Rev. S. Price tells goard story
Along in the spring vine came up in
his garden and began to flourish. He
nurtured it with tenderest care
dreaming Of those large, yellow, lus.
cious pumpkins it would yield. Soor
it bore fruit, but it wasn't exactly Of
the pumpkin species. 1t was a goar6
vine. but he let it grow. One day he
remarked to gentleman on the
street that that goard vine OF bis had
200 goards on it. The man looked at
Rev. Price suspieicusly and then re.
Numbering that the owner of the
goard vine was minister, he wilted
and said he believed the story. To.
day Rev. Price more than verified
his first estimate by counting the
goards on that one vine. There are
$50 goards. What's the matter with
making gOarcs a staple article?

He was one of the guests at the

he was also one of a party ON a drive
through the mountains to return to
the hotel in the evening. He was
quite attentive to one young woman
in the crowd whom he had known
only day or two, and at one point
where they all got out of the stage he
essayed to help her in again, and in
doing so it was necessary to come very
near putting his arm around her waist.
"What do you mean, sir?" she asked.

Il only meant to help you in the stage. !"
at wasn't necessary to put your arm
around my waist, was it?"

blushing very much indeed.
"Well, SIR" she concluded, emphat-
ically,. II want you to understand
hereafter that allow no man to put
his arm around me unless he is think
ing about what he is doing"
Then she smiled, and the entire
stage load gave the backward young

Not u Pleasant People.

An almost unknown race-or ore
rarely visited by Europeans-is de-
scribed by Mr.. G. $. Robertson. These
people live in the sub-Himalayan region
and are called Katiristans. In many
respects they are not pleasant people.
Their worst mental peculiarities are GU
pidity, jealousy, and intertribal hatred.
On the other hand they have a strong
family affection and are capable of acts
of heroism when at war. For killing
one Of their fellow tribesnen banish-
ment is the penalty. They have their
cities of refuge. They have medicine
men. Mr.. Robertson intimates that
there is secret valley in Kafiristan
where an unknown tongue is spoken
the sound of which is like "a soft
musical mewing.''

A DANGEROUS TREE.
The Manchineel of Africa - How 1t Is
Used by the Natives.


Used by tho Natives.
Everywhere the manchineei has the
unenviable reputat ton of being most
dangerous tree, in the shade of which
it is never safe to rest. This evil repu-
tation has it's origin in the poisonous
qualities Of the sap and fruit of tree
of this kind fordld in Africa-the ar
borescent euphorbia. This tree has
magnificent but most peculiar appear
ance, and the thickness of its foliage,
which wholly excludes the sun, seems
it's branches.
The negroes have a way of taking
advantage of the delightfully."- cool
shade and at the same time avoiding
the danger from the poisonous drop
pings of the tree. They erect
that he'd roof below the lowest branch.

carved or painted on the bows, which
are usually supposed to be mere fam

FALL or a DYNASTY.
Prophecy Foretelling the End OF the Pres
emit Ruling House of China.

Prophecy ForetelIing the End Of the Pres
ent Ruling House of China.
Reports of serious revolt against
the present Chinese government in
Manchurin, and the issue OF proclama-
tions by the rebels declaring that the
Manchu dynasty is near its end, have
created u great deal OF interest among
\ the foreign colony in the treaty ports,
says the Shanghai correspondent OF the
New York Sun. News that bears d.
rectly upon the reported disafection
in many provinces of China comes from
Marking. 1t appears that all up
through the great valley of the
Yangtse finely written prophecy of
the approaching end of Manchu rule is
being circulated. 1t is almost impos-
ible for a foreigner who has not lived
in China to understand the Importance
that is given by the gentry to any
thing which is we'll written or care
fully printed. If such a document
does not strongly violate the proba-
bilities it will be accepted as gospel
truth.
This prophecy appears to be firmly
believed by all the Chinese who have
read it. 1t purports to have been writ
ten by Huan-Peh-Shan, who, in vi
sion, describes the downfall of the pres
emit government. It shows considera-
BILE literary ability, but anyone who is
skeptical may readily see that the au-
thor has thrown in local detail to clinch
his prophecy.
The sketch Of the emperors of China
is very well done, but this historical
introduction appears to have been
written merely to lull the suspicious of
the reader and to induce him to accept
the sensational statements about the
coming ruin of the Manchu dynasty.
The prophet declares that the great
provinces of Yunan and Kueichou are
the first that will abandon the empire.
After this China will be divided into
three kingdoms, but this will not take
place and permanent peace will not be
secured until the woods are cleared
from Purple mountain and the waters
of Lotus lake are dried up. The spe'
cious nature of such a prophecy may
be seen when it is stated that about all
the forests has been cut off of Purple
mountain, wilhelm dry years one may
walk over Lue Deu ol AAOIuS Adh0,
which is converted into solid ground.
Any season of drought may, therefore,
be taken by the conspirators with the
assurance that the two main items of
this prophecy will be found fulfilled.
In Human there is deep feeling
against the present dynasty, because OF
it's favors shown toforeigners. Human
is the seat of set of fanatics who
would rejoice to see every European
thrown out of China. In this province
have occurred the worst outrages on
Christian missionaries, and anyone
journeying up the Yangtse retains
vivid recollections of the showers of
stones and obscenity that descended
upon his house boat from the neighbor-
ing banks. Intercourse with foreign
ers seems only to intensity the popular
hatred of the European interlopers,
who, they think, arc encouraged by the
young emperor and his advisers. The
worst feature of the situation is that
the central government does not dare
to rebuke the insolence Of the Human
people.

In Cold Weather.

=
We observe that about this time OF
year many individuals benevolently dis
posed toward the human race are giving
free advice to their fellow men about
taking care of themselves in cold wealth.
or. Advice is perhaps the only oommod.
ity we really enjoy giving away free.
Perhaps that is why the self appointed
doctors are so profuse and elaborate in
their directions. ......> f..v
One genius says you must never begin
q journey until you have eaten your
breakfast. Then line or two below
this he says you must never under any
circumstances take warm drinks before
you go out in the cold. Shall we then
drink ice water with our breakfast, or
shall we drink our coffee stone cold?
Which will be best? .....- r.:
Don't lean your back up against any
thing that is cold, says the adviser.
Keep your back we'll covered up; also
your chest-that is to say, you must
take section of blanketing and cut a
hole in the middle to put your head
through. Let half of the thing hang
down over your back, the other half
down over your chest, then put your
clothes on over all this. It is true, you
will look like Santa Claus or stuffed
paddy, but what's the odds? g.aE "A. (
Again, you must never stand still in
cold weather. When the Thermometer
registers freezing or whereabouts. drink
the ice water for breakfast, put on your
padded blanket fore and aft and 90 ont.
Cover your nose with . silk handker-
chief. Then, with the padding on you
and the ice water in you, keep skipping
about every second like frisky young
lamb or a flea. To be still a moment is
death. -.
After you have taken exercise of any
kind, DON'T as you value your life, ride
in an open carriage or near the open
window of a car. If you have load Of
hay to haul to market, put box all
around it and then get into the box, SO
that you may not ride in an open car
riage. Meantime, if in spite Of padding
yourself like mummy and never going
out after drinking anything warm and
mailing yourself up in box every time
you go anywhere after exercising. You
still get cold and sore throat, as yon
will be certain to do, then stop talking
at once. If we talk while we are hoarse,
our kind friend informs us we run the
risk of permanently losing the voice. &c.
if you are hoarse and wish to tell man
his house is on fire, go and learn thu
