The Emperor of China is not con-
te.it with the respect shown him by
his subjects, and recently issued the
following peculiar order: "After
bringing our sacrifice recently to the
highest being, we heard upon our re-
turn to the palace, near the gate lead
ing to the Imperial quarters, n rather
loud noise caused by talking. This
shows that the people have not the
proper regard for the majesty of the
laler, and also that the officers of the
bodyguard have failed to do their
duty properly. The officers who were
on post at the particular gate must be
punished, therefore, by the Ministry
of War. In the future, however, all
officers, high or low, must see that a
noise so improper shall not occur in
our presence.

Mr.. Mulock, Liberal member OF
the Canadian House of Commons,
made sensation the other day by in
Producing a billto cut down the salary
of the Governor-General. He ex-
planned that when the salary of that
official was first arranged it was fixed
at $50, 900. That was Mt the confed-
Grafton. Since that time the ex.
penses of the office have been contin-
ually increasing, until now they were
out of all proportion to any services
that it could possibly do to the coun-
try. He said that since the confedera-
tion in 1867 the Office has cost the
country 81, s51, ,917, or about $l14, 076
a year, which was some S65, 900 more
than its maintenance had been rated
at. He thought that the luxury of
having q Governor General came alto.
gether too high. He said that he
did not propose any change to go into
effect before the expiration of the term
of the present incumbent of the Office,
Lord Aberdeen.

Dressing the Shopkeepcr.

A gentleman dressed In a loose coat
entered a ladies' outtitting establish
ment at time when the proprietor
was alone in the shop The gentle
man asked to be shown some ready
made ladies' cloaks, as he wished TO
give his wife little surprise. After
a careful inspection he fixed upon
one and asked the shoopkeeper,-
Have you not young lady at
hand TO put on the cloak to see how
it looks"
The proprietor regretted that none
OF the ladies OF the establishment
was in at that moment
"Well, perhaps you wouldn't object

The unsuspecting shopEeeper
slipped on the cloak, buttoned IL and
turned round in all directions
Magnificent" exclaimed the pur-
chaser, with seeming ecstasy, but at
the same moment he made a grab at
the till, which he thrust under his
coat and bolted out OF the shop
The horrtied proprietor rushed
after him into the street. where, how
ever. he was seized by the passers6y,
who dragged him back 10 the shop In

examined the ticket and started for

FREAK OF AN OLD VOLCANO.

Suddenly Transformed into Destructive
Activity After Centuries Of Quiet.
One OF the lesser mountains Of
Chile, whose summit Is nearly 1000
feet lower than that OF our Mount
Washington, has been the talk OF
that country for a year past, says the
New York sun. Without note of
warning it developed into very
lively Volcano and It's eruptions have
destroyed much property, including
the humble homes OF many farmers
living near its base. This sudden
outburst was all the more surprising
because no one had ever suspected
that Mount Calbuco was capable OF
such behavior. CalbucO was re-
garded as a volcano that centuries
ago had lost every spark OF vitality.
On February "a, 1898. Dr. Hans Stef-
fen, while about twenty miles north
Of Puerto Montt a little south OF III
degrees south latitude, observed
white clouds on the eastern slope of
Calbuco He thought nothing Of IT.
until the next day, when he saw con-
elusive proof that those clouds were
part Of phenomenx show ,ng beyond
doubt that the long lost activity
OF the volcano had been regained.
From that time until October -, the
date OF the latest advices received
from that isolated part of the world,
CalbucO showed considerable and al.
most incessant activity with oc-
casional outOursts OF much fury. On
that day a rain OF ashes fell upon
Osborne, sixty miles away, obscuring
the sun so that at midday lamps were
burning in all the houses of the
town. The detonations that marked
the more violent outbursts were
plainly heard. On the same day the
farmers on the soIth shore OF Lake
Llanouihue, a little north Of the
volcano, barely escaped with their
lives and saw all their property de-
stroyed Their harvest was ruined,
their land made worthless bv the vol
canic sand that covered II and their
cattle were killed. Even long before
October the region OF which the little
mountain Is the center had been rem
dered uninhabitable. For mi lies
around the forests had been destroyed
by showers OF hot ashes. One day
there was rain OF red-hot stones
about the size OF an egg that did con-
siderable damage The rich
meadows in the river valleys were
covered with sand and ashes Early
in the series OF eruptions the snow
on one side OF Calbuco was melted in
few hours by the heated material
scattered over it. The result was a
flood in one OF the rivers that de-
stroyed much property. At no time
have any fire or lava flows been OBJ.

