CHINESE CARPENTER'S FEAT.
Method of Mending Hole In a Floor
Astonished Caucasian.
"Did you ever get a Chinese car
penter to stop up a hole In the floor?"
asked one fiat dweller of another. The
other had to admit that he had not,
ays the New York Times. Then the
first proceeded to tell his wonderful
tale, which the listener would not be
lieve until he tried an oriental for the
same purpose the next month.
"There was a worn place In the
Boor that needed patching and 1
thought I'd show my wife what a car
penter I was, so I sawed a square sec
tion of the plnnka out. Hut I cut
my hand the first minute and had to
end for the Chinaman, who has a
, shop right around the corner. When ha
got to the door he grunted something
that sounded like It might mean
Where?1 and I pointed to the square
bole In a dark corner.
"'Wow,' he said as he squinted at
It a minute. Then he turned around
jmd walked out. I thought well, I
didn't know what to think, I wa so
amazed. I couldn't understand his
giving up such a simple job. I was
till puzzling over It half an hour
later when I heard n knock. He said
'wow, or soino other word like It and
held up a square board. Then lie
walked over to the dark corner of the
room and what do you think? He
put the square In and It fitted just ns
If It bad grown there. And heJiad just
taken a peep at the bole from where
be was standing In the door."

lba School Principal Talks About Food.
The Principal of a High (School In a
flourishing California city says:
"For 23 years I worked In the hebool
with only short summer vacations. I
formed the habit of eating rapidly,
masticated poorly, which coupled with
my sedentary work led to lndlgestiou,
liver trouble, lame back and rheuma
tism. "I'pon consulting physicians somo
doped me with drugs, while others pre
scribed dieting and sometimes I got
temporary relief, other times not. For
1-' years I struggled along with this
handicap to my work, seldom laid up,
but often a burden to myself with
lameness and rheumatic pains.
"Two years ago I met an old friend,
physician who noticed at once my
out-of health condition and who pre
scribed for me an exclusive diet of
Grape-Xuts, milk and fruit.
"1 followed bis Instructions and In
two mouths I felt like a new man

Judging from my i r.snt vigorous

and we shall maintain It. Wo have no Interest except thnt
the war may end speedily; we have no concern except that
It may not bring Into the struggle auy of the other nations
which are noto content. I'nder no circumstances that I
can conceive Is there danger to the peace of our own coun
try. Our new navy, which constitute all of the effective
navy of to-day, was begun during the administration of
President Arthur and under the direction of his two sec
retaries of the navy. Hunt and Chandler. It was continued
during the two administrations of President Cleveland un
der the direction of Srcro'.nrios Whitney nnd Herbert. The
lamented Whitney once said:
"This country can afford to have, and It cannot nfford
to hick, a naval force at lc:ist so formidable that Its deal
ings with foreign powers will not be Influenced at any time
nor even be suspected ni being Influenced by a conscious
ness of weakness on the s-vi." And again: "It Is of little
service to a nation to havr any navy at all unless It Is a
fair expression of the highest scientific resources of its
day."
I have not lost hope that the policy of Increasing our
power tiK)n the sea will be maintained, no matter which
party may be In control of the national administration.
MARRYING WITHOUT M3NIY.
0
Theoretically, at least, most people will agree
that to marry solely for worldly gain Is a menu
and despicable deed. Those who apparently mar
ry for money would 1:0 doubt unanimously repel
the accusation with Indignation, and claim that
they have but followed the advice which Tenny
son's northern .armor gave to hi son to "gon
wheer the munny is." Poets and romancers usu
ally portray I lie mercenary suitor as a villain of
the deepest dye, and 11 popular wo. nun's magazine which
recently held a symposium u;ion the subject of what men
most desire In a wife announced triumphantly that of all
tlie men who replied to the query not one mentioned money
as a requisite qualification.
None the less there are a few people, middle-aged and
prudent persons for the most part, who do not hesitate
to aver tbut It Is almost ns bad a thing to marry without
money. These sage e!d"rs have been taught by experience
that dally bread Is nu absolute necessity to life; they have
loomed thnt milk and honey, or what stands for them
nowadays, are not to be had without money and without
price, and they argue that It Is quite as selfish to think
only of the present, and take no thought of the morrow,
careless of others in either case, as It Is to prefer the com
fort of to-morroy to the passion of to-day. No man hns
the right to nsk n woman to marry htm unless he can fitly
cherish her; no woman nhould mnrry her lover, however
eager he may be, when she knows that ho must struggle
to keep his own head above wnter, without the additional
burden of her support. What Is enough for one Is not
ATTACKS THE BIBLE.
Knicliah Canon Calls the Old Testament
u Pack of Lie.
Canon Henson, one of the chief dig
nitaries of Westminster Abbey and a
select preacher of Oxford and Cam
bridge Universities,
England, has
raised a Ktorm of
criticism by the
publication of an
article wherein he
attacks the Inspira
tion of the Old Tes
tament, referring
to Its "Incredible,
puerile or demornl
Icing narratives,"
iitv. u. 11. ui.ninoN. which are regarded
ns being "a pack of lies too gross for
toleration." He declares thnt Inspira
tion I not allowed to certify to tho
truth of any statement lu the ltlble
"which cannot bo substantiated nt the
bar of reason and evidence." In the
New Teatnmcnt he finds little to offend
reasou or conscience, "but, whether
much or little, It will have to go the
way of the Old Testament prodigies."
In an analysis of the present social
condition, Canon I Ion son attributes the
spread of anarchy, the "ulcer that Is
eating the vitals of society," to the
disappearance over largo areas of civil
ized life of "the religious basis of mo
rality." Vet he find an excuse for
these "nonmoral multitudes" who
"from the cradle to the grave have
faced the severe pressure of competi
tion, the squalor and poverty and the
miserable exigencies of unmerited
want," and who "inevitably compare
their condition with the ostentation of
unearned wealth, the profusion and
unchecked luxury and tho lnsoleuce of
unchastened power."
The canou stiys that when It Is re
membered that theBe "cruel, shocking
contrasts are no longer regarded with
the dull stare of fatalistic Ignorance,
but lu tho full light of those doctrines
of equality which are tho common
places of democratic politics? It Is no
wonder that "the minds of thousands
are predisposed toward the sophistries
of anarchy."
"It would be idle to deny," lie con
cludes, "that the credit of the Scrip
tures Is seriously shaken In the public
mind, nor can It reasonably be doubted
that tho tendencies of popular life :
at present prevailing are In the main
hostile to Christian tradition."

