Travel in northern China is accom-
plishcd in q cart, a mule litter, or the
saddle. The first method is the most
uncomfortable but tho most rapid, the
second tho most comfortable but the
slowest, tho third the most independent
but the most uncertain.
Tho cart used in northern China has
two heavy wheels, with wooden axle, no
springs, and body about four feet long,
and three broad, over which is a light
framework top covered with blue cotton.
Two mules driven tandem by carter
seated on tho left shaft take it along at
a rate of about three miles an hour. and
ono can mako in it an average of thirty
five miles a day, even over the toughest
country. 1t will carry about three
hundred pounds of goods, and one or
even two passengers; and the tighter one
is squeezed in the moro comfortable it
will prove, for that, and that alone, will
bc II protection from the terrible jolting
over the rough country roads.
1t is told in some old book of travel in
the narrative of the mission of Lord
Amherst to tho court of Pekin, if re-
member rightly, that one of his attend
ants died from tho effects of tho jolting
he received during Il short journey in ono
of these carts. But this modo of travel
being the most rapid, adopted it. sev-
eral years of experience of cart travel in
China had made mo bold, SO that did
not fear the fate which had overtaken
tho Amherst mission man. Comfortably
wrapped in my wadded Chinese clothes,
| squeezed myself into my cart, feeling
like delicate piece of chinaware packed
in cotton, and after hearty farewell to
the friends with whom was staying at
Pekin, tho carriers cracked their whips,
and with a shout to tho mules we were
off.-Ccntury.

About Folding Election Ballots.

If those distinguished New Yorkers
really couldn't fold their ballots accord
ing to the method prescribed by the new
law they may console themselves by
the thought that tho greatest minds are
often puzzled by trifes. Newton, who
enunciated the laws of nature, cut {.
large hole in his study door for his cat
and q small one for her kittens. Chaun-
cey M. Depew and Abram S. Hewitt
can direct great public interests, but
cannot fold ;slittle piece of paper. Such
is genius.
AS to Il Brooklyn gentleman, who
bears the euphonious title of doctor of
pedagogy, but could not, after repeated
attempts, succeed in folding the ballots
to tho satisfaction of the inspectors, his
foilure may perhaps have been due to
the fact that he took his learned degree
into the polling place and got tangled
up in its intricacies.-1Iunsey' Weekly.

Small, Bonno,s for tho Theatre.

The men in town are looking forward
to delightful winter for playgoing. 1t
is all on account of the ladies' bonnets,
A year ago they were only comparable
to cart wheels and steeples, but now
they are the most modest, low and snug
little hats. AS for the bonnets. at the
opening night of a new play at the Bijou
two we'll known bankers and the presi-
dent of trunk line railroad escorted
their wives to front seats, and all the
men in tho house felt like breaking out
with applause. This was because these
wealthy mems wives wore bonnets
that just covered the tops of their
heads-little confections Of lace that
looked pretty and stole no ones view of
the stage.-New York Sun.

A LEGEND.

Iherc has come to my mind legend, a thing
had half forgot,
And whether read it or dreamed it. ah we'll 10
matters not.
1t is said that in heaven at twilight great bell
softly swings,
And man may listen and hearken to tile wonder.
full music that rings.
II he puts from his hearts inner chamber all the
passion pain and strife,
lleartacle, AMI weary longing that throb in tho
pulses of life
If he thrust from his soul all hatred, all thoughts
of wicked things,
He can hear in the holy twilight how the bell Of
tho angels rings.
And think there is in this legend, if We open
our eyes to see.
Somewhat of an inner meaning, my friend, to you
and ME.
Let US look in our hearts and question, Can pure
thoughts enter in
To soul il it be already the dwelling of thoughts
of sinf
80 then let us ponder little; let us look In our
hearts aud SEQ
IL the twilight bells Of the angels could ring for
us-you and me
