An Oriental Declination

From the New York Success
 This is how the editor of a paper in Pe- kin, China, describes a manuscript
 "Illustrious brother of the sun and moon Look upon the slaves Vn,a roll a, thy feet, who kisses the earth before thee and demands of thy charity permission to speak and live.
 \We have read the manuscript with de- light. By the bones of our ancestors we swear that never have we encountered such a masterpiece. Should we print it his maj esty the Emperor would never again print anything which was not equal to It. As that would not be possible before 0,00C years, all tremblngly we return thy manu- script and beg thee ten thousand pardons. See-my head is at thy feet, and am the slave of thy servant THE EDITOR"

Nothing from Admiral Remey

Washington, July 13. - Secretary Long stated at late hour tonight that he had not received a word during the day or evening from Admiral Remey, in command of the Asiatc station, and now in Chinese waters. The fact that the admiral has not made any report of the conditions said to exist in Pekin and the reported murder of the minister, the Secretary regards as a hopeful sign as he inclines to the opinion that, had any of the finality occurred in the capital. some word of rumor of it might have found Its way to Tien Tsin.

Two Republics: The trial before a jury of the two brothers, Pi04uinto and Vidal Flamenco, for the murder of Wm. Ricardo Lozano. took place on Thursday. The murder occurred about year ago in Coyoacan. The two brothers when passing the house of Lozano in Coyoacan, threw stones at the windows. Lozano ran out and asked what they meant. A row en- sued the two brothers threw stones again, and one hit Lozano on the head and killed him. During the investi- gations made by the judge of the fifth criminal court, Pioquinto confessed that he threw the stone which killed Lozana. The jury acquitted Vidal and condemned Pioquinto as guilty of the murder. The judge sentenced him to thirteen years iL the peniten- tiary.

It Shows Marked Devia tions Near the
Coast Of Eastern Maine.
The captain of the United States
lighthouse tender Myrtle, which was
here a few days ago. reports a peculiar
state of affairs in the eastern part OF
the state of Maine, says the Ports
mouth IN. H. Chronicle. He says
that while going through many. Of the
passages he notices that the compass
swings around from one to two points.
:. his is especially noticed in Deer Is
and passage and in some places is
very dangerous to vessels, as in thick
weather the deviation is sufficient to
put them ashore. He says he has no
ticed this deviation especially between
South Mark island and Dry Halibut
rock. In passing Mark island the de-
Walton is from ~three-fourths to one
and one-half points, and from the
time this trouble is first noticed until
the vessel passes out Of the magnetic
belt requires about eight minutes.
Some of the residents Of the islands
say that magnetic ore on Camps is

alton. The captain Of n steamer
told him that the ore is particularly
noticeable on Marshall's island, and
he has observed that the greatest de-
Walton is at high water. The tripod
on Dry Halibut rock has been boarded
up solidly with heavy planks. This is
for the purpose of giving back an echo
in thick weather. The captains Of

MAN IN SOCIETY.
Tho Neglected "Mister'' II Beginning to
Receive RAcoRnltlon.

Tho Neglected "Mister'' IL Beginning to
Receive Recognition.
Every season brings certain changes
In etfquette-little variations in card
leaving and entertaining by which the
elect may recognize their own. One
new departure Of this season is the
fashion Of issuing all invitations in
names Of both host and hostess. IN
til now, lovely woman has reigned su-
preme on the "at home card, and the
name Of the mere man was never men
toned unless it were a dinner invita-
tion-a survival from the days when
the host was an important person be-
cause he carved. Dinner a la Russo
has long since robbed him Of his I'M
pleasant prerogative, so that he is
quite-as useful. or so. at after
noon tea than he is at dinner. Every
invitation arrives with mi. and Mrs"
at the top. Why this is so is impossi-
BILE to say, except perhaps that the
married couple are anxious to let their
friends know that they are still living
together. Whatever the reason. how
ever, the result will doubtless be good,
and the plainest andshyest of men will
have blown out into attractive hosts
under the feeling that they are bound
to show up at their own parties. and
do their share in the entertaining.
Crushes are no longer in favor. The
mere love Of examining a room with a
crowd of people is among the things
of the past. Small, select parties are
much better style. when no n is
asked who has not some raison d'etre.
Very little music is being given at
parties this season. Hostesses recog-
nize that people want to talk. and are
only too thankful to be let alone. In
PRODUCING has not been very fashion
able; the most popular hostess as a
rule, is she who let her guests find
their own friends. "The hostess who
worries you," a mere man declares, "is
luckily getting unpopular, and people
only like to patronize the salon of the
chatelaine who has mastered the great
art of letting her guests alone" The
number of entertainments given In ho-
tells and smart restaurants is n of
the growing signs Of the laziness of
modern life, and the tendency to cen
tralize in all things. People are thank
full to be saved trouble at any cost,
and giving parties in hotels saves an
illimitable amount of calculation on
the part of the hostess. No mere man
need to make elaborate calculations as
to the amount Of food and drink re-
quired, no troublesome consultations
with the cook. the whole matter ID
taken out Of the entertainers hands.
and attended to by an all-knowing ho-
tel manager. The house is not turned
upside down, nor the servants driven

These entertainments at hotels have q
species of novelty about them which
make them acceptable to the guests,
and they give the minimum of trouble
for the hostess.-St. Louis Globe

Revenge.

