Blondin's Narrow Escape.

1t isn't always safe to place too much
confidence in strangers, as a good many
victims of the bunco game have found
to their cost. Sometimes physical dan
ger results, as in the case of Blondin's
narrow escape.
Blondin, the renowned rope walker,
usually carried man upon his back
when walking the tight-rope. Former
ly he was wont to bargain with some
one to accompany him on his danger
GUS journey. On the occasion of per-
Torrance in Chicago a man offered his
services gratis. Blondin accepted them
and assembled to the rope with his liv.
ing burden When the pair had
reached the middle of the rope the mar
began to laugh heartily.
What is it that amuses you?" the
rope walker asked, with establishment.
oh, comic idea has just struck
me. | was thinking what sort of face
you would pull if, during the next half
minute, both of us were to fall down
upon the audience"
But we shall not fall, replied Blon-
din, reassuringly.
But 1 have determined upon this
occasion to take my life"
At the same moment the man began
to wriggle about so that the rope.
walker nearly lost his balance. He,
however, soon composed himself,
dropped his balancing pole and gripped
the man so firmly with his hands that
the latter was unable to move.
Then, continuing his walk, although
in great state of trepidation, he az
rived safely at the end of the rope, and
allowing his living burden to slide
from his shoulders, he administered a
box on both ears with such force that
the would be suicide fell down uncon-
scious. Since that terrible journey
Blondin has carried only one man, his
true and faithful son, on every occa-
sion.

Some Newspaper Stories.

Here are some newspaper stories told
at a dinner given at the Gridiron Club,
of Washington, recently: A telegram
was once received at the office of tho
New York HeraId from James Gordon
Bennett : There is something in the
air. Can you get at it ?" The we'll
known editor of an Ohio paper sent this
message Things dull here. Can you
send us a sensation based on facts?''
In response the Washington represen-
tative wired back: No trouble about
the sensation. Send facts at once"
Another incident was the case of one
of the society correspondents, who.
during Cleyeland's administration, re-
ceived an unexpected telegram from
one of her papers on Christmas Day {:
Send five hundred words on how Mrs.
Cleveland took her Christmas turkey"
Flashed back on the spur of the mo.
ment went the answer Can do it in
fewer words than that. Mrs. Cleve-
land took her turkey as Cleopatra did
her pearl-swallowed it.

Japanese Dentistry.

While Mr.. Hubbard was minister to
Japan, visited that country and spent
n pleasant week with him. One day 1
was troubled with the toothache, and
Mr. Hubbard took me to dentist and
explained to the saddle colored opera
tor that | wanted the grinder extracted.
| was placed in a bamboo chair and
tilted slightly back. The dentist ex-
amined my teeth, talking volubly mean
while to Uncle Sans representative.
Suddenly his thumb and fore finger
closed on the troublesome tooth, and
before | had the faintest idea of what
was going to happen, he lifted it out
and held it up before me, smiling at the
same time that vacant smile peculiar to
the children of the Orient
You were waiting for the forceps,
were you?" said Minister Hubbard,
with laugh. They don't use them
here. Look at this. Here is young
Jap taking his first lesson in dentistry.
A twelve year old Japanese boy sat
on the floor having before him board
in which were number of holes into
which pegs had been tightly driven. He
was attempting to extract the pegs with
his thumb and foreinger. Mr., Hub
bard explained that as the strength of
this natural pair OF forceps developed
by practice, the pegs would be driven
in tighter. After a couple of years of
peg pulling the young dentist would
graduate and be able to lift the most re-
frootorv molar in tha Same maDner that
he now lifted wooden pegs.

