Old Remshen was boxed up and
couldn't say another word. He went
away and issued his proclamation ana
then bescecled the grave of his father,
the bones of his mother and his lucky
stars to send a dark night to knock the
experiment on the head. He was look
ing bilious when night am II the
old York state cheese arose in all her
glory. Everybody in town was out,
and the odds were five to n that the
akound would win. At the hour named
he appeared on the steps of his palace
and lifted his hands and cried out for
the moon to take a drop. 1t was a
dead failure. He cried out again and
again, but the moon continued her gait.
"Remshen,' said the boss Of earth
when he realized that he was knocked
out, dismiss the populace and come
with me-"
The populace went away with their
tongues in their cheeks, and when the
akound had reached his library he
said:
"How is this, Remshen? Why didn't
the moon come DOWN."

Mr.. WU AS AN ART CRITIc.-Wu-
Ting-Fang. the Chinese minister. was
exploring the Corcoran art gallery one
day last spring, evidently with the idea
Of impressing on his mind the funda-
mental difference between the Oriental
and occidental brands of art.
Hubert Vos, the noted Dutch painter,
happened to have on exhibition in the
Hemicycle a number Of portraits Of
representative types Of various races.
Mr.. Vos had strayed far afield in COL
lecting his gems, and the display in
cluded the presentments of Thibetan
Iamas, Indian rajahs, Arabian chiefs,
Japanese mobiles, and Chinese manda-
rims. Among the latter were the por-
traits of Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang.
The artist, with the diplomat in tow,
paused before these canvases.
Who Is that?" asked Mr.. WI,
pointing toward the picture of Ching.
That is Prince Ching" replied Vos.
1T don't look like him." was his
only comment. and the party passed
on to Earl Ii.
Who is that?"
THAT is Ii Hung Chang"
1T don't look like him." said the
minister again.
But it's only a three-quarters view,
you know" said the artist, APOLOGIZE

1t Was Introduced In the Senate
Last Monday.

1t Was Introduced In the Senate
| Last Monday.
Senator Frye on Monday introduced
the new subsidy bill. It differs in form
from the subsidy bill Of the past two
sessions. 1t is divided into four titles
and fifteen sections.
The section under the title ocean
Steamships" are devoted to amend
ments to the Ocean Mail act, 1891. The
postmaster general is required to con-
slider the national defence and the mar
itime interests Of the United States, as
well as postal interests, in providing
for the transportation of American
mails.
| The present limit Of mail contracts
ten years-is increased to fifteen years.
The Frye bill provides seven distinct
classes with a rate Of $6 to 20 knot
steamers, increasing from 5000 to TO-
900 tons the minimum size; SO for 16-
knot steamers; provided the tonnage
is increased from 5000 tons, the pres
ent minimum, to 5000 tons. The pro-
posed maximums per gross ton per 100
nautical miles are:
| Over 10000 tons. 20 knots, 2.7 cents;
10 knots, 2.5 cents.
Over 5000 tons, IS knots, 2.3 cents;
II knots. 81 cents; 16 knots. 1.9 cents:
Is knots, IL cents.
Over 1000 TONS IA knots. l.5 cents.
Rates for mail steamers to the West
Indies. Central America and Mexico
cannot exceed 10 per cent. Of the max
imum rates..
The second title, General Subsidy"
contains the general subsidy for all
vessels, steam or sail, which are not
under mail contracts. This general
subsidy is uniform, cent. per gross ton
per 100 nautical miles for not exceed
ing 16 entries in one year.
To promote the building of new ocean
vessels an additional allowance Of ! of
cent per gross ton Is made for five
years.
Any vessel to receive the general SUBJ
sidy must carry mails. If required, and
must train in seamanshiD or engineer
ing one American youth for each 1000
tons, the vessel to be at the service Of
the government If required for defence.
Any vessel to receive subsidy must
be Glass Al and least one-fourth Of the
crew must be Americans.
The bill provides an annual bounty Of
81 a ton for deep sea fishing vessels and
81 month for American citizens when
engaged in deep sea fisheries; that a
vessel shall receive only one form Of
subsidy and that vessel which has re-
ceived subsidy shall not be sold to
foreigner except by consent Of the Sec
not provide American registry for for
eign ships owned by Americans.

