Hearing a great racket at some dis

The imprisoned deer could offer

the distinction men love best is the
distinction which, instead Of making
a man distinguished, merely singles
him out as already being SO distin-
guished that no reason needs to be
given for distinguishing him further.
The Garter practically says: Here
is the man whom every one will
agree to think distinguished. The
Garter receives distinction from him
rather than gives distinction to him. "
And that is precisely the kind Of
testimony which men covet most.
What they desire to think of them
selves is that they do not need that
any external reason should be as
signed for the honor in which they
are held, that that honor is indeed in
evitable and is natural consequence
of their being what they are. ''Mer-

Slave Catching In Tonau,n.

Whilo In most parts of tho world, cx-
cept Africa, slave catching is becoming
a thing of the past, the practice is still
carried on TO some cxtont in TonQuin in
spite of tho 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-
berod by prisoners but at last decided
to ship them to China and sec if they
could not sell them It was at this time
that emigration agencies were recruit
ing in China thousands of workmen to
toll OH the guano islands of Chile The
hundreds Of malo prisoners were easily
disposed of to these emigration agents,
and the women and children who wero
among the unfortunates were sold to
we'll to do Chinese.
This opened now 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 Thorn, however, that all the women
were finally sold. Today these women
