GOOD USE FOR A FLAG.
Marrow Escape of an Unjustly Com
demned Enslishman at Havana.

Narrow Escape of Unjustly Com
demned Enslishman at Havana.
In Havana there was one evening
great row in the streets, and man
was killed. Everyone ran away except
an Englishman, n, who did not see why
he should run Off, but stopped to do
what he could for the wounded man.
The city was then, as it often was,
under martial law, and in few min
utes party of soldiers came up, walked
the Englishman' off, he was tried then
and there by sort of drum-head court
martial, and condemned to be shot the
next morning at o'clock.
He managed to get the news con-
veyed to the English consul, and at
7:45 o'clock the next morning the con-
sui appeared in his coach-and-four,
uniform, cooked hat and sword, all his
orders on, etc. The shooting party
was drawn out, and the prisoner was
there too. The consul walked up to
the officer commanding the party and
demanded the life of his countryman.
Very sorry" said the officer, ''but
must carry out my orders" and he
showed the warrant signed by the gov
ernor WELL" said the consul, ''at
least you'll allow me to shake hands
with him before he dies" Il can't re-
fuse that" was the reply. On which
the consul stepped up to the English
man, put his hand into his breast coat
pocket, drew out a Union Jack, unfold
ed it, threw it over the man, and then
said: ''There, now, fire if you dare.'
The lieutenant was staggered. the mat
ter was referred to the governor, and
the Englishman was saved. - Spec

the meteorological council announce
with pride that s4 per cent. OF those

years ago nearly II per cent. OF the

but now the rate has fallen to per

According to NJ. Hamelin, a famous
traveller and orchid hunter, the market
price of perfect specimen Of the egg
of the gigantic fossil bird epyornis is
$1,000. 1t is several times as large as
that of an ostrich, but is not otherwise
beautiful. Naturally it is exceedingly
rare, but Mr. Hamelin nevertheless
promises to put one or two on the Eu-
ropean market.
AT Hatfield house, the residence of
Lard Salisbury, in the James II. pic
ture gallery there is preserved the gar
den bat worn by Queen Eliza beth and
pair of her maiesty's silken hose.
The room is also remarkable for beau
tiful alabaster sculptures. and it is the
rule for every royal visitor to leave be-
hind photograph, to which is added
an autograph of the donor.
"A modern postal system is soon to
be established in China. The imperial
government has approved plan, drawn
up by Sir Robert Hart, under which
the native postal organization will en-
tirely disappear and will be replaced
by an imperial post Office, with
branches throughout the country, un-
der the management of qualified for
eigners. When the reform is complet-
ed China will ask for admission into
the postal union.
The Chinese dragon is still prac-
tical obstruction to railway building.
The Tartar general in command at
Monkden, the capital Of Manchuria,
when survey was made for railroad
by the town, had the local sages inves-
tigate the matter. They reported that
the vertebre of the dragon which en-
circles the holy city of Monkden would
be broken if the long nails of the rail-
way sleepers were driven into the
ground. Upon the strength of that
the general ordered the engineers to
carry the line away from the city and
over a very marshy route. When the
matter was brought to Ii Hong Chang
he commended the general for his in
terest i'll the dragon, but tillexpressed
an opinion that the Monkden route
was the best for both dragon and coun-
try. The affair would have to be re-
ported to the emperor. Whereupon the
general had line laid down a few
hundred feet from the former one, and
the sages pronounced it all right.

CHINESE PuNs.
Some Of the Satiricai Twists Of Eastern
Tongues.

