Chinese Honor to anAmerican.

The United States legation at Picking,
China, has sent to the Essex institute of
Massachusetts, an attested copy of the
imperial edict making a demigod of
Gen. Frederick Townsend Ward, of
Salem, who was killed in the service OF
China. Gen. Ward was the creator OF
the Chinese army, afterward commando
ed by Chinese" Gordon. The docu-
ment referred to is authenticated with
the seals of the Chinese and American
governments and is believed to be the
only copy in the original Chinese to
be found in this country, as the state
department at Washington has only an
English translation thereof.

BEATEN BY A REPORTER.
How q Newspaper Man Retaliated
for Insults from Cam
didate.

A good story, and one with a moral
is related by well-known southern
writer, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press.
mo great statesman with good hard
horse sense ever went out of his way to
offend a newspaper man." he says.
"Some years ago there was a very hot
campaign in Georgia for a big office.
in distant city lived candidate
who was confident of election. He was
proud and naughty, and thought only
of himself.
"A young newspaper man was de-
tailed by the managing editor to ac-
company the statesman and report his
speeches.
"Now comes the funny part of the
story. The statesman ignored his COM
panion-left him to take care of him
self-introduced him to nobody
treated him without any considera-
ton.
"Once when they we've riding In a
buggy through the country they
stopped at a spring. The statesman
cooled a bottle of wine in the spring
and drank it all. without offering the
journalist a drop.
Then he helped himself to q cigar
from his valise, and resumed his seat
in the buggy.
"'Drive on!' he said.
'"The newspaper man hated and de-
spised the coldblooded politician, but
he had his work to do.
HE reported the speeches and CAM
paign incidents, but in a quiet way he
knitted the statesman. The big man
read the reports, and was conscious
that something was lacking, but he
could not tell what.
''The newspaper man simply stuck to
facts and damned the candidate with
faint praise. He left out the element
of enthusiasm. He was dull, and de-
iberately so.
The candidate was defeated, and he
never knew how much the newspaper
man had to do with it.
''Of course he did not dream that his
own conduct had injured him. No
mean man ever makes the discovery
that he is mean"

PEACOCKS.
The Common variety Cheap Enough,
But White PeacOcks Are
Pretty Costly.

Peacocks of the familiar ordinary
variety are raised by the breeders of
fancy fowls of one sort or another, and
they are not very costly nor is there
much demand for them; pair of such
peacocks might cost from $12 to $50.
They might be sold for collections, or
for public parks, but not often for
private parks or grounds, where the
white peacock would be preferred.
White peacocks are rarer and more
costly than those of the ordinary kind,
ranging in price from 500 to 1925
pair Some of these birds are raised
in this country, but the greater num-
Der are imported from Europe. White
peacocks are like ordinary peacocks in
their general characteristics, but i'm
stead of having plumage of the familiar
blue and green and black, their plum
age is white. Sometimes the "eyes"
in the white peacock's tail are of
creamy tint, giving to the tail, when
spread, the effect of lace, from which
such birds are called white lace pea
cocks.
The demand for peacocks of any va
riety is small and no dealer in birds
and animals keeps them in stock, sup
plying them only on order.

THE "TRUE" NEGRO.
The Type from Guinea Is the Most
Distinctly Characterized of All
the Blacks.

Coming to the diversities of the stock
among the pure Africans, we may first
note the type which, in the rough judg-
ment of the public, is the real or Guinea
negro. That he is SO taken is doubt
less because he is the most distinctly
characterized of all black people, says
Prof. N. S. Shaler, in Popular Science
Monthly. The men of this well-known
group are generally burly fellows,
attaining at a relatively early age a
massive trunk and strong thighs; they
have thick necks and small though
variedly shaped heads. The bridge
of the nose is low, and the jaws pro-
truding. The face, though distinctly
of low type, very often has very
charming expression-one in which the
human look is blended with a remnant
of the ancient animal who had not yet
come to the careful stage of life. The
women of this group are well made,
but commonly less SO than the men.
In general form the two sexes of the
group are much alike, feature which
also indicates an essentially low sta
ton. These people of the Guinea type
form perhaps one-half of the southern
negroes

An Irish Horse Tanner,

1t is no easy matter to quell "the
fiery untamed steed." "The man who
can break in vicious horse is not
to be met with every day." observed a
horse breeder; land when a really
good man is found he may command
lot of money. I suppose that an
Irishman named Sullivan was one OF
the greatest of horse tanners. His
power was wonderful, and owners OF
vicious horses clamored for his serv-
ices. He always performed his work
in secret, causing himself and his
fractions charge to be shut up to-
gether for about half an hour. When
the signal was given the door was
opened, and the horse, covered with
perspiration and trembling violently,
was seen lying down, with the Irish.

