"A rumor from washington saws

"A rumor from Washington says
that President Cleveland will appoint
Colonel Herman Stump, at present
commissioner general of immigration
to the Office of assistant comptroller of
the treasury, made vacant few days
ago by the death of Mr.. Mansur of
Missouri. Colonel Stump is not
candidate for the place, but the presi
dent is said to be disgusted with the
rush of ex-members of the last House
of Representatives for the office and
has turned the whole matter over to
Secretary Carlisle, who, as well as

Great Britain has grown tired of
waiting for Nicaragua to pay her the
indemnity of $4,000 claimed by the
former country and has seized the
port of Corinto and will collect the i'm
port duties until they amount to that
sum. 1t is estimated that this can be
done'in month and the trouble in col
lecting will be slight as most of the
imports are from Great Britain.

The United States Supreme Court
last Tuesday passed an order set
ting May as time for consideration
of the petitions for rehearing of the
income tax cases. A full bench is ex-
pected at that time and it is to be
hoped the rehearing will be granted
and an affirmative decision arrived at
as the present four to four status of the

AS the days go by it becomes more
and more apparent that the vital ques
tion in coming campaigns will be the
silver question. The people have de-
clared their sentiment on the tariff
question and it is probable there will
be no radical change in the existing
laws for years. The recent unasked
advances in the wages of iron and
cotton operations has shown the peo-
pie that the Wilson tariff bill will do
what was claimed for it if it is let
alone. The question of finance is
therefore the only great issue before
the country. AS both the Democratic
and Republican parties are very much
divided on it the outcome will be
awaited with interest.

WOMEN oE MANcHuRIA.
Unlike Their Chinese Sisters and Rule the
Home With Rod of Iron.

The Chinese woman is round, plump,
full faced, fiat nosed and small headed
The Manchurian woman Is tall, broad
shouldered, deep chested, with an oval
face, Il .arge head high check bones and
genera' expression of physical and mental
activity. They are the mothers or the fierce
warriors who conquered China and still
own it, Their life in their native land has
many odd features Unlike the Chinese
women, they do not bind their feet, and
they take an active part in the household
management They are modest in dress,
but. like all daughters OF Eve, cannot re-
sist pretty jewel or beautiful gem.
They rule the home with rod of iron.
The law may make them the slave OF
husband, but woe betide the luckless pa
terfamilias who dares TO carry that law
into the domestic economy. Their bed In
winter time is extraordinary. Instead OF
being on bedstead it is on top of a
"kang," or cooking stove. This is long
brick bench, 9 to 10 feet long and feet
wide and about 3 feet high One or more
flues run the entire length near the upper
surface. The cooking during the day heats
all the bricks, and during the night the
heat is re-enforced by small fire at one
end of the bench, whose flame, smoke and
length of the nue in order to escape
through the chimney.
The Manchurian housewife spreads a
mat over the top, and on this libwith her
husband and children covered in turn by n
huge coverlet stuffed with cotton, lined
with sheepskin or made of ancient furs.
In the bitterest weather, something like
that which prevails in Minnesota, many of
the Manchurians use sleeping bags. These
are bags of the same size as the "kang"
made of sheep or goatskin with the woolly
side in Into them at nightfall the wife
slides in the children, then glides in her
self aud is in turn followed by the head of
the household. H0spitable MSnchus have
been known to extend the courtesy Of the
sleeping bag to European visitors and one
or two young Americans are on record as
having accepted the privilege.
What always struck me as being charac-
teristic of the people in my study of them
We're the ornaments or instruments with
which they deflcd evil spirits. In China
the talisman, with IA scrawl over IL, Is
pasted in the doorway and joss sticks are
kept burning both within and without the
house In Manchura knife is driven
into roof beam or II spear; sword or a
dagger may be fastened to a girder, sus-
pended from the roof or hung upon the
wall near the front door. The spirits are
said to reach the threshold, see the weap-
ons, then turn and flee much the same in
the invisible world as they would have
done in actual life below Margherta

Zinc nest WAY to Serve Food.

Refinement in serving food-that is, the
use of pretty and suitable dishes, clean ta-
BILE linen and food that should be hot-hot
in reality, and cold food in the proper con-
dition-may have much to do in making
persons contcnted, even delighted, with
simple diet The idea that seems TO pre-
vail at many hotels and boarding houses
and in some private families is that people
like great variety of food ut one meal,
when in reality satisfaction usually comes
from the fact that in the midst of plenty it
is impossible perhaps to select one dish
that is perfectly prepared and served. A
broiled chop, "A slice of bread or roll and
cup of coffee each perfect of its kind,
may delight the palate of gourmet If the
linen is dainty and the china and silver
pretty and bright.

In reply the girl began singing in a

Where early falls the dew,
And twas there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true,
Gave me her promise true,
And ne'er forgot twill be,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dee.
He used to call her his Annie Laurie.
As the tender melody of the old ballad
came in trembling notes over the wire
tears rolled up in the listeners eyes and
his heart almost stood still. He recognized
the voice, and, as the girl finished singing
the verse, he said, in voice choking with
emotion;
"You are still my Annie Laurie dear
you are still my love. "
It's all right now The lover had been
