A Scrap Of Railroad ai.sory.

In view Of the rather satisfactory
advances which have more recently
been made in China in the matter of
railroad establishment, it becomes
interesting to recall some of the ear
lier incidents in the railroad history
of THAI country. Among other things
we find the following terse and rather
colnical account of the first railroad
in China, published several years
ago, but which will bear repetition
at the. present time:
1t seems that a syndicate of mer-
chants and others interestedin devel-
Oping the trade of China were moved
to build a railroad from Shanghai to
Woosung, a distance of a little over
nine miles. The land was bought
from 237 different proprietors. all of
whom wanted additional bounties for
the disturbance of ancestral graves.
One proprietor claimed to have buried
on his strip no less than five mothers
in-iaw, for whom he must be paid.
Satisfying him naturally led to u
marvellous multiplication of dead
NOTWITHSTANDING, who soon became the
chief item in the cost of the land.
Next, the sellers of the land claimed
the privilege Of supplying the labor
and pocketing the wages each on his
own just-sold section. The claim was
satisfactorily admitted. The road
was built, supplied with rolling stock,
and in Is months carried some $780,
900 passengers. but this brilliant
success met with a sudden blow. The
Imperial Government raised obiec.
tions to having any railroads on Chi
nese territory which were not gov

generously offered to buy the 9-mile
road. This was agreed to, and rails

Paradise Fish of CHINA.

The oldest of all piscatorial rari-
ties is the paradise fish of China.
Like the German canary and one or
two other species of bird and fish,
this little finny beauty is the product
of cultivation only, there being no
place in the world where it is found
in a wild state. In the land of the
dragon they are kept and cultivated
in ornamental aquariums, each sue
cceding generation of the little oddi-
ties exhibiting more diversified colors.
The male is the larger of the two
sexes, measuring, when full grown,
three and one-half inches. The body
is shaped very much like that of a
common pumpkin-seed sun fish, its
color surprising in b%rilliancy any fish
heretofore cultivated for the aqua
rum. The head of Macropodus (that
is his generic nancy is ashy gray,
notified with irregular dark spots.
The gills are azurine blue, bordercd
with brilliant crimson. The eyes are
yellow and red, with q black pupil.
The sides of the body and the cres-
cent-shaped caudal fin are deep GRIM
son, the former having from ten to
twelve VERTICAL blue stripes. while
the latter is bordered with blue. The
upper surface of the body is continu-
ally changing color-sometimes 1T is
white, at Others gray, black, or blue.
The dorsal and anal fins are remark
ably large, hence its generic name,
Macro, large; podus, fin or foot.
Both fins are shaped alike, and are
| striped with brown and bordsred
with a bright blue. The %dull-colored
ventral fins are protected by a brilliant
scarlet-colored spine, extending three
fourths of an inch behind the body of
the fin. The PICTORIAL fins are we'll

Orasfs.

The Duke of Wellington was very
stringent in respect to obeying orders.
The ssIron Duke" as he was some
times called, was never disposed to
be lenient toward the slightest dis
obedience, but could reward and APP
preciatc a strict fulflllment of direc-
tfons. Lord Derby was entertaining
the duke at M of his country man.
siOns at q time when certain repairs
and Improvements were going on.
Some of the walls were to be decor
ated, and the central hall floor tcs-
sellatcd.
In order to prevent injury to the
floor, Lord Derby furnished several
pairs Of slippers which were placed
near the door, and he directed ayoung
man who was at work on n OF the
walls to order any one that came in
to put on a pair before crossing the
passage.
elf any one fails tn attend to you,"
he added, s.you must put him out"
Soon after u party returned from
hunting, and wellington, with his
splashed and muddy boots, opened
the door and rushed along the hall.
The young man Immediately jumped
of the ladder on which he was paint
ing, and selling Wellington by the
shoulder, fairly pushed him out Of
the house.
In the afternoon Lord Derby sum-
moned all the household and men at
work into the study, and seating
himself beside the great warrior, de-
manded to know who had . had the
impertinence to push the Duke Of
Wellington out of doors.
The painter, all of a tremblc, came
forward and Said, cit was l, my
Lord"
"And pray" rejoincd the earl,
show came you to do it?"
The man then repeated directions
given him that morning and said, 81
was only obeying orders, l thought.
Sir"
On this Wellington turned to Lord
Derby, and smiling, took a sovereign
out of his purse, which he gave to the
workman, saying, 'sYou were right
to obey ORDERS"