The harvest moo climbed slowly up
the cloudless sky, shining white and
clear on the sleeping town at Tun-
bridge Wells. The silence of night was
on the sleeping town. Two women,
closely cloaked, crept stealthily along,
the elder demonstrating.
"It's a great risk you run, mistress"
she whispered.
IF you fear to come with me, Betty,
/ 60 alone"
MAY, madam, my fears are not for
myself. I know my place better than
to leave my mistress alone to meet
wild Sir Harry Fortescue."
Meanwhile pacing slowly backwards
and forwards in the shadow cast by
high banks half hidden by brambles,
a man waited their approach. As the
men came into sight he advanced

The moonlight fell full on the group,
as the woman stopped and threw back
her hood, and 1t shone on her pale,
set face. Seeing it, Sir Harry faltered
and tapped ~uneasily on the lid Of his

what . whale Weighs.

Have you any idea of the size Of the
common Greenland whale? Nillson,
the BIOLOGIST, estimates the full grown
animal to average 100 tons, or 224, 900
pounds. That is to say a whale weighs
as much as about 80 elephants or
bears. OF course some run larger than
this. There are tales among old whal-
ers OF. whales ITO feet long, and weigh
ing at least $50 tons. But such are
not seen in these days. A N-foot whale
ia a big one now. Still, 1t may give
some idea Of what monsters are occa-
sionally killed when we mention that
a ton of oil has been extracted from
the tongue Of q single whale.

Il came prepared, you see, Sir
Harry" she said. as she carefully
measured the foils to see that they
were of equal length. "Now, sir,
choose your foil and take your stand"
This is midsummer madness. i'm
deed! Mistress March, or Ingledew, ii
1t pleases you better. And though it
may be pretty fooling when SO fair a
lady plays part in it., I like it not"
will you choose a foil?"
mo, madam"
Coward" She held a foil by the
hilt now, and at the word struck him
lightly across the face with the fat OF
the blade.
His face was white with anger, save
where a red line showed where her
blow had fallen.
Had a man struck that blow he
would not have seen tomorrow's sun!
But a woman is privileged to some ex-
tent. I will fence with you, madam,
since you insist, and when you are dis.
armed I will take my revenge in
Kisses"
The moon flung their shadows on the
ground in grotesque confusion, and
glittered on the blades of the foils as
they thrust and parted. She fenced
with care and skill that come of long
practice.
At first the man carelessly parted
her thrusts. laughing and testing at
the strange fate which led him, q
noted duelist. to cross swords with q
woman. But by degrees the Jest and
laugh died on his lips, and his gaze
remained fixed on something over Do
rothy's shoulder. It may have been
fancy, or the flicker of the moonlight
on his adversary's uncovered hair. but
he thought the face Of Winifred looked
v her sisters shoulder.
He began to falter, and a lunge
Dorothy made remained impaired.
"Winnie!" he cried. and as the cry
left his lips Dorothy pierced his heart,
He stumbled; then fell at her feet,
For a moment she stood aghast at the
fulfllment of her vow; then, flingins
away the foil, she knelt at his side.
His eyes opened and as they fell
upon Dorothy the hooking smile
struggled again to the white lips,
There was no sound but his gaspins
breath. His eyes opened again.
"Forgive!" he gasped.
His head fell back, and Sir Harry
Fortescue was dead.
Dorothy flung herself on the body
and kissed the lips again and again,
weeping bitterly. Her maid tried to
draw her away.
Let me be-" she sobbed. LET me
be! o, my love, my love! I thought
there was room for nothing in my
heart but hate. and I killed him
killed him. But I shall love him till
I diet"
Mistress, you forget" pleaded Bet
ty. "The watch will be here with the
day."
Dorothy shuddered and allowed Betty
to wrap the cloak around her. The
Waiting woman gave a last searching
glance round to make sure that they
had left nothing to betray them. and
then with the foils hidden under hel
cloak, led her mistress away. The
pride and fire that had sustained the
girl during. the night had gone. and
