Which way to turn fer 'sistence. while the

From your han'-don't get discouraged,

Don't go lookin' roun' the pools a-showin'

That you're afraid the dish O. pie amt

That stretched across the sparklin creek,

An a sudden lick O. noddin' was to make

You wouldn't fall into the creek. you'd

ODD EFFECT OF A STRIKE.
While the London Cabmen Were Idle
PnrIinmenfnrX PIGEONS Starved.

Among the greatest sufferers by the
cab strike are the parliamentary pigeons
in New Palace yard, which always found
an abundant supply of corn from the
nose-bags of the horses on the cab-rack
at the entrance of the house of COM
mons. For years the spot Eas been,
during the parliamentary season, a
happy hunting ground for hundreds of
these birds. They never hang around the
doors of the house of lords. Peers gen
orally walk to parliament. or II they
drive it is invariably in their own car
rages, the horses of which would dis
dain to eat in public.
No corn is ever to be found at the
peers entrance; thesefore it is that the
pigeons all flock to the house OF COM
mons. But since the commencement of
the strike the birds have become quite
demoralized. They know it is not the
recess because the light on the clock
tower is there at night, and they cannot
make out what has become of their
friends the cabmen, the horses and the
corn.
For some days their lamentable GOO
ing from the pangs of hunger was dis
tressing to hear, until the happy idea
came to Superintendent Horsley to in
or free breakfast table, every morning.
A plentiful supply of crumbs and corn is
scattered on the ground, and the pigeons
show their gratitude by mapping their
wings and cooling in the major key. The
superintendent's charitable eXert1onS are
admirably supported by the members OF
the police force on duty at the house OF
commons-London Telegraph.

Slave Catching In Tonouin.

While in most parts of the world, ex.
cept Africa, slave catching is becoming
thing of the past, the practice is still
carried on to some extent in Tonquin in
spite of the efforts of the French to put
an end to it. The practice of exporting
them as slaves came about in this way:
In 1885 the Chinese soldiers who in.
vaded Tonquin, which was in revolt
against China, found themselves encum.
bered by prisoners, but at last decided
to ship them to China and see if they
could not sell them. 1t was at this time
that emigration agencies were recruit.
ing in China thousands Of worlmen to
toll on the guano islands Of Chile The
hundreds of male prisoners were easily
disposed of to these emigration agents,
and the women and children who were
among the unfortunates were sold tc
well to do Chinese.
This opened q new trade, although at
first it was not easy to sell the women,
because wealthy families did not wish
to have servants with black teeth,
caused by their practice of chewing the
betel nut So small price was asked
for them, however. that all the women
were finally sold. Today these women
are in demand in some parts of western
China As servants they are gentle,
obedient and laborious and are SO high.
