Randall has been most successful. He
brought zeal, true religious feeling and

NO fewer than $4,000 Lancastrians and

were afterward buried at the neighbor-

Official Promotions Go Hand In Hand
With Enormous Brides.
Prior to each promotion the official
has to be received in audience by the
emperor But this is very costly af-
fair, for no ones presence in the cap
ital city is recognized until he has
bribed the gatekeeper to register his
name as having passed into the city
and duly report his advent That Lii
Hung Chang had to pay an enormous
sum in tips and bribes-over 81 600, 900
ON his last visit to Peking is a
matter of common knowledge, but the
narration of two instances that have
come directly under my notice may per-
haps serve to make the English reader
realize even more wildly how inexora-
BILE and how shamelessly open is the
systematic corruption.
The governor of Kiang-su province,
who was an intimate friend of Prince
Kung, thought to take advantage Of his
great influence by coming into the city
without bribing the gatekeeper. When
he called upon his royal friend Prince
Kung exclaimed: "When did you come?
cannot possibly recognize your pres
ence, for have not seen your name in
the chung report" and he
had to return and pay double the usual
bride to the gatekeeper before Prince
Kung would receive him. Even more
remarkable is the case Of Tso-Tchung
Tong, one Of the greatest of our gener-
ais, who, having suppressed the Moham-
medan rebellion in Turkestan, had &C
CURED for the Celestial empire territory
about half as large as China itself The
emperor, who held him in high esteem,
wished to see him and sent a special
summons calling him to an audience at
Peking.
When on his coming to the city the
chung wen-men, Or gatekeeper, de-
manded $1,000 tael, he refused to pay
anything. But even he was not officially
reported, and after he had remained
several months in Pekin, waiting for an
audience, the emperor issued another
edict, asking why he had never come
Tso-Tchung- Tong responded by telling
the whole story, adding that, having
spent all his own and his family s mon
ey on the support of soldiers during the
war, he had no means with which to
pay such bride. He appealed to the
emperor graciously to relieve him of the
imposition. In reply the emperor said:
"This 1.-THE feeling of the gatekeeper) is
a general and ancient usage, and the
viceroy and generalissimo must submit
to it like another" And as Tso- Tchung-
Tong really had not the money, his
friends raised a subscription, the dow
ager empress herself contributing half
the required sum. -Fortnightly Review

A REGULATING GOOSE.
Carried Off Gold Watch, and Got a
Servant in Trouble.

It is doubtful is another dumb animal
ever caused greater mischief than
goose did recently in Lanesboro, N. Y.
That goose stole a dozen valuable arti-
cles and brought about the discharge
of a servant For a long time the fam
lily of Mr.. Albert jerks has been miss

appearance to Miss Annie Coogan,
domestic. The girl was threatened with

she protested her innocence she was

Diary. A pet goose had a trick of knock
ing at the door in quest Of dainties, and
on being admitted would go all about
the house. One afternoon recently Mrs.
jerks was amazed to see the goose take
a gold watch and chain in it's mouth
and go outdoors. She followed and saw
it hide the timepiece in it's nest. Thus
the mystery Of the missing articles was
explained. Among the dozen articles
found in the nest were two gold thin

LIFE IN THE POLAR SEAS.
Plenty of Fears, Birds and Narwhals.
Millions of Fiddlers and FIeas.

Plenty of Years, Birds and Narwhals.
Millions of Fiddlers and Fleas.
It is evident, according to Nansen,
that the waters Of the polar seas are far
from being deserted by living creatures
Wherever the sea is open or partially SO
seals, narwhals and birds abound, and
on the heaps Of ice near the edge Of the
water the bears are numerous. Under
the ice marine animals are not wanting.
The explorers found in abundance little
crustaceans, whose discovery was the
result of an accident.
One day the cook sunk a piece OF
meat in hole which he had cut in the
ice with view of thawing it out. That
is a method often resortcd to for the
purpose of sparing the fuel Forty eight
hours afterward, while taking out the
meat, the cook was astonished to find
an immense number of little animals
that dropped upon the surface Of the ice
and commenced to jump about like
feas. Nansen, who is professor of
zoology, had no trouble in recognizing
those little crustaceans, which may be
seen jumping in the sand, and which
are called sand feas. He was delighted
at the discovery, because the creatures
are good to eat, although they contain
but little nourishment.
A few months later on, when in rs
or 80 degrees north latitude, in Octo-
ber-that is to say, at the beginning of
the long winter night-he fished up in
little net with close meshes a quantity
Of little crustaceans. This proves that
life is by no means suspended under the
ice; on the contrary, it is very active.
In the mud Of the bottom, where the
water is shallow, there are numerous
starfsh, mollusks, worms. sponges and
several species of crustacea. journal

THE IDLER.
1T Is in Towns and Willie ges that They
Are the Most Dan gerous.


