Mr. Blaine safe in his rov,m at the state department one day discussing different matters Of pub lic interest with Mr. Evarts, flien his immediate predecessor in office. "Now, here, said he, "is a case in point. This man has been con sul at Un-Hung for 20 years. He went there at tho time of the war and has remained there ever since.

"My mind is made up," replied Mr. Blaine. "As soon as I can find a good live man to take his place I shall remove him." "But I think von will have grave difficulty in finding a good iive man who would be willing to take bis .pi?.?- ? 1 "I anticipate no such difficulty. But will you explain to me, Mr. Evarts, wiry there will be any diffi culty?" "Because the man has been dead and buried these six months, Mr. Secretary."_ The Shelter of the Dock. ? knavish looking fellow was once charged before a magistrate with stealing a pair of trousers. The evidence agairat bim not being strong enough to convict him, he was acquitted after a patient in vestigation of the case. The ac cused, however, to the surprise of everybody, remained in the dock. Thinking he could not hear or did not understand the magistrate's de cision, the lawyer who had been de fending hun told him he was at lib erty to go about his business if he had any. The man, however, shook his head slightly, but did not move. "You are discharged. Why don't you go F' asked the lawyer. By this time'the court was nearly empty, and the accused, leaning for ward, whispered to his defender: "I can't leave the ?4ock until all the witnesses against me are gone." "Why ?" asked the man of law. "Because of the trousers," an swered the other. "Don't you understand?" "Most certaL\>y I do not!" said the solicitor. "What about the trousers?"

The Yang-tse, the great muddy river of China, is one of the greatest of rivers, and its valley is tho most densely populated and closely culti yater river basiu on tho globe. It crosses the whole empire in its 3,000 mile course to tho sea. The Yang-tse has a different name in al most every province and pours a flood of diluted mud through half its valley, tingeing the ocean for more than a hundred miles off shore. In "China, the Long lived Empire," Mrs. Scidmore describee many interesting features of this mest interesting stream. "When the snows melt in Tibet and the monsoon pours its annual flood on the watershed, the Yang-tse rises 80 or 100 feet at Chungking, 70 or 80 feet at Ichang and 40 or 60 feet flt Tfanlr??^ sweeping in a fierce flood from June to October and then falling as rapidly as a foot a day. Strenge things happen along this "river of fragrant teafields" when all the landmarks and boundaries are submerged; some of them match anything from the "Peterkins" or comic opera. . One year a passenger steamer found itself aground in a ricefield fax from the river bank and the water fast subsiding. The rice farmer raged, talked of trespass and fround rent, forbade any injury to is property by trench digging and finally forced the shipowners to buy the field as a storage place for thc vessel until the next year's flood should release it. Then the rive? rose in a sudden and unparalleled after flood and floated away tho im pounded ship. Meanwhile a war junk, which had been sent for to quell the riotous people, ran aground in another field while seeking the besieged ship, and the mad country folk, cheated of their winter prey and profits, set upon the dread engine of war with ?utchforks, drove oft* the braves and he comi-n ander of the battleship, looted the junk of every portable object and made winter fuel of its timbers. _ Animal? That Weep. Lady Burton says she has seen horses in the Syrian desert cry from thirst, a mule cry from the pain of an injured foot and camels shed tears in streams. ? cow sold by its mistress who had tended it ?rom i birth wept pitifully. A youngsoko ape used to cry from vexation if Livingstone didn't nurse it in his arms when it asked him to. Wound ed apes have died crying, and apes have wept over their young ones slain by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to carry water jugs broke one and fell a-crying, which proved sorrow, though it wouldn't mend the jug. Eats, discovering a 3'oung one drowned, have been moved to tears of grief. A giraffe which a hunts man's rifle had injured began to cry. Sea lions weep for the loss of their young. Gordon Cumming observed tears trickling from the eyes of a dying elephant. Ar d even an orang outang, when deprived of its mango, was so vexed that it took to crying. There can be little doubt, therefore, that animals do weep from grief or . pain or, annoyance.-Cassell's Little Folks. Women Geniuses Are Rare? "In the history of genius women have but a small place," says Cesare Lombroso in "The Man of Genius." "Women of; genius are rare excep tions in the world. It is an old ob servation that, while thousands of women apply themselves to music for every hundred men, there has not been a single great woman com oser. Many remarkable women ave appeared at various times and in different countries, but of all .these none touches the summits reached by Michael Angelo or New ton or Balzac Even J. S. Mill, who was very partial to the cause of wo men, confessed that they lacked originality. They are, aboco all, conservators. They never created a new religion, nor were they ever at the head of great political, artis tic or scientific movements. On the contrary, women have often stood in the way of progressive move ments. Like children, they are no toriously misoneistic; they preserve ancient habits and customs and re ligions." . _ Resourceful. "Murdstone, lend me $150, will you?"

