Quite Harmless.

Good gracious," exclaimed the dis.
trict visitor. do you harbor mad
men in this village?" She pointed to
the subject of her interest-a little
man with very small eyes and large
spectacles, who was lodging from
house to house like demented humai
bee. He approached each door with
the trusting smile of childhood. He
left with a volley of language such as
could only emanate from long and bit
ter experience.
"Oh. nobody takes no notice of him,
miss" answered the old tenant. He's
quite harmless-been SO these 20

Poor fellow" said the district visi.

THOUGHT TOO MueHeF SHOW
FlnIcky Action Of Wife Of EnoIish
Fireman Duplicated In Our Own
Country.

Before Justice, in a small English
town Of the south coast, there ap-
peared, not long ago, wife who &C
cused her husband Of assault and bat
terry. The man admitted that he had
seized her and thrown her down, per-
haps roughly, yet not without making
sure she would fall upon a soft place.
But he had done so, he declared, in de-
fense Of his person and his honor. He
was fireman, and she had tried to
keep him from going properly appar-
eled and equipped to a fire.
The fire company of his village, he
explained, was composed chiefly of vol
unteers, whose uniforms were kept in
their homes and kept in repair by
their wives, task that no wife per-
formed more faithfully than his own;
in fact, she was too careful Of it.
When night alarm was given for
fire In the quarter between the glue
factory and the wharves, and he
jumped up to dress. she had positively
refused to allow him to put it on, de-
claring that smoke and cinders were
bad enough, but when 1t came to salt
and glue and fish-scales as well, it was
beyond all reason; his Oldest trousers
and pea jacket were plenty good
enough. He had demonstrated and
she had vituperated.
But l didn't lay a finger on her,
your honor not till she 'eaved kittle
at me ed when l grabbed for me
boots," he protested, "and then 1t
come to me twas no less than a pub
lie juty to chuck 'er on er bed where
she couldn't hinterfere; and what ]
sees to be my juty, ups and does. So
| chucked 'er."
Were ducking still the accepted pun
lshment for vixenish wives, she might
have been awarded poetic justice at

Chinese Women Want Ballot.

Miss Margaret Chung. young Chi.
nese woman, is at the head of the
movement which proposes to form an
organization of American women foi
the purpose of assisting and encourag.
ing the women of China in making the
best use of their newly acquired right
to the ballot. She is the secretary OF
the Woman's Auxiliary of the Chinese.
American League of Justice at Los
Angeles, Cal. and a member OF the
Chinese Protective association and oil
the Chinese Women's Reform club.
without the assistance of their
Caucasian sisters the Chinese women
may never reap the full benefit of the
franchise" Miss Chung declared when
talking about the proposed organiza
ton. When the new republic OF
China granted the franchise to women
1t was the most significant step that
could have been taken in the interest
Of progress. Only n Chinese woman
can fully understand what is meant by
giving Chinese girls an equal chance
with the boys. 1t heralds the dawn OF
golden epoch, more than even the
men of China realize. More and bet
ter missionary work can be done for
China by instructing and encouraging
the women in the use of the ballot
than in any other way"

PENGUIN OIL INDUSTRY
BIRDS ARE CAPTURED AND BRED
FOR PROFIT.
Macquarle Island, Between Tasmanla
and the Antarctic Continent, 10
the Center Of q Promising
Commercial Enterprise.

