CHINA.

Another Fine Lecture by Mr.. StOd. |
dard-Life and Scenes In tho Won |
derful Celestial Empire Wildly |
Portrayed by Word and Picture.
John L. Stoddard's lecture last evening
was regarding China. The big theater was
packed and the lecture and views were ad-
mirable. The lecturer treated in opening
Of the great age of the celestial empire
with it's record Of 1000 years. and Of it's
vast population, nearly six times greater
than that of the United States, with only
twice the area. After speaking briefly
upon these and other points relative to this
vast and wonderful empire, Mr.. Stoddsrd
took farewell of Japan with an eloquent
account of his voyage through it's inland
see, which he termed the Japanese Medi-
terranean. hong Kong's beautiful harbor
excited his admiration, where we're hum
dred ships and steamers at anchor. Hong
Kong is an Island twenty-seven miles In
circuit, whose town is Victoria. But fifty
years ago the island was q barren, rocky
| waste, inhabited only by pirates. Now
| the city of Victoria, built by the English
government, has $50, 600 inhabitants; its
Fine roads and soqueducts might compare
| with those of ancient Rome; Its streets Gre
lined with massive buildings, and its slopes
back Of the city running mp to height OF
| 1900 feet, are covered with fine villas and
l gardens built on terraces ono above anoth-
l or and surrounded by trees.
Reaching Canton Mr.. Stoddard thrilled
his hearers by the strange things he had to
| tell-of narrow, dark labyrinths Of strests,
four to eight feet wide, crowded with ma
| tives engulfed in their depths like atoms
| in a sewer; of great pawn shops, six or
| eight stories high, whose contents were
| protected by supply of stones and vitrol
kept ready on the roof to be hurled down
on attacking thieves; of the execution
| ground where malefactors are beheaded; of
| the boat life, where q boat twenty feet long
| is q home for an entire family; of strange
| scenes in the markets, where cats, dogs
| and rats are sold and cooked; of trials In
| the courts, where witnesses are bought and
prisoners tortured, and all this Of a people
! whose one burning desire is to be educated
The entire lecture was wildly interest
ing and the illustrations superb. 1t viii

An Ingenious SPINDLE.

A novel kind of swindle was practiced
IN German town the other day. A man
struggling along under heavy burden
suddenly stumbled and crashed through
, plate glass store window. The propri-
etor of the store demanded payment
The porter said he had no money. Pass
ersby advised that he be searched. A
thousand mark note was found on him,
which, he said, belonged to his employer.
The storekeeper, however. deducted 100
marks for the value of his window and
handed 900 marks change to the porter,
who went away swearing and protesting.
A little later the storekeeper discovered
the thousand mark note was SPURIOUS

1890 the nations total population was
80, 622, 250 and it's total white population
81, 1888. $50. OF these white inhabitants
no less than 9,015,96S or 14.4 per cent.
of the total population were foreign born
while II SOB, 676, or 1887 per cent, were
native born but of foreign parentage.
In other words the white people of for
eign parentage amounted to 1927 per
cent. OF the total population, while in
1880 they had numbered but IA, 1922, 744,
or 90. 70 per cent. of the total population
at that date.
In few states is this increase in the
percentage of foreign pareptsge more
noticeable than in Washington. In 1890,
with total population of 23,955, but
s, 3S2 or "a, so per cent. were OF foreign
parentage. In 1880 population had
risen to rs, 116 and the foreign element
had increased, to sol or 38.08 per cent.
The grand rush of the next decade,
which gave the state 349,39C people, IN
1871 gave III lOOi ~ pOioOho VI 49, O'f--
parentage-just 44.69 per cent. And OF
these no less than 1928. almost one
fourth, were themselves foreign born.
Washington certainly can congratu-
late herself that nearly all this foreign
blood comes from the most progressive
nations of northern Europe. No less
than q ITO, more than one-fifth of the
entire foreign element, is of German
psrentage; 2O,O43 or 10 per cent. trace
their lineage to Ireland; 1901 are of
English parentage; 1914 are English
Canadian and 1850 more French Cana
dian; Sweden claims II, 1858 and Norway
II sol; 1896 are of Scotch, 1896 OF
Welsh descent. These nations alone
furnish four-fifths of the foreign stock.
Taken all together the Evergreen state
can afford to be very well satisfied with
the facts shown in this bulletin. Even
including the 1000 Cinnamon in her
borders, it is safe to say that not three
per cent. of her entire population traces
it's parentage to the countries which i'm
migration experts have branded "unde-
sirable."

