The Worth Of Chinese Royal Gift to
Ii Hung Chang.
The late empress dowager Of China
was something of humorist. The
author of Behind the Sfenes In Pc
king tells story of how Ii Hung
Chang, after concluding the treaty Of
Shimonoseki, was presented by the
empress with a cloth of gold bag con-
tanning some heavy article. The treas
ure turned out to be large vase, and
Ii, who was an enthusiastic collector
of Chinese ceramics, at once sent for
his secretary, Mr.. Pethick, to come
and examine the new acquisition.
Some time was spent in a careful
examination to determine the dynasty
during which this treasure was pro-
duced, but the date Of this especial
paste was lost, with it's other technical
classifcations. After long time Mr..
Pethick lifted it gingerly, placed it on
a table, put himself in front Of it,
drawing a wrap round his shoulders,
and slowly, very slowly, held his
hands up to it, turning them in the
attitude of warming at a fire.
Chinese need few words. Ii under
stood and was heartbroken. The pan
tomime Indicated to him that the sup.
posed priceless vase was only clever
reproduction made in Paris, and the
secretary, warming his hands before
it, meant it was so fresh from the
pottery furnace that he could still
notice the warmth.

WHY Spiders Fiqht,

When two spiders fight there is gen.
orally good reason for the attack
and the vigorous defense that follows.
It is not generally known that after
certain time spiders become inca.
pable of spinning a web from lack OF
material. The glutinous excretion
from which the slender threads are
spun is limited; therefore spiders can.
not keep on constructing new snares
when the old ones are destroyed. But
they can avail themselves Of the web
producing powers of their. younger
neighbors, and this they do without
scruple. AS soon as a spiders web
constructing material has become ex-
hausted and it's last web destroyed it
sets out in search Of another home
and unless it should chance to find one
that is tenantless battle usually en-
sues, which ends only with the retreat
or death of the invader or defender.

General Millionard is the second
prominent army officer executed as a

occupied by the rebels, though an at
tack by President Simon's soldiers
was imminent.
