Japanese Dress.

To each class of the japanese popula-
ton special description OF clothing IS
assigned, varying in material according
to season. These may be divided into
the ordinary, festive, mourning, profes-
sional, official, state, and other special
fashions of dress. The labOrer, farmer,
and handicraftmen do not overburden
themselves with clothing; a loln cloth
forms their light summer ralment, while
their cold weather costume IS usually
comprised in q wrapper and short glrdle.
The better class of artisans and shop
keepers wear hdOrj, or short dress,
over all, when out of doors, and from
the thinnest gauze which they wear in
the heat of summer they change IN sue
cession to single cotton cloth, to lined
cotton, and, finally, to cotton-wadded
garments in winter, silk clothing being
reserved for festivals, visits, or great
occasions. FIremen wear thickIy-pad-
ded and quilted dresses, with mittenS
and cap to match them. Small officials
and many of the better class OF trades
men use the hakanla, or split petticoat,
the dress being tucked into it, and the
haorj worn over all. On special Occa-
sions, and in place of the haOri, an up
per dress, resembling a pair OF wings,
hangs from the shoulders. 1t is formed
of a material resembling the hatama
worn with it, but is seldom seen at
present. The kamj shine, or winged
Jacket, is also worn on special occa-
sions. The ordinary dress of the daimios
resembles the latter somewhat. But it
would require a special chapter to de-
scribe it fully. The dress Of females of
the lower and middle classes differs on
ly in the quality of material, the fashion
of all being alike, In the national mode
of dressing the hair, now falling into
disuse, the locks are gathered to the
crown of the head, tied there, and the
queue carried over to the forehead, a
patch being kept clean-shaven, on
which it sts.-COr. Boston Herald.

A Faithful Dog.

In the southern part of Bolton there
has lived for six or eight years past an
Englishman, aged about sixty, by the
name of Woolrich, who did not appear
to be doing much for living, he Kept
five dogsEsome of them ugly-and few
people went nearthe house. Last Thurs
day notification was left with First Sc
lectman White that Woolrich had not
been seen for several days. Messrs.
White and Sumner, two reSolute men,
went to the house. They were greeted
by the furious onset of a large coach
doc, who, on their opening the door
wide enough to look in, bounded Tor
ward with an ominous grOwl and a dis
play of teeth that meant mischief. Inc
men shut the door and went to the WIN
dow. Looking in, they saw Woolrlch
sitting in a chair by the stove, his head
bent forward, as if asleep. Unable to
arouse him, and the dog continuing to
exhibit the ugliest symptoms, 1t was re-
solved to kill him Mr.. White had
brought his gun, but the dog kept SO
near his master, as if guarding him, tnat
it was not deemed safe to fire from the
window; and, raising this, the visitors
hurled a stone, to start the dog forward,
He dashed at them with a furious
bound, when the gun was discharged,
killing the faithful animal instantly,
Going into the room, the visitors dis
covered that Woolrich was dead. Prob,
ably he had been dead several days. and
had been frozen to death. He was not
known as a drinking man. His other
dogs. starved out, had left him, but this
one faithful and formidable animal had
refused to desert him. and stood it out
bravely by his side in cold and hunger
The dog fell a martyr to his devotion
and fidelity.-Harttord (COnn.) I'nleS'

Famous Men OF Muscle.

