Edward IiaDlan, ex-champlon oars
man of the world, related good story
Of how he delivered a speech after
winning his second race Ia England
His first victory had found him UMPIRE
pared. He was ready for his second
with a speech composed for him by =
newspaper friend neatly copied out on
paper and stored away for use In his
coat pocket.
When the crowd outside the club
house insisted upon seeing and hearing
the winner he was helped out upon a
window ledge by his friends and held
there by the coattalls and the legs
The crowd cheered him wildly He
was too confused to speak. They
rheered him again. He threw out his
hand in a gesture OF helplessness and
moved his lips In some inaudlble num-
BILE of apology for his inability to deliy-
er a speech. They could not hear on
account OF the noise that they were
themselves making, but they encourag
ed him with a generous applause. He
saw his escape and proceeded to shake
his head and work his lips In u fine
frenzy OF oratory, gesticulatlng elo-
quently aud smiling his thanks. The
noisy and good natured crowd cheered
him to the echo and his friends drew
him in from his precarious position on
the window ledge.
"You carried that crowd along In
style" they congratulated him. What
did you say We couldn't hear you"
yes. Give us an idea OF your speech"
the reporters put in. drawing out their
notebooks.
Hanlan took the manuscript from his
pocket Here's the whole thing" he
said. "Do yon want IT all ?"
Well rather" they answered. That
speech made a hit"-Argonaut

Two stories are attributed In The
Railway Magazine to the witty bishop
Of Oxford. He was once talking to
some boys In a school and said to them:
Nov my boys, dare say you think
it's very fine thing to be a bishop.
But assure you I'm a very busy man.
l have to go about all over my diocese.
and | haven't time to study like you
have. In fact, nearly all my study has
to be confined to only one book. 1t be-
gins with B. Do you know what II
isT THE Bible, sir; the Bible" shout
ed the boys all together NO" replied
the bishop. with merry twinkle In his
eye. ITS called Bradshaw"
The other story is still better. On
one occasion when he alighted from
the train at Wheatley the station for
Cuddesden palace, an offieious porter
rushed up to him and asked. Amy arti-
cles in the van, my lordr Articles"
said the bishop grlmly Yes, 80 arti-
cies." OF hurried the porter and wor.
ried the guard almost out of his senses
by the way he searched the van and
detained the train. Presently he came
back to the bishop with crestfallen
expression of countenance. There are
only seven. my lord" Only seveni

QUEER FANoIEs IN oueA


uaperstitions that Have Obtained \
Strong Hold ON the People.
A belief that has q strong hold on .
certain class Of people In Cuba is that
certain diseases can De cured by eat
ing dirt, aud so when one of these dis
eases manifests itself the believer does
not consult Il physician. but instead
gathers up handful.of dirt and eats It
II any relief is obtained 1t must be the
result Of faith cure, which the patient
is uneonsclously trying. Why all kinds
of germs are not taken In with the dirt
Is a mystery possibly they are.
The moonlight seems particularly OBJ
iectionabie and strangers are warned
not 10 20 out IN ii with uncovered head,
aud not 10 90 out in 1t at all II 1t can
be avoided; 1t Is thought that this light
brings many evil effects, and not under
any circumstances will a Cuban sleep
in lis rays-he thinks that, among other
things, it will draw his mouth to one
side Of his face.
To ward off sickness of various kinds
there are little silver or tin images to
wear suspended about the neck as a
kiEG Of charm. Images of the same
sind are offered in the churches as
thanksgiving or prayer and so we find
near the affairs of certain churches
cases in which are hundreds OF these
little trinkets. hands, feet, arms and
babies.
The hooting of an owl Is taken as a
very bad sign. The Superstltous Cuban
kills any creature Of this kind which
makes weird sounds near his home.
This a supposed TO break the spell, and
il is not then inevitable that a member
of the family shall meet death in the
near future. Butterflies also are looked
upon as omens.
The Cuban women are great believers
IN the efficacy of various herbs in sick
ness and have remedy for almost ev-
cry allment American physicians find
that they have much more knowledge
in this line than the women OF our
own country and more knowledge OF
sickness in general In many homes

ter and II anyone Is IN his tempera-
ture is taken before the physician ar

MONOPOLY IN CAMPHoR GUM.
Entire Trade of the World in the Hand
of Strong Syndicate.

