The Washington correspondent
Of the Gall Herald says in reference
to the Chinese cases: "The attorneys
for the Chinese in Hawaii maintain
that it is unfair to enforce the laws
of the United States upon people
who went out of Hawaii believing
that they could return under the
laws which then existed. 1t is
thought likely that the Attorney
Gene ral will uphold the decision of
the Hawaiian Judge and admit the
Chinese who will be debarred unless
the decision holds"

Strange Feats of Eye and Hand.

An expert who prided himself upon
the smallness Of his writing sent the
president of the French academy a
grain of wheat on which he had writ
ten 221 words. a Polish poet wrote
all of Homer's "Iliad' on a piece of
paper which could be rolled up small
enough to go into a nutshell.
In the sixteenth century man named
Mark offered to Queen Elizabeth a gold
chain of 50 links. The chain was so
fine it could not be seen unless it was
put on q sheet Of white paper. To
prove it's lightness Mark tied it to fly,
which flew away with it, The most
curious fact in this MATTER which re-
Quired so extraordinary a facility of
touch for making this ornament, was
that Mark was q blacksmith, accus-
toned to all kinds Of heavy tools all
day long.
A Spaniard, Joseph Faba, made q
carriage as large as a grain of wheat.

sible to see the interior fitted up with

Sell For So.
Most Of the cheap oil paintings"
said the picture dealer, ARE done by
Italians on the east side in New York.
They work in their living rooms, and
most of the paintings have several
half grown children as assistants. The
wholesale dealers have a number Of
such artists on their books and agree
to take all they can do, the firm sup
plying the canvas, but not the paints,
OF course the pictures are done rapid

two clever children. AS you may see,
some of the pictures are by no means

What's In a Namcs

In an article On Indian names NJ.
Frank Terry comments on the odd effect
produced by giving rein to this fancy
for distinguished appellations in the re-
naming of Il,.ians. Often their native
names are unpronounceable and the
translations long and not in accordance
with our ideas Of what is pleasing. So,
instead Of simply turning Bear-Sits-
Down or Mule-Kicks-Up or Jumping
Rabbit into English, the Indian is re-
named entirely, and is given the first
famous name that comes to mind.

A Chair of UncIeiSn Needed.

Unclehood is about the hardest hood
man has to wear, and, as [ have Observ-
ed uncles and their habits, they either
spoil or repel the small chaps and chap
posses who happen to be made their
nephews and nieces by an accident Of
birth Uncles are either intensely
genial or intensely irritable, and as Iar
as l am concerned it is my belief that
our colleges should include in their car
riculum a chair of "uncleism."
Unclehood is a relationship that man
has to accept. 1t is thrust upon him.
He can't help himself. TO be a father
or a mother is a matter of vOlition. But
even in a free country like our own, if
a man has a brother or a sister, he is
liable to find himself an uncle at any
time whether he wishes to be one or
not Then when it happens he's got to
reason out a course of procedure with
out any basis in previous experience

THE MODERN ENGLISHMAN
An Incident Which APPLY Illustrates
His DeIiberateness.

To illustrate the deliberateness Of the
modern Englishman let me tell of hat
which blew off mechanics head on
the top of bus crossing Albert bridge.
A stiff breeze blew up the Thames, and
the hat was whirled against the side of
the bridge and then went spinning
down the footway in the opposite di-
rection from that which the omnibus
pursued. II say" said the mechanic,
reaching over and touching the driver
on the shoulder; ''me ats bowed off. .
The driver fidgeted a moment at this
sudden interruption then took q tight
er grasp of the reins and clucked to the
horses to quicken their pace. The hat
and the vehicle spun along in opposite
ways II say, driver, said the mechan-
ic; "me ats blowed off. - The driver
fdgeted again, but now his mind grasp
ed the situation. though most unwiH-
ingly.
cit as, as it?'' he said, turning to
the man "Well, then, that'll teach
you to buy ats to fit your 'ead. [ 'ad a
ole lot Of ats blow off before [ made
up me mind to get EN- to fit me 'ead.
After that | 'ad no more trouble.
The hat was still bowling along and
was now at the farther end Of the
bridge. The mechanic looked at it
DULY. l was in fever Of gratuitous
impotence for the bus to stop OF for
the man to climb down. The driver
turned back to his work and clucked to
his horses, who quickened their gait.
Just then a vagrant stopped the flight
Of the hat and ran and caught the bus
and got a penny for his pains. So every
one was happy, even Julian Ralph
in Harper's Magazine,
