Solar EcIipse I'm China.

Some days before the recent solar
eclipse occurred the mayor of Shang-
hal issued a proclamation, the pur-
port of which was that all citizens
should do their utmost to appease the
Heavenly powers while the phenom-
enon was in force. The proclamation
began as follows:
ION the first day of the third month
of the second year of the reign of the
Emperor Kouang Sou, a great dog will
begin to deVour the sun"
Enigmatie this statement seems to
US, but in China, it is well understood
as is proved by the fact that on the
day of the eclipse large crowds gath
cred in various places, and, by threats
and shouts. did their best to prevent
the ravenous dog from devouring the
sacred ~sun.-Stray Stories.

Friends of the proposition to exempt
mortgage and land contracts from taxa
ton won decided victory in the Senate
Wednesday afternoon, the Kelly bill for
that purpose being passed, II 10 TO- Just
enough to put the measure through. The
principal fighters against the bill were
Senators Lockerby, Weeks and Scripps,
and there was some warm discussion in
committee Of the whole. The House got
down to business in good shape, passing
a number Of local bills, and putting
through on third reading ten bills. which
measures were agreed TO in committee
of the whole Tuesday. One Of the re-
suits of rushing local bills throug with
out reading them. simply because the
member or Senator from the district afA
fected says the bill is all right, is that
some wonderful things in way of rerbi-
age are given the sanction Of the I.egis

ures are drawn by lawyers who ought 10

masses are against Christianity, but the
missionaries are hopeful and no doubt
courageous. Forty or fifty missionaries
in that great country cannot do much.
The general declared that he believed
there was better field for missionaries
IN the Philippines, but said that the fact
that but few missionaries spoke Spanish,
to say nothing of the jargon of the prov
inces, would make the task hard one.
