
tional, the Chinese was subject to

pid, dilatory, obfuscatory and chuckle-
headed committee? The question of

Rebuking the Court.

Gambetta, prior to the overthrow
of the empire, was in the act Of adj
dressing the court in behalf Of; d
prisoner, when suddenly he perceived
that the presiding judge was visibly
doing. He paused for minute, and
then, bringing down his fist with a
terrible thump on the desk in front
of him, he shouted in his most
resonant and clarionhke voice: LAS
I was saying before the awakening of
the COURT" This &postrophe was i'm
mediately punished by the indignant
judge suspending the young lawyer
from practicing his profession for a
period Of two months. Less ener-
getic, yet equally effective, was
Maitre Rouse, who, having likewise
observed that the presiding magis-
trate was indulging in a nap, sud
denly stopped talking. The pro-
longed silence, which lasted for four
minutes, had the effect Of Weakening
the Judge, and, as soon as he opened
his eyes, Maitre Rouse made a pro-
found bow and resumed his speech,
as follows: CAS- l was saying, Mes
sieurs de la Cour, at your last audi
ence," laying special stress on the
word "last." The reproof was so deli
cate that everybody smiled, even in
Guiding the judge himself.

none the less gratifying, and it's wis

AVENGED by His Pets.

Meinrad, famous Swiss saint, who
fourished in the ninth century, led a
hermit's life in a cell in Einsiedeln,
where he was often visited for advice
and help. The companions Of his
solitude were two tame ravens, to
which he was much attached. In the
year SCI the saint was murdered in
his cell by some men inspired by
greed of gold, which they supposed
the poor man to possess. After the
foul deed they fed toward Zurich,
whittier they were followed by the
two ravens. There certain pilgrims
identified the birds, and inquiries
having been made at once, the MUIR
derers were arrested and punished.
The saints cell remained untenanted
for nearly fifty years, but was rebuilt
of stone about century aftcrward,
and some two hundred years later the
great convent Of Einsiedeln, still the
richest aud most frequented in
Switzerland, arose on the spot where
the lonely preacher was slain.

THIS eternal question, whether the
Omitted States are," or the Omitted

Boston papers are taking a hand in

of it as a nation, / should say is-no
matter about the grammar. Speak

SAYS the Chicago Herald: Among
the list of nuisances with which
downtown Chicago is cursed the
otherwise aniable bicycle enthusiast
is assuming prominent place. Not
satisfied with the freedom Of the
boulevards, where the wheeling is SUI
perb and where he will be in no ones
way, this person has taken to spin
ming along through the business dis
trict where the crowds are thickest.
An eXasperating feature of the down
town hicycler is his whistle APP
preaching a thronged crossing he
sounds shrill note, and without
slackening speed dashes onward, ex-
pecting people to get out of the way.
This whistling business is going to
get the lordly wheelman into trouble
one of these days. Chicagoans have
long ago resigned the right of way in
their own streets to cable cars, cabs,
and other deadly vehicles, but when
it comes to being whistled aside like
refractory ours by spindle-shanked
person bestriding bicycle the public
rebels. A good stout cane thrust be-
tween the spokes Of wheel has re-
pressing effect on the autocratic
bicycler, and 1t is to be hoped that
this method will be adopted unless
the nuisance is abated. Only frag-
ment Of our boosted liberties remains
and we can't afford to surrender the
last shred at the behest of any long
legged, stoop-shouldered victim of
!, Kiphoris bicyclistanum, even If it is
the Worlds Fair year.

Wages in China.

The wages paid to the laborers are
about Cd. per diem, with rations.
The workers are easily contented, de-
handing only the plainest of food,
while for housing they are satisfied
in winter to creep all together under
a low mat shed with a solid back to
the north wind. The severity of the
weather, however usually stops all
such work before Christmas. What
the men do when they retire to win
ter quarters ! cannot tell; but China
men have curious alternating fac
ulty whereby by abstaining from
muscular eXertion they are able to
economic considerably in their eat
ing. In times of scarcity, when
wages fall below a certain range,
poor people sometimes choose not to
work, because they consider that
they would have to take more food
to repair the waste than the work
done would produce.

The side Of the hole was as smooth
as glass and he could not climb out.
Suddenly an army of snakes glided
towards him. He discharged both
barrels at them, blowing six to pieces.
The rest crept on. Twice again he
fired at the maddened reptiles, which
had now surrounded him in a with
ing mass, and as he could shoot no
longer he dubbed his rife and struck
cut right and left, while his compan-
ions overhead aided him by firing
down on the serpents. At last he
began to grow faint, and Numah,
seeing his terrible peril, thrust his
gun-barrel over the edge and Weist
grabbed it and Numah and Orwich
started to pull him up Then his
feet cleared the top Of the crag and
he was safe. After recovering his
breath he aided his friends in shoot
ing into the mass Of snakes directly
below. When their cartridges were
exhausted they tished out all the
dead snakes they could and carried
them home.

all the cry about hard times and the

exorbitant wages, and farmers are

thirty-tw dead snakes. There were
twenty-one rattlesnakes, the largest

eight blacksnakes. One Of the black
