TOLD BY BAYARD TAYLOR STRANGE PLACES OF EARTH ROMANCE IN SECOND WEDDING --- APPLES OF STRANGE COLORING SENATOR USED WARM WORDS VOL. 22. NO. 1. In Mrs. Bayard Taylor's recent book, "On Two Continents," are some interesting letters by her husband, the traveler and poet. Among these is one describing a dinner to the poet Tupper, at which Tupper was baited by Taylor: "I think the first evidence was his complacent assertion that most of the American names we suppose to be Indian are really corrupted European names. 'Give an instance!' I said. He was a little disconcerted, but presently answered: 'Mobile. That is certainly French.' 'It sounds so,' I said, 'but perhaps you don't know how it came that the settlement was founded, not long ago, by northern men, who quarreled about apportionment of the land. A fight was a moment, when somebody opened a barricade to petroleum which he found among the people, them and thus restored peace. Therefore they decided to call the place Mobile.' I looked furtively at Bryant, whose upper face was stolid; but his gray mustache will conceal a large smile, and I noticed a slight quivering about the edges of his beard, which induced me to go on. Tupper was evidently mystified." Here is Bayard Taylor's account of his visit with Disraeli: "Beaconsfield Dr. Jean Charcot, who led the recent French anarchic expedition, thus describes the food his party lived upon near the south pole in the winter of 19034: "Besides the piemontial stores taken with us, the seals, killed in some numbers at the beginning of winter and kept in ice, never fused us, though it should be said that we sometimes should wear several weeks without securing any. The meat is excellent and the fat proved very useful for melting large quantities of ice. The cormorants, which were equally good eating, never left us, while the penguins, although they abandoned their rockery at the beginning of winter, frequently returned to the island in some numbers, except in August and September. During the whole winter the sheathbills lived around the vessel like chickens or pigeons, eating the fragments thrown overboard. Lastly, we obtained a considerable number of good fish either from the open water or from holes made in the ice, or the break of the barnacles easily gathered from the sea. A traveler on the upper Nile gives this picture of big game that abounds there: "Of wild animals elephants take the first place; there are herds of them; and the story is The strange story is circumstantially told in a London journal of a man and woman who were a second time married to each other, after separation, without the former being aware that he had known the lady before, much less been married to her. Ruth Emery, an orphan governess, was 18 when James Hurlbut first met and married her in Quebec. After a brief honeymoon he set out alone to seek his fortune in the western states, leaving his wife with her former employer, on the understanding that she remained there until he was able to send for her. A misunderstanding arose. Correspondence ceased. Two months later she wrote him to forgive her. But this letter never reached him. A few years later Mrs. Hurlbut applied for a divorce, which was granted on the ground of desertion. Subsequently she married. Two years later this husband died in New Mexico. She was left a fortune, which included mines in Montana. At a hotel in Butte she saw a man whose face seemed strangely familiar. It was that of a middle-aged man with iron gray hair and beard. She learned Prof. James A Graves of this city, has just sent to Prof. Surface, the stage zoologist, a peculiar apple, the strange coloring of which has excited his curiosity and for which he cannot, although he in a botanist of forty years' experience, account, says the Philadelphia Record. Prof. Graves says that last summer he was at Stockport, Pa., and was shown a very old apple tree on the estate of Ann Preston. He was told that it bore apples with greenish yellow skin under which was a blood-red pulp to the core. He arranged that several of the apples should be sent to him when they ripened and he recently received them. They are ordinary looking on the outside, but upon cutting them open they are at first blood-red and near the core turn to a purple. The late Senator Rollins of New Hampshire was at one time greatly annoyed by a persistent office-seeker, who took advantage of every opportunity to press his claim. It is said that on one occasion it happened that both were on a steamer between New York and Boston, and the office-seeker, seeing an influential politician of the Granite state in conversation with the senator, and one whom he knew to be friendly to him and an ardent friend and admirer of the senator as well, begged him to say a word to Senator Rollins in his behalf. This the friend gladly consented to received me in a conventionally friendly way. I said to him: 'It is the author, not less than the statesman, whom I desire to know.' He looked at me and asked: 'Why? I answered: 'Because I am much more an author than a statesman.' Then he suddenly said: 'Are you Bayard Taylor?' Yes. 