Among the Greeks the successful ath.
lete was crowned with laurels and load.
ed down with wealth and honOrs.
Milo six times won the palm at both
the Olympic and Pythian games. He
is said to have run mile with four
year old OK upon his shoulders, and
afterward killed the animal with one
blow of his fist, and ate the entire car
cass in one day. So great was his mus
cular power that he would bind a cord
around his head and break it by the
swelling pressure of the veins. An or
dinary meal for Milo was twenty pounds
of meat, as much bread, and fifteen pintS
of wine.
Polvdamus, of Thessalia, was of colos-
sal height and prodigious strength, and,
it is said, alone and without weapons,
killed an enormous enraged lion. One
day, it is recorded, he seized bull by
its hind feet, and the animal escaped
only by leaving the hoof in the grasp OF
the athlete.
The Roman Emperor MaXiminus was
upward of eight feet in height, and, like
Milo, of Crotona, could squeeze to
powder the hardest stone with his fin
gers and break the leg of a horse by a
kick.
While prisoner in Germany Richard
l. accepted an invitation to a boxing
match with the son of his jailer. He
received the first blow, which made him
stagger; but recovering, with a blow Of
his fist he killed his antagonist on the
spot. -
Topham, an Englishman, born in 1710,
was possessed of astonishing strength.
His armpits, hollow in the case of ordi-
nary men, were with HIM full of mus
cleS and tendons. He would take bar
of iron, with its two ends held in his
hands, place the middle of the bar be-
hind his neck and bend the eXtremities
by main force until they met together,
and bend back the iron straight again.
The famous Scanderbeg, King of Al
bania, who was born in 1414, was man
of great stature, and his feats of sword
exercise have never been equaled. On
one occasion, with his cimeter, he struck
his antagonist such blow that its force
cleaved him to the waist.
Maurice, Count of Saxony, was es-
specially noted for the surprising mus
cular power of his hands. On one oc-
casion, needing acorkscrew, he twisted
a large iron nail round into the required
shape with his fingers, and opened half
dozen bottles Of wine with it. Another
time he picked up number OF horse
shoes and with his hands snapped them
in two as readily as if made of glass.
If history is to be believed, Phatyllus,
of Crotona, could jump distance of
ffty-six feet.
Strut, an English authority on games
and amusements, speaks of Yorkshire
Jumper named Ireland, whose powers
were marvellous. He was six feet high,
and at the age of eighteen leaped, with
out the aid Of spring board, over nine
horses ranged side by side.--Brenta"o'S

Griilith's Valuation.


"Grihith's valuation" has been so
frequently mentioned in the cable dis
patches, with reference to the Irish
land troubles, that a brief explanation
of it will be of interest to our readers.
1t is substantially a valuation of land IN
Ireland made for purposes OF taxation
by Sir Richard John Griffith, some forty
years ago, which is much lower than
that now made by the landlords. In a
letter, written in 1S43, which has re-
Gently been reprinted by the London
Times, Sir Richard says;
"In regard to the valuation made
under my direction, | am of opinion
that one-third being added to the prices
contained in the field-books would
,,aal.4- full AL. high rent -higher- than
most gentlemen rent their lands, but
not higher than small proprietors and
middlemen let their lands. This rent
would not include the Inherent charge
or any tax to which lands are liable"
This valuation has been accepted by
the League, though it is said that the
best land was valued too low in 1913
and the poor land too high. Sir Richard
Griffith was an engineer in his earlier
life, and from 1851 to 1864 was Chair

Is Geology a Science..-Men Who Have
Lost Fortunes by Trusting to 1t.

The lronton Scientific Society gener-
erally has an ante-eSsay talk, which is
of times more interesting than the es-
say itself. A few nights ago, in the
course of one of these talks, Mr.. Morris
intimated that geology was not a
science. This brought DR.. Levessy,
who is the geologist of the Society, to
the front, and for half an hour the con-
versation was incessant and vigorous,
for there was strong support to DR..
Morris assertion.
To maintain the anti-geology side the
case of Oak Ridge furnace was men
toned, which was located, under the
authority of Professor Mather, one Of
the ablest and most experienced geolo-
oists of this country. There is no doubt
but that this furnace was scientifically
located and according to the principles
of geology, the ore ought to have been
plenty; but in fact it was not, and one
blast was sufficient to show that vital
want. Professor Mather and Professor
Mitchell, both eminent men of science,
lost heavily in trusting to the warrant
of science in locating furnace.
We have repeatedly heard this Incl
dent urged against geology. We have
since learned on high authority of an
other and this is, that Gen. Tom Ewing
invested largely and broke himself up,
trusting to the Judgment of the late
Professor Andrews, Assistant State
Geologist. Professor Andrews had
large opportunities for observation,
was thoroughly acquainted with the
principles of geology, and indicated
where he thought vast fields of ore and
coal existed. General Ewing followed
up this scientific verdict by making ex-
tensive investments, but he found in
time, that geology had left him out in
the cold. LaUJerIy we nnu InaI Uen-
eral E. went to Wall Street, where
there is neither law nor science and re-
cuperated to some extent.
We do not reproduce these incidents
to prove that geology is not a science,
for we believe it is, but merely to show
that geology and finance do not har-
monize every time.-Irontoa0n (Ohto)

A Smart Grocer.

