A Miniature Railway in Pekin.

About two years ago they presented a
complete miniature railway to the emperor
through Ii Hung Chang, and the line,
which is about three miles long, is laid
down within the imperial city. The young
emperor is very much interested in its
workings, and spends q great deal of his
spare time in riding to and fro in the
beautifully appointed little carriages: He
was greatly struck with the toy railway,
and It's influence upon the recent DEGREES
has been very considerable. The old re-
dictionary party amongst his advisers were
adverse to the miniature line being laid
down within the precincts of the sacred
city, and it was very near returned to the
donors. But the government was afraid
lest it should give offense to the French,
who are greatly feared and respected since
they burned and sunk the Chinese fleet at
Foochow, and inflicted such disastrous de-
feats upon the Chinese legions in the
South.
In the end the present was accepted, but
the high authorities would not allow any
foreigners to have hand in laying down
or worsing the model railway. The result
was, when they started the little engine
they could not stop it, and great conster-
nation was occasioned to the occupants In
the palace by their inability to control the
strange contrivance of the foreigners
which dashed along the line till it was
pulled up by coming in contact with a
mound of earth. Since then, however, q
Chinese driver has been procured, and the
emperor is frequent traveller upon the
cars.-ShanqhGi Letter.

The Shark and the Divee.

A business-like and very hungry shark
met an unsophisticated diver in search OF
investments.
"Good morning" said the shark, affably.
"Won't you step inside7 have re-
markably fine interior that want to show
YOU, also some corner lots you'll hke-at
least | corner lots like you. Besides, this
is my usual dinner hour and you are just
in time, and can assure you, you are en-
tirely welcome. Oh. don't hang back
have ample room to accommodate you, and
l can't take no for an answer. l have
taken in any number of strangers for din
ner, and not one of them ever complained
afterward of the treatment he received,
and am sure ycu won't, either. 80 don't
keep me waiting any longer.
'Well." responded the diver, "since
you are so urgent and your family are
VIGOROUSLY such good entertainers that
nobody, once their guest, ever goes any
where else, will not refuse your courte-
GUS offer"
And, in justice to the shark, it is only
fair to state that the diver was never
known to make the slightest complaint

The American Abroad,

When he goes abroad for the first time
the American looks after the antique, in
cluding the baronial castle in which his
ancestors were born, and which he usually
finds out is only one story high. He Wis
it's the places where from former degrada-
ton arose the principles of liberty; the
cathedrals that symbolized in stone the re-
ligion of the race until it was expressed in
a better form-the spirit; he sees the
wonderful canvasses of the masters, and
returns broader, richer, fuller man. The
second time he goes abroad it is generally
for the scenes but he returns convinced
that there is no scenery in the world that
equals that of the United States. On his
third visit he wishes to study the institu-
tions of the Old World, and he finds that
there can be no comparison. Rich in an
tiquity Europe may be, but in all that per-
talns to the present or the future Americ
is vastly in the Lead Orations and after

They COMPROMISED.

A young married man named Johnson.
in Chicago, who was drawing a liberal
salary, told his devoted wife that every
two dollar bill that came to him should be
hers for pin money. Gradually Mr.. John
sons friends learned of the promise, and
begun to conspire to help out the popular
young lady. If they owed their friend
anything. they invariably paid him in two
dollar bills. Finally they got to borrow
ing from him on purpose to liquidate in
this way, and still unsuspecting, Mr.. John
son continued to allow the bills to flow
into the willing lap of his better half.
Finally, the cashier of the firm that en-
ployed him, learned of the generous prom
ise, and he, too, entered the conspiracy,
and on the next pay day handed Mr.. John
son roll that staggered him. Every dol
lar of it was in the denomination of
"two" Sweating under the burden, the
repentant husband wended his way home
ward.
MARY" he said, as he met her at the
door, "Pve got to break my promise with
you, for the government at Washington
has ceased to print any money except in
two dollar bills. All the VS. and KS,
double KS, LIS and C's are being sent to
the paper mills. Gold and silver have
gone out of circulation entirely. Nothing
left, if you will believe me, but copper and
two dollar bills. Pm sorry, but | must
break my promise, or else 60 into bank
ruptcy. Can't we compromise the matter
in some way, as, for instance, by my Civ
ing you regularly fifty dollars a week. p

Tay-Hawkers.

Last week we published note giving the
fact of frost in Kansas, and another telling
of ice in Iowa, and followed with the invi
tation: "Come South, Jay -hawkers
Come South, Hawkeyes p The notes were
put in different parts of the paper, and we
have heard that some did rot understand
what was meant by 'Jay -hawker." We
wish to explain.
This is the name that is applied to all
citizsas of Kansas, just as the citizens OF
Louisiana are called "Pelicans," and the
North Carolinians are called "Tar-heels, y
the Ohioans Buckeyes" etc.
The term was first applied to some
companies of bushwhackers who made
predatory incursions into Missouri during
the war 1t was afterwards applied to all
Kansas soldiers during the war as term
