ONE OF the features of the Fourth of
July parade at Trinidad, Colo, was a
Chinese band, consisting of 81 Chinese
residents Of that town, attired in resplen>
dent Oriental costumes and performing,
hardly playing, perhaps, on fearful and
wonderful instruments of sound. To
some people this display might seem to
be not only an interesting but an ironical
feature. The idea of lot of Chinsmen
boisterously celebrating the glories Of
American freedom and liberty, especially
in q far western state and Immediately
after the passage of the exclusion act, as
the Rushville Times says. is rather gro
tssque than patriotic.

QUINcY Herald: The signs in the
heavens are not right for the re- election
of MIR. Harrison. The Chicago astrolo-
ger who cast his horoscope for him re-
Gently says that his nomination was eff
fected at q moment wheh Scorpio was
rising. Even a child knows that this is
ominous Those who have seen Scorpio
rise and are aware of the intense bitter
taste in his mouth will realise that the
moment is an unfortunate one for the
transs ction of business. The other signs
in the heavens were the same as they
were at time Elisha sicked the bears on
the little children and Jonah was swal-
lowed by the whale. Mr.. Harrison, be-
ing in the Jonah business, will under
stand the sllusion. 1t was also in the
dark of the moon that he was nominated,
and everybody knows that that is q fstsl
period. especially as there wasn't a rab-
bits foot in the convention-the nearest
approach 10 it being the cloven foot that
Senator Quay carries with him.

The Buffalo and the Indian

The Buffalo range once extended from
Great Slave lake to the northeastern prov
inces of Mexico, from the Rocky noun
tains to the highlands 600 miles west of
Hudson bay. In the United States the re
mains of buffaloes have been found west of
the Rockies-for example, in Oregon, and
also in the Great Salt lake basin. In days
gone by tribes in the north and in the
south, in the east and in the west, were en-
tirely dependent upon the migrations of
the buffalo. The natives used to look for
ward to the coming of these animals with
great anxiety and much joy. Perpetual
warfare kept each tribe well within its own
territory, so that if the coming of the buff
falo was for one reason or another delayed
1t meant ruin and perhaps starvation.
Even of late years the reckless destruc-
ton of the buffalo has been serious mat
ter to Indian tribes north and south of the
Canadian border line. More than once the
utter deprivation of buffalo meat has been
the source of complaints and uprisings
among the nations whose principal food
was thus taken away. In brief, what the
seal is to the Eskimo the buffalo was to
many of our Indian tribes Almost every
part and parcel of the animal was put to
some good use-the skins were made into
tents or shields or clothing. the bones were
fashioned into weapons and tools and the
sinews were strung to the bows.-J. l..

The ChiIdlike Tartar.

missionary informs us that on bank
holiday he was in thoroughfare in Mile
End and found a Russian, who had been
on more than one occasion the recipient of
his bounty, selling semispoiled oranges
from barrow. Ivan, clothed in raiment
which was ragged and not superfiuously
clean, shouting as loudly as he could,
Orange orange; van vor penny, dree
for van 'ape'ney." The charity distributor
explained TO him that he was mai king "A
mistake-that he must intend the exact
reverse of what his words meant
But Ivan winked an eye and replied, Il

laugh and say, oh, pore foreign man. he
not know the language and they pay me
penny for one, and" he added more conf
dentially still, 1.-The orange not worth even
dree for van 'ape'ney." And Ivan trundled
his barrow away, mingling his nonsensical
cry with a song which his interrogation
said seemed a mixture of 'Bozhie Tsarya

Polly "in Hook"

There dwelt at fashionable boarding
house up town a young man by the name
of Peter Crane, who had in his possession
a very laxative parrot.
Happening to be very short of funds NJ
one time he was compelled to pawn polly
in order to obtain money for his board.
Fate seemed against him, and he was
unable to raise enough money to redeem
her. Polly il the meantime hung in front
of the pawnshop-as talkative as ever.
Happening to be passing in that direc
ton one day with his best girl he was hor-
riied to hear the parrot exclaim, pete
Pete, when are you going to get me outc"
1t is needless to say that Polly did not
hang in the same place in the front of the
pawnshop the next morning.-New York

A Banquet in Japan.

Dining is not in Japan the serious bust
tsess it is in England. The Japanese do
not meet to eat, but eat because they have
met, and conversation and amusements
form the principal part of a banquet Con-
versation need not be held only with your
neighbors, for if a man wishes to speak to
a friend in another part of the room he
quietly slips the paper panel behind him,
passes into the veranda, enters the room
again and sits down on the floor before his
friend. Exchanging cups is the chief cere-
mony at n Japanese dinner. Sake-a spirit
made from rice. resembling dry sherry-is
drunk hot out of tiny lacquer and gold
cups throughout dinner, and the musmes
who sit on their heels in the open space of
the floor, patiently watch for every oppor
tunity to fill your cup with sake.
When "A gentleman would exchange cups
which is equivalent to drinking your
health-he sits down in front of YOU and
begs the honor. You empty your cup into
bowl of water, have it filled with sake,
drink, wash it again and hand it to your
friend; he raises it to his forehead, bows,
has 1t filled and drinks. AS this ceremony
has to be gone through a great many
times, drinking is often a mere pretense.
Eating is, however, but a small part of the
entertainment. We must be amused, and
to amuse is the business of the geshas the
licensed singing and dancing girls who are
attached to every teahOuSe.
But the singers at a Japanese dinner
only take the part of the chorus in d
Greek play, and they sing the story which
dancing girls represent or suggest by a Sc
rleS OF gestures or pastures. The dancers
are splendidly dressed, and their move
ments are so interesting, so unlike any
thing seen in Europe, that we watch them
with curious sense of pleasure.-Table.

Familiar Signs.

Certain kinds of signs frequently become
completely identified with special lines of
business. Thus the ubiquitous Chinese
laundry sign is always quickly recogniz-
able by its coloring, lettering and general
appearance Many of the newspapers and
other periodicals use a style of lettering
which is Immediately and forcibly suggest
i've Of the periodical advertised by the
sign, the latter being nothing more or less
in fact than a reproduction on II large
scale Of the heading of the journal. We
have plenty of examples of this. Most of
the dailies display their headings some
where on the buildings they occupy.-New
