ORTENrALLUxUR AT HOME

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engroseing care is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our busting Western world.
There is now hardly a fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an
inner craving for the beautiful things
of life.

He SOLD PEERLESS PAINTS,
Supposed Attempt to Infringe Oh
Peerless Paint Company.
SOtss from Career of Former Owner.
Messrs. AbIes and Walton Hold
Patent Rights.

Some time ago G. J. Wagner
came to this country and after
a career which attracted con-
siderable attention left the city
"under a cloud" Wagner was the
owner of the Peerless Preserving
Paint, and soon after his arrival
disposed of all rights to the sale
and manufacture of the product in
this country to L. G. Ables and II.
?. Walton. During the last month
many of the business houses in the
city have received a circular letter
from "H. K. Hall, Manufacturers
Agent, 221, Front street, San Fran
CISCO" soliciting orders for the
celebrated peerless Preserving
Paint" on very liberal terms.
1t is supposed tkat this is
scheme fathered by Wagner to in
fringe upon the rights which he
disposed of to Messrs. Ables and
Walton. That Wagner is not
above entering into such a deal is
shown by several letters written to
a friend while he was endeavoring
TO get out of the country. In a
letter from Waikiki, dated July
9Th, Wagner wrote, 81 intend to
leave here this a. M. via Maalaea
Bay on Kinau, where / will 90
under the name of @. w. Moore
and endeavor to get the first sail
ing vessel to San Francisco. I am
going to write another letter which |
you can read to any one so as |
20 throw them off. Especially |
read it to Walton also promulgate |
the assertion that / am at Molokai |
looking after the Wilcox, etc, any
thing, in fact, to throw my enemies
off the track"
Again on the 7th, in a letter
from Hilo, he writes: Expect to
be in San Francisco in twenty
days. Say nothing of my wherea-
bouts until you hear from me
again." In a letter written on
board the barkentine Amelia,
Wagner explains the details of his
escape from Hilo under the name
of G. w. Moore, having evaded the
passport law by stating that he was
a tourist and had not been in the
country thirty days. 81 felt easy
as we sailed out of the harbor, but
a little nervous the following morn
ing when we could yet sight Hilo."
Later he writes: ''Should any in
quiries be made about me, say that
l will be back In Honolulu with
that will knock the
paint business all hollow, and that
you would not be surprised to see
me turn up at any time, and yoL
bet / 10iU not. I am only too glad
10 have been able to get away. No
more HaWaii for me"

along slowly, but with a considera
of Chinese shoes with stubby ends,
and he had just turned out of Doyers
street, when the tough, who was
lounging against saloon wall, I'M
dertook to have some fun with him.
Hold up, Chink," said the tough,
lend us a pipeful of DOPE"
AT the same time he reached for
ward, and, Selling the CelestiaPs pig
tail, brought him to an abrupt halt
With an angry chatter that only
served to call forth boisterous
shout of laughter from his prosecutor
and a number of other loafers, the
Chinaman thrust a hand into his
blouse, as if he had weapon there,
but, changing his mind, turned away
and would have gone but that the
tough tweaked his pigtail again,
bringing him up short. This time
the victim looked anXiously about
him as if for help. All the men near
were enjoying his discontinue. Evi-
IDENTIFY no aid was to be expected
from them. Face to face with him
the tormentor stood, grinning ma
liciously. The Chinaman raised an
admonitive forefinger and, pointing
it solemnly at the tough, addressed
him in measured accents.
Hes cussin' youse in the Chink way,
Speck,'' said one of the bystanders
Likely youse'll see joss come chasin'
you up the Bow'ry some night"
Let i'm cuss," said Speck. "I can
give him cards and spades in cussin'."
He began, and, to gather inspiration,
thrust his hands deep into his pockets.
This was a fatal mistake. There was a
swift movement of the little Chinaman' s
leg, wild yell, and the tough's right
leg seemed suddenly to have lost it's
stability. Again the Chinams-l kicked,
landing on Speck's othar shin with his
heavy, blunt shoe, and the prosecutor
sank down OH the sidewalk. Like light
ming the Celestial shook off one of his
shoes into his hand, brought it down
twice on Speck's head with resoundlng
whacks, stretching thai worthy fiat
upon the sidewalk, and then darted
around the corner before the rest of the
loafers got their breath. They lifted
their comrade tenderly, and, carrying
him into a saloon, treated him with
the Chatham square paIlacea-five-cent
whisky. When he had recovered, his
first words were:
"Wat fell on me?"
They explained to him the circum-
stances of the shoes.
"Take me to the hospital" he groan-
ed me leg is broken an me head is
full of bumps, done by dat ratty little
sawed-off pigtail I'll never speak to a
Chink again on my life"

BY One Lone Indian While Out on

Denver News.
1.-The worst scare I ever had" said
Judge Blackham, of Texas, who is
visiting in the city this winter, was
caused by one lone Indian. l have
been through fights with the Indians
when they were falling on all sides,
but that one Indian made my hair
stand on end, sure enough. My part
ner and 1 had taken up forty acres
of land on Ralston creek, just above
where the creek empties into Clear
creek. One day while holding down
the ranch I was walking along the
stream when / saw an Indian ap-
preaching on horseback. He came
at a sweeping gait down the trail,
with his spear elevated horizontally
as if about to annihilate the first
living object he should encounter.
On he came like thunderbolt. |
had no gun, had left my pistol at the
cabin, and had nothing larger as a
weapon than pocket knife. On
came the painted horseman of the
plains. I could not fight-could not
hope to run fast enough to get away
and my only recourse was to dodge
and play friend. Although every
pore in my skin burst into per-
spiration and cold chills crept along
my spine, 1 walked on toward the
approaching foe. l remember that
all the sins 1 had ever committed
flashed through my mind, and my
whole history seemed to pass like a
panorama before me.
when the savage had approached
to about two pony lengths of me he
suddenly dropped his spear, and,
rushing his steed almost to my face,
reached out his hand with a How!
Howl Tobac!
II had no bad habits at that time, y
continued the story teller, ''and had
neither plug nor bottle with me. The
only thing I could part with was a
large rubber comb, and l succeeded
in pacifying the Indian with that
comb 1 felt that it was narrow
escape, and if ever the light, fan
tastic toe was tripped it was toward
the Ralston creek ranch that after
noon."