'Shake hands again!' he exclaimed, with something almost like enthusiasm in so old an Israelite. I have known you for years through your works! He was excessively cordial thenceforth, but oh, how fearfully ugly he has become! Red-edged watery eyes (one blind, they say), protruding under lip, hooked nose, sallow, puffy skin and the general aspect of a hungry vulture, it amazes me to think of this man's history. I spoke to him about his works and we got on with them. This of Hisham Harte is amusing: 'He is handsome, with the easy manners of a man of the world, he likes to hear himself talk, is not the most interruptions and is very entertaining. Before he left the room he looked at himself in the mirror. We invited him to dinner soon after; he accepted—and did not come. This was his usual habit, and numerous complaints were rife in consequence.' of the greatest size. A big herd wanders down from the flanks of Elgon and uses a remarkable elephant road, which is apparently used only during the season of migration. This herd frequently crosses the Nile at the southern end of the lake-like extension near Wadelad. Hippopotami come next in size and are to be found in countess numbers in the Nile. When the tributary rivers are in flood they go along way up them. Were it not for the fact that in the Nile they are extremely dangerous and cause considerable loss of life, well well be preserved, for they do little other harm—a very small fence is sufficient to keep them out of cultivation." I "wonder," says a resident of Tientsn, "how many persons have troubled to inquire the meaning of the red band which invariably runs down the center of a Chinese envelope? Curiosity led me to investigate the mystery—and it was simple. The Chinese mouncing being white, that color is regarded as unlucky and the white envelope is accordingly not only barred with red, but lined with the same, which is a good fortune. This way I am a good fortune. This way I am a winkle for those who have correspondence with Chinese not to use white paper." that he was James Huributt, her first husband. They met daily in the hotel, but he did not recognize her, and she could not bring herself to make a disclosure. Finally she wished to get an expert's report on her mining property. She was referred to Mr. Huributt as a competent man for the work. They were introduced. He agreed to examine the property, and seemed personally attracted to her. Gradually she grew to hope that she might make him love her for her own sake rather than for the sake of the girl-wife he had left behind him years before. They soon became fast friends. He asked her no questions about her past life; she told him only so much as she thought it would be well for him to know. He never once suspected she who she was. At length he proposed and was accepted. They went together and were married by a justice of the peace. Only they themselves know what was said when, immediately after their second marriage, she revealed to him the secret which he had never suspected. There is an Indian legend connected with the tree which is generally believed by the common people of the vicinity. An Indian chief of the Delawares, named Walla Wocka, was out hunting one day and was murdered by a member of his tribe, who, in order to conceal the crime, buried his body at the foot of the old apple tree. The disappearance of the chief remained a mystery to his tribe until the fall of the year, when the apples being plucked, were found to be bloodred. Searching for the cause of this transformation, members of the tribe dug about the roots and the body of their murdered chief. Ever since the apples have remained bloodred, sry those who recite the legend. do, knowing nothing of the annoyance to which the senator had been subjected, and he was somewhat surprised, therefore, when, later in the evening, he alluded to the matter, to have Senator Rollins very impatiently and, emphatically advise him to go back and tell the man to go to—well, not iceland, by any means, or anything like it. The politician was equal to the occasion, however, and on returning to his friend he said, in reply to eager questioning as to what the senator had to say: "We!' BUI, I praise it's all right, for he spoke very wellly of you indeed!" WOULD YOU DODGE EARTHQUAKES? STUDY THIS MAP. GREEN LAND NORTH AMERICA MEXICO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AFRICA ASIA AUSTRALIA Within the black band earthquakes are both frequent and severe. Within the black band earthquakes are both frequent and severe. Of considerable interest, not only in scientists, but to the world at large, owing to the recent great earthquakes in Italy, where many lives were lost, is an "earthquake map" recently prepared by Prof. G. Darwin, an English scientist. This map shows a broad band of territory, encircling the world, within which area severe and frequent seismic disturbances are likely to occur. Embraced in the danger zone are southern Europe, the Mediterranean area, Asia Minor, Syria, Syria, northern India, China, Japan, Pacific ocean across to Central and Mexican America; the West points, touching the southern point of Florida; thence across the Atlantic to the Azores, Portugal and Spain. This is called the "great seismic band." Other smaller bands branch off at about right angles, such as those of the Andes and the Malay archipelago. One such band, not shown on the map, extends up along the Atlantic coast as far as Charlestown, S. C. Within these bands most of the severe earthquakes of recent years have occurred. In 1808 four cities of Peru and Ecuador were destroyed. Many thousands of people, including San Jose, Colombia, in 1875. A similar disaster occurred in Turkistan in 1903; while the next year Macedonia was terrily visited. Writer Says Jews Were the Real Backers of Columbus. Dr. Madison C. Peters, in his newly published "The Jews in America," says that "not jewels but Jews were the real financial basis of the first expedition of Columbus." He continues: "Dr. Kayserling has, beyond a doubt, pointed out that two Marranos, or secret Jews, Luis de Santangel and Gabriel Sanches—the former the chancellor of the royal household and comprother-general in Aragon, the former the chancellor of Aragon, mostly rich merchants, conjoined the favor of Ferdinand and Isabella, supplied the funds needed to fit out Columbus' caravels. Isabella did not sell her valuable jewels to fit out Columbus for his voyage. It is generally supposed that she had already pawned or sold them to defray the expenses of the wars then devastating her country. Dr. Kayserling clearly shows that the jewel story is false and mythical. In the account book of Luis de Santangel and the treasurer, Francisco Pinoel, extending from 1491 to 1493, Santangel is credited with an item of 1,400,000 maravels, which he gave to the bishop of Avila for Columbus' expedition." The Bachelor Said. "I'm heenpecked," started the bachelor, as he nervously paced the hall; "between my two sisters, and my mother I haven't an opinion I can call my own, and now they tell me they have given away all my last winter's IS LOVE CAUSED BY A MICROBE? Why not? Everything else is, from mumps to meningitis. And no doubt some day the scientific world will be startled by an announcement that the Love microbe has been discovered—and that an antitoxin for the disease of envy and ambition is being sold in tubes! Think of how convenient it would be! Instead of being obliged to take the love-sick Angelina to Europe—mamma will take her to the doctor round the corner, whereas Edwin, hereof condemned to shooting bears as the only balm for his wounded spirit, will likewise consult the family physician and find the relief he covets. Remember, it works both ways. When the fair daughters of America wrinkle their pretty nails at their noble admirers—when they insist that Lord Duke is handy legged, and the Duke of Goldacres bald and toothless—mamma no longer wrings her bed-diamonded hands in maternal despair. Not at all! The physician is once more consulted—his skill is called into action, and cultivation, in incubation and a wedding are the result. The microbe of ambition will be dealt with differently. Not only does it belong to a much fiercer genius, but its attacks are infinitely more virulent. It is not confined to youth, and its absence is as fatal to one patient as its presence is to another. Its attacks are so insoluble, people hardly know whether they suffer or not, until far beyond human aid. That there is a Money microbe, everybody knows. Its ravages are fearful. It has entered into sport of all kinds, and is fatal to the heart of the game. Its favorite field of cultivation is a pack of playing cards, where these microbes fairly swarm—but a woman's pretty hand has been known to harbor millions, crystallized into diamonds and precious stones. That the discovery of the Love microbe will be but a step towards its annihilation, no one will deny. And as to-day we are vaccinated in order to guard against the ravages of small-pox—so will the physician of to-morrow render us immune from the ravages of Love. But there is a sad side, to this microbe theory. Can we willingly bid farewell to the dainty myth of little Dan Cupid, with wing and bow? Can we ever reconcile ourselves to valentines embellished with sketches of the Love microbe, in half tones and mezotins? Or, if we still cling to little Cupid, must we picture him with test tube and retort, in place of his bow and arrows? It may come some day, but as yet we cling to our old faiths. The microbe is with us—it has come to stay—it undoubtedly is the fashion. But let Science seek other fields, and leave to Dan Cupid his bow and arrows. Defective Page Great loss of life accompanied a "quake" in northern India this year; while another smote Albania. While earthquake may be felt in any part of the world, their most appalling effects are nearly always confined to the areas found in the lines of volcanic activity. It is generally known that a shock in any quarter develops an earth wave, which spreads an proportion to the force of the original disturbance. It is this wave that generally produces the disaster. Traveling with greatest velocity through solid rock, it is estimated to traverse granite at a speed of 1.655 feet a second, which is much swifter than the flight of sound. Its rate of progress through shattered rock is estimated at 1.300 feet