After sup- per he took his children out in the yard to shoot some fireworks. It being good many years since Agent Moore was a boy, he had somewhat lost the art of touching oft sky rockets, and for- getting that they should be planted in the ground he concluded that the sticks to the rockets were handles to hold them by as they went off. So taking hold of one by the stick be held it aloft while the match was applied. A mo- later there was a followed by a down shooting stream of fire and be- fore he could let go his right hand was badly burned, the f it being most a crisp.

This promotion was especially gratifying, for the reason that it was conferred for conduct in the first battle in which I had served under the command of the general in chief. There were features of the battle which have never been matched in the annals of warfare. For two days nearly veteran troops had struggled in a death grapple, confronted at each step with almost every obstacle by which nature could bar their path and groping their way through a tangled forest the impenetrable gloom of which could be likened only to the shadow of death.

And you must understand that each pal- ace is assigned to only one kind of Thus one is stored with bows, a second with saddles, a third with bridles, and so on in succession right round. The great wall has five gates on its southern face, the middle one being the great gate, which is never opened on any occasion except when the great khan himself goes forth or enters. Close on either side of this great gate is a smaller one, by which all other people pass, and then, to- ward each angle, is another great gate, also open to people in general, so that on that side there are five gates in alL Inside of this wall there is a sec- a space that is some- what greater in length than in breadth. This also has eight palaces, corresponding to those of the outer wall, and stored, like them, with the king's harness of war. This wall also has five gates on the southern face, corresponding to those in the outer wall, and has one gate on each of the other faces, as the outer wall has also. In the middle of the second is the king's great and I will tell you what it is You must know that it is the greatest palace that ever was. To- ward the north it is in contact with the outer wall, while toward the south there is a vacant space which j tho barons and tho soldiers are con- traversing.

They also adorned with representations of dragons, and gilt, beasts and birds, knights and idols and sundry other subjects. And on tho ceiling, too, you nothing but gold and silver and painting. On of tho four sides there is a great marble stair- case leading to tho top of tho marble wall and forming tho approach to the The hall of the is so largo that it could easily dine and it is quite a marvel to see how many rooms there are besides. Tho building is altogether so vast, so rich and so beautiful that no man on earth could design anything to it. The outside of the roof also is all colored with vermilion and yellow and green and blue and other hues, which are fixed with a varnish so and exquisite that they shine like crystal and lend a resplendent luster to the palace as seen for a great way round. The roof is made, too, with such strength and solidity that it is fit to last for- ever. On tho interior side of the palace are largo buildings, with halls and chambers, where the emperor's property is placed, such as his treasures of gold, silver, gems, pearls and gold plate, and in which reside tho ladies of the Brooks in St. Nicholas. the two men beneath It.
