THE ZANJA MABRE.
The Trouble H HAS Given the
Cable Company.

Cable Company.
The crossing of Zanja Madre by the
tracks OF the Gable Company on First
street has caused considerable trouble.
The flume was SO near the surface that
in order to cross it the Gable Company
constructed siphon, but owing to the
amount of sand carried by the water, this
filled up and was useless. The City En-
gineer devised new plan, which was to
take the zanja off from First street and
carry it to APPOINT nearer Second, which

A Chinese Custom.
Exchange.

According to the custom of Chinese society, the wife of the Chinese minister to this country will comb her hair up from her forehead, to show that she is married. Her dresses reach to her feet, and 30 difficult is the task of dressing them that one arrangement lasts several days. For the preserva- pillow as finely woven as an imported bonnet, shaped like a loaf of bakers bread. The maids dress their back hair in queue, and arrange bang one and one-half inches deep, from ear to ear. A bit of coquetry is displayed by allowing a single lock float loosely in front of the face and over the shoulder. The hair of the Chinese girl is cut, and a result of the splendid care bestowed, it grows luxuriantly.

An Engineers Story.

An Engineers Story.
 New York San.
 Tn the smoking car, along with half dozen others of us, was an engineer who was going down to Peoria and after time the judge started to draw him out by saying:
 "I presume you have had your share of close slaves, along with other engineers5"
 "I have, sir" was the reply.
 "Been in many smash-up7"
 GA full dozen, guess."
 "Any particular adventure that might be called wonderful2"
 "why, yes, I did have one," replied the man, after relightning his old cigar stump. "I didn't think any great shave myself but the boys cracked 1t up as something extra"
 "Let us hear about it," said the judge, as he passed him an Havana.
 "Well, one day about three years ago was com- ing west with the lighting express, and was rum ming to make up lost time. Down here about twenty miles two roads cross, you will see and there . lot of switches and side tracks. had just whsted for the crossing and put the brakes when the coupling between the tender and baggage car brokeo
 "I sec, I sec" murmured the judge
 "At the same moment something went wrong with old No. 40, and I could not shut off steam. She sprang away like flash, and as she struck the crossing she left the track and entered meadow filled with stumps."
 "Good heavensl7
 "She kept c straight course for about forty rods, smashing the stumps every second, and then leaped ditch, struck the rails of the D. x B. road, and after wobble or two settled down and ran for two miles,"
 "Amazing Amazingl"
 "Then, ct 6 crossing she left the metals, entered cornfeld, and, bearing to the right, plowed her way across the country until she came to our own road again. She had a long jump to make over 6 marsh, but she made 1t, struck the rails and away she went"
 You-don't-say-soi
 "I was now behind my train, and, after & run of two miles, got control of my engine, ran up and coupled to the palace car, and went into Ashton pushing the train ahead of me-"
 "Great Scott! And was no one hurt?"
 "Not Q soul, and not thing broken. The su- perintendent played a mean trick on me- though" "How?"
 "Why, the farmer who owned the meadow paid the company eighteen dollars for the stumps had knocked out for him, while the cornfed man charged nine dollsrs for damages. The superin- tendent pocketed the balance of the money" "The scoundrel! And how much are you paid a month?"
 "Ninety dollars."
 "That's for running on the road7"
 "Yes" "And nothing for lying2"
 "Not red"
 "That's outrage The superintendent Is an old friend of mine, and Pll sec that you get the stumpage and & salary of two hundred dollars 6 month as long as you live. It Is such men as you who make a line popular"

 The scenes upon the streets arc as mixed as the signs American street cars, drawn by scrsggy Japanese horses trot by your jinrikisha pulled by . bare legged cooly, 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 bowl hated farmer dressed in . blue Japanese gown, and wearing upon his feet sandals of the same straw with which his OK Is shod. Here gang of half-naked men push great carts of mer- chandse through the streets of the great city, and their chorus of gruns at each turn Of the wheels s broken In upon by the whistle of the railroad loco motive at the station. On the sidewalks the mixt- ure grows worse than ever. The colors of the clothes 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 beck hair done up in short door -knocker cue, walks side by side with his almond-eyed brother in modern clothes The old mans white -mittened feet chatter along on sandals while those of his brother creAk in patent feathers. The European outnt however, of the younger brother s often one of rare combi- nations. I have seen Japanese on the streets of Tokia clad in simple, white, well-s -starched shirt and pair of European shoes. Others have passed me dresses In frock coats, with celluloid collArs fastened around their bare and shir.less necks and with thin guazs drawers taking the place of panta- looms. I saw once an old Japanese mother with blackened teeth and shaved eyebrows walking On the Ginza in company with her daughter, who sported genuine French hustle and whose bunchy form looked awkward and dumpy in the foreign corset The Japanese women, however, take lsss to the foreign dress than do the men. They l0es their picturesqueness by the changesAnd the senti ment In Japan is think, generally in favor of tho women retaining the soft, grkoeful, long flowing gowns of their mothers.