a second; through slate, 1.089 feet a second, and through wet sand, 225 feet a second. Through water, the force of the wave is much slowed, depending upon depth, but may each six miles a minute. Scientists state that a person directly over the spot where an earthquake shock originates is much safer than if he were some distance away. This is due to the fact that the shock does not travel directly upward, but reaches the surface as far distant from the point immediately above as the seat of origin is submerged. clothes. By gad! I had intended to be economical, but it's all up now, and he threw himself in a corner to meditate on the workings of the feminine intellect. He got so excited over his wrongs that he said "By glad! I can't even order anything from a store, for it's returned and exchanged for something my mother or my sisters want before I can try it on. There is only one way for me to get hunk, and that is to wear everything I buy, picture frames, curtains, electric light globes, etc. "Now, the other day I sent home a shaving set, intending to learn to shave myself, but when I finally decided to try, all that was left of the set was the brush, and the only reason I had it was because hair goods can not be exchanged. I a worse case of henpeck than a man with a wife, for while he has one, I have three to please." Then he looked sad—very sad. One Man's Wisdom. "Say," said the stranger, as he climbed into the chair, "cut my hair with the clippers, please." "Very well, sir," rejoined the torsorial artist, "Training for a prize flight?" "No," answered the man in the chair. "Pardon me," said the barber, "but I imagined—" "Cut out your imagination," interrupted the victim. "I'm going to be married to morrow. That's all." Not at all! The family physician is once more consulted—his skill is called into action, and cultivation, inoculation and a wedding are the result. The microbe of ambition will be dealt with differently. Not only does it belong to a much fiercer genus, but its status is more important. It is not confined to youth, and its absence is as fatal to one patient as its presence is to another. Its attacks are so insidious, people hardly know whether they suffer or not, not far beyond human aid. That there is a Money microbe, everybody knows. Its ravages are fearful. It has entered into sport of all kinds, and caten out the very heart of the game. Its favorite field of cultivation is a pack of playing cards, where these microbes fairly multiply. It has been known to harbor millions, crystallized into diamonds and precious stones. Suppose, for instance, an internal explosion twelve miles down in the earth directly under Mount Vesuvius, started a violent earthquake wave. The region immediately about the mountain would suffer comparatively little, but the most serious outbreak would be just twelve miles away. Of course the earth wave set in motion would roll on, journeying a distance and doing a damage proportionate to the force of its origin. When an earthquake traverses soft rocks, its effects are more destructive than when opposed by hard rocks or sand. Cracks that open in the surface do not close as speedily, the soil frequently slips, and buildings are overturned. Fissures are narrower, harder rock, and close more quickly. The person, then, in dread of earthquakes, and who wishes to avoid a personal introduction to one, should not take up his residence in the "sesimile belt." It would not be advisable to settle in the vicinity of an active or an extinct volcano. If his home is by the sea, he should avoid shores with a high gradient or deep water approach, as the waves due to a shock travel with greater power and height in deep water. And it is unwise to dwell where the surface rocks are soft and loose, while those beneath are hard and compact. — Montreal Herald. SELECTED FOR WORK OF GOD. Lowly Born Men Used as Instruments by the Creator The Creator's methods are often beyond the pale of understanding by finite minds. Whenever God has sought to raise up mankind to a higher plane of social and political justice his instrument has been selected from the ranks of the lowly born. He was a carpenter whom the Creator chose to give to mankind the most sublime code of morals the world has ever known; he was an archel of the son, a Corsican boy without a past or caste, whom he put at the head of the army of France to tear down the thrones of absolute power which for twenty centuries had held the people in their grasp; he was a surveyor of Virginia who broke asunder the fetters binding the colonies to the mother country; he was a rail splitter who emancipated the serfs; the seemingly sliffless son of a tanner directed the weapons of war which saved the union—Dubuque Telegraph.

It is a side and, to this miro probe theory, Can we willingly bid farewell to the dainty myth of little Dan Cupid, with wing and bow? Can we ever reconcile ourselves to valentines embellished with sketches of the Love microbe, in half tones and mezzo zotinis? Or, if we still cling to little Cupid, must we picture him with test tube and retort, in place of his bow and arrows? It may come some day, but as yet we come to our old Cupid.

