Japanese and Chinese.

S. Kurino, Japanese student, writes
to the Boston Herald that his love of his
own country i'm 9els him to set forth ga
nationality utterly distinct from that of
China" The principal reasons given
by him for rejecting the theory that the
Japanese are of Chinese origin are that
the customs of the two people are gem
orally different; that the former are far
superior TO the latter in intellectual pro-
gress; that their earliest written Ian
guages are dissimilar, and that history
indicates the descent of the Japanese
from the inhabitants of ancient Babylon.
kurino admits, however, that the an
cient history of Japan is too fragmen
tary and untrustworthy to be of much
value. That there was an invasion
about $50 years before Christ is certain,
but he contends that it was not from
China. He takes pride in the fact that
the Japanese, unlike other Asiatics, do
not treat women as interiors; and he
claims that hari-kari, or the execution
of the death penalty upon ones self, is
proof of genuine chivalry. ''It must
not" he says, ''be confounded with
common, ignoble suicide; it was, on the
contrary, public act, attended with
great. ceremonies, and kind of capital
punishment intended for the privileges
class. The high privilege, hari-kar,
was granted by the code of honor only
when a military retainer was guilty of
some high political offence not unworthy
of his rank, in order to save him from
the infamy of being abandoned to the
ignominious hands of the common exc
cutioner."

Psychological Wonder-A Toung Lady
Predicting Her Own Affections.

There is in this city, says the Vir-
ginia City Enterprise, a young lady
Whose case is not only the most dis
tressing imaginable, but which also is
most curious and q puzzle for physi-
clans and all who are acquainted with
her condition and the peculiar circum-
stances attendant upon and connected
Herewith. The young lady is a Miss
Mary Kenney, aged about 1S years, who
resides on the Divide Previous to her
illness she was pupil in Prof. Flint s
school, where she was distinguished for
her close application to her studies and
her quiet and ladylike department. She
was ambitious to become teacher, and
studied very hard in order to be able to
pass an-examination. Some six weeks
ago Miss kenney told her mother and
others that great calamity was soon to
hefall her: that she would be stricken
hind. deaf and dumb. In making this
announcement she was much distressed
and wept bitterly. 1t was in vain that
her friends tried to comfort her; she
said it was thing that must come. A
few DAYS later, while on her way home
from school, she was suddenly struck
blind, and was led by the hand the re-

A HOrseshOer's Experience.

Nipe persons out of ten will say that
corns in horses feet are caused by bad
shoeirg. My experience will justify me
in saying that nine-tenths of the corns
are caused by the owners of horses ne
glecting to get them shod as often as
they ought. We are nearly all agreed
that horses should be shod as often as
once in every four to seven weeks, ac-
cording to circumstances. Now. great
many horse owners. particularly farm
ers, will get a team shod and, unless
the horse becomes lame, will permit the
shoes to remain on till they grow off.
If the horse has round foot, and the
shoe was fitted closely all around, in
four or FIVE weeks the shoe will have
been carried forward by the growth of
hoof, so that one or both of the heels
will be off the wall, and in short time
corns will be produced. Now, if the
owner would take his horse to the shop
on some fixed date every month, instead
of leaving the shoes on from seven to
seventy weeks, horses would have fewer
corns. In shoeing prefer a wide heel,
and mule the heels of the forward shoes,
whether they have corns or not, on
horses that have fat feet.
For interfering, level the foot and fit
the shoe all around close. Then mule
the inside heel slightly. In winter it is
a good plan to turn the outside heel
calk, as it keeps the foot out of the
trough of the road.
For over-reaching, 1 have the best
success shoeing with long shoes all
around. Let the heels of the forward
shoes stick out an inch and the hind
shoes three-quarters of an inch. AS the
forward foot raises, the long shoe will
raise enough so the hind foot will pass
under, while with short shoe the shoe
will raise just enough for the hind shoe
to hit the heels, causing a disagreeable
clicking. can do better and quicker
work with knife and Grasp than with
buttress.
If the foot is grown out very long l
take the cutting pliers and nip the hoof
off from quarters to toe. This insures
the removal of the stubs of nails, and
with sharp knife and rasp the foot is
soon ready. Practice cold fitting al
though / do not think a thick-shelled
foot 10 injured by touching it with red
hot shoe that was previously fitted. A
thin-shelled foot l never press with
hot shoe. 1 was taught to weld toe
calks on shoes first, and heel up after
ward, but practiced heeling shoe first,
and put on the toe-calk when ready to
use the shoe. If you toe last there will
be heat enough in the shoe after weld
ing the calk to fit the shoe. let the
heels, which are nearly cold, drop on
the wall of the foot and hold the toe,
which is d-hot, an inch away from the
foot while fitting. After the toe is fitted
and level, harden the toe and nail on.
know q great many advocate heating
shoe red hot after the foot is prepared
and the shoe fitted, and press the foot
for an instant with the not shoe But all
the advantage they claim is an equal
bearing and that the shoe will be less
liable to come off. Now, l can with
knife and rasp get as good bearing,
and with a good nail fasten the shoe SO
that it will stay longer than it ought

The Stature OF Different Races OF Men.

