THE CANDIDATES RETORT.
An EIectioneering Incident in Eng.
land When the Candidate
Was Ahead.

The duke of Leeds recently cele-
brated his thirty-ninth birthday at
Horribly castle, near Bedale, where he
generally lives with the duchess and
his four little daughters when he is
not on board the Corisande en- oying
his favorite recreation of yachting.
The prospect from Horribly castle is a
magnificent one, overlooking, as it
does, one of the most beautiful of the
Yorkshire dales. The park is of great
extent and the timber exceptionally
fine, the greatest care having been be-
slowed on every individual tree.
The present duke is a nephew of Lord
Sydney, Godolphin Osborne, the famous
correspondent (under his initials, S..
G. o. of the Times of a former genera
ton, and father of the young priest of
the Oratory, whose premature death
a year or two ago was so widely regret
ted. His grace himself has always
looked younger than his years and the
happy retort is not forgotten which
he once made on the hustings when a
parliamentary candidate to voter
who called out to the boyish-looking
speaker: "Does your mother know
you're out?" eyes, she does," prompt
ly rejoined Lord Carmarthen, as he was

CHINESE WOMEN SERVANTS.
They Are of Common Employment
Among the Japanese - Few
In America.

We are accustomed to think only of
Cinnamon as servants. because it is al
most unknown for a Chinese woman
to go out to service in this country. says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
This is not the case, however, in Japan,
some of the most efficient servants of
that country being from China. A mer-
chant from this country, who has been
doing business in Toxic for several
years, returned home recently, bring
ing with him two Chinese women as
nurses for his young children. He says
it is customary in Japan to place the
very young children in charge of Chi
nese nurses, and when they are older
to employ japanese women. The rea-
son given is because the Chinese wom-
en- are so faithful in the care of babies.
A Chinese nurse will hang her head
with shame if the baby cries. She
thinks it is all her fault. She hovers
over her charge with anxious care, and
makes a great fuss if it appears that
anyone is going to behave imprudently
with the child. The stalwart father of
the babies referred to used to go into
the nursery and toss the little ones
high in the air. But the nurse never
failed to demonstrate nervously: you
will kill them in their insides," she said.
The Chinese nurse expects to take en-
tire charge of the child, preparing
everything that it eats and washing it's
clothes. The nurse who came to this
country with the American babies
| brought pebbles all the way from
Japan with which she cleaned the in
| fant's bottle. Chinese servants are re-
garded in Japan as much more reliable
| than Japanese.

BIGGEST OF WATERSPOUTS.
Enormous Column That Was Seen by
Vessels Crew in Gulf of
Mexico.

A column of water go or 10 feet in
height that covered an area nearly
100 feet square was sight that Capt.
Liddle and the crew of the steamship
King Bleduyn, which arrived from
Mexico, off Campechc bank, saw on
the morning Of September Is.
Capt. Liddle, in describing the I'M
usual spectacle to a New York Times
reporter, said:
ct was about $50 in the morning
of the 10th, when we were in latitude
2314 and longitude 87.o7, while off the
northeast end of Campeche bank, in
the Gulf of Mexico, that we observed a
column of water whirling in the air
at height of apparently 60 or 10
feet and covering an area that ap-
peared to be about 100 feet square.
''The column, which looked like a
mass of steam, made beautiful
sight as it snot into the air. All
around it the water was foaming and
frothing like breakers IN shoal. AS
to what it was, [ don't lA1ow; it looked
like a volcanic eruption, though I
never heard of any volcanoes in that
region. It may have been due to an
upheaval caused by an eartnquake.''
Capt. Liddle said that the spectacle
was visible for half an hour, and that
as the King Bleddyn gradually sailed
out of sight Of it the water Gained
down and then suddenly rose again,
shooting a steaming column high into
the air.

CHINESE CIVIL SERVICE.
Positions in the Customs Service Are
Attractive and Are Ea-
gerly Sought.

There is no fixed limit to the length
Of time which Chinese customs as
sistant may spend at a port, says
Ell. c. Whittlesey, in Atlantic. The
average period is about three years.
The chances then are that a man in
a southern port will be ordered north,
Or that one on the Yangtse will be
sent south. Promotion to the next
higher grade often accompanies a
transfer, and there is also the change
of climate and the opportunity to see
and learn more of the land, it's Gus
toms and people. In the north the
foreigner has an excellent chance to
collect variety of curios consisting
of old coins, pieces of porcelain, an
tique bronzes, and choice bits of en-
broidery, while on the Yangtse and
in the south he can suit critical
taste in selecting silk piece goods, sill
yer and gold articles of native work
manship, and wood and ivory carvings.
At the end of seven years a member
of the indoor staff completes his first
period, as it is called, and is en-
titled to go home for a two years hol-
iday, and also to receive one years
full pay as a gratuity. Upon his 60
ing back to China for further service
the Gust oms pay One-half of the cost
of his return fare. He then serves
five years more, when he completes
his second peroid, and can again go
home on two years leave and re-
ceive second gratuity-and SO on for
as long as health and inclination may
permit The conditions of an en-
gagement in the customs are consid-
! cred usually attractive on account of
the generous salary, security of posi-
ton, and prospect of sure advance
ment. designations rarely occur, and
there are always more applicants
than there are vacancies.
