each of these long hairs is connected

The slightest contact of these whis-
kers with any surrounding object is
thus felt most distinctly by the ami
NAL although the hairs of themselves
are insensible. They stand out on
each side of the lion, as well as in the
common cat SO that, from point to
point, they are equal to the width of
the animals body. If we imagine,
therefore, a lion stealing throug 9Th

through the incest feeling, any OBJ
stacle which may present itself to the
passage of his body; they prevent
the rustling of boughs and leaves,
which would give warning to his
prey, if he was to attempt to pass
through too close bush; and thus,
in conjunction with the soft cushions
of his feet, and the fur upon which he
treads (the claws never coming in
contact with the ground), they en-
able him to move toward his victim
with a stiffness even greater than
that of the snake, who creeps along
the grass, and is not perceived until
he is cooled round his prey.

STREET SCENES IN TOXIC.

The scenes upon the streets are
as mixed as the signs. American
street cars drawn by scraggy Japan
csc horses, trot by your jinrikisha
pulled by a barelegged cody, and
foreign carriages, with coachman
and footman in livery, dash by rude
oX-carts, the beasts of which, with
great straw mats stretched above
them, move lazily along, led by a
bowl-hatted farmer, dressed in blue
Japanese gown, and wearing upon
his feet sandals of the same straws
with which his OK is shod. Here a
gang of half-naked men push great
carts of merchandise through the
streets of the great city, and their
chorus of grunts at each turn of the
wheels is broken by the whistle of the
railroad locomotive at the station.
On the sidewalks the mkt grows
worse than ever. The color of the
clothes are as many as those of the
coat of Joseph, and the blue-gowned
man of old Japan, with his head
shaved at the top, and with the back
hair done up in a sort of a door
knocker cue, walks side by side with
his almOnd-eved brother in modern
clothes. The old mans white nit
tened feet clatter along on sandals,
while those of his brother creak in
patent leather. This European out
fit, however, of the younger brother,
is often one of rare combinations.

mother with blackened teeth and
shaved eyebrows walking on the
Gina in company with her daughter
who sported a genuine French hustle
and whose bunchy form looked awk-
ward and dumpy in the foreign cor
set. The Japanese women, however,
take less to the foreign dress than do
the men. They lose their picturesque
ness by the change, and the senti-
ment in Japan is, think, generally
in favor of the women retaining the
soft, graceful, long-fowing gowns of
their mothers. Many of the men,
however, are well-dressed, and the
highest officials of the government
compare favorably in appearance
and clothes with those of our capital
at Washington. The motley above
spoken of is chiefly that of the COM
mon people who ape their superiors,
and to whom the foreign dress is al

A REMrN1scENcE.

In Jackson's campaign of 1872 or
iginiated the now worldwide motto,
BE sure you are right and then go
ahead" The fact was given me per-
sonally by General William Moore,
in these words: II was a captain,
but very young man. in that COM
mand. Davy Crockett was IN my
company, quite young and awkward
had trouble with my men and told
them 1 would go and lay my COM
plants before the general. did so,
and young Crockett officiously went
along. When l had stated my case,
the general said: Captain, don't
make any orders without needing
them, and then execute them, no
matter what it costs Returning to
camp, the boys wanted to know
what the general said, when Davy
Crockett, with a big laugh, said,
The general told the captain to be
sure he is right and then go ahead
General Moore informed me that the
next day Crockett's words were in
the mouth of every soldier in the reg1-
ment, and they were used all through
the campaign. BE sure you are
right and then go ahead" is a COM
mon saving now wherever the Eng
lish language is spoken.
A few years after the war, when
the white people were nearly all dis
franchised, Nashville was in the
hands of men who had collected from
all quarters and taken charge of the
city's affairs simply for plumber. The
citizens, in their dire extremity, and
to save themselves from being robbed
resorted to the courts and had a re-
ceiver appointed for the city, a thing
never known either in England or in
this country before. The thieves fled
to prevent prosecution, but the mar
row escape from ruin and subsequent
inroads on the city brought reali-
cation that heroic trea tment and a
radical change in the accepted theory
OF city government were demanded.
The predicate was that a city gov
eminent is business, not politics.
that it is trust; and so the city
abolished the old formula of legisla-
ton in city government and, while
preserving a city council, put the
DuSiuSSS III lHS IetiiuS vi a pOe'iu VI
public works-a board of three men,
with salary of $4,000 each, selected
by the city council for long terms,
only one going out at a time. The
change from old system borders on
the miraculous in economy and pro-
gress Nashville's magnificent water
works, the best in the South, her
streets in good condition, many of
them paved with granite, her new
public school buildings, her magnifi-
cent bridge across the Cumberland,
her bonds az per cent? above par,
and her low tax rate, all mark the
difference between a political machine
and business organization.-[Hon.

Magazine for October.
