Krug sounded the gong yesterday the Sunday-school room was in a clatter. The teachers and their scholars were talking of the Chinese New year, about which the fair preceptors evinced con siderable curiosity. In an instant all was quiet. You could have heard a laundry ticket drop. The Superin tendent announced that Luke Quong would lead in prayer. He did so in Chinese, and every head was bowed. When he had iinished a hymn was sung, the Chinamen joining in with great vim. Then came the lesson. It was from Isaiah liii., 1-2. Each teacher immedi ately took up her Sunday-school quarterly and began to riddle her scholar with questions. This L what the reporter beard in one class: ."Now, Yung, you remember what I toi'd you last Sunday about tho oruci fixion ?" "O, yars." "And the suffering?" "Yare. In thees city." N, no; in Jerusalem." "O. yars." "Now let us go on with the lesson. It says: A11 we, like sheep have gone astray.' You know what sheep are'-"' No answer; only a broad smile. "Haven't you ever seen sheep; those animals that go along in herds?" In thees city?" "No, no. Anywhere at all, Generally in the country." "O. Yars." Now, Yung, do you know what sin is?" "Nor." "You don't: after all I told vou last Sunday?" "Nor." "Well, 1 11 tell you. If you should go home after Sunday-school and go to washing, that would be sin," "Nor." "Yes, it would." "O, nor," and Yung stuck to it that there no sin in washing on Sun day. The reporter was approached by Luke Quong. the Assistant Superin tendent. He introduced himself, an4 immediately began to talk in a strain very different from that of the Sujer intendent. Said he; "Chinaman no believe in religion; he come to learn English language. He like the girls all samee like American, but he come to learn English." .V. Y. Advertiser. ' Unmolested IlioJi Men. Millionaires who are being pursued by wild-eyed cranks might find food for reflection in the fact that Peter Cooper, who was a very rich man, was never molested by bomb-throwers. He was a man always accessible to the great American public and a stranger who dropped into his office, even though he carried a plethoric carpet sack, struck no terror to his heart. George Peabody was another gen tleman abundantly blessed with the riches of this world who was not obliged to dodge the dynamite liend. Stephen Girard was still another. Coming down to the gentlemen who are alive and active in the world's affairs. Baron Hirsch is conspicuous as a rich man who seems to enjoy perfect immunity from cranks. The baron is worth $100.000.000 aceording to popu lar estimate and his expendit ore in behalf ff hi ftdlow-nien in a measure verify these figures vet there has been no attempt to cut short his career.

Tho Shift to Which Viirlou-. I'urts of People Kraort the World. lu When Mr. David Lindsay returned from his expedition across a part, of the Australian desrt a while ago, he said the whole of that almost water less country was inhabited by native who get their water supply by drain ing the roots of the malice tree, which yield quantities of pure water. This tree, absorbing moisture from the air. retains it in considerable quantities in its roots and thus makes it possible to live in an arid region, which would otherwise be uninhabitable. There are people in other parts of the world who get their supply of wa ter in k peculiar way. Tho explorer Coudreau, for instance, found a while ago while wandering among the Tumuc-Humac mountains, in the west ern part of Guiana, that it was uol necessary for his men to descend to a creek when they wanted a drink of water. A vino known as the water vine is found all through that region. It yields an abundant supply of excel lent drinking fluid whenever it is called upon. This vine grows to a height of sixty to ninety feet. It i usually about as thick as the upper part of the human arm. It winds it self loosely around trees, clambers up to their summits, and then falls down perpendicularly to the ground, where it takes root again. The natives cut this vine olT at the groundand then, at a height of about six or seven feet, they cut it again, which leaves in their hands a very stout piece of wood a little longer than themselves. In order to obtain it sap they raise the lower end of the vine upon some support and apply the upper end to their mouths. The sec tion of the vine, while showing a smooth, apparently compact surface-,' is pierced with many little veins, through which the sap flows freeiy. S Six feet of the vine gives about a pint of water, which is slightly sweet to tho taste. Coudreau says that it quenches thirst as effectively as water from the most refreshing brook. The bushmen j the Kalahari desert often live scores of miles from places where water comes to the surface. During a certain part of the year sharfC" storms pass over the Kalahari, cover ing the apparently arid region with the brightest of verdure and tilling, for a few short days, the water courses with roaring torrents. The bushmen know how to find water by digging in the bottoms of these dried up river beds. They dig a hole three or four feet deep and then tie a sponge to the end f a hollow reed. The sponge al sorbs the moisture at the bottom of the hole, and the natives draw it into their mouths through the reed, and then empty it into calabashes for future use. i The animals that inhabit such wastes as the Kalahari are of course, accustomed to liv ing upon very small and infrequent supplies of water. The Bechuana do not lead their cattle to the drinking places oftener than once in two or three days. Il is said that goats in the Kalahari frequently pass months without water, and, according to Mr. Mackenzie, there are certain antelopes which are never seen to visit the drinking places. In that enormous waste known as the Gobi desert, north of China, show ers .sometimes fall during the summer, and the torrents of a day fill the dried up water courses through which wa ter seldom runs. j, $ n these chan nels that the Mongols dig their wells, expecting to find a little water, when upon the surface of the plateau itself the soil has ot all traces of humidity. It is owing to the fact that a part of tiie moisture falling during a few rainy das is thus preserved within reach that i' is pn--jb',- lor caravans to cross the derert. Should a man in China i- unfortun ate enough to .save the life of another from drowning he is saddled with the expense of -upporting the .aved one for the remainder of that person's life. Camels Don't Uke Dampness. In a note resenily published on the camel. Mr. Lehman calls attention to the sensibility of that animal to damp ness. Camels are never found in the region of tropical rains, and when they travel therewith the caravans, the season of rains is greatly dreaded for them. Their absence from the Atlas mountain- during the northerly rainy season is also explained ly the. great humidity of the air. Tenijtera ture. on the the contrary, seem, to have no .fTeet ou them.
