A New York lady said in my hearing the other day, New York is such a small place after all" asked her why. She answered: All there is of it is from Twen- ty-third to Thirty third street and from Broadway to Fifth avenue. One meets the same people every day, just as in small town. New.

Chinese Medicines.

Scorpions, according to the Chinese way of thinking, are invaluable when employed as a remedy for badly cOngested liver, which ailment can only be surmised by the Chinese druggist to be the one which affiicts his sore and wearied customer.
 Powdered bees and beetles are highly re- garCied by the Chinese physician in the treatment of throat troubles, and if they do not instantly effect a cure on being taken the patient deserves to suffer.

Fortunes In the south.

There is much soil in the south that, while not 50 rich as the black loam of the prairie states or the bottom lands of the sugar plantations, will still afford an excellent living to hundreds of thousands of persons who are now either starving or pursuing hand 10 mouth existence that is enough to drive the average per son crazy.
 Immense possibilities lie in the direc- ton of fruit culture i'll the south upon the soil in question. The fruit market is practically unlimited, since the de mand for all kinds of it grows greater every year. California will not be able to supply all this United States with fruit. Much of the soil of Florida is enough like that which raises the best grapes in California to justify the plant ing of vineyards there on great scale. Ripe table grapes can he furnished from this state as early as July.
 In fact, grape planting has advanced beyond the experiment stage in Florida, and vineyards of from 300 to 5OO acres havo been set. Close attention should be given to the culture of the delicious na- tive southern Scuppernong grape. It is said this grape is too tender for ship ment, but tho same thing has been said of the fig and of the choicest varieties of strawberry and proved to be mis- take. Most parts of the south are ad- mirably adapted to peach raising. Then there is the pineapple. The more pine apple juice the American people can Us, the better off they will be.

THE Chinese in California have d chance to go to warmer climate. They are offered S25 head in British Guiana to hoe sugar cane and dig for gold. The colony only wants , .OOO of them in the meantime. but if they behave themselves and do not make their queues stand out at right angles with pride there may be a demand for more. The European cannot toll with his hands in Guiana and John would have d monopoly of the labor market. Here he iS at disadvantage because the white man is able to undertake a great deal more than there is in sight
 IRE house of lords is by no means a secure element of the British constitution. The struggle of the ''long parliament" for English liberty was accompanied hy the abolition of the lords by a vote of the house of commons in l649. For eleven years England was ruled without the lords. But in the restoration in 1860 the act of 1649 WAS treated as null and the lords re viNrd. The present composition of the house of lords is as follows: Six princes of the blood, two archbishops, 24 Protest ant bishops, 21 dukes, P marquises, 116 elrls. D viscounts, 299 barons. 16 Scotch peers. 2S Irish peers. A total of 599 here ditary legislators, of whom I60 voted on the home rule question.
 THE Republican finds that the demo- cratic members of the board of educa- tion although excellent men. should not be reelected, because among other things they granted teach CTS certificates to several candidates whose examination papers fell below the required standard and reappolnted a l teacher whose habits were under suspi- cion. The open letter of the Rev J. A. Mulcahy, chairman of the board of educa. tion5 several weeks ago, set at rest all fears that favoritism had been shown in tn, matter of granting teachers certificates The candidates whose standing was slightly below the standard had special qualifica tions which were considered as matter o
 justice. The teacher referred to was give1 q position because the charges against hel were not proven. Finally, both Messr,
 Webster and Herttcrson, republican mem brrS of the board, acted with the demo
 cruts in each of the above matters. In it

nJaY Towns.


 A broad smile covers the countenance of this continent from the rock bound coast of the Atlantic to the gentle slopes of the nurmuring Pacific It is because San Francisco had the gall to say that some of New York city's pet actors were not well up in the dramatic art and were overrated. One of the aggrieved women actors retorted by calling San Francisco a '.jay town" and intimating that the west did not know what high art was, and that anyhow what was good enough for New York was too good for San Francisco.
 The fact was that the lady and gen tleman in the same company as well had not been doing their best after getting out of sight of New York, trusting that the people of the jay towns would not know any better. That they were re- buked, and severely rebuked, by these towns served them exactly right. Other persons have made the same mistake. The Atlantic coast must learn that cul- ture even of the BoSton sort is pretty evenly distributed over tiis country, and that the balance of po \ or in all di- rections is rapidly skipping westward. Western people travel more, vlalle more money, have more getup aIl go, pro mote more gigantic enterprises and have broader, more cosmopolitan ideas than the inhabitants of the eastern coast. Many small western towns had electric lighting before New York itself did. And when it comes to the electric light of intellect the west is nut in darkness.

An exciting story Of the rescue from drowning of Il Japanese, by an Englishman whose life the Japanese himself had set cut to save, Is told in Japanese paper, The Kobe Shimbun The EuElishnlln was resident of TokIo Being on his way to Yokohama, au,i fu'liuG ue ferryboat, ow ing to the swollen state of the river, he de termincd to swrn across with his clothing in bundle tied on his head.
 The daring attempt attracted d crowd of sightsecr>, one of whom, observing that the stranger was apparently in difficulty, plunged in and sw3m to his rescue. The Japanese v:sS u good swimmer, but the waters ran swiftly. his strru=' u gave out and he Was carried down stream. Then arose a cry from the spectators, for they saw that the Japanese was going to sink.
 By this time the Englishman had almost reached the opposite bank, but when he heard the cries of the crowd he turned about, and seeing the drowning Japanese, he again faced the current, and coming up with the drowning man, caught him with enc arm and swimming with the other hand he brought him ashore amid the cheers Of the crowd.
 How chivalrous was his action!" l claims the Japanese journalist in conclu sion. His name we know not, but he has l our highest admiration"
