His Wish Gained at Last.

After his speech on the colonial test case had been delivered in the Su- preme court the other day, and he had received the congratulations of many members of the bar and prominent Senators upon his success, Attorney General Griggs told me of his first visit to the Supreme court chamber. It was years ago, when he was young and struggling lawyer. He knew no one in Washington except the Congressman from his district. This Congressman took him to the Supreme court room, and as the slender young lawyer sat and looked at the nine black-robed Jus tices and realized that they constitut- ed the greatest tribunal on earth, he says he heaved a sigh and said to him. self: Before I die I want the honor of standing just once before that court and addressing it upon case of law" Little did the young lawyer then think that he was going to have the great privilege not only of addressing the court, but of speaking to it as the rep resentative of the United States gov ernment upon the most important ques- tion the court has considered in a gen. eration if not .n it's history.-Collier's Weekly

BEGGAR KINGS OF CHINA.
One Way in Which Certain Mongoli
 ans Become Rich.

ans Become Rich.
 If you want to grow rich in China become the head of guild of beggars, thieves, or lepers. Ranking, Pekin, and Tien-Tsin are the headquarters of the most powerful of these guilds, and their rulers are wealthy and respected. The king of clan of Chinese vaga- bonds of these classes derives his in- come from a tribute rendered him by his wetched subjects, and also levies a sort of blackmail on traders and mer- chants by undertaking to keep their shops, stores, and houses free from par ticular pests which he controls.
 From these two sources he realizes a large income, and is enabled to live in large house and keep up a great style in his mode of life. Each clan has a particular district of the city given over to it's operation, beyond which it's members are forbidden to stray.
 Horrible -mutilations are prac- ticed by the beggars of China in order that their deformities may excite com passion and lead to profit. On certain days the beggers go about in gangs from 50 to 150. On these occasions shopkeepers are only too glad to con- ply with the kings" demands for black mail, in order that his subjects may be kept out of their shops.
 A king of Chinese thieves knows everything that goes on in his district. He knows who committed certain thefts, and where the stolen property is. He, like his brothers of beggars, has a double source of income. A large percentage of the profits made by his subjects is claimed by him. If a foreigner is robbed he generally can, by paying the ''king" certain sum, re cover his property. Property stolen from Chinamen is never brought back.
 Every Chinese city has a leper-house outside it's gates, and most of them have two or more. AS in the cases of the beggars and thieves, there is an executive hand, called the "king of the lepers," who controls all lepers, and makes rules and compacts, which must be observed. These unfortunates are numerous throughout the empire. When in the first stage of the disease they are brought to the leper-houses. Good care is taken of them as long as their relatives can meet the demand of the king"
 But no matter how wealthy theil families may be, the king" eventually drains them of every penny, and both the leper and his relatives often have turn beggers.-Philadelphia Times.

Coat of n London Fog.

A London fog is an expensive visita- tion. A day of it, counting the day at eight hours, is estimated to cost any thing from f50,000 to 100000 in hard cash. No small proportion of this goes to the gas and electric light companies, which have to supply about a third more power than usual. But there are also the railways. Fog signaling is expensive. At Clapham Junction alone f50 has been spent by a single railway company during a days fog in extra pay to the plate layers. When the red light cannot be seen at a distance of q hundred yards, the plate layers become fog signalers. and for this they are paid a shilling q day in addition to their regular wages and fourpence per hour overtime, providing the overtime does not run into N second shilling.-London Chronicle.

GOOD COAL IN LUZ0N.
LARGE DEPOSITS FOUND IN THE
 ISLAND.
Gold and Iron Ore-Recent Discoveries Show Mineral Resources to Be Great Twelve Hundred Prospectors Now at Work in the Archipelago.

In its report on the mineral wealth sion says:
 According to the chief of the mining bureau there are now some 1,20O pros pectors and practical miners scattered through the different islands of the archipelago. Of these probably 90 per cent are Americans. They are pushing their way more into the inaccessible regions, furnishing their own protec- ton and doing prospecting of a sort and to an extent never before parallel ed in the history of the Philippine is- lands. The result is that our know ledge of the mineral resources of the group is rapidly increasing. When all due allowance is made for prospectors' congregations 1t is not too much to say that the work thus far done has demon started the existence of many valuable mineral fields. The provinces of Ben guest, Lepanto, and Bontoc in partic- ular from a district of great richness.
 "Lignites are known to exist in Lu- son, Batan, dhe island, not the province), Mindoro, Masbate, Negros, Cebu, Min danao, and other islands. Some of the deposits are very extensive. AS yet they have been worked at or near the surface. It is therefore remarkable that the samples thus far obtained should prove to be as good as is shown by actual analysis.
 Testimony is unanimous to the fact that the Philippine coals do not clinker nor do they soil the boiler tubes to any such extent as do Japanese and Aus tralian coals. Some of them have been given practical tests in steamers en- gagged in the coaling trade of the archi- pelago with very satisfactory results as regards their steam-making proper ties.
 "The extensive fields near Bulacacao, In Southern Mindoro, are within four to six miles of a harbor which gives safe anchorage throughout the year and which. has water deep enough for the largest ocean-going vessels. Some of the Cebu deposits are also convent ently situated with reference to harbOr facilities. It is to be confidently ex- pected that the coals will play a very Important part in the future develop ment of the archipelago.
 "The outlook as to gold mines grows more favorable as the operations of prospectors are extended. Modern gold-mining machinery has never been used in the Philippines. Igorroto min- CTS in the et-Lepanto-Bontoc dis trict discard all rock in which there is free gold. Prospeetors in this region claim to have located very extensive deposits of low grade, free milling ore, which will yield large and certain re- turns as soon as concessions can be se- :ured and machinery put in place.

