JAPANESE WRESTLING MATCHES.
They Have Something of n Religious Csiar-
acter-Not Very Irving,

Iney have something OF n IseDg1ouB Cntar-
acte-Not Very Trying.
One of the chief amusements Of the
Japanese are wrestling matches. These
are always taking place and attract
large crowds. The wrestlers, strange
to say, train to put on fat, rather than
to take it off, and the stomachs of some
of them are simply enormous. Around
these they wear a large band, which is
intended for the opponent to catch hold
of, l think; at least he generally does,
and otherwise there would be no sense
in having them SO strong. This band
and small pieces of cloth around the
waist and loins form the wrestling
costume. These wrestling matches
have something of a religious charac-
ter to them, as both sides before com
mencing go through a certain cere-
mony, as if imploring the aid of their
patron saint, and then throw a little
rice into the ring, which is about six
teen or twenty feet around, and is
marked out by a circle of raised dirt.
Each contestant has q referee, then
there is always an umpire, who, to
judge from the richness of his o S
tune and the airs he gives himself, is
the most important parsonage of them
all.
The wrestlers themselves are very
amusing in the amount of style they
put on. Always before beginning
they go through certain motions sup
posed to Timber the muscles and joints.
Yet the wrestling, to any one brought
up as we have been to matches taking
the nerve, wind, endurance ndmuscles
of the contestants, appear a perfect
farce. In the first place, any kind of
a throw counts, provided only the
man touches the ground; second, if
you push or back a man outside of the
ring it counts the same IS O fall;
thirdly, if in the space of a minute
and a half the wrestlers fail to throw
m another, or to push one or the
other out of the ring, then the umpire
stops them, first noticing carefully the
hold each n has. Then they go to
their corners and rest, and a drink of
water is brought to them, with which
they rinse out their mouths.
After waiting a few seconds the UNI
pire calls them into the middle of the
ring, and sees that each have exactly
the same hold that they did before
having been separated. This goes on
until one has been thrown or pushed
out of the ring, which may take from
twenty minutes to half an hour, dur
ing which time the crowd is in the
widest state of excitement. 1 wonder
what they would think could they see
n of our Greco-Roman matches,
which, if o brutal in the way of
hurting another, is certainly much
more Interesting and exciting to
watch, and demands more agility and
strength. The place where these
matches take place is generally sur
rounded by a wooden gallery holding
many persons, and having seats for
more underneath. This is made of
wood, not nailed together, but simply
bound together with straw, yet It
seems to hold perfectly.-Samuel f.
Farrar in Chicago Journal.

Short Essay on Wrinkles.

1t is customary to say that wrinkles
come from worrying, but the truth i.
most of them come from laughing
To know how to laugh is Just as inn
portant as to know when to do it. II
you laugh with the sides of your face
the skin will work loose in time and
wrinkles will form in exact accord
ance with what kind of laugh you
have. The ma who always wears q
smirk will have a series of semi-circu-
lar wrinkles covering his cheeks.
When a gambler, who has been &c
customed to suppressing his feelings,
laughs, a deep line forms on each side
of his nose and runs to the upper
corner of his mouth. In time this
line extends to his chin and assumes
the Shape of a half moon. A cadaver-
person with a waxlike skin is very
apt to have two broadly marked
wrinkles, one running up from the
jaw and the other under the eye.
These meet at right angles at the
cheekbone and look as though they
formed a knot at the ape The
scholars wrinkles form on hi brow,
while the scheming politicians come
round his eyes, where they look for all
the world like the spokes of u wheel

Nearly every one is familiar with
the burying beetle, and many have,
perhaps, watched its operations. No
ticing that dead moles and other small
animals laid on the loose ground soon
disappeared, Professor Gleditsch con
cluded to investigate the cause. Ac-
cordingly, he placed a mole in the
garden, and on the morning of the
third ~dayfound it buried some three
inches below the surface. Though
wondering why this service was per-
formed for the dead. mole, yet, as he
say only four beetles under the car
cass, he reburied it and in six days
found it overrun with maggots. 1t
was not until then hat the thought
struck him that these maggots were
the offspring of the beetles he he'd seen,
and that they performed the burial
rites in order to provide a place to de
post their eggs, where the newly
Matched young might have food fof
their n~ourishment.
Continuing his observations, Mr..
Gleditsch placed four of these beetles
under a glass case, with two dead
frogs. One pair buried the first frog
in twelve hours, and on the third day
the second one was similarly disposed
of. The professor then gave them n
dead %linnet, and a pair of the beetles set
to work to bury it. They pushed out
the dirt from beneath the body then
the male drove the female away and
worked alone for about five hours,
turning the linnet around in a moro
convenient position, and occasionally
mounting the body to tread it down.
After resting for an hour it proceeded
as before, alternately excavating and
pulling the bird from below, and then
treading it down from above. 1t was
buried by the end of the third day.
In fifty days the four beetles had
buried four frogs, three small birds,
two fishes, one mole, two grasshop-
pers, the entrails of q fish and two
morsels of the lungs of an ox.-Chi

The Riches of Alaska.