They figure together in tho accounts of the royal garden at Westminster in 127G. The annual rendering of a rose wae one of the well recognized forms of quit rent in the olden times. They were also the com monest of all flowers for weaving in to wreaths and garlands. Alto on bis hccad -cms sett? O! rosea redde a chapelctte. The rose is the one flower con cerning which public opinion has never wavered. Its popularity dates back to the Roman occupation. Chaucer wrote, "I love wei sweete roses redde," and, although at one time Englishmen were divided as to the color they preferred, it was only a question of badge of either Lan caster or York. W'hiie many still love the old fashioned roses which graced and adorned the gardens of our fore fathers, modern rivals have sprung up which have largely ?end id to re ?tace them. The rose Gi tica, the 'rovence varieties, i nd the damask rose ?rc the oldest, from which many ire been derived, while the teas, monthly end several other kinds, have sprung up from a rose introduced about 100 years ago. ?11 the showy hybrid perpetuals have been evolved during the last 50 years. In the fourteenth century they had both the single and the double varieties. The poet preferred the double because they were the most lasting. A' gentle lover of every thing beautiful, the subtle influence of the flowers appealed to him with that suggestiveness of association which is always the possession of the man whose heart is responsible to the inner soul of nature. And Chaucer was a true nature poet. Gentleman's Magazine. Animal 8&gae!ty. The marmoset is not generally an animal whose intelligence is well de veloped. The following anecdote, however, will prove that there are individual exceptions: M. Hatchet Souplet possessed one of these mon keys which was subject to toothache, for when it had eaten nuts it mo ri fest ed its sufferings by expr rive pantonilme. It would try wuu its fingers to get out the small pieces of nut lodged in its teeth, only doing BO with great difficulty. It occurred to M. Hatchet Sou plet once to suggest to the monkey a better means of getting out of the difficulty. He took a toothpick and used it before the animal. Then, after giving the monkey a lot of nuts, he placed in the middle of its cage a short stem of iron which he had sharpened to a point on a stone. The monkey seized the iron and tried to use it as he had seen his master do with the toothpick. Not finding it to his liking, he proceeded to put a finer point upon it by sharpening it on the stone. He dislodged the pieces of nut and always afterward used his iron toothpick with most satisfactory re sults. Sorry He Spoke. A parrot belonging to a clergy man was generally taken out of the room when the family assembled for prayers jfor fear he might take it into his head to join irreverently in the responses. One evening, how ever, his presence happened to be unnoticed, and he was entirely for gotten. For some time he main tained a decorous silence, but at length, instead of "Amen/* out he came with "Cheer, boys, cheer!" On thia the butler was directed to remove him and had got as far as the door with him when the bird, perhaps thinking that he had com mitted himself and had better apolo gize, called out, "Sorry I spoke." The overpowering effect on the com pany may be more easily imagined than described. No Doctor's Bills In Japan. When a rich man calls in a physi cian, he does not expect that he will be presented a bill for medical serv ices. In fact, no such thing as a doctor's bill is known in Japan, al though nearly all the other modern Sracticeo are in vogue there. The octor never asks for his fee. The strict honesty of the people does not make this necessary. When he is through with a patient, a present is made to him of whatever sum the patient or his friends may deem to be just compensation. The doctor is supposed to smile, take the fee, bow and thank.his patron. - Great A?ueduet Builders.