KING OF CARIBBEAN ISLAND OTHER TIMES, OTHER GIRLS TEACHING THE YOUNG CHINESE CALL FOR AN EXPLANATION NOVELIST AS A DETECTIVE Capt. C. C. Rivers is now absolute ruler of the island of Orchilla, in the Carribean sea, says the Baltimore Sun. He throw out his lines and made fast three twelve years ago, and will probably make it his harbor the rest of his life—this high he is the only white man on the island, though he has seen the members of his family, who live at 2103 Gough street, only twice in fifteen years. Capt. Rivers is king and cabinet combined, and not one of his thirty West Indian negroes under his sway dares question his rule, but when he leaves Orchilla he leaves his royalty behind. The captain is not a comic-opera king. He doesn't wear birds of paradise plumes when he's on the bus, but down there in that lonely little spot, with the blue Caribbean about him and the tropical nights above, he superintends the gathering of guano from the coral reefs, which the sea is eternally uncovering. Boston capitalists first bought the product of Orchilla. They secured Capt. Rivers' services fifteen years ago. The island is now owned by a company of Baltimore. Other islands are to be acquired by the company, and the captain is here liking for a vicarcy to aid him in the management of his kingdom. OTHER TIMES. Oh. Time from 'o'er thy shades of shades being born, I knew. Bring him the little village church; bring back the 'preacher' too. There he left off the office, and hear the barge jumps. Of man's first fall, the judgment day, I wrote. The winter days were cold, I wot, but lit- tle. The winter days were cold, I wot, but lit- tle. For he could paint a hell so it it served there. Let ye yawn, "tently" past, we heard our pali doom; Then we jolt the boys out in the anteroom. Ah, Time, if you will be so kind, turn back into that day. And I lie down with shuffling boys, and wait for Mille Ray. Her eyes were like the shaving stars or the lips were like the crimson bow that her lips were like the capid draws; And though they oaf was I, I'd registered a vow That some night I would see her home, or And so I stood with shuffling boys within that anteroom. And I stood with my courage up to meet her spoken doom. Alachaday, and woe is me! or woe, at Some other chump would ask her first, before the girls got by! Writing of schools for Chinese children a resident of China says; "Usually the father teaches his sons the first rules of arithmetic, reading and drawing. But when his son is 6 years old he sends him to school, so that the teacher can be tormented with him. The school is in most cases the private undertaking of some better situated Chinese or of a small community; the government has rarely anything to do with it. The teacher, a former disappointed expectant official, does his best to pour into his scholars his own scanty knowledge. The value of such a school education is of course very small. In spite of this, many of the students of the treaty ports have had no other school education and have attained at most only to some pigeon English, and yet they are in active and successful dealings with the Europeans, knowing well how to count and to hold their own. We have to admire the gift of preception and the business capacity of the Chinese under Now, what are you going to do with a story like this, when it comes from two dignified, veracious men, who solemnly declare it to be true? David and Zebulon, bachelors, are old cronies—not so old that they have to tie their teeth in with brown yarn, you understand, but old enough to have settled down to the serious matters of life, such as hair invigorators and obesity belts. For a long time they have lived together, occupying adjoining rooms, between which the door is seldom closed. According to the testimony of both, neither of them is given to talking in his sleep. The other night, however, Zebulon dreamed that he was telling a funny story to David. It seemed excruciatingly funny to Zebulon and he was annoyed at David's apparent inability to see the humor of it, so he told it again, emphasizing the point of the joke so energetically that he actually spoke aloud, thus waking himself. He was sure he had spoken, for when he Scotland Yard would no doubt scorn to take Sir Conan Doyle into its counsels as an American detective consulted R. L. Stevenson. Arthur Johnstone, in his "Stevenson in the Pacific," tells the striking tale. As they sat together one evening in the veranda of an inn at Wallikii the detective confided to Stevenson a case of extreme difficulty he had in hand, and also his theory of its solution. As Stevenson hardly seemed to attend, for he sat looking dreamily at the sea, the detective left, him to have a chat with the more responsive landlord. On his return to the veranda, however, Stevenson suddenly roused himself to say, "I think I have solved that riddle of yours. You see, it's just like writing a story. If you go at it right, it will work cut right. Now." $2.40 PER YEAR. Do the cares of royalty wear heavily upon him? No; he simply sees that the men get out at their work at sunrise—there are no women on the island—and that they keep at it until sundown, save for the two-hour rest at noon. Need an army or courts of justice? The captain smiles. No; of course, there are times when discipline must be enforced, but then a man knows how to do that. The