My advice to those who contemplate
having plaster cast taken of their
heads and faces is don't. Two friends
of mine, amateur sculptors, persuad Il
me TO let them take cast of my face
so as TO reproduce and immortalize nv
features. l had no idea what the proc
ess was, and though l objected TO it on
general grounds did not imagine that
any torture was connected with il.
Judge of my horror, then, when |
found that my nostrils had TO be stuffed
with cotton wool and that a nasty. sticky
substance was pressed tightly all over
my face so as TO secure an impression
of my features. Nothing so utterly un-
comfortable could be imagined. and the
desire 10 scratch portions Of the face
specially irritating was almost irreSiSt-
ible. But the greatest agony was to
come. The young men had forgotten
In their hurry some precautions which
it Is usual TO take in order TO make 1t
easy TO break the cast in the center and
take ii off IN two pieces.
Hence it failed TO respond TO their
efforts to make it split, and l had to
wait until they could break it of in
sections. The heat in the interval was
oppressive In the extreme, and rs they
pulled off large pieces of flesh and
enough hair 10 make a small wig my
sufferings can easily be imagined If
l ever obtain fame, which l do not an
ticipate, my features will have TO be
immortalized in some way other than
by means of bust. st. Louis Globe

CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOMS.
A Brides Salutation to Her III usband Elect
and His Response.

A Chinese paper describes some anus
ing marriage customs. In small
mountain village between Kaga and
Etchu the bride comes to the BRIDE
groom's gate and bawls out to him,
"Aello, brother! I've come"
To which the other replies, "GIad
you've come"
The bride then appeals to him,
you'll never forsake me?''
And the bridegroom answers her,
We'll earn our living together.
With these assurances the bride comes
into the hoase, followed by a long pro-
cession of well wishers, old and young
Cheap, muddy sake is distributed to
them, and they commence dancing and
are not content until the floor gives way,
when they clap their hands, crying,
"How auspicious!'' and take their
leave.
At Kulita, in Echizen, the betrothal
takes place when the parties are or 8.
The boys parents and a deputation,
numbering from five to fifteen, proceed
to the girls family, who, anticipating
their coming, spread mats before the
houses and await them. After the usual
salutatiOn the deputation present as a
betrothal present pieces of hand woven
cloth for cushions and at the same time
praises the girls family, who return
the compliment with interest. Here
the ceremony ends, and the deputation
take their departure.
When the boy is ID or thereabouts,
he goes to stay with his betrothed S
family and works like mental at the
house for year, after which he is sent
home in fine apparel. Soon after the
girl comes to her lovers house, accom-
panied with rustic music and songs.
The noise and hustle are as great as on
the festival day of the tutelary god.
When the girl comes to the house,
cushions made of the cloth given by her
parents are piled one upon another for
her TO sit upon. On these cushions the
thrice repeated exchange of the triple
wine cups, the most important cere-
mony at wedding, takes place.

NOW A DESERTED VILLAGE.
Virginia City, New, Once Gay and Prosper
Gus, Rapidly Falling to Ruins.

Virginia City, New, Once Gay and Prosper
Gus, Rapidly Falling to Ruins.
"A poet could write on The Desert
ed Village with Virginia City as a sub
ject and surpass Goldsmith 5 immortal
production on the same topic" said E.
l.. HeaTne of San Francisco to Globe
Democrat man. The first time that
was ever there the population of Vir-
ginia City was greater than that of the
entire state now. Everything ran wide
open. Magnificent hotels and opera
halls, palatial residences. stores that
would have done credit to New York,
milliOnaires who spent money freely
maintaining society that for brillian-
cy and gayety could not be equaled in
the United States. l was there a short
time ago. The hotels and opera houses
are closed, the residences empty, the
stores removed to other and more pros
porous places. Dwellings that cost hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are given
over TO the bats, and the broken panes
of glass, the shutters hanging upon a
single hinge or tapping in the wind,
give a grewSOme sense of loneliness.
In years to come it will afford magnifi-
cent spectacles of ruins, and even now
in some sections of the town there is a
sense to the beholder of being in a city
of the past. Millions were made and
lost, and the history of Virginia City
would be one Of the most thrilling sto-
ries ever written. st. Louis Globe

The Tailor's Friend.

A New York tailor struck up an ac-
quaintance with local politician, and
they became constant companions. The
politician may be called Jones, and his
nickname is Bud, which stands for Ben
jamin. AS Bud the tailor met him, and
as Bud he has always known him. One
evening the tailor and his friend were
in an up town cafe, chatting and drink
ing, while another man kept sharp
eye on them. Finally the two friends
parted, and then the third man hastily
approached the tailor. "Well, " he said,
did you get anything ont of him?'
The tailor did not see the point Did
you not say anything to him about max
ing a payment" said the other. What
are you talking about answered the
tailor. That my friend Bud Jones. ."
THAT may be, but he's Benjamin Jones,
who owes you $40. I've been trying to
find him for three weeks TO collect ii. 3"
The dickens! said the tailor, Il
didn't know that. Guess you'd better
not try to collect that bill just yet. -

Curiosity of Easter Day This Year.

Easter day falls On Lady day this
year for the first time in the history of
the United States. The last time these
two days fell together was in 1742, and
they will not clash again until 1851.
Lady day has somewhat lost its signifi-
canoe and Importance of late years, and
it has never been such a special day in
this country as in some others where the
leasing and renting system Is more gen
eral.
1t is still, however, the first quarter
day of the year, and although for con-
venience rents and premiums are gen.
orally made payable on March 81 the
law in some states still recognizes March
% as quarter day. Easter has ito fall
exceptionally early to come into contact
with Lady day, and the coincidence
will cause inconvenience in countries
where a legal holiday and legal pay
day will be Simultaneous Louis

SaVages In Modern War.

