POWER OF A METEOR.

 Compass.

II Causes a Strange Change in ships
 Compass.
 A very curious observation of the effects produced by meteor seen at sea is made public through the hydro graphic bureau in Washington. Capt. Redman, of the British steamship Ne rano, when little more than two hun dred miles southeast of Cape Clear dur ing a recent voyage from Baltimore to Havrc, saw meteor which appeared tu pass close to his ship.
 An observation of the north star taken soon after the appearance of the meteor showed a surprising result. The direction of the ships compass needle had been changed no less than eleven degrees! Before the meteor passea Inc needle had pointed about degrees 90 minutes west of true north, but now ii pointed , degrees 30 minutes cast of north
 That the meteor had caused tho change was indicated by the fact that witmn twcnJyIour hours the needle returned to iis former position, moving slowly back about eleven degrees toward the west.
 Equally great effects have been pro. duccd upon ships conpasses by light hing, but in such cases the bolts have actuaDy struck the ship The meteor seen by Capt Bedman did not touch hi, ship, and while he makes no estimate of it's actual distance il was probably considerable, since there is no report of its having been observed 10 fall into the sea.

 Dogs have not the same property value here that Jhcy have in England. and this i 50 notwithstanding Che fact that dogs arc property here and they arc not property in England.
 This seeming paradox may be cx- plail-l from the fact that according to the old English laws felony was pun- iahablc by death says IlaTpcr's Weekly 1T dogs had been property then, to steal dog would have been felony, punishable by death. Gt was not con 5idgrcred right that man sbould die for dog and, therefore, dogs were held by Che courts not to be property
 There arc foolish dog laws in nearly every city and town in the United States based on tho presumption that dogs are not property, but such laws would not stand tiratiou and the interpretation of the higher coarcs.

 Twenty years ago. one ofthe sights which amused visitors to St. Georges chapel, Windsor England, was Wise the sexton He was Q Mir. Malaprop with an affection for long words whose forms were changed, and high-sound- ing phrases, which he invariably mis- placed, says London Tit Bits. Sir George Elvey, the organiSt of the chapel. relates several of these mala- propisms in his Life and Reninis- cences." One day clergyman, hurry before afternoon service, remarked that he had walked all the way from Bish- opgatc in less than an hour. Well, 7" replied Wise, you must be a good Presbyteriau, then.H The poor fellow meant pedestrian.

Wise got it into his head that the chapel belonged to him, and that no one had a right to see it without paying him fee. 1t doesn't matter" said he on one occa- sion, "who it is. Nobody-not even Mr. Dean himself f--can't go in the chapel without first insulting Icon sulting) ne. So far did he carry out his idea of ownership that at last itwas ordered by the authorities that no fees should be given for seeing the chapel.

 ''Tho homespun work of John Green leaf Whittier win ou,last the finer fab rics of Longfellow, Lowell Bryant and Emerson" was tho belief 'jiced by John Vance Cheney the otlslr night, in his lecture on the Quaker poet Despite Whitticr's occasional cludeness and stiffness of style and diction notwith- standing he had cssayed to make "banncr" rhyme with 'susquchanna - 'cottoa' with fortune" and had att tempted to force 'onward" and look ing into rhythmical juxtapositiou in the slmc line, yet his spontaueity, sim plicity strength, enthusiasm. warmth of color, humanity and granite in- tensity lowered his muse 60 richly as to make these minor blemishcs but as spots upon the sDlcndor of a sun. More taan any of AmcrlCa naLlvc Bards he had the gift of the lyric muse He was and is the American Burns, singing songs to the hearts of the plain folk.
 Whitticr's nnti-slaycry poems, his lyrics of New England, his songs of labor were reviewed by the lecturer, their faults pointed out and their clus- tering beauties commended. Not so finished in his style as Iougfellow, not gifted with as lofty imagination as Bryant and not showing such dazzling flashes of genius as Lowell Gtill Whit tier surpassed them all in pathos, sim plieity and that indcscribablc wItchery of melody that leads captive the hearts of the people.

