Muscular Irish Champions.

Yet another triumph Of Irish muscle
has been achieved. The principal event
at the Dublin Metropolitan Police Ath-
letic tournament, on September 9Th, was
q "tug- of-war," in which teams from var
ious parts of Ireland aud one from Glas-
gov competed The Dublin Metropoli-
tan Police team beat the Nun ter Fusi-
liers, and after an exciting contest the
Glasgow police team beat the Limerick
Conetabulary. The final ''tug" was be-
tween the Dublin and Glasgow men, and
after fierce struggle the Irishmen Won,
having pulled the Scots across the line
several times. A scene of extraordinary
enthusiasm resulted; the victorious team
were carried in triumph over the field,
and failing to get a competitor the
crowd, which was essentially Dublin
crowd, sschaired'' every other representa-
tive Of "the force" they could get hold of.
Previous to this event the Glasgow men
had been victors in thirty-two hard
fought similar contests.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat tells
about u cranky invention OF Il weste m
man who thought that horses are work
ed too hard. 1t was II carriage tia
ran on four very high wheels. The
driver sat in front, the passengers on
each side. like those on an Irish IauntinG
car. The horse was under the affair
and wiggled along with only his head
sticking out like 4 turtles. The
beauty of the arrangement WIS Il four
foot belly-baud that went underneath
the horse. and when the concern started
down hill the driver turned crank and
lifted the horse off the ground, and the
whole business, horse and all, rolled on
together till a level road was reached.
when the crank was again turned, the
horse lowered till his feet reached the
ground. when business was resumed
in the old way. The advantage OF the
invention was that it enabled the horse
to ride down hill the disadvantage was
that he could''not foresec and follow the
windiugs OF the road. There is no
knowing how much might come OF IT.
though, had it not happened that tho
machine ran off the track one day when
going down winding hill. ran into n
gulch, killed the horse, smashed the
whole contrivance to pieces and hurt
the man so badly that when he got
well he declined to undertake the con-
struction of another.

JAPANESE SWORDS.
The Peculiar Fierce LunEe Upward
Which Is Unexpected.

The pictures and carvings of japan.
as u rule. present their warriors armed
with .-o swords, one on each side
This crossword matter is more part
! of ceremony and state than anything
else. When Il japanese means busl-
!i.ss he needs only one sword. They
are not 80 sssillful of fence as the Euro
means. but nevertheless have number
of cuts aud slashes which, being IN
their nature so many surprlsesf woulu
give u swordsman unused to theif
methods some little trouble.
The first move Jap makes in
sword fight is fraught with danger to
his opponent There are no prelimi-
naries with Jap. The fight begins
with him while his blade is yet IN his
scabbard. and as he drafts his weapon
wisdom will give him about forty feet
| II room. Grasping the scaboard near
I the center he slightly tits it so that
the point OF the sword as 1t hangs b.
his side is if anything. L little higher
than the hilt. The sword ITSELF is
curved. very heavy and with its single
edge as keen as twenty razors.
When he draws it streams from The
scabbard ike beam of light, and as
it comes he makes Il prodigious step
forward with his right foot. accom-
panying the whole with rapid circu-
! lar slash upward of the back-handed
sort. The whole performance is one
motion and rapid in its execution ms
thought.
Your Jap will reach a man dozen
feet away and the keen blade starting
its rork low will split an opponent
like a rnacserel. A japanese swords
man always MAKE this upward sweep
on drawing his weaboh, whether an
enemy is in sight or not.

WHY SNOW is WHITE.
Al the Elementary Colors Are blended
Together In the Crystals.

