A Boys Meditation on the Death Of q
Playmate.

HEARD that Sanford H. was sick;
next that he was very sick; then that
he was dead! When the boy is well
and out every day playing with you;
flying kites. making dirt-pies, Dragging
about his father and telling those shad-
owy. puffy legends about things he
knows nothing of-something like older
people. as, for instance, that the star at
the comets head is to fall week after
next and set the earth on fire, and you
go home terribly frightened and at last
muster up sufficient courage to ask the
opinion of your parents in reference to
the matter, and they restore your con-
fidence in the eternal stability of things
by pooh-poohing at such nonsense. al

The Chinese rs Soldiers.

OFcoHsiderable strength numerically,
the Chinese army has at pres
ent but little fighting value. The Chi
nese soldier is naturally brave, and the
men recruited in the northern districts
of the Empire are full of vigor and en-
ergy; but the troops are practically to-
tally uninstructed in military duties.
That this should be the case is probably
mainly owing TO the inferiority of the
Chinese officers. They are" says a
French writer, "below all criticism;"
and that they are SO must be ascribed
to the low esteem in which the pro-
fession of arms is held in China. You
would not, runs Chinese saving. stake
good iron to make into nails, and you
would not take man worth anything
at all TO make into soldier" A man
need not be in any way educated to OBJ
tain commission; but, on the other
hand, he must be an athlete. Carrying
and throwing heavy weights. the use of
the sword and shooting with the bow,
both on foot and on horseback. are the
subjects in which man DESTROYS of oh
tanning commission is examined.
Under these circumstances, il is no
wonder that the Chinese officer is as n
rule utterly ignorant of military art;
while his men. knowing that he Is rs
ignorant AS themselves. have but little
respect for him.

especially hard TO manage. Yet the
drivers always seem easy and noncha-

enormously stout. These are fastened

fifteen tons of freshly-sawn lumber

The Mysterious Stranger at Laramie.

My attention has very recently been
called to stranger who seems to be a
feature of the great mountain exodus.
He wears Mexican sombrero, broad
at the base and shallow of crown. with
strange, wild fancies," as Colonel
Downey would say, worked in scarlet
and gold upon it, and gold cord with
cardinal tassels of great size. His coat
is long buckskin garment. cut plain
like a night shirt. with beads worked
all over it, and buckskin strings attach
ed to il along the seams and around the
tail. He has other odd, wild toggery
about him. and seems to feel disappoint-
ed because he hasn't killed anybody for
an hour or two.
When the passenger train from the
East comes in he stands at the depot
with PARKWAY look, like one whose
thoughts are roaming among the ranks
of erass-grown graves in his own privat G
cemetery, where he plants those who
do not love him.
The passengers look at him with
solemn awe and respect and do not speak
to him. because they are afraid they
will disturb him and make him irritat-
ed, and he will put six-flush on the
train and mix up a CHASTITY array OF
mutilated corpses.
No one seemed to know who this man
was at first Some said it was the left
wing of the James boys. Others, still.
said that il was cut-throat known as
The Howiing Demon of Pappoose
Canon" The old frontiersman said
that it was THE Wild-Eyed Man Flat
tenerfrom Sinking Water" Others said
they recognized him as THE Sanguin-
ary Gizzard- Eater of Yuba Dam"
But he was none of these noted char.
acters.
The citizens called a convention and
decided that they would draw lots Ia
see who should hold an interview with
him and find out if there was any way
BY which we could alleviate his woe and
ease the canker which was eating away
his heartstrings. 1t was decided that
the people of Wyoming should let him
have a man to kill, if that was the Sc
cret of his consuming grief, and, rather
than see him pining his young life
away, victim would be provided for
him each week at least.

medical college supplies fell on me.

eternal and seven-yearly recurring pre-
diction of the gloomy German astrono-
mer that the earth is circling like a
moth round and round. nearer and

While all this is going on. and the boy

on Saturday last. Funeral services
were held~at her~late residence on Mon
day. We shall have something to say
OF her lifa-work and mediumship in our

Miss Shaw was by far the best test
medium we ever met. In giving names
she was simply wonderful. and we date
our first decided step from the low.
lands of orthodoxy to the high table,
lands of spirituaiism to a single two
hours sitting with this remarkable me-
dunn in March, 1876. That is, the
wonderful evidence of actual spirit
presence and manifestation received
through the mediumship Of May Shaw,
was tue turning point in our investiga-
ton. Before that we had resorted to
mind reading, jugglery, etc., as a posi-
BILE explanation fspiritualistic phenom-
ena, but after the tests received thro'
her mediumship, we felt compelled to
admit that we mad held, as Tennyson
says, IAN hours communion with the
