Chinese National Vice.

William Edgar Cell. who has trav
eled much in China, thinks that the
great peculiarity of the Chinaman is
that he lives in a fictitious environ
ment. To him the world is one of un
realities. He worships demons. Enor
nous sums of money are paid by the
Chinese to locate the devil. Goa
mines are not worked because it is
held to be wicked to disturb the demon
who lives in the bowels of the earth
Shall we drive shafts into his baclt?'
the Chinaman asks. One misfortune
is the common use Of opium. Vast
sections of the land are devoted to
the growth of the poppy. On the
steamboats,. on the canals, in the grea,
business houses, everywhere, men lie
down and smoke opium. 1t is ma.
tional mania, everywhere acknowl
edged to be bad"

Senator II. r.. DeLon

Senator H. T. DeLong, whom
the writer has had the pleasure of
knowing personally for the past
several years, was numbered with
the constitutional Republicans in
the senate on the question of de-
Gliding who was rightfully elected
governor. The gentleman stood
for the strict compliance of the
law in every matter pertaining to
the selting of the chief executive
and ignored the dictates of the
Peabody supporters and corpora
ton bosses. Mr.. DeLong is not
only intelligent, but very broad
minded and the entire force of the
corporation influence couldn't
cause him to swerve one iota from
what he thought was right and
just. He is representative that
the voters from his senatorial dis
trict can well feel proud of.

Alva Adams was declared elect
ed governor on the face of the re-
turns by the legislature Saturday
night after one of the hardest
fights by the Peabody supporters
that could possibly have been adj
vanced. For time it looked as
though the choice of the people,
10 the extent of a plurality Of
nearly eleven thousand, would be
euchred out of the governorship.
Had it no. been for the wisdom
of the Wolcott senators-more
properly speaking the constitu-
tional republicans-voting with
the Democrats, the nefarious
scheme of the corporationists to
prevent Alva Adams being seated
would have succeeded.

Governor Peabody was very bit
ter against his colleagues when
the legislature decided Adams
elected. He claimed he had been
double-crossed by his friends,
particularly the corporationists,
and refused to recommend the
names of two individuals for the
supreme court. He was brought
into line again, however, with the
assurance that he had not been the
victim of the unmerciful harpoon
and promised that should he con-
test the election of Adams his So

How Streams Purify.

An Italian scientist has lately made
a detailed explanation Of the accepted
fact that the waters OF lakes and riy
ers, however thoroughly infected. pos
sess the power Of purifying them
selves. A great amount OF bacteria
this authority says, is dragged to the
bottom by the precipitation of solit
matter, but this is not the only puri
flying process. In swift currents the
velocity OF the stream is in itself o
cleansing agent, and 1t has been shown
that sunlight destroys bacteria IN
water to depth Of three feet. Th,
obvious conclusion is that rapidly flow
ing streams or ponds not more thar
three feet deep contain the purcsi
water.

Westerner's First Introduction to
Champagne and Pickles.


Champagne and Pickles.
In England they have revived the
old story of Gov. Sam" Houston.
Houston was dining at the white
house in Washington. For the first
time in his life he tasted champagne,
which proved much to his liking. To-
ward the end of the banquet olives
were handed round, these being an ar
ticle of diet also not contained in the
governors philosophy. He took an
olive in his mouth, and not liking the
taste, promptly returned it to his
plate Just then President Jackson
looked down the table. How are you
getting on, Gov. HoustOn?" he re-
marked. There was moments ST.
lence as the distinguished assemblage
looked with interested curiosity at this
to them-new specimen of manhood
from a distant and t::en comparative

cnAs LIVE. ON cocoAhvrs.
Able With His Pincers to Remove
Husks and Break Into She'll.


There is crab which lives on the
cocoanut. What a curious thing for
a crab to eat! People used to say
that the crab climbed the tree to get
the nuts. But this is not believed to
be true.
The crab eats the nuts that have
fallen to the ground. He has a pair
of strong pincers at the end Of his
front claws. When he has found a
the hnsk, iiber by fiber.
And he hammers on the three weak
places in the shell, which are called
the eyes of the nut. He soon hammers
hole right through them.
He has another pair of pincers in
his hinder claws. These are not SO
strong as the others, but the crab be-
gins to scoop out the kernel with
them.
He soon scoops out enough for his
dinner. He lives in a deep hole. and
the hole gets quite full of fibers OF the
cocoanut which have been torn on.
He rests on these as on bed.
This communicating crab is quite
delicacy. He gets so fat that some
times quart of oil is yielded from
his body. You may think how strong
the pincers of the crab must be to
creak the hard shell of the cocoanut.
A captain of ship wanted to bring
one of these crabs home. He shut
the creature up in tin box and tied
the lid down with wire. He thought
the crab could not possibly get out.
But he was mistaken. The crab used
his strong pincers to turn down the
edges of the box and thus got away
In doing so he had even punched holes
through the tin.

With the exception of A. Patek
Governor Adams has not made
any appointments us yet, nor any
promises or pledges to any indi-

plums to distribute, which, it is
understood, will be divided equal

ininistrations, the governor has
been very considerate in making
appointments, and his selection of
the various officials has been char

does not take into consideration
