after nightfall, occasionally meeting a
Corean peasant In his ghostly white gar
ments creeping about from house to house,
guiding himself with his wan lantern, does
not inspire the feeling of gayety that the
capital Of a kingdom-even a conquered
kingdcm-is supposed to bestow.
But in China lanterns on a colossal
and magnificent scale. The same party of
Americans that were so impressed with the
lantern dec grafton of their first Japanese
dinner were still more fascinated with the
lantern feature of their one mandarin din
rer. Alth )uRh they missed the captivat-
ing daintiness of detail, they had admired
in Japan, they were compensated by the
splendor of entering the mandarin's COM
pound between two rows of "house-boys,"
who wore long gowns of rich, gray bro
cade, with short sleeveless jackets Of scar
let velvet, and held, in honor of the guests,
trembling, iridescent, beautiful silk lam
terns-immense fragile globes.
Grotesaue Chinese Lanterns.
These admiring travellers received one
more lantern surprise arranged for their
entertainment, in the park of a Chinese
seaport, where the branches of the trees
were luminous with representations. In
shape and color. of countless varieties of
birds.
Among the quantities Of lamps and lam
terms, Of all kinds of materials, used by
the Chinese, the most remarkable are gro
tesque lamps. To see these in all their
glory one should be in large Chinese
city on the night Of the feast of lanterns.
This is tradition Of the universal toy ex-
pressed for the use of fire at the annual
festival of the ancient Athenans
There is another legend connected with
this Chinese festival We are all aware
that the birthplace of the fan was 'in
far Cathay," but the story of its origin is
not well known. This runs that a very
powerful mandarin had an extremely
beautiful daughter. who was named Kan
81. When assisting at the feast of lam
terms she became stified with the heat SO
that she was compelled to take off her
mask; but as 1t was illegal. not to say
greatly improper, for her to expose her
face. she still held the mask before II, and
gently fluttered 1T to cool herself The
court ladies present noticed this, and in
another minute two other damsels were

VANDALISM IN EGYPT.
Relics of n Vanished Civilization De.
ing Ruthlessly Destroyed.

ing Huth1essly Destroyed.
w. NJ. Flinders-Petrie, In a letter to the
London Times. bewails the destruction Of
monuments and historical records which is
going on continually in Egypt. He says
That every season sees buildings ruthless
y destroyed for the sake Of materials,
and a host Of objects plundered by the
natives from towns and cemeteries, in or
der that they may be scattered without
name or record among the tourist flock.
Even those objects which pass into mu-
seums have lost most of their Importance
and OF their value in losing all record of
their original place and circumstances
The laws of Egypt may be excellent in
theory but In practice II is perfectly well
known that hundreds of persons join in
this destructfon-yet no man is punished
Tor 1t. There is, thon, the most urgent
need or saving all that Is possible by COM
piete and careful excavation, in which
the history and meaning of every object
10 any person not acquainted With the
practical work Of excavation IL might seem
that so long as things are not actually
destroyed II does not matter whether II be
an Arab or traired observer that may
find them. But there is generally more
history involved in the position and details
or a discovery than in the object found
Fossils are worth but little IL their strata
arc ur known. More scientific material has
been destroyed than preserved In many,
and Psychologists" He then proceeds ia
solicit for the Egyptian research account
which, he says, has been established mot
10 undertake great clearances or exploits
In the country, but to fit men for work of
the highest class archaeologically, and at
the same time benefit our knowledge and
our museums, as far as may be- by means
OF their excavations"

How n Woman Treated Nam Who
Talked to Her Maid.

man Of the world was wont to call, not
infrequently, upon a young widow, says
the Illustrated American. One day the
pretty maid a the door announced that her
mistress was out of town. On some pre-
text, however, the man entered. lie also
talked to the maid. o
Some days later, knowing that the lady
had returned, he called again He was a
bit surprised when strange maid met him
at the door and showed him to the little
reception loom. While she carried his card
up the stairs he reflected that she was not
so dainty as her predecessor, and she was
not so pretty, though her uniform was
similar and her cap was as stiff and her
apron spotless. r. To-
He was realizing how much more the
woman is to the dress than the dress is to
the woman, when the, maid returned and
announced promptly: Mrs. - is not re-
ceivng.' The man OF the world bit his
lp-it was the first time he had ever been
denied admittarce-and moved toward the
door. The maid held it open for him, and
as he passed through it she blurted out:

LfncOln's Views ON Assassination.

Noah Brooks In the Century.
THAT night as we walked back to the
White House through the grounds between
the War Department buildings and the
house. i fancied that / saw in the misty
moonlight man lodging behind one of the
trees. My heart for a moment stood still
but, as we passed in safety, l came to the
conclusion that the lodging figure was a
creature of the imagination. Nevertheless
as l parted from the President at the door
of the White House, l could not help say
ing that | thought his going to and fro in
the darkness of the night, as If 1t was
usually his custom, often alone and unat-
tended was dangerous recklessness. That
night, in Difference to his wifes anxious
appeal, he had provided himself with a
thick oaken stick. He laughed as he show
ed me this slight weapon, and said, but
with some seriousness: L long ago made up
my mind that If anybody wants to kill me-
he will do it, If / wore shirt of mail and
kept myself surrounded by body guard, It
would be all the same. There are q thou
sand ways of getting at man. If 1t is de-
sired that he should be killed. Besides. IN
this case, IL seems to me that the man
who would come after me would be just as

An ancient writer Lucian, gives a quaint
description of the city,of lamps, which he
pretends to have seen during his travels:
In this city there We're no men, only a
number of lamps running to and fro In the
market place and round the port; some
little ones, the poor of the town; others,
the rich and great among them, very large
splendid and bright. Their death is to be
put out"
If Lucian could return to earth and visit
old Iientsin on her lantern night" he
would see, illuminated and prominent
every form that the most fantastic imagi-
nation can devise; pagodas. ROSTERS fishes,
frogs and rabbits, constructed of silks,
glass, gauze and paper; cats made of
porcelain, painted after nature-the light
coming through the eyes supposed to
brighten the rats, and blocks of ice Gu
riously and beautifully cut, the candle in
the aperture throwing out charming crys-
tai effects; children and grown people car
rying them through the streets-a kalei-
doscopic masquerade.

WOODS OF GREAT VALUE.
south American Countries Rich With
Lumber Practically Unknown


From the Lumber World
Many of the finest woods in existence ara
yet unknown, or only slightly known, to
the manufacturers of wood In the civilized
world. The woods Of Central and South
America are. perhaps, the most remark
able as well as the least known. In the yet
untouched forests Of this continent are
many woods far finer than any of those
now In use. These woods range from pure
white to jet black In color, and many Of
them are most beautifully marked and
veined. Some Of them are so hard that
they turn the edges Of axes. chisels and
Other tools, while the band saw cuts them
only slowly. In the Columbian exposition
there were many displays of known
woods, and the finest of them were those
from Argentine Republic, Brazil and other
South American countries. Some of these
southern woods yielded to the teeth OF the
band saw not the ordinary sawdust, but
hne powder, fine as the finest -four, so hard
were the woods. Some of them burned out
slowly. Others possess qualities that keep
them free from insects. Some of them
seem to be practically indestructible by
air ard water. All along the eastern slopes
