A Chinese Exodus.

Prominent Cinnamon on the Pacific
coast are predicting a big exodus of their
countrymen from this continent and all
other lands to the Celestial empire within
a year-o two. They will go to be pres
ent at the big fair which occurs there
once in 60 years and at which every sub
ject of the great emperor tries to be pres

millions, of Chinese from all parts of the
empire and the world will be there says
Interpreter Pom Sc of San Francisco.
Cali nations will be invited and every
body ought to go, for it will be the sight
of a lifetime" The fair, he says, was
founded many centuries ago and has been
held regularly since. He is not sure of
the exact date, but it is within two years.
Great preparations are being made for it
all over the empire, and announcement
Of it will soon be made t 0 the world

First Person Cremated In America.

The first white person lawfully Gre
mated within the present limits of the
United States, according to wishes and
desires expressed by himself, was Colo
mel Henry Laurens. one of the Revolu-
tionary patriots. He was born in
Charleston, S. c., in the year 1924, and
died on his plantation near that place
on Dec. 8. 1892. His will. which he
had requested them to open and read
the next day after his death, wa sup
plemented with the following: Il SOL
EMMY enjoin it upon my son, as an in
dispensable duty, that, as soon as he
conveniently can after my decease, he
cause my body to be wrapped in -
yards of towcloth and burned until it
be entirely consumed" The request
was carried out to the letter and was
the beginning of cremation in Amer

Drained a Lake by Boring Holes.

In Florida Life is an article from the
pen of B. W. Partridge of Monticello
with the above title. In it he describes
the effect of the drought of 1891 on Lake
Miccosukie. n of the largest lakes in
middle Florida, when about 5000 acres
Of water became dry land for a spell.
The rainy season of 1892 filled it with
water again.
Mr.. Partridge conceived the idea that
the lake could be drained by boring holes
in it's bottom and organized a company
to try it.
Experts were engaged to examine and
report on the plan, and the result was
that the company has bored a number of
holes in the bottom Of Lake Miccosukie,
and the water is rushing down through
them via a s~ubterranean passage to the
gulf. In a few months they expect to
permanently drain the lake and thus re-
cover 10000 acres of valuable land.

Do you know how to pack a trunk
well? asks Ruth Ashmore i'll The Lad

how many people do you know who do:
And wouldn't you gladly give 81 for a
large and so cents for a small trunk
that is properly packed? The packer
comes with dozens of sheets of tissue
paper and several pieces of tape. You
can sit where you belongings are, and as
skirts and bodices are taken down say
which you want. Then the bodices
have their sleeves stuffed with paper to
keep them in shape, the trimmings care
fully covered with it; the skirts are
properly folded; the bonnets and hats
have tapes pinned to them, and these
same tapes are tackled to the sides OF
the hatbox, Sc that no matter how much
the trunk may be shaken not a feather
nor a rose moves out of its place. Then
when everything is done there is land
on The top of the last tray a list of tine
things that are in the trunk, so that you
don't lose you temper searching for the

requested should be left at home.

WASHlNGTON'S BIRTHPLACE.

The Government Improving and Making
Accessible a Historical Spot.
A contract has been awarded for the
erection of a $40, 900 wharf on the Poto-
mac river, near Wakefield, Westmore-
land county, Va, General George Wash
ington's birthplace, and the steamer Sue
will probably make it "a landing place.
The house in which Washington was
born was destroyed by fire during his
boyhood, but in 1915 a stone with a suit
able inscription was placed on the spot
by George Washington Parke Gusts. It
was while living at Wakefield that Wash
ington attended the neighboring schools,
where instruction did not go further
than reading, writing and spelling, with
the addition, which must have been
somewhat exceptional, Of bookkeeping
and surveying.
In after years, while Washington was
surveying the vast estates of Lord Fair
fax, the birthplace was burned, and the
family moved on the Rappahannock riv-
er, nea fredericksburg. The new wharf
will be built by the government as a
e of access to the ruins of the burned
house, and congress is to mark the place
with a monument. A steamboat land
ing will make the historical spot, now
somewhat difficult to reach, of easy &C
cess for tourists.-Baltimore American.

What Was ITO

A dispatch says a curious phenomenon
was seen in the heavens by citizens of
Wilmington. n. c., from $50 to T o'clock
the other morning. 1t made a grand
sight, but no one seems able to deter
mine just what it was. Some describe
it as a meteor and others as a comet.
One eyewitness says it had the appear
anc of a large star with a tail, which
to the naked eye seemed about 100 yards
long. The end of it finally burst, leav-
ing a trail of fire of many beautiful
colors.
A colored astronomer says he saw the
letters Wv. W. W" distinctly outlined,
while another AYERS that the word ssPre-
pare" was there as plain as day.

TERRIBLE DEATH OF A HORSE.
The Costly Animal Goes Mad and Tear.
Itself Almost to Pieces.

The Costly Animal Goes Mad and Tears
Itself Almost to Pieces.
J. E. Sechrist of this county lost his
fine stallion Fleetwood in a peculiar and
terrible manner. The animal was a very
fine one, an inbred Hambletonian, both
powerful and speedy. A few days
ago it was taken with blind staggers,
and its sufferings were terrible. TIL.
climax of the disease was reached on
Tuesday morning, when the animal went
crazy. He was tied in his stable, but in
his agony he broke the strong rope hal
ter as if it were a thread, and driving
his head against the side of the barn COW
cred everything with blood.
Finally he made a desperate effort at
the door, and tearing it from its hinges
went at a run through the field. His
speed Vas terrific, and he stopped not for
paling. board or wire fences. but took
everything in his mad run. He ran
through "a paling fence six times and
through d four wire barbed fence Is
times, tearing his legs and body in a hor-
rible manner 1t was just before day,
and Mr.. Sechrist says that every time he
struck the wire the fire flew, and the
ring Of the wire could be heard a long
distance. Finally, from exhaustion and
loss of blood, he fell and died. Mr.. Sc
christ valued him at $4,000 and brought
him from Kentucky.-Oklahoma Special.
