THE PRIDE OF CHINA
NHING, THE SEAT OF
GENT DYNAST TY......

One of the most interesting cities in
China is Marking, the ancient capital
of the empire before the time OF the
present Manchu dynasty. While Pc
kin in the pride of Manchu, Nanking
is the chief center of attraction for
the Chinese. The Cinnamon form
95 per cent of the teeming millions of
the empire, and are held down by only
100000 Manchus. Marking, for the
Chinaman, is the great Past. 1t en-
bodies the glorious traditions of Chi
nese supremacy over the Tartars. 1t
is also the Future. Around it hovers
Chinese hope for independence from
Manchu oppression. 1t is the literary
and commercial capital of the empire.
Marking is the Yangtse-Kiang Valley,
and the Yangtse-Kiang Valley is
China. Marking under different
names has been sacked and burned
over and over again, only to rise, like
the Phoenix, from its ashes, more ac-
tive and more beautiful.
The first Emperor of the Ming
CBright") dynasty, Buddhist priest,
and the son of a Chinese laboring
man, Choo Yuen Chang, chose Nan
king for the seat of his imperial court
(1S6S-'99 A. d.. He gave Marking the
honorific name of Ying-Keen. His sec
ond successor deserted Nanking for
Pekin. The Manchu rulers have fur
ther lowered the city to the official
name of Kiang- Ming, but the popular
fancy still calls the city Of Nanking or
the southern capital. A few years ago
Marking wrenched the imperial crown
once more from Pekin and held it for
twelve years. Hung Seu Tseuen,
convert to Professionalism, echoing the
popular cry for reform and seizing on
the universal longing for the return

self as sent by heaven to drive out the
Tartars and restore in his own person
the succession of China. OF the nine

Imperialists, led by Chinese Gordon,

king perished in the flames with his
households; his followers were scat

Noble Career
Ended.

Miss Charlotte Mulligan of Buffalo,
whose death is recorded, was in many
respects a remarkable woman. She
read character with almost unerring
certainty, and had a wonderful capa-
city for governing and controlling the
wayward ana unruly. 1t may truly be
said of her that her life work was car
ing for and helping the tramp and the
outlaw, for her educational work
among the tramps and homeless
wretches of Buffalo began when she
was IA, and had Sunday school class
of street boys. From year to year her
work grew, until she had had now for
many years an army of men who either
feared or loved her, with whom she
had dealt after her own system of re-
form. She planned out kind of home
(but it was her kind of home always) E,
in Buffalo, where she received every
desperate or homeless man that chose
to apply. She satisfied herself as to
his character and intentions, and then
did all she could to reform and help
him in finding work and breaking off
bad habits. A certain limit of time
was allowed him. and all possible as
sistance was offered. To the unfor-
tunate that time was extended, but not
for the lazy and vicious. For many
years she had a Sunday home little
out of the city, where she sent the pro-
bationers, with in1unctions to bathe,
and with permission to amuse them
selves the rest Of the day; the bathing
was absolutely required, the occupa-
tons for the rest OF the day We're op-
tional.
She was absolutely fearless, honest,
and kind, and her home was known far
and wide: the unfortunates fiocked to
her, the tramp listened to her instruc-
tions, and for at least so long as he was
under her influence, obeyed her. The
men she had helped were proud to
speak Of themselves as Miss Multi

Nanking has a population of 100000
inhabitants. 1t is q treaty port in
virtue of a treaty made with France in
1853, in which England participated

1t has also been one OF the best arse
nails of China, superintended by Eu-
ropeans, where cannons and warships
of the latest types are made. On the
hills near Nanking coal, plumbago,
iron ore and marble are found. The
city is surrounded by a wall ninety
six Ii (thirty-two miles) in circumfer-
ence. The section of the Marking city
wall on the inside is larger than the
great wall of China. 1t is about fifty
to 100 feet high, and about the same in
thickness (tho gateways being 200 to
300 feet thick), and about 100 feet
high. 1t is built of large bricks and
is kept in good repair. A second wall
existed, encircling the north, east and
south sides of the city proper, forming
the inner city, nominally inhabited by
the Manchu garrison only. The Chi
nese cities are supposed to lie four
square, but the walls show deliberate
curves and Irregularities exacted by

Then we climbed the great flank of
the island, over mossy curled bunch
grass, through the rubydotted rasp-
berry bushes. where the berries stood
like glowing healthy flesh in the after
noon sun, and up across strange dusty
beds OF rotting rock, to the lonely. top.
We walked into the absurdity of Il

the great diversified lantern room atop.

and picked tiny tough stem from

into her statement Of conviction
as into shafts, "if this We're Il pipsis-

thusiasm In her tones, and Il voice

resenting the discovery.

the last two steps, meant to clean his
shoes, not to announce his coming.

Sells OIL from n Push Cart.

A comparatively new shouter of the
streets of Washington is the man who
sells coal oil from a push cart. He
has six ten-gallon cans of the oil ar
ranged in sockets in the bottom of his
cart. 1t seems peculiar at first
thought that a man could make liv-
ing in such a gas-lighted town as
Washington by the sale of kerosene;
but there are parlor lamps to be filled,
and coal oil answers for deal of
scrubbing and cleaning. The oil
sellers have a peculiar cry, which is
not to be understood unless it is
taken in connection with a view OF
the cryer and his push cart full of
cans. 1t sounds like "ka-lile," with
q very strong accentation on the last
syllable, and 1t is repeated so rapidly
that it sounds like the rattle of mus
ketry.-Washington Star.

Eels mt "A Quilting Party.

The Rockland Me.) Opinion tells a
story of the way in which a quilting
party was recently broken up. The
ladies were plying their needles and
talking in the sitting-room of the house
where the quilting-bee was held. Mean
time the husband and son of the host
ess. who had been fishing for eels, re-
turned home.
The two men repaired to the kitchen
and dumped their heavy catch into the
sink. Then, leaving the ellis to thaw
out in hot water, they repaired to the
barn to attend to the cattle. Soon the
eels, which had appeared to be frozen
stiff and lifeless, began to feel the
effect of the warmth and to writhe and
twist in the full vigor of life. They
Topped out upon the floor and, SO to
speak, pervaded the room.
The sitting-room about this time had
become very warm, and some one
opened the door leading into the kit
cells, screamed, rose from her chair.
and shrieked
"There's snakew
In an instant the widest excitement
prevailed. A glance into the Kitchen
and there was cry: "Oh, the kitchen
Is full of snakes!"
The qullters rushed out into the hall
and up the stairs to the dresslng-room.
At this juncture the men came in
from the barn, and there was some
lively work before the cells were
slaughtered. The shock and the fright
which the ladies had received effectual-
ly broke up the quilting-party.

it is not meant that she was wholly so;
she had a healthy mind, interested in

people, with time to spend on them.

idea was one of the first club houses

steadily growing association, it was
