cHlNA's GREAT IMPERIAL SEAL.
How Anam Under French Protection ID
stroyed Her Badge OF Servitude.

How Anam Under French Protection De-
stroyed Her Badge Of servitude.
Among the many unique curiosities
in M. Jules Patenone's collection at the,
French legation ut Washington is an
imprint Of the great Chinese imperial
SEAL Tho loss of the original die which
the imprint represents was one Of the
greatest disappointments in the career
Of this clever diplomat He wanted IL
for his collection, but the orientals were
0 little too many for him that time. and
this is how it happened:
The French had been carrying ON the
war in Tonquin duringthe early part of
<1SS4 and finally succeeded in forcing
China to surrender her claim of suze-
rainty over the empire of Anam in ia
vor of a French protectorate All the
state documents of the Anamite up to
this period had not only borne the ma
tional seal, but likewise the imperia.
seal of China, as mark of vassalage.
When, ON June 6, 1884, however, Pate
.notre obtained the signature to the
treaty giving Anam over to the protec-
ton of France, the great Chinese seal
was brought before the convention OF
Anamite statesmen and French officers
and diplomats. M. Patenotre in his re-
port to the home Office described the
scene as follows:
Eve took out seats about o large Ia
BILE in the parlor of the French resi-
dence. There were naval officers from
Admiral Courbet's fleet and several OFF,
GERS from the French garrison at Hue
The great seal was laid upon the table.
1t was inches square and made Of SOL
i'd silver, weighing about IS pounds
The handle represented camel kneel-
ing.
"The Anamite prime minister made
number Of impressions from the seal,
and while this was done servants wero
preparing small charcoal furnace at
one end of the room. The Anamites
were preparing to destroy the seal ]
leaned over to the prime minister and
told him that it was not yet too late to
save this interesting relic, and begged
him not to consign it to the crucible.
He hesitated moment and then held
brief consultation with Nguyen-Van-
Tuong, the regent The latter shook his
head and said that the last token Of An
ANS servitude must be destroyed
Five minutes later the great seal was
nothing but mass Of molten silver. !"
And that is why there is only an i'm
print of the seal in the French embas-
sador's collection instead Of the heavy
silver, camel handled die.-New York

ThE TEMPLE oF NATION:



We steamed two hours one morning
on the Nile and after an early breakfast
rode ON donkeys about three miles to
the famous temple Of Hathor. the Egyp-
tian Aphrodite, at Denderah. This tenn
pie was built just before the Christian
era by one of the Ptolemies, and the porch
was added by Tberius Though built
by Greek and Roman emperors, IL Is
essentially Egyptian in architecture and
decoration, and as it was the first Of
the great temples that we had seen we
were very much impressed. It stands ON
the borders of the desert and the YER
dant plain, surrounded by the ruins Of
an old town, the debris of which, to-
gether with the blowing sands, rise sew
eral feet above its foundations. The
temple is very well preserved. Its porch,
the latest part, is noble hall, support
ed by "a columns about feet in diam
eter and 40 feet high, the capitals pre-
senting colossal faces of Hathor ON four
sides. Every foot of the surface, outside
andfn, is covered with sculpture, which,
though Of the period of decadence, is
still striking because Of the amount Of
it
The main temple behind the porch
consists of four central chambers and
. some 30 others, each of which had its
use. The faces ON nearly all the figures
have been mutilated by iconoclastio Mo-
hammedans or Christians On the ex-
terror of the wall in the rear, among
other figures are Cleopatra and her son
C@sarion, whose father was julius
Cesar. This representation Of the ia
nous Egyptian queen, though contempt
raneous, scarcely justifies the tradition
of her beauty. Near by is small tenn
pie Of Isis, and another which seems to
have had some connection with the tenn
pie Of Hathor. The town of Tentyris
stood here. The Tentyrites hated the
crocodiles which the people of neighbor-
ing Ombos worshiped, and a religious
war of great fury was carried ON be-
tween the two places. III there must be
religious wars, they may as we'll be over
crocodiles as over dogmas which nobody
knows the truth of. The ruins of Ten
tyris are mainly of brick, baked and
unbaked. The temples are Of lime
stone. Some of the stones forming the
roof are "a feet long and feet wide
The whole construction is massive. In
side are traces of color which must have
greatly added to the beauty. At Dem
derah we are not far from the Libyan
hills, but our course takes us away from
them toward the Arabian side as we
came to Luxor Boston Herald.

