l remember when the telegraph was first
introduced into Japan, there was always
native staff with one European in charge
OF the Office At first, while the Japs were
learning to send messages, they had to rely
upon that European entirely The natives
themselves were too proud TO acknowledge
ignorance Of English. and when message
was brought in, if the native operator was
there he would look learned, Us If he un-
derstoOd all about it, and when the sender
left he would show the message to some
other foreigner and ask him TO read it.
This lasted for awhile, until the firms
began to find out all about each others
business and then IL stopped But the
japanese are very precise and correct, as
rule, in their pronunciation of English, as
they learn more or less like parrots One
day a man went into the HioCo telegraph
Office with message to be sent to Osaka.
The polite Jap took it from him, looked
blandly over il and then said
"Gou-caunOt-seud- -thiS-m message-tO-

MEN AGAINST HORSES
The Latter Best in Short Races; tho
Former in Long Ones.

As regards speed for mile or two. or
even several miles, there can be no com
parisOn between the pace of a horse and
that of man on bicycle. The horse is
far and away the speedier: but after
about twenty or twenty-five miles the
horse, it seems, begins to come back to the
man. The relative speed Of horse and
man, quite unimcumbered by weight has
never been tried, as it is always necessary
either to ride or drive horse when he is
being tried.
But in comparing the best times on
record of a trotting horse driven in
light gig, as is the fashion in America.
and man riding and propening a twenty
seven-pouud bicycle, the conditions. taking
the relative strength of the contestants
into consideration, may be thought toIer-
ably equal Maud s. Mr. VandcrbiIt's
celebrated horse, trotted one mile in BOO
the champion time for the biCyCle is 2:Sg
Leaving out intermediate distances |
find that Lady Mack did five miles in
1900; Mr.. Hitler has ridden il on a
bicycle in 14:lS. Controller did ten miles
in 27:23 IA; Mr.. English accomplished that
distance in 29:l9 3-5. Twenty miles was
done by the horse Capt McGowan in
5S:25; Mr.. English, who holds the record
for twenty miles, accomplished it in
59:06 3-5. Twenty miles well within the
hour must surely be looked on as a won
derful performance. But after twenty
miles the man rapidly begins to go to
the front The best fifty miles on record
has been done by Ariel in 3:55:4O 1-2, but
Ion Keith -FalcOner rode that distance on
a bicycle in 2:f3:5S 3-5. Conqueror travelled
100 miles in S:35:53: r X. Fry, on a
bicycle, did 100 miles in 5.50:05 %. The
same distance, 100 miles, was done on the
high road by George Smith in 7:Il:lO
The other times mentioned were per
formed on the cinder-path. No trial has
been recorded for a horse beyond 100 miles
But a tTicyclist has ridden 222 l-2 miles in
"a hours, and few weeks ago performer
on a newly invented little twO-wheeled
machine of strange appearance, called a
kangaroo, travelled POO miles within the
same time. 1t is, therefore, plain that in
staying power a man on bicycle, or even
on a tricycle., which is a much heavier
machine, not primarily adapted for racing
is infinitely superior to Il horse. Probably
up to twenty-five miles the best horse
would beat the best bicyclist, but, after
that distance, the horse would, in yacht
racing phrase, never see the way his ad-
versary went Nineteenth Century

GnnE Riders.

The MeNicaus and South Americans are
all good riders and they constantly perform
feats Of hurscmauship which wOuld do
credit to the Bedouius themselves It *
common amusement for them TO turn a
horse at full speed upon a point designated
by a blanket; they viii charge solid
rampant with the rapidity Of lightning aud
stop 50 suddenly that the feet of the horse
will exactly touch the wall For small
wager some have been known TO rush al a
cli1, rear their horses furelegs in the air
so that they would for a moment tremble
over the dread precipice and tlira whirl
round into safety.
But the feat which shows most COM
pletely the high training of the horse Is
that which Darwin Saw performed ia
Chill many years ago. The rider held the
rcinS loosely in his left hand and dashed
at full ful speed up 10 post previously
prepared and made the horse execute =
complete wheel round a., while. with his
right arm extended at full length. he kept
one finger Just touchiug the post liaN-
ing conn plcted the circuit the reins were
transferred To the right hand. and without
pause the horse wheeled round The post IN
the opposite direction the rider keeping

InnnmmabIc Ornaments.

