Paris, Sewer ClcnnIng sxstem.

1t is scarcely probable that any other
city in the world will have, at least for a
long period, system of sewer cleaning
as efficient as that of Paris. The sewers
are all constructed with that end In view,
workmen can carry on their labors with
out STOPPING, and the bottom is SO shaped
as to facilitate the work by the different
forms of water gates. In London second
sewer or gallery is sometimes constructed
above the main conduit by which par
tial cleaning is effected. There is not the
slightest doubt that all cities will have
eventually TO build their great intersect-
ing sewers, at least, in such manner
that workmen can pass through them and
clean them. No amount Of flushing will
ever suffice. Paris Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle.

A Chinese Youngsters Childhood.

AS baby he is called little "wa-wa," /"
a very suggestive name, and his first
Chinese words are "pa" and "ma," just
as though he spoke English. The first
great event of his life, and his first trial,
Is when the barber is called in to shave
his head. He generally proves on that
occasion to be true "wa-wa," with
vigorous lungs.
After this first shaving, his head for
several years seems 10 send forth what
may be called ''queue sprouts" in every
direction, and from every part of his
skull where the hair ought to grow.
Sometimes as many as five or six, each
braided and tied with red cord, arc
found upon the boy. The great day OF
his youthful life, tho day of "trousers.
with pockets in 'em, Is when all these
smaller queues are shaved off, and the

THE BUFFALO QUESTION.
4 Solution Which should lie Adopted e,
Oncc---A Manitoba Herd.

Solution Which Should lie Adopted ct
Once---A Manitoba Herd.
There i3 10 question in Taxidermi.t
Richardson's opinion that the buffalo is
now well nigh extinct on the plains.
There are few in Yellowstone park pro-
tccted by the government, but they are
likely to bc killed at any time. In Texas
n herd OF about thirty Is owned by one
ranchman; several other small lunches
may he found, but the days when they
rambled at large over the country have
been numbered. Unless some means of
protecting them Is adopted within ter
years the American bison must become
an extinct species. In Central park Di.
rector Conliin has several specimens ol
buffalo, but the COW is growing old and
another one has not been secured. The
buffalo will not breed in captivity unless,
like other domestic animals, il has abun-
dant room for feeding and exercise. In
Central plrl, the animals are confined in
narrow stalls because tho space at the
disposal OF the manager IL so cramped
There is practical solution of the b,tf-
falo question, Mr.. Richardson thinks,
which. II adopted at once. may prevent
the extinction Of the animal. The buff
falocs are easily domesticated, and If nc
customed from birth TO domestic sur
roundings, they become quite ~ easy to
control as ordinary domestic cattle. In
tho northwest, where the winters arc
long and the thermometer sinks below
zero at the slightest provocation, buffalo
subsist without any discomfort, while the
winters there arc generally fatal tc
domestic cattle unless housed and looked
after with the greatest care.
''In Manitoba, said Mr.. Richardson
