INTERESTING CHILDREN.
Youngsters of Oriental Ministers st Washington Never Heard of Christ
 mas Before Coming Hero.

There are in the foreign colony in Washington quite number of children who never heard of Christmas until they came to the land of the free, says the Wash hgton Times. Among them are the two sons and the daughter of the Chinese minister, the young sters of the Korean legation, and Osman Sureya and Ali Haidas, the black-eyed little sons of Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister. When Wu Ting Fang was Chinese minis. ter he adopted the American Christmas to the extent that his young son was allowed to go to the white house each Christmas morning with a bouquet almost as large as himself designed as n token for the first lady of the land. In the Chinese colony are several children who have been enjoying an American Christmas for some years past. These for tunate youngsters are the chjl dren of Yung Kwai, the secretary. interpreter, whose wife is a New England woman.

Forgot the Chimney.

A short time ago a public cers mony was to be carried out at Landshut, an important town in Lower Bavaria. A new public school was to be formally opened, and all Landshut quivered with pleasurable anticipation. Unfor' tunately the festivities had to be put off at the last moment. The school could not be opened. No scholar could take his seat upon the brand-new forms. The land was in the grip of winter, and the architect had forgotten to provide a single chimney throughout the building.

SHARK AS 4 MESSENGER,
Carried Newspaper to Sydney outd1s' tancing Steamer Conveying 1m-
 portant Item of News.

The story of the discovery of human bones and bangles in tho interior of the crocodile captured at Fort Johnson, Rhodesia, brings to mind another story which may appositely be recalled at the present juncture. Everr body has heard of "Mrs. Maequar rie's chair," as they call the east ern point of Farm Cove, in Sydney harbor. There, says the St James Gazette, it was that poos emigrant, in pre-cable days, killed and lowed ashore a shark, cut him up, and found London newspa' per in the internals. In the paper was the announcement of the wal between France and Germany. The shark had outdistanced tho steamer by which tho mail was coming, and here the discoverer had the fact to himself. He gave his information to a wealthy wool dealer, who bought all the sea- sons clip at 9d. per pound, ana sold at 3s. after the news of the war had arrived by the ordinary channel. He cleared, it is said, four millions sterling by the deal. The man who killed the shark and extracted the news of price-well, he received battered silk hat and a five shilling piece and unre. strained liberty as to the disposal of the shark.

Pain Weakens And Destroys the
 Nerves.

Do you know that pain is simply the nerves crying for help?
 Has 1t ever occurred to you that pain weakens and destroys the nervous sys- tenn?
 For this reason you should act prompt ly in every case of headache, backache. stomach ache, sciatica, rheumatism. neuralgia. toothache, and all other pain.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills will relieve pain almost instantly, because they act in a natural and harmless manner upon the nerve tissues, and relieve the con- ditions which cause the pain.
 While very prompt and effective in their action. they do not effect the bowels in the least. are perfectly harm less. and leave no disagreeable after effects
 Delicate women who suffer from headache. bearing down and periodical pains. can use them with impunity.
 You may also give them to children with the assurance that while they will relieve, they cannot possibly harm.
 'Dr. Miles, Anti-Pain Pnls never fail to cure headache. pain in back of neck, cold pains, neuralgia, or in fact any pain. have taken them with best re- suits, and nave given them to others; they never disappoint. ."-

WAS WAsHINcToN's STAFF.
Interesting History of Cane onos Owned by Father of His
 Country.

One of the things that passed through the Baltimore fire un- scathed was a cane once owned by George Washington and now tho property of Maj. Fl. Fl. Raleigh. The cane reposed during the fire in the vault of the Merchants Credit and Collection Bureau at Liberty and German streets, says the New York Sun.
 "In Gen. Washington's will," said Maj. Raleigh, 1.-two canes are mentioned. One was bequeathed to Robert Washington, of Chop tank, va., who gave 1t to Robert Thompson, a relative.
 "Later it passed to Miss Kittie Thompson, a sister of Robert Thompson, and finally Peter Gra' son Washington of New York. whowas assistant secretary of tho treasury under Guthrie, was the owner of the stick.
 "Peter Grason Washington be queathed the cane to the oldest male heir of Gen. George Wash ington who was living at the time of his death. The late Mrs. Ra. leigh was a granddaughter of . Mrs. McPherson, of Washington, D. O., who before her marriage was Miss Washington. After some contention it was proved that Mrs. Raleigh's brother, whose family name was Edwards, was the person entitled to the pos session of the cane. I purchased the relic for my wife, and when she died 1t became my property"
 Although described as a cane, the relic Is really q staff. It Is of bamboo, about four and . half feet long and just such a stick as Washington might have used in tramping over his broad acres in Mount Vernon. The Washington coat-of-arms adorns it's gold head, mathematical with a gold band, upon which is inscribed:
 "Willed to Robert Washington and by him to descend to Peter Grason Washington, of New York"
 As soon as the embers had cooled, Maj. Raleigh hastened to the vault and was much relieved to find after the cane had been re- moved from the chamois skin case that 1t had not been scorched.