captain had not had twenty years of seafaring for nothing before he took charge of the sea. "My greatest difficulty" he said, "is the fact that the men will get drunk. How do they get it? Easy enough. Orchilla is surrounded by a number of smaller islands. In the seasons when birds are there are many men hunting their eggs. They always carry rum. Suddenly you find your crew drunk on you, and you know that somewhere out on the keys are the egg hunters. What amusements have they? Sleep. When they are been working from sunrise to sunset they want that. To course you can't keep the men from the footsteps and children all the time. They come from Borneo in the Dutch West Indies and once every six months I take the old crew in the footsteps of the father and grandson in the footsteps of the son. They are a quiet, easy lot." OTHER GIRLS I think I stood thus in that room some seven times or more. And each time I saw some, other chap and every time that other chap was one that I could lick. I tell you, he him, and I knew; his mighty slick. Yes, he him, and I knew; his mighty slick. And I thrashed him once a week for, say, And so I said, "Well, blame it all" that has got a show. I guess that I need only ask, and it will be a go. Bring back sweet Mille; let her smile, as But in cup left, let her smile, those smiles that left, let her smile, those smiles But, oh, the years, the foulkings years. For Millemar harbored and when to, he was a man of the day. I saw the boys stand at the door, to see A. J. Waterhouse in San Francisco Cali. such circumstances as these. "School lasts usually from S o'clock in the morning till sunset, with one hour's break for the midday meal. Chinese boys have no Sunday, but on the way to and from school there is much rushing about and playing as with our schoolboys at home. Then the primer and the slate, wrapped up a cloth, are quickly laid on the ground when it is the time to give a cuff or a blow. We see boys enjoying the games of ball, blind men buff, soldiers, robbers or horses, where the pigtail serves as reins,飞iles and many other well-known games. Girls as a rule are not sent to school; the mother superintends their training in housework. As soon as the girls are old enough they are taught to cook, sew, make and mend clothes and indeed to do all domestic work. But the enlightened Chinese sends his daughter to school when the nearness of a mission or some other school gives him an opportunity. was well awake the tone of his own voice still lingered in his ears. For a moment he lay, trying to recall the story, which on the instant of waking, had vanished from his mind, when suddenly David, in the next room, uttered a loud laugh, which, in turn, awoke him. Zebulon hopped out of bed and went to David's room. "What are you laughing at?" he asked. "Did I laugh aloud?" David wanted to know. "I thought I did." "You certainly did. Were you asleep?" "Yes," said David; "I woke myself laughing at a funny story you were telling me." He then went ahead and told the story, which Zebulon recognized as the one he had dreamed of telling to David. Now, then, ye psychologists and metaphysicians, get to work on that and see what you can make of it—Brooklyn Easle. your theory does not do at all, because it will never work out. Let me give you my theory of the case, and then tell me what you think of it." The detective did not at first think anything of Stevenson's theory of the case. It was daring even for a theory, and dangerous to work if it did not happen to come off. But on thinking it well over, with Stevenson's shining eyes fixed intently on his face, the professional began to believe there was something in it. When Stevenson at last asked, triumphantly, "Well? he replied, "Well, sir, I shall try your theory; but if it don't win you and it will lose between us the $1,000 fee am to be paid for a conviction." At this Stevenson laughed and said, "Str, if it doesn't win I will pay you the $1,000 and thrown you the theory for nothing." But it won TEA oP UIE IES eRe ta een en Oo SG !

In the Japan Mail is a curious ttle tale of the fate of a consignment of Japanese fans imported into Bombay. ‘The Mail says: “A number of the fans were found to be decorated with pictures of the holy plaées of Medina Mecca and Bagdad. So soon as this had been ascertained the Mohamme- @ans of Bombay took steps to bay wt all the fans, regarding them as sacr!- Tegious. Having thus averted the dan- ger of their falling into the hands of followers of other religions, they ad- Gressed to the local authorities a doc ument bearing 300 signatures, in which they begged that steps might be taken to prevent any further im- portation of such fans, The matter was brought to the notice of the Jap- anes? consul and he has asked the foreign office In Tokyo to warn the fan merchants against sending to India goods which must tend to injure Jap- anese trade.” Says the Pekin Times: “A rumor is current in Seoul to the effect that some days ago several Korean chil: dren and a whole fam!’ of Koreans were deliberately shot by order of the ‘Japanese military authorities at a cer tain point, some distance north, near the Seoul-Wiju railway. No reliable details are at hand as we go to press, but It is believed that the: chil: dren were amusing themselves by playing on the railway track and prob: ably placing stones on the rails.” One Thine.