CABK01.1. v. wiuoiiT duty should not be employed. It was
soon seen that this meant nothing whatever, and so the
next movement was to prohibit the employment of men
who were habitual drinkers even In slight degree.
This movement has spread over the country. The pub
lic Is interested as much ns the railroads themselves. The
sufety of travel and the avoidance of disaster concerns
the whole people, and thus the economic value of the prohi
billon has been felt In every direction. It now extends to
private and corporate concerns which desire to run their
establishments with as little friction and as little loss as
possible. The common and statutory laws which make em
ployer liable In some degree and under certain circum
stances for the carelessness of their employes are a most
powerful Incentive to the employment of men with clear
heads. . Thus economically again the movement acquires
strength.

see a prize fight than hear me sing. I thought I under

now. In fact, as I see America with my eyes opened I
find It a most undesirable place. There Is little hero to

how I have been subjected to the prevalent vulgarity of

CRUISER AGA.rO A FLEET.
k4 , Air
The battle of Chemulpo, Korea, In which the Russian cruiser Variag and
the guubont Korleta faced an over-powering Japanese fleet, furnishes one of
the most gallant conflicts against odds in the history of naval warfare.
On tho morning of Feb. l Hear Admiral Urlu, commanding the Japan
ese fleet at the entrance to Chemulpo, notified tho Kussiau that they must
surrender or leave tho harbor at noon. If this demand were not compiled
with, the Japanese admiral stated that ho would enter the harbor and lnk
the Russian vessels where they lay. The Russian commander faced the
situation manfully. The Variag was only n protected cruiser of 0.0(H) tons,
while tho Korletz was of only 1.213 tons displacement, yet he steamed boldly
out of the harbor, the Russian bands playing the national anthem, to meet
the Japanese fleet, which consisted of two battleships, six cruisers, seven
torpedo boats and five torpedo boat destroyers.
The fight which followed was furious, the Are of tho Japanese fleet
being concentrated on the Variag. The ship was riddled until she looked
like a aleve and there was not a gun aboard which could be successfully
worked. When the ship wa on fire, two of her boiler destroyed, her engines
barely workable and 109 officers and men lying dead or dying on the decks
the vessel, accompanied by 10 Korletz, returned to the harbor, where the
Russians, after the dead and Injured and living were removed, sunk the
vessels rather than let them fall Into the hands of the Japanese. ' The Illus
