A SLAVE, NOW AN EMPRESS.
Romantic Story of the Dowager En-.

press of China.
There is no more dramatic story in
the world of fiction than that of the
dowager empress of China. She was
the child of poor peasants living in
the suburbs of Canton, and was re-
markable for her beauty and intelli-
gence. When her parents were actually
starving she proposed that they should
sell her for a slave. This course was
followed, and she became the property
Of famous general, who was so de-
lighted with her beauty and ready wit
that he adopted her as his daughter.
At Peking she came under the en-
peror's notice, and his majesty made
the former slave his wife. So highly
did he value her intelligence that at
his death he left her regent of the en-
pire, and she is accredited with admin
istering the affairs of the state better
than almost any of her predecessors.
Her views in regard to the mission
question in China are most sensible.
Her majesty thinks that if the mission
aries would interpret the teachings OF
Confucius in accordance with Christian
principles they would have great sue
cess among the people. But to tell the
Chinese that everything they have
heretofore believed is all wrong results
in Confucian worse COMPOUNDED.

USED A LADDER TO GET IN BED
Remarkable Experience of an
American Tourist in Ireland.

Remarkable Experience of an
American Tourist in Ireland.
An American who lately visited Ire
land writes: In the hotel at Dublin
was a bed so large and so high that it
seemed a lakeland of mattress over
Swallowed by cliff of headboards.
TT seemed preposterous that anyone
should monopolize a bed of such size
and attempt to warm it. By proper
division it would have supplied a FAM
lily.
When it came time to retire the
question was not how to get into bed,
but how to get ON the bed. The top
mattress was almost chin high, and it
seemed that to reach it there would
have to be hard climb or desperate
leap.
while the problem of retiring was
under consideration a dark object was
seen in one dim corner of the vastly
bedroom, which was imperfectly light
ed by a solitary candle.
This object proved to be a movable
stairway, mounted on rollers. When IL
was pushed against the mammoth PED
the problem of how to retire was I'M
mediately solved.
One had only to ascend the STAIRS
and then fall off into the embracing
depth of this most remarkable bed.

New York. Nov. 23.-The New York
Financier says this week:
As is usually the case when heavy
gold exports are being made. the state
ment of the New York clearing banks
does not reflect existing conditions AS
shipments during the six days cover
ed by the report aggregated over
$7,OOOOOO, the banks dispute the fact
that they received more currency from
the interior than they shipped, must
have lost largely in legal tenders,
which were withdrawn for the ex-
change of gold at the sub-treasury.
For six weeks past the specie item in
the statement has been showing a
heavy gain.
The gain reported by the combined
banks for the week was S516700, bring
ing the total specie item to sec, 2S4, 500,
or an increase OF nearly five and one
half millions since Oct. II last. This
regular increase has given rise to a
rumor that the New York banks were
preparing for another bond issue, but
as the banks have been losing gold
since June 1 until recently and now
hold less than was reported Immediate
1y after they had absorbed a bond is
sue the small increase does not seem
to possess much Importance. 1t is
doubtful too, whether the recent ex-
pansion of the specie item means that
the banks possess that much more
gold. since silver certificates are also
counted as specie.

MUST KNOW MORE THAN BOOKS,
The Public Librarian Needs to Be an
Active and Pushing Business Man.

The usefulness of a public library to
community is not measured by books
and building, but by the ability of it's

ers. Put good librarian in a roouny
shed with a few thousand books, says
the Philadelphia Press, and he will do
more for city and it's real education
than man who is not both an able
and trained librarian with half a
million books and a building which
cost $1,000000, or, as in Boston. four
times the value of the books in the
houses. A great public library today
is simply terminal facilities and a dis
tributing station for literature. The

Recent Discoveries Made in CaIifor-
MIA Grow in Interest

Some excitement has been caused by
reported interesting discoveries made
on the north side of San Miguel noun
tain by two mining prospectors, the
discoveries comprising a prehistoric
stone roadway, a number of mining
tools and unmistahable traces of an
ancient mining camp. The age of the
roadway was indicated by the growth
upon it of large trees. What were be
lieved to be the dumps of one or per-
haps two mines were also found, and
chunks of ore which carried gold and
silver were picked up there.
The prospectors, says the Globe
Democrat, have been very reserved
in speaking of their discovery. They
arrived here a few days ago, however,
and it has leaked out that it is of much
greater interest than at first supposed.
The stone paved road was traced to
a wall of solid and we'll executed ma
sonry. This was found to surround an
Enclosure now filled with debris, but
which is believed to be an old arastra.
A portion of the floor is there, and
fragments of a crushing stone were
found Near this arastra was discover
ed the mouth of a tunnel filled with
debris. This is now being cleaned out
A keystone surmounted the arch at the
entrance, and the walls are well de-
fined, though somewhat disintegrated.
In the vicinity are also traceable the
foundations of no less than nineteen
small houses, and a fiat stone, bearing
an inscription which has not been de-
ciphered, is thought to mark the To-
cation Of a grave. 1t is believed that
the cleaning of the tunnel and the
pushing of the investigation into the
mountain will lead to more interesting
discoveries than any yet made bearing
on the life of ancient man in this re-

poor man at 1000. No man really
equal to managing a library with an
income of $4,000 or $4,000 year can
be got for less than $4,000 or $4,000,
though men can be had cheaper, and
cheap management, always the dear
est, will be the result.
A librarian today is not a man who
can talk about various kinds ~ books
in an interesting way, or who can
catalogue books. or who for years has
always been at odd library jobs, or
even is interested in literature" and
thinks that his general knowledge of
books fits him for the work of Ii
brar1an. The new librarian is
as active and pushing as any
business man; he studies a city
like retail dry goods man; he sees
what people are going to read and he
uses the knowledge to turn them to
what they ought to read. He CLASH
f1es and catalogues and arranges and
distributes his store of 10000 to $780,
600 books so that the rare books which
some specialist wants to see once in
ten years can be got just as easily
and as quickly as the novel which
every one wants and of which the
library has to have fifty copies. Such
a librarian knows what schools are
studying and he puts books in the way
Oh the pupllS. lie knows what is go
ing on, and the delivery desk is always
ready with an answer to any question
about the books on any subject up for
talk. He is alive to the finger tips and
he makes all his books live No big
auction of book rarities worth their
weight in bank notes which takes
place from Berlin to San Francisco
passes without his getting what the
library needs, and no ragged boy
strays into the public library wonder
ing what it is like but finds himself,
he does not know quite how. seated

Erratic Pennsylvania Insects Tha
Delight in Hitting the Pipe.

The argument that dumb brutes shun
the beverages and drugs that man uses

far as Bucks county bumblebees are
concerned. Some of them have been led
sadly astray and are addicted to hitting

ON Finnhook farm, about mile west
of Doylestown, the trial grounds of a
well known Philadelphia seedhouse, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. In one portion
of the farm are several large beds of
poppy plants. 1t is here the bees get
drunk. The poppies are not the poisonous
Chinese variety from which opium is OBJ
tanned, but they contain enough of the
seductive juice to make a man dizzy after
spending some hours in the patch. Guam
titles of bees can be seen lying about in
the cup-shaped flowers. A recent visit
to the farm was very interesting. Bees
were to be seen in every stage from par
tial intoXication to death itself. the
