 "I think it is one of the most thought lul points in Divine Providence that the Chinaman was born anything but a sol. dier," said Rt. Rev, Joseph Key, bishop and late episcopal pastor of China and Japan of the M. E. church south. Why" continued the prelate, it is fact which great many people know, and yet which few stop to seriously consider, that fl all the people of this earth were to pass before you on re- view every third one would be a Chi nnman. If they were a warlke race, or if. in fact, they were not strongly aversc to war, they could oyertHrn the world. The Chinese army is but a skeleton. From the emperor down to the most petty officer i'll the empire it IS system of squeezing, and they arc all there to make what is in sight There are a number of posts in China, each in command of . general, and he is supposed to have several thousand mcn. Really, he will have but few When word reaches him that in- spccti0n of his forces will be made on a certain day he goes out into the rice iiells and easily gathers the requi- site number, each one of whom he fur nishes with an imperial ensign and proudly puts them through some sort of evolution before the inspector, whC counts them. and after finding the req uisite number makes the general the annual allowance. When he is well out of the section the men are paid for their time and sent back to the rice fields. Of course, there are some regu. lar troops, but the knowledge of such action on the part of the commandani at interior posts caused nc to say il was but a skeleton"
 Mgr. Philibert Termoz, prelate of the pope, who comes upon an apostolic mission and who arrived in san Fran cisco from the orient the other day has spent several years in Japan and { China.
 The great trouble with China, he !. said lis the lack of patriotism among the people. In Japan every mothers son is steeped in patriotism. In Chinf viceroy and number of soldiers ar, hired to defend the country. They
 might be so many IleSsians for all th' | patriotism they possess"

A Night Watchman Terrorized the Marau-
 der with an Unioadeh Revolver.
 A very large and hopeful burglar, with gunny sack in which to carry away his piunder, pried off the scuttle cap of cellar belonging to the Menlo Park Manufacturing company the other night and dropped lightly down into the vanlt beneath, says the New York Herald. When his eyes became accus- toned to tlre gloom he found a man who had heard him coming standing in heroic attitude with revolver pushed in his face.
 The one was the night watchman and engineer of the building Up with your hands, said he, and up the burglars hands went as if they had been trained to the business and had done nothing else all their lives.
 The position was pleasant one for tho night watchInan. All he had to do was to keep his pistol in position and wait till morning, when fifty 1orlSmeD would rush in, bind the prisoner and es- eort him in triumph to the nearest jail.
 But who was to look after the frcs2
 This thought occurred to him after about an hour had passed, and the bur glars hands had grown white through holding them up too long and letting the blood get emptied out.
 See here" said the engineer, If turn my back on you to attend to the furnaces you'll pick up bit of coal or something and hit me a Diff on the head, steal everything in the house and then go home to your family"
 The burglar said nothing, but looked lot.
 Then" went on the engineer If don't attend to the furnaces, the place'll blow up, or the steamn go down, and then there'n be all sorts of things to pay"
 Better let me go home to me poor muddcr," the burglar suggested, look. ing hopefully mp to the scuttle cap.
 That seemed the only way out of it.. The engineer thought and thought. keeping the revolver cooked the while. Suddenly he burst out withi
 "Sayl Did you ever fire furnace2h
 Nav" quoth the burglar. Lem me go home to me mudder."
 
 Well, get move on you, you son of pirate. Take that shovel and put the coal in. Now turn the fires Don't you know how to turn fires? Well, you've got five hours to learn. Hurry up, dGrn you, or there's bullet waiting for you here if you don't"
 At the point of the revolver the en- Eineer kept the burglar working all night. When he wasn't busy at the coal he kept him polishing up the brass work, and after he had finished the l brassworlS he made him swab the floor and empty ont ashes. The burglar ad- mitted that he hadn't done any work for five years When the worl<mcn came in the morning and took him off l to the police station he almost tainted 1 from exhaustion.
 The engineer said to his wife when he went home: Lucky thing all round, isn't it, that that blamed bur. glar didn't notice my pistol wasn't | loaded"

