Hung Changes latest Escape.

A private despatch from Pekin to o
high Chinese ex-official states that as
Lii Hung Chang was ON the point OF
entering the precincts of the Grand
Audience Hall three minutes after
midnight, to have an interview with
the Emperor, and just as. he was
passing through the double line of I'm
perial Guards at the Palace gates, q
man dressed entirely in black, who it
appeared had been concealing him
self behind the Guards, suddenly
broke through the Zine and, getting
withing striking distance of the old
statesman, launched blow at his
head. Fortunately Ii Hung Chang
had noticed the commotion made by
the man breaking through the Guards
possibly he had been informed Of
the probability of such attacks and
therefore was on the qui vive--and
managed to partially evade the blow.
The assailant was cut down by q
Guardsman. North China Gazette.

Sierra Leone, Africa.

The settlement of Sierra Leone nj
one time consisted only of the penin-
sula terminating in Cape Sierra Leone,
with an area of about 300 square miles.
The colony, with its protectorate, now
includes large extent of country, es-
timated at 1000 square miles. The
capital, Freetown, possesses the best
harbor in West Africa. The scenery
Of Sierra Leone is said to be very SINH
lar to that of the West Indies. The
soil Is fertile and there Is an abund-
ance Of pure fresh water. Tropical
fruits grow luxuriantly. PineGpples
especially are produced very abund-
antly, while bananas, plantains, avoca.
do pears, mangoes, lines and oranges
are not only consumed locally, but are
also exported to Gambia Goree and
Senegal.

Banishing the Troublesome Fly.

In a recent treatise on injurious
insects the writer suggests simple
mode of clearing a room of flies. They
will naturally be found at the windows,
where they are attracted by the light.
The lower sash should be drawn down
to shut closely, the upper lowered
perhaps a foot from the top. Then
pull the shade down, and the flies,
following their natural instinct, crawl
up the glass to the top, and, finding
the opening, fly out and off. After
wards closed blinds or screens keep
them out. The book says further that
a house-hy does not bite, but merely
puts its proboscis on men and animals
to absorb the moisture of the skin.
Biting may not be the scientific word
for the fy's performance, but "absorb-
ing moisture" it may be said, does
not begin to describe suitably his nag
ging little way of summer morning
when ones final nap is dependent on
relief from him.

What the chestnut is to italy the
pecan is becoming to the United States.
Most of the nuts come from Texas,
where the pecan groves have already
brought wealth to their owners. AL
thoug gh the supply has increased with
great rapidity from year to year, it is
still behind the demand, which comes
not only from the United States and
Canada, but of late years from Eng
land and the Continent. The tree is
very handsome and prolific, and be.
gins to bear when quite young. Its
popularity is appreciated by the Texay
farmers, who are planting thousandS
of acres at the present time to increaal
the output in the immediate future.
Professor Kellogg declares the pecan
nut to be an ideal food, and Miss Cor.
nelia G. Bedford, the President of the
Teachers Association, recommends
it in many forms. In one of her lee.
lures upon the subject she employs il
in the making of ice-cream, in salads,
in the stuffing of birds, in cake-mak.
ing, in candy and other culinary
shapes. The latest use of the pecan
is grinding it into meal about as fine
as medium cornmeal. In this form il
can be made into simple biscuits, rolls
and bread just as is done with corn.

A fruit diet has often been known
to cure where every other remedy has
failed. Thousands Of cases which
have been given up as hopeless have
been cured through this means. To
fruit feeders such things as rheuma.
tism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, gravel,
etc., are seldom known. Dyspepsia,
nervous irritability, to say nothing of
numbers of other diseases, can, more
or less, be traced to wrong diet, and
are removable when a correct, frugiv-
orous one is adopted. If, therefore,
fruit diet has indeed nothing else to
recommend it, its curative powers
would be great enough to insist upon
its value.

A singular custom prevails among
the Tartars or Kurds. If man gets
into difficulties--i. e., loses his cattle
or other movable property-he pours
little brown sugar into piece OF
colored cloth, ties it up and carries
one such parcel to each of his friends
and acquaintances. In return he is
presented, according to circumstances,
with COW or sheep, or sum OF
money. He is thus at once set on his
legs again. The same method is
adopted when young man wishes tc
marry, but is not in position to sat
isfy the parents of his intended bride

Gold Fish.

In store where home aquarium sup
plies are sold there are, besides the
usual varied assortment of glass
globes, a number of larger tanks Of va
rious shapes and sizes, in which stock
Is kept for sale. The tanks themselves
are, of course, sold If there is a de-
mand for them.
Lying across the corner of the largest
Of these tanks Is little net, the hoop
no more than five or six inches in diam
eter, and the handle about a foot long.
This is to scoop up the gold fishes
when they are sold. When a new out
fit is sold complete the fishes are de-
llvered in the globe or tank. 1t often
happens, however, that the person al
ready owning a globe wants to replace
fish that have been lost, or to add to
where such things are sold and buys
one or more gold fishes, just as he
would buy any merchandise, except
that instead Of sitting down at coun-
ter to make his selections, he bends
over q tank and indicates among the
fishes swimming about the ones he
wants. AS he makes his selections the
dealer scoops them out with the little
net, and as likely as not the purchaser
carries the fish he has bought, single
fish or half dozen, or whatever the
number may be, right away with him

In all cases Of embroidery on linen
the work should be carefully pressed
when finished, and it is important for
every embroiderer to know how this
may be done in the simplest and safest
manner. The proper way to press the
finished work is to lay the embroidery
face down on clean cloth spread
over an ironing blanket or two or
three thicknesses of flannel. Place q
thin, dampened cloth on the back of
