They rode beside the wall for 500 miles.
Pekin was entered and all the Ambas-
sailors received the tourists in most
royal manner. The Chinese En-
peror, Li-Hung-Chang, received the
tourists, and talked with them
for two hours. He had never
seen a bicycle before, and couldn't get
1t into his head how they got there on
such machines. The Emperor asked the
travellers what country they liked
best in their travels. He thought they
would say China, of course. But sur
prise awaited him, for both said the
United States. The ruler then asked
them what they left 1t for. Lii Hung
Chang then asked if they were Demo-
Gratis or Republicans. One was Demo
Gran aud one a Republican, and they
told him. This seemed a sumner to the
Emperor, aud he asked why this was.
The Democrat said it was because they
had different thinkers in their heads.
On their journey the bicyclists used
different kinds of wheels. Their trip
from San Francisco has been made on
elegant Veterinarian machines.
The wheelmen are members OF the Il.

bicycling clubs across the continent.
In New York the young men will
write their journey up in book form,

Benz. Mccullough, Brother oil Mrs. Dr.
Geo. Baird, Killed bya Burglar.
A brief telegram in the SUNDAY REG
IsrER from St. Louis announced the
murder at Woodstock, suburb OF that
city, early Saturday morning, OF Benja-
min 3. McCullouRh. Mr.. Mccullough
was paying teller Of the State Bank OF
St. Louis. A burglar entered his resi-
dence at Woodstock, and Mr.. McCul-
lobgh, hearing the noise, procured shot
gun and started TO investigate. The
burglar evidently left the house, but
Mr.. Mccullough followed him into the
ward, where scuffie occurred, and Mr..
McCuHogh was killed by revolver bull
let, fred through his brain by the
burglar.
MIR. Mccullough was native Of
this county, the youngest brother
of Mrs. DR.. George Baird, and
also of Kate, Jane and Louisa Nc
Cullough, Of this county. He left
Wheeling before the war, and has
been in business in st. Louis for many
years. A brief telegram was received
in this city Saturday, announcing that
Mr.. Mccullough had been killed, but how
was not stated, and as he lived in a
suburb, it was inferred it was by rail-
road accident. The telegram in the
SUNDAY REGISTER gave the first details
to his relatives and friends here.
President Charles Parsons, OF the
State Bank of st. Louis, has offered
81 900 for the capture Of the murderer.
The State will probably add $500 to this
and the Bank Clerks Association has
decided to do the same, and will also
pay 81, 900 to the family OF the murder
ed man.

"Talk about sick men in a hotel, n
said Ed Frey, veteran hotel clerk
who is stopping at the Southern.
"Let me tell you of an experience we
had with a fellow not long ago. He
came to the house all right, but he
took heavy cold and it seemed to
go into a sort of rheumatism and set
tied in his shoulders. The poor fell
low suffered awfully and couldn't lift
his hands to save his life. He sent for
doctor, and, of course, got a pre-
s;ription which didn't do him par
ticle of good. One of the bell boys
heard that witch-hazel was a good
thing. and seeing bottle of 1t in one
of the rooms brought it in to the sick
man. The fellow was glad enough to
try anything and the bell boy rubbed
him with it manfully. About two
hours after rubbing the sick man felt
the thing pcgln TO burn, and word
soon came to the Office that he felt as
if he were all atire. l went up and
found him in awful pain. asked
him the cause of it and he pointed to
the witch-hazel bottle. looked at it
and found that it was an old bottle
filled with furniture polish. There
was a state of things. Finally the
fellow in his pain commenced TO jump
about the room, and as he did so he
would throw his arms over his head.
In about an hours time the burning
stopped and his rheumatism was
gone. He had few blisters to take
care of, but he was SO glad to get the
use of his arms that he never made a
kick. Funny cure, wasn't itr-TSt.

The tradition that Spain was the
land of the fap and that all other peO-
pie were burgers in its use is dis
proved by some interesting Japanese
fan lore collected by Mrs. Salwey, a
member of the Societe Sinico-Japon-
aise of Paris.
Japanese warriors were accustomed
to 90 forth to battle with an immense
iron fan as a shield. When boy at
tains his manhood he is presented
with fan. BetroIhals are signalized
by the interchange of fans. Cake is
handed upon fans at tea time, and a
fan is used to blow the fire.
The fan IS used as a sort of target,
and butterflies and firefiies are caught
on fans. In fact, there is no occasion
in Japanese life when the fau is not
the most conspicuous feature. -[San

elephant had knocked them out with
her trunk, aud had disappeared.
Three balls had not killed her. A
deadly wound can only be given when
the ball enters through tie temple or

As the elephant has keen scent and
hearing, European needs long ex-
perience before he can hunt the animal
successfully. The n,s'iye. who creeps
noiselessly in his Annimite costume,
has, in spite of his inferior weapons, a

plants with poisoned arrows, which,
although they cannot penetrate the
thick skin, may inflict deadly wound
in softer parts, such as the trunk. In
such places the poisonous substance,
prepared from extracts of herbs, acts
so violently that the animal often dies
within ten minutes.

abate the smoke nuisance will greatly
add to the health of the city as well as

THE THREE CARAvELs OF COLUMBUS.
In the days of Columbus yes els were
generally called "caravels," and if of
considerable size for those times they
were called by the Spauiards naos.
When Queen Isabella determined to
help Columbus to make his voyage,
q royal order was sent to the city of
Palos to fit out three caravels and to
place them at the royal disposal. The
city made pretense of complying,
but it was so well known that the
ships were for Columbus's hazardous
venture into the terrible western ocean
that neither money nor force could
get them equipped and manned. Over
and over again the people were as
semblcd in the public square and the
order read with great pomp, but all
in vain.
Columbus, in his despair, begged
that the prisons be opened and the
convicts allowed to go with him.
Finally, ship-owner of Palos, Martin
Alonzo Pinzon, was induced, by an
offer of large share of the rewards
in case of discoveries, to make an
active effort to fit out the expedition.
He was popular sea-captain and
vigorous man of business, and it was
entirely due to him that Columbus was
able to set sail from Palos on his ever
memorable voyage. Pinzon con-
demned two of the caravels given by
the town, aud substituted two stanch
vessels of his own. One was q
decked vessel of three hundred tons,
large enough to be called a mao, and
the other was little thing with lateen
sails, which was chosen on account &C
her light draught, in case rivers had
to be assembled in the country they
expected 10 discover. The mao was at
first named the "Gallega," but they
renamed her the "Santa Maria"
Columbus took her for his flagship,
for he held an admiraPs commission
from Ferdinand and Isabella. The
little lateen-rigged caravel was called
the ''Nina." OF the three caravels
offered by the town of Palos, the only
one which Pinzon considered seawor-
thy enough to accept was the ''Pinta,'
boat about half as large as the Santa
Maria, and rugged like her. His
shrewdness in rejecting the others
was fully proved before the expedi-
ton reached the Canaries; for it was
discovered that the Pinta had been
tempered with. and had been pur-
posely weakened. A long delay in
the islands was necessary to repair
her.
Such were the vessels in which Col
umbus discovered America; one as
large as a small schooner, and the
other two about the size of lighters.
Had he suspected the length of his
journey, or known of the terrible
storms which can rage in the Atlantic
Ocean, he never would have dared to
venture out in craft so frail.-TSt.
Nicholas.
