"Hats or, the Rule Abroad,

A railroad contractor who has just returned from abroad tells of an expert. ence that befell him in Munich illustra. tive of the difference in prevailing GUS. toms. Armed with a number of letters of introduction to European railroad officials, he made 1t point to inquire into the workings of the various sys- tems, and was treated with uniform courtesy.
 At Munich he thought he had ac- quired all the information he was after, and as he passed out of the office of the man with whom he had been talk ing he put on his hat. He had scarcely been ushered out when 1t occurred to him that there was one matter about which he had forgotten to inquire. q immediately retraced my steps," said the Philadelphian, land again entered the office, neglecting to remove my hat saw the same official with whom had been talking, and, apologlzng for taking up so much of his time. | put the question to him.

PRETTY IRISH GIRLS.

Why the Lasses of the Emerald Isle
 Are Beautiful.
 The Irish peasant girls have long been famous for their beautiful, clear skins and healthy complexions. They owe much of their lovelineSs to the moisture of the climate and the sim- plicity of their lives. Plain, wholesome fare and rainwater for the wash basin tell their own tale. No matter how homely are the features of the genuine peasant girl, her skin Is almost invaria- ply soft and firm, the arms nicely rounded, the eyes brilliant and express i've.
 There are no eyes finer than those of the healthy daughter of Erin's isle. Soft and tender one moment. to fash with passion if aroused; dark blue, gray or brown. the Irish eye is pecul- iarly lovely and possesses a luster all It's own. Long lashes shadow these be- witching orbs-lashes that curl upward to sweep the cheek when the face is betrayed into blushes.
 So muchs time is spent out of doors that the feet, usually bare. become en- larged. The ankle. however. is usually we'll shaped and neat, the instep high and the skin of baby fneness. The Irish girl of humble station Is proud of her rJshapely feet and believes that walking through the grass before sum- rise in summer enhances their beauty. which, of course, it does.
 No need to powder that fair sgin-it owes its peachy bloom to health. happi- ness and the freedom of outdoor life; no need to resort to the rouge pot-the roses are there hard and fast, natures own coloring.

 But as he grew. older his health fail ed and his fortune shrunk until he had nothing left He lived for a time in San Francisco. then in Colorado Springs, in Chicago and Boston. In this last named city he was instructor for large choral society. Finally. he became conductor for the Marie Bell Opera Go. But the season was not a success. and the company disbanded in Clarksville, Tenn. Lust was left with out money, broken in health and spirit. Attracted by his gentle patience. strangers who met him became his friends. They obtained pupils for him. and also contributed personally to his support.
 Among those he taught was the beau tiful Rosa Walker, whose picture ap- pears here. Often she used to send him flowers to brighten his lonely stu dio. or delicacies to tempt him when he was i'll. One day last fall, while play ing an accompaniment to her singing. he fell in a swoon. When he revived the girl was bending over him. The thought of her kindness overcame him.
 'Your name is ROsa," he said. "I shall write a song to you. It will be my last. When it is finished I shall go."
 When he reached his studio he began work on the composition and toiled all night, despite his weakness. At dawn he had completed My Rosary" and carried the manuscript to the girls home, where she sang 1t for him. Then he went back to his room to die.
 While he lay i'll the song travelled far. and was sung from one end of the country to the other. The young girl sent him flowers every day. and was with him when he died.

rAx COLLECTION IN CHINA.
Frauds Perpetrated Upon She Peopl.
 and Upon the Government.

