CLEAR BACK TO CHINA.
Shipping the Bones of Dead ceIes-
tiaIs From Rock Springs.
Stripped Frames and Polished
Skulls Packed in Boxes.
UncOncerned Work of the Friendly
Chinese Resurrectionists.

For some time the Chinese have been
restricting the bodies of the Chinese
buried at No. 4, says the Rock Springs
Independent. In all they have taken up
about two dozen cadavers. They then
took them up a canYon back OF No. 5 and
every night for a week they were engaged
in taking the fragments of flesh from the
corpses. 1t was a sickening and horrible
task and no u but a Monaghan could
have stood up to the work. But it was
an imperative duty in their estimation
and they kept at it until the bones of
twenty of their countrymen had been
stripped clean, the joints and the verte-
bre taken apart and the skulls nicely
polished. They were then carefully and
closely packed 10 a dozen tin boxes made
for that purpose by Charlev Soreuson and
are stored away in an old cabin awaiting
shipment TO China for final burial. FIVE
of the corpses we're a little too rank for
even a Chinaman to tackle and they were
put back in the graund to ripel a little
more and make the stripping process
easier.
One of the most binding conditions TO a
Chinamau coming to this country is that
his bones will be returned I o China after
death. OF the hundreds of Cinnamon
that die in this country every year there
is not one whose bones will not find a
final resting place in the sacred soil OF
China. 1t may be five. ten or twenty
years but the resurrection and Transport
tation is sure to take place. II he has
children they would be eternally cursed if
they neglected SO sacred a duty. If he
has no children his nearest relatives
look after the remains, aud if
he has no relatives in this
this country (Which is only rarely the
case) the duty rests upon his company or
society.
The reason the Cinnamon attach so
much importance to their final burial in
China coil is because they think that
China alone Is known or recognized by
the great Buddha; that only those who
lie buried there will be awakened to pur-
sue a new existence in other forms.

CHAPTER v,

Twas now prepared to look up Mr.. Cyril
Durand. and I accordingly directed my
steps toward his house. That he was one of
the guilty parties I was convinced, and
henceforward until arrested him felt it
my duty to keep him under observation. II
would be throwing away my best card to ar
rest him at once. for felt sure that, free,
he would in some way or other communi-
cate with his accomplices, and "Lecoq" Fox
was Just the kind of man to detect that little
game.
walked briskly along the shore and soon
reached the little cottage inhabited by Mr..
Durand. leaped up the wooden steps,
and in my absorption gave the door bell
tremendous pull. Nobody answered it, and
I pulled again and again. There was no re-
sponse, and glancing up and about me saw
that all the windows were closed. Evidently
fear had been greater than logic, and the
man Durand had taken to his heels. It
was an easy matter to open the blinds from
the outside of the house, and this did. To
lift the window and leap into the front room
was equally easy, and this act also per-
formed.
The house was as silent as an Egyptian

ANTIQUITY OF THE CENSUS.

Kuumerators Autedate the Christian Era.
but Weren't Always So Inquisitive.
Boston Herald
As the late S. S. Cox, of New York, said
on February 1s, 1879, in addressing the
House Of Representatives relative to the bill
authorizing the tenth census: "a census is
no new thing under the sun. It antedates
the Christian era. It illustrates the Chinese.
japanese, Hebraic, Grecian and Roman
civilizations"
The Jewish census listed the first born
and first fruits, and was at first a religious
custom. Afterward il was used for fighting
purposese. In Rome the period of taking
the census was five years, or, as the Romans
distinctively called it, a lustrum; and the
completion OF the work was celebrated as a
national holiday, the day of lustration,
when good citizens were rewarded and
bad citizens were held up to public
ignominy.
Despite its antiquity, however, the census
never reached beyond q mere enumeration
or counting of the people until the United
States extended its significance. Statistics
themselves first entered the scientific phase
in 1749, when the new science received its
name and the first complete statement of its
principles by Prot. Achenwall OF 3ottingen,
1t is only during the past two generations
that statistical activity touched all varieties
of human employment and resource. When
the Constitution of the United States was
formed there was no Government on earth
that provided in its fundamental law for
taking q census.

THE FIRST FEW STROKES.

