they are all indoors and prepared for
heavy dinner, with plenty of servants to

FATALITIES of these generous merchants.
Strangers are welcome to this community,
for the Sha-mien people are always glad
to get news from the outside world. In
fact, they are never quite free from a little
restlesSnesS and discomfort with their lot.
No matter how spacious and comfortab BILE
their houses may be or how large their
retinue of servants, or how lavish their
style of living, or how much money they
may be making, they are still always ready
to talk of the time when they may leave
this pretty island and return forever to
their far-off western homes. /. H.

of ours, for it is said to be over 125,OoO.
The saupans have little bamboo houses in
their sterns, and although these boats are
only fifteen feet long they are lived in, day
and night. by whole families. 1 have seen
n family of five living in one of them.
They were like five mice In a cage, and
each little recess or corner of their boat
home was as much enjoyed for nibbling
or sleeping purposes. or as a spot for romp-
ing as if these domestic animals had for
gotten they were intended by nature for a
more human habitation.
Like the Cantonese, the foreign residents
OF Sha-mien use the sanPanS for sending
parcels or MESA ges or as passenger boats
between the suburban districts of Canton.

OF fish Eut the latter popularity he soon
finds all over China, for the whole people
eat fish every day, and as a result it is no
exagEeration to say that the whole coast
from Tung-King to Liau-TunS smells of
fish The fare for the use of sampan is
only about half cent a mile, and in this
economy, as in many others, the foreigner
who lives on Sha-mien finds much to COM
peusate him for living so far from his
home. For If he be an Englishman, he is
no less than 5000 miles from London, or.

When M. Harquener learned that the
youthful widow had gone to the fair with
out him and in company with Pierre he
was surprised. He made them saddle his
kcrse and took the road to Saint-Luc. The
fair vas large and he could not succeed in
finding her for whom he searched.
Now furious and discouraged, he decided
to go and rest himself at the town inn. But
just before he reached the gateway of the
courtyard he came on the cure of Saint
Luc. NJ. Harquenier took off his hat sa-
luting him with courtesy.

thought the man of the church, who did
not love the cotton merchant.

The cure did not like it when one dwelt
too much on tt at robustness which, in his
eyes, accorded lily with his holy mission
but he was one Of those unhappy people
who grow fat no matter what they do to

Pierre continued calm, persisting always
in his silence, always occupied in manag-
ing the horse. Beside him Madame Ursule
felt no fear. And she continued contem-
plating pensively his hefty fists firm on the
reins.
Pierre was net a simpletcn. He would
have asked no better than to declare
love which everybody in the countryside
had long ago discovered, Notwithstanding
all his pains to keep it hidden. But sup

Rich Actors.
A considerable number of actors and &C
tresses, however, have become wealthy;
and at the close of their days on the stage
quietly retired to elegant homes, to live in
ease, IT not luxury, during the remainder
, OF their lives; but, without exception, they
were pre-eminent in their profession, and
able to command salaries the size of which
seemed out of all proportion to the service
rendered. They had become indispensa-
bIlitieS in their calling, the public wanted
to see them and was willing to pay liber-
ally for the privilege; they knew their own
popularity, and stood ready to make the
most of it.
During the season they assumed no risk
and received their money as regularly and
as punctually when unfayorable weather
or the presence of counter attraction di-
miniShed the audiences as when the thea
tiers were packed from door to stage. I'm
der such circumstances they could not
help making money, and several accumu-
lated considerable fortunes, which, how
ever, large as they were, bore little pro-
portion to what they should have had,
when the size of the owners incomes is
taken into consider alton.

Travellers tell us that when the os-
trich is pursued il hides its head in
the sand, the silly bird appearing to
think that IL IL cannot see its pursucrs
they cannot see It.
Equally absurd are those medical adj
visers who prescribe for the symptoms
and not the source of disease. Of
tentimes they do this because the
patient desires it, unwisely demanding
that eruptions or other skin troubles
be cffaccd at once. To do this II is
necessary to use poisonous applica-
tons, which must sooner or later ag-
gravate the disease or cause II to APP
pear in new and more dangerous form.

