The Transference of a Soul.

The Chinese represent what is proba-
bly, the Oldest type of so called civiliza-
ton of the world. Yet the race is de-
voted to ceremonials and practices which
appear barbaric and superstitious to the
Caucasian mind. The other day Sing
Song was arraigned in police court at
San Francisco charged with disturbing
the peace, and cruelty to animals. The
prisoner is high priest in joss house.
and appeared on the street attired in a
square hat and a long robe. He was
beating cymbals, ringing a bell and other
wise making it unpleasant for white
duck which he had placed in tub of
water near by with its legs tied together.
Song explained that a woman had died
at the house in front of which he was
performing his antics, and that he was
trying to ''joss" her spirit into the body
of the fowl, which might then carry her
soul to the Flowery Kingdom. He es-
capped with slight penalty, and threat
ems to sue the police for disturbing relig
ious services.

of course, a fully authorized representa-
tive of Italy, and may be regarded as an
impersonal figure in future diplomatic
intercourse. Secretary Blaine replied to
him personally in regard to the recall of
his chief, but all the marquis can do is,
if Mr.. Blaine affords him the opportu-
nifty, to transmit the notes passing te-
tween Italy and the United States.
Recent events in. Rome indicate that
Baron Fava is to be made the scapegoat
of Rudini's hot medicines. He has al
ready been accused of misstating the
import of Italy's demands by a wrong
translation of the note which led to the
imbroglio. 1t is but step from an ac-
cusation of this kind to diplomatic dis
grace. Meanwhile Secretary Blaine is
looking over the head of the Marquis I'M
periali, and dealing directly with the
Italian government through Minister
Porter in Rome.

The Game of kilograms.

The game of kilograms, according to di-
rections given by The Home Queen, is
played as follows:
Select at random any ten letters that you
happen to think of; take them from the
headlines in the newspaper columns or
from the titles on the books standing on
the shelves. Call out one letter at time
and let each player write them down in
regular order; then let every one write out
q sentence, every word of which begins with
one of the letters dictated, using them in
regular order.
Current events, local happenings and
family failings can be lightly touched in
these ten words (the limit for an ordinary
telcgraphic dispatch-hence the name);
and the ''bent" of the different minds is
q matter of no little amusement. Here is
an example: The letters dictated were L, n,
Il, l., /, A, n, I, L, Ii, and the sentence
picked at random showed the writer's
politics at least-"The new tariff law is a
nuisance to economical housekeepers."

Charles Fox and His SNUFF Box.

Charles James Fox. the celebrated En-.
glishman, being once at Ascot races with
his intimate companion, General Conway,
missed his snuff box. The. general was
lucky enough to discover the thief. and
seize him before he could get clear Upon
this the man fell upon his knees, and, with
many tears, besought Fox TO pardon him.
and not expose him to ruin, for he was a
poor weaver in great restitution, and this
was the first offense against the laws that
he had ever committed. Fox was greatly
affected, and not only let the offender go.
but gave him guinea Shortly after this,
having occasion to use his snuff box, he
found no sign OF it in the pocket where he
had replaced it, and turning TO General
Conway, ne said, my snuff box is gone
again."

How Marbles Are Made.

Many of the marbles with which boys
everywhere amuse themselves in season
and out of season, en- pavements and in
shady spots, are made at Oberstein, Ger
many. There are in that neighborhood,
explains The Great Divide, many large
agate quarries and mills, and the refuse is
turned to good account in providing the
small stone balls for experts to ''knuo kIe
down" with. The stone is broken into
small cubes by blows of light hammer
These small blocks of stone are thrown by
the shovelful into the hopper of a small
mill, formed of a bedstone having its sur
face grooved with concentric burrows;
above this is the runner" which is of
hard wood having level face on its lower
surface. The upper block is made to re-
volve rapidly, water being delivered upon
the grooves of the bedstone where the
marbles are being rounded. 1t takes about
fifteen minutes TO finish bushel of good
marbles, ready for the boys knuckles. One
mill will turn out 100, 900 per week.

OF an important race, in which the favorite

the words Of the author; "a dark horse,
which had never been thought OF and
which the careless St James had never
even observed IN the list, rushed past the
grand stand in sweeping triumph The
spectators were almost too surprised to
cheer" In politics this expression has been
much used ever since the election OF James
A Garfield, and has come to designate a
candidate never before thought about, who
wins over better known men.
