The Chinese Family.

One of the most striking elements in
Chinese life is its solidarity. As is well
known the family has a much larger
function than with US. The marriage
of a son does not break in upon the
family life, but enlarges it, the daugh-
ter-in-law becoming incorporated in the
family of her husband. Several genera
tions may be welded together in one
home, the authority of the elders be-
coming the more absolute with time
Growing old is certainly robbed in
China of some of the terrors it has
among US. The older man grows the
more weight is accorded to his wisdom
A girl may be worse than valueless;
young wife is the hapless servant Of her
mother-in-law. but a mother is sure of
honor, which increases with the years,
and a grandmother rules the genera
tions with rod of iron.-Detroit Free

Washington, representing Great Brit

sitting took place May 10. The commits
sioners were engaged all that morning
in comforting with the chief justice,
William L. Chambers. Nothing was
disclosed regarding the deliberations;
but it is reported that they will uphold
the action of Admiral Kautz, the Ameri-
can naval commander.
Mataafa sent the commissioners let
ter of welcome and expressed hope that
they would satisfactorily end the trou-
bles in Samoa.
1t is understood Mataafa will obey
the unanimous order of the commits

will order his followers to disarm, I'M

they will never recognize Malietoa as

ship is maintained.
Only one or two cases are known of
the wounding of natives by the shell
fire of the warships, and as they have
not realized the strength of the Euro
peans they may go to greater extremes
if war arises again.
The rebels remain outside the lines
indicated by the admiral and have
strongly fortified new position, while
the loyalists are being drilled and have
fortified Mulinuu. A considerable num-
Der of loyalists have been brought by
the warships from other islands.
Half the male adults of Samoa are
awaiting action upon the part of the
commission in order to support Malie-

Indicate them.
Replying to questions submitted to
him by a correspondent of the press,
Mataafa said it was the head chiefs
and not himself who began the war,
adding that they did so because they
were angered at power being taken
from them by violence and also be-
cause they were made angry by the
chief Justices unjust decision
Mataafa claimed he had upheld the
treaty, and said his orders throughout
were not to fire upon the Europeans.

party of blue-jackets could several

CRIMINAL ANIMALS.
Facts from a Naturalist's study OF
Thoroughly Wicked Wild
Beasts.

e. Seton Thompson. naturalist to the
government of Manitoba, gives in his
book. wild Animals Have Known"
among wild beasts.
The best story is that of the New
Mexican wolf who led a band that killed
cow a day for five years. Finally the
ranchers offered $1,000 for this VOLTS
pelt. He was easily distinguished His
track was an inch wider than that of
other wolves.
A professional wolf hunter tried to
earn the bounty, but the wolves killed
his dogs and he gave it up. Then Mr.
Thompson took the case. He melted
cheese in the fat of heifer, in china
dish, cut it into Jumps with bone knife
to avoid the faint of metal, and put in
strychnine and cyanide in odor-proof
capsules. He wore gloves STEPPED in
| cows blood, and avoided breathing on
the bats.
The bats were picked up. He fol-
lowed the track and found that the wolf
had laid all four together and scattered
dirt over them.
The wolves then took to killing sheep
Traps were set to the number of 80 in
different parts of the ranch. The trails
of the big wolf and of the pack were
traced up to one set of traps and the
| doings of the leader were marked in
the dust
He had stopped the rest, warned by
scent. and scratched around the trap
till he found the buried chain and
picket. On another part of the ranch
he entered an H-shaped series of traps
and detected the danger. The trail
showed that he had slowly backed out
on his own track, putting each paw
down backward until out of the dan
gerous ground. He had then sprung
some of the traps by scratching clods
and stones backward at them with his
hind feet.
He was at last caught by dragging
over the traps the body of a female
wolf. the scent of which he followed.
| No more shillful criminal than this
wolf was ever known. 'Old Eph." a
lame grizzly, which in two years ruined
/ half the hog-raisers in the Sacra-
mento valley by his wasteful love OF
pork. was a close second.

place on the farms near.
At last it was tracked in the snow

means TO conceal it by running along
