Tine Chinaman Understood

William R. Walters. who is serving in the Philippines tells this story in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle: Some very anus ing affairs take place between our soldiers and the Chinese merchants, owing to the in ability of the Americans to "sabee' the Orientals language. During that part of the fighting which is known in our ranks as "the loot of Tondo" saw corporal of the Twentythird regulars rake small safe out of some ruins after fire. Finding 1t to be empty, he started away with it under his arm. Before he had gone very far he met a Chinese merchant, to whom he undertook to sell the purloined safe.
 'Lookee here, John. How muchee you give for safee? Bellee niece Mucho wanc safee?" says the corporal, with much ges- ticulation and contortion.
 'I really don't need a safe,' quietly re- piled the benighted Chnaman; ''but l sup pose you boys need some beer money, so what do you say to $1 for it?"

Stevenson as a Burglar

Edmund Gosse has written a paper on "Stevensohs Relations with Children" in Chambers Journal. In it he relates a story of his youthful days as narrated to himself by Stevenson. He was still a little feloY when in the summer holidays, after reading a number of detective novels of a bad kind, he was passing one Sunday afternoon along a road in an Edinburg suburb. There he saw a deserted house, furnished, but without caretaker. It struck young Stevenson that 1t would be a fine thing to break into this house, which he accordingly did, roaming from room to room, looking at books and pictures in great excitement, until he thought he heard a noise in the garden. Terror seized upon him as he imagined himself handcuffed and conveyed to prison just as the church folks were returning home. He burst out crying, then managed to creep out as he had come in.

sEA-BATHINo.

In proportion to the immense num-
Der Of those who battle in the sea every
summer very few are injurionsly af-
fected and yet the absolute number re-
seiving more or less injury is large
5ea-bathing is eminently tonic in its
effects, but is not suited to all who are
weak and need building up.
Very thin persons, the anaemic, con-
valescents from severe illness, and es-
pecially persons with weak or dis
eased hearts, are not apt to be bene-
flied by sea-baths, and should as
rule avoid them. The effect OF the cold
water is to drive the blood from the
surface to the internal organs, and the
resulting disturbances Of circulation
may be dangerous in those with heart
disorders or weakened blood-vessels,
for this reason the aged. especially.
should be very careful.
These remarks apply to saltwater
bathing as well as to surf-bathing, but
surf-bathing in any case is distinctly
unsuited to all but the robust.
Certain precautions are advisable for
all who battle in the yea. In the first
place. bathing should never be in
dulged in when overheated, nor within
two hours after hearty meal. On the
other hand. bathing on perfectly
empty stomach. as before breakfast is
not advisable; it is good plan for ear
ly morning bathers to take half a glass
of milk and a soda cracker before start
ing for the beach.

THE CANAL BILL
IS VOTED DOW
Emperor Williams Pet Scheme is
Rejected by the Pruss!an

Berlin, Aug. 19.-The lower house Of the
Prussian diet today rejected the entire
canal ball, by a vote of 22o to 247, thirty
two Of the members abstaining from vot-
ing. The bill for the Dortmund- Rhine
canal alone. was rejected by vote o.
80 to 134, three of the members alb
straining from voting.
The belief that Emperor William
would dissolve the diet in case It
should reject his cherished canal meas
ures, and show how deeply the de-
feat Of those measures has hurt him.
The Berlin Neueste Nachrlchren mas re-
celved from an authorized source the fol-
lowing communication: The King con-
siGers the attitude Of the conservative
party in the PrEssian diet toward the
Midland canal bill a personal affront and
blow at the fundamental relations
which have existed and should exist be
tween the kingdom and the Conservative
party. The King accordingly, is tn
clined to accept the challenge and 70
fight out the conflict regardless Of per-
son or party.
Before the vote was taken. Prince He
henlohe. the imperial chancellor, declared.
that even II the canal bill we're rejected.
it would remain on the orders of the day.
The attitude of the Conservatives
towards the measure will materially eff
feet their relations with the government.
