A charming launching party. on board the steam yacht Washington, was given Monday afternoon by several young men complimentary to Misses Katie Giles and Matte -AIeAdory, sponsor and maid of honor of the Bessemer Rifles. There were several visiting young ladies among the party and the ride around the bay was auitera treat and most enjoyable. The evening was an ideal one and the stars shone bn a number of beautiful maidens, whpse beauty was enhanced by the en- trancing strains of witching music Miss es Giles and McAdory the beautiful spon- sor and maid of honor of the Bessemer soldier boys, were the recipients of many social courtesies during their brief so- Journ among us--AIebile Correspondence New Orleans Pieayune.

VARIETIES OF CHINESE.

The Women as Modest as Any in Inc
 .H World.
 Julian Ralph in Harper's Magazine
 There are many Chinas, or many kinds of China. but the only one I expected to find was the one did not see. It was an ideal had been forming all along the years, between my first geography and my latest purchased book-of a country peopled by men wearing broad-brimmed. cone shaped hats. and carrying boxes of tea on each end of the bamboo poles they balanced on one shoulder. That sort of a man I saw once or twice among the millions I met, but the whole combina- tion I missed altogether. My China has it's gentry, it's merchants, its working men and it's farmers-not to speak of beggars. actors priests. conjurers and sailors, We found it's merchant class po- lite patient, extremely shrewd, well dressed, pattern shop keepers. We found it's gentlemen graceful, polished. generous and amiable. But the peas antry, constantly reminded us of the country. folk of continental Europe. out side of Russia.
 Theirs was the same simplicity of cos tune, intelligence and manners. They lived in very much the same little Vil- lages of matched cottages. Theirs was the same awkwardnesS, Shyness, cum ming in trade; the same diStrust of Stran- gers and of strange things. The sharp est fracture of the comparison was seen in the. Chinese farms; for. where we weres every handful of earth was almost literally passed through the hands of it's eultivators, every leaf was inspected, every inch was watered, manured, watched and cared for as retired Eng lishmah looks after his back garden. The result was a fertility beyond com pare 'a-giofy of vegetation, universality of cultivation that permitted no waste places. It, was a system that always included the preparation of a second growth to be transplanted into the place

Some Famous Men Whose Childhood Was
as Remarkable as Their Maturity.
Sir Christopher Wren was a prodigy
in youth, as in maturity. Oughtred, the
first mathematician of his day, declares
in the preface to his great book that an
ingenious boy, gentleman commoner
at Wadham," had enlarged theFciences
of astronomy, gnomonics, states and
mechanics by most brilliant discov-
cries, ''praeclaris inventis. . This was
Wren at the age of Is, A year before
that he had taken out a patent for an in
strument to write with two pens at the
same time In the same year he was ap-
pointed demonstrating assistant on anat-
omy at Surgeons hall.
Wren lived to justify his early prom
Use, but Dugal Stewart tells us of a boy
who, as he hoped, would rival the
fame of Sir Isaac Newton" This was
the son of Count Pusgstall. II cannot
help considering him, " wrote the
Scotch professor, as the most extraor-
binary prodigy of intellectual endow-
ment that has ever fallen under my
knowledge" This is great saying in
deed from Dugal Stewart, who was not
given to enthusiasm nor careless express
sion.
Unfortunately we have no detailed
information about the youths acquire
ments in later years He died at ] 9 of
general decay apparently. But Mr.. Le-
maistre met him in his travels and pub
lished an account in 1906, the boy be-
ing then years old. "He sits on a car
pet, surrounded by his books, and when
the gravest and most acute remarks fall
from the lips of this little person a
spirit seems to speak rather than child,
and the fine expression which sparkles
on his countenance tends to strengthen
the idea.
Among other tests, Mr.. Lemaistre
asked him to make map of the Vene-
tian empire which he did with accuracy.
Those competent to judge the fact will
readily believe that the child of years
who performed it was an animated mir
acle. The French armies barred nearly
every road in Europe to an English
traveller at that date Mr.. Lemaistre
asked how he could get home without
touching Hanoverian, French or Dutch
territory. The child Instantly traced
on the globe the single road remaining
open.' 1t is we'll for this gentleman's
credit that Dugal Stewards evidence,
long afterward, makes the story posi-

an injured toe, was brought into the Of

The sufferer objected to the use of ether
or chloroform, but when the doctor turn
ed out tumbler of whisky for him to
drink he no longer opposed the proceed

trouble. Reviving after the operation,
he looked at the foot meditatiyely for a

marked, 'gi' me another tumberful of
that whisky, an you may cut off another

Truthful.

General Grant was, " says General
Horace Porter in McClure's Magazine,
without exception the most absolutely
truthful man ever encountered in pub
lie or private life He was not only
truthful himself, but he had horror Of
untruth in others. An anecdote illus
trates this trait
One day while sitting in his bedroom
in the White House, where he had re-
tired to write a message to congress, a
card was brought in by a servant.
An officer ON duty at the time, seeing
that the president did not want to be
disturbed, remarked to the servant,
Say the president is not in"
General Grant overheard the remark,
turned around suddenly in his chair
and cried out to the servant:
''Tell him no such thingl I don't lie
myself, and don't want any one to lie
for mel''
