Mr. Yo How the Chinese Consul at San
Francisco estimates that 1t would take $50 coo
troops to subdue forcibly the single Chinese
province of Chilli His estimate does not seem
extravagant when remember that the popu-

population of fully thrty-six million. and there
others Of similar numerical greatness. To
send few regiments into such teeming regions

Chinese Names.

In China there is no fixed nomencla-
ture-even the country itself is without
a name-and this lack of distinct and
recognized appellations was frequent
source Of difficulty. or personal infor-
nation from natives there was none
obtainable on which any credence
could be placed. A Chinaman. unless
he be a porter coolie or boatman,
rarely travels or gets during his life
more than a few miles In any direction
from the place where he was born.
When trying to procure Information
concerning the immediate locality It
was no uncommon thing to have a ma
tive, and even sometimes men of local
position, say, "Oh. 1 have never been
30 far away as that" or, II have never
been across that hill, and so do not
know what is beyond. ."-Harper's

Another Edison Invention.

The manager Of the electrical expo
sition in Philadelphia asked Mr.. Edison
to send on Photographic cylinder set
ting forth some of his latest ideas of
electrical interest. Mr.. Edison COM
piled in his own way. The message
was as follows:

you a photographic cylinder for your

they might be interested in little story

CISCO In the year 1873 a man from
Massachusetts, came to California with
chronic liver complaint. He searched
all over the coast for a mineral spring
to cure the disease, and finally found
down In the San Joaquin valley spring
the waters of which almost instantly
cured him. He thereupon started a
sanitarium, and people all over the
world came and were quickly cured
Last year this man died, and so power
full had been the action of the waters
that they had TO take his liver out and
kill 1t with a club. Yours truly,

Sheen in Snain.

In Spain there are some ten million
of migratory sheep. which every year
travel as much as 200 miles from the
plains to the 'delectable mountains"
where the shepherds feed them till the
SHOWS descend. These sheep are known
as transhumantes, and their march.
resting places and behavior are regu-
lated by ancient and special laws and
tribunals dating from the fourteenth
century At certain times no one is
allowed to travel on the same route an
the sheep, which have right to Craze
on all open and common land on the
way, and for which road ninety
yards wide must be left on all inclosed
and private property. The shepherds
lead the docks, the sheep follow, and
the flocks are accompanied by mules
carrying provisions and large dogs
which act as guards against the
wolves. The Merino sheep travel 400
miles to the mountains, and the total
time spent on the migration there and
back is fourteen weeks.-Spectator.

AFortune for a Single Flower.

The purchasing power of money in
the seventeenth century Is shown by
an article In the Ladies' Home Journal,
on the tulip craze In Holland, which
reached It's height about 1854. AT a
sale of bulbs, about that date, a single
one of the Viceroy variety was pur-
chased by delivering to the seller two
hundred bushels of wheat, four hun
dred bushels of rye, four fat pigs, eight
fat oxen, twelve fat sheep, two hogs
heads of wine, two barrels of beer, five
hundred pounds of butter, one bed
stead with pillows, mattresses, blan-
kets, ETC., one thousand pounds of
cheese, one. suit Of clothes, and one sill
yer goblet The money value of the
bulb was one thousand dollars, but as
the purchaser did not have the cash
the seller was willing to accept Its
equivalent in the form just recited, not
withstanding that 1t was somewhat
bulky and diversified.

W. c. ENDICoTT. the Salem Common
Council. He held number of political
offices until 1873 when he was appoint
ed to the bench of the Supreme Court.
Nine years later Illness compelled him
to resign this position. In 1891, his
health being restored, he ran as the
Democratic candidate for Governor OF
Massachusetts. Inc following year he
accepted the position of Secretary OF
War In Cleveland's cabinet and was
considered one of the Presidents ablest
and strongest advisers. When his term
expired he retired to private life and
had since refused to be identified in any
way with politics.
William 9. Endicott was born In Sa
lem, Mass, Nov. 10, 1927 At the age
of 20 he graduated from Harvard and
began the practice of law. His ances-
tors were among the early settlers Of
Massachusetts and he was llneal de-
scendant of the first Governor, John
Endicott. In 1888 his daughter, Mary
c. Endicott, married the English states
man. Joseph Chamberlain, and this
union was n source of great pride to
Mr.. Endicott. He is also survived by
his wife and one son, William G. Endi-

The Oldest Letter.

Probably the oldest letter in the world
is the letter of the Panbesa, written
fifteen centuries before Christ, to his
friend Amenemapt, the scribe.
The manuscript is of perishable papy-

have survived for more than thirty cen
turtles and still be legible.

me, and, opening my eyes, l saw the
shrouded light of dark lantern in the
room, and by Its glimmer three men
were searching the contents Of the old
hair trunk that stood underneath the
window.
l started up with scream-probably
the most imprudent thing could have
done-but did not stop at that instant
of terror to measure the consequences.
"Stop that girls squeaching pipe"
muttered a low, threatening tone, and
the next instant an iron hand was upon
my throat, my eyelids seemed staring
from their sockets, and n horrible
death by suffocation seemed closing
around me.
In the self-same second, however, l
saw the deadly white face Of the man
I had so recently succored and fed, In
the doorway. l heard the click of q
pistol being cooked. My first impress
sion was that he belonged to the gang
that he had made an entrance into the
house through my weak pity, and af.
terward admitted his comrades, but ah
how unjustly I judged him.
"Let go that girls throat, or I'll send
brace of bullets through your brainI''
he shouted, and instantaneously l was
free. Nov, then, get out Of this! Drop
everything. Quick! Do you see this
pistol? 1t carries charges enough tC
send every one of you to kingdom come
quicker than lightning"
His eloquence was Of most persua-
sive nature. One Of the men dropped a
red leather pocketbook Of papers that
l recognized as Bob's; another let fall
a calico bag containing Aunt Jemima's
six silver teaspoons, and all three tum
bled out Of the door in hot haste. My
unknown friend calmly examined the
fastenings.
"The bolt has been pried away" said
| he, "but I can fix 1t in minute. And

tray of breakfast in to him, but he was
gone. From that time to this l have
never seen or heard Of him, except thai

But time hath brought no sign. dear.
That hearts grow cold.

But age enricheth true love
Like noble wine.
And lay thy cheek to mine, dear.
And take thy rest;
Mine arms around thee twine. dear.

A-many cares are pressing
On this dear head,
But sorrows hands in blessing
Are surely laid.
Oh! lean thy life on mine. dear.
