CHINA'S DEMANDS.

The Chinese plenipOtentiaries have al
 ready replied to the foreign commits
 sioners that the interior is as yet so
 unaccustomed to foreign ways and
 manners, and that there are so many
 robbers and evil people generally in the
 interior, the Chinese penal laws have
 not been changed, and the foreigners
 are not willing to put themselves under
 Chinese law. Hence, if all were to live
 together there would be endles trouble. We say that unless their Government,
 religion, customs, clothes, food are all
 like ours then it is impossible to grant foreigners the right of promiscuous
 residence in the interior. Europe and America have been alike for many years and so they may freely mix with out difficulty. But in the case of people who are wholly different such inter- course is impossible. Take Japan as an example. Her new system dates back 30 years and during that time she has been studying everything foreign with great diligence, yet she waited till 1900 before she allowed foreigners the privi- lege of promscupus residence in her in terior Although she was so well ad- vanced in foreign acquisition, yet she was so slow to grant this privilege. How they can China, who is so far be-
 hind possibly think of granting it at this time? Well, if they insist on it. we will insist that we can have the same privilege in Europe. We also will in sist that our nationals may dwell freely everywhere in their countries. The Americans treat us shamefully. They exclude our laborers and tax them out rageously if they arc already in, They forbid Chinese entering into the islands under their control, e. g., the Philip pines and Sandwich Islands. Even Japan, with all her professions of kin ship and affection, allows all other na- tions to dwell in her interior, but still forbids ChInesa doing so. She limits the character of the Chinese she l permits to enter the country.-Chiness 1 Universal Gazette.

HOW THE GIRL CAUGHT THE
 FISH

| I lifted with might and main. The l of dusky scales and sacrlet speckles | became so suddenly core 'ated in my
 mind with the fact that one of my boots was full of water and my line was swinging high in the air-the hook gore
 the gut leader nipped off short.
 It was a small work to go to the tent for the other pole. One does not ex- pect all luck to be good luck in fishing. Back on my stone perch I flung my line into the air at random, and the bate struck the water just below the little
 cataract. A tug, mighty as the first
 and fully as prompt, nearly lost me my
 balance but it steadied my nerve. One
 thought, one purpose filled my mind--I
 must get that fish to shore The trees
 on shore began to move in circle of
 which I was the center. With joy I
 saw my angry captive fish flash out of
 the water; then came an instant of
 despair He was off-the curve on
 which he rose was complete and he fell
 forward-right at me! The up curve
 was forlorn hope-the down curve
 was perfect assurance. I knew my
 fish would never escape me. By all the laws of dramatic unity and poetic justice he was mine For in the gaping mouth I read a startling revelation. He was bringing back those two hooks, He struck the water in that little basin shut in by the three juttine rocks. and sat down upon him! I did it calmly, and, I trust with dignity, but without delay. It was the only thing to do. He was in a trap that needed but a lid. I was that lid. There I could answer my fathers call, for the dazed fish had found a corner, and a groping thumb and finger and found the back of his neck. My repressed feelings broke forth in one long, ambitious, feminine screan.-CountrY Life.

PICTURES IN JAPANESE TEMPLES The votive pictures (yema) of Japa- nese temples are an outgrowth of an old custom. In ancient times departed warriors were honored by offerings of sake and rice placed before their tab lets and tombs As the idea gained ground that their spirits lowered around their graves besides food cer- tain number of spotless white horses were provided with which these spir- itual worthless might take recreation. So it became the custom in wealthy Shinto temples to keep one of these sacred animals. There were many shrines that could not afford to buy white horse, SO the next best thing was to get picture of one; hence the name yema (picture horse) from ye Ca pie ture) and una Ca horse).
 The use of the yema was first con- fined to the Shinto religion, but the Buddhists took kindly to the custom.

LIGHTEsT WOOD THAT GROWS.
Found in Missouri and It Is Consider
 ahlv Lighter Than Cork

Found in Missouri and It Is Consider ably Lighter Than Cork. Deep in the bogs and sVanlps Of southeastern Missouri, in Dunklin and
 Butley counties, where the land is nev-
 CT dry and water from one to six feet
 deep stands perpetually in the forests,
 there grows a rare and curious tree.
 The natives know it as the corkwood, or cork tree Science has given it a longer name, the Leitneria floridana, floridana because it was first discovered in Florida along the coast, from which it has long since been washed away Some neagre specimens of it, two to six feet high, are still found in the swamp near Appalachicola, Fla, and few near Warner, Ark, but in both these places it is exceedingly limited in num- bers, an occasional specimen being found, and hardly rises to the dignity of a tree, Only In southeast Missouri, where 1t reaches a height of fifteen to twenty feet and a diameter of two to five inches, is it really tree.
 What makes the corkwood so remark able is it's exceeding lightness. Beyond a doubt it is as MT. William Trelease of the Missouri Botanical Garden has shown, the lightest tree in weight that grows Its wood weighs less than cork. It is light that the natives use it to make floats for their fishing nets. And yet it's wood, though so spongy that one may easily sink ones finger in it, is far tougher than cork. The specific grav- ity of corkwood, as learned from care- ful tests made by Prof, Nipher in St. Louis, is 207. The roots are even lighter than the stem; a test showed them to have the astonishingly low specific gravity of 151.
 A further idea of the lightness of the corkwood may be gained by compari- son with other woods. The great nla- jority of woods range between 400 and 500. Cork itself Is .240 The tree that approaches closest to the corkwood in lightness is the golden fir tree, which grows in the swamps around Tampa Bay and along the Indian River, Flori- da Its specific gravity, according to Sargent is 2616 In comparison with the corkwood, which is the lightest wood with its specific gravity of .207 may be placed the heaviest wood known, the black ironwood of Florida, whose specific gravity is .1302.-Kansas City Star

