National Pride.

1t is now almost two full centuries
since England and Scotland were
united, in 1907 under the name OF
Great Britain. Yet up to the present
time the world continues to employ
the familiar terms English queen, Eng
lish army, and so on, with no mention
of Scotland. This slight has often been
commented upon by Scotchmen, but
never perhaps more happily than at
Trafalgar. Two Scotchmen, mess
mates and bosom cronies, from the
same little clachan, happened to be
stationed near each other, when the
now celebrated signal was given from
the admirals ship: England expects
every man to do his duty. mo a
word O. puir auld Scotland on this oc-
casion!" dolefully remarked Geordie
to Jock. Jock cooked his eye a mo-
ment, turning to his companion, Man,
Geordie," said he, Scotland kens weel
eneuch that nae BARN O. hers needs to
be tellt to do his duty-that's just a
aint to the Englishers."

A business house of Aberdeen, Scot
land, recently engaged as office boy a
raw country youth. 1t was part of
his duties to attend to the telephone
in his masters absence. When first
called upon to answer the bell in re-
ply to the usual query. Are you
there?" he nodded assent. Again the
question came, and still again. and
each time the boy gave an answering
nod. When the question came for the
fourth time, however, the boy losing
his temper, roared through the tele-
phone; Man, a ye bin? I've been

LIKE BANoUo'S GHOST.
Question of Conductors and Pennies to
the Fore Again.

1t was In a suburban trolley last
Sunday that the question Of the con-
ductor's reluctance to receive pennies
In change came up again, says the New
York Herald. This penny question is
like Banquo's ghost and will not down.
A woman passenger had given the con-
ductor nickel and five pennies for
two fares. Il would rather change So

MES" the conductor said, in
grumbling yet perfectly respe 2tful tone.
"Why?" asked the woman. Because
the company will not take them from
us. That is the only objection 1 have
to railroading. We must turn in nick
els or silver when our work is DONE"
But why do you not sometimes give
those pennies to men? You always
palm them off on women" "Well, the
women always seem to keep them
specially for us. Now, If the public
could only know what trial they are
to us sometimes they might understand
our reluctance to take them. For in
stance, one of the extras, man who
had been out of work for long time,
after making the number of trips re-
quired of him, found he had fifteen
pennies among his change. He did not
have cent belonging to himself, and
there was no money at home, and the

New York's Highest Point.

Perhaps the highest point in the bor<
ough of Manhattan is at Ninety-sixth
street and Madison avenue. This is
where the New York Central Railroad
tunnel begins, and from this elevation
a fine view is obtained of Harlem to
the north and the East river and Long
island to the east. One can look over
the roofs of the five-story houseD of
Harlem clear to Washington Heights
and distinguish many points in the
borough of the Bronx
From here there is sharp decline
to the East river, and the tall chimney
at the foot of East Ninety-fifth street
does not look so very cigh from this
altitude. 1t is altogether a sight we'll
worth seeing.

They Arc Not Rumbling or Rapid. but
Plangent and suvery.
Niagara has many voices, and some
Of them are thus described by Mrs.
van Rensselaer, in the Century: "And
the noise OF Niagara? Alarming
things have been said about 1t, but
they are not true. 1t is great and
mighty noise, but 1t is not, as Henne-
pin thought, an outrageous noise It
Is not roar. 1t does not drown the
voice or stun the ears. Even at the
actual foot of the falls 1t Is not op-
pressive. 1t is much less rough than
the sound of heavy surf-steadier
more homogeneous, less metallic, very
deep and strong, yet mellow and soft;
soft, mean, in its quality AS to the
noise Of the rapids, there is none more
musical. 1t is neither rumbling nor
sharp. 1t is clear, plangent silvery.
1t is so like the voice of steep brook
much magnified, but not made coarser
or more harsh-that, after we have
known it, each liquid call from a for
est hillside will seem, like the odor Of
grapevine, greeting from Niagara. 1t
is an inspiriting, an exhilarating
sound, like freshness, GOODNESS, vitality
itself made audible And yet 1t is a
lulling sound. When we have looked
out upon the American rapids for
many days, it Is hard to remember con-
tented life amid motionless surround
ings; and so, when we have slept be-
side them for many nights it is hard
to think of happy sleep in an empty
silence. Still another kind Of music Is
audible at Niagara. 1t must be list
ened for on quiet nights, but then it
will be heard. 1t is like the voice of an
orchestra so very far away that its
notes are attenuated to an incredible
delicacy and are intermittently per-
ceived, as though waited upon varia-
BILE zephyrs. 1t is the most subtitle, the
most mysterious music in the world.
What is its origin? Why should we
ask? Such fairy-like sounds ought not
to be explained Their appeal is to the
imagination only. They are so faint,
SO far away, that they almost escape
the ear, as the lunar bow and the fiuted
tints of the American falls almost
escape the eye. And yet we need not
fear to lose them, for they are as real
as the deep bass Of the cataracts."

CHINA'S SECRET SOCIETIES.

Paris Journals.

The Boxers Described by Some Of the
Paris Journals.
Many contradictory explanations of
the Boxers uprising have already been
given. The following extracts, translated
at random from Lie Journal, LIE Matin
and other Paris newspapers which have
interviewed some celestial functionaries,
throw additional light upon the Chinese
insurgents. LIE Journal says:
Who knows those immense lands peo-
pied by AOOOOO,OOO inhabitants? Those
who speak about them with the greatest
authority have spent weeks, months,
years, perhaps, in two or three inland
cities, living like Europeans in European
quarters, seeing about China only re-
stricted conditions and talking even
through interpreters with the personages
compelled by their functions to deal with
foreigners. And the Chinese themselves,
what do they know about China? 1t is
too large. The people in the southwest
live in the most absolute ignorance in
regard to what is going on in the center
of the northeast. 1t is so much SO that
within nine tenths of the empire was
heard only in a vague manner news of
the latest China Japanese war, and not
for single day was doubted the victory
of the imperial arms, and finally the PEG
pie highly praised the son of heaven for
having at last consented. in his mapnani
nifty, to grant peace to the little Japa
nese" and to send them back to their dis
tant isles.
In fact there are none but missionaries
who know anything about China, anG
even they study it from very specia
point of veiw. For long while
Europe has perceived that the imperia
power is very lmperfectly exercised Owe
the provinces, and that every governor
or viceroy, enjoys an almost absolute au
thority. provided he fultills certain obi
, cations toward the central government
that viceroy himself has lieutenants, lef
free to act as they please, provided the,
pay the fixed amount of revenues to tn,
viceroy. The authority being thus sub
divided multiples tyranny and the causes
, of discomfort and suffering for the people
who are taxed at will.
Those who suffer have conceived tn,
idea to unite themselves, and as over,
grouping became suspected and was Zero
