killing some rioters, the strong possible
action of the powers, it is asserted,n
alone remedy the sitnation, which
has assumed the graveßt aspeot.
The edict is couched in such terms
that it leaves no doubt of the deep
sympathy of the throne with the
boxers, who are described a* “good
citizen?.” Besides denouncing Gen
eral Nieh for killing the bcwera, the
edict orders him to return wifh his
troops to Loopai, eighty miles from
the scene of the disturbances.
The special train that went out from
Tien Tsin to examine the line and
reconnoiter returned Saturday night.
The railway was found clear two miles
beyond Yang Tsu. The engineers with
the guards walked a mile and a half
further. They found the ties and two
bridges burned and the railway torn
up.

Seymour and staff, 650 British,Captain
McCalla’s 100 Americans, forty Italians

Jacky’s Prayer.
At the battle of Trafalgar a sailor
found kneeling by his gun, as his ship
was about to engage the enemy, was
asked by the first lieutenant If he were
afraid. “Afraid.” answered Jack, with
an expression of the utmost disdain;
“no, your honor; I’m only praying that
the enemy’s shot may be distributed
like the prize money—the greatest
among the officers.”

Daring.
This man is not In the habit of flirt
ing, but he really could not resist the
temptation the other day when he en
tered a corner grocery in the outlying
district. The pretty, red-cheeked girl
behind the counter looked so demure
and said, ‘‘Certainly, sir,” so sweetly
when he asked if he could use the tele
phone that he was tempted to use the
electric eonverser as the means of
throwing a complaint. Besides, had
not she encouraged him by a slight
arching of the eyebrowa and a coy
glance in his direction? Bhe was wait
ing on a neighboring housewife, who
was herself attractive enough to cause
more than passing attention. They
both laughed when he made a facetious
remark to his friend at the other end of
tho line.
“Where are you now?” asked the
friend.
“Why,” replied the audacious fellow,
“I’m out here in an east-end grocery
watching a pretty girl sell a dozen eggs
to a customer.
There was a sudden plunk and
splash, as the confused girl allowed the
paper sack into which she was count
ing the eggs to fall to the floor.
The proprietor of the grocery came
in from the rear at that moment, and
the young man escaped during the con
fusion.—Detroit Fret Press.
He Doesn’t Mean It.
When you henr a young man say: “1
don’t believe in a woman having any
thing to do but sit and read, or mani
cure her finger nails all day, I don’t
want my wife to be busy about any
thing,” why, of course, you know that
the young man is simply talking
against time. He doesn't mean a word
he says, and it is safe to warrant that
he is the first mn who would be bored
to death by such a girl. This young
man may like t® fancy that he is a
believer in such false sentiments, and
perhaps he does believe in them foi
the moment of saying. But this may
more than likely be only his way of
protesting against the wave of energy
which the girlhood of to-day Is re
sponding to, out of which perhaps may
come salvation even to man. Or else,
possibly, there is nothing more than
sly method in his old school assertion

Tbe Transvaal and the World’s Fair.
The visitors to the Paris Exposition
will see some curious exhibits in con
nection with the South African exhibit,
among fltim models of mines contain
ing ore glittering with diamonds and
gold.
It is commonly supposed that dia
monds and gold constitute the back
bone of South Africa’s mineral riches.
Asa matter of fact, nearly every min
eral known to science and nearly every
precious stone used by the Jeweller are
found in that country. In truth, South
Africa IS a mass of mineral from the
Cape to the Zambesi Kiver.
In the Kimberley district and east to
Bloemfontein, diamonds and natural
iron abound. To the northwest of this
district are the Witwatersrand gold
fields. On the Vnhl and Orange Rivers
magnificent asbestos, some of it six feet
long, can be had for the trouble of dig
ging.
Silver exists In all parts of the coun
try, but is mined only near Pretoria.
Copper has been mined in Namaqua
land since the seventeenth century, and
recently fine deposits have been found
in Mashoualand.
Lend is found in conjunction with
other metals in all parts. Zinc exists
in the Malmani district and antimony
has been mined near Barberton. Tin
is being mim'd at great profit in Swa
ziland, twenty-one pounds of the puro
metal being taken from every ton of
ore. Quicksilver has been discovered
in the north of the Transvaal.
Mica can be found in the Zoutpans
burg district, between the Selati nn(>
Great Letaba Rivers. Salt is plentiful
at Uitenhage, in the Cape Colony, at
Craddock and near Bloemfontein. In
Rhodasia sulphur is being mined and
in Natal oil has Just been discovered.
Nitrate deposits have been located in
the Doornberg Mountains.
Besides diamonds, amethysts, beryls,
