Recently little English girl in Lon
don leaned against the door Of an un-
dergrosnd railway train, and it swung
open, letting the child fall out into the
dark tunnel The mother was frantic,
and it required the combined efforts Of
all those in the compartment to pre-.
vent her springing out after her little
daughter Trains followed each other
about every two minutes, and even if
the little fye.y .year-old had escaped from
the fall, she would have been almost
instantly run over by the succeeding
trains. When the cars came TO Baker
Stree the officials instantly telegraplled
and sopped all traffic, and for ten
MINUTES the whole underground rail
way was unprecedenledly still most
unusual thing. Men with torches went
to find the body, and, strangely enough,
they passed without seeing it, for the
little girl came toddling after the train,
and reached Baker Street station, alone
and unhurt All fearful with the row
she had caused, seeing her mother in
Mysteries, she timidly cried Mamma,

A Dread of Natrimony.

In some cases, Chinese girls have such
dread oe the matrimonial chain that
they prefer death to marriage. 'Of all
people, said Confucius, women are
most difficult to manage. If you are
familiar with them, they become for
ward, and, if you keep them at a dis
tance, they become discontented.' So
many are the disabilities of married
women that many girls prefer going to
Buddhist or Tauist nun cries, or even
committing suicide, to trusting their
future 10 men of whom they can know
nothing but from the interested reports
of the go-betweens. Archdeacon Gray,
in his work on China, states that in
1878 eight young girls residing near
Canton 'who had been affianced drown.
ed themselves in order TO avoid mar
riage. They clothed themselves in their
best attire, and at eleven O'Clock, in
the darkness of the ernight. having bound
themselves firmly together, they threw
themselves into a tributary stream OF
the Canton river

F'ilthiness Of Imported Rags.

Great quantities ofrags are shipped
to the United States from all parts of
the world. They are used for making
paper, and are sent from the seaboard
to the various paper mills throughout
the country. The annual importa-
ton amounts to about five hundred
thousand bales. Each bale contains
from four hundred to one thousand
pounds of rags. They are tightly
pressed together, and come into this
country securely bound for shipping.
You can have no idea of the sources
from which these rags are obtained.
A large quantity of them come from
Japan, and thousands OF bales from
Calcutta.
The Calcutta rags are the worst.
They are made up in large part from
the wrappings of dead bodies. The
bodies of the dead are thrown into the
river, and when these rags float ashore
or can other wise be gotten, they are
shipped here for the paper trade.
Sometimes impurities of different kinds
creep into the bales. In one bale, not
long ago, dead baby was found, and
in other bales other foul matter has
been discovered.
The Egyptian rags are largely taint-
ed with camels manure, and those
gathered from the cutters and streets
of Shanghai are foul beyond descrip-
ton. A great amount of rags comes
from Japan to u.s. think there are
more than forty thousand bales now
on the way. Some of the rags sent
to this country come from districts
in which infectious diseases are rag
ing, and it is fact worth noticing
that all of the vessels arriving here, in
which smallpox has broken out, Fave
been vessels carrying rags.

A Georgia Romance.

About two years before the war, near
pretty and substantial residence near
a. prosperous little town, beautiful
young lady. about fourteen, was Sleep
ing in a hammock swung from two
stately oaks In grove. She was a
pretty picture of innocence and grace,
| and won the admiration Of the passers.
In med0w 20 the rear acfat meek. eyed
COW raclined in the shade, ruminating
the food she had gathered in the cool of
the morning. Across the road from
the house, the girl, and the COW Is a
meadow, branch running through it,
and coming up the branch is a boy
with gun. When within one hundred
yards of the girl, and about one hum
dred and fifty yards from the COW, a
bird few up and sailed I'm the air to-
ward the COW; the boy fired at the bird,
which flew on unhurt, but the COW re
ceived a pretty strong dose of shot.
She Immediately arose in fright, dashed
through the grove, caught the girl and
hammock on her horns, and rushed
with her shrieking victim about the
lot. The terrified girl bt came silent,
and the crowd of relatives and friends
in pursuit thought that she was dead.
The wild fury Of the cow as she rushed
around soon tore the netting loose, and
the girl dropped unconsciously to the
ground. She was picked up and taken
into the house, and on examination on
ly few minor bruises were found.
The boy, thinking he was the innocent
cause of the killing of the young girl,
disappeared. It was thought that he
had perished by his own hand, but a.
bout six years after the war travel-
stained stranger was i'm the town in
quiring for persons, most of whom had
been swept away by the wal. After
a long search the stranger found an old
man ON load of wood, and in conyer-
sation with him learned where ore OF
the parties he was ia search or lived, a
few miles out of town. He went there,
made himself known, aud turned out
TO be the boy of the gun, The people
he found were his father aud mother,
who had mourned him dead for eight
years. The boy had been in South
America, got rich, and. yearning for
| the love of the old folks. returned to the
desolate home of his childhood and
made his loyed ones comfortable. For
the first time, then, hearing that the
girl was uninjured, he called on her,
found her pretty, good and first-class
home woman. He put i'm with will,
got her heart as his own, and the old
folks consent, and has been for the
last twelve or fourteen years one of the
leading men of this section This is a

George Washington as Jumper.

When Washington was young man
in travelling along the upper Potomac
he stopped at an inn one day and inquir-
ed the news. The landlord told him
the sensation of the day was jumping
match for wife on the estate of one of
the richest planters near by. On beng
told that it was open to all corners,
Washington started for the place and
arrived there just as the jumping was a.
bout completed. He noticed that the
young lady i'll question was highly
pleased with the successful jumping of
one of the competitors who had out-dis-
tanced all of the others. At the close
Washington asked if he might try his
chances. He was told to go ahead land
he made by far the best jump of the
day. AS he returned to the crowd he
noticed that the young lady's face had
fallen, and he went up to her and re-
marked You would have preferred I
had not been the one to
excel the other p The lady candidly
said this was so. Then said Wash
ington, Il give my chance to him. and
he returned as unknown as he came.
Towards the close of the Revolution
this young lady, now the wife of colo
mel of militia, met Washington and on
telling her husband that she had met
him before he doubted the fact, and the
two went to Washington to decide it.
Yes, replied Gen. Washington, L saw
your wife at the jumping match before
she was married, and 1 believe l won
her.
