The Chinese Hitting Back.

Recently the Chinese merchants In
the various large colonies of their peo-
pie in this country received from the
Chinese minister at Washington COM
munication asking them to Join gen.
eral commercial association ''for the
correction Of injustice In international
commercial relations" The head Of
this new association, which Of course
will have it's ramiflcations in China, Is
WI Ting Fang, formerly Chinese min
lister at Washington. Recently several
commercial bodies in China, headed by
the Chinese chamber Of commerce in
Shanghai, placed boycott upon Amer
lean goods until the United States
comedies some relief in the matter Of
exclusion"
The Chinese do everything by socie-
ties, and boycotting is native game
practiced to perfection the last 5000
years. A Chinese merchant Of an in
terror town may not know why he
is ordered to refuse American goods.
He does not care to know. The assO-
citation says 1t must be, and the ed1ct
goes. The boycott will chiefly affect
the Pacific coast, which began and has
maintained the agitation for exclusion
and where Chinese trade is a matter

ST. kILDA ISLAND.
The Natives Have Colds Only When
Visited by FOreigners.

The Natives Have Colds Only When
Visited by Foreigners.
There are many places where it is
impossible to catch cold because there
is no cold to catch. There is st. Kilda,
that lonely rocky island which was
visited by DR.. Johnson when he and
Boswell were making their famous
tour Of the Hebrides. There are about
a hundred Inhabitants on the island.
The coasts are so precipitous that for
eight months in the year it is prac-
tically inaccessible. Several vessels
from the mainland call there during
the summer. And. strange to say,
whenever a ship reaches the island
from the mainland every inhabitant,
even to the infants, Is seized with a
cold. This fact has been known for
more than 200 years and was Of great
interest to DR.. Johnson, who was skep-
teal concerning it.
The question Of this st. kilda cold
long puzzled men, who never dreamed
that it was an infectious disease and
that without the possibility Of infec-
ton it is impossible to catch it, no mat
ter what the exposure may be. That Is
to say, it Is due to a micro organism,
and without the presence Of this micro
organism the disease cannot be con-
tracted.-New York Herald.

SvmDathy In Animals,

Animals are credited with marvellous
traits by writer's of nature stories, and
a word by John Burroughs on the sub
ject Of sympathy in the lower species
is Of interest. In answer to an inquiry
on the subject he says:
Pure self1shness rules the lower animals,
and necessarily So sympathy Is not nee
essary for the continuance Of the species,
but affection for their young is Animals
certainly have feeling of cOmradeship
for each other and experience something
like grief at separation, yet dog or cat
or a horse or a COW will sniff at the body
Of its dead fellow with apparent uncon-
Germ. A cry of distress among the birds
will bring every bird within hearing to the
spot and cause them to be more or less
agitated but 1t is only because they are
alarmed for their own safety; common
enemy may be about. In the herd and
the flock a sick or wounded member Is
often fallen upon by its fellows and de-
stroyed. If any animal ever experiences
the emotion we call sympathy 1t Is. OF
course, the dog. The dog has so long been
the companion of man that he often shows
in his nature a trace Of the purely human.
Mr.. Burroughs is a keen observer In
the realm Of nature. He holds that
human sympathy is inspired by the
imagination, and this faculty the anil
mails do not possess.

RED AND GRAY SQUIRRELS.
The Males of Both Species Are In
corrigible Fighters.

The Males of Both Species Are In
corrigible Fighters.
A very quarrelsome disposition has
the chickaree, or American red SPUR
rel, and there are continual fights be-
tween it and it's cousin the gray SPUR
rel. These fights seldom end in de-
cided victory for either side. The males
Of both species are incorrigible fight
ers. 1t is no unusual sight to see a
couple of red or gray squirrels come
tumbling from some lofty limb so lock-
ed in each others embrace as to appear
almost like one animal.
Though the shock Of striking the
ground separates them, 1t is for mo-
ment only. They Immediately clinch
again and continue to roll over and
over, fighting fiercely until one breaks
away, only to be followed by the other,
who keeps up a running fight for some
distance until he feels certain that he
has so punished the conquered one that
he will not dare return.
Red squirrels by their greater agil-
ity and Quickness can worst a gray
squirrel every time in a running fight,
but let them once come to a clinch and
the superior size and weight Of the
gray squirrel are bound to tell.-Chica-

Iowa Loses Last Antitrust Law.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, July 6.-Judge
A. H. McVey has knocked out the only
antitrust law in Iowa granting to w.
Y. Wilcox ct al, fire insurance men,
their freedom, under an application
for a writ of habeas corpus. Judge
McVey took occasion to say that re-
straint of competition may be stopped
effectually by law, but declared that
the legislature has bungled the present
statute so no one could hold it valid.
The statute is in pronounced conflict,
according to Judge McVey, to the four
teenth amendment of the United States
constitution, which provides for uni
formity of punishment for offenses.
The Iowa statute provided for a pen
atty for violation of not less than /
per cent of the capital stock of the
a combine, and not more than 20 per
cent. Under it the Standard Oil COM
company found guilty of entering into
pany might be fined 100000 for viola
ton, and the Aetna Insurance company
$4,000, while the Hawkeye Insurance
company of Des Moines could be fined
only $4,000 for exactly the same Of
Tense.
The courts of the state recently
knocked out the Blanchard law, known
as the anticompact law, and Iowa now
stands unprotected by any antitrust
legislation. The next legislature will
undoubtedly take the matter up.

