$ Tragedy of Yet Wing !
By Julia Tinltt Bishop.
... oprncM, 191, by aauora Bjadtoata.)
IT WAS a (rray day, with ruin about
to fall. Ming Harvey fluttered in
at the door ol the Chinese Mission,
clad in gray and pink, and with a bewitching-
childishness in her eye,
which she hoped might not lead to
the undoing of Fung Vet Winjr, who
was waiting for her at hie own espe
cial deal tuble. Yet VVlnv had a smile
of his own, and greeted hi r with it.
What Yet Wing's Mnile meant Miss
Harvey did not know, for she hud
been teaching him only two yearn;
and to learn anything about tin
pupils or the Chinese Mission one
must take time.
Yet Wing's bonks were In a neat
little pile before him; his white ctifls
were linked with gold buttons, hit,
immaculate collar was brought to
gi'Uier witn a salln tie, winch tva"
adorned with the pretty wishbone
pin she had given him for a Christ
mas present. Miss Harvey always
looked him over complacently, until
she came to the braid of long black
hair which was coiled in neut little
coil at the top of his hrud, with a
shaved area u II around it. .Miss Har
vey always felt that her hold on Yet
Wing lacked something of complete
ness while' that coil of hair topped
him olT so conspicuously.
"Oh, you are always early, Yet
Wing!" she cried, looking at him just
a little. These Chinese were so pe
culiar, and she was In a flutter wliei
she thought of the danger. It would
never do to encourage anything liki
that but now, were they to - be
blamed so dreadfully, if onee in
awhile they .(veil, If they really
learned to love some pretty girl who
chanced to lie their teacher? Nelthei
was the girl to blame for Uelng
pretty.
Not that Miss Harvey would have
this happen to her oh, not for
thotisnnd worlds. She would die of
mortification, she snld to herself n
she, puffed out the pink silk vest
Bt'le more and glanced at Yet Wing
.-"Yeli me conic ca'l-Jy," lie said
with the. same smile. "Me lukkee
lea'n."
In another minute Yet Wing wan
laboriously getting through the
lllble lesson for the day, each word
going off with a sharp explosion, not
unlike a train of fireworks:
"An Jeslss entled an' pass'
flou Jellcho.
An nee-noi ucwass a man
name' Zucchou-ns whlss wnss
de chief amonng da pulllcan
an' he wnss llch."
The fireworks exploded all along,
uown to tna end of the lesson.
' "Now do you know what that
means?" asked Miss Harvey.
"No me not iinnestun' Engllss,'
aid Yet Wing with calm readiness.
Miss Harvey did not understand
what It meant, either, so she put her
nesfl to one side and cried archly
"Oh, Yet Wing, what shall I do
with you if you don't try to under
stand? Well, here is your reader
com now, read this."
Yet Wing bent his celestial coun
tenance over the book and set an
other train of explosions going:
"Once dewass a man who
had "
"Now spell that next word," com
manded Miss nnrvey, in the coning,
kindergarten voice she had found so
effective with him.
"IM-e-t-t-y," spelled 'the pupil,
"rutty."
"And do you know what that
means?" chirped the teacher.
"Yen like yon." said Yet Wing, his
smne widening Into a grin.
"Like me! The Ideal" cried Miss
Harvey. It had cxnne at Inst-Just as
she feared. This was the Chinese
method of Informing a girl that she
was beloved. She had unwittingly
ruined Yet Wing's peace of mind.
How anxious she hnd been to avoid
this, all the Rumliiys she had come
here against her brother's wishes, to
sit beside the little deal table and
teach Yet Whig to read Illble lessons
he did not understand.
Hut while Yet Wing's poor little
foolish dream was destined to be
crushed, why should she wound him
unnecessarily? Why should she not
be as kind to him lis she could be un
der the circumstances?
She looked at hi in gently, yet with
melancholy. Perhaps she would ask
him next Sunday for her sake to cut
off that braid of hair. It would make
her glad, and yet sorrowful, too, to
know that he would do It without a
moment's hesitation. There was
something so pathetic about this
hopeless love a Chinaman - for a
lady of her station -and she must
be so careful not tit encourage hliu.
Her brother would be so angry -and
he had such a high temper, and was
so disgustingly brutal when he be
gan to talk shout -about the things
she did. Hut she would always say
that it was not her fault, and It was
not Yet Wing's. It was simply one
of those things that ciuild not be
helped.
"It lainin'," snlil Yet Wing, whose
oriental eyes were turned toward
the window.
"It rains every Sunday," snld Miss
Harvey, gently. "I shall have to
wait until my maid brings my um
brella and clonk."
"What he' wiinc?" asked Yet Wing,
with the guileless directness of his
race. She siiolcd sadly, lie was in
terested In ever) thing Hint pertained
to her.
"Her irime Is Annie, "snld Miss Har
vey, softly. "H--c Is the livnin. now.
Yet, Yli,( 'i I tie Cross.' Now sing
your heM (or my sake."

