ioned boy? The one who looked like
his father when his father carried the
sort of pomposity which was like the

time when kinghood was in it's break
o. day. The boy who wore hat which
threatened to come down over his ears
The boy whose trousers were made
Dver from his fathers, by his mother,
or aunt, or a grandmother The boy
whose hair had a cowlick in it, before,
and was sheared off the same length
Jehind. The boy who walked with
10th hands in the pockets of his
trousers, and who expectorated be-
:ween his teeth when his teeth was
,lamped togther. The boy who wore
BOOTS run down at the heels. The boy
who never wore knickerbockers or a

In all the Chinese cities a very large
percentage of the population lives in a
sort of hand-to-mouth fashion, buy
ing food from restaurants. Hot water
is sold from stands by people who
make business of providing it. The
great necessity for economy in fuel
seems to be the primary cause OF this
mode OF living. Restaurants are the
great consumers of foreign -four.
Throughout central and southern
China very little baked bread is used,
and the -four is consumed in the form
of dough, vermicelli, or dumplings
filled with chopped meat, or meat and
vegetables, or fruit. The -four is made
into dough and worked into a leath-
cry form by man operating a bamboo
fastened at one end. The worker sits
on the other end OF the bamboo and
presses and works the dough until it is
quite tough; it is then pressed into
thin sheets and cut into strings, boiled.

This foreign -four is also used quite
extensively in cakes and Chinese con-

Il romance savoring of the most poeti-

RICHES oF EcuApoR.
Tho Country Is Treasure Vault Only
Awaiting Development.

U
Awaiting Developments
/ The enormous but undeveloped min.
ing fields of the northern Andes are a
perfect treasure vault for the world to
| pry open with railroads, says a mining
engineer who is about setting out for
| Ecuador, where he has had elglt sub
ordinate parties exploring for him for
,he past year. My private reports
/ have informed me of the iscovery of
alluvlal gold fie DIS in the une pl)re
orient OF Ecuador. We have not yet
located the original lodes from which
these alluvial deposits of dust have
been washed by the denudation Of the
| ledges. These legends told by the Nipa
/ Indians of the fabulous mines of the
lncas are undoubtedly founded on fact
/ Our prospectors have located rich pla-
Ger mines after a hasty exploration of
few of the streams which flow into
the headwaters of the Amazon, as yet
unsapped. Somewhere in those noun
tains millions are sleeping.
| In the southern portion of Ecuador,
already partially opened by a single
| line of road, 10 miles of which is in
operation, my engineers have uncov-
cred five veins of excellent coal, in
seams of from six to thirty feet in
width. This is significant of what may
be there. South America now imports
coal at great expense. In the northern
district, the eruptive nature of the
country has deposited enormous guam
titles of sulphur. At present most of
the sulphur of commerce comes from
Sicily, and the demand is large because
of its growing uses in the manufac-
lures, especially since sulphuric acid
has been used for the conversion of
phosphate rock into fertilizers, as
well as bleaching, dyeing, sugar refin-
ing and high explosives.
Among other discoveries reported to
me has been the location of large cop
per prospects in gold bearing ores
complex ores bearing gold, silver and
lead, zinc mines and alkaline earths
and clays of high value.
Several OF our expeditions have de-
voted their explorations to learn the
economic possibilities of this land of
mystery. They report that the coast
districts already export $7000,000 Of
chocolate, no longer a luxury, but a
necessity to the world. This industry
could be increased several fold by
American enterprise. Since the push
ing of the road from Guayaquil the
sugar ad coffee industry has had a
sudden impetus offering large possf-
bilities for investment. Tobacco of
high grade is grown there in limited
quantities by the indolent native plant
ers.
While searching for gold in the ori-
ent of Ecuador our party came upon
iihmense tracts of rubber forests, the
sole output at present being what the
Indians bring in on their heads. Here,
too, are large areas of valuable hard
woods. The high plateau which the
railroad is now crossing is fertile, and
will eventually play an important part
in the food supply of the other nations.

BILLIARD CUES.
America Furnishes the Best Product in
Every Way.

Most billiard cues" says a New
York manufacturer, ARE made in two
pieces, the cue proper and the handle
The cue is generally made of maple
and the butt, which is wedge-shaped. Is
inserted into a handle of rosewood
snakewood, ebony, mahogany, walnut
or some other fancy dark wood. which
is cut to dovetail with the long part
THE maple wood used in making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape of the handle to be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocks. The handle block is turned
in the shape of the handle in lathe,
and, when the butt has been fitted, 1t
is finished and polished.
The finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means of a
double wedge. At the top of the cue is
a ferrule of ivory or horn. or bone, in
which the leather tip is fitted While
the ivory ferrule is the most expensive,
of course, ii is less durable than the
horn or bone ferrules, which are less
liable to crack. The extra workmanship
on cues is put in on the butts some Of
which are elaborately inlaid and
carved in beautiful patterns
There are number of billiard play
ers who will not permit another per-
son to use their cues, and for the use
of these particular players cues are
turned out from which the tips may be
unscrewed, leaving the cut with unfin-
ished points and useless. American
billiard cues are the lightest, strong
est and neatest made anywhere in the
world. They are made in all weights
and lengths, and rank in price from
30 cents to $25 and more each, accord
ing to the quality and finish of the
article"

Famous Russian

The death of Gen. Joseph V. Gourko,
which occurred Tuesday, removed the
most distinguished military captain of
the Russian empire and the most ia
nous of the commanders who partici-
pated in the Russo-Turkish war. Gen.
Gourko was born in 1928 and served in
the Imperial body guard of Nicholas
|. He took part in the Crimean war,
became captain in 1857. a colonel in
1861 and a major general in 1867.
II was in the Russo-Turltish war of
1877 that dogged perseverance, com
bined with brilliant dash. placed him
in the front rank of European soldiers.
Twice within six months, in the heat
of summer and again in furious De-
cember SHOWS, he penetrated the Bal
kans, which the Turks had declared
impossible. On the first occasion he
compelled the withdrawal of a numer-
ically superior body of the enemy, who
for 10 days besieged his intrenched
position in the Shipka Pass.
Commanding the cavalry of Prince
Charles OF Roumania. he covered the