Are the Most Dan gerous.
The old proverb about idle hands
is Illustrated daily in these modern
times in almost every place, large or
small, just as it no doubt has been daily
Illustrated for several thousands of
years-and yet we stupidity fail to mas
ter the lesson which it,conveys. A GER
tain little town in New England has re-
Gently learned it in blood and tears.
One of it's lovehest women has been
murdered by an idler, who, with half
dozen of his mates, lounged habitually
around the village corners. drinking
liquor when they could get it, ogling
the passers-by and making coarse re-
marks about them, disturbing the
peace of the quiet community by night,
and occasionally committing more or
less offensive misdemeanors. At last
these have eliminated in a crime SO
revolving that everyone who hears of
1t is chilled to the heart with horror.
In our large cities the idlers abound
but the police usually keep them in de-
cent order and compel them to remain
In certain quarters. 1t is in our towns
and villages that they are most high
handed and most dangerous. What

munity. They do no good, surely.
though some philosophic mind has
evolved the theory that they are Great
ed for the purpose Of furnishing awful
examples.
1t is hardly worth while to preserve
our knots of idlers in order to secure
this doubtful benefit. Let us get rid
of them. If admonition and the settled
determination of the decent part Of the
community cannot do 1t, let the law be
invoked, as it may be in most of our
States. Above all, let every boy be in
structed, at home and at school, that an
idler is but single degree above a
criminal Let him shun fdleness as a
plague. If he cannot at once get work,
let him keep away from the resorts of
idlers until, by incessant effort, he Sc
cures work. Show him that the men
who habitually hang around the streets
have no social position-that they are
the scum Of the place. Our teachers
have false idea regarding the ethical
knowledge to be conveyed in the pub
lie schools. They may not teach any
definite religious creed, and, therefore,
they imagine that they may not teach
morals. They should understand that
morals is the chief thing which they
are in their places to teach, and that
they should seize every peg which any
recitation affords ON which to hang a
little moral lesson. One of the great
est lessons of all is that of daily indus
try.
These little groups of idlers are
breeding places for evil thoughts, evil
words, evil deeds. Profanity and vice
flourish there They should be broken

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incuroble. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by It. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,

SKULL. though the puySl-
clans warned the family that death
was likely to result. Emily~lives with
her father and mother and brothers at
Al Castleberry street, Atlanta, Ga.
The child is large for her age-she's
as tall as her mother and has the face
of girl of Is. She was an unusual
child quiet and sober, with an express
sion beyond her years. She learned to
talk slowly, but to walk quickly. She
stammered awkwardly in her speech
and mixed her words. She had bright,
sweet face and an extremely affection
ate and clinging nature,
Little Emily grew ON for several
years before they knew how strangely
evil she had been treated by nature.
They sent her to school. The teacher
struggled for weeks to teach her and
then-she made an awful discovery.
The child could not be taught. She
could not learn figures. She could not
add 1 and 1 together. She read, but
merely by rote; she did not understand
1t was hopeless task. The baby mind
of. the girl could not be taught. The
teacher told her mother.
In the past several years many ply
sicians have been appealed to to help
the little girl. All have given up the
case without even locating the trouble.
Little Emily grew on, but her brain,
prisoned fast beneath the hard skull,
remained the same. 1t grew no larger
could be no larger pressed in mar
row space as it was by curious and
unusual malformation of the head.
The little girl, it was plain to the
surgeons trained mind, was suffering
from the confinement of her brain in a
too narrow space. There was but one
thing to be done to save her. That was
to lift the skull from the brain and give
the little ones mind room to grow.
Mesa free press. [volume] (Mesa, Ariz.) 1892-1901, 1897-09-24

any danger or peril to save the little
girl.
The doctor told them what a fearful
risk it would be. The child might die
under the operation. The operation
might possibly be Of no benefit to her
and on the other hand the chances
were greatly in favor Of her brain
growing to it's normal size. The skull
lifted, the imprisoned brain might grow
and expand until 1t reached the size
that an adults brain should be.
After the Woodruffs had thoroughly
considered the matter, they decided to
take the chances and have the opera
ton performed. A day was appointed
and little Emily was carried down to
st. Joseph's infirmary by her father.
They cut off the locks, shaved her head
closely and then put her under the in
fiuence of chloroform. 1t was a deli
cate operation which the doctors then
performed At the temple they cut
into the skull and on either side they
cut out of the skull a round piece about
the size of a nickel. Beginning at these
openings at the temple they cut the
skull open, running back to a point at
the very top of the head. The cut was
eleven inches long and formed per-
feet V, with the sharp points at the
crown of the head and the other points
at the two temples. The skull was
lifted slightly and after all the neces
sary surgical work the wound was
bandaged up. The little girl was left
in her bed and the next morning when
the physicians called was playing with
her doll, all unconscious of the fearful
opening in her head.
After ten days at the inf1mary she
was sufficiently recovered to be taken
home. She showed no signs of the ter
rible ordeal except an increased ner-
yousness. Her parents declare she is
improving every day and they have
great hopes of her mind growing into
normal proportions. The doctors say
that improvement must be slow, that
growth will be a gradual process, and
It will be six months at least before
any perceptible change for the better
can be noted. Atlanta physicians have
been reused into deep interest over the
case. and the scientific world waits
with anxious scientific interest.