Yet Wing was presently throwing
great unction Into:
"Als-s-st an' did, my tlsvll4.
An' did my slovel die?
Would he leint 1st sscled head
Fo' slueb s wollae I?
Atte ciuss, atte oluss, whs'ss fluss ssw
elite "
Yet Wing frowned mightily while
he sang, for this Kiiglish was truly
a devilish language, and was not to
he sung without great enlargement
of the mouth.
It was all gone through with, even
to the Jerky concert of "Oil Fader
who aht -In he be 11 " and Miss Har
vey and her maid were hurrying
Homeward through the rain. Miss
Harvey justly felt that she must con
tide in some one or die.
"It has come about just as
feared, Annie," she said, tragically,
My pupil nas lias lost his mind,
suppose and Is half crazy about
about Me! Did yon ever hear of any
thing so absolutely preposterous?
Ihliik of It! A a Chinese laundry
innii! Wouldn't my brother be furl
oils?"
"Well, faith, an' It 'ud be a great
savin' of laundry bills," said Annie,
who was from up Ilelfast way, and
could see a bright side to everything.
Miss Hnrvey's just Indignation kept
ner scornfully alien until they had
reached home and gone into the side
door. While Annie shook out the wet
umbrella and stood it in the rack,
Miss Harvey glanced out of the win
dow and suddenly screamed and sat
down, clasping her hands.
"Look, Annie!" she cried; "look
nut of the window! Can that
is that Yet Wing?"
"It looks like the bilious heathen,"
said Annie, Indignantly, after a hasty
Inspection of the figure that stood
pensively under an awning on the
opposite side of the street. "A pret
ty subject he Is, to stand himself up
in front of people's homes! Shall I
go out an' shoo Mm away, Miss?
"Oh, that would be too cruel!"
monned Miss Harvey, walking up and
down and wringing her hands des
perately. "Oh, what shall I do? Was
there ever anything sn unfortunate?
He may begin to follow mo about
town and perhaps sing under the
windows he lias a very good voice
hut think how It would look. Oh,
how unfortunate I am, to have
perhaps If I had worn plainer
clothes to the Mission but now the
harm is done, and I will never for
give myself, never!"
"Well," suggested Annie, with an
eye at the crnek of the curtain, "your
brother'll he home pretty soon, an'
It's my belief that he'll throw the
brassy heathen over the courthouse.
An' anyway, the neighbors are rais
in' the windows, now."
Miss Harvey screamed.
"Oh, Annie," she cried, "go and call
him over and tell him that ha must
not stand there, looking at the house
that way. -Tell hi ill that It troubles
me Me and then I know he'll go."
Annie s trim figure disappeared;
and Yet Wing's teacher heard a
sound of voices, which presently
grew louder. She listened. Annie
was saving with spirit:
"You just wait till I get Mike Fin
ney a-holt o' you, you slantln'-eyed "
And at this point Anuie came back,
her face crimson.
'Them that wants the Chinaman
enn have him." she cried. Indliriiniit-
ly. "lie's settln' there on the steps
like he meant to wait for the crack
doom, an' If your brother comes
he'll think doom's cracked."
Tills horrible possibility decided
Miss Harvey. She puffed out the
pink vest, dabbed both eyes with a
little lace handkerchief, and went
drooplngly to the door. Yet Wing
still sat enthroned on the steps,
placidly looking at the rain.
Yet Wing," she murmured, weak
ly. Yet Wing arose and smiled.
'Hie comeu hack?" was his enig
matic question.
Yet Wing, yon must go away,"
whispered Mfss Harvey. "You must
not come to my house any more. I
am very sorry for you I hoe we
will be friends I shall still teach
you, Yet Wing"
You go alay!" retorted Yet Wing,
whom the gods had made mad. "Me
come nmlly pletty gu'l An-nes she
tlcach me. Me no llkee you fo'
tlcachee you too old. Me latt fo'
Annce."
When Miss Harvey went bark Into
the house where Annie was holding
the fort behind the sofa armed with
brooni, she walked very straight
and her look was severe.
'Has he gone?" questioned Annie,
tremblingly.
"lie has gone," replied Miss llar
y, drily. "Annie, yon need never
,iic to the Mission after me o"nin
I'i'irr again. I find that you have

