' Tu?y aro very poor shooting, but i rcuv i'riton must have sport of j ?orne kine!, and shooting those birds ls tho only sport in sight. "Ono day an Englishman let drive at a snipe ono hit a Chinaman, who had just bobbed out from behind a tombstone. The charge of shot struck the coolie in his wrist, put ting bis hand out o*' business. ''*0f course the Chinaronn made a roar. Tho Briton, wanting to do tho square thing, offered to pay the damage. The cf?oly demanded $10. The Englishman generously made it $16. "There waa nevei . any good hunt ing in the gravey??d after that. Whenever an Enclin-mau was seen approaching, a Chinaman hid be hind every gravestone. **With marvelous cleverness they'd manage to get in range just when the Briton fired. If ono of them had the luck to get two or three birdshot in his system he would come out, roar and collect. "Of course this drove away the snipe, but the coolies took to catch ing birds, tying them by the leg to gravestones and hiding themselves in holes, from which they could rise and get shot at the proper moment. The Englishmen had to stop hunt ing. It was too expensive. . ?'?me of the pleasant and refined Chinese tortures is crushing the ankle, y There are coolies in ' hang h ai who keep a standing c er to submit to thia torture for the beno ni of tourists at a rate of $5. ?vfT'know of several cases where thia offer has been accepted.

Ile finds much to do in giving comfort and coun sel, christening tho infants that have been born during tho winter, preaching funeral sermons and unit ing tho betrothed, who await him at tho fishing stations. Landing at tho Seal islands once, ho found an assemblage clad in its level best at the houso of the "king," or leading factor, for tho king, having buried four wives, had resolved to toko a fifth, and ho had gathered tho neighbors'to witness his joy in the acquisition. There aro not many neighbors in Labrador,' but there were enough in this instance to fill both rooms of his houso. When tho bishop had bien warmed and welcomed and was prepared to speak the words that would fill the Seal islands VT*. S re joicing he discovered tb??t ?he . .?ion woe impossible because the L 'de and bridegroom were too nearl; re lated. ; "Tho church forbids thia match/' he declared, and great was tho sen sation. The bride sank down in tears of mortification and temper, and tho bridegroom scratched his head in bewilderment. Something had to be done, and quickly, for it might bo a year before a clergyman appeared on that coast again. "Oh, well, there's plenty of oth ers/' said the king, brightening as he surveyed his guests. He turned to a woman in tho company and asked;"Will you have me, Lizzie?" "Not for a gift 1" exclaimed the guest indignantly. - w iii you have me, J ano ?" "Not if you were tho last mon on Labrador. , "How for you, Moggart ?" , "Never 1" Tho king looked ruefully over the wedding party and, spying tho cook Qt tho far side of tho room, march ed over to her resolutely, seized her by the arm, saving, "Come along, Sue; you'll dpi" dragged her, nona too willing, before the bishop, and they were married.-Youth's Com? .
