'Pekin, April 2S.-Three engage

April "a at the great wall between the

three men killed and 80 wounded. The
French troops were not engaged"
General Ketteler's brigade, rein

Huehlenfels. Ledebur reached the

able to reestablish himself in business.
Senior Arguesos firm is one of the largest

the stringency of money. Bankers here

The Owl In Poetry.

Much unnatural history has been writ
ten of the owls, and unfortunately most
people have their ideas of them from the
poets. The owl is not moping. nor mourn
ing, nor melancholy. neither is he dolor-
Gus nor mournful. He is neither grave
monk, nor anchorite, nor rilarcd saint.
Poets write by day and owls fly by night,
and doubtless Mr.. Gray ana hiS school
have their opinion of owls from staring at
stuffed specimens in glass cases. or at the
birds of wisdom surprised in the full light
of day, when they will be seen blinking,
ogling, nodding and kissing at each other,
very unlike representatives. of Minerva.
Christopher North is the only author
who has done justice to the owls, or JUS
tice to the poets. for the matter Of that,
by his denunciation Of their epithets and
false images. He knew well that the
white owl never mopes. but holds its rev
els through the livelong night when all
else is hushed and still.-Cornhil Maya

He Knew What They Would Do.

Sir Charles Locock, who was the ply
stefan attending Queen Victoria ut GER
tain period of her reign, was once com
manded by her majesty to proceed to Ber-
lin and report on the condition of her
daughter, the crown princess. On the re-
turn trip, stopping at Dover for hasty
luncheon, he was enabled to snatch a
glass of poor sherry and piece of ques-
tionable pork pie.
After the train had pulled out and Sir
Charles had been locked in his compart-
ment he began to feel drowsy and to fear
that faintness was overtaking him. I'm
mediately he thought to himself:
They will find me in Il faint on the
floor and bleed me for fit and need all
my blood to digest this pork pie"
Thereupon he hurriedly drew out his
pencil, wrote on a piece of paper and
stuck it in the band of his hat. Then he
resigned himself to the deep sleep that
came upon him. He did not wake until
the train had pulled into the London sta
ton, and, still dazed by his slumber, he
jumped into carriage and was driven
home.
The grins of the servants and the ex-
clamation OF his wife were followed by
the inquiry from one of the children. "Oh.
papa. what have you got in your hat?"
Then he remembered his experience on
the train. Taking off his hat, he removed
the large white paper on which he had
scrubbed this petition to the general pub
lie:
Don't bleed me. It's only tit of indi-
gestion from eating some confounded
pork piel'-Youths Companion.

Old MaiIbox.

there is an old box the history of which
is given on label which it bears.
The box is of tin, painted green. and
shows signs of much usage, which is not
surprising when one considers that it car
ricd the United States mail between Ports
mouth and Boston during the Revolution.
1t is about 8 inches long, AZ inches wide
and little more than that in height.
1t was carried on horseback by Captain
John Noble, otherwise known as Deacon
Noble, who was post rider until 1888.
This box contained all the mail and made
every week one round trip, occupying
three days in the journey from Ports
mouth to Boston the first of the week and
three days at the end of the week from
Boston to Portsmouth. The distance be.
tween the two places is little more than
fifty miles.

Among the many things that Japan
borrowed from China was football. said
to have been introduced as early as the
middle of the seventh century. The I'm
peror Toba ii. was an expert player and
got up club at his palace. But as most
oriental races are averse to hard work
and active games, football must have
been played in a different manner from
that in which American boys play it.
Nevertheless the Japanese form seems to
have been popular, and we may trace the
beginnings of professional games to an
emperor and his court. of whom it is told
that in time of poverty they earned a
little extra money by teaching football

While crows feet YET have spared the face
And rhine OF time has lttt no trace
Upon the locks which still with grace
Above our brows have chung.
We find our pace is growing slow,
And as We view the passing show
There comes time when we must know
That we're no longer young
There comes time when children born
Long since our childhood's locks were shorn
The uotor's bays we missed have worn
TO praises freely sung,
And while these accamations flow
Truths whisper in the ear sounds low
That il is time for US to know
That we're no longer young;
That il is time to bear the pain
OF learning that we must remain
Heneeforth an exile from youths reign
In ages desert flung;
But e'er we stagger from this blow,
Which adds TO life another woe,
May fortune grant us sense to know
When we're no longer young!