And Miss Harrey went to her own
room, nml locked the door, and sst
Iowa in the corner furthest from the
mirror.

On the French side of the straita,

beaches by the sea after storms in
such quantities that their loathsome
bodies have been gathered up and
removed by hundreds of cartloads to
prevent them from endangering the
public health by rotting.
Many of these creatures have a
spread of six feet or more, the ten
tacles lielng three feet In length and
covered with suckers as big as 50-
cent pieces. Hut specimens have
been seen very much greater In size,
and Individuals are known sometimes

irresistible force. Onee fairly em

A process for rerolling steel rails
has been in usuge in the I'nited States
for several years. Worn-out rails are
rehiated and ri rolled, and are stated
to be superior for wear in that form

In the operation of dredging navi
gable channels ut the mouth of the
Moruya and Shoalhaven rivers, in New
South Waifs, it was discovered that
tiie mud contained gold dust. An an

to the dumping machinery, and it is
estimated that enough gold will thus
lie obtained to defray the expenses of
keeping t he channels open.
According to Prof. Spalding, the
white pine tree seldom attains a height
greater than 1G0 feet or a diameter of
more than 40 inches. A tree of this
variety once measured by the division
of forestry of the department of agri
culture was 17(1 feet tall and 4S inches
thick. That tree was 4110 years old.
It was a little sapling 50 years before

TRICRS WITH FLOWERS.
Color lekeme I'nknowa In tke Floral
World I'rndaeeal kjr tke l'e
of Chemicals.
The chemical expert has by no means
a monopoly of pretty experiments
evolving marvelous color schemes
hitherto unknown in the floral world.
One artist suggests a simple and in
teresting experiment which i espe
cially successful with pansies, aud
which a child1 may easily perform.
A saucer, a little ammonia, a flower
or two, and a glass tumbler are oil the
implements needed to enable one to
present a bunch of exquisite green
pansies to the uninitiated. Such a gift
is sure to awaken much enthusiasm
and test the ability of the recipient to
take a joke, says a New York ex
change. The viola tribe is easily influenced
by the application of chemicals to the
soil or by atmospheric conditions, and
hence is particularly susceptible tothe
, fumes of ammonia. A little of the
j liquid poured into a saucer, with a
bit of paper laid over it, on which to
rest the Mowers, ucts very quickly on
the chlorophyll, or coloring matter,
when the fumes the confined by a
tumbler. The rensou is this: Chloro
phyll is in its nature acid. The fumes
of ammonia, on the other hand, are
alkaline, an excess of which first neu
tralizes the acid present in the fresh
flower, alio then changes it to an alka
li. The effect of the alkali varies, of
course, according to the predominat
ing color of the subject.
Ifepeated experiments shows marked
tendency towurd green, simply tie
cause purple and blue are standard
colors among violas and are thus af
fected. A few interesting color changes
are: Shaded purple with white edge
is converted into green, with bine vein
ings uud yellow bonier; maroon
sn iped, dark green and blue; pale blue
becomes pale green; white always
tskes on a yellow tint, and a pretty
cerise conies out in vivid blue. Yellow
is unaffected.
Sweet peas are also fertile subjects,
and pungent fumes develop the unex
pected with a rapidity that on expert
hylu idier might envy. Some wonder
ful s mphonies In green are evolved
from pink and lavender creations.
Ammonia cannot be ssid to improve
nasturtiums, but surely produces cu
rious freaks. Yellow blotched red be
comes yellow blotched broiue green,
and a purely name red a spotted dark
green.
Th-re is, of course, no permanency ii
colors thus enforced. The most won
011 nn syuipnonies win iioiii their ow n
for a tune, but if placed iu water
the open air they will return to nor
mal coloring in a few hours.
