few days off and pay visit to samb. Not
that the Sparrow was usually in the habit
OF paying samb anything particularly, but
because in this instance there was moth

So the long Journey across the sea was
made and one evening Just at sunset the

Notes From the Paris Exposition.
.The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany. or 40 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit
located IN Group KILL, Glass 10, ut the
Paris International, Exposition. where
they show to great advantage the eel
ebrated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used inteyery country on the globe,
both for family use and for lnanufac-
turing purposes. Tie writer was
highly pleased with this display and
observed with much satisfaction that
1t was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
j The Grand Prize was awarded by
the international Jury to Singer Sew
ing.Machlnes for superior excellence
in design. construction. efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
tion to every stitching process used
in either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action Of
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago,
where Singer Machines received fifty
four distinct awards. being more than
were received by I'll other kinds Of
sewing machines combined.
Should it be possible that ANY Of
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine. we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any of the Singer salesrooms, which
can be found In all cities and most
towns In the United States"

Some chIuese Impressions. s.

There Is no such thing In China as q
government, as we understand 1t.
There Is the outward form, but 1t Is
entirely devoid Of substance. There
are officials, but they lack power, and
even the imperious will Of the EN-
press Dowager cannot be impressed on
the people at large. The present dis
turbance, If 1t is at least popular
uprising, indicates the helplessness of
the central government to govern; or
If 1t is at most actually supported by
the authorities, then we see the curl
GUS spectacle OF q government carry
ing on a war against the civilized
world in concert, with the greater
part Of It's people and the whole of its
navy standing by apparently unmoved.
What other country but China can
present such On anomaly.-William

The Road @ak,oe.R Rene

The best road maker in Alaska, ac-
cording to an Alaskan guide of many
years experience, is the brown bear.
Not only are the banks of streams
trodden into good trails by these great
animals, but the swampy places are
CLOSED in every direction by paths
lending to the hills.
= The Alaska brown bear, says the
New Penny Magazine, is great shag-
shaggy animal, varying in length from
6 feet to u feet. .nd weighing 800
pounds or 1000 pounds. He has all
the courage and fierceness of his cou-
sin, the grizzly, and, having been SO
little hunted, is absolutely fearless of
man.
He makes very dangerous aLver-
sary. and it is never safe for hunter
to go alone to attack him.
Evidently the less supervision given
to this branch Of municipal labor the
better.
