Ono of tbe liucns was vory pretty, and tho young nobles who Avero feasting cast such bold glances at her that she blushed with shame, whorontpon tho king rose from tho tahlo nnd, tnklng his napkin, folded It in two and placed It on her bead In such a manner that It con cealod her blushes.

A large cannon of the latest typa was recently imported from Europe, and when It was landed on the coast of Hainan the military mandarins of th« district first inspected It closely and th«n resolved to teat it They therefore procured, a boat, which thoy anchored at some dlstanc* from tba land, arid then they loaded ttu cannon and fired a shot at it, To theii surprise the shot did not hit tho boat but fell short In tho water. They deter- mined to try again, but did not want ta miss a second time, and so they brought tha boat to the very spot where the Irat shot had fallen and anchored It there. • s Then they fired, and to their un- bounded joy the shot went clean through the vessel. Evidently it nave* occurred to them that thoy could hava attained the same end by aiming mors carefully and slightly changing tb« po- sition of the cannon, or, if It did. occur to them, they thought that it was caslea to move the boat tbap to so aim wit* tha heavy cannon that thoy would ba absolutely certain of not losing a aso and shot SToane«d Ota Dcalred KO«t» ,\ Kate, when two years old, was fuud of climbing.
