Street Scenes in the Far Fact

Everybody has heard about the
dogs and donkeys of Oriental cities.
how dogs roam about without owners.
ana how the donkeys bear patiently
their many burdens and get only
scanty thanks in return. But all
Eastern streets abound in novel and
fascinating sights-bright gowns, tinv
shops, yelled women wearing wooden
sandals, gaunt camels swayipe along
with rude bells tinkling. From the
hrst the energetic peddlers are con.
splcuous. If the traveller annroachas

haunts. The first night in this great
historic city will not be forgotten, for

One of the surgeons sent abroad by
the United States to inspect intending
emigrants at European ports says that
the knowledge of such inspection by
the United States made the steamship
companies extremely careful as to the
sort of steerage passengers they ac-
cepted. He inspected $1,000 passengers
and detained but two, while on this
side not a single one Of those who pass
ed his inspection vas excluded from
the country.

Sheep Manure.

BELLS Messenger" is authority for
the following, showing the value OF
sheep manure compared with that OF
cattle:
In ten tons of solid and liquid sheep
manure there 25u pounds of nitro
gen, 81 pounds of phosphoric acid and
241 pounds of potash. In the same
amount of cattle manure there are only
81 pounds of nitrogen, II pounds OF
Ehosphoric acid and 81 pounds of pot
ash. These figures are sufficient within
them selves to show why the foot of the
sheep is golden to the land. If sheep
Fad entered more largely into u agri'
culture for the past twenty-five years
there would not be SO many run down
fl rms.
Scientific men who have this business
we'll in charge cen figure why this is
when we know that sheep eat about
the same kind of food that is consumed
by other animals. 1t may not be nee
essary to know why, but if it is so,
and we have no reason to diSbelieve it,
it will argue 4 good deal for the sheep
on the farms. Sheep have had the
name for being good for land in the
past. but many will be surprised to
know that they are so much ahead of
other kinds of stock in this respect.
Just now is a good time to buy a
few sheep and engage in the sheep
business. They can be had for a nom
inal figure, and there is certainly a
brighter day approaching for the sheep
with truly distinctive mutton charac-
teristics. 1t will do well to remember
that the farm is not running down any,
if they should prove to be Improbable.
Sheep are as profitable as cows.

The Somnambulist.
Mr.. William Berington's threat of
informing the police CT Joseph Rad
stocks disappearance was only an idle
one, but it produced very stubborn
effects. In the first place, the stub
born, stony silence in which Cicely
heard it woke in him a more definite
suspicion than he had yet entertained
as to what had become Of the treach-
erous old clerk: in the second, it re-
duced Cicely's mind to Il state border
ing or insanity. Believing all he had
said quite simply, she did not perceive
how impossible it was that he should
bring the disgrace Of a criminal trial
upon one of his own name. The
words in Radstock's letter about a bill
of sale upon the furniture opened out
a new danger, and made him feel that
escape from discovery vas becoming
impossible.
Unless
A new thought flashed into her brain.
The inner cellar had been closed up,
and it's existence had for many years
been unknown to the inhabitants of the
house. until Duke found it out by an
accident. He had discovered it, as
far as she knew, only to herself, Min
ma, Algy, Leonard Harvey and Rad
stock himself. Out of those five wit
nesses three only remained to be reck-
oned with. Minna's silence she thought
she could see without rousing suspic-
ion; while Leonard and Algy were not
likely to come in contact with any
one who could turn the knowledge to
dangerous account. If. then, Duke
could hide the entrance to the cellar
Just as it had been hidden before,
his crime might remain undiscovered,
even if the police should come, or If
the house should pass to other hands.
Cicely resolved to make this sugges-
ton to her husband as soon as he came
home. She was expecting him every
moment. He was already late, in fact.
The anxious, unhappy wife could not
keep still; she wandered into the din
ing room, into the garden, restlessly
waiting, until she came upon Minna,
with a telegram open in her hand.
The girl looked disturbed. frightened.
You have had a telegram. too! Who
is it from? What is it?' asked ClCely.
But Minna was afraid to tell her.
The young wife looked so CHASTITY and
trembled so much.

I From Thursdays Daily

There was an incipient riot at
Eva plantation yesterday, but by
five o'clock it was all settled, and
the men will go to work peaceably
enough this morning.
The trouble began Tuesday. Five
men were taken out of the field,
and put to work in the mill, where
the hour to quit work is half past
five, instead of half past four, as in
the field. When half past four
came, these five independent gen.
tlemen quit work, and started to
90 home. When ordered to return,
four did so, but the fifth remained
obdurate.
The plantation policeman, Len
nox. seized the mans effects, in
Guiding bottle which had held tea,
and forced him to return 10 the mill.
On the way the japanese said he
would go peaceably, and that his
strike was over. Lennox then gave
him his goods, when the fellow i'm
mediately attacked. the police
man, striking him on the head
with the bottle and breaking the
latter. They grappled, and the
Japanese was overpowered, but not
before he was considerably used up
by Lennox's blows.
During the evening several hun
bred laborers called on Manager
Lowrie and demanded the dis
charge of Lennox. Mr.. Lowrie
would not accede to this demand,
but told the men that if they would
appoint few of their number, he
would ask the japanese authorities
to meet them, and the whole matter
could be talked over. The men re-
fused to go to work yesterday, how
ever.
All of Tuesday night the Japan
csc laid in wait for Lennox. The
latter found out that he was in
danger, but he was not phazed at
all by the discovery. He got a
double.barreled shotgun, loaded it
with buckshot, laid it across his
knee, and sat on his doorstep all
night. The Iaborers came up in
little and in big crowds, gaEed at
the stalwart policeman, gazed at
the gun, and went home
Yesterday Mr.. Lowrie came to
Honolu u to see Consul Full. He
returned on the afternoon train,
together with Deputy Marshal
Brown, Captain Parker, Mr.. Naca-
yama, K. Okkots, and G. A. Doyle,
the interpreter. The party had
quite long conference with the
laborers, and the result was that
they agreed to go to work. The
party stayed at Eva all night, but
will return this morning.
