FROM BECKY BISHOP.
Denies That She Was the Inmate of
an Infected House.

Editor Advertiser: kindly permit
me to insert correction to a report
in your paper of this morning. 1t
states that Becky Bishop, woman
that recovered from an attack of chol-
era in 1895, was living in the same
house with the Hawaiian-Chinese girl
that died of plague on the 10Th inst.
Now, don't consider it pleasant, nor
do l think anyone else would, to have
any such report published about one
when it is not so. While am person
ally acquainted with the poor, unfortu-
nate girl, have never lived in the
same house with her, nor have / beer
within her house for the last severa
days past, and I wish the good report
ers of papers would be kind enough t
investigate such matters as this before
publication.
Respectfully,
REBECCA PANEE.

They Wear on.

The ancient lady clerk, whose term
of departmental service began, not
with the era of the Hyksos Kings Of
Egypt, but with the beginning of the
regime of the lamented General Spin
ner, had just stopped behind her desk
screen the other afternoon to dab her
nose with a chamois-skin powder rag
preparatory to ne-minute-to-4-de-
parture-when the new male stenog-
rapher, who was audibly checking off
an account for one of the auditors,
sang out:
'Flour-two hundred weight"
Insulting creature!" muttered the
ancient lady clerk, hastily restoring
the powder rag to its receptacle, and
then all of the subdued ancient male
clerks in the room staggered in a way
that was real rude, to say the least

From "Innermost ASIA" Ralph p.
Cobbold: l was enveloped in a mass
of warm clothing in order to exclude
the bitter cold; besides my body cloth
ing, l wore two large sheepskin coats
and three pairs of sheepskin gloves,
with the result that was quite help
less and incapable of mounting, even
with assistance. l was accordingly
lifted on to the yak, and just succeed
ed in clinging to the front of the sad
die, while Kirghiz led the adimal by
. ropa
The going was frightful the road
was a mixture of large powders and
deep holes, but the yak was wonder
full equilibrist, and pulled and blew
hard as, with his nose to the ground,
he toiled steadily upward over a fro
zen watercourse without ever making
a mistake. The men slipped about In
all directions, but the yak's cloven feet
gave him SO firm foothold that he
never even stumbled. ! chung on for
dear life, digging my heels into the
beasts hairy sides as he careered in
the dark over rocks and ice, plentifully
cut I'D by crevasses. and wondering
whether, when he fell. l should have
the luck to lie on the top.
