The Yak.


To the Kirghis the yak is as
invaluable as the Reindeer to
the Laplander or, in another
way, as the camel to the Arab.
Its milk is richer than that of
the COW, and its hair is woven
into clothes and other fabrics.
Where a man can walk a yak
can be ridden. 1t is remarka-
bly, sure footed like the ele-
plant, It has a wonderful sagac-
ity in knowing what will bear
is weight and in avoiding hid
den depths and chasms and
when a pass or gorge be-
comes blocked by snow (pro-
vided il be not frozen) a score
sof yal<s driven in front will
make a highway. This strange
creature frequents the noun
tain slopes and their level sum-
mils. Il needs no tending and
1nds It's food at all seasons. If
he snow on the heights lies too
deep for him to find the herb
age, he rolls himself down the
slopes and eats his way up
again, displacing the snow as
he ascends. When arrived at
the top he performs second
somersault down the slope, and
displaces a second groove of
snow as he eats his way up the
slope again. The yak cannot
bear a temperature above freez-
ing and in the summer it leaves
the hannts of men and ascends
way up the mountain to the
"old ice" above the limit of
perpetual snow, its calf being
retained as a pledge for the
mothers return in which she
never fails.

An Innocent Abroad.

The other day the police at
the Union depot noticed a fee
bic looking old man wandering
in and out to kill time until the
train should depart and as he
several times displayed a roll
Of bills, he was cautioned to
look out for pickpockets and
confidence men.

he innocently asked. ES
The warning was repeated,
but he logged around as before,
and after a time was seen in
close consultation with two
strangers who had walked HIM
around to the wharf. An Off
Ger got him away from them
and angrily said:

"But how can they get it

and my hand on It all the time p
"Well. you look out"
ayes, I'lllook out; but l don't
want to be uncivil. When any
body talks to me 1 like to talk
back"
The strangers soon had him
on the string again, and in about
a quarter of an hour they left
him in a hurried manner, and
he sauntered into the depot
with his wallet in his hand. &
There! You've let 'em beat

The Internal GOng-hplls.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
In referring to your editorial in relation to the
"new municipal code to take effect in New
York, on the LIST of September, forbidding the
crying Ofnewspapers or the making of any dis
turbing noises on Sunday" permit me to make
the following suggestion:
1 think it is high time that the authorities of
Washington city look to the comforts of it's citi-
zens, and forthwith compel the discontinuance
OF those Internal peace-disturbng gong-bells
now in use, especially by few vendors of
milk, who apparently set at naught the Oft
repeated appeals of all good and law-abiding
citizens, and who, also, seemingly defy the Dis
trict authorities. If the Hon Commissioners
have the power to legally stop the crying of
noisy hucksters on the streets, why not apply
the same restriction to those demon manipula-
tors OF the gOng-bell? For, truly, to have one of
those perpetual nuisances to haul up directly
under your window, at four or FIVE o'clock
in the morning. when you are in
profound slumber-the sweetest of all sleep
and let fly five or six strokes of the hammer
with such force as none but a demon gong-bell
manipulation knows how, you find yourself sud-
denly brought to an upright position in the
bed, incOherently muttering sort of torture
that would dOubly discount any that has been
suggested for the fend Guiteau.
And then, on going to the window to ascer-
tain from whence this unearthly din proceeds,
to find the same demon gOng-bell manipulation
staring you in the face and grinning like
chessy-cat, you almost lose control of what
little mind you have left. N.

THE STEAMER GEORGE LEARY RUNS INTO A
SCHOONER IN FOG.
The steamer George Leary which left here on
an excursion trip Saturday night, collided with
the schooner ]. H. Williams heavily loaded with
lumber, when about Is miles out in the bay
The accident occurred about o'clock Yesterday
morning during fog I'm the river and bay and
was surprise to the large company of quiet
sleepers on board, most of whom climbed out of
their beds and on deck in great haste without
regard to toilets The officers Of the Leary first
discovered the schooner under full sail immedi-
ately under her bows while the steamer was at
full head, and at once commenced to back water,
and the sudden reversal of the engines was
what awoke the passengers. The speed was
somewhat slackened, but too late to avoid
the accident, and the steamers starboard
bow struck the schOOner's jbboOm, knock
ing it completely off and carrying away
her jibsail. The captain of the Leary
hove to, and backing up ascertained her
situation, and that she was not leaking. He
then made fast, and turning the schooner about
found that her steering gearing was all right,
and then left her. The Leary's men charged that
the schooner had no lights out, and the captain
of the latter protested that he had and the usual
amount Of sharp words used on such occasions
followed. The Leary was not much injured and
the passengers finding there were no leaks turned
into their hunks again. The company aboard
the Leary was large and respectable one, and
all the staterOOms were filled. Nothing further
occurred to mar the pleasure of the trip to Nor
folk and Fortress Monroe.
