The Chinese Samnans.

In Canton 100000 people spend their
whole existence in boats, which are
there called sampans. They are born
in them, live in them from infancy to
old age and finally die in them. Col
lectively these boats form a floating
suburb to the city proper, one of the
most amazing human settlements in
the world. Every creek is crammed
with them. Along the main banks Of
the river they are huddled twenty deep
so close together that the covering
of mats appears continuous as far as
the eye can reach. And each sampan
houses a separate family, with it's own
big brazier lamp, which serves for
heating, lighting and cooking the even
ing meal. The scene when a really
serious conf1agration once gets prop
er hold in the midst of these floating
wooden homes may be imagined. Es-
cape is impossible except for those
moored at the outermost edge. In one
of these CONGREGATIONS over thou
sand persons lost their lives.

No Time For Retreat.

In an lrish garrison town theatrical
company was giving performances, and
some soldiers from the local barracks
were engaged to act as supers. Their
duties included the waging of a fierce
hight III which, after a stirring struS
gle, one army was defeated on a given
signal from the prompter. For few
nights all went we'll, but ON the Friday
evening a special performance of the
piece was to be given under the patron
age of the colonel and other officers
of the garrison. The two armies met
as usual at the end of the second act.
when they fought and fought and kept
on fighting, regardless of the agonized
glare in the eye of their actor gen
eral, who hoarsely ordered the proper
army to Retreat, confound YOU" But
the fight still went on, and soon the
Mortified manager saw the wrong army
being driven slowly off the stage, still
lighting desperately. Down came the
curtain amid roars of laughter, and
the Tuning manager fastened to ask
the delinQuents why they had failed to
retreat on hearing the signal.
"Retraite," reared a burly fusileer
whose visage had been badly battered,

boxes "-London Scraps.

Mind Your Own Business.

An old custom once prevailed in a
remote place in England Of giving a
clock to any one who would truthfully
swear that he had minded his own
business alone for year and a day
and had not meddled with his neigh
bors. Many came, but few, if any,
gained the prize, which was more diff
ficult to win than the Dunmow fitch
Of bacon. Though they swOre on the
four gospels and held out their hands
in certain hope, some hitch was sure
to be found somewhere, and for all
their asseverations the clock remained
stationary ON the shelf, no one being
able to prove his absolute immunity
from uncalled for interference in things
not in any way concerning himself. At
last a young man came with a per-
fectly' clear record, and the clock
seemed as if it was at last about to
change owners. Then said the custo-
dian, 'tOh, young man was here yes
terday and made mighty sure he was
'roing to have the clock, but he didn't"
And why didn't he get tt?' What's
that to you?" snapped the custodian.
That's not your business, and you
don't get the clock"

Taxation of Phone Companies.
If the bill introduced in the assem-.

ton is enacted into law State Treasur-
er A. H. Dahl estimates that the taxes
of the telephone companies of the state
will be increased from 100000 to $780,
900. At the present time these con-
Germs pay taxes on the license fee
basis, on much the same plan the rail
roads formerly paid upon, and it is
proposed to compel them to pay taxes
in proportion to the value of their
property This is the ad valoren sys-
tenn, which has proven SO successful
in increasing the taxes of railroads.
: The attention of the committee on
taxation was directed to the matter by
the statement that thirty-eight COM
panies under the present license fee
law pay no tax to the state whatever.
An investigation showed that this
would be q method of increasing the
revenues Of the state, and the COM
mittee drafted a lengthy bill, based
largely upon the features in the ad
valorem law as applied to the rail
roads.
