its giant-killer. We have our giants in

supposed to be incurable. Our Jack: is
in the form of Dr. Pierce, who has
proven the expression "incurable dis

FALL OF A DYNASTY.
Prophecy Foretelling the End of the Pres
ent Ruling: House of China.
Reports of a serious revolt against
the present Chinese government in
Manchurin, and the issue of proclama
tions by the rebels declaring that the
Manchu dynasty is near its end, have
created a great deal of interest among'
the foreign colony in the treaty ports,
says the Shanghai correspondent of the
New York Sun. News that bears di
rectly upon the reported disaffection
in many provinces of China comes from
Nanking. It appears that all up
through the preat valley of the
Yangtse a finely written prophecy of
the approaching; end of Manchu rule is
being1 circulated. It is almost impos
ible for a foreigner who has not lived
in China to understand the importance
that is given by tha gentry to any
thing" which is well written or care
fully printed. If such a document
docs not strongly violate the proba
bilities it will be accepted as gospel
truth.
This prophecy appears to be firmly
believed by all the Chinese who have
read it. It purports to have been writ
ten by Huan-Peh-Shan, who, in a vi
sion, describes the downfall of the pres
ent government. It shows considera
ble literary ability, but anyone who is
skeptical may readily see that the au
thor has thrown in local detail to clinch
his prophecy.
The sketch of the emperors of China
is very well done, but this historical
introduction appears to have been
written merely to lull the suspicions of
the reader and to induce him to accept
the sensational statements about the
coming ruin of the Manchu dynasty.
The prophet declares that the great
provinces of Yunan and Kiieichou are
the first that will abandon the empire.
After this China will be divided into
three kingdoms, but this will not take
place and permanent peace will not be
secured until the woods are cleared
from Purple mountain and the waters
of Lotus lake are dried up. The spc
cious nature of such a prophecy may
be seen when it is stated that al'out all
the forests has been cut oil of Purple
mountain, while in dry years one may
walk over the bed jof Lotus lake,
v.-hich is converted into solid ground.
Any season of drought may, therefore,
be taken by the conspirators with the
assurance that the two main items of
this prophecy will be iound fulfilled.
In Hunan there is deep feeling
against the present dynasty, because of
its favors shown to foreigners. Hunan
is the seat of a set of fanatics who
would rejoice to see every European
thrown out of China. In this province
have occurred the worst outrages on
Christian missionaries, . and - anyone
journeying up the Yangtse retains
vivid recollections of the showers of
stones and obscenity that descended
upon his house boat from the neighbor
ing banks. Intercourse with f oreigrn
crs seems only to intensify the popular
hatred ' of the European interlopers,
who, they think, are enco.uraped by the
young emperor and his advisors. The
worst feature cf the situation is that
the central government does not dare
to rebuke the insolence of the Hunan
people.
AGRICULTURE IN OTHER LANDS.
A school, of practical agriculture has
been established in the province of
Buenos Ayres, under direction of the
Argentine government. This is the
first institution of the kind in that
country, and great hopes are enter
tained of its elevating influence on ag
riculture in Argentina.
Dried peat or turf, cut from "bogs, is
largely used for fuel throughout Eu
rope. Some' of it is molded much as
bricks are, and it is also pressed into
compact balls. One - hundred pounds
of peat have a heating 'capacity equal
to fifty pounds of hard coal, or to near
ly one hundred weight of wood or soft

Tea culture in British India and
Ceylon has proved quite successful
from a cultural point of View, but its
commercial success depends upon in
creased - markets for the product.
America and Australia are regarded
with interest1 by Indian and Ceylon
planters as possible .buyers of their
surplus.
An Agricultural Organization socie
ty has been formed in Ireland, largely
through the efforts of Hon. W. L.
Plnnket, son of the archbishop of Dub
lin. The avowed aims and purposes of
the society are somewhat similar to
the gTange' of the American farmers,
and is full of promise for the agricul