 King Oscars appeal to the Swedish people to worthily celebrate in Deeem- Der next the tri-ccntennal anniversary of the birth of King Gustavus Adolphus, the great hero king of Sweden and one of the first and strongest champions of Professionalism, has, according to the Chicago Record, had the effect of call ing to mind the fact that there is not drop of the blood of that monarch in the veins of the present rCigRlng fam fly excepting in those of the crown princess. and, through her. in those of her children, duke of Scani duke of Sundermanie and the duke of Westman- land, For the mother of the present grand duke of Badcn-fGthcr of the crown princess of Swedcn-Was a daughter of that prince ot Vasa who died toward the end of the ffties and who was the last male descendant of the Vva dynasty.
 This Prince Vasa was the only son of King Gustayus ", who was dcpoSed by his subjects and driven into exile, the general impression being that he wasinsane his mental faculties wrecked by the terrible assassination of his father by Count Ankerstrom at bah given in the royal palace. After his deposition the Swedes called his uncle to reign over tbem, and as the latter was childless and there was no other Vasa prince save the deposed king and his son, they proceeded to elect French Field Marshal Bcrnadotte, of peasant birth and married to the daughter of French stockbrolser, as crown prince, It is he who was the grandfather of the present king.
 It may be added that the Swedish nobility, which is very proud and has an immense idea of its own importance and lineage, looks down upon King Oscar as parvenu, and attends his court with more or less evident re- luctance. They still revere tine mem ory of the Vasa kings, and there is scarcely one of them who, when trav, cling through Germany, does not make point of callingat Dresden to pay his or her respects to Queen Carola of Saxony, now the only surviving daugh- of the last Prince YaSa.

A Montana Man Who Has More Thar

 Alr. John D. Losekamp, of Billings, Mont, practically holds the elll-tootli stock of the entire country, and to his already enormous supply he is con stautly adding, the Indiansand hunters bringing teeth to him from all over the country. Not every one knows, says Forest and Stream, that the elk teeth, or rather the tuslSs, of which t1yv only are found in the mouth of the adult SilS, have a practical commercial value. The teeth are used as jewelry, mostly as pendants on watch guards or insignia of the secret society known as the EllSs. The value of $ tooth ranges from fifty cents to two dollars and fifty cents, according to its size, color and marking. Mir Losekamp has HOW over eighty-six thousand elk teeth deposited in safety vaults, Many of the old Indian dresses were highly ornamettcd with elk teeth, some of them beirg falrly covered with the teeth Mr. LoselSanp has lived on the frontier all his mature life, and under- stands Indian trading perfectly, yet he has sometimes paid over one hundred dollars for single garment thus orna- mented, caring, of course, for nothing but She teeth. The Indians dTilf the teeth to faster them on their dfesses, and this does not inJuTe the value of the tooth, but they have much worse habit of sometimes staining the teeth 8 bright red. I'fns dye cautot Dc ex- tracted, and depreciates tlIs value of the elk tooth for white customer, The 1ndiabs do not dye the teeth so much now since they have learned they can sell them fof ulors in their natural state.

 Responsibility Necessary.

Responsibility Necessary.
 People who live among our forests have seen them burn so often, while no effort was made to ascertain the cause or punish the carelessness or criminal ity of the incendiaTy, that they have naturally come to consider forest prop erty in class by itself, with no right Co protection against fire, like a dweil- ing house or other property. Not un- til these views are radically changed, says Garden and Forest, and 1t is ap- preointcd that forest fire, from it's possible magnitude, is the worst possi- blc fire, will legislation be of substan- tial value What such legislation should be in its essence is well set forth in a circular to lumbermcn pre- pared by B. E. Fernow and sent out by the department of agriculture. An efficient law will assume that organ izcd machinery must be provided to make it effective, and, since the dam age done by forest fires extends beyond mere private and personal loss, the state must be represented by some one empowered to organize fire service. Responsibility for the execution of the law must rest upon this executive head, and facilities for prosecuting of lenders must be at his command. Nothing like any voluntary service can be trusted Officials must be paid and must be held responsible for care in performing their duties and obedience to regulations. Thls point cannot be insisted upon too strongly. Protection against fires win cost money, and this fact must be recognized at the outset. Again, Che common interest in the pro lection of property must be recognized by creating financial liability for its enforcement on the part of the com- munity ant it's members--that is, each county, for example, must be obliged to pay into the state treasury certain sum of money for every acre burned over each year, as a fire indemnity fund, to be applied to the maintenance of the system and for the payment of damages to those whose property has been burned without neglect on their own part
 A law based on such principles is now in force in Maine, and the people of that state are proving that t can be made effective.