 Only "brood fish''-that is, spawning females are tagged They are bought from fishermen, stripped of their eggs at Woods Holl, Mass, and liberated in the waters of Vineyard sound, af- ter having the tags attached to them. The tag is a small piece of copper, securely fastened by wire placed through a fin near its juncture with the body. It does not matter which fin is chosen, though a back or tail fin is best. The tag is very light, and its attachment in the matter describes does no harm whatever to the fish.

Where the Leak was.

Once, years ago, when Daniel Web ster was secretary of state, there was an important foreign matter up for dis cussion before the cabinet, and the ut most secrecy was of course maintain' ed, but the whole thing was blazoned about in a few hours after the cabinet meeting. So the president hastily sent for his cabinet to talk over this leak. Each man had a different idea of 1t.
 Finally MT. Webster arose, saying, "You, gentlemen, go on with your dis cussion, and I'll be back in minute" l" In a few minutes he returned and re- peated every word that had been spo- ken in the room in his absence. He explained that if, by standing close to the door outside the cabinet room, you held your ear to 1t, you could not dis tinguish one ineligible word; but if, moving back from the door and little to one side upon a certain spot in the carpet, you kept an attentive ear, ev- cry word could be plainly heard as though whispered.
 Some enterprising eavesdropper had been experimenting with the door and had found that upon that exact spot there was some acoustic property of the door or room that conveyed the sound in perfect entirety.-Saturday Evening Post.

Tagged Fish in the Ocean.

It seems rather an odd idea to fasten metal tags to marine fishes and then let then loose in the ocean with the idea of identifying them as individuals in case they happen to be caught at fu- ture time; but this is what the United Stete fish commission is doing just now with cod, 1,5OO of which have been duly tagged and released this year.
 No two tags are alike, the markings on them being stamped in a series of letters and numbers, record of which Is kept in a book in such a manner that if a tagged codfish turns up, moments reference to the memoranda will furnish the history of that par tieular specimen, with date of libera- ton, weight and so forth.

PoIson Proof PeonIc,

There are entire communities of poi son proof people who partakc of doses of white arsenic with as much zest as the average person partakes of a meal.
 Chief among these singularly gifted people are the Styrian and COrinthian shepherds who inhabit the districts of Lamprecht, Salzburg, Hartberg, Leo ben, Oberzeirung and the Erzgebirge mountains. The sturdy mountaineers consider that arsenic improves their wind for chamois climbing.
 Some years ago pr. Knapp put two of these men through their paces be- fore the German Society of Physicians assembled at Gratz. The one ate six grains of white arsenic, or enough to kill three men, without experiencing the slightest inconvenience. The other partook Of four grains of yellow arse nic, or orpiment, with equal impunity. It was explained that, seeing the good effect of the drug upon the coats and condition of their f1ocks, many of these shepherds start the practice under the impression that taken in moderation it Is good for human beings also.
 Usually started with a small weekly dose spread upon bread and butter the embryo arsenic eater has to undergo a very severe test of his devotion to the drug. Violent sickness and burning pains accompany its first use, and the drug speedily asserts its fatal power over its deYotee.
 Any attempt to leave off tine drug is generally fatal. The women of these arsenic eating districts are famous for their beautiful complexions and luxuri. ant tresSes.

How Blaine Remembered Henderson.
 It was before General Henderson had been elected to congress, and Blaine was speaker of the house. Henderson was in Washington, and naturally Blaine was one of the statesmen that he much desired to meet, and the op- portunity came of a morning just as the speaker was passing through the lobby on his way to the marble ros- trum. The formal greetings were ex- changed in brief moment, and Gener- al Henderson was left to see the swing ing doors close on the form of the Re publican leader.
 Six years later General Henderson again came to Washington, this time to get Iowa divided into two judicial dis tricts. He put up at Wormley's, where Blaine also lived, it being in those days q fashionable and 1ourishing hostelry. A week or so after his arrival from Iowa. as General Henderson was en- tering the d;Ring room, he met Blaine after having passed and repassed him many times. The Maine man grasped him cordially by the hand. called him by name and inquired about Iowa.
 'I had heard of Senator Blaine's wonderful faculty for remembering names," says General Henderson. When I had seated myself at the table, beckoued to the head waiter.
 "'Hasn't NIT Blaine asked you my name? I said to him. Now think hard and be sure of your answer
 "'Yes. sah.' replied the waiter. He done called me ovah las night an asked yo' name an all about yo'. 1 told him yo' was Mistah Henderson "- Washington Post.
