dered him to commit suicide. He did this, but gave his son instructions to throw his body into the Tsientang river, so that he could come to Hang chow with every bore and gaze on the downfall of Wu.
 The mid-autumn festival, on the eighteenth day of the eighth moon, is Chinese holiday, and immense crowds visit Raining to see the bores and also to worship at the temples. Most of the people arrive by boat, and they worship at the Hai Shen Mias. or Spirit of the Sea temple. This year temporary pavilion was also erected on the buttress to enable the local off, cials to sacrifice to the Spirit of the Sea. In this pavilion was erected a table or altar on which were the vari- ous sacrifcial dishes and wine. and at the side cooked sheep and cooked hog. On the sea wall there was a crowd of about 10000 assembled. wait ing for the bore. and about half an hour before the bore was due the ofn- cials arrived and performed the sacri- ice. The ceremony only occupied about i've minutes. and was simple but impressive, for here was force of Nature which had hurled itself for ages against the land. Man has erect ed a shield to protect the land from the fierce. roaring. rushing and over whelming torrent. but instead of show ing pride in his victory he kneels down and worships Nature still unsubdued and powerful The highest official in the locality; the father of the people. as the Chinese call him; the most sue cessful man; the most learned man; the man who has had more honors, titles and degrees bestowed upon him than anybody else; he too must kneel down in the open air and worship the Spirit of the Sea, and while in the act be snap-shotted by foreign devil"

Principle and Intsrent.

A Moral Principle met a Material Interest on a bridge wide enough for but one.
 Down. you base thingI" thundered the Moral Principle, land let me pass over youl"
 The Material Interest merely looked in the others eyes without saying anything.
 ~Ah.' said the Moral Principle, hesi- tatingly, let us draw lots to see which one of us shall retire till the other has crossed"
 The Material Interest maintained an unbroken silence and an unwaver- ing stare.
 '4n order to avoid a conflict" the Moral Principle resumed, somewhat uneasily, T shall myself lie down and let you walk over me-
 Then the Material Interest found his tongue. 'T don't think you are very good walking" he said. 'T am little particular about what have underfoot. Suppose you get of into the water"
 It occurred that way-Ambrose Bierce.

about half an hour before 1t reaches one, and as it approaches the foam looks like a white line extending across the bay. In places where the tide dashes on the sand flats one can see how the bore in its rage at these opposing Instructions filings up the mud in huge black masses twenty feet high. On 1t comes, making a peculiar dull roar which is swesome and i'm presses one with a sense of great force. The highest part is in the cen ter of the river, where 1t is about ten feet high, whereas near the wall on the shore it is only about six feet high. The bore has a sloping front,
 nd this is agitated into foam extend
 lg a long way behind. Behind the
 5ore there is no declivity but contin- uously increasing depth of water, and within a quarter of an hour after the passing of the bore the tide is about fourteen feet high. and in three hours reaches It's maximum of nineteen feet This huge volume of water only takes three hours to i'll the estuary, and is then nine hours running out in a strong current This strong outgoing current is actually running at the time the bore arrives and impinges against the bore, and so forms the curved ap- pearance in the center. The bore tray els about ten miles par hours and trav- els thirty-five to forty miles before losing it's height and strength
 A remarkable point is that the coun- try to the north of the Tsientang river is two to six feet below high-water mark, and the Chinese in ancient times built a huge embankment to keep out the tides. This embankment extends distance of 120 miles, and further inland there are previous and much older embankments. These are made of mud. but in order still fur ther to resist the force of the tide

