G a dstone utter
"' oone ance which we can
now look back upon as quite pro-
phetic. Speaking or writing 25 years
ago, of the menace which, in the
prospective development of her re-
sources America offers to the COM
mercial preeminence of England"
the Grand Old Man predicted that
America, and America alone, "can
and probably will, wrest from us
that commercial primacy. We have
no title. 1 have no inclination to
murmur at the prospect. If she ac-
quires it she will make the acqui-
sition by the right of the strongest,
but, in this instance, the strongest
means the best. She will probably
become what we are now, the head
servant in the great household Of
the world, the employer of all en-
ployed; because her service will be
the most and ablest. We have no
more title against her than Venice,
or Genoa, or Holland has had against
u.s."

A WELSH INDIAN TRIBE.
May Be the Descendants Of Colony
Founded by Madoc.

Though public attention has lately
been directed TO Welsh settlers In
America, the question lacks the great
interest caused in the eighteenth cen
fury by the statement that tribe OF
Welsh Indians had been discovered.
In the seventeenth century Johnny
Josslyn. in his Voyage to New Eng
land" mentioned that the customs of
the inhabitants resembled those Of
ancient Britons, and Sir Thomas Her
bert, another traveller of the same
date. in his Travels" gave Welsh
words in use among these Indians. A
century later reports from several
traders and others were received OF an
Indian tribe that possessed manu-
script, spoke Welsh and retained cere-
monies of Christian worship Among
other information then published was
the report of Capt. Abraham Chap
lain of Kentucky. that his garrison
near the Missouri had been visited by
Indians who conversed in Welsh with
some Welshmen in his company.
Those Indians were thought to be de-
scendants of colony said to have
been formed by Madoc, son Of Owen
Gwynedd, on his discovery OF America
in ITO.

What the Metric System 10.

The metric system offers the great
advantage OF being based upon the
decimal notation, the same as our cur
rency, and lis terms or denominations
are written in the decimal form, the
lowest denomination at the right. The
system derives its name from the word
meter" I'll, standard unit OF length,
this unit being fixed at the one ten.
millionth part of the distance from
the equator to the pole. measured or
the surface of the earth, a meter be
ing equal to a little more than thirty.
nine ordinary inches. The unit OF
surface measure is an are" of vol.
ume "stere," Of capacity a liter, "
and of weight gram" these terms
being derived from the Latin and
Greek. The higher denominations of
each table are formed by prefxing to
the standard unit the Greek numerals
"deka" for ten 'hecto" for hundred,
"kilo" for one thousand, etc. For sub
multtples, or lower denominations,
the Latin ordinals are used "deci" for
one-tenth, cent?" for one-hundredths.
etc. These prefxes furnish the key
to the whole system, since the name
at once shows whether the unit is
greater or less than the standard unit
and how many times greater or less.
Thus, one dekameter denotes ten
meters, and one decimeter denotes
one-tenth of a meter. These terms
and the order being once understood,
the who'll system becomes clear and
easily embered.-Leslie's Weekly.

CHINESE DREAD THE RAM.
Lucky Downfall saved the Lives .,
Many forelQnsrs.


Lucky Downfall saved III: Lives Q,
Many Foreigners.
II Is one of the peculiarities OF the
chinese TO carefully avoid being
,aught In the rain. The chief reason
for this is that they have supersti-
ton that drops of rain falling on the
hair breed yermin, which, with their
very long hair, II is very difficult for
them to get rid of. They are, how
ever, equally careful not to wet their
feet. Their care Of their feet Is not
altogether due to the fact that the
soles of their shoes are made OF paste
board and liable to be injured by
soaking, but also because they believe
hat sore feet are brought about by
getting them damp.
This fear of the Chinese OF rain
storms has had a peculiar effect on
their mobs and armies. At the time
of the massacre of 1870 at Tientsin,
the mob after il had burned the
French consulate, the cathedral and
convent, had destroyed the orphanage
of the Sisters of Charity, and had
murdered the consul, all the sisters
and several priests, started towards
the other settlement, determined to
put all foreigners to death.
The cathedral behind them was In
flames, and the mob, fresh from the
torture of nuns, was hungry for blood.
They started down the Taqu road
with frenzied shouts and the beating
of drums and gongs, when suddenly
it began to rain. That was the end OF
the massacre The crowd covered

offer a few weeks ago Of S0lb of hair
from a convent near Tours. This
represented the tresses of nearly 300
novices, who, upon entering the con-
vent, were obliged to have their locks
cut of.
