A woman, 1t is said-the empress
dowagsr-is the cause Of China's pres
ent troubles, and even as she may
bring about the downfall of the Mant-
who brought it into power. Included in
the spoils of Peking among the many
captives was a very beautiful slave girl
who had been presented to WI Sank
wei, then defending the Chinese from
tiers at Scandinavian. This girl was
given by LII to an officer in his army,
and WI Sankwei felt SO resentful that
he went over to the Mantchoos bag and
baggage. The latter had been trying
for years to get possession of Peking
and the Chinese government. Wu's Of
fer to combine against him former coun
trymen was therefore joyfully accept
ed, and Mantchoo troops were at once
dispatched to Shan-hai-kwan. At the
same time the usurperer Lii led a great
army against the place, and when be-
fore the walls he sent to inform Gener-
al WI that his aged father, whom he
held in custody would be promptly be-
headed if he still persisted in his rebel
lion. But. as WI loved the girl more
than he reyered his father, he refused
to treat with Ii, and so the old man
was decapitated in sight of both armies.
This is said to be the only notable in
stance of filial impiety, as the Chi
nese regard such an act, on record.
However, the battle went against Ii,
for just at a critical moment the Mant-
choos secreted in the hills swooped
down upon the cavalry and completed
the work that WI had begun. The two
armies combined drove LIS d%isorgani-
zed soldiers before them 200 miles, to
the walls of Peking, behind which the
usurper tarried only long enough to ex-
ecute Wu's relatives and set fire to
the imperial palace. General WI was
so intent upon killing his arch enemy
that he allowed the M%antchoos to take
possession of the capital, and when he
turned back it vas too late. They ''held
the fort" and they have continued to
hold it to the present day. Ii was fin

stated that the object ofpunishment

LANDING NET.

For the fresh water angler who uses
light tackel, a landing net is a necessity.
Although made in various styles, the
best combination Is the affair made with
the collapeible brass ring somewhat oval
In shape about IL by Is inches. If this
is fitted with a fine mesh minnow net
and a 40-inch jointed handle of bamboo.
It can be used as q landing net or a net
for catching live bait, In which latter
case the long 40-inch handle will he
ound,v very serviceable. When unjointed
at the ferrule and only half the handle
used It will be about right for q landing
net for use when fishing from a boat.
An affair of this kind will cost about 81;
ii made with a jointed ash handle it will
cost about half q dollar less, but the diff
ference in the weight is much in favor
OF the more extensive style. By un-
screwing the net from the staff n I'M
fastening n catch, the frame holds
fiat with then ct upo nit, and the whole
arrangement may be carried in a three
partioned cloth bag 20 inches long and
not greater in diameter than the case in
which ones rod Is carried. For chou a
half dollar extra a short gait hook, with
a screw shank, may be purchased which
will fit the socket of the landing net
staff. and one of them possesses a COM
bination Of a landing net for small fish
or a gait hook for the larger ones.

CARE OF A REEL.

Many fishermen, alter buying a reel,
seem to have an idea that by removing
the oil caps at the axle end, and by semi
occasionally squirting in a small portion
of oil, they are doing all that Is required
of them. A well-made reel is a rather
delicate piece of mechanism, n is en-
titled to be cared for as such. 1t should
the spool and pinions removed and
cleaned with a soft cloth, polished with
a bit of channels, its interior treated with
a few drops of oil and then replaced.
taking particular care that each screw
is returned to it's proper hole, for in
spite Of all the care which one may give
this portion of an equipment, it Is al
ways possible that some dust or dirt
may collect on the interior. It generally
does this by sitting in between the sides
Of the spool n the stationary reel
plates.

word had gone out that it was to be a

J. e. MAIDEN raised the inquire TO VIZ

by bidding SIS, 600. Mr.. Madden and Mr..