when he arrives in Moscow. The gate
was built by Vorota, an architect from
Milan, in 1471, of common brick, but is
Of beautiful design, pierced with many
windows and capped by slender spires
covered with copper and painted green
The icon, which is the true palladium
Of the Russian empire, contains a pic
ture Of the Savior, which has been car
ried in every Russian war for a thou
sand years, and its presence in battle
Is equivalent to a victory.
In passing through the Gate Of the
Redemption every person must remove
his hat, whether he be Christian or pa:
gan. Jew or Gentle. Men have been
beaten to death for neglecting this act
Of reverence. If you are stranger
your drocky driver will turn in his seat
and motion to you; If you are on foot
some one will be sure to remind you or
the bystanders will cry "schlapa,"
"Schlapa." "Schlapa," which means
the hat, the hat, the hat. and If the
head is not Immediately uncovered the
offender may be thankful If only his
hat Is trampled upon and he himself
escapes.
Criminals were sometimes brought
there to pray before the gate previous
to their execution, and were compell-
ed to pay large price for the privilege.
The Tartars tried to remove the picture
several hundred years ago. but every
ladder they raised broke in the middle.
Napoleon's soldiers tried to take 1t
down, but were unable to do so, and
when, in their evaporation. they train
ed a cannon upon it, the gun exploded
and killed them all.
Beside the gate Is shrine at which
an average of $4,000 persons pray daily,
and from 10000 to $4,000 candles are
sold. The profits from the candles pay
the expenses Of the household of the
archbishop Of Moscow. But the priests
are very unfair to the worshippers, who
light their candles and place them in
sockets in a large tin tray before the
icon, kneel, bow their heads to the
ground several times, cross themselves
and then go away. AS soon as their
backs are turned the attending priests
blow out the flames and throw the can
dies into a box as old tallow to be
melted over and sold again.-W. E. Cur
tbs, in Chicago Record-Herald.

DEADLY FILIPINO VINO.

The Nerve-CorrodinR Liquor That
Have you noticed in the reports Of
the casualties Of our soldiers in the
Philippines the comparatively large
number Of insanity cases?" asked one
Of the soldiers who reached home re-
Gently on the transport Buford. "Of
course the total number Of cases is
small.
1T isn't generally known that the
majority Of insanity cases among our
soldiers are the direct result Of drink
ing vino, native drink more poison
GUS than rank alcohol. The exact COM
position Of the liquor don't know, but
is such that one or two drinks Of the
stuff render men unconscious for hours
at time.
"Vino drinking Is the greatest vice
Of the Filipinos. The liquor stirs into
activity all the latent evil inclinations
Of the lower class Of Filipinos and all
sorts Of crimes are committed by them
under its influence.
1.-THE white man, at least the Ameri-
can, who let's himself get into the way
Of drinking 1t, is destroyed totally in
body and mind in very short time.
First it's a british, hog-like drunk,
then delirium tremens of a horrible
sort that was never known west Of the
Suez, and finally insanity and death.
"The principal scandal about the
traffic is that the high native civil Of
ficials control the manufacture Of the
poison. They not only own the dis
tilleries where vino Is made. but are the
proprietors Of the hundreds Of retail
shops in Manila, where 1t is sold to
poor natives and American soldiers.
"These shops are run on the same
lines as the grog shops along the wa
ter front Of ports in the United States
Some Of these officials hold high offices
in the islands and pretend to an en-
lightened solicitude for the welfare Of
their countrymen.
THE government will have to tackle
the question sooner or later and it will
not be an easy nut to crack"