Parents will please see that children are on time as the hall must be vacated by 1:20. Rev. Seymour is also grateful to Messrs. Williams and Hoy Attachments, the Capitol for valuable assistance rendered in securing the building Now My Dear Sir: you have undoubtedly heard of that fellow that lives in a glass house and if you have forgotten it, I will just mention it to refreshen your memory. This is not a paid for interview but a paid for answer to your pretended interview. J. H. Dillingham. Rev. R. Seymour's Article in Reference to Mr. T. R. Morgan. Below you will add your statement of your opinion to Mr. T. R. Morgan as to St. James A. M. E. Church bill: A. J. Bell's Statement: A. J. Bell being duly ssw, says that J. he ordered all the fuel to be used by the A. M. E. Church and for the parsonage from May 16, 1904 to May 9, 1905 (dates inclusive) excepting one ten of stone and nut coal delivered on March 7, 1905, and that no other fuel was delivered by B. L. Mills. Trustees during said time, of which Board this affaint is chairman. (Signed) A. J. Bell. Sworn and subscribed to before me, January 2, 1906. H. L. Mills, Justice of Peace. Thomas R. Morgan's Statement. Thomas R. Morgan, being duly sworn, says that he ordered one ten of stone and nut coal to be delivered and was delivered at corner of Jay and Fuller streets for the use of the parsonage of St. James A. M. E. Church and said fuel was not ordered by or for Rev. R. James B. pumper. THE AP-EAL on December 30, 1905 has ordered no other fuel for the use of said parsonage since last named date. That the private accounts of this affiant, are not now and never have been mixed up with the church affairs, the statement made in THE APPEAL II. Seymour, that there was gross carlessness in book keeping, is false and without foundation in fact. Further affiant, says the Jones & Adams Co. has not presented a bill to St. James A. M. E. Church which includes the $17.88 or any amount of money for fuel, which has been paid for by Rev R. Seymour. R. Morgan. Subscribed to and sworn to before me this 2nd day of January, A. D. 1906. Frederick L. McGhee, Notary Public, Ramsey County, Minnesota. "The only comment I wish to make concerning the article is that I feel concerned that you have performed his Christian duty and out about the bill about which he became confused, to say the least. That he can show no receipt for fuel with my signature is attached thereto, and also that no money to the amount of $17.88 or any other amount was held in the payment for fuel. He was paid by check, and we have the checks. I went to Rev. R. Seymour to have him correct his error on Sunday morning before service, and he would not accept any explanation. The fuel in the bill or statement which Rev. R. Seymour showed to different people in their hometown, bringing it to THE APEAL, was ordered before he came to St. Paul except an item of $8.75 was for fuel ordered to and delivered at the new parsonage. Fuller and Jay streets, on March 21, 1906, were used to lay out the parsonage for the church on March 21, 1906, and he did not move there until some time about March 27, 1905. These items the church bought and Rev. Seymour has in no way been charged with them. The Jones Adams Fuel Co. have agreed to deliver a statement of their account as delivered to me (Account of the church). The debts of the church are not $3000 and are not over $6000. I wish to save further that on November 26th, and Thanksgiving Day (November 30, 1905) and December 3rd and 10th, money was taken by Rev. R. Seymour's authority and expedition. no money was obtained by the Trustee Board. the money of Nov. 26th and 30th, 1905, reported to the amount of more than $69.00 would have gone a long way toward settling the interest on the mortgage debt. ($45.00 due December 1, 1905) and the taxes to the amount of $22.87. These debts were left unpaid. He then paid or owed himself to be paid or owed and other debts to the amount of more than $100 according to a report read in the hearing of the people. With the exception of $18.00 due in October and $1.20 paid by Rev. R. Seymour to the State Savings Bank for filing papers. Rev. Seymour is paid up to November 1, 1905, and there appears on books of the church a bill of $23.00 owed by him to the church for more than a year, which he has not paid.