GREAT SHIPS OF WAR.
Powerful Additions to the United
States Navy.

States Navy.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The two
new battle ships authorized by the
late congress will be the most costly
vessels ever built for the United
States navy. Veterans OF the late
war and others who possess bit OF
wholesome sentiment in their make
up will be glad to know that one of
these great engines of warfare is to
be named for the victor Of the Ala
bama fight, the Kearsarge. The
name was prescribed in the act OF
congress making the appropriation.
Each of these battle ships is to cost,
exclusive OF armament, 100000,
and it is expected the l3.inch rifles
and other guns of the battery will
cost we'll on toward a million more.
Though the law gives the navy de-
partment authority to accept de-
signs for these ships with displace-
ment OF about 10000 tons, the Off
Gals of the department are inclined
to think the vessels will be much
larger, reaching perhaps $4,000 tons
each, still being built within the APP
preparation. The largest vessel now
authorized is the Iowa, building at
Cramps yard, which has displace-
ment OF IL, 410 tons. The Indiana
and the Massachusetts are a little
smaller, having q displacement OF
10,2SS tons each. The law does not
prescribe the speed OF the new bat
tie ships, except it requires they
shall possess the greatest practical
BILE speed for vessels OF that class.
The law also provides that the
armament shall be the most power
full within reach OF the department,
and each ship will therefore carry
four 13.inch guns, which are at pre-.
sent the heaviest ordnance manufac-
tured in the United States, besides
q very heavy secondary battery.
Naval officers say these two great
fighting machines will be able to
cope with the very best battle ships
OF foreign navies, and that there are
not more than dozen ships in the
world ft to rank with them.

we have satisfied every one OF our

us and we are in a position to sup
ply a great many more. The people
who from choice or necessity visited
Waialae during the past two weeks

Our facilities for delivery are the

We take this opportunity to thank
those who have been patient with US

fill all orders telephoned to us and
guarantee all milk to be pure and
free from adulteration.

The Future Of China.

Writing on the future OF China, a
correspondent in the St. James's
Gazette has the following remarks.
Sir Robert Hart referred to has been
in charge OF the Chinese customs
service at Hongkopg for great
many years: at is possible that the
Japanese may succeed in taking
Picking; but the fall OF the capital
has never been followed Immediately
by the fall of the reigning dynasty,
still less by the conquest OF tho
whole country. It would take the
Japanese some time to make them
selves masters OF the interior. Pekipg
is not Paris; aud even IL it were, the
Mikado and his advisers might find
that Chang Chih-tung is capable OF
playing the role Of Gambetta. To
the Chinese the notion Of the disin-
tegration OF the empire would be no
surprise. All one can do at present
is to recommend China to buy peace
on almost any terms. After that
there will be an opportunity for
English action; and our help should
be offered aud given freely, not to
enable the Chinese to prepare for
revenge, but with view to placing
the Administration on a sound foot
ing. The masses. in China are not
at all anxious to have their country
exploited by foreign merchants, and
they are not very fond OF foreign
missionaries; but they would be glad
enough to have few more English
men like Sir Robert Hart to under
take the herculean task OF purifying

Wool Under Free Trade

The London Financial News says:
''There can be no doubt that the removal
of the duty on wool is stim ulating Amer
lean wooden industries to very CONSIDER
able extent. for during the first six
months of this yea1 thirty-eight new
wooden mills have been started in the
United States, against twenty eight IN the
second half and seventeen in the first
half of 1894. But it is not only wooden,
but nearly all textile industries which are
going ahead, and an American trade
journal gives table of the nsw textile
mill enterprises in the United States for
the last three half-years showing that in
the first six months OF 1894 116 tablish-
ments were put in operation. the second
months of 1895 20l such industries were
established
