The statement is made on the au-

consults that nearly all the hams i'm
ported into Brazil are of American
origin, but were first exported to Eng
land and there packed by English
dealers in accordance with Brazilian
requirements and reshipped across the
Atlantic to Brazil. This accounts for
the fact that Brazil imported from this

AN HISTORIC REGION.

In American life is now passing
through it's centennial celebrations.

Its borders are beginning to arrange
for suitable celebrations in honor of

of some 5000 inhabitants, will cele-

nificance in northern Ohio.
One hundred years ago the first
white child born in the Western Re
serve died of starvation. The first
church in the section was dedicated
by the breaking of a bottle Of whisky
over its steeple. Among the promi-
nent men born and raised in that part
of Ohio were James A. Garfield, Will
lam Mckinley, William Dean Howells,
Giddings, and Wade.
Hundreds of people each year visit
the old law offices of Giddings Sc
Wade, the famous statesmen Of anti
slavery times, located at Jefferson,
Ashtabula county. Their monuments
in the little Jefferson cemetery are
also point of interest. Scattered here
and there throughout the reserve are
the old underground railroad stations
which sheltered many a slave on his
way to liberty. The birthplace Of
Mckinley is located at Niles and the
home of James A. Garfield at Mentor.
William Dean Howells set type in a
printing Office at Jefferson which is
still standing, and the same paper is
issued weekly. Edith Thomas, the
poetess of nature, often went down
beside the brook at Geneva and wrote
poetry beneath the canopy of an UNI
brella as she watched the torrents OF
rain and the flashes Of lightning In
the woods near the lake. Platt r.

pills the system of penmanship which
has become famous since then.

the Wei Keaous come from the richer
classes Of society, and so the grand
master of the organization has a vast
sum at his disposal. About 1870"
says w. Boyle, "a certain Fang-Yung-
Chen ruled the Wei Kaou. With his
wife he formed a plot to blow up the
palace at PelIin. For months it was
incubating, and many thousands Of
persons, male and female, were en-
gagged, but no hint reached the gov
eminent until the conspirators were
actually entering the palace. A great
gust of wind suddenly extinguished
their lights and a few members, seized
with superstitious panic, cried out,
thus alarming the guard. Kia King,
the emperor, used the whole power of
his empire to crush the White Lotus.
Fan-Yung-Chen was captured. Nan

fell and thousands of the White Lotus
fell into the hands of the imperialists,
so many, in fact, that even a Chinese
viceroy would be merciful, and offered
to remit the death penalty of all who
would eat flesh. Some ate, but the So
ciety boasts that every one that did
so suffered death by slow torture af-
terward at the hands of their former
brethren" "The Wei Keaou's are gen.
uine mystics," says Mr.. Balfour. They
prefer death to breaking their vows of
abstinence, and the members assume
the rank and title of regularly APP
pointed officials bound by a code NJ
laws as rigidly enforced as that of any
recognized community"

F. H. Balfour, long a resident of
Shanghai, said: There is not the
slightest doubt that If one of their old
generals were to raise the standard of
rebellion he might have 100000 men
about him in the time 1t took to spread
the news from Nankin to Hankow."
Frederick Boyle says of this "Kolao
Hui" that 1t is a military conspiracy
whose agents travel about as doctors,

another, and seeking for new members

times since General Tseng- Kuo-Fan
organized it at the time of the siege of
Nankin. In 1871 it had planned to
blow up the powder magazine at HUI
kow, but letter describing the plan
reached the wrong person and many
important members of the Kolao Hui
lost their heads. Several times since
then foreign papers have told of its
doings, but the present Boxer disturb

by putting heavier burdens on those
outside the protective influence of the
powerful Chang tribe.
To some extent a Hui or secret so
ciety can protect its members from the
mandarin, and thus give to them bene-
fits such as the Chang clansmen enjoy.
Often it does this by blackmail. 1t con-
vinces the mandarin that so long as he
does as the Hui wishes the Hui will be
with him, otherwise it will be against
him: IL will create disturbances and
see that reports of these disturbances
reach the proper officials in Pekn. If
the Hui is powerful, the mandarin is
rather a manikin, to which strings at
tach, that parties with conflicting pur-
poses pull in opposite directions.
The Oldest secret Society.
The Triad is one of the oldest, per-
haps the very oldest, of the Hui. 1t has
various names, some call it T'ien-Ti-

Sam-Hap appears to be the designa-
ton. It's symbol is triangle.

Nearly Every Chinaman Belongs to Some
One of the Organizations.

