It ! Mirrored la the National Eihibtttoa at Kioto. Kioto, aptly termed the heart of Ju pan, and the most interesting and fusel noting city in the Mikado's domain is now holding a national exposition, This year is called the "Heiiuiseuto Ki nensai," and the fair commemorates the eleven hundredth oiiniversury of the establishment of the ancient capital at Aioto by the nitieth emperor or kwanmu. The qnamt old city, always a beehive of industry, is now busier than ever, nud from end to end is pro fusely decorated with banners and at night illuminated with colorod lights. From the top of every house flies the "rising snu" flag, and on the front of each is a luntern. While the exhibition as viewed by oc cideutal eyes is not grout or particularly extensive, it is full - of interest aud thoroughly representative of Japanese genius, handicraft aud industry. The buildings are large, airy and clean, and the grounds well kept aud admirably arranged. Though great crowds are here gathered, the utmost good order pre vails. The price of admission is only 6 sen, about o cents of American money. The exposition excels in fabrics, there being a very extensive display. Ono of the most interesting things is the crea tion of silk through the various stages, ENTRANCE TO KIOTO EXIUMTION. from the cocoon to the completed fabric. The embroideries, woudorfully rich, beautiful and artistic, are such as only the Japanese can produce. There is a splendid and attractive exhibit of ceram ics, iu which Japan kiads the world. Iu the art department are seen some ex cellent paintings, many of them origi nal, from the brushes of native artists. A dqiartment devoted to fish, fishing apparatus and boats is very complete, and attracts great attention. The extensive cereal display shown Japan 's wonderful agricultural rosonroes and the fertility of her soil. The exhibit of agricultural implements, however, is crude, and to an American seems ridic ulous, la machinery the display is also comparatively small, and there appears little that is new or suggestive. This department demonstrates the imitative faculty rather than inventive genius of the people, though there is in evidence strong determination to achieve better thing. ' Outside the grounds are a number of war rjrcloramaa, one representing the taking of Port Arthur.

A question that is causing tho treas ury department considerable bother just now is what to do with unregistered Chinamen. According to the official re port made by Commissioner Miller, 1 07, -000 had complied with the extended Geary law uud registered. OIHcial esti mates place the numlicr of Chinese in Ibis country at 110,000, so that it would appear that thero are now in tho United States 8,000 unregistered Chinese, ev ery one of whom, according to the law, must be sent out of tho country. There is uo money appropriated for the purpose, nud as it cwts fully f 75 per head to send Chinamen back to China from the United Htates the aggre gate amount required for the purixise will be quite large. In tho meantime, under circular instructions sent out by the treasury, any oiti.cn eiui apiear be fore a United .States commissioner nnd mako complaint against an unregistered Chinaman, nnd United Htates marshals aud customs officers aro by law directed to do so. Secretary Carlisle and Attor ney General Olnoy have tlm vexed ques tion under consideration and will prob ably make some official announcement on the subject shortly. Washington Post.

I'll give you my daughter, uud you shall deliver tome the marriage iortion iu return.

" Macavoy regarded Picrro with rich delight. He had an anctnons spirit, nud his heart was soft for women, so soft that ho never had one on his conscience, though he had brushed gay smiles otf tho lips of many with his own.

Wo were good friends, Ida and mo. I hud a hand in her wed ding. Holy, I knew her when bIio was a little girl! We could talk together by signs. She was a good womnu she hud never guessed at evil. She was quick, too, liko a flash, to read and understand without words. A face was a book tc her. "Very good! Ono afternoon we were nil standing outside tho post when we saw some one ride over the Long Divide. It was gixxl for tho eyes, I cannot tell quite how. But horse and rider were so sharp and clear cut against the sky that they looked very large and peculiar thero was something iu tho air to magnify. They paused for a moment on the top of the divide, and it seemed liko a messenger out uf tho strange country at tlm farthest north, tho place of legends. But of courso it was only n traveler like ourselves, for in n half hour she was with us. "Yes, it was n girl drossod as a man. She did not try to hido it. She had drossed so for ease. She wonld make a man's heart leap in his mouth if he was like Macavoy or the pinna Mowloy there." Pierro's last throo words hud a touch of irony, for ho knew that the trnpper had a precious tongue, for Scripture when a missionary passed that way and a bad name with women to (rive it point. Mowley smiled sourly, but Mac avoy laughed outright nnd smacked his lijw on his pipe stem luxuriously.

Handsome enough she looked, for nil that, in man's clothes and a m nked cap, with a pistol in her belt. Sho wasn't big built just n feathery kind of sapling but she was set fair on her legs like a man, uud a hand that was as good as I have seen, so strong and fine, and like silk and iron with a horse. Well, what was the trouble, for I saw that there was trouble? Her eyes had a hunted look, and her nose breath ed lilio a divr's in tho chase. All at once, when sho saw Hilton's wifo, a cry came from her, nnd sho reached out her hands. "What would women of that sort do? They wero both of a kind. They got into each other's arms. After that thero three of himself, in spito of bin own great height. For the others, they did not know, and if they had lived with Pierro all their lives they would never have understood him.