PERHAPS HE NEEDED THE MoN-

Whistler one afternoon called on a young painter of his acquaintance who did the pretty little sort of things that are populaTIn the course of the con- versation that followed the young ar- tist turned to little head he was painting, and, daintily balancing a square palette by one corner between two finger tips, took fine sable brush and as daintily began to tickle piece of bad drawing into a sweet express sion, saying;
 "A pleasant art, ours, isn't it, Jim ny?"
 Yes" was Whistler's response, but what are you doing, Frank
 Oh" said the young artist, 'I am painting replica of little thing some one liked, because, you know, can al- ways sell two or three of the same sub- ject, if it's a taking one.'
 "Ah!" commented Whistler, you must be genius, Frank, and I, alas am like the simple-minded hen who when asked to do so protested that she could not lay the same egg twice!'-NeW York Times.

THE CAUSE OF THE TROLLEY.

\
 On one point the American is deter.
 mined; he will not live near his work
 You shall see him in the morning, one
 of sixty people in a car built for twenty. four, reading his paper, clinging to a strap, trodden, jostled, smirched thrown into narrowing relations with men who drink whisky, chew tobacco, eat raw onions and incontnently breathe; and after thirty minutes of ths contact, with the roar of the streets in his ears, with languid clerks and pinguid market women leaning against
 him, he arrives at his office. The prob lem of his homeward journey in the evening will be still more difficult be- cars must carry the multitude of demoiselles who shop and go to mat inees To many men and women of business a seat is an undreamed luxury Yet they would be insulted if one were to ask why they did not live over their shops, as Frenchman do, or back of them, like Englishmen. It is this un- easy instinct of Americans, this desire of their families to separate industrial and social life, that makes the use of the trolley car imperative, and the street railway in this manner widens the life and dominion of the people, it enables them to distribute themselves over wider spaces and unwittingly to symbolize the responsiveness of the na- tion.-The Atlantic

 Then I went to Mrs. John Brooks on Sterling avenue where I met num- Der of friends, among them several Odd Fellows. It was there where l got my dinner, a good, hearty one.
 After dinner I started out and had a couple more smiles--I mean whiskey- you know. I then visited my two daugh- ters on Bolivar street and had a royal time. Late in the afternoon I took car and got back home at o'clock.

LONDON AS IT IS.

Thousands of colonists will be in Lon don for the coronation. Many of them
 are accustomed to streets well lit with
 electricity; towns where tramways of
 the latest type run through all the
 main thoroughfares a telephone sys- tenn which is in general use, and numeg- ous other Conveniences which are es- sentially modern. In London, the capi- tai of the empire and the richest city of this or any previous age, they will find all Improvements of the kind in their infancy, and will wonder. Dirty streets; scavengers at work all day, scattering dust and worse broadcast; ll-lit thor oughfares a want of artistic sense in every modern development, and a gen eral attitude of mind which would be in accord with the early years of the 18th century. A well known colonist once described London as composed of ''so- ciety," the "slums' and the suburbs" He said there was very little of "so- ciety," an enormous quantity of ''slums,' and that they were both con- tained in thin rind of attractive sub urhs.

United sundsy Scho"l Workers.

The united meeting of the two Sun
day Schools unions of our city, which
met in Central Methodist church on last
Friday night, was most pleasing sue
cess. All who attended were gratified
at the manner in which the meeting
was conducted, and of the growth OF
the unions. It has been nearly two
years since the Sunday School conven-
tion met at Newberry, in the Church OF
the Redeemer, when Mrs. H. H.
Hamill organized union here, with
Mrs. M. A. Carlisle at its head. This
good woman has been indefatigable in
her efforts, and those efforts have been
crowned with success. She has many
co-workers who feel that their gain has
been great in the past months. and
would ask others to unite with them in
their studies. There are two weekly
meetings of these unions, one on Fri
days at 4.3O p. m. in Central Methodist
church, and the other same evening at
8 o'clock in one of the churches over in
West End. These are non-denomina-
tional and very beneficial to all teach
ers, besides creating a unity between
those, who would otherwise, perhaps,
never have the opportunity Of being
thrown together.
