THE HEROINES OF TONKIN.
A Splendid Temple to Two Girls
Who Won Enduring Fame.
A little ontsicle of the city of Hanoi,
in Tonkin, is a remarkably handsome
pagoda in which live twenty women.
They seldom leave their chosen home,
and they subsist upon the contributions
of visitors and upon some small revenue
which the temple receives from the Gov
eminent. Some of them are young and
pretty, aud in intelligence and attain
men s they are all above the common
pe >ple. They are recluses, and their
mission is to perform the work of the
temple and to keep a light constantly
burning before the life size sta ues of
two young women whose patriotic her
oism is thus honored, aud the memory
of their achievements aud martyrdom

hea 1 ts of the people, though they lived
nearly nineteen centuries ago. Their
career Arc. greatly resemb ed that of Joan of
In the year 80 of the present era,
Tonkin was suffering under the oppres
sive rule of China, who had driven her
legitimate kings from the throne. Ton
kin was a Chinese provim-e, ruled by
Chinese functionaries, and the people
groaned under a heavy yoke. Two
young sisters of noble family, named
Chin Se and Chin Eul, took advan
tage stir of the widespread Remarkable discontent
to up a revolt. tor
their energy and bravery, and splendid greatly
admired for their beauty and
horsemanship, they placed themselves
at the head of a volunteer army, and
drove the foreigners pell mell out of
Tonkin. For a time Tonkin was again idol
her own master, the sisters were
ized, and the people received them with
acclamations and gratitude.
The news traveled to Pekin of the
disgrace two women had inflicted upon
the Chinese arms, and the Emperor
Koang J i sent a great army under one
of his most famous soldiers to teach Ton
kin and her female generals a terrible
lesson. When the army reached Tonkin
the sisters and their warrior- met the
Chinese host on the frontier, and corn

skirts of the capital. The Tonkinese at

REWARDS OF INGENUITY.
What Small Inventors Have Done
in Making Fortunes.
The rubber tip at the end of lead pen
cils has yielded $100,000 in England.
A large who fortune has been reaped by a
miner invented a metal rivet or
eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat
or trousers pockets to resist the strain
caused by the oarriage of pieces of ore
I ! or heavy tools.
In a recent legal action it transpired
in evidence that the inventor of the
i metal plates used to protect soles and
heels from wear sold upward of 12,000,
000 plates in 1879, and in 1887 the
number reached 148,000,000, producing
realized profits of £1,250,000.
As large a sum as was ever obtained
for any invention was enjoyed by the
inventor of the inverted g ass bell to
hang over gas to protect ceilings from
being blackened, and a scarcely less
lucrative patent was that for simply
putting emery powder on cloth.
Frequently time and circumstances
I are wanted before an invention is appre
ciated; but it will be seen that patienre
is we 1 rewarded, for the inventor of the
roller skate made over $1,000,000, not
withstand ng the fact that his patent
had nearly exp red before its value was
ascertained.
The gim e:-pointed screw has pro
duced more wealth than most silver
pines, and the Ameri au who first
j ! thought of putting copper tips to chil
(Iren’s shoes is ns well off as if his father
had left him $2,000,000 in United States
j bonds.
Upward of $10,000 a year was made
by the inventor of the common needle
threader. To the foregoing might be
added thousands of trifling but useful
articles from which handsome incomes
are derived or for which large soms have
been paid. tietfer than
Few inventions pay popu
lar painted toys. A clergyman realized
$2,000 a week by the invention of a
strange little plaything to be semi for a
long time in every toy-shop wii«d >w and
even in the streets of London.
That favorite American toy, a “return
ball”—a wooden ball with au elastic
attached—yielded $50,000 the patentee and an m
come epial to $75,00 a year, an
ncome of no less than 1 per an
num to the inventor of the ‘Manning
Jem Crow.” The invention of “I’har
aoh’s serpents,” a toy much m vogue
some years ago, was the outcome of
some chemical experiments, and brought
the inventor more than $50,090.

The Barber's Foie.
The barber formerly was a surgeon as
t .|| as a barber, inasmuch as he practised
|q oot pietting. The pole was used by the
barber- surgeon for the patient to grasp
while his blood was let; aud a fillet oi
bandage was used for tying the arm.
When the pole was not in use, the tap
was twisted around it, and it was hung
out as a sign. Afterward, instead ol
hanging out the actual pole used in
operating, a pole w painted[with strip*
around it in mutation of the real pok
and its bandages; hence the barber’s
pole.— Lippinrott.
