CORNERING "A HOG.
a Stage Driver Finally Strikes One-Ex-
pensive Experiment.
Virginia New Chronicle

William Garhart denies Congressman Dag
gett's assertion that the mule is the king Of
beasts. Garhart accords the palm Of snpe-
FORTY to the hog. A hog always knows
what he Is about Garhart claims that no
man ever got the better OF hog In fair
struggle. He has tried to drive over hogs
many times, but was successful only once.
They sometimes lie in the hollow Of the road
fast asleep. Mr.. Garhart has often borne
down ca them at q 30 pace, with tive-ton
stage and six-in-hand On down grade
Just, however, as he confidently expected to
see the air filled with wagon grease and
spare-ribs. they would lurch clear Of the
wheel or glide under the stage and come out
all safe and sound, with q grunt of quiet
satisfaction and look that was more exas-
perating than to be robbed by road agents.
Mr.. Garhart never goa away with q hog but
once. The animal lodged s. train Of cars
coming out OF g tunnel, and he whipped up
his horses and caught the hog square In the
neck with one Of the fore wheels and killed
1t. The stage, however, upset and smashed
everything In sight. Two men were killed
outright and several women MANNED for life.

CHINA AND JAPAN.
The Probabilities Of War Between These Two
Empires
IN. Y. Tirl,es.l#

s As means OF convincing tho Japanese tina
! Iney are strong Oh the sea as well as on The
land, the Chinese government has recent,
neld great naval review of it's foreign bui Il
river. This occasion brought together under
one head for the first time the sQundrons that
Are attached TO the Shanghai and Foocbow
stations. Ordinarily, these two fleets, which,
are controlled by distinct governors general,
have almost az little III common RS would be
III o friEate OF the Shanghai fleet were to be
repaired at the FoochoW navy-ynrd, she
would be charged for material, labor and
Gockage, precisely rs though shc were All
Englsh or American government ship. How
eyer, In view Of d possible maritime war With
the Japanese, 1t was thought expedent to
unite these two divisions Ia general review.
The result does not seem to have been quite
~ terrifying as 1t was hoped it
would be. The fleet consists, all told, Of
eleven vessels, ranging from $50 to 1900
ions, which, with one or two exceptions, fairly
represent the style Of war vessel in accepted
use about fifteen years ago. The officers and
men are all Chinese fact which does not
argue against their nautical efficiency, for the
natives Of the sea coast Of the Flowery King
dom make excellent common sailors, and safe,
though sometimes over-cautious officers

would entail an immense amount of trouble
and expense IL the vessels were to be main-

As far as the Japanese are concerned.
they are not in the least likely to
loosen their hold upon the Loochoo
Islands In consequence OF this warlike dis
play. The Japanese fleet Is NO larger than that
possessed BY the Chinese, and In the matter Of
armament and style Of vessel 1t has some Of
the defects OF the latter but 1t has a larger
number Of modern built ships, and, what is of
SILL more Importance, the Japanese sailors are
10 no way inferior to the Chinese, while their
officers possess what the Chinese naval Off
GERS DO not, no slight amount OF that vlpor
and mtrepidity OF action which has been a
marked characteristic OF all great naval Off
GERS and 0f successful maritime nations.
Hedged In BY wide and stormy seas from all
Tear OF invasion, the Japanese can we'll afford
10 be Indifferent to the vast strength In num-
bers Of their rival. The war, II it Is ever de
elared, will be fought out very largely upon
the water, and, as both nations get their naval
weapons BY purchase there Is no reason why
one country should be better equipped, when
hostiiities begin than the other, while in skill

Statistics of Wages.

writer in the London Daily Nears has
been compiling statistics Of the wages paid to
lie the benefit OF his Investigations The rate
ranges all the way from Sc 3G per month with
board, In South Carolina, to S35 in Nevada.
The highest average rate OF wages, it ap-
pears, are paid In the West. In the great
board, is from Sl4 to SIS. In New England
ST. to So Is the current rate, and in New
York Sl3 70 So. All along the Pacific slope,
1t Is said, the farm laborers can earn twice
these wages. In Canada the rates OF wages
average from $40 to $l3 per month, and the
laborers consider that excellent pay. On the
whole. the rates OF wages In the United
States will not suffer by comparison with
that OF other counties, nor will the condition
OF the farm laborers. There is, after all, no
country In the world so we'll adapted to the
