The Dingley law is creating conster-
nation among our Englieb friends who
we're 30 delighted with the operations of
the Wilson act. The report of the Brad
lord, England, chamber of commerce
'hows that the exports from Bradford to
the United States in five mopih BIS under
he Dipgley law amounted to only $780,
27S, as against e1 ,66S 90S in the corre-
spending months of 1895. A writer in
he Pail Mall Gazstte, calling attention
20 this fact, ard noting the ups and
towns of Epglish sales to the United
States under various tariff laws, ssys:
"For the last five months of 1889 (under
the tariff of 1889 the exports were worth
Ell 34l O56; the Mckinley tariff managed
% get this fSure down to e752 .010 in
1891; under the genial fla.i' of the
wilson law the 1895 figures ran up to
e1 .66S 90S; under the Dingley law the
five months total reached only e156. 27e.
Cruly Bradford has cause for consterns-
ion." Commenting still further upon
this fact, the Gazette points out that
treat Britain's free trade generosity to
the world has not. apparently, been ap-
orecfated.

Some Life statistics In England.

If we divide the number of adult
males in England and Wales into two
classes, namely, those who follow
some occupation and those who are
unoccupied-we find that the former
class amounts to roughly S,500,ee0, and
the latter to somewhat over 100000.
At all periods of life the occupied
classes have a smaller death rate than
the unoccupied. Amongst the various
occupations, the clergy come off best
with the smallest death rate, lawyers
die off much more rapidly, and, strange
to say, medical men, who so often save
the lives of others, have higher death
rate than either the two preceding
classes. Of railway servants there are
fewer deaths among the drivers and
stokers up to their fifty-fifth year than
there are amongst the guards, porters
and pointsmen; but with those who
live beyond their fifty-fifth year the
conditions are reversed. A fact which
speaks well for the temperance Of rail-
way officials is that the deaths among
the drivers and stokers arising from
alcoholism is the same as among the
clergy, and this is considerably less
than half the standard for the occu.
pied portion of the male population
Agriculturists, including farmers and
laborers, have good lives, in spite OF
wet and cold. Why butchers as a class
have such a high death rate is not
quite understood, but the fact remains
that in taking an equal number Of
butchers and clergymen, the deaths Of
the former are twice as many as the
deaths of the latter class

A honeymoon on a tree-top! This
is the strange freak of a bridal cou-
pie in California. In that state the IA
nous redwood tree grows to a height
of 200 feet. 1t is bare of branches for
more than half its height. The top,
however, is crowned by beautiful fol-
liage, and on the highest branch OF
one of these forest monarchs a roman
tic couple are spending their honey
moon. The only means of reaching
1.-The Cuckoo's Nest" as they call their
retreat, is by a rope ladder, which is
drawn UP when they are at home, so
that no prying visitor can disturb their
sweet solitude. Our home is dream"
says the romantic bride. What could
be more peaceful and romantic than
to recline high above earth on thin
couch, piled high with innumerable
cushions filled with all sorts of frag-
rant herbs, pine needles, balsam and
new-mown hay? We have plenty OF
reading matter, and hour after hour
is spent in that most delightful spot.
Our moonlight nights are grand, and
campers come from all parts of the val
ley to catch glimpse of the pictur-
esque canon from our home. Our
housekeeping. is done on very small
scale, and doubtless a good old house
keeper would look with. horror upon
our primitive stove, table and dishes,
and wonder how We could possibly
keep them clean; while the schoolgirls
greet all this with, Isn't this an ideal
life?'"

A CHINESE WEDDING.
Everything Connected with the Cere

meuies Is Decked In Red.
The Chinese place significance up
on every color, and in connection with
a wedding red obtains deep-rooted,
mysterious Importance, the next bridal
color in value being gold At a be-
trothal the bridegroom-elects sends his
sweetheart a pair of bracelets fastened
together with a piece of red ribbon or
cord. The bride and bridegroom drain
two wine cups at the wedding, which
are also connected by red cord. In
northern China the attendants wear a
tall felt hat, and each hat has a red
feather stuck upright in it. The at
tendants also carry the wedding pres
ents. A sedan chair bears the bride
herself. In south China sedan most
wonderfully gilded is used by the
wealthy classes, and it is decorated
with what appears at first sight to be
brilliant inlaid stones, but which are
in reality the glossy feathers Of the
king-fisher. A handsome cloth of
glowing red with trimmed border is
also thrown over the chair. In the case
of the poorer classes red is also the
prevailing bridal color, and chair OF
ordinary carved wood, painted bright
red, is used. Above the door of the
chair a kind of charm is placarded
or hung upon a red cloth. The chail
itself is sent by the bridegroom, &C
companied by what corresponds to oul
| best man. This functionary brings
with him a letter written in yellow OF
gold upon red paper, praying the lady
to enter and take her place. Mel

PREMATURE BURIAL.
Many Distinguished People Have Been
Afraid of 1t.


