At Mme. Patti,s Castle.

Visiting Mime, Pa1ti's superb castle in Wales, guest not long since had a very curious experience. He chaneed to open his window in the middle of the night, and. to his surprise, bells began to ring in every quarter of the grounds. Very much scared, but realizing that he had, after all, only set a burglar alarm going, the guest descended to reassure the household, when he instantly found himself in danger from dozen rowing dogs, who had obtained their freedom and were growing and snapping in the ugliest manner At breakfast next morning he learned all about the cu- rious fad of Mme Patti, and wondered at t.
 The singer has a great dread of bur glars. Some time ago a gang of these gentlemen from London attempted to obtain admittanee, but were defeated in their object, and since that date Mme Patti has set up every kind of burglar alarm that exists. The queer part about one of these is, however, well worth noticing. Her largest dog, aR enormous brute, who might be relied on to cope with a little army of thieves, is kept vigorously chained in a patent kennel But the chain is so arranged that should any one attempt to open a window or a door in the castle the dog is released and free to rove at his pleasure. it being presumed that he would at once make for the burglars and do his duty. The idea is ingenious, and, as the traveller discovered, not a little dangerous.

 Write the careers of all the great statesmen living to-day and probably none will be so thrilling as that of Ii Hung Chang. The world may credit other men with richer deeds and hold their names in higher esteem, but those are not the points of comparison. The great achievements of most men of history were under conditions that did not exist in China during the many years that u Hung Chang has been putting his name on the scroll of fame. Statesmen of other countries have had the people behind them. If not the people then the holstering power of government. Li Hung Chang has had

PoLIcEMAN,s UNHAPPY LOT
Some Sage Remarks by Officer Who
 Knew Whereof He Spoke.


 Knew Whereof He Spoke.
 The downtown policeman was in reminiscent mood. Yes he said, never go before a man when you are arresting him, and whatever you do, never precede him when you are going down flight of stairs. I was walking my beat one dark night when l heard cries of murder coming from tene- ment house. Running to the place, saw a great hulk of a fellow beating his wife. who was screaming and shouting in mortal terror. At the sight of me the fellow ran upstairs, and 1 went at- ter him. The stairway leading from the upper floor to the kitchen below was a very narrow affair. and it was impossible for two to walk abreast So, with my prisoner at arms length to the rear, l went down the flight. There was an old-fashioned door at the bot tom of the staircase, and had hardly opened it when something hit me whack on the head like load of bricks falling from a seyen-story roof. At the SdutE LlIuG d SI1itl IClAc4C fO4SC nlAA ASAA ed out: There, you brute. you will strike a defenseless woman, will your and again she raised long, heavy iron poker, which she held in her hand, to strike me As she looked up she saw her mistake, but too late to check her sinewy right. which was twirling through the air. Down came the poker again. Bang! it didn't do thing to my helmet, and I saw more stars at that time than ever l did on a bright night in August. Holy motherl' shriek- ed out the woman, when she saw what she had done, I've struck the cop and thought it was Jimmy I was bateing.' To make my cup of sorrow more bitter the next morning the woman sWore that her husband always treated her kindly, and that I had no right to in terfere while Jimmy was giving her only what she deserved Yes, whatever people may say. a policeman's lot is no bed of roses"

lNEBRlETY AMONG ANIMAL ;.
Monkeys, Rats. Birds and Even Insects Love
 fntoxicants.

tnIO8JcauLSs
 It is a curious fact that there are topers innumerable in the animal king dom. Bipeds and quadrupeds alike are fond of alcoholic drinks and all though some display aversion when first tasting liquor, they scon acquire craving for it.
 Chickens and ducks, after having once tasted brandy, become absolute slaves to the drink They refuse to eat, grow thin and exhibit symptoms of dejection when unable to obtain their favorite tipple.
 Monkeys and apes are passionately fond of spirituous liquors. Of these, Buffon's wine-bibbing chimpanzee was shining example, and Brehm, the German zoologist, owned several man. drills that drank wine regularly and did not disdain brandy.
 HerbivorGus animals frequently be- come intoxicated, innocently enough, through eating decaying fruit. In orchards oxen and COWS, after eating overripe apples, have been seen to dis pldy all tue symptoms Ol LII uIuuhCAAC9S' They stagger, their eyes lose expres- sion and they grow sleepy.
 It seems that animals are susceptible to alcoholism in proportion to the de- Yelopment of their intelligence. Ele- plants are fond of wine and rum, and rats gnaw the slaves of wine casks to get at the contents Cats, however, rarely exhibit a fondness for intoxi- cants.
 Among birds the parrot takes first place as an habitual toper. Insects have many opportunities to become in- toxieated, and it is the most active that most frequently avail themselves of the chance There is an aromatic, intoxicating fluid in linden blossoms for which bees show an especial fond- ness.
 Instances have been observed where swarms of bees regaled themselves with the poisonous linden nectar un- til they exhibited all the signs of in- toxieation Hundreds fell helplessly to the roadside to be trampled under foot.

the people against him and he has felt at the same time the deadly enmity of the advisers of the throne, and even of the throne itself.
 Ii Hung Chang rose from clerk in the civil service, and the blood of a noble ancestry did not flow in his veins. Any Chinese may become a no- bleman of the highest rank through 8 series of graduatiens. Regular civil service examinations permit him to ad- vance step by step. Even Coolie may become a prime minister, and, though highly improbable, 1t is not impossible. that a prime minister, with the powers and cruel fate against him, might become a Coolie.
 u Hung Chang fought his way up in the face of the bttterest opposition, and as he forced his way up he forced China up with him, compelling her to adopt improvements that have given the country her present standing among progressive nations.
 Romantic literature doesn't furnish 2 stronger story than that which covers the rise of Lii Hung Chang from ob- scurity to fame. He was horn Febru- ary Il, 1922, and lis biographers have failed to find any great names ill bis pedigree.
 When twenty-five years old he was locally known for his erudition, and was appointed to a small office. It was in 1861, when 39 years old, that he dem- onstrated what kind of metal was in him. He had reached the position of taotai, or prefect, of the district of Ki- angsu, which was then a hotbed of re- volt. His success in putting down the rebellion there was so remarkable that a year later he was appointed acting general of the forces about Shanghai and Sung Kiang There is where his masterful knowledge of European af- fairs showed itself. He was the one man in China who recognized the in feriority of the Chinese arms and the incompetency of it's military code.
 He engaged European generals and made the army learn the tactics of modern warfare. It was during that period that "ChiHaseo Gordon, after- wards killed in khartoum by Fl Ma6> his troops while defending the British garrison there, was engaged. So also were the French generals, Bungoyeine and Giguei This was what is known as the Tai-Ping rebellion, perhaps the largest and bloodiest of Chinese his- tory More than half the entire coun- try had risen, the purpose being to restore the Ming dynasty which the Tartars had turned out.
 It is on record that 2700000 persons were killed during this rebellion. But it was put down finally by the directing arm of Lii Hung Chang. and in recog- milton of that invaluable service he was made governor of Kiangsu, impe- rial commissioner for foreign trade, general of all the Chinese forces, and supreme adviser to the throne.