A Michigan Avenue grocer took a
new clerk few days ago, and among
other things he cautioned him to keep
a bright lookout and see that none OF
the goods at the front door were stolen,
The other evening when the grocer re-
turned from supper he thought he would
give the clerk a fright, and he crept
Softly up and took twelve dressed
chickens from a basket and carried
them around to the back door and hung
them on hook. When the chickens
were missed the clerk was given a bad
scare by being informed that he must
pay for them. After while the grocer
decided that the joke had been carried
far enough, and he went out to bring in
the chickens. They had flown away,
While he was soaring the clerk some
one had come through the alley and
provided himself with fowl to last all
the week. Detroit Free Press.

The telegraph indicates the arrange
ments that have been agreed upon with
reference to the funeral of President
Garfield. The remains will be taken to-
day to Washington, where they will lie in
state in the rotunda Of the Capitol over
tomorrow. On Friday they will be re-
moved to Cleveland, at which place they
will be inferred in Lake View Cemetery
on Monday. 1t appears that the Presi-
dent left a request to be buried in Cleve-
land. The autopsy was to have been
performed yesterday afternoon. Monday
is the day that will be observed through
out the country as a mark Of respect to
the distinguished dead.

PRESIDENT Arthur.

Chester A. Arthur is now the lawful
President of the United States. The
dispatches inform us that he was yester-
day sworn in. The oath Of office was
administered at his residence by n Of
the Judges of the New York Supreme
Court. Immediately after taking the
oath President Arthur left by special
train for Long Branch. He refused to
be interviewed concerning his future
course and purposes. There will proba-
bly, be no talk of changes in the Cabinet
until after the burial Of the late Presi-
dent Garfield. President Arthur is rep
resented as being overwhelmed with
grief over the sad af1iction which has
befallen the country.

GRANT.

1t is reported on good authority, says
the Bodie Free Press, that a deed from
General Grant and his brother in-law,
Mr.. Dent, to the Atlantic & Pacific Rail-
road Company for a large tract of swamp
land in Alameda County, extending from
Park street, Alameda, to the Alameda
ferry, has been forwarded to A. A. Cohen,
who is the Financial Agent of the com
pany on this coast. The sale has been
made at an advance of SIC, 900 on the
original price. General Grant seems to
be as successful in his business projects
as he was in his military campaigns.

WHAT MAY mAPPEN.

We believe that President Arthur will
organize nearly an entire new Cabinet
within the next sixty days. He will
,rant around him men of his own choos-
ing. 1t is apt to be the case that the
members Of the present Cabinet will ten
der their designations DOB after President
Garfield shall have been laid away.
President Arthur may possibly decline
TO receive them for a time, or until mat
tiers shall have adjusted themselves to
the new order of things. Then he may
be expected to call to his aid men and
friends who are strictly in harmony with
him. PROFESSIONALLY Conkling can be
Secretary of State if he desires the place.
Senator Jones Of Nevada is also n of
the intimates Of the new President.
Lately he has been stopping at Arthur's
house. Senator Jones has given consid-
cradle thought to financial matters. 1t
is reasonable to suppose that he can have
Windows position as Secretary of the
Treasury, if he should prefer it to his
seat in the Senate. Should Jones go into
the Cabinet Governor Kinkead will be
called upon to appoint his successor until
the meeting of the next Legislature.
Who would the Governor name The
SENTINEL believes that the choice would
lie between Gen. r. NJ. Clark of Carson
and Col. w. w. Bishop of Eureka. The
General is especially friendly with His
Excellency, and the Colonel canvassed
the State with him. There is at least a
chance that Nevada may have a new
Senator at a very early day.
