Taking Out the Embassadress.

Mr.. W. E. Curtis, the author OF
an entertaining work of eastern
travel, relates an instance of his So
journ in China which represents the
great Ii Hung Chang in an attitude
of characteristic ignorance of occi.
dental customs. The French embas-
, sador at Picking gave a dinner par.
ty and invited Ii Hung Chang. Pre-
vious to sitting down to dinner the
party, which included the wives OF
the European guests, were convers-
ing in an apartment which adjoined
the dining room.
Presently the butler threw back
the portieres and announced the din
ner. The French ambassador STEP
ped up to the great Chinese states
man and said:
"Will your excellency take my
wife out to dinner?"
Ii interpreted the request literal
~. The French embassadress was a
tiny woman, and Ii Hung Chang is
six feet three. He picked the little
woman up under one. arm, and, to
the amazement of the company as
well as the distress of the victim,
carried her bodily out to the dining
table.

LOndOn's Poor.

An Englishman now in Washing
ton says: 1.-THE poor man in this
country seems to be more self re-
speeding than the chronic pauper
that has made the name Of White
chapel notorious all over the world.
The latter is in such abject poverty
that he has lost all hope of ever bet
tering his condition. How the mis-
cradle wretches live is a mystery.
And when it comes to the women,
this nation has an immense advan-
tage. Your women, unless of the
fallen order, do not frequent public
drinking houses. 1t is the greatest
disgrace of London that tho women
of the poorer class are as good Gus
toners of the liquor shops as the
men, and, worse still, the poison is
handed them across the bar by one
of their own sex. In east London
children of tender years accompany
their mothers into such places"

A Dron Pera Beggar.

Several beggars in Pera own a
large amount of property. One well
known man has houses worth 10, 900
lire, and yet is to be seen begging
in filthy rags. A poor governess,
who was very charitable, used to
give him a plaster twice a week.
One day she missed a Ira (pound)
and thought she must have given it
to the beggar by mistake. He had
gone home for the day, so she fol-
lowed him to his house on the Tax
ime. He received her graciously,
looking like pasha at least in his
magnificent robes. II never like to
lose a good client" he said, and
sent for his bag of takings. eff
there's a Ira here, we shall find it. :"
Sure enough, the Ira was there.
'Take it." he continued, and the
poor girl, full of thanks, was hurry
ing away when the beggar stopped
her. "Wait a moment; you haven't
given me the plaster. San Fran

Flies.

The astonishing abundance of flies
during the latter part of the sum
mer is accounted for by the esti.
mate made by an eminent entomol-
oglst that the progeny of a single
house fly in the course of one sum
mer will number 1850, 500. If it
were not for the innumerable enc
mics provided by nature for the de-
struction of the fly, the whole air
would be filled by the end of Au-
gust with swarms of flies, which
would render life insupportable.

The principal meal of the busy,

Plant Owls.

Almost all plants sleep at night,
though in the plant world there are
owls and bats that exhibit most life
and animation after the sun goes
down. The Nicotina affinis, a varie-
ty of the tobacco plant, the night
blooming cereus and many others
are examples of night life in the
world.
