A queer story is told of a man named John Colcord, who left Sanford, Me-, many years ago and was stranded on one of the Sandwich Islands. Not knowing what to do for living there, he sets up in business as maker of gods for tho ignorant natives, making his images from iron with tools picked up from the debris of vessels wrecked. These images being indestructiblc gained tho favor of the islanders, and Colcord afterward married native belle. One day in the streets of Honolulu Colcord met man who had been picked up up from the wreck of vessel short time before, who claimed to hail from Maine, and on investigation Colcord dis covered that the strangers former home was in Sanford, and that his name was Thompson, and that he was his (Col- cord's) old school master. Thompson brought Colcord's four children to this country to bo educated. All four after ward returned to Honolulu, whilo Col cord, after tho death of his wife, re- turned to Maine and married again.

A Diamond in Her Tooth. s

About year ago it became fashion able in New York for young ladies to have diamond set in one of their teeth, which sparkled resplendently whenever they smiled. The fashion grew in popularity, and was adopted in other of the large cities, but until recently tho extravagant habit did not reach Louisville. Now, however, there is a young lady who can be seen promenad. ing Fourth avenue almost any aftcrn oon, her red, ripe lips parted with sweet smile. At the point of one of her upper front teeth sparkles brilliant little stone, which is the occasion of the cver- pleased mood of its fair owner. The young lady, who is the daughter of $ banker, recently returned from visit to New York, and while there "caught on'' to the craze. She has numerou: rare and costly stones, but it is safe to say that none nor all of them give their fair owner half the pleasure ex tracted from the diminutive gem inn bcddcd in her pearly front teeth. Tht case mentioned is probably the only one of the kind in Louisville. -[ Louis vile Courier Journal.

Philosophy of the Japanese.

At a meeting of tho Presbyterian Union in New York Rev. Dr. Gorge w. Knox, of Yok ohama, made an elo- quent address, in which he reviewed tho philosophy prevalent in Japan, aud drew parallel between tho volcanic character of the people and tho volcanic origin of their country. The first prin- ciplc of their philosophy is that this universe centres in tho Mikado, who holds the highest gralc. The seconi principle is that all things else are in lower gradations and that the duty of man grades him. Tho duty of one is to rule, of another to obey; one to bo rich, another to be poor; one to be a student, another to be merchant; and so on-- and that even brute does tho duty which gives 1t it's graie. That mans duty is obedience; that loyalty to the Mikado gives him the right of being, and patriotism the right of expanding that being. Under this system self dis appears in the duty to be done, and Japanese is justified in sinking every thing in this duty, even to the striking down of his wife, his children or him. self.
 Tho average earnings of man aud his wife for one year will enable them, with the greatest economy, to lay up about $3 month the average farm belonging to one family is but one and quarter acres. Three-sevenths of the produce of this has to go for the rent, aud upon the balance the farmer has to support himself and his family. The population is tn, most congestcd of any in tho world, with a consequent falling away of moral ideas, so that impurity is the normal condition. Ths Japanese philosophy, said Dr. Knox in conclu- sion, has an entire lack of individual ism, and needs the Christian religion, which cxalts the individual into intelli- gence and responsibility.

When the gong sounded one at a. m., to give the correct time, she started for tho bcll-rope, caught it with her mouth and vigorously pulled it.

What It Costs to Stop a Train

It is not generally known that loss of power is involved in the star ting and stopping of an ordinary train of cars. Thcro is required about twice as much power to stop a train as to start one, the loss of power depending upon the momentum. A train going at the rate of sixty mlles an hour can, by means of the Westinghouse air brake, be stopped within 1sO yards from the first applica- tioa of tho brake. Now enough power is lost to carry this same train fifteen miles over plane surface. First, there is the momentum acquired by the train flying at this remarkable rate of speed, then the loss of steam in applying the brakes, and lastly, lut not least, the extra amount of coal to compensate for all these losses. By computation it has been ascertained that every complete stop involves a cost of $1. 17.-Kansas City Star.

"Bear" Steaks of Horse Flesh.

Idon't know whether or not horse has ever been sold here in Boston for food, but am sure that it has been cooked and eaten. Somo time ago a leading "vet," who is, believe, an ad- vocate of this use of horscfesh, invited several persons of his acquaintance, somewhat noted as gourmets, to joln him in little supper of bear steaks at one of our hotels. He represented that the bear had been shot in Maine and sent to him as present. The fact was, however, that the dishes which he set before his guests were composed of horsc meat-a plump young nag, be- longing to friend of his, having bro. ken leg, so that it became necessary to kill him, thus furnishing material for the feast. All who were present at it enjoyed it very much, and considered that the steaks and other forms of sup posed bears meat provided for them were excellent and as good as beef or lamb. Not till the last dish had been removed did the "vet" enlightea his guests as to the real naturo of their en- tertainment, and when he did so their after-dinncr tranquility was not little disturbed. Most of them turned pale, few were angry, and ono or two cool aud hardy spirits were only amused. Almost all of them, however, declared upon reflection that they were converts to the theory which they had unwit- tingly put into practice; but neverthe. less, doubt very much if a single one of the party would accept another invi- tation from that "vet' without guar antee as to the character of the viands of which they were invited to partake. -[ Boston Post.