In comparing races as to their stature,
we concern ourselves not with the tall
est or shortest men of each tribe, but
with the ordinary or average-sized men
who may be taken as fair representa-
tives of their whole tribe. The differ
ence of general stature is well shown
where a tall and short people come
together in one district. Thus, in Aus
tralia the average English colonist OF
five feet eight inches looks clear over
the heads of the five feet four inch
Chinese laborers. Still more in Sweden
does the Swede of five feet seven inches
tower over the stunted Lapps, whose
average measure is not much over five
feet. Among the tallest of mankind are
the Patagonians, who seemed a race of
giants to the Europeans who first
watched them striding along their cliffs
draped in their skin cloaks; it was even
declared that the heads Of Magalhaens'
men hardly reached the waist of the
first Patagonian they met. Modern
travellers find, on measuring them, that
they really often reach SIX feet four
inches, their mean height being about
FIVE feet eleven incheS-three or four
inches taller than average Englishmen-
The shortest of mankind are the Bush
men and related tribes in South Africa,
with an average height not far exceed
ing four feet six inches. A fair con-
uast between the tallest and shortest
races of mankind may be seen in the
Patagonian and Bushman, whose head
only reaches to the formers breast.
Thus the tallest race of men is less than
one-fourth higher than the shortest,
fact which seems surprising to those not
used to measurements. In general, the
stature of the women of any race may
be taken as about one-sixteenth less
than that of the men. Thus, in Eng
land man of five feet eight inches and
a woman of five feet four inches look an
ordinary well-matched couple.-E. B.

mainder of the way home. Four physi-
Clans, including DR.. Weber, county
physician, have been attending the
young lady since her illness, and have
been unable to determine the cause of
the malady which so suddenly seized
her. After losing her sight she soon
lost her hearing. and then her vocal Or
gans became paralyzed. For several
days past she has been unable either to
hear, see or speak.
Her disease appears to be of the ma
ture OF paralysis. and this had yesterday
extended to her legs and the lower part
Of her body. For some days she has
had but little use of her hands, and then
only under certain conditions. The most
curious feature of her case, however, is
that all this time she has been able
to communicate with all about her
though bereft of all her senses. This
she has done in writing. In asking
her question it was necessary to do
so in writing, her hand being laid on that
of the questioner during the time he was
writing. This being done she at once
wrote an answer to the question, but
while doing so it was necessary for the
questioner to place his hand on hers or
to lightly hold the top of the pencil with
which she was writing. All this time
her eyes were closed and her head rest
ing on her pillow in such position that
she could not have seen what was doing
and she not blind
1t appears that the young lady's is a
peculiar organism-thaJ she has long
been sort of psychological puzzle
Many instances might be given OF this
popularity, but they nearly all concern
people well known here and who do not
wish to have their names mentioned.
AS to the character of these things, we
may say that she in several instances
felt impelled to 60 to persons.who were
strangers to her and tell them things
that were for their good, and which
made their hair almost stand on end, for
the reason that her revelations showed
that she knew almost every action of
their lives. In speaking of some per-
sons she said she knew every action of
their lives from childhood. Another
curious thing remains to be told.
In Gold Hill, fully half mile away
from the residence of the girl, are two
persons who appear to be affected
through her. One of them is a boy
about six years of age and the other a
man of mature age. Since she has been
stricken down these persons have felt
every change that has taken place in the
young lady's condition.; have known it
instantly. She has had frequent con-
WILSON'S, and whenever one of these fits
has seized her the man and the boy at
Gold Hill have in some way been made
aware of the fact. Also, whenever she
was seized with spell of vomiting
(Which spells were quite frequently the
fact was instantly known to the two per-
sons at Gold Hill In order to prove
this, persons interested in this curious
business have made many quick trips
from Gold Hill to the Divide, carefully
noting the time, and always found that
the man and boy had exactly described
the young lady's condition.