the Chinese in A. D. 911 built the pres ent sea wall of stone. The top of the wall is 2311 feet above the river at low water. In order to facilitate load ing and unloading junks, a platform has been made on which the junks rest during low water and float after the bore has passed. This platform is eight feet high, and the junks are f1oated at the first rush of the water, when there is a big bore, 1. e., high tide.
 To protect this junk platform, how ever, the Chinese have erected a huge buttress at the east end, about 200 feet from the pagoda at Raining, and this breaks the full force of the bore as 1t rushes along the wall. and so saves the hawsers holding the junks from being broken. This buttress is 30 feet high, and Is built of mud, enclosed by fascines. This formation is in some places made in front of the em- bankment. Twigs are stacked up. and these are then pinned down into solid structure by poles about twelve feet long being driven down into the mud and sand. It only takes five min utes to drive a pole in. There are eight coolies on the frail scaffolding. who jerk up the stone by means of ropes. and two coolies there catch the block of stone in their hands above their heads. and then throw 1t down on the pole. These coolies say they get 800 cash a day for this work (about sixpence), and there are said to be about 1000 always employed ex- ecuting repairs.
 The Chinese have a legend about the Hangchow bore. In the fifth cen tury B. c. a general, Wu Tzu Su. warned his sovereign. of the feudal state of Wu. of coming danger, but the prince of wu was annoyed. and or

ISLANDS OF THE GLOVE
MOST OF THE WORLDS CROP
 COMES FROM ZANZIBAR.
Yield Varies Greatly, but Another and Steady Product of the sultanate Is corpra, Finding Ready
 Market In France.

The Sultanate of Zanzibar, just oil
 the coast of central Africa, comprises
 four islands-Zanzibar, Pemba, Mafia
 and Lamu. This sultanate produces
 perhaps nine-tenths of the cloves of
 the world. The climate and soil of
 the two islands of Zanzibar and Penn
 ba seem peculiarly adapted to the
 growing of this important article.
 Many of the trees are 90 years old, al-
 though most of the clove plantations
 on Zanzibar island date from 1872,
 when a terrific cyclone swept over it, doing fearful damage to the trees.
 Glove trees begin to bud about Jan uary or February, and the picking is done any time after July, continuing for about four months. as the trees ripen irregularly When the cloves have been picked they are exposed on mats to the sun for six or seven days, and are then sent to the custom house where the government extracts an ex- port duty of .25 per cent.
 The crop is a very uncertain one, a heavy yield one year, and compara- lively nothing the next. The bulk of the cloves are bought by American, German and Indian firms, and are sent to Bombay, Hamburg, London and New York. Most of the cloves are used in distilling oil of cloves, which in turn is employed in the manufac- ture of drugs. perfumes, confectioner- ies, etc.
 Another great product of Zanzibar is copra, which is the dried interior of the cocoanut The cocoanut tres grow throughout the sultanate without cuI- tivation; land is sold by the number of cocoanut trees on it. A tree will yield from 100 to 12O nuts a year; the crop is gathered about every four months. The nuts are split open and dried in the sun for several days, when the product is ready for ship ment. France consumes most of the copra, which is used in the manufac- ture of soap. oil cakes, etc.
 Approached from the ocean the city of Zanzibar presents a beautiful picture; the snow-white Arab houses are set against background of soft tropical green; lying close to the shore are the hundreds of native dhows with their quaint sails, while farther out, in the deep waters. are the foreign ships. A prominent build ing on the waterfront is the palace of the sultan, which suggests a hotel at one of the Atlantic watering places, with its wide verandas and square Ian tern. Back of the palace are the re- mains of the old fort erected by the Portuguese, and here and there are to be seen the flags of the consulates of the various powers, conspicuous among them being the stars and stripes.
 Ali bin Hamoud, the present sultan of Zanzibar, is young man. He sue ceded his father in 1902, when but IT years old, and until his majority the sultanate was under a regent. The sultan was educated in England, and | speaks English nuently, as well as French, Arabic and Swahili. He is | 2 great traveller, and spends much of his time in Europe; he has a town palace, and several country places, to | Iome one of which he usually retires turing the hot season.

A man could get so tired of turkey that he would welcome a dinner of corned beef, and it would be just the same with any food.
 Here were two fruit vendors, met by chance, with their pushcarts hauled up close together alongside the curb, one selling nothing but grapes and the other nothing but ap- pies, and here was the apple vender appreciatiVely eating a bunch of grapes and the grape vender with equal enjoyment eating an apple.
 Each had on his cart an abundant supply of fine food, but 1t was always the same, and like everybody else, they craved something dinerent.- New York Sun.