Afraid of 1t.
Wilkie Collins left a missive among
his papers, says a writer in Chambers
Journal, directing that when he died a
thorough examination of his body was
to be made by skilled surgeon. Lady
Burton, wife of Capt. Sir Richard Bur-
ton, ordered that her body should be
pierced with a needle in the region of
the heart. Mr.. Edmund Yates, of the
World; Miss Ada Cavendish, Miss Har-
riet Martineau, the authoress, and
Hans Andersen, the writer of so many
fairy tales, may be mentioned as men
and women who have left instructions
everything possible had been done
to make sure that they were lifeless.
In some cases it was the severance OF
vein, in others even decapitation that
was resolved upon. Others, with q
similar end in view, have adopted diff
ferent means. The signalling inven
ton of Edgar Allan Poe, who wrote
this subject up in his characteristical-
ly weird fashion, is familiar to all read
ers. Then, there is the apparatus of a
Russian inventor, which consists of q
mechanism placed in the throat of the
corpse. If consciousness returned anc
an effort were made to breathe, the
effort set in motion certain wires, which
resulted in bell ringing in the Gem
etery keepers lodge. In "JezebePs
Daughter" the idea is very similar save
that, instead of a throat apparatus
| wires were fastened to the hands Of
the corpse. Last year Sir Henry Lit
| tlejohn told his students at Edinburgh
| Of fancy coffin, fitted with paten
springs so constructed that on thu
| slightest indication of returning life
they would Immediately open the cof
fin and thus save the victim. Thi'
may have a reference to the Russian
invention, seeing that the idea is tn,
same, though there is slight differ
ence in detail.

Kun, walled city of Persia, ranks
second to Meshed in sanctity on ac-
count of the famous shrine of Masuma
Fatima, sister of the Imam Ria, a
famous saint of the Mohammedans.
While Lieut.. Rawlinson was on his
way to Teheran he heard much of this
sacred city and the glories of the
shrine, which, it was said, no European
had ever entered Death, so rumor
whispered, would be the portion of the
audacious issfidel who should be discov-
cred within it's precincts. To a young
and ardent spirit a dangerous adven-
ture is an irresistible attraction. Young
Rawlinson determined to visit the
shrine Disguised as a Persian pill
grim, thousands of whom annually
journey to the sacred city, he joined
the crowd of pilgrims His knowledge
of Persian and of the customs of the
country enabled him to pass undetected
through the temple gates, and to make
his way to the tomb of the saint. The
guardian gave him the customary form
of words and he repeated them. But
his curiosity almost caused his detec-
tion. Attracted by magnificent suits
of steel armor which hung on the walls,
he was gazing at them, when suddenly
he found that he had turned his back
upon the sacred shrine wherein the
saint was entombed. A thrill of alarm
startled him, but the discourtesy, i'm
possible to true believer" had not
been noticed. If it had been, there

subsequently became the decipherer OF
Assyrian and Babylonian inscriptions
and texts, and died the renowned ORR
entalist, Sir Henry Rawlinson.

Gold Seekers Find ''Siwash" CANNES tc
Be of Great Value.
If you are going to prospect in
Alaska and expect to travel much 2
pair Of good "Siwash" dogs are very
essential-almost indispensable. These
dogs greatly differ from our domesti-
Gated dogs, taking to the harness like
duck to water. They do not bark a
strangers. They are kind and affec
tionate, showing the wolf in them onl,
among their kind. 1t seems to b,
against their principles to get off the
trail to let another team pass. This
means fight, an exciting episode i
the teams number five or six dogs
each. In an instant the widest con-
fusion takes place. Dogs, harness and
each driver with a club in his hand
form one grand tumble, from which
order can only be restored by some OF
the dogs being knocked senseless. The
dogs are trained to "gee" and "haw
like an OK, and stop at the WORD
'whoa!" 'Mush" is the word used gen.
orally by the whites to indicate &c
ahead, perversion of the Indian word
Husch." The dogs prefer their mas
ter, but if loaned for use they wori
as faithfully as for their master.
