Chinese Officials,

A Chinese mandarin is not expected
to have any friendships or intimacies
outside of his office, and he cannot en-
courage visitors within it's precincts
without laying himself open to a
charge of favoritism or corruption. If
the inhabitants of a district wish to
show their appreciation of an Of
fcial's administration and testify to
his probity, the most effective way in
which they can do SO is to wait upon
him at one of the city gates as he
makes his farewell exit and beg the
gift of the official boots, which are
thenceforward preserved in some tenn
pie as public property.

Gas Meters and Water Meters, why

1t was left to a Kansas City man to
foil the ice man, another prolific sub
ject for the funny men who write for
comic papers seems doomed. w. b.
Dickson, who by profession, is at the
head of school of shorthand, and in
cidentally is an author and inventor,
was recently granted a patent for an
ice meter, to be attached to refrigera-
tors. 1t is to be known as the Dickson
ice meter. BY it's use the consumer
will no longer be at the mercy of the
ice man and the ice man will no longer
be compelled to listen to the com
plants of his customers. The device
weighs the ice as it is day by day put
into the ice box and registers the
weight of each days purchase on a
months register SO that at the end of
the month LOOK at the register viii
show the exact number of pounds used
during that period. 1t indicates the
exact number of pounds of ice remain
ing in the refrigerator at any time of
the day, enabling the owner to know
whether or not it is necessary to order
ice. There are also other advantages
attached to the use of the meter. Mr..
Dickson has received numerous in
quiries about his invention and has
been offered fattering sum for it.

How Canadians and EaqulmauK Manage
Their Canine C0ursers.
Mr.. Cameron in his talk with a re-
porter told of the dogs that are used
for sledging during the winter in the
Northwest territories of. Canada.
Six or eight dogs are used on each
sledge. They are fed only once in
twenty-four hours, and that is in the
morning before the start is made, and
after the dogs are in harness. At
that time about four pounds of frozen
fish are given to them. Everything
must be in readiness for the start,
and the men must look to it that they
are at hand to jump on the sledges
for at the very instant that the last
morsel of fish disappears the dogs are
off at brealS-nech speed. Strange as
it may seem, the drivers do not dare to
feed the dogs unless they are in har-
ness. Otherwise they would scatter,
and nothing more would be- seen OF
them. They. are driven with one long
rein attached to the leader.
A whip with very short handle and
a very long lash is used to urge them
on, though in most cases they need no
urging, Tor they seem to feel that the
faster they go the quicker they will
come to the post where food and
warmth and a lazy life await them.
They travel often as far as ninety
miles day.

The same thing applies to the per-

RICH FAMILIES IN AMERICA.

AstOrs and the Vanderbilts Control Be-
tween Them Hundreds of MI lions.
A careful estimate of the wealth of
the Astors puts it at 5000. .OOOO, 900, and
this makes the family the richest in
the United States. What is more, the
wealth of the Astors is in such shape
that it cannot bat increase, for the
reason that it is gilt-edged New York
City real estate, some of which has
within the past ten years increased in
value 700 per cent and is still appreci-
ating. The policy of the Astors has
always been to buy real estate on the
now extending and hold it for a rise,
rarely selling, however, but building
and renting instead. The result is
that the Astor properties are ia valua-
BILE lands, in brick, iron, stone and
mortar instead of in fuctuating stocks
and bonds, the fixed value of which is
always uncertain. AS family the
Vanderbilts stand next to the Astors
in the matter of wealth, and thei1
riches must be considered in the
aggregate and in common, since their
individual fortunes are pooled, so tc
speak. You will often see Corneliu,
Vanderbilt, the present head of the
house, quoted as being worth $780,,
600, 900. OF course he is not worth
any such am cunt. Cornelius has most

deepen the Welland canal SO as to per-
NIT vessels of twenty-two-foot draft
to pass point near Thorold, Ont, and
from there to cut through to the Nj
agara river at a point just below the
rapids. Then he would deepen the
st. Lawrence river and the Canadian
channels along it to point due north
of lake Champlain. Here he would
cut a channel south to that lake, and
from its southern point dig a canal to
Troy or Albany. The Hudson river
would give them egress to the ocean.

Located in Utah.
Two of the most wonderful stalac-
rite caves in the world are located
within the territory of Utah-one FIVE
miles south of Toquerville and the
other twenty-five miles west of st.
George. Neither is remarkable on
account of size, and to the best of my
knowledge the dignifying title of ''cav-
ern" has never. been bestowed on
either of the two. They simply eome
within the category of wonderful be-
cause of the immense number of stall
actites, OF various sizes and colors
which depend from their roofs. The
first, the one near Toquervi1le, is
known as 'La Virgin @ld the other
by the name of % BLACK Warrior"
The Virgin was discovered a few years
Sgo by the contractor of an irrigating
company, who was also engaged in
driving a tunnel through a mountain
called La Virgin Rrnch" for the pur-
pose of tapping the river beyond.
When the light was first let into this
wonderful underground chamber the
effect is said to have been startling,
the roof and floor glittering with
cubes and points of crystal alum and
the roof studded with millions of rain
bow-colored sta1actites.
The "Black Warrior" cave is a coun-
terpart of the Virgin and was discov-

That Yarn About Lishtning CavortinE
On thIpbOard.

On shIpbOard.
When the captain of the steamship
ALBANIA, from Dundee. came into port a
few weeks ago and told a yarn about
ball of fire doing insane things about
the decks of his ship, there were some
people who beard the tale with scorn,
and others who wrote poetry about it.
And now here comes another Dundee
skipper who tells of similar electric
display.
He is Captain Lord, of the British
steamer Croma. which lately arrived
in New York from Dundee. Captain
Lord says his ship encountered heavy
weather from the start. Seas beat
high, and the barometer dwarfed it
self to 2s.45.
That night there was succession of
hail squalls, and the captain asserts
that during each squa1 every mast
head, yard-arm and gaff were ablaze
with composants, or st. Elmo's lights,
us mariners prefer to speak of them.
They came and went as the squalls
blew and subsidized. and, as these lasted
throughout the night, the ship was
several times Illuminated with dancing
tips of fire.
The ship during this time was driv-
ing before the gale with engines
stopped. She was lightly laden, and
the seas were swinging SO high that it
was found necessary to stop the en-
gines to check the frightful racing
the propellers. Waves constantly
dashed over the ship. and one of the
vessels crew was badly injured by be-
ing thrown to the deck.
Toward morning the wind fell light
and then came in fitful gusts. Then
the lightning got in its play, and for
an hour or two the ship was in a per-
feet blaze of sheet lightning.
