Fernandina, Fla, January S.-iSpeciai.)-
The phosphate shipments through THIS port
for the year 1894, as compiled at the custom
house today, aggregated lS5,5O9 tons, an
excess of nearly $500 tons over those OF
1898. Since the discovery of Florida phcs-
phate was made in the latter part OF 1888
Fernandina has shipped 1887 tons, all Of
which has been hauled here from the mines
by the Florida Central and Peninsuiar
railway, which company has erected here
at tide water an immense elevator and
long lines of wharVes. This elevator has
storage capacity OF 1900 tons. For the
year of 1925 the shipments of phosphate
from here will hardly exceed l2j,0oD tons.
for the European buyers have taken adj
vantage for the last two years of the very
low conditions Of the market and low
freights and have succeeded IN storing in
Europe the enormous amount of $4,000" tons
Of Florida phosphate Now that il Is impos-
sible for the price 20 further decline, they
intend to dispose Of what they have on
hand, which viii have a tendency 10 i'm

in our own theaters by the orchestra

while to further propitiate eastern

however, wonderfully successful in

Prizef1ghters rs Husbands.

A woman remarked the other day
that she did not see how anybody
could marry prizefghter. 1t was
a speech that showed lack of ret1ec-

centuries ago the Roman matron-
aye, the wife Of a senator would for
sake children, country, sister, hus-
band, for the sake of a gladiator.
'''Tis the sword they love" says Ju-
venal. but let this gladiator but
once receive the token of his dismis-
sion he will appear in her eyes as in
significant as her old husband"
And why should not pugilists be
good husbands, kind, thoughtful and
generous providers? In England,
where the art of wife beating has
been developed to a high state of fin
ish and by many is regarded as a
marital grace, it is the nobleman, not
the pugllist, who has borne away
from courts the laurels for complete
and scientific thrashing. You doubt
this statement? Read the reports of

nagger is generally a man of regular
and outwardly approved life.-Bos-

he had foolishly thrown away his
chance for success by taking to liq-

he was to blame more than any one

I overheard him talking to his wife,
who, womanlike, still had confidence
in him.

Useless Amputation.

DIR. Bones wife was awakened by
noise in her room the other night,
and whe2 she sat up in bed she saw
the doctos standing over the arm
chair in the room. He had towel
tied around one of the legs of the
chair, and with a handsaw he was
cutting it in half. Mrs. B. ex-
claimed:
Henry, what in the name Of com
mon sense are you doing?"
"H-s-s-h, replied the doctor, you'll
wake the patient. You hold the chic
reform to his nose while l take his
leg off. I'm about half through the

Then Mrs. Bones got out of bed
and shook him and pinched him I'M
til he woke. Then he exclaimed:
"How's the patient?'
Mrs. Bones merely said, Come to
bed, you idiot, and stop hacking up
the furniture"
"Gracious, Maria" said the doctor
as he collected his scattered senses,

A Laundryman Gave Up Business.

ST took my laundry to newly
opened place on the West Side in Chi
cago," said G. L. Cramer. ut was a
nice looking place, and the proprie-
tor, very young man, confidentially
informed me that he had only opened
a week before, and it was his first
business venture. When I returned
for my clothes, I found an excited
crowd. The laundry was closed, and
the proprietor could not be found.
We broke in the door finally, as they
said he had been gone for two days.
There was an immense pile of laun-
dered clothes, but not a mark of any
kind to identify them. The proprie~
tor had forgotten this important
feature, and when he viewed the
great pile without any possibility Of
separating them he had fed. After
an hours search I found my own
linen, but I have never seen the
laundryman since. Cincinnati En-

koREA,s KING AS A SCHOLAR.
His Majesty Once Conducted the Examine
lions at His English School.

His Majesty once conducted the EXam1nas
tions at His English School.
In Korea they have a method of
civil service examination that is
unique The Chinese go in a great
deal for educational tests and all
that sort of thing, but nowhere else
in the world can be found a system
that brings together so closely the
chief ruler of the country and appli-
cants for government appointment
as in the Hermit Nation. Some
years ago the king engaged the serv-
ices of three American college grad
yates and opened an English school
in Seoul, somewhat after the style of
the University Of Tokyo. A certain
number of students are supported
and taught at the expense of the
government, the object being, by a
seven years course in English and
the natural political sciences, to edu-
cate the young men of the nobility
for positions of the highest grade.
Much opposition to this innovation
was at first shown by what might be
termed the know nothing element,
but the king never wavered for a
moment in his devotion to the school,
and each year took personal charge
of the examinations. He not only di-
rected but conducted them himself.
One of the American professors, in
describing his experiences in Korea,
thus pictures the method of the royal
examiner and his system of marking
the candidates:
Ellis majesty kept account of ev-
cry mistake in pronunciation and
Interpretation and knew just how to
grade the man. In every case he APP
pealed to us for our Judgment as to
the grade which the man deserved
and afterward ordered as he thought
best. There we're four grades:
Tong, which meant perfect; yak, ;
which meant second; chou, third,
and 'poul, failure. When the king
announced what the man was to re-
ceive, one of the courtiers picked up
a block of wood on which was writ
ten the Chinese character for that
grade, and placing it on salver
elevated it before the king and pro-
nounced the name of the grade in q
loud voice. Then the student retired,
and another was called UP. For three
days the examination went on, one
day being occupied in examining
*heir ability to write English at our
dictation At the end his majesty
took cognizance Of those men who
had passed the best examination,
and the prizes were given in the
shape of what is called here rank
which really means some place
under the government. There are a
score of different ranks, and the ris-
ing from one to the other Of these
forms is the highest ambition of the
Korean. New York World.