How Ai Hung Chang Paid Reverence to
 Ills Mothers Memory.
 A Chinaman, be he king or coolie, is devoted to his father and mother. When either parent dies, custom or dains that the sons shall resign all hon. DTS and employmonts to repair to the ancestral tomb and mourn there for a long period.
 Our former minister to China, John Russell Young, tells in the Review of Reviews how the Chinese premier. Iii Hung Chang, was prevented from pune iiously observing the custom by an Imperial decree.
 The aged mother of the great Chinese statesman died, and he hurried to cele- brate the rites at her grave, accom- panied by his brother, the viceroy at Wuchang. Everyone was expecting the premiers resignation, and his en- forced retirement from all official posi- tions. His enemies thought that Lii had gone finally; his place would be filled byanother, and his power become a memory.
 Suddenly there came decree from liit AAliOttG tbuAuitAubi4S lsa t1 AtA tieiAN mourning and, at the end of three months, resume office His brother was permitted to remain at the tomb and do the fllial reverence. The decree was without precedent; but the emperor was sacred and his command supreme. Iii Hung Chang returned to Tientsin, his home
 When Mir Young saw the premier's yacht anchored in the harbor of Chefoo he went on board to pay his respects. The premier looked like starving beg gar He wore tho coarsest raiment His beard and forehead had not been shaved, and his queue hung down from a clotted mass of hair. Lines of sorrow 'strealled his face, and his hands were grimy.
 The first man in the empire, noted for his carefulness iu raiIuent and clean liness of person, appeared as the mean est subject, that he might, by plivation and penance. do reverence to his mothers memory, according to the creed of his ancestors. A few days later, when Mr Young met Ii at Tientsin, the beggar's mien had van. ished and he was again the we'll appointed nobleman.

 The stipulation in the treaty of peace between China and Japan that the Chinese who have been captured by the Japanese and others who sold sup plies to the Japanese troops in their march through Manchuria and Shant- ung shall not be punished by the Chinese authorities, was inspired by humane considerations. 1t is the GUS tom of China to bchcad such of her sol- diers as fall into the hands of the enc my, and are afterward returned to their country. During several naval and land engagements upward of five thousand Chinese troops were captured by Japanese, and it is to preserve their lives that the foregoing provision was inserted in the treaty The same com alterations influenced the other provi- siun relative to the purchase of sup plies from Chinese subjects. Tho euri- ous fact develops in this connection that China has not single prisoner ot war belonging to Japan,
 The United Press dispatch, which contahlcd the exclusive announcement that tue indemnity of two hundred mil- lion taels win be paid in seven yearly iustallmeutsd differs from oiIi1il) reports previously received, which limited the payment to five instead of seven instoll- ments. l is believed, however, that the statement contained in thc United Press dispatch is correct While mo A,Er,gF, ;., f.,.,,-,a fs.,r, hoo l.Y.., ., d regarding the matter, it is understood that the indemnity will take the form Of bond issue on the part of China, the bonds to be retired during period of seven years, and to benr interest at five per cent per onnum. The presumption is stHl very strong that the indemnity win be paid in silver.
 Until the beginning of the war be- tween China and Japan each country had a consular jurisdiction ovar its 8ub- jccts in the other country It would now appear that Japan win no longer grantthis privilege to China, although stipsl0ting for 8 continuance of this right for herself Tho explanation given for this exception is that Jaran is DOW a civilized country, wigh @ code of laws based oa the highest u-in- ciplcs of justice and equity and taag she can ba safely trusted therefore. to deal fairly with the Chinese subjects living within her borders China, on the Q Der hand, it is asserted, is il 9 barbarous country, and foreigner there must receive the protection of thair own country since little, if any, will be afforded to them by the local authori- ties.
