A matter Of almost international in
terest that is known to but very few
intimate friends Of DR.. J. NJ Crawford,
late consul general to St. Petersburg, is
the fact that when he was about to leave
Russia and had severed his connection
as representative of the United States
number of officials representing the
czar of all the Russians called upon him,
and Oh behalf Of the emperor presented
DR.. Crawford with what is probably the
handsomest set of solid silver service in
this city today as token of the esteem
in which the emperor held the consul
general. 1t will be remembered that in
1892 the United StateSsent to Russia
two shiploads of flour, because the crops
there had failed and the peasants were
starving. The ships State of Missouri
and State of Indiana We're dispatched
there with cargoes of flour as gift from
the American people and landed at the
war port of Libau, which is now being
built, and where there were 900 work
men who were on the verge of starva-
ton. DR.. Crawford went to Libau as
the representative of his government to
receive the flour and formally present it
to the Russian authorities for distribu-
ton For the great interest that he took
in it the emperor desired to give an in
dication of the fact that he appreciated
it.-Cincinnati Tribune.

Actually Stealing Wind.

"Say, officer, l wish you'd drive
those hoboes away or run them in, +" re-
quested the manager of Market street

door trying to steal our air all day long +"
"Trying to steal what?'
"Our air-what we use to blow up
pneumatic tires with"

Did you rent it with the premises?
You'll be accusing somebody Of running
off with your sunbeams next. suppose
those hoboes grab a handful of air when
you amt looking, jam it in their pock-
cts and run, eh?''
"Well, If you don't believe it, just
come back here and watch. +"

part Of the establishment, where he
and the officer concealed themselves

tramp peered In at the door, mopped
the perspiration from his face, slipped
up to the little rubber hose attached to

whistled through his clothes, and for
moment he was the picture of CONTEXT

two more were anxiously waiting their
turn at the nozzle.

and wanted to charge him with petty
larceny for stealing air, but had to make

Travels of q Postal Gard.

card which, posted in Madras on the
4th Of January, 1887, was delivered in
Bombay few days ago. The history is
in post marks.
Addressed to firm in Mount road
Madras, the obliterating stamp is dated
"Vepery, Jan. 49," The next stamp
bears the words, "First delivery, Mt.
Road, 8 JAN, 49,"
The card then acquired the legend,
"Not in Mt. Road" and back it went to
the chief office, whose stamp it bears.
A number Of initials on the card and a
multiplicity Of postmarks indicate that
1t had several times been sent out after
this to find an owner, and rough hole
in the center suggests that the postmas-
ter, careful though despairing man,
was eventually compelled to Ale the
document for reference.
On the oath Of April last there was
evidently "spring cleaning" in the
Madras postoff1ce, for the card was then
withdrawn from the file, and the bold
words "Try Bombay" added to the
many legends on the side which is in
tended only for the address.
It reached Bombay on the 28th of
April, and after its long Information the

Hoops Have Arrived,

Two young ladies attracted attention
at the Waldorf today, not because thew
were over pretty or chic, but merely
on account Of their walk. They strutted
about with an ungraoeful movement Of
their flaring skirts suggestive of a

this could hardly be possible the in
quisitive ones who noticed them sought
an explanation from friendly femi-
nine. And what do you think was the
matter? Why, hoopskirtsl "That walk

ONCE HAPPY CHINA

nese Well, l will give it to you. put
aside all the humiliations of defeat and
place myself upon more solid ground.
The war has robbed us forever of our
tranquility and our happiness. We've
happy and led simple lives; but, by
bringing to us what you may call the
benefits of civilization, the Japanese
will destroy our traditions and our he
reditary virtues, confuse our customs and

conquests And what will we gain by
that2
"You fancy that the Chinese are ig-
norant, poor and wretched, but you
must remember that happiness exists in
the idea that one forms of it. In other
words, a man is happy when he believes
himself happy, when he confines his de-
sires to the few joys which are within
his reach. The peasant who eats his rice
at the close Of his days work is salts
fed with his fate, provided he keeps his
eyes away from the riches of others and
closes his heart against covetousness.
The evil sentiments of envy, jealousy
and social hatred have never yet pene-
trated our population. assure You that
you wrong the poor Chinese. They are
gentle, mild, good humored, honest,
scrupulous, loyal, sympathetic and char
liable.
"You may have read tho account of
certain cruelties and barbarities, but
they belong to the laws of war, which
are equally barbarous in all countries.
In condition of peace, when their quie-
tude is not disturbed, the Chinese are of
marvellous benignity, which is only
equaled by the gentleness Of their wives.
fancy that l know the Partisan ladies,
but do not hesitate to say that the
Chinese women are superior to them.
In the first place, our ladies have little
feet.
"They are good natured and devoid
of all coquetry They have deep sen
timent of modesty, and their existence
passes along without disputes and with
out quarrels. The woman who makes
scenes is unknown in our favored eli
mate. Our women are contented with
the dresses their lords and masters give
them, and they never run up bills with
dressmakers or modistes.
Moreover, Injuries in China are not
costly. A furnished house with all the
modern improvements can be rented for
60 francs year. For few cents a day
you can have the most sumptuous din
ners.
"The victory Of the mikado means the
disappearance of our golden age. He has
thrown down our walls. Now, the walls
of China were symbolical They shell
tered the country against the winds
from without. I mean those winds that
bring with them pests and civil war;"