Such. with a few trivial omissions, is

Such, with a few trivial omissions, is
the wording of the Royal Ordsr author
izing the coinage of a British silver dol
lar. The fac-simile of it in No. is
larger than the original coin, which has
a diameter of ~ inches and weighs 416
grains, or less than one ounce avoir-
dupois (437lla grains). The "Chinese lab
yrinth in the centre" is thoroughly
Chinese in the sense of being radically
different from anybody else's labyrinth
there's no way into the middle, nor
out of it! The hieroglyphics on the
reverse side OF the dollar stand for
zone dollar the Chinese characters
occupying the upper and lower quarters
of the scroll, while the corresponding
Malay characters are to the right and
left. 1t is well to mention this to
avoid any mistakes, and, as the
Chinese minister in England is re-
sponsible for the drawing of these
hieroglyphics. they may be taken as
accurate.

CINDER IN THE EYE.
DON'T Try to Rub 1t Out-Rub the
Other Eye.


Nine persons of every ten, with a
cinder or any foreign substance in
the eye, will instantly begin to rub
the eye with one hand while hunting
a handkerchief with the other The
better way is not to rub the eye with
the cinder in it at all, but rub the
other eye as vigorously as you like,
according to a writer in the Medical
Summary, who relates the following
experience: "a few years since L
was riding on the engine of fast
express. The engineer threw open the
front window and. [ caught a clnder
that gave most eXcruciating pain.
I began to rub the eye with both
hands Let your eye alone and rub
the other, said the engineer. thought
he was chatting me, and worked
the harder. I know you doctors think
YOU know it all, but if you will let
that eve alone and rub the other one
the cinder will be out in two min
utes,' persisted the engineer. L began
to rub the other eye; soon [ felt the
cinder down near the inner canthus,
and made ready to take it out. Let it
alone and keep at the we'll eye, shout
ed the doctor pro tenn. 1 did so for
a minute longer, and looking in a
small glass he gave me found the
offender on my cheek. Since that
time I have tried it many times, and
have advised many others to do so,
and have never known it to fail-not
in one instance, unless it was sharp
as a piece of steel or something that
cuts into the ball and requires an
operation to remove it.

A BRITISH DOLLAR.
John Bull to Put Out Il Silver Coin

At last, says the Strand Magazine.
the slang word dollar" for a crown
piece is to be justified by the coming of
a genuine British dollar--and a very
fine coin it is.
"At the Court at Osborne House,
Isle of Wight, the End day of February,
1895.
Present: The Queens Most Excellent
Majesty, Lord President, Marques of
Ripon, Lord Chamberlain, Lord Ken
sington, Mr.. Cecil Rhodes.
Whereas, it is exp2ditent to provide
for the coinage of a British silver
dollar for circulation in Our Colonies
of the Straits Settlements, Hong
Kong and Labuan, and elsewhere;
Now, therefore, We, by and with
the advice of our Privy Council, and
by virtue of all powers vested in us
in that behalf, do hereby order as
follows:
81. A British dollar shall be coined
under the direction of the Master of
Our Mint, or at one of Our Mints in
British India, and be of the metal
weight and fineness specified in the
Schedule to this Order.
80. Such dollar shall have for the
diverse impression the figure of Brit

her left hand resting on shield, with
ship in the distance and the inscrip-
ton One Dollar and the date of the

the reverse impression, surrounded by
similar border, a scroll pattern with
the Chinese labyrinth in the centre,

and Malay characters respectively ar

| voted the greater part of the last tWen-

The first step / effected by the removal
of one Phoebe Stanley, a girl of gypsy

Italian lad, named Giovanni Paoli, on
the night of March %, 1905 The final
'victim'-to employ a word repugnant
in the highest degree to my feelings
must be my cousin, Stephen Elliott.
His day must be this March "a, 1872.
1.-THE best means of effecting the re-
quired absorption is to remove the
heart from the living subject, to re-
duce it to ashes. and to mingle them
with about pint Of some red wine,
preferably port. The remains of the
first two subjects, at least, it will be

feeble efforts of these beings to wreak
their vengeance on him. l contemplate
with the liveliest satisfaction the en-
larged and emancipated existence
which the experiment, if successful,
will confer on me; not only placing me
beyond the reach Of human justice,
but eliminating to great extent the
prospect of death itself"
Mr.. Abney was found in his chair,
his head thrown back, his face stamped
with an expression of rage, fright, and
mortal pain. In his left side was a
terrible lacerated wound, exposing the
heart. There was no blood on his
hands, and a; long knife that lay on the
table was perfectly clean. A savage
wild cat might have inflicted the In

open, and it was the opinion of the
coroner that Mr.. Abney had met his
death by the agency of some wild crea-

very different conclusion.
