A College In Bokhara.

There lay behind the great arch and
the domes and the minarets a retired
precinct of ancient trees and shaded
walks, a grove in the midst of a city,
colonnaded in quadrangle by the point
ed arches of the students cells. Under
the trees was sort of summer house
or pavilion. Two or three young men
were walking in an avenue against the
farther colonnade, and on the stone
steps of a wide, shaded pool sat several
mollahs on their praying rugs. We
visited a number of the students in
their cells-monastic little brick walled

Claude DuVaI.

This gallant robber of mems purses

traction. Duval became so rich with
his i'll gotten gains that he was enabled
to retire from the profession and re-
turn to France. But a quiet life, free
from the excitement of his old career,
did not agree with his adventurous
spirit He returned again to England
and resumed his avocation. At length
he was captured at the Hole in the
Wall, in Chandos street While in
prison awaiting his doom many ladies
of position visited him and endeavored
to obtain his release, but justice was
ineXorable, and he was hanged at Ty.

The cab is no integral part of New

one can't think of New York in terms
Of cabs. Once upon time 1 was in
exile. Only in memory did the great
city rise before me, and what I saw
was this: Huge canyons of stone and
steel, filed with noise and darkness,
through which great yellow worms
crawled, one after the other, in mid
air. That is the picture of New York
that haunts the exile, even as the out
lawed Venetian is obsessed by slim
black gondolas cutting across lanes of
moonlight. Your true New Yorker is

quarters, but even with these thrown

COCHlNEAL.
The Way the Tiny Insects Live ana
How They Are Gathered.


How They Are Gathered.
Merry millions of little buglets sup
port the vast cochineal industries.
Where the tiny cochineal insect comes
from Is something of mystery, but
ne does come wherever the nopal plant
grows and for a long time was thought
to be a seed or f1oweret of the plant.
Inc living female insect is twice as
large as the male, weighs one tenth Of
grain and loses much weight in dry
ing, so that 10000 are needed to make
one pound. During the rainy season
many millions of the creatures are
drowned or washed off the plants, so
that when the long dry summer comes
there are but few survivors on each
plant. But these multiply so rapidly
that before long the plants are cover
ed. The last act Of the females life is
to deposit large number of eggs, on
which her dead body rests, protecting
them from the burning rays of the sun
until the little ones emerge In about
six weeks after the beginning of the
dry season comes the Grst harvest.
The plantation lab ners make the
round of the nopal;y and with brush
go over the entire plant, sweeping the
creatures into a bag. They then are
killed by immersion in hot water, by
exposure to steam or by drying In hot
ovens. The hot water or steam makes
them dark reddish brown or black
cochineal The hot ovens make them
red gray hue or silver cochineal. The
females outnumber the males by at
least 200 to l, a fortunate fact for the
planter, since the males are of no use
to him whatever.

Girl Slaves In China.

A native wister in a Chinese publica-
ton remarks: when a girl is sold in
China she becomes the slave of her
owner and part of his property. She
no longer retains her freeborn rights,
but surrenders them all to the will of
those who own her. She receives no
compensation for her labor, but is
obliged to accept such raiment and
food as her owners may be pleased to
give her. In cases of tyranny or gross
cruelty she cannot appeal for redress.
She may be resold, given away or
cast off in the streets at the arbitrary
will of her master. All freedom is de-
MED her, and she remains tool and
chattel in the hands Of her owner un-
til she is sold again or until death re-
leases FER from her unwilling fate.'