And at the Ending Thereof Came the Turn
ing of the Worm.
"Now, Barabbas was a-publisher."
A butcher calls at the door and offers
o fine sweet ham, neatly cased. The
mistress agrees to buy it, saying, how
ever, that it is against her rules to pay
for any article until the whole of it is
eaten. The butcher, knowing that there
are many carts ON the road laden with
hams just as finely cured as his, rue
fully accepts the terms, and when a
price is settled departs.
After keeping the ham for two years
in dusty, musty cellar the housekeeper
returns it to the. butcher Nsoiled and
stale, saying that, after all, her family
prefers fresh meat, and she has decided
not to cook the ham.
One spring morning farmer knocks
at the kitchen door of city house, with a
basket of freshly laid eggs for sale. The
mistress expresses delight at obtaining
them, declaring, however, that it is her
invariable custom to pay for articles aft
er they have appeared ON her table and
then only such price as she thinks fit.
Expecting an early settlement under
those conditions and being in need of
cash for the interest ON the mortgage ON
his farm, the man accepts the lady's
terms and departs Week after week
and month after month go by, but no
payment is made for the eggs When
he calls at the house to inquire, the
maid informs him that her mistress bids
her say that the great variety of season
able articles of food has prevented the
use of the eggs, but that she hopes very
soon to find place for them ON her
menu In the autumn the farmer is sur
prised to have the maid hand him the
basket, saying that as the eggs have
lost their freshness and are UNBEATABLE
her mistress returns them, with thanks
for the opportunity for purchasing and
hopes that the farmer will call whenev-
er he is town and allow an examination
of his stock
The third of these true parallels re-
lates to green grocer and some crisp
blanched lettuce which he is request
ed to leave for the housekeeper's exam
nation at her leisure. After time a
messenger leaves a package at the green
grocer's shop. On opening it he finds
his lettuce, wilted and bruised, and
these consolatory words, Sowing to no
lack of merit, but because lettuce is not
exactly available for my table, / return
these heads, with thanks for the oppor-
tinity for examining them"

of Seasickness.
A gentleman living in metropolitan
suburb was strolling down one of its
streets when he came by chance across
q couple-a man aud woman-whom.
he Immediately recognized as having
been his fellow passengers in a steamer
crossing the channel. His "reminiscences
were not of a particularly agreeable ma
ture, for he lost no time in getting them
arrested. The tale which he unfolded to
the police commissary was as follows:
The steamer had hardly left the Eng
lish port en- route to the shores of France
when he and about so other companions
in misery We're seized with all the
symptoms of NAL de mer. The only tray
eler who seemed exempt from suffering
was the man who had been arrested
He paced the deck with the utmost COM
placency, now and then taking from a
bonbon box a lozenge, which he swal
lowed with apparent satisfaction. The
woman in whose company he was met
in Paris acted ON the steamer as if she
was perfect stranger to him, and she
seemed indeed to be the greatest victim
of them all. So intense was her suffer
ings that the man walked up to her and
offered her one of the lozenges, declar-
ing that they were sovereign remedy
against seasickness. She took enc, and
in the course of few minutes said that
she was completely cured, and soon her
fellow passengers beheld her discussing
with considerable relish plate of sand
witches, washed down by bottle of
stout
One after the other they begged the
possessor of the marvellous lozenges to
favor them with one. ''It so happens
that I am the inventor" he replied,
land as I have few boxes with me !
shall be most happy to oblige you with
them at the rate of 20 francs each.
The unlucky passengers. whose misery,
had IN the meantime rather increased
than otherwise, enthusiastically well
coined the offer, and soon all the boxes
were sold, the gentleman from the sub
urbs being the purchaser of one.
But somehow the loEenges had no eff
feet. Not one Of the buyers was to be
seen calling for stout and sandwiches,
and the whole party did not get to the
end Of their troubles until they We're
once more safely ON terra irma. The
suburban gentleman had the lozenges
analysed, and they were found to be or
binary Jujubes. Chance had thrown the
couple in his way, and he told the po-
lice commissary that he was quite sure
that they had acted this comedy for the
purpose of getting money out of their
fellow passengers. The man and the
woman both declared at first that the
suburban one must have mistaken them
for another couple, but afterward they
made full confession. Oddly enough
they had gone to the suburb to inspect
a house which they had thought of buy
ing with tho proceeds of the sale Of
many boxes of jujube lozenges in nu-
merous passages across the silver streak
