china's Bows and Arrows.

Though an attempt was made two
years ago to abolish bows and arrows
as the national wearons Of China the
work has only been accomplished
within the last few weeks. The i'm
perial archers have existed up to the
time the royal edict put them out OF
business about month ago. The EN-.
peror's decree is as follows: Our dy-
nasty was established by means VI the
bow and arrow and the art is still
therefore kept up in the examination
Of officials and the drilling OF troops.
Lately, however. military science has
improved and weapons are being mod
ernized every day and we must imi
tate the martial spirit Of our ances'
tors by using our best endeavors to es
tablish a strong government. Here
after the princes. dukes and ministers
of the eight banners must all earnest
ly practice military art and attain the
utmost proficiency. which will leave
no time for the observance Of mere
forms; and We order all officials in fu'
ture not to carry the bow and arrow
when they attend state ceremonies,
Tor are imperial bodyguards or the
palace guards to use them. but the
best weapons must be provided fol
them. Let the board Of war draw uI
the necessary regulations for the prop

soldiers and let the said board repor;

Butterflies as investments.

Butterfly collectors are seldom able
to estimate with any confidence the
value of their collections, since the
prices for specimens so constantly
vary. A case in pclnt is that Of the
blue butterfly of Brazil, specimens OF
which were originally sold for from
$50 to SIS. Not long ago some col
lsctors who supplied the London mar
ket ran into perfect swarm of these
butterflies and shipped TO England
such quantities that better speci-
mems than the original insects are sold
Cor 81 each.
1t not infrequently happens that two
or three specimens Of certain family
are discovered by collectors. who, en-.
couraged by the high prices received
for the~ finds. are tempted to prose-
cute their search for this particular
variety without results for several
years. Suddenly they or some other
collectors find the insects grown plen-
tiful, and the cherished varieties OF
the cabinet become among the com.
monest specimens.

GAINED RAGING OF THE OCEAN.
Oil Poured From Vessel Made Min.
iature Milpond.


Il am one of the few tourists. he
said. who ever saw the sea oiled in
e storm. III tell YOU how they did IT..
The oil vas stored in big zinc
tanks. where il served as ballast. It
only cost cent or so a gallon, for 1t
was refuse, a mixture Of whale Oil,
vegetable oil and petroleum.
When the hurricane struck US and
the ship was like to founder in the
surging, boiling foam the captain
turned a valve and through sluices
on either side of the ship some fifty
or sixty gallons of oil flowed out upon
the sea.
The effect was like magic. The
oil made prismatic skin over the
water on all sides. The foam disap-
peared. We floated in a millpond
about 200 yards square and without
this dark calm millpond roared the
white sea.
1T only took about two minutes for
all this to happen.
We sailed onward. The. rocking
ceased. The seasick heaved sishs OF
relief. For half hour the oil stayed
with us. a solid skin of beautiful hues.
Then it broke up and sailed away in
patches of every size.
The storm ragged two hours. We
oiled the sea four times. 1t was an
odd experience"

Parish Clerks Record.

The Yarmouth (Eng.) Parish Maga
zine claims that Mr.. E. J. Lupson, the
parish clerk in that town. has rec.
ord unparalleled in the Church OF Eng.
land. Appointed forty-two years ago,
he has served under seven Wears, and
since 1863 has been absent from Var.
mouth only once in E,162 Sundays,
while temporary indisposition has pre-
vented the performance of his duty
in the parish church on but three
other occasions. He has attended
1892 marriages, and has given
away" the bride on 1854 occasions.
These marriages were solemnized by
213 different clergymen. Mr.. Lupson
still performs his duties with all the
alertness of a man twenty years
younger.

The future historian of the United

vate cables which, within the last 60
days, passed between President Roose'
velt, King Edward Of England, the
German Kaiser, President Loubet OF
the French Republic, the Car and
the Mikado. Some OF these cables,
It is stated, are Of an exceedingly
personal nature, but they show, 1t Is
AIDED, the persistence of President
Roosevelt, accompanied by remarks
as to sound financial and economic
sense. and they display also, 1t is as
serted, the kindliness of Englands
King and the helpfulness of the Ger
man Emperor and Of the President OF
the French Republic. Incidentally, 1t
is ayerred, continues the New YORK
Sun. some of the cables give momen-
tarv evidences of testines on the part
of the Car and the Mikado. These
private cables will be tucked away In
the secret vaults of the State Depart
ment at Washington and will not see
the light of day until all the great
actors in the peace climax have gone
to eternity and a future Bancroft is
permitted to handle them.

and Dixon, who are now operating in the
Valentine district in Cherry county. and In
the North Platte district in Grant and

we have reliable information that the
fences In Mcpherson county are coming
down rapidly. as a result Of the informa-
ton recently filed against the Reed and
Miller ranches in that county" said spe-
cial Attorney Rush. Tuesday.
THE cattlemen are beginning TO see that
the government does not intend to triie
with them and consequently they are COM
ing to time. We have been visited by
number Of ranchmen from other districts,
particularly along the forest reservations,
who have awakened TO the fact that the
government means Just what 1t says, and
they have promised that their fences shall
come down az once.
Are Tearing Down Fences.
They are making good their promises,
too. as we are learning from the special
agents In the field They we're at first dis
posed to make a hluff at defiance but
when the deputy marshals appeared in the
district with warrants for the arrest OF
Reed and the Miller brothers they began
to see that II was not n matter for childs
play and they are falling over each other,
so to speak, in clearing away their fences
from the public lands. We expect TO hear
the same good report from the valentine
district very soon. We have large num-
Der OF cnses now about ready for trial.
Some of them are equity cases that will
be brought directly to trial. while those
of a auasi-criminal character will be re-
ferred 20 the grand jury.
There Is another feature OF the cases
pertaining to certain lands that are tenn
porarily withdrawn from entry that the
government will are not wholly APP
propriated by the big cattlemen to the
exclusion OF the small cattle owners. There
are 100000 or 100000 Of acres of these
lands in Nebraska, and wherever there is
found to be a fence on them the parties
building or controlling II will be brought
to trial
Another phase OF the cases the govern