Governor Swineford, in his report,
states that the coast line of Alaska.
1921 miles, is nearly twice the com.
bined Atlantic and Pacific coast lines
of the United States. The market
value of the Alaska fisheries for last
year Is estimated at So, 900, 900. A
thousand salmon, averaging ten
pounds each, have been taken in Sitka
bay in a single haul. The seal fish
cries yield to the government $317,-
800 annually, or enough to pay 4 per
cent. on the amount paid Russia for
the country. A single island is said
to be practically a mountain of ore,
and to contain mineral wealth enough
to pay off the whole of our national
debt.
The fish commission steamer AL
batross sailed into Puget sound early
last month, after an interesting cruise
in Alaskan waters. Deep sea sound
ings were made to verify those made
by Commodore Belknap in the Tusca-
rora while locating a line for a Japan
csc cable in 1874. Capt. Tanner
found even greater depths in short
distances than the Belknap soundings.
AT one point $500 fathoms was re-
ported. In three miles the ocean bot
ON was found to sink from forty to
LOO fathoms, and in twenty miles at
another point from 500 to 2,1OO
fathoms, the ocean canyon being long
and deep.
Several new varieties of fish were
brought to the surface by travis and
by hook and line from these ocean
depths. One had a head like a shark,
with large teeth, but a body like an
eel or q snake, tapering to a point as
fine as a knitting needle. Some fine
SPECIMENS of shrimps were secured at
points near the coast. A quantity of
fine CLAIMS, which are used for bait by
fishermen, were planted in a small in
let west of Oonalaska. From this port
the Albatross sailed back east of the
Aleutian Island group and down
toward Kodiak. Soundings and dredg-
ings were made all along, and the 100
fathom curve located. Great num-
bers of Goldfish were secured. The
waters in that region are filed with
cod, those at a distance from the coast
being much the best .-Scientific Amer

cannon uarpoons for Mhnles.

Steamers hunt the whales in this
latitude. The harpoon is made with
four umbrella like ribs, which is fired
from a cannon on the ship into the
whales body. Pressure makes it open
up and take a wider and frmer hold,
and the whale pulling sets off some
nitro-glycerine confined in the cone or
front part of the harpoon. With all
this the whale sometimes rum for
many miles, drawing after it the ship,
often at the rate of sixteen knots an
hour, and marking its course with
blood. Two thousand feet Of heavy
rope are fastened to the harpoon, but
this, as indicated, does not allow sufi-
Gent play for the great monster, which
is often seventy to eighty-fve feet
long, and weighs 100, 600 pounds.
Afterward, when the whale is dead or
nearly so, an iron chain is put around
its body and lowed into the harbor of
the fishing company.-Hammerfes

The worlds nighest nridge.

The Keystone Bridge company has a
contract to erect at st. Paul a bridge
which, it is said, will be one of the
highest in the world. The bridge will
extend from tho end of the bridge
spanning the Mississippi river at St.
Paul across q flat to the top of u high
bluff. There will be about 20 spans, a
of which will be $50 feet each in
length, ono about 40 feet and tho re-
mainder from 40 to 90 feet. The ends
of the spans will be supported on tres
tie bents, some of them being $50 feet
high. The bridge is to be of iron and
steel, and the work will be especially
heavy.-Boston True Flag.