frequently accompany volcanic out
breaks, have not been lacking.

An ENJOYABLE Fire.

While the author OF 'ln the

above the rolling smoke, and the
flames cleaned rosy pink on their
snow-white plumage.
"Ahluay! Red paddy-birds! Look!
Fed paddy birds"
The sight was too much for the
lazy wretches at the handles They
squatted on their heels, relighted
their cherooIs, and stared upward.
"Whose house is that" the En-.
glishman demanded, pointing to one
now threatened
"Your honor, that is the house Of

Where is Pho Too?"
"He is there"
The Englishman turned. The man

The Chicago girls Joke about West

the fate OF Sir John Franklin, and
being lost from the sight Of human
ity forever IL may be OF interest
70 briefly review the history of this
singular international episode.
1t appears then, that last autumn
Lady Poyle Ayle Of somersetshire,
visited certain OF the Western States
OF Am erica just before harvest time.
The enormous fields OF Indian corn,
covering areas like Kingdoms, with
their beautiful products
With its shining robes about IL.
And its long. soft yellow tresses,"
filled the patrician traveller with
amazernent From the Wabash to

nos alone has yielded more than 300, =
200, 600 bushels In a single yea Out
Of the -, 0JO, 900, 00O produced yearly
by American farms, IL was shown that
the value OF the corn alone reaches
5000, OUO. 600.
While standing before the cereal
exhibits at the Worlds Fair with a
young lady friend Of Chicago origin,
Lady Poyle Ayle remarked. "May 1
awsk you, my dear, what becomes or
this quite too awfully immense
quantity OF maize? (You Americans
very wrongly call it corn. don't you,
but wheat is the only proper corn in
the United kingdom.) 1 really
cawn't comprehend, my dear, how
you Yankees manage TO dispose OF
such amounts OF maize"
To which the fair lllinoisan made
reply: 'Oh, that's easy enough. We
eat what we can, and can what we
can't"
The British matron, OF course,
missed the point, but the incident
was noted down and borne back TO
England as an illustration OF the
fiippant inconseQuence OF the young
American female. How long this
inspired gem of repartce might
naturally have fingered unrecognized
and unvalued about the shores OF the
Bristol Channel we cannot estimate.
But one evening Colonel Sabretoche,

The beet-sugar crop of 1898 was
manufactured Mt seven factories. the
largest being in California, and others
in Nebraska, Utah and Virginia, the
latter only recently established and
with production for the past year of
only eighteen tons. The amount of
capital invested in the seven factories
is about $4,000, 900. Tributary to
these factories, under cultivation in
beets are about 20, 900 acres of land,
the best of the California farms being
rated at $500 an acre. The average
yield of the lands was ten tons of beets
to the acre, for which the farmers re-
ceived, delivered at the factories, an
average of $3.50 per ton. Apparently
this is profitable crop; but not only
is fertile soil required, but high fer.
tilization, and a great deal of hand
culture; so that, on the whole, the
crop is seldom heavy enough to be
profitable except on fertile land which
is too valuable for ordinary crops.
These requirements, and the fact that
sugar-beet cultivation must be in the
line of scientific farming, il satisfac
tory results are to be reached, will al
ways have a tendency to confne thi
branch of agriculture to certain favor