1t was curious TO see the effect of
the seven FOUNDER and hotchkiss shells
upon the Matabeles when they were re-
treating. On the shell bursting among
them we could see through our glasses
the Matebeles turn round and fire at the
place where the shell had burst, think
ing it was some diabOlical agency of the
white man, From information we re-
ceived after this fight we learned that
the enemy had intended attacking us at
10 o'clock the previous night, but Ow~
ing to the rocket having been sent up
to recall Captain Borrow they were
afraid TO do so, thinking that we were
holding communion with our gods by
shooting at the stars and bringing them
down. London Telegraph.

4 Fatal Blunder.

Blunders that are literally worse than
crimes are not uncommon. Such one
was committed in 1886 by New York

prescription, caused the death of two
girls named Holtz by morphine poison
ing. But the consequences of the ter
rible mistake did not end there. The
betrothed of one of the girls, DIR. Low

DIsGUsTKD WITH DA CANA.

He Has Issued Another Manifesto

RIO DE JASKIRo, Jan. 2.-AdmirL da
CANA, commander Of the insurgent hsetin
the harbor, published yesterday . mani
festo which was intended to oountersct the
EFFECT of his celebrated declaration Of .
month ago In favor of the monarchy. This
declaration has weakened the cause Of the
insurgents greatly recently and has alien
ated from Mello and Cana several
officers who before Its appearance had been
their trusted friends and allies. Among
the people at large It's efforts have been
still more unfsvorAble to the insurgents
cause.
Consequently In his manifesto yesterday
Admiral da CANA asserted that his former
declaration was not q monarchist docu-
msnt. This declaration, 40 well a. other
papers attributed to him, he said In the
manifesto of yesterday, had bean altered
and printed In fAlsifed copies. he bad
not declared for the monarchy, but had
intended merely to ask the people of Bra
I'll what form of republican government
they wanted. Other Interpretations of his
declaration had not been made In good
faith.
This manifesto has fallen fat. Friends
Of the republic regard Il IS Q passing man
oeuvre TO win support to the insurgents
cause. While not gaining for the insur-
reotion any new republican friends the
manifesto has disguised many Of its form
er supporters a. the monsrchists are thor

TROUBLE WITH THE JURY,

One OF Them is Reported to he An
Intimate Friend OF Coughlin.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2-Runors of impending
trouble with the Coughlin jury are becom-
ing more prevalent. 1t is reported that
one juror, who swore on his examination
that he did not know the defendant, has
been shown to have been one of Coughlin's
intimate friends.
The report is not openly given credit by
the state, but 1t Is certain that the police
are searching into the past life of the man
suspected.
Daniel Coughlin was pointed out In
Judge TuthilPs courtroom this morning by
William Merles, a witness, as the man he
saw on the night of May 4, 1889, about
$50 O'Clock, jump out of buggy in front
of the Garrison cottage, unlock the door and
disappear. Merles came from Prescott,
Wis, to repeat the damaging story he told
at the former trial.
Coughlin equarely faced the witness and
looked hard at him. Merles recognized q
smaller man, who drove Coughlin to the
cottage, as John Kunzs, the 'little Dutch
man." who was tried with the conspira-
tors. Merles was In the milk business at
the time, but lost his customers as result
of testifying at the trial.
Judge Tuthill rendered a decision sd-
verse to the defenss's objection to the sd-
mission of testimony against others
charged in the indictment relating to acts
and conversations after May 4.

SHOULD BE INVESTIGATES.

Proceedings should be Instituted
Against mr. Mcleod II There f. ANY
Truth 10 the Charges made Against
Him.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-Judge Butler In
the United States circuit court to-day
handed down 9 long opinion In which he
refers to Special Master Crawford the pro-
ceedings brought by Isaac L. Rioe sgainst
the receivers, trustees, ETC., of the Phila-
delphis and Reading railroad.
After reviewing the charges of the petit
TONER and the answer Of the respondents,
Judge Butler justi6es the action of tho re-
delivers in making payments to brokers
employed by Mr.. Mcleod in his stock
transaction in order to save property which
had been pledged by him.
1.-THE payments were not ratification of
Mr.. McLeod's transactions" the judge CON-
tinues, "nor does II appear that the re-
delivers ratify them In any other way. The
charges made against Nr. Mcleod should,
I think, be investigated with . view to
ascertaining whether he In solely account
able In respect to the transactions referred
to and should be proceeded against accord
ingly. The transactions, In view of the
circumstances, are very extraordinary.
The petition charges that they were en-
of managsrs."
The matter Is then formally referred to
the master who will hold the daily hear
ings from II O. m. to p. M
As to the allegation that the receivers
should have abandoned the LshiRh Valley
lease earlier and that they paid rent TO the
disadvantage Of the Reading company, the
judge says:
"Whiie incline decidedly to the belief
that the receivers were justified In doing as
they did, yet In view of the large amount
involved and the fact that the petitioner
was not afforded an opportunity of being
heard before receivers acted I think these
matters should be referred to the master
to take such proofs as may be offered. The
only other subject which the court
refers to the master 10 In re-
spsct to the receivers failure to
comply with the provisions of the order
appointing them in respect to an inven-
tory and the accounts. The charges that
the receivers Disseminated in favor of the
Lehigh Valley road, that the receivers
failed in their duty respecting the alleged
issue by the company of 50, zoe, 900 of in
come bonds, that the receivers recognized
an illegal contract for the purchase of 49,
900 cars made by the company immediate
ly before the appointment of receivers, and
several others of like character, the court
refused to refer to the matter at all, saying
in regard to some of the allegations THAT
there is no doubt the petitioner has pro-
decided on insufficient information"
The court said that It would hold the
petitioner responsible for the payment of
the costs of the inquiry If he failed Alto
