Fourth Officer Hepburn, of the stesm r Bmpress of Japan, tails a rsallttls story of a blood street fight hs wit neseed from the balcony of a hotel la bona Kong juat before the sailing of hia ateamer. Titer ara at present la that harbor, German, French, BaaalanY United States sad Britiah men-of-war. The aailora from thtaa Tease la watch tha big International game of cheat now going on la tha east, with China sa tha prise. It la .tha Anglo-Saxon , raws agalnat tha world, aad with tha preiant bitter feeling ready to break oat in war It does not take much to start an open quarrel among tha tailor men. There waa a row in a aaloon, two or three street fights, a council of war and a call to arms. The Russlsn aailora started hostili ties. Ther formed an alliance with the French and German sailors, and 400 strong marched down Qawen street, which it but t3 feet wide, from the Josa I temple to the water, in double linesand announced that no Johnny Bull or Yan- Vee must peas through unless he want ed hit head broken. The English aail ora asked the Americana eq join them, and found by actual count they were 150 strong. They parleyed with the foreigners, while SO ef their number were sent to the rear to seise or hire all the fiorickshae ln eight- When these "were secured they formed a wedge with them. With load burralis the British-American allies rushed shoulder to shoulder at the black mast of sneering, railing foreigners. One hundred of them formed the wedge, 50 stayed behind to cover the rear. After some doeen. of the foreigners had been knocked down by the onslaught they gave way, and the Jinrickshas were pushed to their rear and smashed to.pfecee. Meanwhile the Tear guard of 50'engaged In a band tohsnd fist fight wKh their enemies. The Germans, French and Russians were now surrounded by the Anglo- Saxons, and the fight went merrily on. A 'dreadful din reigned. Tha Ameri cans were tinging "America,' and the DrrSah "God Save tbe Queen." It was theeame tune, and that tune waa heard flbov) everything e'kae. In the words df tan eye witness: "The British lion and the American eagle knocked seven he'll out of the 400 enen of the com bined nations." The local authorities could. do noth ing, and appealed re the warship offi cers, who ordered their men to atop, and hostilities ceased. The affair, Mr. Hep buna thinki, may be warning to the po veers In the far east not to fool with aueh a combination. He declares that the nussisn-Oerman-Vreoch alliance, although over double the Anglo-American fn numbers, was badly-whipped. The Anglo-Saxons surrounded them and belabored their opponents unmer cifully with ttlckt anfi fists, until they yelled for quarter. Chicago Inter OC6SaB nANlTIltO THE YARDS. A Ceiwaaoar Warasrvws Tsiat Is Mat Wtat It t aS t Be Befarw rh Days sf lrsaelss. When Commodore Schley took formal command of the flying squadron the other day the "yards" atf the flagship Brooklyn were manned by bluejackets, and on deck all involuntarily Joined in tht shout of applause. In ithe old nary, when United States ships were actually ships with yards, the boVtun's mate's call: "AM hands cheer shipl" was fol lowed by much more plcttsresque cer emony than is poRsible now, when the vessels of the nary are fitted with but a single yard, and that only used for signaling. At the word of soommand "Man the yards!" there was an amount of acrobatic scurrying on the- main, decks of the old ships that wast calcu lated to made the shtp-vlsitor IwieThlt breath, the thing looked to dangerous. The men forward In the bluejacket uni form would fuiriy leap up the rope ladders, and almost by the time the echoes of the command had died away every yard on each .most would sup port scores of men and boys, all siaaHr ing erect, most of tbem only held up by the crossed arms of the men beside them. This representation of a cross waa held by all of the men, and it ws their business to stand thus with ab solute ttatuesqueneM. Then the com mand "Cheer ship!" would be bawled out on deck by the chief bo'sun's mate, and there would bo a yell from cat head to mizzen that couldn't help warm the blood of everybody within bearing of it. When the men manned the yard with all sail except top'ls and stuna'le set, such a picture waa really beaatiful, the men' uniforms of blue standing out in sapphire-like contract to the vameo. whiteness of the shrouds. This was a ceremony on all formal occasions, such at the visit aboard old ships of distinguished men. And man the yards and cheer ship were commands always given when one of the old clippers of the United States navy waa either. de parting for or arriving fnom a foreign station. Washington Star. .

EARLY CULTIVATION. t It Meaas MaeB Bavrst Work, Bat It le Wsx TBsvt rrs foe Itself Sees Tataus Twtee Orev, With, ail eultivnted crops it la the early euttt vation that la the most lmpor- rtant. Tbe weeds are easiest killed when they first Yank e their appearance above ground, and If the weeds can be kept down and the soil in good tilth until the plants get well started' to growing It Is much easier to maintain a good growth. One decided advantage in hav ing the soil wetl prepared when the seed Is pi sated is that it will be possible to begin tbe cultivation earlier. In most eases when the cultivation is commenced In good season in the gar den eeherp steel rake or prong toe, and, in the field, a good smoothing harrow will be found the beet snd most econom ical implements. Properly used, they will destroy ths weeds thst msy hsve started up and at the same time witl fine the soil and keep It la a good tilth. With all crops the cost of cultivating is quite an item, and when the condi tion of tbe soil win admit nstng them tn no way oan the weeds be killed out so effectually and foe noil bs so thor oughly fined as when these Implement are used. Then tbe cultivator can be used,' tak ing pains to work as close to the plants at possible. There (t no advantasre In working the soil deep. Thoroughly stir the surface, and a better growth can be secured than 'by stirring .deep, while hallow cultivation is easier on man and team..