Pampas grass must now be put among
the things beautiful in their place. but re
quiring caution in placing either OF them
near a light, or in striking a match too
near their vicinity. An example OF recent
Confiagration by pampas grass IS sent us
by Philadelphian who had received
large packet of the showy and feathery
grasses from California in a Christmas
box. The grasses were laid on the table
under a shaded lamp, whose flame was
covered by Il chimney In moving them
about, sort Of light dust or down was
released from the plumes, and so, in the
most unexpected way, the grasses caught
fire when they were simply lifted from the
table. the floating, cottony substances
from the pampas. must have settled over
the flame of the lamp, or in some way
communicated fire to the whole parcel.
Cottony dust is quite as combustible as
-four dust is known TO be and as the
pampas grass is quite popular ornament
1t is well to be little careful in handling
its downy stems after lamphght.

BURIED ALIVE.
A Chinese LePer Followed His own
CONN TO His Grave

In the village of Chim-louE, where the
Basil Chinese mission has a station. the
following sad event has lately taken
place. A man Of sixty years of age was
afflicted with leprosy and lived in a hut
within the village. The villagers often
urged the old man TO remove his hut out
side the village and live on the hills TO
prevent contamination, promising him
that they would always provide him with
food However. the Ieper did not wish to
leave the village, nor dared his relatives
press him TO do 50.
Lately il happened that the lcper was
lying asleep i'm his hut. His son came and
wanted TO bring him something 10 eat
but, calling into the hut he received no
answer from the father. There was soon
a gathering Of the people. but no one
ventured to go inside the hut. Some
stones were thrown at the door TO see if
the man took any notice of it, aud as there
was still no sign Of life in the hut the
general conclusion was that the occupant
was dead.
The resolution was forthwith taken TO
have the leper buried. His son went 10 a
neiEhboring village TO engage coolies for
digging a grave and carrying the corpse
ont. During the absence of the son the
elder Of the village came TO the scene,
NL.
opened the door and entered the hut,
when 10 and behold, il turned ont that
the leper had only enjoyed a sound sleep.
However, the coolies had been engaged
for a certain sum of money, and came
along with the son, ready to do the
work which WAS required Of them. or at
all events receive the promised pay. After
some deliberation the villagers unaui-
mously put il before the IeTer that as
things had come TO this pass. he had bet
ter make up his mind and allow the
funeral of himself % go on. To this the
unfortunate man consented. and took
leave Of his dauEhter-in-law and two
grandchildren, en- joining upon her TO feed
the two pigs well and also take care Of the
poultry.
A coffin was now provided and the
shrOud redeemed from the pawushop
fowl was killed and rice aud pork uro-
vided as farewell dinner for the leper.
Next morning very early the procession
started from the hut First came the
coffin carried by the coolies, and behind
II walked the leper 10 his grave. the son
and the elder bringing up the rear carry
ing the shruud and the pot which con-
tanned the opium. Having moved up
hill To a distance of about two miles from
the village, the party halted and grave
was dug. The leper took a last meal and
then swallowed the opium. After this
he put on the shroud and pair of shoes
and laid himself down in the coffin when
the coolies put the lid on il. without wait
ing till the leper should have lost con-
sciOusness. and lowered the coffin into the
grave lUDCrluliu Mail

Facts relating to the wardrobe of the

The rooms were lined with presses in new
oak. A room was given up to boots and
shoes, another to hats and bonnets a third
TO furs and opera cloaks, fourth to
dresses, a fifth to laces a sixth to siIken
stuffs that had not passed through the
room there were figures exactly her size

Alter a siege Of nine months and

After siege of nine months and.
seven days Khartoum, on the 26th of
January, wastalsen by the army of
Mahdi, and Gen. Gordon, its heroic
defender, was, it's supposed, either
captured or killed. The particulars
of the fall of the beleagured city are
not yet clearly asceftained. The
triumph of the Mahdi at Khartoum,
tits suggested by the Pall-MaU Ga
zette, may add fresh fuel to the flame
of anti=Christian fanaticism, and be
the signal for revolt among remote
and widely separated peoples which
have for many years borne patiently
the English yoke. The Gazette en-
phasizes this apprehension when it
says that England may have to look
to herself in India as well as Egypt,
and may have to strain all her ener-
gies to preserve her prestige and
power in quarters where she has
hitherto been supreme.
The British cabinet has determined
to give Gen. Wolseley carte blanche
to rescue or avenge the death of Gen.
Gordon.
