The Railroad In Ccylon,

So closely does the railroad approach
the water 5 edge that there seems barely
room for il between the clustering palms
and red tiled roofs of the village on one
side and the blue shining sea on the other
Every now and then, when n larger wave
than usual comes rolling in, the whole
breadth of the track is pleutifully be-
spriuklcd with spray. But in spite of
this it Is thiCkly dotted with white tur.
bans and blue or scarlet sashes, parti-col-
ored skirts, brass nose rings, dusky faces,
aud thick, black hair glistening with CO.
coanut oil; for the railroad is fayorite
promenade with the natives, who find its
firm, smooth roadbed a great relief after
the toll of plodding ankle deep through
the soft, unstable sand of the beach,
But all Mt once shrill whistle is heard,
and the turbaned promcnaders scatter
away from the tack To right and left,
while the morning train comes rafting up
mt extra speed, as if in haste TO sweep
away the intruders who are trespassing
upon its private road. Out of the third

Romance OF the Future.

The realm Of the half supernatural has
been much worked, but it is by no means
exhausted yet. Is there nowhere family
merged in our complex civilization which
descends, and knows that 1t descends,
from the race believed by old commen.
tators to be mentioned in Genesis,
the half breeds of heaven, the children
Of angels and men. and which re-
tains from that descent powers and
capacities and longings, and above all,
certaintics rs to another life, and with
them religious obligations unknown to its
fellows all around, always operative, yet
always of necessity concealedS Is there
no one who is undying, yet must obey all
other conditions of humanity; no one,
except st. Leon, for whom wealth is pro-
ducible at will, yet who breads to use his
power; no one possessed of the faculty
Bulwer used TO hint at, hut never utilized
in his half supernatural Stories of gen
Grating in another mind any idea he
would? The nOyelsts who have used
mesmerism as n machine have thought Of
that power, but have always limited IL TO
its subjects periods of unconsciousness,
and employed it for some comparatively
triiling end.
Except in the departments Of mesmerism
md sleep walking, the romance writers
have hardly utilized the facts of physiology
now creeping slowly into common knowl-
edge, while they have left the machinery
OF science TO Jules Verne, who uses it
with the intellectual subtlety of peep
show proprietor who has hired an electric
light Suppose man in sleep learned all
that waking he desired TO know. 1t
would be but a grand exaggeration of
sole we'll known mental processes in
s'ee D. -LA'nCon Spectator.

The Club rs u Vycapon.

From the earliest times, the club was a
fayorite military weapon, its primitive
form being simply Of straight stick,
much heavier yet one end than at the
other, and adapted for use either by one or
both hands. With improvements in
other styles or weapons, however, came
tie mace. The mace is n shafted
weapon, consisting of wooden handle
fitted into an iron head, the latter
being of many different styles. Some
maces have phalanges on the sides; others
are round like an orange, and furnished
with sharp projecting points, while others
again are in the shape OF two imperial
crowns placed base to base.
The mace was a horseman's weapon,
usually fastened to his saddle during the
march, and, in an action, suspended by q
cord round his wrist. 1t was a favorite
weapon for fighting ecclestiastics, OF
whom there were many during the mid
die ages. Priests, by canon OF the
church, being forbidden TO use the sword,
the mace, the lance, the halberd and sew
eral other weapons of this description,
were allowed TO take the place Of that
weapon, which, in all ages, has been typ
zeal of war. A modification OF the mace
was n plain hammer or maui, frequently
carried by long bowmen. 1t was simple
mallet of wood or Of iron, with handle
A or feet long, used as an offensive
weapon at close quarters. Demo

a BiCyclist In China,

As we proceed down the street nv ap-
pearance seems to stir the population up
toa pitch of wild excitement. Merchants
dart in and out of their shops, people in
rags, people in tags and people in gorgeous
apparel, buzz all about me and fit hither
and thither like nest of stirred up
wasps. III curiosity has seemed to he
rampant in other cities it passes all the
limits OF Occidental imagination in
ki-nganfoo. Upon seeing me, every
body gives utterance to peculiar spon-
taneous squeak of surprise, reminding me
very much of the monkeys notes Of alarm
in the tree tops along the Grand Trunk
road, India.
BY the time we are half way along the
street the whole city seems in wild tumult.
Men rush ahead, peer into my face, de-
liver themselves of the above mentioned
peculiar squeak and run hastily down
some covcrgent alley way. Stall keepers
hastily gather up their wares and shop
keepers frantically snatch their goods in
side rs they hear the tumult and see the
mob coming down the street. The ey-
citement grows apacc, and the same wan
ton cries OF "Fankwae Fankwae!n that
followed me through Kan-tchou-foo are
here repeated with wild whoops and eX-
ultant cries, One would sometimes think
that all the devils Of Dante's inferno had
gotten into the crowd and set them wild
with the spirit of mischief f-Thomas

whole crew being rendered helpless for an
hour or two, the ship could, of course, be
towed into safe spot, while the captors
ventilated her and removed tho insensible
men."-New York Mall and Express.