A Hard Name.

When Lord Randolph Churchill
was last in America, he visited Phil
adelphia, and while collecting statis-
tics relating to the state prisons Of
Pennsylvania he was referred to the
head Of the state prisons board, Cad
wallader Biddle. Before calling upon
Mr.. Biddle, however, Lord Randolph
fell into the hands of some wags of
the Union League club. you've cot
the name wrong" said one Of these
merry testers. Its not Cadvallader
Biddle, but Bidcallader Waddle. y
Don't mind what he says, Lord
Randolph" exclaimed another
"The real name is Wadbillader Cad
die" A third member took the ex-
chancellor Of the exchequer aside and
impaired to him in confidence that
he was being gulled on all sides.
What, then, is the actual name of
the prisons board chief" anxiously
asked the noble lord 1.-THE actual
name, confded his false friend, g. is
Didbollader Middle. " And when
Lord Randolph drove to the prisons
board that evening he was SO upset
that he stammered: "Will you take
this card into Mr. Bid--cad-wid.--
wad did dollader, what's his
name? I mean the chief of the board,
but now forget his extraordinary
nomenclatural combination. San

His Evil Eve ouailed the Italians.

One Of the many superstitious fears
that render the laborers from sunny
Italy so generally docile was recently
taken advantage of by shrewd Irish
foreman employed on a public job.
There was a misunderstanding likely
to result in a general strike, and he
assembled the men together, listen
ing patiently to their statement of
grievances. When they concluded,
he called to his side the bookkeeper
of the contractor, a man with pene-
trating dark eyes, one Of them quite
still because it was artificial The
foreman stated with emphasis the
only terms upon which he would
compromise, and the bookkeeper
kept his "evil eye" fixed on the
crowd. The terms were accepted
without a murmur, and the crowd
hastily dispersed. The bookkeeper
was entirely unconscious Of perform
ing any part in determining the con-
troversy. philadelphia Record.

TIE HINDOO's RELIGION.
He VIII 1nnict rortures on Himself Flo

He Will Inhict fortunes on Himself For
Penance, but Never Kills Mosquito.
Asia e1aggerates all things, and
the virtue of penance among the rest,
but the virtue is still believed in,
even in western Europe. The writer
has seen a gentleman Of Bengal, re-
markable at once for wealth and fat
ness, crawling, stretched at full
length, along a road before the
image Of Juggernaut, suffering, in
fact, torture such as no one would
infict upon a convict. And he has
known one of his own clerks, man
of singular ability and bonhomie,
who, being suddenly struck, through
the death Of an only son, with the
conviction of sin committed in past
existence departed at once for Be-
mares to live there on aims, seated
as a naked Sunyasee, covered with
dust, by the holy rivers side. There
are thousands of men in India at this
moment who under this impulse are
enduring fortunes, or making painful
pilgrimages, or living the lives of
hermits in the forest.
The second aid is ceremonial pu-
rity, the living by a rigid rule of life,
so rigid that it is almost intolerable,
which preserves what Catholic
bishop would call his "sanctity,"
and which the Hindoo believes may
be preserved to every member of his
creed who will walk according to his
law With the majority the search
for that aid degenorates, as it did
among the Hebrews, into reverence
for meaningless ceremonial, chiefly
restrictive, which to men who aro
free of burden seems positively silly,
but with a minority, a small minor
ity, it produces lives Of singular re-
finement and characters with some
thing of divine grace and beauty.
One such Hindoo it was tho
writer's privilege to know intimate
1y, and he is assured, though his
friend never killed mosquito, but
always blew it off, that few Chris
tians have rlvaled him in the per-
fectness of his daily life. And the
third aid, which has for the Hindoo
unbounded value, is external, and
consists in what to make it intelligi-
BILE to our readers we must call &C.
cruing grace, coming from the divine
potentiality residing in certain
places, say Benares, as the one best
known here, Or in rivers such as the
Ganges, or even in persons such as
the few living saints whose touch
confers some degree of vitalizing
merit.
There are temples and even trees
living under which renders it, in
Hindoo opinion, easier to be pure
that is, to live the life through
which alone man can attain to bet
ter life and ultimately to absorption.
London Spectator.