Some Of the Satiricai Twists Of Eastern
Tongues.
Among the many sectarian differ.
ences which have led Cinnamon to inn
agine that foreigners have SO many
different religions, those regarding the
proper name for God hold prominent
rank. English Protestants use Shang
TIE, while Americans have coined Chen
Shen, and Romanists have invented
Tien Chu, which means Heavens Lord;
neither being willing to admit that the
Chinese expressions Tien (Heaven) inn
plies personal God. And SO the Chi
nese for religion being .'kiau." the
term Tien Chu Kiau has come to ex-
press Roman Christianity. But there
is, unfortunately. another word having
the sound of chu which means pig,
and another word pronounced kiau
which means squeak; SO that the way
of the satirist was clear for converting
Religion of the Lord of Heaven" into
Squeak of the Celestial Pig"
A common term for foreigners. again,
is Yang Jen, meaning sea men. or men
from the sea; but there is another word
having the sound yang, which means
goat Caricatures of pigs and goats
are therefore used to depict mission
aries and their converts, while a means
of vilifying Christianity itself by de-
picting it as hog. worship, is readily
suggested. Caricatures, however. only
excite ridicule. 1t requires something
more serious to inspire the angry ter
ror which finds expression in riot and
maltreatment, and it may surprise us
not little to find that charges SO ex-
travagant that they might well seem,
to European, the sheer outcome of
malignant Imagination, are really
based on common superstitions. dis
torted and misapplied to the strange
teachers of a strange creed.-Fort-

HOLLANDS LITTLE QUEEN.
Routine of the Lives of the Queen Regent
and Her Daughter.

Although Queen Emma, who is re-
gent of Holland during the minority of
Queen Wilhelmina, was native of
Waldeck-P Pyrmont, she is now a true
DutchwOman. When she was the bride
elect of King William III. learned
professor was sent to teach her the lam
guage of the country of which she was
to be queen. The young princess
thought she would surprise her future
subjects, and applied herself with such
industry that when the prime minister
came to see her three months later she
conversed with him in Dutch.
When the king, who was sixty-two
years old, brought his young bride
to The Hague, she acted like
delighted child. She danced about
the palace, laughed just as much as
she wanted to-which was good deal
and had good time generally. The
courtiers were not accustomed to such
artless gayety. and neither was the
king. Consequently, he led his young
wife up to the picture of his mother, d
severe dame, who as he assured Queen
Emma, ''never danced" "a queen
should never laugh in public" he said.
The piece of advice had the desired
effect, and to-day there is not a more
dignified queen in all Europe. When
the queen regent and her little daugh-
ter drive together the mother replies
to the cheers of the people with a state
ly bow, but Queen Wilhelmina smiles
and answers each salute with special
inclination of the head. She often turns
in the carriage and bows to some
one she fears she has neglected. One
day she returned from the park SO tired
from skating that she forgot to re-
spond to the salute of the sentry at the
palace door. At the vestibule. how
ever, she remember and went back
to the foot of the steps for special
recognition of the soldier.
The little queen has been well trained
for her duties. She is proud OF belong
ing to the great house of Orange, and
when her father was alive his most ef-
fectual rebuke was: MY daughter,
your conduct is not that of princess
of the house of Orange" Her mother
has trained her especially to be brave.
Once, when they were driving, the
horses ran away and the coachman
was thrown out: but Queen Emma i'm
mediately ordered fresh horses to be
brought and the drive continued. lest
her daughter should learn the mean
ing of the word fear.
Always in April Queen Wilhelmins
and her mother go to the castle OF Loo
and remain until late in the autumn.
Here the little queen leads serious,
regular life. She rises every morning
at seven o'clock, but always finds that
her mother was up still earlier She
speaks both French and English fluent
ly and makes rapid progress in music
She possesses Bible, illustrated with
rare engravings. and this her mother
reads and explains 20 her every day
After luncheon she drives her ponies,
sometimes four andsometimes six, sails
her boat, or feeds her pigeons which
will accept food from no other hand
than hers In winter she prefers the
royal residence called the House IN tbs
Wood. because there is a pond there,
on which she skates every day--N- 4

tinguish himself. The only thing in
the world that was left yet undone
whereby notable mind might be made

to find q northwest passage to India-a
favorite dream of his time. For years
he sought means At last he obtained
command of two small barks, sailed
westward and discovered the bay in
Bafin's Land. near Hudson strait,
which we call Frobisher bay. He
thought it was the desired passage.
Some black earth he brought back was
called gold, and excited all England.

beth, fastened to furnish him a fleet;
and he sailed d second time. and re-
turned with shiploads of the supposed
ore. But it proved to be worthless.
