ship Gaelic, from Hongkong and Yuko- hama, brought only 27 cabin passengers and had but five whites, If Japanese .and one Chinese in the stccragc. This is the first time in tho history of the steamship service between hero and Hongkong that so few Chinese have come to San Francis co. The explanation is given by the off cers of the Gaelic in the fact that all able bodied Chinese were detained pending the outcome of the negotiations that were going on between China and Japan when the steamer was in Chinese waters.

Janan May Rerret If.

wAsHINGToN, July 31.-It is the opin- ion in diplomatic circles here that the Jap anese have made a grave error in sinking the transport Kow Shing, and one that is likely to cost them much money in repara- tion. besides the humiliation of apology.
 The Kow- -Shing was of line of coast ing steamers belonging to Hugh Mathei- son & Co. and trading between Chinese ports. The vessel was under the British flag when she was sunk. Although she car ried Chinese troops to Korea, it is said here that she did not in so doing violate the laws of neutrality, for there has been no declaration of war or open acknowlcdg- ment by either China or Japan that state of war prevails.
 The vessel, therefore, was engaged in legitimate traffic, and the Japanese are likely to pay dearly for sinking her and destroying the lives of the ships company.

THE attempt of the French chamber of
 deputies to prohibit newspaper reports of
 the trials of anarchists will prove a wretched
 failure. So long as the courts shall pub licly try the anarchists the newspapers will take the risk of giving their readers full reports of the cases. The only way to pre- vent publicity would be to convert the trials of the anarchists into secret inquis- tions; and that cannot be done in this end of the nineteenth century. The large ma jority in the chamber in favor of the min- isterial bill against the anarchists shows how profoundly the French nation has been stirred by the assassination of Presi- dent Carnot. But extreme legislation like this, when enforced in Its letter and spirit, seldom fails to react against the govern ment. It was not wise to give the cham pions of anarchy an opportunity to pose as the sole advocates of freedom of the press.

 She comes into the dining room ae- companied by little girl and hoy. My woman's eye soon detects something a little out of the usual. The children look too young to be hers, so I make in quiries and find that they are hers by adoption. She found these children with a dying mother, whom she made happy by promising to care for them. How faithfully she is keeping her promisel She has taken them to her heart. They show, as children always do, that they have not only food and clothes, but love- and plenty of it. Do you wonder that I call her saint? Here is that woman, at the age when women soonest tire, going daily to her work, no matter what the weather, cold or rain, denying herself that she may make these children com fortable. When I see her in the evening, weary from her days work, but her dear old face beaming with love, say to myself, ''There is woman who has won heaven, and I am glad to have known her. and murmur, God bless you, Miss Murphyp yp-Harriett P.

Fire Easily Obtained.

Tho average civilized man would be hard put to it if Inc were compelled to start fire without matches, tinder box or burning glass. But Lieutenant von HohneI describes all African chief as not only accomplishing this feat but doing it with quieRness and ease. The traveller had asked him to show his skill
 It was really wonderful, i'll view of the moisture laden atmosphere, with what rapidity he did as l had requested
 The materials employed were such as we saw wherever we went-two simple bits of wood one fiat about six inches long and not quite an inch wide, with a row of grooves on one side, the other about 12 inches long and of the thick ness and shape of a lead pencil.
 The longer piece, fixed in one of the grooves of the shorter piece, was held tightly between the palms of the hand and whirled rapidly round and round In a few seconds the wood dust which was produced by the friction, and which fell through the grooves, began to smoke This dust was carefully nursed into a blaze which was fed with fine grass and bits of cotton stuff.
 The whole thing is done so quickly that our men, even the lazy Wasungu, always employed this method on short halts for lighting their pipes. Youth s Companion.

He Was Favored by Rain Until the Manager
 Drowned Him Out.
 The retired left fielder was telling the story Hank MeGiRnis, " he said, twas the greatest first baseman l ever seen. He could play the bag outer sight when he was q mind to, but he was the iaziest man in 27 counties, and he didn't play no ball when he could git outen it. He was allays turRin up with spiked foot or 8 split thumb or some thin of the kind, an ginerally made out to lay off more'n half the time. The summer we were playin i'll the Western league we struck q manager who was onto Hanks curves. He took him to one side when the season begun an tol him that he wouldn t stand no gratis. He marked out to him that if he didn play every day he would git laid off an lose his pay. Sore heels all thumbs was barred.
 Hank, bein lazier than ever that year, was oonsiderbu1 stirred up about this He didn't have no likin to play, but he was hot after the long green, an he kep' playin along an kiokin like a bay steer all the time Finally he got couple of days lay off an went to see his mother, so he said. He got back on time an complained of being sick but the manager tol him t git inter tn game or lose 20 cold plunks, an he got in. Mex day we couldn't play. There was big rain Jus before the time t call the game on the day after that they was another big rain.
 An it went on like this fer a straight 80 days. It would allays rain jus be- fore the game, whether we was home or away. Hank he got fat loafn around an was on first rate terms with hisself Finally the manager had to let out some of the men to reduce expense, all Hank got the run. Then the rains stopped Now, what do you think that man done so's he could git his money without workin? Seems he knew somethin about rainmakin, an when he took that trip home he got his chemicals together an didn't do thing but make rain every afternoon jus before the game. "--Buf- falo Express.

Lovers Ink.


 There arc various kinds of invisible inks, but here is method of making ink which can be wiped off sheet of paper with pocket handkerchief with out leaving trace: Dissolve some starch in water until it is as thick as cream. Then add to it few drops of tineture of iodine, which will turn the starch to a dark red color. Now take a pen and write with this prepared ink upon a sheet of note paper. The ink will dry right away, after which you may erase the whole of your letter by simply wiping the sheet with a pocket handkerchief. It will disappear as easi- ly as chalk from an ordinary black board. Boston Post.