Mrs. Roosevelt may be called the pioneer of this movement, though the wife of the French ambassador, Mrs. Jusserand, and several have added to its popular vein. When Mrs. Roosevelt meets the women of the cabinet circle for the weekly boudul conference she works on a piece of filmy lace, while important affairs of the next social season are discussed. Whenever the President's wife receives an intimate friend in the sunny western alveo of the second corridor of the White House, which is her special preserve, she makes her lace, chats, stops long enough to take a cup of tea and begins at ber lace again. Not in His Line. Encouid was busy working out a mathematical problem when his helper entered, saying: "There's a life insurance president outside who wants to hire you as the company's actuary." "No," replied the great man, "tell him I can't take the job. My figures work out the same when an annual report is to be published as they do in the hot weather of July and August." Then he again became so deeply interested that he forgot his luncheon. Officers Are Dismounted.

There is a Philadelphia girl who has learned that so far as a proposal is concerned he or she who hesitates is lost. A very eligible and estimable young man had long been making it evident that his attentions to her were serious, and the other evening he made a formal declaration. She could not even put forward the orthodox ruse about the suddenness of the proposal. Being of a rather vacillating turn of mind, she said she could not give him a decided answer. "I am not at all sure that I love you," the girl declared; "you must give me time to think about it." Considerably taken aback by what he considered her lack of decision of character the young man agreed to wait a week for her final decision. So the wood but not yet won maid went to her bed that night ponder ing deeply. About 12 o'clock she was awakened to receive a telegram, which read: "You need not mind about deciding that matter until next week; I've found a girl who said 'yes to night.' -Philadelphia Record. Stop Autos With Dust Some of the farmer boys on the Long Island roads have hit upon a plan to "get even" with the hated automobilists who slaughter pet dogs and chickens in their wild bursts of speed. The "get even" plan is not unattended with danger for the projectors, but they seem to relish it. The apparatus is simplicity itself, consisting of an old buggy, a good, strong horse capable of getting over the road at a fair rate, and a young cedar tree. The latter is tied behind the buggy and allowed to drag along the road, which at the point selected for operations is especially dusty. When the boys see an auto coming they whip up their horse, taking the same direction as the approaching machine. When the old horse is urged into a gallop, the amount of dust raised would do credit to a small cyclone. When they meet the "cloud of dust" the autoists generally speed up in hopes of passing the supposed farmer and giving him a little taste of his own medicine. After trying this ruse for about thirty yards, they generally slow up in order to get the dirt out of their lungs. Monarch Up to the Times Monarch Up to the Times. As the fearless white man entered the kraal of the native king, a salute was sounded on a drum of serpent skin, and six warriors, with necklaces of human teeth rattling about their ebon throats, led him before a rough ivory dals, on which sat a majestic and formidable figure. "Hall," said the white man. And, without loss of time, he took out one of his brass watches, wound it up and showed its works to the dusky monarch. "This marvel," he said, "I will give your majesty, making you the envy of all men and all tribes, in return for only six tusks of not less than seventy pounds' weight each." The king took the watch, produced a monacle from a pouch hidden in his shield, and, after a moment's study of the brass trinket, returned it with a laquid smile. "Last year," he added, "in London, I exchanged an old wooden warchulc for a bushel of these things, and, by Jove, I gave one of them that ran above a week. Effect of the Auto Craze Just how badly some men have the automobile habit was shown on Broadway the other night by a man and woman who were spinning down that thoroughfare in a little open touring car. The man, who was driving the car, was in formal evening dress, a crush hat on his head and his white tie and waistcoat showing under his long gray top coat. The woman by his side wore a heavy white veil over her hair and her gown was covered with a big cloak. Seated by her side at her feet on the step was the chauffeur, whose duties, so far as that run was concerned, were purely ornamental.—New York Times. Snow Too Realistic. David Belasco was talking about stage realism. "It may go too far," he said. "It is a dangerous thing." He smiled. "A stage manager," he said, "once had a subordinate with realistic ideas. The manager was producing a play containing a snow storm, and the subordinate had charge of the snow. "Confound you!" said the manager, at the end of the snowstorm scene. What on earth did you mean by making the snow out of brown paper? "Aln't the scene laid in London?' asked the other. "Yes, but what of that?" "Weil, that's the color of London snow." —Philadelphia Bulletin. Safety Hood for Firemen. An ingenious respiratory apparatus for the use of firemen has been invented by Charles E.
