ii A s, YOKOHAMA correspondent saw
European ladies, elegantly dressed in !,
iull evening costume, on their way to
Iiaoma dinner party in baby cart drawn
by stout coolies whose only clothing
was the tattooing on their backs and
breech. cloths, four inches wide. One

The word " bonanza" has been freely
launched upon the sea of journalism,
and is likely to become o household
word. A Nevada paper says it is Span
ish, and means "fair weather at sea.
Applied to mining it means 'sa body Of
rich ore." When Spanish miner
strikes good vain, he replies to the
query: "How are you getting en-" in
his own language: "Oh, il en- bonan-
za," which means in American slang:
t"Oh, we're all hunkeydory !" Z
FAnMERs and dairymen have from
time immemorial imagined they knew a.
cattle disease called "horn all" or,
hollow-horn." Prof. Cressy now tells
them it is an old wives fable. The pro-
fesror has cut open innumerable horns :
and found them all hollow. He tells
the cow.doctors there is no such disease
as "hollow-horn." The cure practiced
is to bore into the horn and inject some
remedy. This is generally followed by:
bleeding at the nose, which is supposed
to be q symptom Of the disease and
sign that the remedy is becoming effect
i've. The professor proves by cattle
skulls that the nasal passages are nor
mally connected with the hollows in
the horns, and this accounts for the
boring and the internal application OF
the remedy. Horned cattle generally
will be glad to hear that the surgery OF
the gimlet is not necessary to their
health, as scarcely any of them ever got
through life without being horribly
bored. H' Est,
NoRDHoFF says of the communicate
societies of the United States "All
the successful communes are composed
of what are c,.stomsfily called 'com-
mon people, You look in vain for
highly educated, refined, cultivated, Or
elegant men or women. They profess
no exalted views OF humanity or dest,
tiny; they are not enthusiasts; they do,
not speak much of the beautiful with o
big B. They are utilitarians. Some do
not even like flowers; some reject in
strumental music. They build solidiy,
often of stone but they care nothing
for architectural effects. Art ,s not
known among them; mere beauty and
grace are undervalued, even despised.
