Chinaman, as compared with those of 'Eu-
ropean, may be what geometricians call
''sinilar and similarly situated" nothing Is
palmer than that the two sets of nerves are
wholly different. 1t seems to make no par
ticular difference to a Chinaman how long he
remains on one position. He will write all
day, like an automation; he will stand all
lay in one place from dewy morn till dusky
eve working away at his weaving, gold beat
ING. OF whatever it may be, and do it every
day without any variation of the monotony,
and apparently without any consciousness of
the monotony.
Chinese school children will undergo an
amount of confinement, unrelieved by re-
cesses or changes of work, which would drive
western pupils to the verge of insanity; even
Chinese infants remain as impassive as mud
gods" 1t appears physiological fact that
to the Chinese exercise is superfuous; they
cannot understand why people should go
through athletic performances when they
might hire coolies for the purpose. In the
matter of sleep there is the same difference.
The Chinaman, generally speaking, is able to
sleep anywhere No triding disturbances
annoy him. With brick for pillow, he
can lie down on his bed of stalks, or mud
bricks, or rattan, and sleep the sleep Of the
just, with no reference to the rest of creation.
He does not want a darkened room, nor does
he require others to be still
The ''infant crying in the night" may con-
tinue to cry for all he cares; it does not dis
turb him. In some places the entire popula-
ton seem to fall asleep as by a common in
Btinct during the first two hours of summer
afternoons, no matter where they may be.
In the case of most working people ct least,
and also in that OF many others, position in
sleep is of no sort of consequence. ''It would
be easy to raise in China an army of a mill
ion men-nay, of ten millions-tested by COM
petitive examination as to their capacity to
go to sleep across three wheelbarrows, head
downward like spider, their mouths wide
open and fly insiden

ga woman's role is to seem utterly obliv-
ious of her bonnet after the parting look into

it is settled safely and becomingly. The man
who forgets what he has upon his head is q
boor or incorrigibly absent minded The

Their remarks the following:
A nod is not bow.
To nod to woman is open disrespect.
The mother who carves the two sentences
and the import thereof upon the mind of her
boy builds so much better than she knows as
to merit the gratitude of her sex. The bob
or duck of the covered head which salutes a
comrade Of his own gender is barely pardon
able, even in America Students in foreign
universities would be sent to coventry were
they to practice it on meeting in corridor or
thoroughfare. Equally general in the older
lands, where extended courtesies rank higher
than with us, is the custom of doffing the hat
on passing lady-stranger or acquaintance
on the staircase or in the halls of hotel or
other public building. In witnessing the
effect of the neglect of the gracious little
ceremony in the country that furnishes the
best husbands in the world, it is impossible
to restrain the regretful sigh.
As we descend the social scale the lower
we go the more scanty is the observance Of
the etiquette and moralities of the hat, until
we are forced to consider the important adj
iunct to the outdoor toilet as an almost in
fallible barometer of breeding. Respect Of
the rules regulating its management in re-
fined circles is the last sign Of better days

of them don't half appreciate their privi-
leges in that line, or suspect their possible

Cocaino in HYdrophobia.

DR.. Fubini, of Palermo, reports that be has
used cocaine in hydrophobia, as a special ap-
plication to the fauces, with the result of
marked relief to the characteristic spasms of
the throat. The patient had been bitten OF
the hand by mad dog six months before.
Three companions, also bitten at the same
time had their wounds promptly cauterized;
but the patient thought his too trifing to re-
quire attention. The spasms of the larynx
and pharynx were extremely severe and
painful; and the patient, though suffering
from burning thirst, could not bear the sight
of liquids. Dr. Fubini brushed the pharynx
with one-in-twenty solution Of hydrochlor-
ate of cocaine The spasm almost i'm
mediately ceased and the man was able to
drink without the least difficulty.