When both the arm and limb motions are
taught the pupils are suddenly swung loose
from the rope, and supported about the belt
by the instructor. The first feeble and tlmld
strokes are seldom successful, but in very
short time, If the subject is at all conndent
of his or her powers, the learner will be able
to swim alone for two or three strokes This
is increased one stroke at each swim posi-
bly, until the pupil masters 40 feet of the
pool in about 20 strokes. An expert would
do il in Is strokes.
The time, of course, in which person is
able to learn to swim differs. Some ladies
learn in two hours, others not for two weeks.
Last Friday a well-known society belle
mastered the breast-stroke in an hour, and,
developing a peculiarity of holding her
head straight up out OF the water, won the
title among her associates of being "a per-
feet swan"
The next style of swimming taught, If
persons desire to learn the fancy methods, is
the "side-stroke." A few Pittsburg women
thus far have accomplished this. The
'overarm stroke" comes next. This is
quite difficult feat for women on account
of the muscular power necessary, and has
not yet been taught them. Neither is it
pretty movement to look at, being used en-
tirely for the purpose of speed and endur-
anee by men. "ScullIng" is very pretty
style of swimming, which some women have
expressed a strong desire to learn. 1t in
wolves the principle Of screw propeller,
the quick and oscilIating beat of the water
by the hands alone, or the feet alone, while
the body is held almost perfectly rigid.
MAKING THE TURN.
The pool in the Pittsburg Natatorium
favors one novel class of swimming accom-
plishments for women. That Is what is

COSTUMES FOR SERVANTS.

Mrs. KeudnI Insists on What American
Girls Would Never Submit to.
Illustrated News.l
Mrs. Kendall, who is once more in LON
don. has something to say about American
servants. 'They dress too WELL" she says.
Most English servants have a costun Q
prescribed. No girl in my house can wear
a fringe, or. as they call it in the States, q
bang. tell her plainly she must part her
hair, and comb it neatly back behind a cap,
and she must wear an apron. and NO crna-
ments but ribbon round her neck. Only
lady's-maid may wear brooch and 20
without the cap, but she must wear an apron
They must wear their caps at the theater
too. Why, if they didn't, I would wear one
myself. There must be distinction made
somehow"
No one can wonder that a lady whose
main life is in the stage and its traditions
should incline to picturesque makeup in
her own household. A caste costume is
certainly more picturesque than the ordi-
nary civilian garb; but, when it reaches the
point where it can only be maintained by
compulsion, the means of compelling must
be considered. Every tourist deplores the
steady disappearance of costume all the
world over; it has vanished from Scotland.
is almost extinct in Switzerland, is dIsap-
pearing in the Tyrol, and beginning to tot
ter even in Japan.
Only two things can preserve it--law and
money. In country where it is hard to get
q good housemaid even if encountered with
q bonnet, 1t is impossible to make it always
3 part of the bargain that she shonld wear a
cap; nor can an employer risk the loss of a
cook for the sake OF breastpin, when she
lives in terror lest the cook be tempted away
from her any day for plain gold ring.

called turning" The pool is 67 feet long,
and suppose race was to be run for four or
six lengths of it. The place where one op-
ponent could get the advantage of another
is in the turn he makes at either wall of the
pool. Instructor McCune is an expert
Scotch swimmer, and he showed me his
method of turning. It is a strange combi-
the wall, which sends mis- body back through
the pool with an impetus that carries him
two or three yards without a stroke. He
has system about the turn, where novice
would turn to go in the other direction as
best he could, losing time and strength
both. The turn" can be readily learned
by women, and would be capable of fur
nishing much sport.
An observant lady who has patronized the
bath since it was opened tells me that she
tried to study the way women express them
learn to swim. 1t is well known that when
person walking into gradually deepening
water reaches point where the water
reaches up to the lungs, it will lit the body
of the feet Three women caught unawares
in this fashion at the Natatorium yelled at
once to be "taken home, Oh" And when
two of them were helped to the wall they re-
manned long enough to get their breath, and
then floundered back into the pool.
THEY HARDLY EVER SCREAM.
Few women scream at the natatorium.
Twenty-Five are noted down in this lady's
memorandum as murmuring something
about being '1ost." One fat lady forgot
herself and called Justify to bring her hus-
band for her; that she was going down for
the last time. She then found that the
water was only four feet deep where she had
lost her footing, and therefore counter
manded her order, remembering that it was
"lsdies' day." and that gentlemen were
tsbooed.
visited the natatorium one afternoon
when probably a dozen gentlemen were
swimming. Two of them were preachers
who were taking their first lessons. They
had just come out on the promenade for an
airing when an expert swimmer, who /
think was q mill worker, took a powerful
dive from the springing- board. He had
twisted himself in a peculiar manner, as
though indicating, as he struck the water.
in what direction he intended to reappear'
The preachers, joining a group OF several
other greenhorns, watched for the diver to
come up in that corner of the pool. A full
minute passed and the swimmer did not re-
