 Attempt.

London, Aug. IA special from Shanghai. dated August 13. says nu- merous reports from Pekin dated Au- gust have arrived there describing the situation at the Chinese capital It appears that the Chinese are again des- perately attacking the legations. which have very few defenders left. It is also alleged that Prince Tuan and 100 high officials have left Pekin and that news of the capture of Yang Tsun has caused a heavy exodus of residents. Finally, it is said. that Chleg Yuan Huan, the Cantonese who was the special ambas- sador of China to Queen Victoria's

ENGLAND WONDERS WHY.
She Cannot Officially Hear of the
 Advance.


 LOnGon. Aug. H. General Chaffee's $ message announcing his arrival on Au- gust at H0 Si Wu stands as the latest official intelligence of the march of the allied forc-s on Pellin. English papers say it is rather annoying that their naval and military officers cannot communicate with English officials here, while Admiral Remey and Gen eral Chaffee can dO so by the Shang- kai-Canton wire.
 Chinese r-ports are being distributed far and wide in the southern provinces of alleged Chinese successes in the north. Secret inquiries at Canton show that all the forts have baen newly armed with F centimeter disappear ing guns and that the garrisons num- Der 1S,0C0 men in all, armed with Mausers and Winchesters. The Chi rese have apparently been trying to engage foreign electrician to lay mines in the bogue or entrance to the Canton river.

NOTHING CHEAP IN PARIS.

To the newly arrived stranger, one franc, fifty centimines (30 cents) seems like enc dollar fifty cents, which is the price of a cab in New York. However. the American who imagines that things are cheap in Paris hug a delusion. Car riages are almost the only reasonable thing, and living, even when not judg- ing from exposition prices, is quite as dear as in America. Clothing is some what cheaper. but mems clothing is by no means up to our standard. French men dress very badly, and their boots are never as well polished as those of Americans. The well-dressed French man always goes to an English or American tailor. of which there are several here. If he is a man of wealth and leisure he runs over to London for his clothes. There is only one gar ment that a French tailor can make, and that is a dress coat. A Frenchman in evening. dress is usually stylish, but in business suit he is quite the re- verse. It is well enough for women to come to Paris for their gowns. Men can do much better in England and America. One can nearly always dis tinguish the American by the well ironed crease in his trousers. The French dude does not indulge in this fad. ANDRE FORGET.

MANY KINDS OF OLIVES.
They Are Imported in Casks Chiefly
from Spain and Bottled In
This Country.

Most of the olives eaten in this
country come from a territory of about
a hundred miles in diameter, around
the city of Seville, in Spain. They
are imported in casks of 100 gallons
each, the importations, varying with
the crop, ranging from 5000 to 5000
casks a year, and averaging about 1900
casks.
Olives T sorted in Spain, accord
ing to sizes, and each big cask is filled
with olives of approximately the same
size. There are 12 trade sizes. For
merly the several sizes were described
by names; now they are commonly
known in the trade by numerical des-
ignations, the names indicating the
number of olives to the kiIogramme.
Thus, 75's means olives that will count
from 10 to so to the ki1ogramme.
The olives are imported in brine.
Formerly many olives were imported
already put up in bottles, but almost
all the olives sold in this country are
now packed here. The work is done
chiefly by women and girls. There are
ingenious machines for pitting olives
that arc put up pitted, but no machine
has yet been invented for putting the
olives into the bottles with the SYM
metricai arrangement in which they
are now 30 commonly seen. This
work, the building of the wall around
the inside of the bottle, where it may
be seen through the glass, is all done
by hand, the tler placing each olive in
the bottle separately with tongs made
for the purpose, every olive and row
being arranged with care and pre-
cision, so that the effect of the whole.
Is attractive and pleasing. This is
slow work for beginners, but experts
come to fill Bottles very rapidly, and
perfectly as well, and with such deft-
ness of touch on the tongs as not to
bruise or MAI the olives in the hand
ling. The interior space is filled with
a specially prepared brine, to be then
,corked, capped and labeled, the bot
lies being then packed in cases.
Olives are put up in a great variety
of packages; a single packer in New
York uses bottles in a hundred differ
ent sizes and styles. Olives are put
up in better shape in this country than
anywhere else. The glass used in
making the American bottles is better,
to start with, and the bottles are more
perfect in form, the olives are
handsomely packed in the bottles, and
the bottles are better labeled; the
whole package, in fact, is better and
more slightly in appearance.
Olives + packed nowadays in this
country in other cities than New York.
but the chief importations come to
this port, and more olives are packed
here than at any other point. From
this city olives are distributed all over
the country, and carload lots of olives,
either in bulk OF IN glass, are not un-
common shipments.-N. Y. Sun.

The Bow on Mems hats.

Why do we have bows on the left
side of our hats? In olden times, when
men. were much in the open air and
hats couldn't be bought for half a
dollar, it was the habit to tie a cord
around the crown and let the end
fall on the left side, to be grasped
on the arising of a squan. They fell
on the left side so they might be
grasPed by the left hand, the right
usually being more usefully engaged.
Later on, the ends got to be tied in
a bow, and later stiil, they became
useless, yet the bow has remained, and
will probably remain till the next del,
uge, or something of that sort.

chicago and FLORIDA Limited.

G. w. Humphrey, Northwestern passen-
ger representative CT the Chicago & East
ern Illinois, yesterday received from gen
eral passenger headquarters information
which will be good news to the many
travellers from this section who spend
the winter in the South. 1t is the in
auguraton of what is to be called the
Chicago and Florida Limited, which goes
on~when the season opens the midGle of
January, and which will span the dis
tance from Chicago to st. Augustine
without change in thirty hours, and
which will give passengers the very best
service possible in the way of Pullman
coaches, drawing room, sleeping cars,
dining and observation library cars for
the entire distance.
Opposition from the trunk lines ter
rninating at Cincinnati has, in the past,
prevented this through service, but
through the, efforts of General Passen-
& Nashville, and General Passenger
ern illinois, all objections have been
overcome and the train arranged for.
st. Paul and Minneapolis people who go
South can this winter leave here at night
and reach the famous old winter resort
nearly day sooner than under the old
schedule, and travel as comfortably as
they please. The new limited will leave
Chicago daily at 1870 a. M, passes
through. Thomasville, Ca, where many
Twin City people spend the winter, short
ly after the noon hour, reaches Jackson
vile at $40, and st. Augustine at p.
m.
The new train will be inaugurated jan
uary 18th.
