SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS,

Countess OF Aberdeen,

interviewed the countess of Aber-

teal results likely to accrue from
the international council of women,
Lady Aberdeen, who is an enthusiastic
admirer of the American and Canadian
delegates, said:
Every one of them was skilled ev-
pert and most of them were trained
speakers, whom the congress was de-
lighted to hear, which cannot be said
IN regard to many of the other speak
ers. The Americans, as a rule. were
better informed, more decided in opin-
ION and further advanced on the lead
ing topics than any of the other dele
gates They fairly outstripped the Eng
llsh women, who, however, were better
informed than thecontinentald delegates
in general knowledge on the subjects
pertaining 10 women.
Mrs Sewall won the congress from
the first. Her extraordinary tact in
dealing with such large gathering was
remarkable.
Miss Susan B. Anthonys powerful
advocacy OF women's claims distino+I,,

It FIshes MhiIe You WHIT

A unique automatic fishing device
has been patented by George Cook (col-
ored), Of Louisville, Ky, which has at
traeted some attention The unique
feature Of his invention is that it can
be attached to pole as an ordinary
reel or it can be placed on a tripod on
the ground. An ordinary line can be
used, the mechanism wound up as a
clock, and the invention will catch the
fish without any further attention on
the part Of the angler When the fish
strikes the hook in the water the reel
will automatically catch it, pull ii in
to the shore and ring a bell to let the
angler know that the fish is caught.
The reel will play fish all day, keep a
tight line. and, just as soon as the fish
stops resistance, the reel will auto
matically land the prey.

THE CHINESE WALL.
Great work of Solid Masonry Tint
Would Reach from New York
to Las Vegas, \. NJ.

If Frank c. Lewis, of Chicago, is GO
ing to tear down the great wall of
China and use the material for paving
stone he has big contract on hand.
The main or outer wall was built 200
ears before Christ and runs from the
sea along the northern boundary of
China for distance of 800 miles. The
inner wall branches of from the outer
and forms the arc Of a circle 500 miles
in circumference. The outer wall is
built of huge pieces of uncut stone,
faced through the most of it's length

with huge bricks. 1t is from Is to 30
feet in height and from 10 to 2j feet in
width. The inner wall is almost twice
the height and is almost the same width.
Along he top of the inner wall runs for
its entire length "A promenade Is feet
wide, The engineering difficulties over
come and the great amount of labor
spentin building the walls may be gath
cred from the fact that they run up the
side of mountains, across rivers, and
everywhere follow the boundary of the
ancient empire. Even to this day the
savage Mougol tribes regard the great
wall as the limit of their pastures. The
two walls together, if stretched out in
straight line, would reach from New
York to Las Vegas, so that if they had
been in place Gov. Roosevelt might
have ridden his bronco all the distance
from home to the rough riders reunion
without dismomting Broken up into
paving stones the two walls would cover
a road bed 100 feet wide and reaching
from New York to San Francisco.

Authors in China.

Authors in China have a lovely time. When the editor rejects a contribution he does not return it together with cruelty polite little printed slip which states that "it is not because of any fault with the MS, but because of the present large supply on hand of matter of the same description" the article is returned. No this is the kind of let ter the Chinese editor writes:
 "Illustrious Brother of the Sun and Moon! Behold thy servant at thy feet, who kisses the earth before thee and asks thy gracious permission to speak and live. We have read thy manu- ccript with delight. By the bones of our ancestors we swear that we have never found such manuscript! If We should print it, his majesty, the em- peror, would command us to adopt it as a standard and never again print anything not equal to it. As that would not be possible within 10000 years, we return thy manuscript, trem- bling and imploring thy pardon 10000 times. My head is at thy feet and am the slave of thy slave.'
 Courtesy could hardly be carried fur ther, and whenever they decline an ar- ticle the Chinese newspapers must make a friend of the author.

IN JAIL FOR DEBT.
Debtors Prison Where Immortality
 Reigned Supreme.

Reigned Supreme
 The Kings Bench was the largest of all the debtors prisons. It formerly stood on the east side of she Higk street, on the site of what is now the second street north of St. Georges Church, London. This prison was taken down in 175S, and the debtors were removed to a larger and much more commodious place on the other side of the street south of Lant street. the site is now marked by number of new and very ugly houses and mean streets. In the year 1776 the prisoners had to lie two in bed, and even for those who could pay there were not beds enough, and many slept on the floor of the chapel. There were S95 prisoners; in addition to the prisoners many of them had wives and children with them. There were 279 wives and 275 children-a total of 1899 sleeping every night in the prison. There was good water supply, but there was no infirmary, no resident surgeon, and no bath. Imagine place containing 1899 persons, and no bath and no indrmaryi Among these prisoners, about a hun dred years ago, was a certain Colonel George Hanger, who has left his Me moirs" behind him for the edifcation of posterity. According to him the prison "rivaled the purlieus of Wap- ping, St. Giles, and St. James in vice, debauchery, and drunkenness" The general immortality was so great that it was only possible, he says, to escape eontagion by living separate, or by consorting only with the few gentle men of honor who might be found there. Otherwise a man will quickly sink into dissipation: he will lose every sense of honor and dignity, every moral principal and virtuous disposition"