No More Knocking Down,

Time was that a passenger conductor
on railroad running out of Philade!.
phia used to drive to the depot in fine
carriage, with driver in livery, when.
ever he was going to take out his train.
He returned small fortune when he
was investigated. Those were the days
when conductors had q chance to steal
the fares that were paid to them by
passengers who did not have tickets.
Very many of them did steal. Sums
as great as seyenty-five thousand dol
lars have been recovered from thieving
conductors. 1t is told of one of these
conductors that he once collected fare
from man who was one cent short
of the full amount. The passenger
made good the shortage in a few days,
and said to the conductor, Il suppose
you haue turned in my fare, and now
you will keep this penny?" The con-
ductor looked at him. "Oh, no" said
he; Il pocketed the fare, and am going
to turn this penny in to the company"
All this business is thing of the
past. To-day conductors get few
chances to profit unduly. Not only are
passengers obliged to have their tickets
punched at the depots in the principal
towns, but far closer watch than that
is kept upon the tickets. On the great
roads the numbers of the tickets sold
for each train are charged against that
train. If man buys ticket and car.
ries it several days without using it,
that ticket Is still charged against the
train it was sold for. If several tickets
thus charged are not turned in, the
company looks into the case. If con-
ductor should take tickets, as used to
be done, and turn them in to friendly
agent, unpunched, to be sold again, his
accounts would not agree with the sta
ton agents or the general passenger
agents records, and he would be called
upon to explain the irregularity. AL
most the only chance dishonest con-
ductor has to nip" fare now is when
man at flag station has not been
able to buy tick t. The conductor is
pretty certain to give him rebate
check, because the stray passenger
may be spotter.

SOME WONDERFUL WHIPS.

The C,oss-Eyed Man Beat Them All ii

They had been telling stock whip
stories till the tea in the old key was
run out, and the smoke in the hut was
thick enough to be sawed, says the
Sydney Bulletin. "Toothy" Hoskins

tina who could cut COW with his
whip, skin her and carve up the car

through two miles of thick scrub with
q new whip and offered his solemn
oath" in corroboration.
A white headed youth, new arrived,
had relative who could take stock
whip in either hand and write the
Lords Prayer on the bark of white
gum with the left hand weapon while
playing a jig with the other on a tin
dish at five PAGES. Harry Clark thought
that pretty considerable, but he had
met a fellow in Boure who could pull
corks with ever stroke OF his whip. and
wind up Waterbury watch by Ticking

Presently the new arrival, with the
clean sweep shave and cross, bred eyes,
ventured to speak. He was IN incon-
sistent man, who had excited grave
suspicion by saying grace at tea, and
then disarmed suspicion Ivy producing a
bottle of rum big enough to go twice

CHINESE JUSTICE.
Tor Ways That Are Dark 1t Is Undoubtedly


Tor Ways That Are Dark 1t Is Undoubtedly
Queer.
The crooked ways of the Chinese
justice are strikingly exemplified BY
some cases recorded in the Pekin Ga
zehe.
In one a commandant at Oh 'ingchow.
having reason to suspect that some
wanton acts of mischief done to his
roof were due to the spite of a mis-.
guided clerk, he told one of his cor.
porals that the man was "sorceror.
The record Of proceedings in the Chi
nese courts goes on gravely to say that
the corporal thereupon went out and
had a fight with the clerk and after
wards laid against him a complaint of
sorcery. The commandant then ar
ranged with the corporal that the latter
should accuse the clerk not only OF
practising witchcraft, but of having
asked assistance in assassinating the
commandant. Afraid to refuse a favor
of his superior, the young man obeyed,
and convenient witness was duly pro-
vided. The civil authorities apparently
had their doubts, and the case was re-
moved to higher court. Then the
corporal became frightened lest his
share in the conspiracy should come
out, and went to see the commandant.
Being refused admittance, he threat
ened to expose the whole matter and
so alarmed was the commandant at tho
threat that he straightway shot himself.
1t is at this point, as one commenta
tor has remarked, that the peculiarly
of Chinese justice comes in, for no
sooner did the authorities hear of the
commandments suicide than they SEN
fenced the unhappy corporal to death
by strangulation for comprising" his
superior's self-murder