The pure white luster of snow is
due to the fact that all the elementary
colors of light are blended together in
the radiance that Is thrown of from
the surface of the crystals. 1t is quite
possible 10 examine the individual
snow crystals in such way as to de-
tect these several colors before they
are mingled together to constitute the
compound impression of Wilderness up
on the eve. The snow is then clothed
with ali the varied hucs OF the rain
bow. The soft whiteness OF the snow
is also in some degree referable to the
large quantity of air Which is entan-
gled amid the frozen particles.
Snow is composed of great number
of minute crystals, explains London
Tit Bits. More than thousand dis
tinct forms of snow crystals have been
enumerated by various observers.
One hundred and fifty-one were noticed
during eight days in February and
March, 1855. by Mr.. Glashier, which
were carefully drawn, engraved and
printed in r. paper attached TO the re-
port Of the British Meteorological
society for that year.
These minute crystals and prisms
reflect all the compound rays OF which
white light consists. Sheets of snow
on the ground are known to reflect
beautiful pink and blue tints under
certain angles Of sunshine, and TO
fling back so much light as TO be pain
full to the eyes by day, and to guide the
traveller. in the absence OF noonshipr.

Tie crime of Suicide.

Sell-killing l. emphatically the crime
OF intellectual people. Almost unknown
to suvagcs rnre among Mohammedans,
il rnges among the nations most ad-
vanced in culture and refinement with
IA fierceness exactly proportional to
their mental developments. IT Is said
that Rome knew nothing Of this curse
till after the establishment of the en-
pire. II was when the Roman legions
had carried their eagles triumphantly
through the world. and brought back
the means OF luxury in spoils of Europe,
A-in aud Africa. that life in the Eter-
nal City began to be weary, stale,
fiat and Improbable. To-day the Ger
mans. who are the profoundest think
ers and the most cultivated people, are
also the most suicidal race in Europe.
France comes next, England third. 1t
ally and Hungary fourth, while, on the
other hand Spain the most backward
of European nations in culture, Ireland,
Protugal. Corsica and Dalmatia, rank
lowest in the suicidal scale. OF the
different regions of the same country,
the north and northeast of France out
rank in culture and in suicides the CEN
tire and southwest the north and centre
of Italy outrank the south and the is
lands; and SaXony, which in its schools
and general culture surpasses it also il
the number OF its suicides. In short so
universally does the rule hold that the
strength of the tendency TO sclf-killing
may almost be regarded as an index to
a peoples civilization.

Tax Commissioner Coleman on Taxa
ton.

Recently. before a New York legisla-
tive committee. Tax Commissioner Cole
man gave ii rs his opinion that the eff
feet Of the taxation of personal proper
~ in this state had been to drive ont of
this city. in one year, over $500, 600, 600
in capital represented in corporations
alone. At least 10 TO 90 per cent of
that amount represented the capital of
companies which had been doing bust
ness in this city. They had found IL
more profitable, however, TO wind up
their affairs in New York and reorgan-
lie in New Jersey. Excessive taxation
hud driven them across the river. Al.
though organized in New Jersey. many
of these firms did business only in New
York city. This information was the
result Of special investigation ON the
part OF Mr. Coleman. Among those
firms the witness named the Thurbcr-
Nhyland Cos Park < Tilford, the Gel
luloid Co, the United States Book Con
Germ, Deyoe x Co. and the Hoffman
Cafe The Hoffman cafe was capital
lied at 81, 2jU. 600 in New Jersey. This
fact greatly surprised the senator's
These concerns all received the same
pFbLeCtiOh from the IRE ana ponce
departments as those incorporated in
this state They contributed in return
practically nothing to the government
of New York. They depend upon New
Jersey for nothing except exemption. 1t
WAS true that they We're obliged TO pay
some money to the state of New Jersey.
The amounts, however were compare
lively small. New Jersey did not com
pei her corporations to make returns of
their property. Much of the other tes-
timony given by the commissioner has
been printed in the Standard heretofore:
but he made one new point against the
personal property tax. He said that it
was sapping at the roots of home life
in this city, for said he, the rates of
personal taxation are so obnoxious that
people instead OF building fine resi-
dences engage . suite of rooms in some
hotel and live at some club. A few
years ago hotels were but seven stories
nigh. now they are seventeen stories
high" The commissioner said that the
virtual abolition of the tax on personal
property would be of the greatest bene-
TT to the city OF New York.
