Chinese in the House.

Washington, October 11.-In the House
today. Mr.. Cultivate called up the reso-
luton of the committee on rules provid-
ing for the immediate consideration Of
the bill to amend the Geary Chinese ex-
clusion act.
Mr.. McCreary of Kentucky, advoc ated
the bill, which he explained, extended
for six months the time within which
the Chinese might register and obtain
certificates of residence.
Mr.. Geary of California, denied that
the bill which bore his name was any
violation of treaty stipulations. Within
the past thirty years, he said, $500. 900, 600
had been taken from the Pacific coast to
foreign lands. American labor, he said,
could not be protected by tariff against
the products of foreign pauper laborers
while the pauper laborer was allowed
to come here himself He ridiculed the
statement that it would take 81, 900, COO to
deport the unregistered Chinese. 1t
would not, he declared, involve the ex-
penditure of 81, 900, 000 He criticized the
action of the administration in bot s.en-

There is no disposition shown by
the people Of the Pacific coast, in
general, to be unjust to the Chi
nese, but there is strong feeling
that they should conform to the
law. A law not only legally pass

cided to be constitutional. 1t is
well not to make undue haste in
its execution, but those in outhor-
fly should be firm in insisting
upon compliance Herewith. The

An Inscription to Ericsson.

We do not see why the statue erected to
Ericsson should not state that he was ma
tive of Sweden and a citizen by adoption
of the nited States. We have many thou
sands of Swedes among us who have be
come citizens, and they are worthy and
reputable portion of the foreign born con-
tingent of our population. Ericsson was a
typical Swede. who did honor to the coun-
try of his adoption "a well as to that of his
birth, and there would be no impr6priety
in stating the facts suggested upon the
pedestal of his efligy. Sweden is one of
those countries whose sons the least fire.
quently force themselves into notice, but
the sterling merit and steadfast character
of it's people are none the less worthy of
recognition when opportunity demands.
We trust yet to see the proper inscription
placed upon the pediment of the Ericsson
statue.-New York News.

The Meaning of style.

The word style, though but a diminutive
word assumes to itself more contradictions
and significations and eccentricitieS than
any monosyllable in the language Is legltl-
mately entitled to. 1t Is an arrant little
humorist of word and full of whim-
whams Though it would seem that the
people of all countries are equally vehement
in the pursuit of this phantom style, yet
in almost all of item there is a strange di-
versity in opinion as to what constitutes its
essence, and every different class, like the
pagan nations, adores it under different
form.
In England, for instance, an honest citi-
zen packs up himself, his family and his
style in buggy and rattles away on Sun
day with his fair partner blooming beside
him like eastern bride, and two chubby
children sauatting like Chinese images at
his feet. A baronet requires chariot and
pair, lord must needs have n barouche
and four. but n duke-oh! a duke cannot
possibly lumber his style along under a
coach and six, and half a score of footmen
into the bargain. In China a puissant man
DARN loads at least three elephants with
style.-Philadelphia Times.

AnPsthesia From Torture.

with him he was Smitten with a violent at

though his sufferings were more than the
body could stand and survive The paroX-
ysm lasted for more than an hour. After
it had passed he opened his eyes as one who
awakes from a sound sleep and said to his
friends, why, have been asleep, haven't
I?' So that it seemed that the excess of
pain and struggle had really produced a
sort of an9sthesia, and the case will be
discussed at a meeting of one of the med
ical faculties.-New York Cor. Philadelphia

Baron Hirsch's Benefactfons.

If it is true that General Beauregard left
81 ,0O0, 900 apiece to his two children, the
conclusion is reasonable that when he
twirled the wheel of fortune for the Louis
lana Lottery company he did not do it sole
ly for love of watching the turns of luck.
There were sure winnings in the lottery for
him, and he did not disdain to carry them
home and salt them down. Therein he diff
fered from Baron de Hirsch, who, as most
people know, finds one use of his vast in
come in demonstrating that that notable
lottery, the turf, is worth cultivating pure
ly for itself and aside from all the chances
of possible gain.
The baron has given to hospitals, homes
and benevolent associations, principally in
London, without regard to their creeds or
nationalities, all the money won by him
upon the turf during 1891 and 1892. In
1891 the winnings amounted to 81, 900, and
in 1892 to e35, 900. The amounts received
from him by various institutions vary from
e, 900 to goo. Several of them received
e, 200, the largest beneficiary of all being
the London hospital. There are some 40
institutions on his race money ist.-Har-

Cloves and Rouge.

