CHINESE SLAVERY.
Millions of .Polygahous Houses and
 Millions Of Slaves

Millions of .Polygahnous Houses and
 Millions Of Slaves.
 Seattle, Wash, July 24.-Rev. J. E. Adams, a Chinese missionary, writing from Hong Kong to friend in this city, says:
 Slavery and polygamy seem to be twins, and they go hand in hand to- day in China. There are millions of polygamous houses in China and mill lions of slaves Even in those Chinese cities which are owned by European governments, such as Hong Kong, Sin gapore, Penang, Macoa, Manila, Bata- vie and Delhi. slavery is almost as prevalent as in China proper
 Slave girls are purchased from their parents or guardians when they are quite young. From three to seven years is the favorite age in the market. The price Is then quite low, ranging from S10 to SIG, and the danger of the child becoming homesick and running away amounts to nothing. They are treated kindly, and at fifteen are often admira- ble housekeepers. They receive no wages, of course, and as for lodgings. they are supposed to sleep-well, any where-on two chairs, board, stone bench OF tile floor A great many girls are sold into immortality by their parents annually. and go into the low est dens in the Orient.
 Girl slavery has been favored by the Chinese for many centuries, and is an organic feature of their civiliza tion. It extends from the imperial household in Pel1in down to the lowest coolie family. A San Francisco merchant of good so- cial and financial standing has three beautiful daughters who belong to one of the worst dens in Hong Kong. Their mother was a slave whom he owned while there"

THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE CAT AND
THE TIGER.
Peculiarities of Each.

The cat and tiger belong practically to
the same genus or family.
But they vary in habits and natural
tendencies.
A tiger will spring upon and destroy
deer
A cat will watch for hours and take
delight in destroying vermin.
Each organ in the human body has its
special function or duty to perform, and
does it.
The stomach seizes upon our food,
digests it, and so prepares it as to
nourish the various tissues. d
The kidneys, on the other hand, have
different work to do.
Like the cat they lie in wait and seize
and throw out from our blood every
poison, impurity and disease germ as
the blood passes through them.
They are not simply filters. They

The Mistake of a Recruit Whose ImaRinA
tion Was stimulated.


The Mistake of Recruit Whose ImaRinA-
tion Was Stimulated.
At the beginning of the war there
were a lot of raw soldiers, who,
though ardent fellows and good fight
ers, were not up to the West Point
standard ON military matters. At War
renton, Va, one of the new companies
happened to be stationed early in the
conflict, Nld many were the lessons that
had to be learned by the earnest but
ignorant southerners, who had but a
slight idea of the rigid rules Of warlike
discipline. But on the whole they did
well.
1t was one balmy September evening
just that time of the year when the cool
breeze is laden with the rich odors Of
the dying leaves and full of an exhila-
rating orispiness that seems to fill one 3
blood with dreams of love and happi-
ness. The moon was just peeping from
behind bank of clouds resting on the
crests of the Blue Ridge, and the line
of light crept down the sides and crawl
ed across the fields of waving corn and
the meadows full of chirping insects.
About i'll the field were scattered the
white tents of the Confederates, and be-
meath them the tired men were deep in
slumber.
One Of the most ignorant men had
been put out as a picket, and for hours
he trod his beat, watching with eager
eye the lights from the distant farm
houses, lest some fire of an enemy s
camp break out into the gloom. The air
was warm and fragrant, and the SOL
der s mind was full of the romance of
the situation.
Presently the moon sank behind the
dark pillows of the cloud bank and the
world was wrapped in silence and dark
ness. But in each bush there sparkled
glowworm, and about in the air cir
culated some of the bright insects known
as lightning bugs" whose tiny tails
are seemingly pointed with fire.
Now the sentry suddenly became
alarmed and gave the signal. and the
camp was soon in turmoil. The men,
hastily awakened from their sleep, be-
gan to saddle up, and were full of de-
light at the thought of meeting the enc
my, whose campfires, SO the sentinel
said, had just cleaned out from dis
tant hill.
The men were ranged up to begin
their march, the colonel exhorted them
that this was the time to win their
spurs, and all was excitement, when
the sentinel crept up to the colonel.
Colonel" said the fellow III dis
comfted voice. II am mighty sorry,
but have made IA mistake-there is nc
campfire of the enemy-its lightning
bug-you see. l am bit noarsighted. "
And the man crept back to hide under
the flap Of his desolate tent, while the
disgruntled men took themselves again
to slumber -Philadelphia Times.

And the pale anemones.

And the same old songs the blackbirds sing

And the fragrant hawthorn scents the air,
And the gorse is of Furnished gold,
And the wind has come DER the southern seas
From shores where the ncreids play,
And as of old do the brigand bees
On their clover blossoms stray.

Where the hills and the sunset meet,
And the hymn of the throstle by its nest

And wait and watch, rs in days of yore.
