uncomfortable. a to wives, Mrs.
White told Of one household in China
where seven sons live under one roof
and each has six wives; she Left TO her
listeners the task OF estimating how
much domestic felicity was probable in
that household.
Mrs. White said further that the
question OF ''Woman's right" has no.
vet made much progress in China;
there the man is all and the woman
nothing. Another explanation OF the
custom Of binding the feet, prevalent
among the common people, Is the TACT
that the husbands first vile is always
one with the small, pressed leet,
and the matchmaking mothers. who are
a factor in China as well as in America,
want their daughters TO be first
wives" Mrs. White hazarded the
statement that we are no better in this
country. She knew Of mothers who
would Indignantly refuse TO allow their
daughters to marry poor missiona-
ries, "but a man with "long pocket
book" would be received with favor.
She hoped this is not true in Wheeling
life, and believed not, but in New York
"you can see it"
In the boarding school in Canton, 1877
girls are attending, and OF these but five
have the bound feet. The others are
free from the two years OF continuous
pain suffered by the young girl whose
feet are found. From humanitarian
point OF view, therefore, the reform is
needed. These girls are educated to
take charge OF the mission schools. un.
der the supervision OF the missionaries,
and their work hat been excellent. In
that school Christian endeavor socie-
ty, missionary society and other organ
izations arc maintained. In one year
the missionary society contributed
S24 %. This may seem small to the
American mind, said Mrs. White, but
when it ia remembered that the Ameri-
can equivalent OF that sum is S249 80, II
seems larger By far. II the home aocie-
ties would do as well, the missionary
treasury would never run dry.
An interesting portion OF the lecture
was that relating to the work OF the
medical missionary department in Chi
ma. DR.. and Mrs. Kerr, in Canton.
have treated over $1,000 patients. It's
in this department that extension
should be the rule.
Mrs. White said that she had found
one thing in China that che could ad-
miro unreservedly-the fact that the
fashions never change. Year in and
year out the costumes and hats con-
tinue the same. At the close OF the talk
the speaker spoke Of the immense
amount of good to DO accomplished by
increased subscriptions to missions.

attempting to 60 under the channel
span OF the Baltimore & Ohio bridge the

ITO BE Continued


Brigandage is assuming alarming
proportions in Europe. The official
gazette at Athens announces that d
new election has been orde cd in GER
tain district of Thessaly in order to
fill the seat in Parliament rendered
vacant by the sentence of Congressman
Kalambaka to penal servitude for COM
plicity with the banditti iniesting his
province. At Palermo the Italian gov
ernment has just arrested Baron dc
Ramo On identical grounds, u peculiar
feature in his ca Q being that he is u
millionaire. In the north of Italy we
have Count Serpiere, commanding an
infantry regiment at Verona, and a
very rich man, arrested and court-mar-
tailed for having stolen an innumer-
able quantity of plate, chiefly forks and
spoons, which he was in the habit of
pocketing wherever he dined, no mat
ter whether it was private house or
re taurant.

deep blue ground On the top of Che
safe is a green pedestal on which is
perched magnificent specimen of the
American eagle. Above the campaign
portraits OF Cleveland and Stevenson
is splendid photograph of living
tiger.
The animal is couchant and his mas
sive head rests upon his forepaws, but
his eyes rest watchfully on the folding
doors and confront each newcomer with
shrewd suspicion.
The Tammany tiger would be the
fist feature in the decora ion OF the
reception room that would appeal to
the Imagination of the casual visitor,
for il has become the fashion to identi-
fly Tammany with the royal Bengal
beast, and here he confronts you in
the flesh. This is the only represen-
tation of the tiger about the hall. To
the right of the tiger is a capacious
bookcase, with tall, glass sliding DOORS
screened with grayish twilled silk, and
against the doors are campaign pOr-
traits of David b. Hill and Thoma. +.

Gilroy. An oil portrait of Richard
Croker also hangs on the wall.
Near the reception room is the pri
vate Office where Mr.. Croker, and John
Kelly before him, used to do their
work. Ore end Of the room is taken
up by cabinet wardrobe and book
case, reaching from floor to ceiling.
On the walls are two Indian scenes.
Behind the leaders, chair, upon the
wall, is an elegantly engrossed copy on
parchment of the resolutions of sor,
row passed by the Common Council Of
the city OF New York on the death of
John Kelly.
BY far the most imposing room about
the place is the executive chamber,
situated directly across the corridor
and to the left as you enter the build
ing. In this room the executive com,
mittee holds its meetings.
1t is the most important body con.
nected with the organization. The
popularity and political strength OF
Tammany Hall depend Almost wholly
upon the character and efficiency OF
the district leaders. Under Mr.. Gro.
ker's management these leaders were
selected from the most active and eff
ticient young men who could be found
in the various districts. Instead OF
considering these places as reward
for favorites and old and retired work,
ers, Mr.. Croker scrupulously treated
them from practical business point
of view. He has theories, and one OF

Something of the Banana.

The banana is a fruit that possesses
wonderful sustaining properties, 1t
is now fully appreciated. Yet, years
ago, in the warm countries where it
flourishes, it was thought Of so lightly
that it was allowed to waste if not
eaten by the cattle. 1t is true that
the plant itself was valued, but sim
ply as shadefor coffee trees between
rows of which it was planted. Wmen
in bloom the banana plantation il a
sight of beauty, the buds and ID os-
SONS being gigantic affairs. In Ctlba
the fruit is reared with exceptional
pride. The Spaniards used to regard
the banana as forbidden fruit, be.
cause they believed they detected in
its heart the transverse section of the
cross

the most striking theories of Richard
Croker is that politics is business, and
must be conducted on strictly business
principles.
1t IS altogether appropriate that such
an important body should have an
executive chamber of elaborate design
and beauty of detail. 1t is spacious
chamber, as it must needs be for the
acc, mmodation of SO large body of
men. Chairs are placed about the
room on the hard wood floor surround
ing long table which stretches al
most from end to end of the chamber.
Elaborate frescoes decorate wall and
ceiling and the name "Tammany So.
ciety" is seen bla oned in great gold
letters. An immense chandelier in the
dome gives light which is re-enforced
by gas brackets along the walls of the
room

A Luminous Tree,

Everyone has heard of luminous
plants and shrubs, said gentleman OF
Nevada, but comparatively few people
are aware of the existence in our State
of luminous tree of la ge proper
tions. The Indians have always enter
tanned wholesome dl cad of this tree
and have a number of legends connect
ed with it. 1t is a valuable landmark
at night, as it can be seen half a mile
away, and the phosphorus substance
which eXudej from it is 50 powerful
that it is possible to read few words
OF print held close to it. Several bot
anisJs and tree scientists have made
purpose journeys to inspect and report
on tho tree, but I have never seen a
really intelligent explanation of what
seems to be ito unique phenom-
enon."