1t would be hard to find Chinaman
that did not belong to one secret So
ciety at least. Often he belongs to
several Hui" and is active in them
ALL whether he lives within or without
the boundaries of the Flowery King
dom. These societies are of all sorts,
but the most influential of them have
at heart the expulsion of the Tartar
dynasty, to which the present Emper-
or belongs, and placing a Chinaman in
his place. From the Chinese view
point the Emperor is foreigner,
though his family has ruled for $50
years Such a period is only mo-
ment in Chinese chronology.
OF the societies so eager to be rid Of
Tartar rule some are of ancient orr
gin, as old as Masonry. In fact, sew
eral learned Masons who have studied
the Chinese societies have found start
ling similarities in organization, de-
grees, rites and methods of procedure.
DR.. Gustave Schlegel and William Stan
ton, earnest sinilogues, have written
of the THAN ri Hwui Parker, Pfoun-
des, Hue, Dyer Bell, Boyle, Arthur
Smyth and others have said much. The
China Review and the Shanghai Daily
Press, North China Daily News, China
Mail, China Gazette, Hong Kong Tele-
graph, etc, give many references to
the doings of these societies. AS a
writer in Blackwood's Magazine says,
China offers a congenial soil for the
growth of all sorts of illegal combna-
tions. This is due to the general NAL
administration of the country. Under
oppression and tyranny secret socie-
ties spring into life as weeds grow on
a rubbish heap; and so iniquitous and
cruel is the political system of China
that it is only by combinations that
the people can resist the most fragrant
wrongs the mandarins seek to i'm
pose upon them.
In some provinces where large fam
lily clans exist the members band them
selves together under the patriachal
head Of the tribe, and succeed in resist
ing the illegal and sometimes even the
legal eXactiOns Of the local authorities.
In Tu-khein, for example, the Chang
clan numbers something like 10000
persons and so we'll are they organized
that the Emperor's writs run among
them only by consent of the elders.
Such combination presents a diff

No Wonder.

A good story is told of a mailman
who was confined in Scottish lunatic
asylum, and whose particular infrmity
was an unnistakable belief that every
day was Christmas day and that he
was dining sumptuously on turkey and
roast beef and good slice of plum
pudding. His real diet, however, was
of the plainest, he being served twice
daily with dish of oatmeal porridge.
After daily describing to his attend
ants the pleasures he had tasted in his
cut of turkey or what not, he as regu-
larly added "yet, somehow or other
everything eat tastes of porridge."

Prize picked Up ut Sen.

One of the richest prizes ever picked
up at sea is now making her way
across the Atlantic to Gibraltar IN
charge of six seamen from the British
ship Senator. The vessel is the Nor
wegian iron ship Superb, with a rich
cargo of ore, which was picked up in
latitude SO north, longitude SO west,
totally abandoned, but in frst-class
condition, vessel and cargo being val
ued at fully 100000. The prize was
spoken on May "a in latitude 1904
north, longitude 2O.04 west, by Capt
Jones of the British steamship Chiver-
stone, which arrived at this port yes
terday from Carthagena. Despite the
fact that the Superb, which is full
rugged ship, was manned by only six
men, there were no requests for assist
ance made to Capt. Jones, who stated
that signals displayed showed that the
vessel was proceeding for Gibraltar.
When last seen he calculated she was
proceeding at the rate of about four
knots.-Philadelphia Record.

MYSTERIES OF The CHINESE SECRET SOCIETIES.

police and the hangers-on were ordered
to clear the street and TO keep all pas
sers-by and curious urchins back, while
the rival occupants of the residences
were ordered to stay within doors.
Then the constable put the box con-
tanning the hen at the point in the
roadway midway between the two
houses, and as the setting sun was
tinging the clouds in the west with its
last rays he removed the cover of the
box and retired on tiptoe. Biddy
jumped up on the side of the box,
shook her feathers, hoped into the
street, picked in the dust for a moment
and then, calmly marched into the yard
OF one of the claimants, proceeded to
fly up into a tree to go to roost. Call
ing the woman of that house to the
door, Franklin told her that he had de-
cided that the hen was hers, and, in
turning to the other, who had come out,
said: "And if you give me any more
trouble about that hen l will assess
you $3.50 for costs" All the neighbors
were well satisfied as to the justice of
the decision, and FTanklin's reputation
as a judge was much enhanced thereby
among the native population. He had
very shrewdly thought that If no one
else knew to whom the hen belonged
probably Biddy herself would be the
most certain witness in the case.