Entire Trade of the World in the Hands
of a Strong Syndicate.
Within year the camphor trade of
the world has become monopoly. The
trees which yield this fragrant and use
full gum are to be found all over Asia
and the East Indies, but the principal
production from them is confined to the
island Of Formosa, which belongs to
Japan. China was never able to fur
nish more than 100000 pounds a year,
and Japan now produces about 100000.
But Formosa's annual output for sew
eral years past has been between 6.0O0.-
600 and 100000 pounds. Little Is to
be had at present from any other
source, and there is no prospect of any
change In the situation for q long time
to come.
In deciding to exercise control over
the production of camphor Japan has
been actuated by two motives. In the
first place she wants to obtain revenue
therefrom, as France does from the
match and cigar industries. But she
also seeks to avert the killing of the
goose which lays the golden eggs for
her. In other words. she has under
taken to protect the camphor forests,
which were In danger Of extinction. A
recent consular report from TamsuI de-
clares that no fewer than 1900 armed
guards are to be placed on duty on the
edge of the forests, in order to enforce
regulations which have recently been
adopted. The destruction of young
camphor trees and of shoots from old
stumps has been prohibited by law. The
gum is obtained by Telling the larger
trees, splitting them up and boiling the
wood. In the past II has been common
to cut down young trees for fuel, but
this practice is now to be stopped

A very large number of the Chinese
are Buddhisis. Buddha was born %

ship embraces a trinity known as the
Three Precious Ones, namely, Buddha,

Lord, and Lenga, the future aud the

code Of the religion contains ten COM
mandments against killing, sieaiinB,

The teachings of Buddha were re-
duced to writing 80 b. {. The entire
canon OF the faith was described In A.
D. 400. In this Buddha is described
as coming from heaven, being born OF
virgin. welcomed by angels, presented
In temple, baptized with water, and
later with fire. He is described as as
tonishing the doctors with his under
standing, and later led into a wilder
ness, where he was tempted by the
devil, and thereafter he went about
doing wonders and preaching. He was
a friend to the poor. WAS TRANSPORTED

1t seems doubtful when Buddhism
was introduced into China. 1t Is re-
corded, however, that In the year u
A. d. the Emperor Han Ming II had a
vision, wherein he saw great golden
image, around whose head was halo
and II was believed 1t meant Truth.
The Emperor's brother, Prince Tsu,
having heard of Buddhism from India,
said the vision seen was nothing but

which there are some 100 acting

The studies comprise a course Of In

ties, astrology and medicine.
Many Chinese are Confucians. These
follow the teachings of Confucius,

that no son shall live more extensively

publishers offers made to him to write
an account of the Mafekng siege. The
reception now being given to reprints
of his accounts Of the Matabele and

1t was Rider Haggard's birthday tho
other day, and be Is now only A. He
began his literary career eighteen years
ago with book on "Cetewayo and Hts
White Neighbors," and was famous
four years later as the author Of King
Solomon's Mines" II may well be
hoped that he will live to give us many
stories yet OF a South Africa In which
the political background shall be less
uncomfortable for English readers than
that Of some of his early tales. His
latest book, published last month, was
a collection of tales called BLACK Heart
and White Heart" Mr.. Haggard, who
was on Sir Theophllus Shepstone's stan,
helped with his own hand to hoist the
British flag at Pretoria In 1877, so 1t 10
little wonder that he has felt strongly
on this South African question.

Economy without PAY.

Goods In large packages like, for In
stance. tomatoes In gallon cans said
the canned goods man, ARE sometimes
Grated, this being done for the sake OF
economy, the crate costing less than q
box. But canned goods In larger pack
ages, of which the number of cans put
up Is enormous, are commonly shipped
In boxes. The reason for this Is very
simple.
1.-THE big cans are likely TO have only
a strip or a band label, the rest Of the
broad expanse of tin being left uncov-
cred. 1t isn't necessary to put this
package up in fancy style, for It is not
to be displayed anywhere. These goods
are sold to hotels and restaurants and
other large users. The steward or
other purchaser knows the goods per-
fectly by the label, which Is to him an
unmistakable brand; he wouldn't care
bit If the label was scratched or
married, as II might be by coming in
contact with something through the
open space In the crate. What he wants
is the goods.
ION the other hand. the small cans
are completely covered with hand
some label, which helps to make the
goods salable These cans are displayed
on the shelves and on counoers, and 1t 10
important, of course, that these should
be In perfect order MS to labels The
cans must not be dented in. One bad
looking can might mar whole display.
besides not selling so well Itself So
the small cans are shipped In boxes for
their protection, which is of more I'M
portance with these goods than the
saving that might be effected by GRAFT
ing them,"-Eew York Sun.
