Fire Escapes.

"Yes,' said the college student, ''all our boys are strongly in favor of putting fire escapes on the college buildings. They wouldn't facilitate matters much, perhaps, in the way of getting COWS up stairs into the recitation rooms, but they would be no end of convenience if we wanted to take pieces of cart up to the top of the dormitory and set it up again on the ridgepole, or to pass up pails oi water to fill the chapel bell and let it freeze over night in the winter. Besides, if anybody wanted to get out on racket it would be enough sight easier going down ladder than lightning rod or cave spout, not to mention climbing ur again. Oh, you bet we should all vote for the fire escapes" 7"

mans grave. They bury their dead above ground in wooden boxes, over which a thin layer of dirt is thrown. Esch one was marked by headboard,
 cred with hieroglyphics. Some of i the graves were newly made. and the little piles of paper money, which the dead mans friends had placed there to pay his expenses in the other world, had not yet blown away. On some of the graves were bowls of rice and baked chicken. Dead Chinamen are always supplied with provisions for the long journey. I remarked on the great num- Der of graves to the brakeman.
 "Yes," he said "it is sickly coun- try-for Chinamen P
 That fellows irony was incomparable.
 All the sections are worked by Chi nese laborers. At one of the section houses where we stopped the " boss y came out and chatted with Martin.
 "Oh, by the way" he said at length, ''that fellow who was ki-who died yes terday is laying out there in the car house. This new gang of mine are from Canton, and it's agin' their religion to bury Hong Kong man."
 "They be hanged !" answered Martin, "Call 'em up."
 The section boss did as directed, and the car was soon surrounded by pigtails Martin addressed them from the plat form. One Celestial, who seemed to be the spokesman, replied. Martin promptly knocked him down. He dealt out per suasive kicks and cuffs to several others. Before we left, the dead Chinaman from Hong Kong was securely boxed, and az we passed around curve, saw his Gan ton friends begin to throw dirt over the rude coffin.
 My friend the brakeman, after we be- came better acquainted, volunteered some interesting information about "Cap'n." As it was mainly of statisti- cal nature, am unable to give his re- marks verbatim. He seemed to hold the subduer of the Chinese in high esteem, and gave minute data respecting the number of Celestials he had "croaked. J
 "They'll git him one O these days, though" " he sagely concluded "They've ditched his train twice, an it wouldn't surprise me any day if he was killed These Chinese are mighty treacherous. ,
 A gentleman connected with the road informs me since, that Martin is invalu able. Without his assistance the com. pany would be unable to control the Chinamen. He is judge, jury and ex. ecutioner, and whenever his white teeth gleam the Celestials shiver, for they know from experience that this siniste, smile means business.

The American Blower.

Speaking of smart fellows, says 8 London correspondent, if you want to see the "great American blower to perfection, drop in at the American Exchange" in the Strand any day about Il o'clock and hear the gathered colony talk. You will find lot of fellows there who can out "blow" any storm Old Prob can prophecy. It is "the thing 7" for the newly-arrived American inn mediately to rush out and buy hat, an umbrella, leng-tailed English New market coat, and at once assume an English accent and intonation-say he will be "at 'ome" such an hour; pro- nounce either eye-ther; talks of nothing but "pun's' and of millions as glibly as of dollars. He affects everything English, and the height of his ambition is to be taken for an Englishman; and there he sits and boasts and brags and makes an ass of himself, and all the time is under the impression that he is creating sensation. He generally is, but of quite different kind from what he SUD- poses.

 AN EVENING THO UGHT

If could think our household pet That left the fold one autumn morn. Was sleeping in the valley yet, Across the velvet-tinted lawn
 If she were sleeping there to-day, Ny heart would weep its life away. So cold and black the winter air, 30 desolate the drifting snow; Like demons from their midnight lair, The winds of winter come and go,
 And like sad and doleful sprite, Seem singing to my heart tonight We laid her heath tha lilly bloom, When autumn touched the tender hours. And scattered OCT the new-made tomb Her offering of laevss and flowers, And then, it seemed the earth and sky Were whispering, "'Tis the time to die" Now, gathered at the festal board, Where nightly all the dear ones meet. My fearful eyes, know not why, Arc resting on vacant seat,
 And where the winds of winter blow, My heart Is underneath the snow. A breath of fragrance comes to me, Again feel loving hand ln mine, and like sweet minstrelsy voice comes from the summerland- "Nor storm, nor winter sweeps the shor. Where shall dwell forever more."

 Senor Sagasta, the Premier. has shown himself strong enough to cope with the situation. He wisely forbears from probing the depths of the sore, for he knows that the body polite of Spain is gangrened with the spirit of revolution. But it still remains to be seen whether the "Black Hand is an isolated society, or whether the grievances, which it pro- fessed to cure are so deep that the throne of King Alfonso is in danger.

In a Rope. Walk.

At the ropewalk in Bath, Me-, the spinners wind huge skeins of Manila hemp around them, catch thread or two of it upon the hook, and as the spindle whirls walk slowly backward down the length, spinning as they go, and leaving before them long twisted strand. Every twenty minutes they dis appear from sight and are seen as far as the eye csn reach coming into view down the dimly-lighted walk, nearly mile away. Thirty or more trips day make 5 wand and every wand IS half mile, and every day each spinner walks fifteen miles and spins seven rites of strands.

One Button.

The Emperor William invariably wears his military uniform when at home. His study overlooks the Inter den Linden. While at his writing table he loosens the upper buttons of his double breasted coat and throws back the lapels, but every day when the troops march past he hastily buttons his coat and stands in the window, in full view of the soldiers. A visitor, noting the trouble he took, asked him why he was so particular to button even the top button of his coat. My soldiers, <" said tha5E'nperor, "have never seen me with my coat unbuttoned, and do not intend they ever shall. For, let me tell you, it is the one button left unbuttoned that is the ruin of an army"

BEAVERS. Butte formed bea- yer island few years ago in the grounds of Mount Stuart, near Rothesay, and it has been complete success, these in telligent animals having multiplied so rapidly that any country gentleman de- string to establish a similar community can obtain a supply from Lord Butte. They eat the bark of plane trees and Scotch frs, and require weekly supply of fresh willows. All the ground about the ornamental water in which they are quartered is honey-combed with tunnels leading to their habitation, which is en- tered at the bottom of the water.

A ROCHESTER K1TE.-A kite was made near Rochester, N. Y., recently, of lum- Der two inches wide by half an inch in thickness. It was covered with Manila paper and the surface contained nearly 25O square feet. The string by which the kite was flown was of three-eighth- inch rope and 5000 feet in length.

Then he went to the nearest groggery and bought glass of whisky. The climax of the story is tremendous whipping, given to the tramp by the original donor of the nickel