A clothing merchant in lower Broadway
had big lot of clothes that he had bought
at bargain, and by putting price Of $40
on each he thought they would sell rapidly,
tor they were Of exceptionally good value
for that money. He put one of the suits on
form and get it in front of his store with
sign about its neck which one of his smart
clerks had painted on piece of cardboard.
This announced the price. Then he and his
clerks prepared to do a rushing business.
The hours passed and no one came in to buy

after Mrs. Jobson had served her

when he said he'd plan along with the
ones he held.
Mrs. Jobson hesitatingly put one

could make ON the bargain counters

was dollar, guess you'll be careful

the chain and laid it on the table be-

the bluffing idea upon which Mr.. job
son had eXpatiated so deliberately
seemed to possess a epculiar fascina-
ton for Mrs. Jobson, as it does for
most women who are initiated into
the mysteries of poker-perhaps be-
cause it looks to them like case of
getting something for nothing. At
any rate, Mrs. Jobson took the bluff

and without anything whatever in her
hand to back up her bluffs, SO that

which she tried to chisel him out of

had drawn four cards. you'll find
it just as WELL at first, to play for
what your hand is worth, and no
more. Bluffing's one of the fine, in
side points of the game, and it's only
done by old-timers who know how to
measure up their opponents, and to
whom the ordinary bluffless game of
poker is only baby-play. Just you play
for what your hands are worth, and
maybe your feminine luck'll pull you
through-although l am constrained
to renew my offer to cash every
match you possess at the expiration
of the stipulated time with brittle
new dollar of the realm"
1t happened to be Mrs. Jobson's deal
just then. She picked up her cards
and studied them quite closely for
long time, until Mr.. Jobson's impa-

AN OLD MANS DARLING.

The hair Is white that sweeps across
His deeply furrowed brow:
The head that once was proudly poised
Droops forward feebly now!
He swings no jaunty cane, but leans
Upon a heavy stick,
And, as 1 watch him come and go,
/ notice that the step is slow
Which once was light and quick.
Her hand is laid upon his arm,
And love lights up her face,
When he, with trembling gallantry,
Still helps her DER the place
Where small distractions chance to lie,
Assists her up the stair,
And, after fifty years have run
Their course, still looks on her as one
Who needs his aid and care.
A smile oft plays around her lips
When she accepts his aid,
For only loving, gentle hands
Has Time upon her laid:
Her eyes are bright, her step is light,
But he, with ancient pride,
Must guard her and assist her still
Must be her knight-as down the hill
He totters at her side.

 San Rafael (Cal.) Spec. San FraR- cisco Bulletin: John Bartini and Joe Lafranky, two Italian fishermen, came very near meeting their deaths the other morning off McNear's Point, iD San Pablo Bay. Bartini and Lafranky had their nets set for the purpose or catching founders, and when the tidd started to turn they proceeded to pull in, when they noticed that the nets were harder to handle than usual. They thought they had an unusual large catch of founders, but when they had fully 40 fathoms of net pulled into the boat a large sea lioD was noticed splashing the water at furious rate Bartini called to Lafranky to get an oar and hit him, but just as he had said the words the sea lion stuck his head out of the water and, seeing the boat and it's occupants, made lunge eapsizing the craft. Bartini. who IS a good swimmer, immediately jumped for his partner and, seizing him by the arm, dragged him to the boat and ffn- ally managed to get him on the bottom. When the boat capsized the anchor fell overheard and the craft WAS made fast The sea lion continued splashing the water at terrific rate. and the Ital. fans were badly frightened. They called for help, but their cries were ot no avail. as their voices could not be feard hundred yards. the wind blow ing a terrific gale. Finally, after they had been in the water for fully three hours, a schooner was sighted coming from the Patent brick yard, and the crew lowered a small boat and went to the rescue of the Italians, who were almost exhausted from fright and cold. After about an hour the boat was righted, the lion being killed with q shotgun from the schooner. 1t proved 70 be large one, weighing fully 1000 pounds. The lion was probably follow ing a shoal of herring up the bay and ran foul of the Italians net and suc- eeeded in getting tangled up in it.

HEAVY GUNS DESTROY EARS.
Why So Many Artinerymen saffor From
 Defective Hearing.

The stunning report of each gun as it is fired is something that stranger on the deck of a ship of war will long remer.ber. There is an old saying, sdeaf as post" Now in the English navy this is changed to "deaf as a post ca tain" No man can go through a log series of gunnery practices witfc.,t having his hearing seriously affeet.i Some men put cotton in their ears, but even this precaution does lit- tie to deaden the terrible shock. And if the firing of one or two guns has such a shattering power, what would be the effect if the whole armament were in action together? It Is im- possible to conceive the strain on nerve and senses of the rending concussion.
 If visitor watches the firing of one 0s the monster niRe-inch guns and then places h;meGf beside ene of the small CT pie 9es, the report made by the one will not appear much louder than that of tho other. The extra distance to the muzZle of the big pieces discounts the sound. The only apparent difference between the two appears to be that the small pieces have a sharper, high er-pityhed n7se, and that the six and nine-ineh guns speak with more of a believing roar One piece of advice may be given to any one who finds himself in the neighborhood of a gun in action.