Piorre nodded nt Macavoy ploasuntly, for after his fashion he cared for the gi ant, uud a little inim loves tho admira tion of a large man, as Pierre himself had said more than once. Ho knew man's vanity nnd his own weaknesses. But ho turned his looks on the trapper now, for it wns his way to conquer nt tho points of great disadvantage, not by many wonders showing, but by a deep persistence uud a singular personal force. "Sho slept for three hours, I got the two horses saddled. Who could tell but she might need help? I had nothing to do. I knew the shortest way to Fort Micnh, eveiy foot, nud thou it in good to be ready for all things. I told Hil ton's wifo what 1 had done. Sho was glad. Shu made a gesture nt me ns to a brother and then began to put things iu a bug for us to cany. Site hud set tled nil how it was to be. She had told the girl. Yon see, a man maybe what is it they call me? a plunderer, and yet a woman will trust him, comme ca!" . , "Aw, yis, aw, yis, Pierre, bnt she know yer hand an yer tongue uiver wint ng'iu a woman, Pierre. Naw, uiv er a wan aw, swato she was, wid a heart a heart, Hilton's wife! Aw, yis!" Pierre waved Macavoy into silence. "The girl waked after three hours, with a start. Her hand caught nt her heart 'Oh!' she said, still staring nt ns. 'I thought that they had come!' A little after sho and Hilton's wifo went into another room. All at once there was a sound of horses without and then a knock nt tho door, and four men enter ed. They wore the girl's huutors. It wan hard to tell what to do all iu a minute, but I snw at once the best thing wns to act for all and to get all the men inside tho house. So I whispered to Hil ton nud then pretended that I was a great man in the company. I ordered Hilton to have the horses cared for, aud not giving tho men time to speak I fetched out tho old brandy, wondering what could bo done. There wus no sound from tho other room, though I thought I heard u door open once. Hil ton played tho game well and showed nothing when I ordered him ubout und lied with mo when 1 said no girl h-d toiled over flint velvet powder. As we reached the farther side I felt that it was beginning to move. The sun was showing like the lid of nn eye along the plain. I looked back. All four horsemen wero iu the sand, plunging on toward us. By tho time wo touched the brown green prairie on tho further side the sand was rolling behind us. The girl had not looked back. Sho seemed too dazed. I jumped from the horse and told her that she must push on alone to the fort; that Tophct could not carry both; that I should be in no danger. She looked at me, I cannot toll how, then stooped and kissed me between the eyes. I have never forgotten. I struck Tophct, and she was gone to her hnppi ne.ss, for sho reuched the fort and her lover's arms. "But I stood looking back upon the Jumping Sand hills. So was there ever a sight liko that those hills gone like a smelting floor, the sunrise spotting it with rose uud yellow and three horses and their riders fighting what cannot bo fought. What could I do? They wonld have got tho girl if I had not led them across, uud they would have killed me if they could. Only one cried out, und thou but once, iu a long shriek. But after all three were quiet us they fought until they were gone where no man could see, where none cries out sc we can hear. " Tliero was a long pause, painful tc bear. Tho trader sat with eyes fixed humbly as a dog's on Pierre. At last Macavoy said: "She kissed ye, Pierro aw, yis, she did that! Jist betnue the eyes. 1)0 yes iver see her now, Pierre?" But Picrro, though looking at him, made no answer. Hilliort Parker. A WONDERFUL JOURNEY. come, laughing when they told why they woro after her. More than one did not believo nt first ; but, pshaw I what havo I boon doing all my lifo to let such fellows doubt me? So tho end of it was that I got them all insido tho house Tliero was one thing their horses were all fresh, as Hilton whispered to me. They had only ridden them a few miles. They had stolen or bought them at a ranch to tho west of ns. I could not pinko np my mind what to do. But it Wns clear I must keep them quiet till something shaped. "They wero nil drinking brandy when Hilton's wife entered the room. Her face was, moil Dion, so innocent, so childlike! Sho attired ut the men, and then I told them she was deaf and dumb, and I told her why they had come. Voila, it wns beautiful liko nothing you ever saw! She shook her head so innocently and then told them like n child that they were wicked to chase a girl. I could havo kissed her was nothing for ns men but to wait ! Tonnere, how she fooled them! Nio said would they not search the house? Sho said nil through me, on her fingers and by signs. And I told thorn at once. But ulio told mo something else that the girl had slipped out as the last man camo in, had mounted the chestnut and wonld wait for me by the All women are tho same, and Hilton's wifo was liko the n-st. She must get ' the secret first; then tho men should know. We had to wait nu hour. Then Hilton's wifo beckoned to us. We went inside. Tho girl wns asleep. There wns something in the touch of Hilton's wify like sloop itself, like musio. It wan her voice, that touch. She could not speak with her tongue, but her hands and faco wore language and music. Bien, tliero was the girl asleep, all clear of dust