When l hear these old songs sung
it seems as if all the old country meet
ing houses Joined in the chorus and
city church and sailors bethel and
western cabins until the whole CONT
nent lifts the doxology and the scep-
tiers Of eternity beat time in the music.
Away, then, with your s~tarveIing
tunes that chill the devotions of the
sanctuary and make the people sit si-
lent when Jesus is marching on to
victory. When generals come back
from victorious wars, do we not cheer
them and shout, "Huzza, huzza?" And
when Jesus passes along in the con-
quest of the earth, shall we not have
for him n loud, ringing cheer?
"All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of ALL"
But, my friends, If music on earth is
SO Sweet, what will it be in heaven9

Queer Money.

Europeans trading in China are re-
duced to great straits for money. Eng
lish gold will always pass; but is
scarce. In large trading undertakings,
bars of pure gold, weighing thirteen
ounces are recognized as official ex-
change. Gold leaf is used by bankers
for smaller amounts. Inland, where
gold of any kind is rarely seen, horse
shoe-shaped pieces of silver, weighing
five to fifty ounces, are used. Some
trading corporations have been forced
to, issue bank notes and tokens made Of
bamboo slips; but the m%istrustful
Chinaman is very chary of accepting
these, so their circulation is limited to
one town, sometimes to a single street.
In the new colony of Urganda, west
of the great African lakes, there was
practically no coinage but shells. AS
these are bulky, and therefore incon-
venient, Europeans have started a
new system. Needles and cloth are
now current everywhere. Three needles
will purchase one chicken, n needle
two eggs, whilst a COW cost fifty yards
of cotton cloth. Shells, however, or
tinue to do duty as small change, as
many as a hundred going to one
needle.

"Mumps!" echoed William Hazleton
when he called at his sisters. And
Rodney away? And the moving to be

So it happened on one Inspiring
spring morning, when the lake vas
blue and the sky bluer and the air
rosily golden, that a furniture van
pulled up before the Queen Anne cot
tage.
This house, driver!" called David
Gregory.
The a backed up to the sidewalk
just as a furniture van crawled lazily
from the opposite direction.
A slim young man came striding
along the sidewalk and paused IN the
sidewalk before the canary yellow cot
tage. He twirled his cane watching
the advancing wagon. 1t came creep
ing along after the manner of con-
veyances hired by the hour.
Hi, driver-here!" called Hazleton,
and pointed with his cane That other

in the same block. He turned, draw
ing a key from his pocket. He went
up the steps-and met David Gregory
coming down.
"Mr. Hazleton!" calculated Gregory.
Mr.. Gregory" exclaimed Hasleton.
May I ask what brings you here?"
demanded Gregory magnifcently.
From his point Of vantage on the
higher step he looked down on the in
truder.

MONKEYS OF MAURITIUS.
Keep Their Wise Human-Looking Heads

Nothing can be more beautiful b

Before you spreads an expanse of Eng

gay foliaged shrubs or beds of flowers,
and behind that again is the wooded
edge of the steep ravine, where the
mischievous "jackos" hide, who come
up at night to play havoc with the su-
gar canes on its opposite side. The only
day of the week on which they ven
tured up was Sunday afternoon, when
all the world was silent and sleepy. 1t
used to be my delight to watch from
an upper bedroom window the stealthy
appearance of the old sentinel mon
Keys who first peered cautiously up
and evidently reconnoitered the ground
thoroughly. After a few moments Of
careful scouting a sort of chirrup
would be heard, which seemed the
signal for the rest of the colony to
tumble unanimously up the bank.
Such games as then started among the
young ones, such antics and tumblings
and rompings! but all the time the SEN
tlnelS never relaxed their vigilance.
They spread like a Gordon round the
gambol1ng young ones and kept turn
ing their horribly wise human-look-
ing heads from side to side necessarily,
only picking and chewing a blade of I
grass now and then. The mothers
seemed to keep together, and doubtless
gossiped, but let my old and perfectly
harmless skye terrier toddle round the
corner of the veranda, and each female
would dart into the group of playing
monkeys, seize her property by the
nearest leg, toss it over her shoulder
and quicker than the eye could follow
would have disappeared down
the ravine. The sentinels had uttered
their warning cry directly, but they

was Frank Kline, who was under a
sentence of Is years for desertion and
treason. Kline was brought here q
few months ago in irons from Manila.
He had deserted his command and ac-
cepted a commission from the rebel
army. He was caught leading a
charge of the rebels. In the number
captured by the American troops at
the time Kline was taken were sew
eral American prisoners. Kline
claimed himself to be prisoner of
the Filipinos, but the Americans who
were with the party declared this to
be falsehood and denounced the
man as traitor and rebel. He was
tried by court-martial and sentenced
to serve Is years at Alcatrez.

EMPRESS MUST GO.
Powers Have Decided on Reti-e-
ment Of Present Chimes Rulers.
They Were the Ruling Authority Whsa the
Boxer Troubles Js~gan and Are Held
Responsible for Thsm-To Double
Chlna'a Cust omp.

Washington, Nov. 3.-It was stated
Friday in quarters well versed in Chi
nese affairs that outside of the ques-
tions of indemnity, punishments, etc..
now under negotiation at Pekin.
there are three vital. and far-reachiny
questions to be determined, viz: First,
the removal of the empress dowager,
personally and through the influence
of her advisers, from all participation
in the Chinese government; second,
the creation of an indemnity funt
by the increase of China's customs
revenue, either by the payment of the
duties in gold instead of deprecated
silver as at present. or else by doub-
ling the present silver duties from five
per cent. to ten per cent. ad valorem:
and, third, the establishment of Il
minister of foreign affairs, in place
of the old and cumbersome system of
the tsung Ii yamen.
The demand for the retirement Of
the empress dowager is said to result
from the conclusion now generally ac.
cepted that the imperial government.
of China was responsible-for the boxer
uprising. AS the empress dowager
was the ruling authority of the i'm
perial government during the upris-
ing, this responsibility is brought
home directly to her. There is under
stood to be no purpose, however. to
visit upon her any personal punish
ment or indignity, but merely to so
form the reconstructed government
as to exclude her from all participa.
ton in it. 1t is deemed advisable for
that reason that she should remain
permanently away from Pekin, and
that her advisers also should be kept
away from the seat of government
The plan of doubling China's customs
duties has arisen from the need Of
finding a ,source to pay the war indem.