Dubourg*s real name was Victor de la Cassagnc, a journalist of Hol land, who had taken the liberty of censuring the acta o? the king of t rance,- Louis XV. This criticism appeared in a public print at Frank fort. Although he was living be yond the borders of French terri tory at Leyden, in Holland, ho was not safe from the emissaries of Louis. The agents of tho royal po lice succeeded in gaining possession of his person and conveying him to Mont St. Michel. There he was confined in the cage. Touched by his supplications, the prior of the abbey consented to send a letter to his wife at Leyden, the mother of four children, ac quainting her with the faot that ho was alive, but entombed in the cells of Mont St. Michel. He was cer tainly entombed! Overcome by de spair and by the sufferings and pri vations which hs had endured, JJU bourg died in the night of Aug. 27, 1 746. In the morning his body was found almost devoured by a legion of rats. The state papers contain an ac count of the burial of "the body of a man named Dubourg, aged about 36 years, who died in a cage situated in the castle of the town, where he hui been detained by the order of his majesty." It is creditable to the humanity of Charles X that when he visited the island fortress as Count d'Artois in 1777 ho order ed the cage to be destroyed. This command was not carried out, though the cage was no longer used as a place of confinement until Louis Philippe visited Mont St. Michel in 1837, when he caused it to be broken up before his eyes. The present cage is a. restoration and exact representation of this ancient relic of barbaric tyranny. Gentleman's Magazine. Locust Porridge. The everyday life of a Basuto village is a very simple affair when compared with the life of a British village. Take, for instance, the food supply. Porridge is made of mealies and thickener! and flavored with sour milk (mafi) or herbs, and it is seldom that a Mosuto-Basuto \ in the singular becomes Mosuto comes to his meal leaving his appe tite behind. Another standard dish is locust porridge, a plentiful supply being kept up by the constant snowers of locusts, which are veritable god sends to the natives in a country where food is very scarce. The Ba- j suto collect tons and tons of these insects and carefully store them, | first pulling off tho heads and wings. As occasion requires, they place quantities in large pots and ? boil them until soft and pulpy, fla- j voring the porridge with fat and making it savory with salt. The locust to an unprejudiced European is not unpalatable, closely resembling the shrimp in taste, though scarcely so nice. Greatly os the Mosuto appreciates stewed locust, he likes still Detter the young green maize stewed and served with melted butter, and certainly not tho most fastidious could desire a moro ! delicious food.-Chambers' Journal. Eating For a Husband. When the parents of a young i man in Russia decide that a certain young lady would make a suitable mate for him, they, say nothing about the matter to any one, but on 1 some evening they will drop around unexpectedly to the prospective bride's home and will stay for sup per. During the meal they will keep a close watch on tho young lady. If she eats fat\ she will per form her work speedily; if she goes neatly and cleanly about her plate, she will perform her work neatly and cleanly; if she does not talk much, she will work and not talk and prove a faithful and obedient wife to her husband; if she prefers rye bread to white, she will bo satis fied with her lot; if she does not gaze and stare at the visitors, she will be a wife that will not continu ally pry into her husand's business, ?nd if she immediately proceeds to clean up the dishes after the meal she will bring prosperity to her hus band and will be economical with his money. ' Coff ca i Coffee drinking is a much more modern custom than tea drinking. It was first practiced in Arabia about the middle of the fifteenth century, when the story goes that the chief of a company of dervishes noticed that his goats frisked and played all night long whenever on the previous day they had eaten of a shrub growing wild in the neigh borhood. Finding it difficult to keep his disciples awake during thei** evening devotions, he prepared a beverage of tho leaves or berries of this shrub, and it proved so helpful to the midnight piety of the der vishes that from that time coffee came into use.

