Strange Chinese
Customs.

"HE Chinese in America are a
source of interest to great
many people, and their strange
rites and habits often excite
ridicule, tho they also form q most

many of their customs, a few of which

scattering hundreds OF small sheets Of

amusing. The papers are not death

My little leaves, why are you glad?
Answer, quivering little leaves.
Small clapping leaves, SO freshly clad.
In greensworld that never grieves.
Answer me, for my heart is sad!
Love God, love God! they sing,
Gay as the birds awning.
My little flowers, what's your delight?
Now answer, for my soul believes
In your sweet petals, pure and white,
Sweet purity no man deceives,
Answer, my fiow'rets fair and bright,
Love God, love God! they sing,
Gay as the birds awning.

What is it that all grief relieves?
Thick ye upspring. a fair sunbeam
In your low stems its brightness weaves.
How do you keep that sunny gleam?
Love God, love God! they sing,
Gay as the birds awning.
The flowers and grass make their reply,
With all the merry clapping leaves,
And echOing tho holy cry,
The dropping heart its joy retrieves.
All voices to their Maker fly.
Love God, love God! they sing,
Gay as the birds awning.

The English Gibraltar. !.

VERY American schoolboy
E knows where Gibraltar is, what
it is and to whom it belongs;
but very few American adults,
indeed very few English ones, know
that on England's southwestern rock
bound coast is a fortification that will
not yield the palm to Gibraltar-in
fact, able English military and naval
officials declare one could easier take
the Spanish Gibraltar thsn the English
one. 1t is known az the Verne Citadel
The reason why SO little is known
about it, is the extreme difficulty
civilians encounter in their efforts to
receive permission to visit it. In the
case of foreigner it is nearly an Inn
possibility.
This impregnable fortress has been
built as refuge for royalty in case of
invasion. 1t crowns the summit Of a
cliff that rises sheer from the waters
edge $50 feet guarding the celebrated
Portland breakwater and Weymouth
u Ye.s
harbor. This breakWater is the greatest
of England's breakwaters and inside
nearly the whole of England's feet can
anchor and ride securely through the
heaviest gale. It tn harbor Of refuge.
Any ships can rum IN for shelter with
out paying harbort dues.
The area of the citadel is about one
square mile. Init are erected barracks
for 10000 men. officers quarters, q
residence for the king and all the other
usual buildings in connection with q
military depot. Every building Is
bomb proof. On the outward side, the
barracks have granite walls fifteen feet
thick, and eighteen feet thickness Of

for practical purposss-you can't make
money out of them! Ask him what

(PART ILL

USE q f0W explanations: b u m-
Lab was founded by B'Um-Ra.
Al B'Um-Ra, literally translated
means the Illustrious Bum, and
B'Um-Lah interpreted means BUN
City. B'Um-Ra also founded the Bum
dynasty. He married King Ke-to's
daughter, and when the fetherin-Iaw
shuffled off his mortal coil the son-in-
law annexed the throne, the crown, the
scepter, and the movables appertaining
to them. The queens name was Me-
Kiss. She had seven brothers. They
separately protested against the usur
patton of the royal dignity and title by
their brother-in-law, but they played
losing game from the start. Served
them right, tool They should have
merged their powers. The king, their
father, was much to DO blamed for
neglecting their education. Had they
been wise they would have formed q
combine against B'Um-Ra. Oppor-
tunity knocked at their doors, and
Knocked in vain-hence they disap-
peared. They occupy the seven graves
in the southeast corner Of B'Um.R Ra's
private cemetery. B'Um-Ra became
the whole bakery and waxed fat, and
after peaceful reign of q years he
was stunned by an apoplectic stroke.
Ali might have been well had not his
surgeon-in-chief operated on him for
appendicitis. That finished B'Um-Ra,
and his son reigned in his stead. Bum
Rel, our hero, was the sixth from
BUN Ra. B'Um-Rel means the gay
the handsome Bum.
By the way, If any of my readers dare
to insinuate that the Egyptian words
used in this story have not been correct,

The tomb of king B'Um-Rel wa
discovered by Mr.. Smooth. The toni
contained besides the mummies Of TIT
king and queen, an assortment o
weapons, kodak, "a pair of role
skates, and curious contrivance tina
somewhat resembled baseball mask
but probably was one of the queen

The magazines are underground, cut
out of the solid rock, and enough am
munitiol is stored there to last two
years siege. Provisions are stored
there for five years siege. The water
supply formerly consisted of a reservoir
containing two million gallons, but as
the supply could have been cut off
there is now an artesian we'll.
In the citadel itself are thirteen bat
.teries of the heaviest artillery. The guns
all are lowered for loading and sighting,
then raised and fired. On the seaward
side, from the summit to the base of
the cliff, are % batteries also Of the
heaviest metal. Secret underground
passages lead from tho citadel to each
battery. On the land side, where it
slopes down to the village at the foot,
it is protected by two glacises and a
covered serpentine road-all command
ed by artillery. At each bend of the
road is battery. The citadel itself is
isolated from the country from sea
point to sea point by clay ditch $50
feet wide and $50 feet deep, communica-
tion being by three drawbridges. Atop.
M, two of the bridges are raised and no
one can cross the other without giving
/ the password and countersign. No
teamster or any one else bringing any
kind of stores, is allowed to enter.
They stop at the bridge and soldiers
take the teams. No visitor can enter
through the day except by pass
signed by the commander of the fort,
countersigned by the officer Of the day
4 Even naval or military visitors have to
get pass.
In October, 1891, when part of the
i Mediterranean feet came to England
and put in Weymouth harbor, Admiral
Seymour stated that an enemy could
creep into the harbor at night, un
challenged, and take the town before
: the citadel could prevent it. This
statement caused little sore feeling

Obituary.

God, in His goodness and mer-
cy, called from our midst our
dear little Bessie. Yes. she is
gone TO join the angels in the
beautiful home where pain nor
sorrow ever comes. While we
miss her smiling face and cheer
ful voice, and though she has left
an aching void, we would not call
her back to this sinful world
from her beautiful home in the
skies.
She died Dec. II. after suffer
ing % long days from a burn.
She was ever patient, and bore
her suffering bravely.
Grieve not for her. dear par
ents, for she has gone to that
home so bright and fair, and is
standing in the golden portals
holding the guiding light. and as
you travel life's pathway, when
you near the gates of gold, you
will hear her sweet voice saying
I knew my light would lead you
safe to the shepherd fold. "
