Fox aaa the Grapes.

Once upon time a fox espied some
grapes growing upon a tall tree OF
telegraph pole; it does not matter
which. The fox tried to borrow a step
ladder of a neighboring farmer, but
failed. II don't want your old grapes
anyway" the fox now declared. ZAP

A Throne That Went Begging.

From the Youths Companion.
Queen Nictoria's sons have inherited from
their father, the prince consort, a pretty
principality and throne in Germany. This
is SaXe-Coburg and Gotha, a duchy with a
territory of about $50 square mies-three-
fourths of the area of Rhode Island-and a
population exceeding 100000. 1t is not a
stronghold of power and influence, but a
good deal of money goes with it, and makes
it worth while to keep it in the family.
The Prince of Wales renowned his rights
to the duchy because he was heir to the
English throne. The Duke of Edinburgh
accepted the inheritance, but he has no son
to succeed him. The Duke of Connaught
was the next in line, but he and his son
have renowned their rights. The heir to
the throne is the son of the late Duke of
Albany, the queens fourth son.
He is a school boy, in his fifteenth year,
and has no prospects in England. He will
now go to Germany to finish his education,
and will cease to be an English prince. He
will owe allegiance to the German emperor,
and will probably serve his time in the
army.
The Inheritance has been arranged by
Queen Victoria, whose will is law in the
English royal family. She has provided
for one of her favorite grandsons a snug
and comfortable little throne on the CONT
nent, where he will have little to do, and
where his income will be large.

FRIENDLY TO CHINA.
Minister Wu's View of This Country
Oriental Policy.


Mr. w. the Chinese minister, has made
the following statement in regard to the
American policy of free ports in China:
Il am convinced that the United States,
in taking action with respect to its inter-
estS in China is actuated not only by a de-
sire to protect these interests, but also to
conserve the friendly relations which have
always subsisted between the Pekin and
Washington governments. 1t Is said that
two constructions might be placed upon
the action taken by the President-one that
spect to affairs in the territory of my gov
eminent this government has taken a step
in Chinese affairs which may be prelim-
mary to acquiring a foothold on the Asiatic
continent.
1.-The other view is that this government
has announced to the powers of Europe its
purpose to fully protect American inter
ests; that it will oppose the acquisition and
closing up of territory in the empire, and
to this extent give its support to the i'm
perial government. l hold to this view, for
I am confident that the policy of the United
States, as 1t has ever been in the past, will
be honorable and friendly toward China.
Il am satisfied that the United States
has no intention of esta blishing itself on
the Asiatic continent. You have only re-
archipelago, which furnishes an excellent
base from which your merchants and com
mercial men can operate in China. The
possession of this territory entirely obvf-
more than 1t has already done to preserve
its commercial rights. To do more would
be to inJure the friendly relations between
the two governments. The existing con-
dition is beneficial not only to China, but
to the United States as well. because of
not only by my government. but by the
Chinese people"

How the Doctor Got His Clock.

From the Philadelphia Record.
In the hallway of Philadelphia doctors
house stands fine example of grand
fathers clock. the possession of which the
medical man owes entirely to a pinch of
snuff. Some years ago the doctor in ques-
ton set his heart upon such a timepiece,
and devoted two of his vac cations to clock
farm houses without success. as old fur
niture has been pretty we'll gathered up
by the dealers down east and then car
ried his quest into Delaware and Mary
land, where he found many old clocks. but
none of them for sale
He was about to return home disconso-
late. when he was called into consultation
over a patient dying of quinsy. The re-
sources OF medicine had been exhausted
when the Quaker city doctor bethought
himself of an old snuff box he had picked
up during his wandcrings in which still
fingered modicum of snuff pungent as of
yore. With this powdered tobacco the doc
tor assailed the nOstrils of the sick man.
who. sneeZing violently. broke the abscess
in his throat that was choking him to
death. Stimulants We're administered and
the sick man recovered.
The Philadelphia doctor left the place the
morning after this remarkable operation,
but he had not been home week before
the grateful Marylander sent him grand
fathers clock. accompanied by card upon
which written: This clock, which
struck the hour of my birth, would have
also marked the hour of my death If your
skill and knowledge had not stayed the
hand of the destroyer.

An Anchor of the Armada.

From the London Daily News.
A few days ago the crew Of a traveller en-
gagged in 'obster fishing near kinsale had
great difficulty in getting their anchor
aboard, which was firmly fixed in some
massive hard substance in the sand bank.
With great trouble they succeeded in bring
ing to the surface a very ancient anchor
of five tons in weight. the shank being over
ten feet in length and the bend of equal
proportions, with small antique cannon
attached thereto. The anchor. which prob
ably belonged to one of the ships of Span
ish armada, which was wrecked on this
coast must have been imbedded in the
sand for upward OF three centuries and
Is covered with marine matter which, in
the course of centuries, has been converted
into hard. rocky fossil substance. The
anchor is. of course, considerably worn. but
1t still presents very massive appearance
and must have belonged to a large shin. 1t
mas been brought to the lower slip of the
klnsa-e pier, where 1t is at present. and is
an object of the very greatest interest and
curiosity.
