CHINESE ENJOY BEHEADING.
The Execution of Rebels Is Made q
Festive Affair for Women
and Children.

According to late Vancouver (B. c.
mail advices from China eight sub
ordinate leaders of the Kwangski re
bellion have been beheaded at WI
Chow. They were carried in baskets
through the principal streets as a
warning spectacle amid the laughter
and jeers of men, women and children.
Ten thousand people witnessed the
decapitation and made it gala day.
Little children copied their parentc
Who joked at the dying rebels a second
before the ax fell. When all was over
the children played among the head
less, bleeding corpses and made sport
with the black, disfgured heads.
Mandarins and headmen improvised
a sort of May pole and the heads of the
rebels were placed or top in tiers, the
children dancing around them The
governor advised the mandarins to
make the Deheading as festive as pos
sible, so as to inspire disgust for the
rebels in the hearts of the people. A
banquet was afterward spread.
The Japan Mail says petition has
been sent to the government by for
eign consuls requesting that behead
ing be discontinued.

Harold James, farm laborer at Oak
Tree, n. j., is reported by the New
York Herald to have found a chest of
Spanish doubloons in a hole in the
woods near his home the other week.
He was hunting squirrels, and. follow
ing one some distance into the woods.

The squirrel disappeared in hole at
the foot of an old oak tree, and James,
in his search for it, found the chest

crumbled at the touch. and disclosed a
number of gold coins. James got a
spade and dug around the chest. He
found it was about six feet long, and
contained, besides money, the skeleton
of a human being, which crumbled on
being moved.
He concealed his discovery until he
examined the place thoroughly. Then
he got a sack and began carrying the
money home.

his friends, and rumUr says that he
found anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000
He exchanged some in New York for

good luck. He is industrious and of
a quiet disposition, and it was some

TO anyone. James has sailed for Eu-
rope. but he says he is coming back to

WOMEN MAIL CARRIERS.
They Do Not Use the Regulation stage
and the Picturesque Four
INLAND.

There are two women mail carriers
in southern Berkshire who are doing
satisfactory work and appear to enjoy
the business, reports the Springfield
Republican. Miss Louise Marcome
drives the stage between Curtisville
and Stocllbridge, making two trips
day, a distance of some four miles. AS
there is no railroad station at Curtis
Vile she does quite an express business,
and has number of passengers. Miss
Marcome is about % years old and
has been driving some four years. She
is noted for her prOmptness in making
the trips and her close attention to
business. The other woman stage
driver has been on the road for about
six months. She is Miss Olive Cakes,
of Egremont, who carries the mail
from North Egremont to Great Bar
rington. She is 81, and was learning
the dressmalling business when her
father, who has the contract for the
stage line, was taken sick and Miss
Cakes took his place temporarily. He
grew worse and died two months ago.
She has continued to drive the stage.
This is hard trip for a woman the
distance being some six miles, and she
makes two trips day. and, as she lives
midway between the two post offices.
this gives her considerable extra travel
These women do not use the regua-
ton stage that is seen in pictures, but
light wagons. Their principal cargo
is the mail and light express packages.
The passengers do not number over
one or two on trip except on special
occasions.

ROYAL ALIASES.
Names Under Which Kings and
Queens Travel When
'.Incognito."

Strange as it may seem, even kings
and queens sometimes get tired of their
titles and try to escape observation by
using what in the case of more ordinary
persons would be called an alias. OF
course, it is difficult, if not impossible,
for free and independent citizen who
lives perpetually in hail of the scream
ing and defiant eagle, to imagine how
anyone could become tired of being
"ryle" parsonage. But so it is, and
this article is written for the informa-
ton of anyone who may meet the royal
persons when they are travelling in
cognito. Queen Victoria, as every body
knows or should know, travels under
the name of countess of Balmoral;
Queen Amalie of Portugal uses the title
of marquise of Villacosa. Ex-Queen
Isabella of Spain was the countess of
Toledo when she travelled, and under
the name of countess of Lingen you
may find Empress Friedrich.
If you should meet u gentleman who
calls himself the count of Ravenstein,
call him your majesty" for he is that
dear, wicked old boy, king of Belgium
The king of Portugal travels as Count
Barcellos. The prince of Wales calls
himself Lord Chester and the monarch
of Bulgaria hides behind the title of
Count Murany. The crown prince of
Sweden is known among strangers as
the count of karlsberg, and Prince Vic
tor Napoleon used the title of Count
MOncaliari

ness of women is traceable directly or
indirectly + some arrangement OF

MOUSE NEST IN HER COLLAR.
An Elderly Lady Passenger causes
Excitement in Chicago
Street Car.

One mouse is generally enough to
stampede al assemblage of women,
and the commotion attendant upon
the appearance of two or three TO-
dents is, of course, increased III pro-
portion, saws the Chicago Chronicle.
Il does not matter that the mice may
be young, as was shown IN street
car during one of the recent cool att
ernoons. One of the passengers was
an elderly woman who wore an old
fashioned fur cape with an immense
bearskin collar Evidently the cape
had Just been taken from chest con-
tanning moth balls, for the odor OF
these preventives was powerful. The
car was crowded, principally by wom-
en-, so the elderly passenger was com
pelled to stand, and as the car Jolted
or swung around a corner she swayed
hanging to the strap, sprinkling the
gIistening particles of insect destroyer
on all who were near. At length the
car gave a particularly bad lurch and
something fell from the cape into the
lap of a lady near by. This something
proved upon close inspection to be
a tiny mouse. Following closely came
several more, distributed with re-
markable fairness on the nearby pas
sengers. 1t didn't take over half
minute for every woman in that car
to grab her skirts and get on he
seats, the overflow taking refuge on
the platforms. Their screams attract
ed the conductor, who came IN and
threw the little mice out on the street.
Meanwhile the innocent cause of all
this trouble calmly unfastened her
cape and shook out the remains Of
a nest, which had been snugly built
by some motherly mouse in the long
fur. The owner Of the cape then seat
ed herself as calmly as you please and
,the other women finally subsidized.
