Tho Earliest journal

Inc Oldest newspaper in the world
Is not, as Is generally stated, the thou
sand-year-old Kin Pan, of Pekin. but
the Tsing-Pao, or Pekin News, which
was first published more than 500
years before the Norman conquest, and
which has been published without in.
termission for nearly 1,4OO years.
The Using Pao has the appearance
OF yellow-backed magazine of twen
ty-four octave pages, each page con
sisting of seven columns, and each
column consisting of seven "charac.
ters." Two editions are published-an
edition de luxe for the Court and the
upper classes in China, at a cost of
"A cents per month; and an edition.
inferior In paper and printing, which
costs 16 cents a month.
The TsingPao is the Times of China
and chronicles the wealth and move
ments of the Emperor, the life at
Court, and the reports of Ministers.
1t is painfully significant that every
error in printing the latter is punished
with death.

A colonial gentlSma who now sits
on the Wadsworth ind Clapham board
of guardians amused his colleagues at
their weekly meeting by stating, dur
ing a discussion upon the best manner
of dealing with lGcal inebriates, that
they had an excellent way of checking
excessive drinking in Manitoba. When
a man has been twice or thrice con-
victed of drunkenness in the police
courts he was sentenced to wear a
brass collar, which marked him out
among his fellows as person to whom
no publican could with impunity serv g
liquor. The drastic measure often

Herr Appunn OF Hanau has invented
bell Of new shape, which is said to
have very deep tone and to be as
powerful as considerably heavier bells
OF the form at present in vogue. The
shape is peculiar, being hemispherical,
while the metal is uniform in thick
ness except near the ''sound bow Tor
the thickened tip which the clapper
strikes). From the edge to some little
distance above the sound bow the
metal is very thick, and then alters
suddenly to the uniform thickness
which it has for the rest of the bell.

CANINE LANGUAGE.
THREE STORIES THAT SHOW DOGS
CAN TALK.

Case of Satisfying n Dogs Sense of Hon
or--New Zealand Greyhonnds at Their
and Its Work.
We were speaking Of the power pos
sessed by some animals of communi-
eating their ideas one to another, and
my friend kindly furnished me with
two or three stories to illustrate the
point. He said: James Cumming was
fishing a stream near Coupar, and was
much annoyed by a small terrier which
followed him along the path, barking.
till he turned and 'flicked" the dog
over the nose with his fishing rod,
when the dog at once ran off. My friend
went on with his fishing, and forgot the
incident tillhe noticed the small dog re-
turning, trotting by the side of large
retriever, who without any growing or
preliminaries, quietly bit Cummings
heel, and in the same quiet and digni-
fed manner at once retired, honor
having been satisfied.
In the district of Rangitikei, New
Zealand, where / lived for some years,
hares were very plentiful, and coursing
was sport indulged in by everybody,
the result being that greyhounds
swarmed in the townships and while
their owners were busy, they were in
clined to suffer from ennui, and thus
it happened that some fifteen or twenty
hounds would often trot out of the
village, quite unattended, about a
quarter of mile, to a paddock oppo-
site my house, and there they would
mass up in one corner close to the gate.
Presently one of the number would
dash out from the mob towards the
middle of the field and when it had
got some fifty or seventy yards start,
would begin to double and twist ex-
actly as a hare would do when hard
pressed. The pack would at once COM
mence the chase, while the hare" dog
lodged and turned at full speed, till at
last he was "collared" and pulled
down, when the painting pack would re-
turn to the rendezvous at the gate, and
after a brief blow" another dog would
break away and assume the role of
hare" This sport have seen carried
on for nearly an hour at a-stretch,
perfectly spontaneous on the part OF
the dogs.
Another curious story was told me
by DR.. Frank Wallace Mckenzie of
Wellington, N. H., whose father owned
a run in Otago, which was much over
run by rabbits. In order to keep the
rabbits in check, if possible, a monde
script pack of dogs was kept at the
station to hunt rabbits for their living.
The pack was composed of half-breed
greyhounds and collies chiefly, and
they were in the habit of going out
every morning quite by themselves and
hunting all day. returning in the even
ing to the station. A very small Scotch
terrier always accomDanied these eX-

New words for Our vocabulary.

One minor result of the Cuban in
surrection and our war with Spain is
the accretion of several new words to
our vocabulary. ''Incommunicado" is
already acclimated and is frequently
used in the newspapers in accounts Of
arrests for crime. "Reconcentrado" is
a term of more special meaning that
can scarcely be introduced into our
daily speech in an extended signifi-
canoe. 1t has almost the inflexibility
of a proper noun substantive. Dupuy
de Lome's use of the term ''politicas-
tro" in his notorious letter has recalled
the fact that in the English language
there is already similar word, 'politi-
caster" which Milton found service
able to describe petty politician, just
as we use "poetaster" to describe an
inferior versifier Doubtless when our
army comes back from Cuba they will
bring with them many words which
will gradually be adopted into our
vocabulary.

Brigandage still flourishes in Italy.
AS Signor Romanin- -Iacur. well
known Deputy, and dozen other men
were going toward Grossetto the other
day for the purpose of inspecting a
newly constructed aqueduct they sud-
denly met a man, dressed like a hunts
man, who levelled his rifle at them
and ordered them to halt. They obeyed,
whereupon the brigand commanded
them to empty their pockets. Strange
to say not one of them made the least
resistance, and as result the brigand
obtained few thousand francs, Dep

tribution being five bank notes of 1907.
each. Having secured this booty the
fearless robber disappeared, and no
trace of him has since been found. On
the following day wealthy landed
proprietor was stabbed and robbed by
brigand within few miles of Rome,
but fortunately the police were near at
hand, and they arrested the miscreant
before he could escape. AS his victim
is said to be mortally wounded, the
chances are that the criminals career
is practically ended.

The HOecake is Fast Disappearing
From Southern Tables.


From Southern Tables.
| Most middl6-aged persons remember
well when corn bread was served upon
nearly all tables in the south and west
at least twice a day. Sometimes it ap-
peared in the form of "hoecake" or
'batter bread" and again in "pones."
It was par excellence the bread of the
negro, and every man who served in
the. Confederate army was also a full
graduate in the use of it. Now the
darkies eschew it where wheat bread is
to be obtained, and upon the tables Of
thousands of southern and western
whites it never appears at all, while
others continue to use it only for din
ner.
Now, why is this? Surely corn meal
is as it ever was. Those who sincerely,
but probably mistakenly, believe that
underground" meal is better than the
product of mills turned by steam can
always find supply of that in most
cities, and it is common enough in the
country. There is no trouble about the
meal; but we doubt whether the art of
cooking it has been preserved. The
high-toned colored damsels who are
turned out by our public schools are
not the adopts that our old Aunt Di-
nahs and Aunt Peggys were. No self
respecting pan of dough would be con-
jured into shape by such unskilled
hands. And then we may seriously
doubt whether corn bread can be cook
ed in a stove as we'll as in an open fire.
place.
The Indians laid their doughcakes
between layers of forest leaves or upon
the hard ground, and cooked them in
the hot ashes. Hence lash cake" very
luscious product, indeed, when one has
whetted his appetite for it by a long
days hunting. The hoecake was so
called because it was originally baked
upon hoe-that ever-ready and useful
instrument of agriculture which is to
be found upon every plantation. But
later on cooking utensils were manu-
factured which took the place of the
humble hoe. So, too, shingles were
used whereupon to place the dough
while it went through the process of
becoming a well-done ash cake.