Snake. Charm ri.h.

The water was perfectly clear and
not above two feet deep. the day calm
and bright and the proceedings below
the surface easily observed. In the
deepest part of the pool a solid
phalanX of little fish (if | may so call
it) was swimming around and around
in a ring of about two feet in
diameter. the band being about six
inches wide and apparently two or
three layers deep.
Around and around they went. at
the least motion on our part breaking
ranks, to resume their circus at once
when we were quiet again. We
were interested, Of course, and puz-
zled, and we tried for half an hour
Dr. more to learn the cause of such
unusual movements.
Our talk, for we did talk, did not
disturb them, from which we inferred
that they could not hear us; our
slightest movement did. from which
we inferred they could see us.
Carefully crawling a little nearer
we discovered the center of the mov-
ing circle was a large water-snake,
coiled, quiet and watchful. Ornith-
ologists have told us in unreliable
school books that snakes can and
often do charm birds and some have
in their more elaborate works tried
to substantiate that theory. never
believed it and l certainly never
heard of snakes charming fish: but
what were these shad doing?: Were
they charmed-American Angler.

IN Military Tactic&.
The Importance attached to popular
military education is shown by the
including in the official army register
4 list of the students who stand high
est in the military courses taught by
army officers at some schools and
colleges. AS many as fifty subalterns
may now be detailed as instructors of
tactics in colleges and academies, and
!orty-eight such institutions were, at
the last official report, enjoying this
privilege. They are scattered all
v G the country, from the Maine
state College to the University of
California, and from the University
Of North Dakota to the Agricultural
College of Texas. There are also five
retired otficers-twO captains and
three licutenants-in charge of in.
situations at Mount Pleasant, Pari-
bault, Garden City, Pcekslsill and
Portland. Probably few people have
reflected to what extent this form Of
popular military education is carried
On. The statistics show that last
year o than seven thousand OF the
pupils at these institutions received
military instruction. 1t is cnmpul-
sorry in over half OF them and in
most of the remainder it is cumpul-
sorry OH the part Of the classes, the
senior or graduating class being
most likely to be exempt. In only
three orfour cases is il purely optional
for everybody. Six of the institutions
have military camping, four have
marches for instruction, exactly half
have target practice with small arms
and six have practice with artillery.
In most cases the rifles are the prop
erty of the United States, but in
seven or eight instances the State
furnishes them and in two they be-
long to the college. In general, the
condition OF these arms was good, but
the New York Ledger acknowledges
there were q few notable exceptions.
In all but one of the institutions
military uniforms are worn. There
is great difference in the amount of
military work done, one institution
having only a single drill per week,
while one holds ten. lnsomc cases the

as instructor in mathematics, while
civil engineering, French and draw
ing are subjects for which "a few are
called upon. as also are the inspection
of rooms, assistance in discipline, and
so on. In some instances this extra
duty is literally reimbursed. Thus
the Nevada University gives a COM
%pcnsation of 81, 200 a year, while the
Mississippi college gives $500. 1t is
clear that, while this system of popu-
lar military education is still capable
of much improvement, it furnishes
the most economical method which
the Government can employ for this
purpose. Year after year thousands
of young men receive through drills
and lectures the elements of a mill
tarv training, and some, who in turn
become teachers, may repeat the les
sons for their pupils.
