Another Yellow Jacket.

The yellow Jacket" of which Ii
Hung Chang was recently deprived is
the symbol of Chinese royal and impe-
rial favor, as well as of the highest
power 1t is a much-coveted and,
therefore, little worn garment. The
first Marquis Tseng kow-fan rose SO
high in his opinion of the emperor of
his day that his majesty drew off his
own coat and placed it upon the
worthy subjects back. To show his
appreciation of the gift, and the man
ner of it, the marquis, who lived for
many years, ne-sr allowed it to be re-
moved from his back. Years later, it
presented local coating of its own
grease and indescribable filth. 1t
had become from this cause as stiff
as a board. When the marquis died his
yellow coat was buried with him

Many Fierce Hatreds Begin at the Read
Ing of the Will.

of all things, after jealousy-of
which, indeed, it is part and parcel
the visible substance of the unseen
feeling-money is the most potent
factor in the creation of domestic rows
To see a set of eXpectant heirs all wait
ing on the reading of the will, and to
note the disappointment of those who
have not been well endowed. and their
frantic jealousy of and fiery anger
against those who have, is to see an
object lesson in human nature among
the most saddening and degrading that
exist.
BY reason of those legacies all the
former love is forgotten, and a hatred
like to nothing SO much as the fire of
hell takes its place. Brothers and Sis
ters glover at one another over the
lump sum given to one and the small
annuity doled out to another, with
the laundering residuum that goes to
perhaps the already richest member of
the family, or the portion which ere
ateS the head out of one of the minor
joints of the tail. How many affec-
tions have received their death blow
by the side of that divided heap of
money-where each legatee thought
himself defrauded by all that the 9th
crs had received, and where there We're
disappointed heads by as many as
there were joints in the tail left in
their natural condition.
1t is an exceptional nature that can
take coOlly the disappointed expecta-
tion formed by vanity or cupidity of
the legacy to come after such and such
a death, writes Mrs. Lynn Linton, in
the Queen. For, indeed, money is the
touch-stone par excellence of character,
and baser hopes do sometimes so often
mingle in even with love where the
lover is poor and the beloved is
wealthy. Then comes the crash, and
then follows the row; and flames
burst out where the flowers once

A sheriff was once asked to execute a

his house he saw the Quaker's wife,
who, in reply to the inquiry whether
her husband was at home, said he was,
at the same time requesting him To be
seated, and her husband would speedily
See him. The officer waited patiently
for some time, when, the fair Quakeress
coming ilto the room, he reminded her
of her promise that he might see her

4 Human Songbird.

Ii Is said of Alboni that she ''warb bled
like a bird all day long" She used to
sit in her garden and sing as she
worked at lace making or some other
feminine occupation, and the rent of
the house adjoining her villa was
raised thousand francs because of the
free musical entertainments thus fur
nished. In regard to her great size,
her body became so unwieldly in her
last years ina she rose with difficulty
from her chair. and usually had To be
helped to rise. The great singer was

stockings that it was said she would
have darned stockings for the universe"

A SILENCE BROKEN.

The summer fields bestarr'd with flowers
The plumed grasses drenched with dew
Serve but to calendar the hours
That space me from my past-snd you.
Love, hast thou dreamed. in these gray calms
OF quiet pulse and leaden peace,
That time had brought his healing balms
And ancient sorrow found surcease?
Though be dumb. dost thou not know
What peace and silence mean for me-
Poor soul, a-toss 'twixt bliss and woe,
Cursed with the dover of constancy,
Who hath one plaint-and must be mutet
Who hath one song-Rnd may not singi
Dear, you would weary of a lutte
Which only owns a single string.

Decrease O. the rsetse F,y,

It is we'll known that many parts of
Africa are closed to the explorer in con-
sequence of the existence of the
dreaded tsetse fly, whose bite is fatal
to animals. 1t has long been sus-
pected by African travellers that this
terrible South African scourge draws
its poison from the dead bodies of wild
animals This theory is now strongly
supported by NJ. Foa, the French ex-
plorer. He proves that in the Trans
vaal the tsetse is no longer a pest, pre-
sumably owing to the almost complete
extinction of wild carnivorous animals
On the contrary, in the region of the
Zambesi. where wild elephants and
other animals die and putrefy, the tsetse
is still a plague.-St. Louis Republic.

Labor Scarce in southern Russia.

For some reason which is not appar-
ent, in country where distress is ex-
IRENE and the number of unemployed
enormous. the demand for labor in the
coal mines of south Russia is greatly
in excess of the supply. 1t is impos-
sible to procure sufficient labor to work
the mines for the supplying of barest
needs, and railways, factories and
many other industrial interests are
suffering seriously for lack of coal. In
deed, the people of the Don district are
greatly Inconvenience by lack of coal
for domestic uses. The owners have
orders on hand for great quantities of
coal, which thay are entirely unable to
supply. conference under govern
ment auspices was held a few days ago.
and it was decided to try and attract
labor to the mines by making grants of
public lands to the miners IN. Y. Sun

yesterday afternoon seven men armed
with Winchesters and revolvers rode
into Southwest City, Mo, and robbed
the bank, getting all the money the
bank contained, between 5000 and
$4,000. They evidently came from the
territory and were experts. as they did
the job in very business-like manner.
Two of them were stationed on the
outside and three entered the bank
with a sack and two others guarded
the horses
About one hundred shots were fred
by the robbers and four of the best
citizens were badly wounded ]. C
Seabourn and o. L Seabourn were
both shot through the groin; Mart

robbers were about ten minutes going
through the bank, afterward mounted
their horses and started for the nation

TIsHoMINGo. 1. T., May 10.-A sad
state of affairs exist in the Chickasaw
nation The NATIONAL treasury is
empty and the schools and acad-

there are no funds to pay teachers and

jurors and witnesses will have to take

in Office and embezzlement.

takes place biennially, comes off next

to the election of the next governor on
account of the pitia bic state of affairs

THE GOLD RESERVE.
The Yellow Metal In the Treasury Getting
Low Again.

NEW YORK, May 12.-The probable
gold export on Saturdav was estimated
by bankers at 81, 500, GO0 Already this
week So, 100, 900 of gold has been
shipped, and should the closing days
see the country poorer in gold by S.
600, 900 the treasury gold reserve will
not be much over $50, 600, 600. A prom
inent clearing house banker said of
the situation yesterday:
Especial uneasiness has not been caused by
the falling on in the reserve up to this point
European travel by Americans accounts for
part of the export The cunt of god which
NAV be shipped after this week cannot be esti-
mated by any one, but should 1t be excessive
the question OF increasing the treasurys hold
ing of gold will become one of deep Importance
The treasury gold had fallen to about So, 0Oo-
900 when the administration decided that q
bond issue was imperative. Should the re-
serve continue TO decline and reach much less
than $50 0O0, O0l, there but one thing 70 do in
the minds of nearly every hnancier here. That
is to put more gold in the treasury. The gov
eminent must obtain it in some way OF
course the first method suggested would be
another bond issue A better plan need hardly
be expected from congress, and when the re-
serve does sink AWAY, new bond issue will,
think, be demanded by the financial world

over an area of about five acres of
grassy bottom land owned by the rail-

rounded by deputy marshals. who had
instructions to keep the people out. but
they might as well have tried to keep
