SUSPENSION BRIDGE ~. Y, Sept. a.
The usually quiet village of Clifton,
Ont, was treated to a novel battle be
tween the town authorities and the
Michigan Central railroad Monday.
There has been ill-feeling between the
town and the railroad, and the latter
refused the town the privilege of llying
a water main under its tracks. The
town put a force of laborers at work
~excavating and the railroad put an
other gang at work dumping gravel
into the excavation, Finally the town
authorities ordered out the fire com
panies. The waterworks pump was
started aud the MOBILES of a number OF
hose were turned On the railroad men.
Things were lively for a. time, but the
railroad gang was finally vanquished.

When Mr. Loughton was Spanish con-
sui at Boston he was one day standing
near where some ba1last-stone were be-
ing thrown overheard from a vessel that
had recently arrived from a European
seaport Among this rubbish was n
hint pebble somewhat larger than a
hens egg, which, when It struck some
OF h larger stones. separated In the
middle. Mr.. Loughton stopped and
picked up the two halves. On each
half, In marks made by the natural
growth OF the stone, were two perfect
human heads in profile, all Of the out
lines Of features md hair being perfect
~ distinct, the natural portrait being
much darker than the surrounding
Stone The most surprising part Of the
whole incident Is the fact that, even
Though the two halves ct together ex-
Rctly, one Of the facea was clearly that
of a male, the other that Of a female.
Even the putting up of the hair was APP
Propriate TO the sex; yet, in the stone,
they were face to face.-St Louis Re-

THE CELESTIAL EMPIR@
THE emperor of ehinai is afflicted with
Insomnia.

THE emperor Of China is afflicted with
insomnia.
SEVERAL thiclSnesses of paper pasted
together have from time immemoriai
been found extremely serviceable In
China as soles for shoes.
A CHINESE bank note of the Ming dy-
nasty, about 1868. has been presented
TO the British museum. IL is 800 years
older than the first bank nUte issued in
Europe.
II is said by a writer for the North
China Herald that fiction among the
celestials is, and always has been, an
influence for evil, much condemned by
moralists Of the Confucian school.
THERE is an immense garden in China
that embraces an area of 5000 square
miles. II is all meadow land and Is
filled with lakes, ponds and canals. Al
together II is as large as the states of
New York and Pennsylvania combined.
