90 The MllZoshi.'

Speeking of New Years day in Japan
a correspondent of the Cleveland Her
AID writes 1.-THE Mikoshi' bears a
prominent part in all these festivitit s.
it is a miniature temple, like the DASH
placed upon platform, being carried,
however, upon the backs of men by
means OF two long poles. In the morn
ing il is brought out from the temple,
aud volunteer bearers are always at
hand to carry IL about the sIeeis for
the sake of religion and the free drinks
which always abound on such occasions.
At Il given signal the crowd start of at
6 breakneck pace With the AIikOshi
upon their shoulders. They are pre-
ceded by several men furnished with
iron rods garnished at the end with
iron rings, which being struck Oh the
ground make ratJling. crashing noise
Sufficient TO attract the attention of
everybody. The Mikoshi bearers rush
along IN most uproarious style, from
this side of the road TO that, now back
ward, now forward, and as they tumble
rel neil on their course the mIkoshi is
tossed high in the air and sometime s
almost touches the ground. As the day
progresses. and as the saki tegius to
tell upon the bearers, their antics wax
madden and madder, until finally yOu
can hear their frantic shouting half q
mile of. and can see them struggle
fiercely over their sacred burden, until
it seems as though they must surely be
on the point of tearing It asunder. The
method of all this madness IS apparent
in the rear of the procession, where can
be found the money-box Of the temple
to which the MiEoshi belongs, Ia the
charge of a priest whose especial care
Il is t0sca that tie result of tins pious
uproar is @ fine harvest of copper coin

People Along the Mediterranean.

A writer SAYS: 1.-THE consane Unity
between the different branches of the
Latin race is nowhere so conspicuous
as along the shores of the Mediterra-
mean, no people bearing a closer resem-
blance to each other than the various
tribes on the seaboard of Spain, France
and Italy. In countenauce, IN dialect,
in manners, in character, a Catalan is
much more like an italian than like a
Castilian, a PrOvencAl (nOt of Mar
seilles) much more akin to a GenOese
or Iiedmontess than TO a Norman or
Breton. There are many reasons, both
ethnographical and historical, why this
should be so; reasons into which 1t is
needless for me to enter, but chiefly
traceable to identity of original descent
and long association in common pollti-
cal destinies and commercial enterprise.
And vet, with all this kindred nature,
with all this family likeness, considera-
bic differences are perceptible, and
very decided distinction must be drawn
bstween them. The Catalan is more
spanish lhan his two neighbOTs, the
P ovencal more French, the Ligurian
more Italian and it is impossible for
Que who looks about him, even nOtwitb-
standing the speed with which the train
conveys him from land to land, not to
become aware of the transition of one
shade to the other of what appears at
the first glance, and what is in reality,
a common clinical type. The three
peoples are equally intelligent, equally
thrifty, quick-witt1d and cheerful. But
there is "A roughness and uncouthness
in the Catalan that reveals his backward
Iberian civilization there Is a self-suf-
iciency, a tendency to official pedantry
in the Provencal which was caught by
long submission 20 Gallo rule and die
tation. The Genoese and PiedmOntese,
as Italians, are less formal and absO
lutte, and Indetd only too easy and care
lessly intolerant.

The shah's strong Box.

The strong box of the Shah Of Persia
INSISTS of a small room 20x14 feet.
Here, spread upon carpets. lie Jewels
valued at $1,000. 600. Chief among
them is the Kainian crown, ehaped
like flower pot, and topped by an un-
cut ruby as large as a hens egg, and
supposed to have come from Siam.
n Tear the crown are two Iambskin caps
adorned with splendid aigrettes of
diamonds, and before them lie trays Of
pearl, ruby and emerald necklaces,
and hundreds Of rings. A Mr.. East
wick, who is reported to have been
allowed to examine the collection, states
that conspicuous among the gauntlets
and belts covered with pearls and dia-
mcnds is the Kaianian belt, about a
foot deep, weighing perhaps eighteen
pouods, and one complete mass Of
pearls, diamonds, emeralds and rubiea.
One or two scabbards Of swords are
said 10 be worth a quarter Of q million
each. There is also the finest turquoise

Habita of the Mud -Fish.

The aquarium at Brighton, England,
has been lately enriched by the addi-
ton OF a mud-fish from Africa. A de-
scTiption cf the habits of the strange
creature has been given by Mr.. Frank
Lee, from which We take the following:
{" In the upper reaches of its native
river the fierce hest of the summer sun
dries up the springs, aud the water be
comes shallower and shallower, until at
last The bed of the stream is exposed to
the torrid and desiceating air, and the
sedimentaTy deposit which, when Gov
cred with water, was a semi fluid ooze,
is baked to a hard, dry crust, which
splits and cracks in every direction.
Unable to retreat like the sea-fshes,
from the shoaling water with an ebb-
tide, the PrOfOpJeytts burrows down IN
the soft soil to a depth of about IS
inches. The mud hardens around it,
and there it lies Gurled up in its cell,
like the chTysalis OF a tilkworm IN its
cocoon, for three quarters of year, till
the next rainy season, when the river
once more flows along its former course.
Then every crack and hssure OF the
parched clay drinks of the running
water the mud is liquifed, and the
fish get free, apparently none the worse
for It's long imprisonment and depriva-
ton Of light and air

went to a pawn shop, where he pawned
a vest for seventy five cents. theree
he went to the capitol and asked for
food and money, but being unsuccess-
full. he aseended the dome and descend
ed to his death. The galleries ard
corridors of the capitol were unusually
crowded with people, who were stupe
fed with horror when they learned the
cause of the excitement. 1t was bold
and swift leap into instant death, and
to those WHIT, we've without the eastern
front of the capitol or sian6ing at the
windows OF the house had It appearss
as if some huge India-rubber ball had
been pitched from the top # the dome
and had gone bounding and rolling
down over the curved iron ridges OF Its
surface, clearing the second eolonnaded
gallery in its descent and falling one
hundred ana ninety feet below te-she