HON. Rahar Cut Feels.

"Ihardly know how it feels to be shot,

said Mr.. o. D. Reeves of Indianapolis at
the Lindell. Il enlisted in a cavalry
regiment when was 10 and put in four
years for Uncle Sam. Do you see this
scar? That was done at Nashville" and
he held up his left hand, which was al
most encircled by deep scar. THE
boys were ordered to charge, and had
emptied my pistols and had just drawn
my saber when saw bearing down upon
me one Of the largest men | ever saw.
"Our horses were both going at full
speed, and he was headed directly for
me. He launched his blow first, and |
instinctively threw up my hand and
lowered my head. The saber struck my
hand, which fell helplessly by my side.
The man flew past me, and turned my
horse to one side and rode far enough
away to examine my wound. No blood
escaped neither did feel any pain until
tho wound was dressed half hour later.
The reaction set in, and the strongest
opiates were used for days to give me re-
lief from pain. st. Louis Republic.

The Thumb.

Thumbs have been appreciated ever
since the world began. The ancients
used to call the thumb the other hand
Barbarous kings used to swear and make
compacts by their thumbs In Rome it
was a sign of favor to wiring and kiss the
thumb, and of disfavor or disgrace to
lift them up or turn them outward. A
man who was hurt in his thumbs was
excused from serving in the Roman wars
Some of the scoundrelly citizens used to
cut off their thumbs, 80 as to remain
home and get rich. Teachers used to
punish their pupils by biting their
thumbs.
The thumb is great and influential
member. can look at the thumb OF a
young woman and describe her figure. |
can tell whether she is thin and bony, or
plump and round; whether her joints
are large and i'll shapen, or small and
perfectly proportional. BY examining
0 mans thumb | can tell what ought to
be his vocation. ~-New York Tribune

Want Tax Penalties RENTED.

GARFIELD, Dec. 12.-The following
petition to the county commissioners is
being circulated in this vicinity, nearly
everyone signing it:
1--WE, your petitioners, beg, in view OF
the financial strngency, the low price
wheat and the partial loss of last years
crop, which has rendered it impossible
for many of us to pay our taxes for 1893,
that you remit the excessive penalty
imposed by statute. Believing that the
renting OF portion of the taxes Of the
railroad companies furnishes precedent
that establishes your right to grant this
petition, we rely upon your sense OF JUS
tice and your sympathy with the hum
dreds of farmers in Whitman county
who are in danger of losing the homes
that represent years of toll and priva-
ton. for relief"

Brand the Claim as False.

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 9.-World's Fair
officials expose pretender to an award.
One of the odd results OF the Worlds
Fair is the claim now made to awards
by some who were not even exhibitors.
Officials of the exposition have not as
vet taken final action in the matter, be-
lieving the quick wit of the people will
detect she spurious claims. But to the
case of New York baking powder, that
has been widely advertising an award,
the attention of the chief of awards for
agriculture, has been directed. He
brands the claim of this pretender as
false, declaring "Neither the records of
this department, nor the official cata-
logue of the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton, show that the New York company
was an exhibitor; consequently it could
not receive an award at the worlds fair. J"
Those who fairly won their honors at
the fair seem disposed to treat this fraud
as any other fraud should be treated.
The Price Baking Powder Company, of
Chicago, having received the highest
highest award, say they are convinced
their claims, and those of all other hold
ers of rightful honors, will be fully vim
Dictated by the public.