What is probably the most southerly
Industry of the world is being carried
on at Macquarie island, about halfway
between Tasmania and the Antarctic
continent, in capture Of penguins for
their oil. Macquarie island belongs
to the state of Tasmania, and has an
area of about $4,000 acres, being about
twenty-five miles long and five miles
wide. The island is leased by the
Tasmania government to Joseph
Hatch, who has established a penguin
oil industry there. Recently meeting
Mr.. Hatch, obtained the following
particulars from him:
There are probably S0,000,000 PEN
gums on the island, SO that the stock
to be drawn from seems almost limit
less. There are also a large number
of sea elephants about the shores of
this island. The oil is obtained from
the penguins by boiling the carcasses
In digesters capable of dealing with
500 birds at a time. The tops of the
digesters are fastened down and steam
applied until about twenty-five pounds
pressure is attained. The steam is
the bottoms of the digesters, this
causing the oil to rise, when it Is
takken off the top by tap.
The oil is placed in barrels and sold
to binder twine makers in Australia
and New Zealand. There is a good
market for all the oil that is produced
here, but the industry has met with
several severe losses through wreck
Of ships attempting to visit tile island.
There is no harbor about the island,
SO that vessels have to lie about half
mile off the rocky coast, and all
material has to be conveyed to and
from the shore on RATS formed of
casks. Owing to the roughness of
the open roadstead, 1t is impossible to
obtain insurance for vessels trading
there.
Macquarie island is about $50 miles
southeast of Hobart. The island is
barren, being covered only with tus.
socky grass. Whaling ships visiting
there introduced rabbits .nd Maori
hens, which are now qui.e prolific.
The Mawson Antarctic expedition
from Australia has established wire.
less station there, and daily messages
are now being received at Hobart 1t
was the intention of this expedition to
use Macquarie island as means OF
sending messages all tia way from
their base at Adele land to Hobart,
but unfortunately the WI eless station
established at Adele land has been
unable to communicate with Mac.

to being too near the magnetic dis.
turbances caused by the proximity
Of the south magnetic pole. The
station at Macquarie island, however,
has already proved of considerable
value to shipping in Australian waters

up from the south.-Consul Henry d.
Baker, Hobart, Tasmania.

Drunken MONKEYS.

According to q recent letter from
the Congo region on the west coast of
Africa, the monkeys there are inor-
dinately fond of kind of beer made
by the natives, who use the beverage
TO capture their poor relations
Having placed qus itities of the beer
where the monkeys can get it, the ma
tives wait until their victims are in
various degrees of inebriation, and
when they then mingle with them tho
poor creatures are too much fuddlod
to recognize the difference between
negro and ape.
When n negro takes the hand of one
of them to lead him off, some other
fond creature clings to the hand of
the latter one, and another one to his
hand; thus a single negro may sonle-
times be seen carrying off a string OF
staggering monkeys.
When secured the beer is admin
lstered in decreasing quantities, SO
that they may only gradually awaken
10 the sad results of their spree.

If gilt were only gold, or sugar

thing our society would be, II to
lavish money upon objects de vertu,
to wear the most costly dresses and
always to have them cut in the height
of fashion; to build houses 30 feet

vices of Persian genius; to give su-

laugh and which make you miserable;
to drive fine carriage and ape Eu-

vances of your bakers wife and the

self a cobbler's daughter); to talk
much of the "old families" and of your
aristocratic foreign friends; to despise
labor; to prate of good society,"" to
travesty and parody, in every con-
ceivable way, society which we
know only in books and by the super

CURED The CHINESE EMPEROR
Jesults In Celestial Empire First Gave
oulnine to Most Distinguished
Patient.

The one great specific for malaria
Is acknowledged to be quinine, or the
extract of Peruvian bark, but It is
more than two hundred years since
this medicine was introduced into
China by the Christian missionaries.
The ruling emperor in 1893 was
Kanghi, and he suffered from a fever
that none of the native physicians
could cure. He remembered that the
Jesuit missionaries, Fathers Gerbillon
and Bouret, had eytolled a remedy
they had brought from Europe which
they called chin-yo divine remedy,
and he decided to try It. The Chi.
nese physicians opposed It, but the
emperor took it secretly and was re.
lieved. Having another attack later
he proclaimed that every one with
remedy for the fever should come to
the palace, as well as those who were
suffering. The Jesuits came among
the others, bringing the quinine with
them. 1t was tried on several of the
patients and they felt improved at
once. The grandees OF the court were
surprised and the emperor decided to
try IL himself He found that It af.
fected a permanent cure. and In graft
tude the emperor presented house
to the Jesuits and sent his acknowl.
edgment to the king of France for the
"e'uable service rendered by his sub.