nnd stain, and that flue band. It lay loose on her brenst, so qniet, so quiet. En fin, the mil story, for how she lay there does not matter, but still it wax good to see when we knew the story." Tho trapper was laughing silently to himself to hear Pierre in his romantic mood. A woman's hand it wus the game for u boy, not an adventurer, for Two KiiHsinna Who Are Keturnliia; From a Vliit to La sua, the Sacred City. One of the most remarkable journeys ever made overland across Asia has just been completed successfully by two Cal uiuck Tartars from tho province of As trakhan, Russia, on tho Volga. They actually lmulo their way across Siberia into Tibet and entered the sacred city of Lassa, which Rockwell and Miss Taylor saw from a distance. They also taw the Dalai Lama face to face. If these men had had any scientific train ing, the world would bo fur richer by their observations of a comparatively unknown territory, but they noticed very littlo on their journey und seemed to be mainly intent on securing a sup ply of religious books nt Lassa and on reaching their homes again as speedily as possible. The travelers are Budwa Moiikudjin o!f and Surangu Uhuioff. Both are Mon gol Buddhists and speak the Mongol language fluently. In talking of their journey they said that Menkudjiuoff, being a Lama, decided to go to Lassa to get a supply of books and prayers that could bo vouched for us genuine, and Uhinoff, a neighbor, agreed to ac company him. Throe years ago they left home. They could give only scanty details of their trip, but tho journey across the great mountains und elevated plateau was terrible, even to thoso hardy men, in ured to extreme cold. It took 14 months of constant traveling to reach the sacred city. In crossing what has been aptly called "tho roof of tho world" they passed over mountains so high that the blood flowed from their ears aud eyes. It wns so cold, even in midsummer, on these great heights that they woro dou blo coats of bearskins. In crossing the great desert they met no one except a band of robbers iu four weeks. Finally they reached tho sacred city. They concealed the fact that they were Russians, us they knew that if any one suspected them of being foreigners they could never hope to gain admission to tho city nnd its temples. They gave out they wore .Mongols, und ns they both spoke tho langnuge they had no trouble in sustaining tho disguise. Tliey were received by tho venerable Dalai Lama j and worshiped before him. Ho seemed ; much gratified by their piety and their desire for literutura With his own I j hand he gave them a Buddhist Bible in I 1J0 volumes, which was worth in Lassa 1,000 ounces of fine Bilver. They From the Record, Philadelphia, fa.) Lust July tho Episcopal hospital ad mitted a woman whoso palo nud emaci ated fuoe aud racking oough proclaim ed her the victim of consumption. She gave her name as Mrs. Sallio (4. Bowcu, wifo of Win. (4. Bowen, resi dence 1840 Meighau Street, Phila delphia. The case was diagnosed uud she was told plainly that she wan in nn advanced stage of consumption. The examining physician even showed her tho sunken place in her breast where the cavity iu bur lung wus supposed to exist. She went borne to her family a broken, disheartened woman with death staring hor iu the face. That was tho beginning of the story. The end was told by Mrs. Bowen, who no longer expeotn to die, to a reporter who visited her home. "The first symptoms of consumption came in the form of terrible sweats, both night nud day. From April until September I wns constantly cold and kept wrapped up in blaukotn through tho hottest weather. A terrible cough took possession of mo, my brents were noro to tho slightest touch, and my limbs were like cold clay. The hard' est rubbing with the coarsest towel would not creato the slightest flush, and the least exertion would so exhaust me that I oould barely gasp for water. "I went to tho hospital iu July aud they diagnosed my case as above stated. It was when the clouds were the dark est that tho first glint of HUUBhinecaine. Mr. Shelmerdiue, a friend who lives around ut 1844 Clementine street, said to me one day, 'Mrs. Bowen, did yon ever try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People?' I had never heard of the medicine, but iu my condition could not tnru a deaf ear to anything that offered relief. It was after con siderable thought aud investigation that I concluded to discontinue all the medicine I wun taking, including cod liver oil, nnd depend entirely upon Pink Pills. I began to take the pills, at first with but little encouragement The first sign of improvement was a warmth and a tingling sensation in my limbs. Finally the oough disappeared, my chest lost its soreness and I began to gain flesh until I was fifteen pounds heavier. All this I owe to Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills, and I cannot praise them too highly." Mrs. Bowen is a kindly faced lady of middle ago, a church member well known and highly esteemed. She. looks today well and strong, nnd it seems almost impossible that she was ever given up by eminent physicians as an incuruble consumptive. Yet such is the case beyond all dispute. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life uud richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Com pany, Schenectady, N. Y., for 50o per box, or six boxes for $2.50.