Frauds Perpetrated Upon fne People
 and Upon the Government.
 The Chinese plenipotentiaries are ob 1 jecting, of couSse, to the amount of in. demnity demanded by the powers. and representing that it will cripple the re sources of China for years to come; but examination shows that the interest and sinking fund of the capital sum can be easily met with a very elemen- tary reform in the financial system of the empire An enormous saving can be made by doing away with the tribute rice system. At present two great rice growing provinces, Anhai and Kiangsu, are obliged to send up to Pekin annual ly something over 100000 tons of rice. This is supposed to be collected in kind from the farmers, but the officials real ly collect the tax in money, fixing the rate at which the farmers commute at about two and half times the market price. The required quantity of rice is then bought in the market by the off cials, and here the Government begins by losing three-fifths of the money actu- ally paid by the farmers. This rice is then shipped in junks by the Grand Canal, and in steamers by the sea route to Tien-tsin, and 30 per cent is allowed for waste and damage on the way.
 A further loss accrues to the Govern ment in that the crews of the junks al- ways take quantity of general cargo on their own account, on which they pay no duties, the junks being protected by the imperial flag. When it gets to Pekin the riee-what is left of it-is put in the imperial granaries and is freely pilfered by the officials, good rice being taken out and old grain, mud, and rub bisb of all kinds being substituted. The pensioners of the Government and the troops do not get this rice, as they are supposed to do; they get warrants for a certain quantity, which they are obliged to exchange at the rice shops. where they are given, perhaps, 30 per cent of the face value of the warrant. The in- genious can calculate what the Govern ment would save if 1t still collected the tax in money in these provinces, and then paid its pensioners and troops in money, allowing them to buy their rice in the open market. A much larger saw ing could be made if the present system or taxation and distribution of salt were aDoIlshed, and the salt were bought by the Government where it is cheapest ana sold at the present average price. AL present enormous "squeezes" are made by the officials out of salt as well rice. There will be another great econ omy to the Government when the likin IS merged in the duties collected by the imperial maritime customs, as will it IS hoped, be arranged.-Shanghai cor respondence London Standard.

legs, with flat shingle roof of barely enough pitch to shed rain. The floor is at least four feet from the ground, and the whole structure hardly big enough to reach well across. There are shelves all around, and the weath- erboarding up next the roof Is full of tiny auger holes. The door fits tight, and fastens with a lock. Around each of the four legs is commonly a tar bandage, applied six inches above the ground. This traps venturesome ants, spiders and their kidney, thus keeping the inside clear. The structure is whitewashed inside and out twice a year. In hot weather floor and shelves are washed every morning, and secured twice a week. Such a fixture should not cost over three or four dollars, even if one hires it built, and 1t Is certainly among the handiest things on can have about the house or yard.

Books of Great Price.

A rare collection of old books and au-
 tographs was offered for sale recently
 by London auction house. One of the
 most remarkable of the collection was all argument in favor of Henry VIII. s divorce from Catherine of Arragon, printed by Wynkyn de Worde, a pupil of Caxton. Only three other copies of this book are known to be in exist ence. The first Greek grammar printed in Latin, in 1497, was another of the euriosities of the collection. Tyndale's New Testament, dated 1852, with picture of Satan with a wooden leg. Cranmer's Bible, printed four years later at Rouen. and Cromwelrs act of 1852, putting down bear-baiting and wrestling on Sundays are equally of interest. Autographs of Pitt, Fox, Burke, Warren Hastings, Veltaire, and King Edward VII. were included London Daily Mail.

The GrumhIinr stnrt.

A noted divine has declared that a husbands grumbling and scoldine were often only his way of beginning a conversation, and he maintained that if a man were sulky the worse he was the more cheerful his wife should be. Certainly husband and wife should bear and forbear. he says, and the soft answer turneth away wrath more ef- fectlvely by the domestic hearth than elsewhere. Then business is often wor- rying. and the husband coming home needs and usually deserves to find there all soothing and calming influ- ences. But surely it should be mutual kindness. At times the man must take his turn in meeting irritahility or low spirits with eheerfulness and kind, gentle consideration.

A JugrIer,s Tent.

Paul Cinqueyalli, the king of jugglers, used to throw a fork some ten feet into the air, making it revolve all the time, and when it reached a certain spot, threw up a potato which just affixed itself to the prongs of the fork, while at the same time through tube he held in his mouth he blew a puff dart which stuck into the underside of the potato. As the three objects thus joined together fell he caught them on the edge of knife which he drew from belt at his side and bal anced them in that position. This took two years and eight months of incessant practice to learn, but it was finished so quickly that the audience was never able to appreciate it sufficiently, and it was consequently ineffective, so that after do- Ing 1t for about a fortnight Mir.
