Bsssva1 From the Cuffs Bottom.

Mr.. P. ]. Mcneil, Of High Island,
made an unusual find on the beach at
that point a few days ago which made
him a richer man by several dollars.
The beach for several yards was
strewn with beeswax aggregatlng
about nve hundred pounds in weight.
1t seems that about foEty-slx years ago
a Spanish vessel, bound from some
Mexican port to New York, sank in the
Gulf about one hundred miles Off High
Island coast Part of her cargo was
beeswax and, after remaining at the
bottom Of the ocean for nearly half a
century, it finally drifted ashore. The
wax was in fine condition, and Mr.. Nc
Neel found little difficulty in dosposing
of it at a good figure.

NamlngaKaiilr Boy.

The war in South Africa has pro-
duced some strange results in the
nomenclature of children, but 1t has
been left to Kafflr to devise the most
curious combination-Bulle Churchill
Labouchere. Lest he forget, or there
should be any mistake, the proud faith
er had written the three names on a
piece of paper, which he handed to the
baphzing minister. Certainly the
Kaffir boy with the three names will
be a strange hotch-potch If he pos
sesses all the qualities of those after
whom he is named. --Westminster ca

LIshtning's Great Power.

During a thunderstorm near Consett,
in the North Durham district, England,
the lightning struck pasture field
and dug a trench varying from three
feet to three feet six inches in depth,
and six inches or seven inches wide
across the field for a distance of q
dozen feet. The solid clay was scat
tered in all directions, portions thereof
being found lying over twenty yards
away while the turf had been cut VI
as clean as If the work had been done
by a sharp implement One grass sod
measuring about six feet long and nine
inches in width, was laid on the oppo
site side of the fence in another field.

The Wlckedest Bit OF Sea.

Nine out Of ten travellers would tell
lnquirers that the toughest piece of
water Is that cruel stretch in the Eng
lish channel, and nine out of ten tray
elers would say what was not true. In
reality the "wlckedest bit Of sea" is not
in the Dover straits; or in yachting, for
example, from St Jean de LUZ up to
Pauillac; or across the Mediterranean
race from Cadiz to Tangiers. Nor is It
in rounding Cape Horn, where there is
what sailors cal a true" sea. The
"wickedenst sea" Is encountered in
rounding the Cape Of Good Hope for
the eastern ports OF Cape Colony.

Guinea Pig Farm Run BY a Woman

Milk is the only liquid that guinea
pigs drink. This is the testimony of
a Philadelphia woman who has farm
Of six hundred guinea pigs In that city.
The proprietor Of this unique establish
ment supplies the pigs for lnoculative
and scientific experiments to the Board
Of Health, universities, colleges, hospl-
tails and physicians.
1.-THE little animals are peculiar In
their habits, and need constant care
and attention" says this woman.
"They are extremely nervous, and a
sudden jar or Unexpected noise is liza
bic to kill them. A single thunder
shower will sometimes injure great
numbers, and perhaps kill eight or
ten Of them. AS l raise them strictly
for the use Of their blood, which must
be absolutely pure, feed them only
such vegetables as are conducive to
that result. Beets, carrots, apples,
green peas, oats, hay and grass consti.
tute their chief diet, with now and
then little cabbage for a relish. They
are extremely susceptible to heat and
cold, and during these hot days 1t takes
most of my time to regulate the tenn
perature Of their cages. Although
they are so tiny their average weight
is from five to seven pounds. Con
slderlng their size they require a good
deal Of food. The average age Of the
little fellows is two years. After thai
they become sickly."

FITZ STILL IN THE RING.

lLanky Bob Puts Ouletus on Akron
Giant In Short Order.
Bob Fitzsimmons met Gus Rubin,
the Akron giant, Friday night before
the Twentieth Century Club, at MNdi-
son Square Garden, New York, and
won by knocking the Ohioan down and
out in the sixth round Before the
fight and for some weeks past there
have been many reports to the effect
that Fitzsimmons was too old to cope
successfully with his younger oppo-
nent.
1t was argued that Fizsimmons'
knowledge of the game and his capa-
bility for hard hitting would not be
able to counterbaance the youth and
strength as we'll as the recently ac-
quired ring tactics of the Ohio mau.
All this has been changed, however,
Fitzsimmons did the trick clearly and
cleverly.

CANNOT LEAVE PEKIN
Mr. 0onger Absolutely Refuses to
Take the Risk
LARGE FORCE WOULD Be NECESSARY
10 Insure Safe Departure OF the 500
Foreigners, Including 200 Women and
Children Prom Pekin.

A Washington special says: The
department Of state made public Fri
day the following telegram from Min
lister Conger, which was received by
Minister WI late Thursday night,
being contained in a telegram sent to
him by the taotai Of Shanghai.
Secretary Of State, Washington
The tsung Ii yamen states to the diplo-
matte body that the various foreign
governments have repeatedly asked
through the respective Chinese minis
ters that we Immediately depart from
Pekin under suitable escort. The
yamen asks us to fix a date for our
departure and to make the necessary
arrangements to do so. Our reply is
that we will seek instructions from our
governments, and that in the absence
OF such instructions we cannot quit
our post.
81 must inform you that in order to
insure our safe departure, foreign
troops only can safely escort us, and
they must be sufficient force to safely
guard 500 foreigners, including wo-
men and children, as we'll as 8, 900 ma
tive Christians, who cannot be aban-
doned to certain massacre. We cannot
accept a Chinese escort under any cir
cumstances. All my colleagues are
dispatching the foregoing to their re-
spective governments. OF the Amer.
can marines, seven have been killed
and sixteen wounded, among the latter
Captain Myers and DR.. Lippett, who
are getting along nicely. CoNGER."
The message is undated, but it is
supposed to have been sent on or after
the 9th of August, when the imperial
edict removing the inhibition against
the ministers sending cipher kilograms
was received by the tsung Ii yOmen.
1t substantially accords with the dis
patch of the French minister, M.
Pichon to his government, which was
made public in Paris Thursday.
In the light of the message from
Minister Conger the attitude Of the
administration is that there is but one
thing to be done in the present cir
cumStances, namely to press on to the
relief of the besieged garrison at
Pekin. This was made known after
extended communications between
Washington and the president at Can
ton.
The Conger dispatch was accepted
as showing conclusive justification for
the imperatiye demand of the United
States sent to the Chinese government
on Wednesday night, insisting that
the imperial troops cooperate with
the international forces in the rescue
of tho ministers, and until this condi-
tion, as we'll that for the cessation OF
'bombardment, is fully conceded by
China, there is no other course open
'but to press steadily onward in the
mission OF relief
