A street boy of diminutive stature was trying to sell some very young kittens to passers-by. One day he accosted the late Rev. Phillips Brooks, asking him to purchase, and recommending mem as good episcopal kittens. Dr. Brooks laughingly refused, thinking them too small to be taken from their mother. A few days later a Presbyterian minister who had witnessed this episode was asked by the same boy to buy the same kittens. This time the lad announced that thev were faithful Presbyterians. "Didn't you tell Dr. Brooks last week that they were Episcopal kittens?" the minister asked sternly. "Yessir," replied tne boy quickly, "but they's had their eyes opened since then, sir."?Everybody s. It is told of the youth of a young German prince, many years ago, and presumably the present emper of German}', that upon one occasion, his tutor having been changed, the new-comer in examining the young prince asked, "Can your highness tell me how much is nine times twelve?" "Seventy-two,* replied the prince, with royal promptness. The tutor paled, but soon * recovered his equanimity. "Permit me to state to your highness that your highness former tutor, which I have had the honor to succeed as an instructor to your royal highness, an pears to have been a person of rather limited capabilities," he said.?Harper s Weekly. An Irishman on board a man-of-war was ordered to haul in a tow line. After pulling in forty or fifty fathoms, he muttered to himself: "Surely it's as long as today and tomorrow. It's a good week's work for any five in the ship. Bad luck to the leg or the arm it'll leave at last. What, more of it yet? Och murder! The say's mighty deep, to be sure!' After continuing in a similar strain, he suddenly stopped short, and, addressing the officer, exclaimed, "Bad manners to me, sir, if I don't think somebody's cut uu me uiuci eua 01 11: lis missing.

The bomb was left oa a table by a man in the uniform of a student and a waiter was killed and the cafe badly damaged by the explosion. It is said that the bomb outrage and the arrests were the outcome of a vast terroriest plot against the imperial family. India?Riots Over Religion: The prohibition by the police, in deference toHindu feelings, of Mohammedan sacrifices of cows led to serious riots at TStteghum, just outside of Calcutta. Troopswere summoned from Barrack Pur to quell the trouble, and were compelled to fire upon the rioters, several of whom* were killed and sixty seriously injured. Two hundred arrests were made. China?The Grand Chancellor Dismiss ed: Following the dismissal from office of Yuan Shi Kai, grand chancellor and commander in chief of the forces, ana the appointment of Na Tung as grand chancellor, an edict was issued appointing Liang-Tung-Yen customs toatai, to the position thus made vacant on the foreign board. The British and American ministers have reached an agreement that the dismissal of Yuan Shi Kai should not pass unnoticed. The American, British, German and Japanese ministers met again at the American legation, Sir John N. Jordan, the British minister, joining with Mr. Rockhlll, the American ministers, in# submitting an outline of representations which should be made to the foreign board. The min lsiers disagree on me question as 10 whether the welfare of foreign interestsIs technically Involved by the regents action, but they agree that peace is endangered. The representatives of Great Britain, the United States and Germanyview the regent's action as tantamount to an affront to the powers on account of Yuan Shi Kai's position abroad, hebeing recognized as a medium of fair and equitable treatment toward the nations. The dissenting ministers are of the opinion that unless other serious events occur, interferences would not be justified. Japan concurs in the opinion that the dismissal is certain to- result in inter national injury, but that representations to China would be difficult. There is a marked lack of unanimity among thediplomats in the present situation. The Court's Action a fortnight ago in increasing the palace troops und forbidding the entrance to the palace, even of the highest officials without passes, was taken as an indication at that time nf the alarm fait In ronrt rtn>leo anA It is now bel'eved that there was fear alsoof an anti-dynastic plot. Today the government intimated its intention of making public the impeachment, giving details of Yuan Shi Kal's alleged intrigue upon which his dismissal was based. According to reliable information th? impeachment is framed on charges
