"Do you like it? the author inquired of the general. "Haven't read it. Is it meant to read?" "Why, yes," "Wish you'd told me so before. I keep it hanging up in my dressing- room, and tear off a page every morning to wipe my razor on," ".

The secret is that of a combination of chemicals in a vacuum. The chemicals are placed in a globe; they dissolve, and when their fumes fill the glob: it is sealed.

The pilgrims have spread a report that the Viceroy Chang has confiscated all this gold and is about to use it to pay the foreign indemnity. At present this is the subject most talked of in the tea and wine shops in the Ngan- lulu district and the Viceroy is consequently not very popular with the people who believe the report.
