HAD SLAVE BEATEN TO DEATH.
Public Opinion Reused Against CHI

Says the North China Daily News:
The following almost incredible tale
seeing that this is the twentieth
and not the fifteenth century-is sent
us by a trustworthy correspondent:
The governor of Hona1 is being spok-
en- Of by the men in the street in no
very fattering terms. He had only
one daughter and she died. Rumor
says she was In love with an actor
and pinned away because she could
not marry him. However, she died;
her father was determined that her
favorite slave Should accompany her
into the next world, and ordered his
bodyguard to beat the poor slave girl
to death.
"She pleaded to be allowed to take
opium or anything else that would
kill her, but the governor said that
could not be, for IL she committed
suicide she would not be free to at
tend her mistress. Report has 1t that
the governor himself got so enraged
because the girl died SO slowly that
he himself finished the CHASTITY deed.
"This is worse than the Canton
viceroy's recently drinking the blood
Of decapitated bandit; but 1t shows
what savage instincts may still linger
in Chinese high officials"

The young flagman upon returning
at noon found the cougars enjoying

% his treasures were pillaged and his
precious stones were divided between
'ome soldiers. who concealed them.
An Armenian named Shafras, who
ived with his brothers in the town OF
3assora, was one day accosted by an
Afghan, who offered for sale large
diamond, with hundred other pieces
IF less value, for small sum. Saying
he had not the necessary funds for
he purchase, Shafras asked the AT.
shan to call again. The diamond sell.
er was evidently suspicious of Shafras,
or he disappeared from the town and
could not be found for years. At last
the elder of Shafras' brothers came
across him at Bagdad just after he
had disposed Of his gems. The pur-
chaser, who was Hebrew, refused
double the amount he had paid for the
stones, so the three brothers conspired
o kill him for the possession Of them.
When this had been accomplished
hey followed the Afghan, poisoned
him and threw the bodies of their
two victims into the Euphrates. Next
he brothers disagreed among them
selves, and the eldest disposed Of the
others in the same way they had rid
themselves of the Hebrew end the Az

Shafras next appeared at the courts
Of Europe, offering his great diamond

crime ~ had the man invited to court
and put into communication with the
court jeweler. The conditions offered
shafras were: Letters OF nobility, an
annu.ty Of ten thousand rubles, five
hundred thousand rubles, payable In
tenths from year to year. Shafras
aeld out for six hundred thousand ru-
Dies in cash. Count Pancin, who was
minister at the time, launched the
Armenian In a style of life which
obliged him to contract large debts,
and when he knew that Shafras had
no longer sou with which to meet
them he broke off negotiations. Ac.
cording to the laws Of the country,
Shafras could not leave the empire or
even the town without paying his
debts, so his position was painfully
embarrassing. The ieweler Of the
court was prepared to profit by the
Armenian's distress, but the man was
too sharp for him. He secretly sold
some inferior stones to his compatrl-
cts. paid his debts and disappeared.
It was fully ten years before he was
again heard from. Then he reap

Turkey. Negotiations were reopened
and Catherine became possessor Of
the stones. The price paid was the
letters Of nobility, six hundred thou
sand silver rubles and more than sew
.nty thousand rubles in assignats.

his native land, settled in Astrakhan
and married. Twenty years later he

The Various Processes Which Enter
 Into Their Making.
 The ribs and stems of an umbrella are generally made in factories having a speciality of these items and are sent thence to the real manufacturer. Here first the man whose work it is to as- semble the parts inserts a bit of wire into the small holes at the end of the ribs, draws them together about the main rod and puts on the ferrule.
 In cutting the cloth seventy five thick nesses or whereabouts are arranged up- on a splitting table, at which skilled operators work. In another room are a number of girls who operate hemming machines. A thousand yards of hem- med goods is but days work for one of these girls. The machines at which they work are geared to high speed.
 After hemming, the cloth is cut into triangular pieces with q knife, as be fore, but with a pattern laid upon the cloth. The next operation is the sew ing of the triangular pieces together by machinery.
 The covers and the frames are now ready to be brought together. In all there are twenty-one places where the cover is to be attached to the frame in the average umbrella.
 The handle is next glued on, and the umbrella is ready for pressing and in spection. By far the greater number of umbrellas today are equipped with wooden handles. A large variety of materials may be used, however, such as horn, china, bone, agate, pearl, ivory, silver and gold. Gold and silver, quite naturally, enter into the construc- tion of the more expensive grades of umbrellas, some of which, in price, have been known to bring as high as $50 or $20O. A wooden handle may likewise be expensive, depending upon the quality of the wood used. Ebony, petrified wood, fir, oak and elder are as well known to the umbrella men, who manufacture 15,OOO,OOO umbrellas a year.

raneht Him How to Die.

It was after seeing Henry Irving act as Becket that young Japanese study ing theology in this country said to a friend who took him: "I thank you very much for making me remain. You know, 1 may have to suffer some day for holding to what believe to be the truth, and I have often thought that would never be able to play my part in the right way. From now on l shall never be troubled with such a thought, for when the time comes I shall re- member that Henry Irving has taught me how to die. Yes, I should like to die like Beckett" Thus did Beckett in the flesh and Tennyson, the dramatist, and Irving, the actor, nerve the poten- tial Christian martyr that may be- Boston Transcript.

 The Mineral Springs mill is not running this week, and is not liable to start up again under two or three weeks owing to dullness of the times.
 A very fastidious young man, who lives not a hundred miles from here, was visiting his lady-love one Sunday evening not long since, and the fact of his being there being communicated to a party of mischievious boys, they proposed to play joke on him. They chose one of their number, blaoked his face and hands with charcoal dust, dressed him in female attire, armed him with a May basket, and started him for the house where the young man was visiting. The boy hung the basket, rapped, and walked off with the young man after him. The.'boy was caught, and we leave the reader to imagine what plight the young man was in when he was welcomed back by his lady.

Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most eff cient treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women, and is the only med icine especially prepared for this purpose.
 When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in Joins, backache, frequent. painful or sca1ding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices 8 sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound. as it may be the means of saving her life.
 For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer.

Worst Cases Quickly Cured by Breath
 ing Hyomei. Guaranteed by finders
 Jacobsen.
 There is really not the slightest ex- cuse for anyone having catarrh, now that Hyomei is so widely known and so easily obtained. The worst cases of catarrh are quickly cured, simply by breathing the remedy through the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit.
 Used in this way for a few minutes four times day, every particle of air that reaches the nose, throat and lungs is laden with germ killing and health giving Hyomei.
 The sale of the old-fashioned stomach remedies for catarrh has been reduced to almost nothing since the introduction of Hyomei. RAnders Jacobsen will tell you that his sales on this out-of- date line have fallen off at least two thirds in the last few years, while the demand for Hyomei has increased as it's curative powers became more widely known.
 The complete outfit, consisting of peat pocket inhaler, medicine drop per, and bottle of Hyomei costs only one dollar, while extra bottles can be obtained for 50 cents, making Hyomei the most economical, as we'll as the most reliable method for curing

Social Opinion.

Social opinion Is like sharp knife. There are foolish people who regard it only with terror and dare not touch or meddle with it; there are more foolish people who, in rashness or defiance, seize it by the blade and get cut and mangled for their pains, and there are wise people who grasp 1t discreetly and boldly by the handle and use 1t to carve out their own purposes.-Mrs. Jameson.