THE SPARROW AND THE. CLOCK.
A Strange Story Told at 'the Paris Poly
. technic School.
A French paper tells the following
strange story of a sparrow and the
clock - at the Polytechnic school- of
Paris: ;
In 1819 the Swedish scientist, Ber
selius, during his stay in Paris, went
to the school to make some experi
ments in physics and chemistry before
the pupils. TO show the necessity of
air in the respiration of ' animals he
placed a sparrow under the receiver of
the air pump and created a vacuum.
At the moment when the bird was
about to die for want of oxygen, the
cry of "Mercy! MercyP echoed from all
sides of the amphitheater. Be'rzelius
acquiesced in the decision of his hu
mane audience and released the bird,
which flew at once out" of the hall.
After that day a strange thing hap
pened and kept on happening. Every
Wednesday and Sunday, at the moment
when the great hand of the . clock was
within one minute of ten, and would in
sixty seconds mark the. fatal hour of
leaving the playground and entering
school, an obstacle seemed ' to stop it,
and the astonished doorkeeper noticed
that this last minute had an inconceiv
able length. .'. . .
..The fact was nojfted again and again,
and a watch was set', to discover the
cause. Then it was ascertained that
the happy delay, was caused by a spar
row which, at the precise second, had
lighted on the hand of the clock. Of
course it was Berz'elius' sparrow!
Now comes the sad and unnecessary
part of the story. The doorkeeper one
day covered the hands with some
sticky substance, caught the grateful
bird and put it to death. The school
gave it a superb funeral and it was
buried in a corner of the great court.
That day the clock, which had evident
ly been a party to the conspiracy, re
ceived the name of Berzelius.
HOME LIFE IN PARIS.
The Typical Household Is Kedolent of
Domesticity.
Life in Paris means what it does in
all large cities; the good and the bad.
The casual tourist sees, as a rule, only
one side. As a race, the French are a
merry-making people; their . very na
tures seek and crave enjoyment. But
their amusements are, therefore, not
necessarily of an. order below the ken
of respectability. It has been my pleas
ure to see something of French do
mestic life, says a New York lady, and
to hear more of it from sources away
from prejudice. The affection which
exists between the French father and
his daughter is beautiful and almost
spiritual. Home and family means as
much to him as it does to the resident
of any other city under the sun.
The French mother is not ohly a cook
par excellence, but a perfect type of
housekeeper. By nature she is quick,
and she accomplishes much more with
less exertion than does her English
sister. ' The education of her children
is as a gospel to her. Her religious
faith is strong, and she instills it into
her children at the domestic board and
at eventide. . The parents live out of
doors, but it is rare, indeed, that you
see children on the streets of Paris
after reasonable hours. They ' are
taught to find their chief amusement in
the home; and everything is done by
the French father and mother to see
that the home is attractive to their
children. One of the most beautiful
si-rlits in the, world is to sec a well
regulated French family, where you
will find the atmosphere redolent with
domesticity.
THE PRiCt: OF A WIFE.
Savages Place a Varying; Valno Upon Their
Ciiosen IJelpmatns.
In the earliest times of purchase a
woman was bartered for useful goods
or for services rendered to her father.
In the latter way Jacob purchased
Rachel and her sister Leah. This was
a Iieena marriage, where a man, as in
Genesis, leaves his father and his
mother and cleaves unto his wife and
they become one flesh or kin the
woman's. The price of a bride in Brit
ish Columbia and Vancouver island
varies from twenty to forty pounds
sterling's worth of articles. In Oregon
an Indian gives for a wife horses,
blankets or buffalo robes; in California,
shell money or horses; in Africa, cat
tle. A poor Damara will sell a daughter
for one cow; a richer Kaffir expects
from three to thirty. With the Banyai,
if nothing bo given, her family claim
her children. In Uganda, .where no
marriage recently .existed, she may be
obtained for half a dozen needles, or a
co.it, or a pair of shoes. An ordinarv
price is a box of percussion caps. In
other parts, a goat or a couple of buck
skins will buy a girl. Passing to Asia,
we find her price is sometimes five to
fifty rubles, or at others, a cartload of
wood or hay. A princess may be pur
chased for three thousand rubles. In
Tartary, a woman can be obtained for.
a few pounds of butter, or where a rich
man gives twenty small oxen a poor
man may succeed with a pig. In Fiji,
her equivalent is a whale's tooth or a
musket. These, and similar prices else
where, are eloquent testimony to the
little value a savage sets on his wife,
lie Had a Bite.
. Mr. Jones keeps a toy shop, and. among
other various things, sells fishing rods,
writes "Blackshirt" in the Algiers
Democrat. For the purpose of adver
tising them he has a large rod hanging
outside, with an artificial fish at the
end of it. Late one night, when most
people were in bed, a man who was
rather the worse for his night's enjoy
ment happened to see this fish. He
looked at it, and then went cautiously
up to the door and" knocked gently
Jones did not hear this, but after the
man had knocked a little louder he
appeared at the window up above.
"Who's there?" said .Jones. "Don't
make a noise," said the man, in a whis
per, "but come down as quietly as you
can.". At this request Jones, who had
recently been robbed, thought there
must be something the matter. So he
he dressed and came down ss quietly as
possible. "What is the matter?" he
asked. "Sh!" . said the man. "Pull
your line in" quick; you've got a bite."
