The Cucumber Sponge.

In the cucumber sponge tEuplec-
tClla cucumber) we have specimen Of
one which lies upon the mud after the
manner of its namesake, which it some
what resembles. Perhaps, however, the
most beautiful of all these silicious
sponges is Euplectclla aspergillum, or,
as it is commonly called, Venus flow
er basket. 1t is like a beautiful horn
Of CLASSY fibers or a graceful bouquet
holder. The first specimen Of this sponge
in England came into the possession Of
the late Professor Owen in 1871. 1t was
held by him as great treasure. 1t was
soon followed by few more specimens,
which were sold in the market at about
e6 apiece, but now that they have been
found to be SO plentiful they may be
bought for as many shillings. These
sponges were found by the Challenger
expedition TO LIE growing in vast abund-
ance in certain spots in the deep waters
among the Philippine islands and also
off the coast of Brazil. They live
buried in mud which is SO soft and loose
as not to crush them or in any way TO
impede the assumption Of their elegant
form, and they are supported i'll their
position and prevented from sinking by
a fringe of CLASSY spiculeS.
1.-THE tube Of this specimen from the
Philippines. after the death of the
sponge, is frequently inhabited by one,
sometimes by pair, of decapod crusta-
ceans. He reminds one forcibly Of the
hermit crab we have all seen living in
dead shells upon our own shores.
"These, says the same author, care so
often found together that only few years
ago paper was written to show that this
sponge was a wonderful habitation con-
structed by this crab. GOOD Words.

Speechless and Swollen.

A story at the expense of Sir William
Harcourt is worth repeating Before his
recent departure for the continent the
ax-chancellor Of the exchequer spent
some time at the seaside, and on one &C.
,asion visited man of-war lying on the
Hampshire coast
After dinner, the weather proving
rather rough, the captain, an unusually
small and dapper man, suggested that
Sir William should sleep on board, and
thoughtfully surrendered his own berth
for the night to his distinguished guest.
Next morning, at the early hour when
the captain usually rose, the latter's
sailor servant, who knew nothing of the
change of berths, brought cup Of coffee
to the cabin door and knocked once
or twice without receiving IN answer
Somewhat alarmed, the servant popped
in his head and asked;
Don't you want your coffee this
morning, sir?"
The only reply was in the nature Of a
growl, and the terrified sailor beheld a
gigantic figure turning over under the
bedclothes, Dropping the cup Of coffee,
the faithful servant rushed to the ships
surgeon, exclaiming:
"For goodness sake, sir, come TO the
captain at once. He's speechless, and
swollen TO ten times his natural size.

There Is great deal of literature, good,
Cad and indifferent, principally the latter,
In China. How much of the SO called his
tory is reliable we have no means Of tell
ing, but it is safe to assume that in this
respect our neighbors of the orient are
quite as accurate as the more self sufficient
people of the oooident.
From the days Of the great philosopher
Con Foo Chez till the present time there
is no character in Chinese history about
which we have more reliable data than
that of Woo Chi Tien.
II Chinaman in Europe or America
has dozen books in his library-and a
majority have many more, for Chinese
books are cheap, and, after their fashion,
the ChineGG are readers--the two thin pa
per volumes that tell of the life of the IA
nous empress are sure to be among the
number.
have recently completed, with the aid
OF my friend Wong Chin Foo, we'll known
in New York city, q translation of this
wonderful story, synopsis of which is
submitted. Ly Khan was one of the best
known kings of the great Ming dynasty.
He consolidated the empire from the bleak
hills of Manchuria on the north to the
tropic plains of Siam on the south
Ly Khan won by force of arms. He held
and consolidated by olemency that made
friends of his foes and an earnest industry
that made the arts of production more
honored than the destructive arts of war
Ly Khan made friends of the surrounding
nations and welcomed all foreigners who
had skill to take up their homes in Peking,
which, up to this time, had been q capital
unworthy Of the great Middle Flowery
Kingdom.
The sea along the coasts was white with
ships. The canals were alive with boats.
The roads teamed with richly laden buffa-
10 carts, whose happy driver sang through
the dust. The granaries were bursting
with food. The factories were musical with
the whir of wheel and the clang of spin
die. There were fat herds on the hills.

A LITTLE JACK SHEPPARD.
johnnie Timothy an Adept Jail Breaker
as Well as an Artful Thief.

Little 11-year-old Johnnie Timothy, who,
with his 13-year-old sister Mamie, is held
by the Jersey City police on several charges
of robbery and larceny, is rapidly acquir-
ing a reputation as a Jail breaker Mamie
and Johnnie are the prccocious and indus
trious young thieves who made q business
of enticing we'll dressed little girls into
Railways and stripping them of their coats
and hats. When victims Of this kind were
not available, they stole rugs and baby
carriages and bicycles from Railways and
cellars of flat houses and sold them to Sec
ondhard dealers. They pawned the wraps
and hG.s. They did thriving business for
about month before being captured and
made sufficient money to buy clothes and
shoes and all the candy and fruit they
could eat, besides paying their way into
some cheap show nearly every night
Johnnie was locked up in the Seventh
street police station, but did not stay
there long. He made his way through
window to the roof of the stable at
the side of the station dropped into a
yard at the rear of Roilly's flats in Sixth
street and got into the street through the
hallway of the fiat When he was recap
tured, it was thought advisable to send
him and his sister to the Oakland avenue
station.
The cells are located on the second floor.
Johnnie and Mamie were put in separate
compartments. There is window ut one

LY KHAN II BEsIEGEs PEKING.

Long before the period or mourning was
past Woo Chi Tien had entered on that
career of reckless extravaganza and I'M
bridled dissipation that makes her name
the most infamous in Chinese history.
When she was crowned, the treasury was
full, and there was plenty in all the land.
money was made to be spent and not to
be hoard9d, " was the chief motto of Woo
Chi Tien.
She banished the eunuchs and all the
old servants from the palace and filled
their places with handsome young men
and swarms of dusky dancing girls from
the south, To enlarge the palace parks
she tore down the silk factories and with
out compensation destroyed the homes of
the toilers. She built hanging gardens
where the markets had been, and she did
not hesitate to destroy temple where she
thought pleasure lake would be better.
Woo Chi Tien invited magicians and
actors and musicians from all the world.
To the capital flooked robbers and adven.
turers. The priests were banished or
made to hold their peace. The wheels and
spindles were heard no more in Peking
The buffalo carts rumbled no more
through the streets. The voice of trade
was silent, while the voice of pleasure rang
ever through the palace and parks.
Soon the treasure left by the emperor
was exhausted. On learning this Woo Chi
Tion sent for the great officers and asked
them:
"Where did this money come from?"
"From revenues and taxes on the peo-
ple," they replied.
"And the people remains"
"They do, o most beautiful ruler OF
the stars"
"Thon go out and tax them"
"But they are taxed now"
TAX them still more"
"They will complain"
Destroy the first that complains and the
Others will take warning and seal their
lips, was tho command of Woo Chi Tien.
And so the taxes were made heavier, and
when the poor people complained they
were charged with treason against the
empress and executed. The fear of death
did close the lips of the people, but this
but added to the hate In their hearts. Out
side the gay palace there was no joy. The
workers toiled with bowed heads and
thought of the happy days when kind
hand guided affairs.
Woo Chi Tien learned of the discomfort
and ordered all the schools to be closed.
" Learning teaches men to think, and
leads to doubt, and doubt to
misery. The gods meant the poor to toll
for their masters " This she said and oil
the schools were at once closed
