TINY CHINESE MAID

captivated an Entire Train.Loa0 04
Admirers by Her Quaintnesa.
A tiny Celestial Queen held In ab-
,olute sway a transcontinental express
that recently made its way from San
Francisco to New York. She ruled by
right of beauty and sweetness, and
every man, woman and child aboard
acknowledged her sovereignty. Dress
ed in her quaint Oriental costumes. she
accepted the homage paid her with
demure grace that went to every
heart
The little maid was travelling with
her mother, Lam Sheng. and her father,
Chu Moy Yen. Mr.. Yen is employed In
a railway Office In New York, and,
though he has been married eight years.
he was only now bringing to his home
In Amekica his wife and child.
Mrs. Yen was one Of the Chinese
beauties of Hongkong before her mar
Rage, and was the daughter Of a
wealthy tea merchant, who had
amassed q fortune in the trade with
the United States.
That was how Mr.. Yen, who was
brought up and educated in America,
found favor with the merchant in
China, and was permitted to marry his
daughter. After the marriage Mrs.
Yen could not make up her mind to
leave China, and her husband had to
return without her.
This summer she consented, and with
her little daughter Bo left Hongkong
for Port TOwnseDd. Her husband met
her there and brought her to her New
York home. ArA Yen IL an Oriental
lady Of quality In every respect She
has received the advantage of an edu-
cation, accorded few Chinese women.

be sure, but with sufficient command
to make herself understood.

tive. Both were dressed alike. with
the single exception of colors, the head
being uncovered, and the garments con-
sisting of a voluminous overdress of
silk. with flowing sleeves. and silk
trousers, covered with a very wide
sash Of the finest silk.
Mrs. Yen wore an overdress Of blue
silk. while Bo was dressed In lavender,
trimmed with black. The seams were
covered with the daintiest Of silk en-
broidery. and both wore Jewels. Little
Bo had a circlet Of velvet. with pen
dants Of strings Of pearls at the end Of
which were sapphires. and wore ear
rings set with turQuoises and small
diamonds.
The mother wore q magnificent pair
Of turquoise earrings, carved in the
shape Of q crescent Her slippers. Of
white silk. which incased feet hardly
half the size of those Of her little
daughter. were embroidered with gar

long black hair was caught with a bow

GHOST FOR A FIREMAN.

r...H That's What the Engineer
Thouxht, and 1t Scared Him.
"I met q man on my last trip" said
an old railway conductor, who re-
minded me of a very singular story.
He used to be an engineer. and about
ten years ago he had.a job pulling
freight on a division that took him ID
and out Of Chattanooga. One night
when he was going up q pretty sim
Grade, the coupling broke between the
engine and the tender, and his fireman,
who was standing on the connecting
plate, balancing a shovelful OF coal ID
the glare Of the open fire box. went
down exactly like a man disappearing
through a trap-door. The whole train
passed over him and he was ground to
rags. This tragedy. happening right
before the engineers eyes, gave him
a friehtful shock, and his nerves were
thoroughly unstrung.
"About two weeks afterward his
new fireman was suddenly taken sick
and another man was put on just be-
fore the train pulled out. The engin-
eer gave him a hasty glance in the
dusk Of the depot, told him curtly
what he wanted him to do and climbed
up into his seat. He was ve1ed, as en-
gineers always are, at having to take
out a stranger, and said nothing to him
for perhaps an hour. Then he turned
to give him some trifling order. and
there, standing on the plate, balancing
his shovel In the red glare, exactly as
he was on that fatal night, he saw his
dead fireman. He glared at him
moment and then pitched over head
foremost in a swoon. When he came
to his senses he was lying in the ca
boose, and it was a good while before
he could tell the boys what had hap
pened.
Then the explanation came out.
The new fireman was a cousin Of the
one who had been killed, and they
looked very much alike. Seen under
the peculiar circumstances I have de-
scribed the resemblance must have
been extraordinary. At any rate the
episode ended the engineers career as
railroader. He threw up his Job
and got a place clerking In a store. and
eventually he worked into a partner
ship. That was the man met on the
train the other night He told me he
was doing very well and that nothing
.ould induce him to 60 back to the
old business"

Dewey once attended a wedding
breakfast at which the able Baroness
de Struve. wife Of the Russian min
lister at that time, was present. Dewey
had met this famous woman several
times before. The facial plainness Of
the baroness was quite beyond belief,
but she was one Of the most brilliant,
lovable and kindly women ever elected
to guide the social affairs Of the diplo-
matte corps in Washington. A lady
who overheard 1t tells Of an amusing
passage which the baroness and Dew
ey (who, II memory serves, was then
a commander) had at this particular
wedding breakfast.

oness amiably, after some playful re-
mark as to the spick-and- span polish Of

As he is now, but this stalled him.

may be found that Uncle Russell Sage

Ask any acquaintance how much 4
Hon weighs. and see what he will say.
Those who know the look Of the king
of beasts best, and how small his 1.-the
body really is. will probably. come
farthest from the truth. About 300
pounds to $50 pounds is the usual esti-
mate. But this is below the mark. A
full-grown lion will tip the scale at no
less than 500 pounds. Five hundred
and forty pounds Is the record for an
African lion. His bone is solid and
heavy as ivory. The tiger runs the
lion very close. A Bengal tiger. killed
two years ago by a British officer,
scaled $40 pounds. A tiger Of this size
has. however. considerably greater
muscular strength than the biggest
lion.

All the people who have ever had
much to do with cats say that they cam
not be trusted. A dog will do as he has
been taught. but a cat will only mind
while it is watched. A lady who owns
one has often whipped it for coming
into the parlor, where, with its sharp
clawj, it tears up the curtains or any
thing else that fiutters. While the lady
is in the house the cat will never go
into the parlor, but when she has been
out she always finds pussy's black hairs
on the parlor sofa cushions. The other
day, when she came home from a call,
she saw pussy in the parlor window
lazily watching the people go by. When
1t saw her coming 1t jumped and ran
up stairs, where she found 1t pretend

Diplonat's Funny Error.
Some men like to wear a broad band
II black crepe on their hats. They
think it improves the appearance OF
man and chapeau, and do not hesitate
to adopt 1t whether there Is a death In
the family or not. The British have
taken to the arm band as an outward
show Of grief, and we see Its employ
ment creeping in here. 1t Is In very
poor taste. Following an ancient and
honorable custom certain people regard
the death of a friend as an exemption
from bathing for seven days. The
Greeks and Romans tasted, and all ma
tions, at one time or another, have had
funeral feasts.
In q fashionable street on Sunday /
noticed, tied to the dOOrknOb Of q
brown stone house, a mourning rosette
and streamers, the color Of violet. l
once saw n similar emblem at the Hotel
De Byzance, In ConstantinOple, and the
landlord, Mr.. ArghiropOulO, informed
me that the ordinary color for mourn
ing in Turkey is violet. When we see
n black hearse we say grown person."
when we see a white one 1t is ''child." :"
The ordinary color for mourning In
Europe is black, in China white, in
Ethiopia brown. 1t was white in Spain
until 149S.

Chinese Minister at Washington, who.
having but recently arrived. threw the
entire legation into mourning because

bills through the city cast lot into the
