Along the road called Yesterday
A patter in the dust and heat

And sometimes good, and some
times bad.

Three Curious Wills.

Becoming a woman hater because,
as he said, his wife deserted him after
inducing him to assign half his prop
erty to her, an Evansville (Ind.) man
stipulated in his will that none but
men should attend his funeral.
BY the will of an Upper Sandusky,
Ohio, man the income OF $4,000 will
be used for the benefit of church and
university work. He provides for a
fund to maintain preaching services
each Sunday and Sunday school as
well. The testator requested that a
copy of a portion of his will be print
ed in large letters and hung in the
church.
After directing that her body be
cremated and the ashes scattered
around the rose bushes in her garden
a Quakeress of Moorestown provides
by her will that $4,000 shall be held
in trust, the income of which shall be
paid annually to the National Won
ans Suffrage association until such
time as women shall have the right
to vote at all elections in all the
states. At that time the principal OF
the trust fund is to be paid to niece
of the testatrix.-Case and Comment

Chinese Tallevrand,

Every Chinese is an enigma to the
western mind, but the greatest enig-
ma of them all is the man who has
been called to the helm Of state in this
storm, the only man, If there be any,
who can save the empire from ship
wreck, Yuan Shi-Kai. He has been
suspected and trusted alternately by
Manchu and Chinese, reformer and
conservative, foreign and native. The
late emperor, who had made him his
chief adviser, cursed him with his last
breath as a traitor and cause of all his
misfortunes. The late empress dow
ager, who had favored him above all
others, denounced him at her last
council. The present regent, his Bit
ter enemy, has now made him virtual
ly dictator of the empire. He is pos
sible intermediary between Manchus
and rebels, because each party believes
he is on their side; the Manchus trust
him to support the dynasty, the rebels
trust him to promote reform. Trained
In the school Of devious diplomacy I'M
der that consummate master of the
craft, Ii Hung-Chang, he has pursued
tortuous course through the troubled
waters Of Chinese politics ever since.
His career would make the plot for a
melodrama were it not too sensation
al and improbable for the stage

LOTS OF HUNTING IN SPAIN
Use OF Firearms Very Extensive, Ow-

Of the People.

The use OF firearms is very extern
Bive in Spain. Hunting is so popular
that 100000 empty sporting cart
ridges were imported into Spain last
year, and of these 100000 entered
the port OF Valencia alone. More
than two-thirds OF the total are of
ordinary and low grade quality. cost

ed, but there is also a limited mar
ket for very high grade sporting cart
ridges with deep metallic lining,
adapted for heavy charges of smoke
less powders, which are imported
from Great Britain and the United
States and are retailed at from $1.45
to s1.9S a hundred according to length
and finish.
The natural sporting proclivities OF
the inhabitants of Valencia are foster
ed by the proximity Of the Albufera,
an extensive marshy lake visited IN
the fall and winter by myriads of wild
duck, coots and other water fowl
that migrate from northern Europe
while the forest wastes and arid
brushwood hills OF the interior are
moderately stocked with red part
ridge, hares and rabbits. All the
moist, cultivated valleys following the
course of streams are also visited in
the spring and summer by migratory
quail that come over from North AZ
RIGA.
Trade in sporting guns, pistols and
revolvers is Of considerable impor
lance, but only the very high grades
are imported. Nearly all medium quail
ity, ordinary and low priced products
are manufactured in the country
mostly at Eibar, In the Basque prov
inces In the north of Spain, where
excellent workmen, many of whom
study at the leading arms factories
Of Birmingham and Liege, make al
most every form Of gun, rife, pisto
and revolver. The barrels are usually
imported in the rough from Great
Britain OF Belgium, and are bored anc
finished at the Spanish factories.

When they are shrill or sharp the