Cloves and Rouge.
Cloves are dangerous little articles. Many
Of the girls nowadays touch up' their
compilations, you know. OF course no real
ly nice girl does it to any extent, for al
though it's no longer connected with vul-
garity as it used to be still it rather stamps
q girl as being conspicuous. not to say loud
1t is connected somehow in our ideas with
bleached hair, blackened eyelashes and 9TH
er unpleasant receptions that never deceive
any one But it is such a temptation to
rouge a little in the evening, and when a
girl does it artistically, and many of them
do, defy any man to tell it from the real
bona fide bloom that nature is so chary in be-
slowing and it is in cases of this kind that
the innocent looking, pleasant smelling lit
tie Glove may do its deadly work
1t is said by the best authorities that II
girl is rouged and a man eats cloves and
then, to put it plainly and vulgarly, blows
ON" her cheek, that self same cheek will turn
black. But all the smart men who have
hear this and determined in their innermost
and very suspicious hearts to try it on
some unsuspecting sweet feminine creature
should also be informed that while the rule
holds good in most cases yet there are some
kinds of rouge that are not affected by
cloves, Just as there are kinds that defy
water. And any girl who uses that sort may
weep, or get caught out in the rain, or rub
her cheek with her handkerchief to prove to
you that she is innocent of the charge, and
yet for all that she may be artifcally paint

The True american sunday.

New York Evening Post
We have developed during the
past quarter of century an Amer
lean" Sunday, which is based upon
the principle laid down in the decla-
ration of independence. that all men
are endowed with an ''inalienable
right to the pursuit of happiness
on every day of the week. A CON
trary rule has, until a comparatively
recent time, prevailed In the greater
part of the country-a rule which
forbade the pursuit of happiness on
Sunday unless one could get it at
church or reading religious books at
home; but there was never anything
american" about this rule. 1t was
a servile imitation of England-the
adoption of theory about the day
which finds no support in the life OF
the founder of Christianity or in the
practice of the Christian church out
side of Great Britain. SO far from
its being ..un-American" to advocate
the pursuit of happiness on Sunday,
it is the very embodiment OF the
principle upon which the American
system is based.

Fear In ThieyinC Animals.

Animals are conscious of their deceit, as
shown by the fact that they try to operate
secretly and noiselessly; they show sense
of guilt if detected; they take precautions
in advance to avoid discovery; in some
cases they manifest regret and repentance.
Thus bees which steal hesitate often before
and after their exploits, as if they feared
punishment. One describes how his mon
key committed theft. While he pretended
to sleep the animal regarded him with hest
tation and stopped every time his master
moved or seemed on the point of awaken
ing Such and many more well known
facts may be due perhaps to fear OF punish
ment. which naturally follows misdeed,
Just as is observed among habitual human
thieves-Current Literature.

Rare Chinese Coins.

The true antique Chinese coins are found
in ancient tombs and ruins Several hun
dred were discovered in Annoy in digging
grave when the laborers broke into an old
tomb several feet below the surface of the
soil.
The coins lay in a pretty earthenware jar
and were incrusted with a thin layer of
1nalachite that here and there had been
changed by moisture into azurite. The
coins were sold by the lucky coolies in the
next "a hours and are said to have brought
81 apiece, an immense sum to men working
for IL cents day.
To succeed in collecting cash a person
must be a fine Chinese scholar. The labor
thereby involved is so severe as to preclude
most collectors from indulging in the pleas
ure to any great eXtent.-Philadelph Bull

The Cost of PEOPLES Dishonesty.

An idea of the magnitude of the depreda-

" be obtained. The losses annually sus-
tanned by large dry goods houses through
this cause alone is something almost be
yond belief by one not familiar with the
subject In foreign cities the trouble IS
fully as great as in American trade centers
In one large house in Paris, the Bon Marche,
100 detectives are constantly employed
whose only work it is to keep an eye on the
light fingered gentry and prevent the con-
summation of their designs on the immense
stock of small portable articles within reach.
That it is an economy to pay corps OF de-
rectives for their continuous services gives
some hint of the extent to which their en-
ployment saves money for the house.-Chi-

Candor compels the admission that
the adverse criticisms made upon the
appointment of Mr.. Eckels as comp
troller of the currency have not been
justified by his course thus far. He
assumed the Office Just in time to
catch the full effect of the financial
disturbance among the national
banks, which have caused almost as
many failures during the last 80 days
as ordinarily occur in year. and 1T
must be admitted that he has proved
equal to the situation. With the nat
ural tendency of a lawyer he has
shown disposition to hold the banks
to strict compliance with the law,
which is right, and he has also shown
that, though not a trained financier,
he has sound views on the subject.

Wbv Birds Are Often Seen on Steamers

Every steamer that plies along the At
lantic coast is a refuge for birds that are
blown out to sea, mostly small and not
strong of wing. When disturbed or fright
ened by people ON the deck, they fly into
the air and fall behind the ship, and after
several such disturbances they become SO
tired that they can no longer catch up.
After hopelessly chasing the vessel for sew
eral miles they futter into the sea and
drown@St. Louis Republic.
