in the beyond. After a time Owen
opened his lips as if to speak. The nurse
fastened to him and put her ear close to
the drawn, white face. Then she smiled
and nodded.
"'He would like for you to kiss him

On the forehead the nurse whis-
pered as caution to me. I pressed the
hand that 1 held and leaned over the
white pillow and its pallid patient. AS
my face came close to his a faint smile
of the old kind came to the withered
lips, and trace Of color mounted and
blended with the cruel rainbows of death
that encircled the eyes. 1t seemed that
he was happy. AS I came closer the
smile grew radiant, and the color deep
ened, while the great, honest eyes slow

pressed a kiss. When I raised my head,

English Captain In Chinese Service.
In engaging the services of a compe-
tent British officer to organize it's navy
the Chinese government. e., Lii Hung
Chang-was obliged to resort to duplic-
ity in order to effect a semblance- of
reconciliation between the naval service
and the mandarin system. After the ex-
perience gained in his first term of serv-
ice in China Captain Lang declined to
re-enter it without adequate substantive
rank. Whether this stipulation was
made by the British board of admiralty
before giving him leave to serve or was
imposed by Captain Lang himself is i'm
material. What the viceroy had to do
was to contrive a form of words which
would satisfy the condition without dis
turbing the Chinese official arrange
ments.
Captain Lang was given the title of
coadmiral with Ting, while all authori-
ty was secretly withheld from him. So
long as Admiral Ting was present Cap
tain Lang did not discover his true po-
sition. His advice was followed; he was
on the most cordial terms with his CO.
admiral, and there was nothing to show
he was not, de facto, commander in
chief. AS soon, however, as an accident
caused the two to be separated the stu
alton was revealed. Lang's order to hoist
the admiral's flag was disobeyed, and
Commodore Liu assumed command of
the fleet. An appeal by telegram to
Viceroy Lii only brought stronger con-
frmation of the fact that Lang's Chi
nese rank was never intended to be 9TH
er than a sham. -Blackwood's Maya

Gus Styles of Crepon.
The list Of new crepons is a large one
and we'll esteemed. Stripes and surface
hairs are novel features, as are the new
plaids with dark lines initiating fur.
There are also crepon plaids with satin
stripes.
Cloth appears as usual in tailor made
gowns, and is of fine and supple texture.
Some charming costumes are seen made
OF lavender or dead leaf cloth, set off with
fur.
The mounting of velvet to the height Of
fashion has given additional force to the
liking for furs, since fur and velvet COM
bine SO happily for winter toilets. Cotele
velvets and those varied by satin stripes
dispute precedence with the plain weave,

I cannot exactly fix the date, but as
was then engaged on the now defunct
Caledonian Mercury, it must have been
over 80 years ago. At that time the
'Darwinian theory and the 'Vestiges OF
Creation were creating much excite
ment in Edinburgh, as elsewhere, but,
except to a select few, it was not known
that the late DR.. Robert Chambers was
the author of the latter work. Lord
(then Mr. Moncrieff took occasion to
refer to the controversy, and created
roars of laughter by his ridicule of OAR
Winism.
"When he concluded, gentleman
sitting at the back of the hall, among
the common ruck' Of the audience, rose
and respectfully asked permission to put
a question to the 'Darwinian critic.
There were cries Of Name! Come for
ward 7 etc., but he modestly declined,
remarking, i'll effect, that he only
wished to ask the speaker if he had read
Darwin's Origin of Species. Mr.. Mon

had not, but that he had studied re-
views of it, etc. 4 thought So, quietly

The la Annoy Chinese who
are in quarantine on the island
are giving the authorities lots of
trouble. Three days ago six of
them escaped and agent McVeigh
was compelled to ask for six extra
guards, who were sent over. One
of those who escaped surrendered
today and is now in the police
station. The other five are still
at large.
This morning those at the qua.
rantine station refused to sign
their contracts. Ministers Cooper
and King, with Major Potter,
made two trips to the island today
to try and straighten out matters.

CUSTOM HOUSE CHANGES.
List of Inspectors aud Gunrds-Lots of
Work.

Inspector Hitchcock and guard
Enos having resigned, some nee
essary changes have been made
on the customs force. After to-
day, the discharging inspectors
will be Scott, Schmedon, Bick-
nell, Dowsett andsGroves.
Groves was promoted from the
guards today. The day guards
will be Clark, Houghtailing,
Nunes and Wallace. w. w.
Needham will be district inspec.
tor, having charge of the night
watch. The night inspectors will
be Kanuha and Manoha, assisted
by eight native guards.
Owing to the increasing ton
mage calling at this port, the GUS
toms force has more work than
formerly. Port Surveyor Strate-
meyer has his hands full. In adj
dition to his regular duti,s, he
has to look after all the Asiatic
immigrants, which former survey
ors were not required to do, the
duty being performed by Gus
tom House clerk employed for
that purpose.
Chinese contract laborers arriv-
ing from the Orient give the Port
Surveyor and his men much
trouble. Their friends from up
town go down to the wharf, and jab.
Der away to them before they are
removed to Quarantine Station.
This is where the trouble comes
in, as it is thought the friends
give them bad advice about differ
ent matters. When asked to sign
before going to plantation, some
of them refuse, and then there is a
rumpus. To prevent this as far as
possible, no Chinese, except those
having government passes, are al
lowed on the dock, but still it is
hard work watching them.