double round the throat-that is, they are
put on the neck in front, crossed at the back,
brought again to the front, and the ends fasten-

ago, but these arenotso popular as those which
Just fasten in front These latter are COM
posed of a sufficient length Of soft silk in fiat
folds, with the two ends gathered and then
spread out like fans. These cross in front, are
secured by brooch, and form a full bow

THE NEW CONNECTION.
At Grand Junction, the eastern terminus
of the Rio Grande Western, her trains will
roll upon the Rio Grande junction track,
the new line now being rapidly pushed to
completion by the Rio Grande and Midland
companies and then on to Denver via the
Colorado Midland, the famed 'Pike's Peak
route, whose broad guage roadbed has bid
defiance to the sneers and SCOTS of the
mighty (!) engineers who claimed it was
impossible to build a railroad as this had
been surveyed.
Although great enterprises and marvel
Gus works of engineering in Colorado have
not been few in number, no enterprise was
ever inaugurated in the Centennial state
that attracted the attention of the country
as did the building and equipping of the
Midland. Scarcely had the news of the
organization been received before the an

nouncement came that the contracts had
been let for the building of 300 miles
through the most mountainous part of that
mountainous state, and the people wondered
at the nerve displayed.
If yoC will pick out scenic route
through the Rocky Mountains 300 miles
long and divide it into sections of about
thirty miles each, and have the scenery of
each section totally different in character
from that of the preceding or succeeding
section, and no two sections alike, you will
have a faint idea of the general scenic
effect of the country through which the
Midland passes. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that for beauty, grandeur, magnifcence
and diversity of scenery the Colorado Mid
land cannot be equaled by any 800 miles of
road in the country. From one end of the
line to the other there is continual sue

street may not be noticeable, but in train
it covers a multitude of sins, or rather,

view to mountain climbing and speed.

THE WORK.


Since last July an average number of
1000 men have been busy as bees with pick,
spade, hammer and spike changing the
gauge of the Rio Grande Western from a
narrow to a standard measure the entire
length of the road-from Ogden to Grand
Junction. distance of 1926 miles. This
work, with the new rolling stock that it
will make necessary, represents an expen-
diture of 100000 of good American coin.
The entire line is being laid with 66-pound
steel upon a solid ballast of rock and is in
every sense an entirely new construction,
involving new grading, new ballast, new
ties and new rails, and in many places new
surveys, as the distance has been short
ened a fraction over twenty-five miles be-
tween the termini Of the line by the re-
duction of the curvature, necessitating a
great deal of additional tunneling.
Despite this enormous work, the freight
and passenger traffic of the enterprising
"Western" has not been abandoned single
day, but her well-laden trains have thun-
dered through the valleys and mountains as
of old, with but slight delay now and
then.
this mammoth job of converting the West
ern from the narrow way to the broad steel
highway are Corey Brothers, of this city,
w. n. Dusenberry, of Provo, and ]. A. Nc
Murtrie, of Denver, and in every sense the
word implies, success has crowned their
efforts, as to-day the Rio Grande Western
stands unrivaled in the west as a daring
feat of railway engineering and construc-
ton; its bands of steel penetrating the most
picturesque and enchanting mountain seen
cry known to either continent; battling the
stupendous impediments of rugged, preci |
pitous mountains, traversing almost impen- |
etrable, tortuous, serpentine canons, which |
presented to the engineer and builders |
bold, forbidding masses of rock and iutting |
granite 1t represents the victory of man
over nature. In its dare devil ascent over
apparently impossible mountain ranges
whose highest peaks are covered at all sea-
sons with a mantle of virgin snow, the Rio
Grande Western represents the very incar
nation of matchless daring.
THE OLD AND THE NEW.
Without disparagement to the excel
lent management of the WESTERN"
who have succeeded in making
of an almost abandoned property
a gigantic power in western railway
circles and placed the credit of an almost
impoverished corporation beyond the
slightest criticism, The HERALD, with the
people in common is glad to note the aban
donment of the narrow roadbed and its at
tendant inconvenience. Four or five
inches Of additional space in a dwelling or
