 Chekiang, China,
 Twice year-at each equinoN--the famous tides of the Tsien Tang river, that flows from the borders of kiungsi, Fuhkicn and Chickiang to Hang Chow bay, attain their greatest height; ard bore of sometimes over 40 feet in height sweeps irresistibly up its Shal- low and funnel-shaped estuary, often producing tremendous havoc to the surrounding country-henee it's name, "moneydille, from the amount eXpend- ed in successive centuries on it's em- bankments. It is seen at it's best at Hang Chow, the prefectural city not far from it's mouth. Twelve or II min utes before it is visible dull, distant roar is heard, momentarily swelling until the wall of muddy water, tall as the bulwarks of the biggest liner as overwhelming as a glacier, sweeps into sight round the bend mile away. Not a boat is to be seen on the lately crowded river; all are hauled up on to the huge embankment and moored fore and aft with a dozen rattan cables, for none but ocean going steamers could stem the current, and even they would need sl,illful navigation.
 As the ogre hears, the roar becomes dealeuing as a storm at sea, drowning the excited shouts of the thousands who line the walls, until finally itfoans past ir turbid majesty, hurrying tc- ward the heart of China. The celestialS have tried to deal with it in every way human and superhuman.

The Texan Thought He Had Falion
 Among Gang of sharrers.
 A Buffalo man who is stopping at the Waldorf told a poker story the other uigat in the presence of a reporter, which, he says, hns never been h2 print, concerning four eminent citizens of his own and bad man from Texas. Ac- cording to the narrative, the four emi- nent citizens wh5 were the then dis trict attorney, the surrogate of Erie county, the proprietor of the principal democratic newspaper of Buffalo and a wealthy iron manufacturer, decided to have a quiet game one evening some time ago, and with this end in view they repaired to a private room over shop conducted by Paddy Lyons, leading saloonkeeper. The four citi- zens considered that five was the proper number to make poker inter- esting and complete, and they accord iugly sent out a messenger to one friend after another to obtain fifth man, but without being able to find one. In the emergency Lyons in- formed them that there had come tp him that day man from Texas, with a letter of introduction from friend ir. that state Perhaps he'd like to joia the game said Lyons.
 q don't know anything about him, except that my friend says that he's all right, but I'll stand for any losses he don't make good" The four eminent citizens said they would be glad to have the Texas gentleman in the game, and he was therefore brought up and introduced. He seemed a quiet, inoffensive person, and he appeared to be acquainted with the game.
 It so happened that the first time it came the deal of the newspaper pro prietor he gave the Texan full hand. That gentleman looked at his cards, glanced about at the other players, and then turning his hand face up on the table, he said; "I pass" with some sig nifcance The four eminent citizens were somewhat surprised, but they continued the game without any con ment. The very next time the news paper proprietor dealt the cards he happened by the merest chance to give the stranger four kings.
 Again the gentleman from Texas turned hi. cards face up on the table, and again he scrltinized the faces of the four eminent citizens. Then h said: live played this game witt.

Imperial Education.

Some suggestive details concerning the early education of the German em- perors have recently been made known. It seems that William II. had in early childhood a tutor who was a captain of the guards. Prince Bismarck had recommended him, and he applied to the heir to the throne the principle on which he had trained his recruits, ''beud or break" The young Hohenzouern was made to rise at 5:3O every morning, and at once begin a course of gym nastic exercises unsuitable for child of his age. It is this regimen, author ities say, which made Prince William so weak and nervous that his grandfather, the old emperor, suggested one day to Bismarck that his captain of the guard would perhaps better return to his re- cruits.

The pallbearers are not to be labeled. They will be distinguishable from the corpse by the fact that they will be alive, and their duties will be understood without wearing printed sign. They must be good fellows, too, bright fel- lows, and they are requested to beguile the way to the grave with cheerful anecdotes of their dead friend,
 None of them may wear gloyes-uu- dertakers' gloves are so starcby and stuffy--and man whose hands sweat is barred; it tarnishes the handles of the colin Grips and signs, swords, feath- CTS and bands are prohibited. The par son who shall say the first prayer shall say the last, and "sprigs of myrtle or acacia" are forbidden The pallhear- CTS are to line up and witness the final closing of the grave. All the funeral arrangements are to be in charge of another friend, a woman, who shall comfort the family and see that chuups keep away from the house; that brown ies be not permitted to 'sit up with the corpse" She shall receive flowers, if any, friends may bring in, return thanks for them in writing, and request the newspapers not to call them floral offerings" She shall also dctach cards from these pretty remembrances and preserve them for the family; the coffin it shall not be called a 'caskct'- must not wear the appearance of a floral bargain counter That moss grown title head, 'Thc Last Sad Rites must not appear over the newspaper accounts of the funeral and having done this last kind service in fairly good English and short sentences, city editors are requested 10 turn again their attention to life and the beautiful world. leaving the dead man 10 make his own way across the dark Kansas City