A Ghost That Had No Terror* FOP tho G feat hiatursllsL Cuvier was the first naturalist to make a study of the prehistoric beasts, birds and reptiles which once inhabited the globe and to attempt restorations of their complete selves from stray bones and fossil foot prints. Most unpleasant and terrific ani mals many of them turned out to be, and the idea occurred to a jocu lar student of the university that it would be good fun to appear at Cuvier's bedside at midnight in the character of the outraged and vengeful ghost of cue of them, dis pleased at the efforts of a puny man to construct its remains. So said, so done. The clover youth arrayed himself in a frightful costume, with Beales and tails and glaring eyes and horns and hoofs, .nd; secretly effecting sn. entrance into the naturalist's house, stole softly to his chamber. Ho waB sleop inir peacefully. Thc intruder wakened him by setting two hideous fore hoof s, upon the counterpane; then, as he stirred, blinked and started up, it remarked in hoarse and ghostly tones: "Cuvier, Cuvier! I've come to eat youl" But not even when half asleep could Cuvier be mistaken in the dis tinguishing characteristics of a carnivorous animal. He looked at the monstrous thing again. "Humph!" he muttered with sleepy contempt. "Horns-hoofs graminivorous. You can't!" The extinct monster retired, more extinct than ever, and the scientist returned triumphantly to his slum bers. Lord Eldon's Apology. On one occasion a junior counsel, on their lordships giving judgment against his client, exclaimed that he was surprised at theil decision. This was construed into a contempt of court, and thc young barrister was ordered to attend at tho bar the next morning. Fearful of the con sequences, he consulted his friend John Scott, afterward Lord Eldon, who told him to be perfectly at ease, for he would apologize for him in a way that would avert any unpleas ant result. Accordingly when the name of the delinquent was called Scott rose and coolly addressed the judges. "I am very sorry, my lords," he said, "that my yound friend has so far forgotten himself as to treat your lordships with disrespect He is ex tremely penitent, and you will kind ly ascribe his unintentional insult to his ignorance. You must see at once that it did originate in that. He said he was surprised at the de cision of your lordships. Now, if he had not been ignorant of what takes place in this court every day -had he known you but half as long as I have done-he would not bo surprised at anything you did." -Green Bag. The Absent Treatment. "This Christian Science bup'ness is all right," aoDOunced the fat mao, as tie sipped his cooling drink through the medium of a straw, "and the man who says it ought to be abolished doesn't know what he is talking about. That's right. I was opposed to it when my wife took it up, but at that time I didn't see the possibilities in it that I do now. Before the lady be came a convert to the fad it was be ginning to be a difficult matter for me to get a night off without exciting her suspicions, as all the old gags were about played out. Got anew one now and it's a beau! When I went home to-day for dinner, I announoed that I had a violent headache and would re main home for tho rest of the evening, although important work on my books needed my attention at the office, and that by good right I should spend the evening working on them. " 'Nonsense,' replied my wife, 'there is no such thing as headaohe; it is all imagination. Now you go right down to the office and I will give you absent treatment while you are at work, and the suddenness with which your headaohe will leave you will startle you.' "I pretended to protest; but she fairly pushed me out of doors and here I am with my headache all gone and the night ahead of me. Bat, say, the head I will have on me to-morrow will not be imagination! Get us two more barkeep."-Detroit Free Prc*?. A Liar's Truth. Two commercial travellers, one from ?therstone and one from New York, were discusing the weather in their respective countries. The English man said that English weather had one great fault-its sudden changes. "A person may take a walk sonic day," he said, "attired in alight sum mer suit, and still feel quite warm. Next day he needs an overcoat." "That's nothing," said the Ameri can; "my trc friends, JoVnson and Jones, were onee having an argument. There were eight or nine inches of i snow on the ground. The jument got heated, and Johnson picked up a snowball and threw it ? . Jones from a distance of not more than five yards. During thc transit of that suuwbail, believe me or not. as you like, the weather suddenly chanced and became hot and suromer-liko, and Jones, in stead of being hit with a snowball, was-er-scalded with hot water."