A NOTABLE DWARF.
The Witty Debut Of BOrulwaslkl, the
Famous Little Pole.

H
Famous Little Pole.
A very notable dwarf was Borulwaski,
the Pole, Of whose debut the following
story is told: AS boy Of fifteen, when
he was just one inch higher than a
two foot rule, he was presented to the
Empress Maria Theresa, who was so
charmed by his grace and good looks
that she seated him on her lap and
gave him hearty kiss. "And what do
you consider the most interesting sight
in Vienna?" she asked the boy. what
I now behold" he answered. "And
what Is that?" why" said the tiny
courtier, ito see so little man on the
lap Of so great lady" Naturally q
youth who exhibited such a ready and
courtly wit had a distinguished career
before him. From that day Borul-
waski became the pet of the courts Of
Europe. He was special favorite of
Stanislaus H., who took him to Eng
land and introduced him to George
III. and his family, and for more than
half a century he made his home In
England.
Borulwaski, who at his tallest was a
yard and three inches high, had sis
ter whose head was just level with her
big brothers shoulders. He was not
only handsome and courtly man, but
scholar Of repute. He lived In Eve
reigns and was laid to rest In Durham
In 1887 side by side with the Falstan-
ian Stephen Kemble.

Tho Abolition Of Gravitation.

Maurice Maeterlinck, Belgian au-
thor and philosopher Of radical and
withal mystical tendencies, recently
announced his belief that mankind will
some time abolish the attraction Of
gravitation. This is an old dream, and
dreamers have even pictured life upon
planets, where the law Of gravitation
is said to be nOnexistent. The poet
Shelley conceived the idea that man,
by persistent development Of his intel
lect, would some day rise superior to
gravitation, like Elijah in the miracle
Of his translation from earth to heav-
en-. Alice, the heroine Of Wonderland,
did not walk downstairs, but foated
like people in dreams.
Mr.. Maeterlinck's idea is that we may
yet lay hold "of that essential secret
of the worlds which for the time being
we have called the law Of gravitation"
and by expenditure Of intellectual and
spiritual power regulate the stars and
planets in their courses. He conceives
that gravitation is physical secret.
which we may discover or blunder
upon and thus be able to suspend the
law at will. II that day should come

itself obsolete, except perhaps for the

course only intelligent beings can be

If they could not get work, and so the

REMAINS OF AMERICAN HERO
TRANSFERRED TO CUSTODY
OF THE NAVY.
Imposing and Impressive Ceremony
Took Place Today in
Paris.

PARIS, July 6.-AnOlner lin III IAe
chain of friendship binding together
the great republics of the new and old
worlds was forged today when official
France united with representatives OF
the United States in paying respect
to the memeory of the great American
Admiral, Paul Jones. The program
of ceremonies accompanying the trans
fer of the Admiral's remains to the GUS
tody of the American naval authorities
for conveyance to the United States
occupied the greater part of the day
and attracted unlimited attention in
the French capital.
An American naval escort of more
than five hundred officers and men
from the American squadron at Cher
bourg arrived in Paris by special train
at an early hour this morning. The
visitors were met at the Invalides
Railroad Station by a detachment of
French troops, who acted as escort to
the barracks of the Military School,
which the government placed at the
disposal of the United States sailors
and marines. At $3.50 this afternoon
Admiral Sigsbee, his staff and the en-
tire naval contingent proceeded to the
American Church, on the Avenus de
TAlma, where the ceremonies of the
delivery of Admiral Paul Jones' body
to the representatives of the American
government took place. The church
was thronged with distinguished
French naval and civil officers, several
members of the cabinet and represent
atives of various patriotic societies.
The body lay in state in the chancel
of the church, the caSket being COW
cred with the national flags of the
United States and France and a num-
Der of handsome floral emblems. Cen
eral Horace Porter, former Ambassa-
dor to France, as custodian of the
body, the recovery of which was due
address previous to turning over the
body to Francis B. LoOmis, the special
representative of the United States
government. He later in turn COM
missioned Rear Admiral Sigsbee, COM
manding of the American escorting
squadron, to transport the body to
the United States. A salute was fired
as eight American marines snouldered
the coffin and carried it to an artillery
caisson, on which it was publicly con-
veyed to the Esplanade of the Inval-
ides The route of the procession was
through the Champ Elysees and across
the Alexander bridge, hating before
the tomb of Napoleon. Houses all
can colors and the sidewalks were
thronged with sightseers Who stood
with barred heads as the procession
passed.
Arriving before the tomb of Ma
poleon the coffin was deposited on a
high catafalque, surrounded by flags
and flowers, and an entire division of
French troops passed in review before
the body After rendering military
honors to the dead the body was placed
on an open railway car, guarded by
a French and American escort Ten