The Eiffel tower is ascending rapid
ly. The height is now about 500 feet,
or one-half the total elevation. As it
narrows gradually in its upward prog
ress, the quantity of material to be
hauled up to the dizzy working plat
forms becomes less and less. Besides,
they have begun to employ a new sys-
tenn of machinery. Any way it is to
me a wonderful spectacle to watch the
squads of men suspended aloft on their
narrow plank footing-some turning
gigantic cranes, some blowing into u
fierce blaze the furnaces in which they
heat their bolts and other ~fastenings.
while OF all the four sides of the
tower these hardy workers in iron are
seen swinging their hammers, driving
home the bolts that fasten uprights
and cross beams, with nothing beneath
them, frequently, but q platform the
width of two planks.
1t is a fearful but a marvellous
sight, this monumental tower, ROY
ing up, up, up till it surpasses any
thing ever attempted by human dar-
ing. How, high up in mid air, far
above the submits of the loftiest hills
around Paris, these poor workmen
will be able to continue their labors
through the cold and SHOWS of autumn
and winter is a problem of human en-
endurance, skill and perseverance
which l cannot solve. -Paris. Cor.

Biblical scholars will be interested
in the discovery of the location of the
pool of Bethesda. This body of water
is spoken of by one evangelist, and that
is John. In the fifth chapter of his
gospel he says: Now there is at Jeru-
salem by the sheep market Tor gate) n
pool which is called in the Hebrew
tongue Bethesda, having five porches."
The word translated pool" in the au-
thorized version, is given by some au-
thorlties as swimming bath, " and the
phrase pool by the sheep market is
possibly better rendered sheep pool"
Eusebius explains the occasional red
color of the water to this 'sheep pool
as being a trace of the c~arcasses of
sheep washed in it before sacrifice ;
hence the name. There were, accord
ing to the evangelist, five porches or
porticoes around the pool.
While excavating near the church
of st. Anne, close to st. Stephens gate,
the pool of Bethesda has recently been
discovered by Herr Conrad Schick.
There is a courtyard to the northwest
of the church which leads through a
newly opened passage into another
courtyard some fifty feet square. AT
the north of this latter courtyard there
was at one time a small church. Be
meath the floor of this sometime
church are vaults, and through the
floor of these vaults a cistern IS
reached, cut into the rock to a depth
of thirty feet. The cistern is a portion
of the original pool of Bethesda. There
is still water in it, but is difficult to
say whence it comes. New York Tele-
gram.

l doubt if many Americans ever go
to the dog orphanage at Battersea. We
went there to buy II dog for n little
black haired maiden who in lieu of
her Buffalo cousins was promised n
poodle as a winter playmate. The in
stitution is endowed, and has a long
list of subscribers, headed by her mai.
esty Tie queen. To it are sent all the
stray dogs and cats picked up by the
London policemen. Do net suppose,
as l did, however, that it is a sort of
canine home where orphan or friend
less dogs are petted and cod
died to a green old age. Ii
is really a pound. For if the Iuckless
dog is not claimed within n given
period he is sold or killed. All the
ours are packed into a car and go slid
ing off together into eternity. Thai
is, they find themselves in all air tight
chamber which this car exactly fits
As it is charged with noxious gas, the
dog, in the euphuistic language OF
one of the keepers-whose face was
scarcely above that of the brute ere,
alton around him-''goes to sleep" by
which he meant to imply that the
death is instantaneous and painless.
The sounds that smote upon our
ears as we entered the pound were
like those of an orchestra tuning up
behind the scenes. All the human in
stinct there is in the dog is developed
when he is thrown on the charity of
Ba~ttersea, for he stands on his hind
legs behind his prison bars, wags his
head, paws the air and asks your sym
pathy in the most melting tones. If
you pet one dog in the kennel the
whole pack are Instantly upon you,
brushing their noses against your
glove, and if you throw in a morsel of
food, they fight like tigers for it.
When a kennel becomes too uproari-
the keeper quiets it with one lash
of the whip. The most touching sight
of all is to see the poor little orphaned
poodles or pugs-used TO the softest
cushions and daintiest food-shut up
alone in the cold, comfortless pen OF
Battersea or with a half dozen com
panions, all equally homesick. Their
detected, limp and seemingly lifeleSs
forms reminded me of nothing so
much as myself the day 1 ~recrossed
the British channel and sung my sor
rows to the sea.-Cor. Buffalo Courier.

To seal a refractory envelope use
the handle of your penknife instead OF
your fingers in pressing down the
flap. The gum on many envelopes is
of such an inferior quality that only
after the most narrowing struggles
can it be induced to adhere properly,
but if there is any stick" in it the ad-
ditional leverage gained by the use of
some hard substance like a knife han
die will prove effective. Another adj
vantage to be gained by following this
suggestion is that all danger IS re-
moved of making those dirty streaks
or the back of the envelope which are
sure to result if tie finger tips are
soiled in the slightest degree.-The
