1t is the opinion of military ex.

on their part. They could MOI

been in the first place to determine
the Chinese to pursue the war, anc
in the second place to retard the
Japanese government in its efor
to float a new war loan. The sue

A JAPANESE WEDDING.

A Japanese wedding has a most
mournful tone.
1t is not good form for the bride in
that country to admit that sho is glad
to get married When she is told of
the prospect she is expected to howl
loudly and long. Also she must keep
itup by day and night until the cere-
mony takes place.
After she has been richly dressed
for the event she must renew her
shrieks and hang back until one of the
attendants throws veil over her face
Then somebody carries her to sedan
chair. When she arrives Mt the bride
groom's house she is wife, the simple
ride in the flowery chair being the only
legal ceremony required, though pro-
fuse entertainment and congratula-
tions from assembled guests follow her
arrival.--New York Recorder.

Queer Sects I'm Rnssjn.

NJ. Tsakni, Russian writer, has
published an interesting work en-
titled "Queer Religious Sects of Rus
sin,' from which it appears that there
are not less than Is, 600, 600 followers
of insane and cranky notions in the
empire of the Gear. These communi-
ties of devout and deluded beings aro
constantly being enlarged, in spite of
all efforts made to the contrary by the
Government.
One of these sects is known ms tho
"Runaways. AS soon rs they embrace
the new faith they fly from their vii
lagos and towns, destroy their identity
as much as possible, and henceforth
live as savnges. "'The Christs" are
another curious sect; they worship
each other Tho chief ceremonies are
crazy species OF dancing, yelling MS
loudly MS possible, and pounding
stones with sticks.
The "Skuptsys" believe in self-mu-
tilation, but will not submit to ampu-
tation, even though it would save lifo.
Like the "Christs," they dance and
yell for hours without intermission.
Still another of these deludcd sects
is the "Dumb Boys" Why they are
called dumb boys no one seems to
know, but it is curious fact that the
sect is composed of both sexes, old
men being in the majority.
1t is claimed that some of these aged
patriarchs have not spoken in fifty
years, although perfectly able to do 80
did they SO desire.
"The Suicides" are sect led by NJ
Souekeliff, who breaches self-destruc-
tion as an absolute necessity to saliva
tior. He is very eloquent, and it is
said that he often leaves church with
dozen suicides remains strewn about

MoNTANA's WOMAN LAWYER.

The only woman who ever came to

Ella Knowles, Assistant Attorney GEN
eral of Montana, who was recently in
that city on official business. Miss
Knowles's spirited canvass for the At

elected, will be remembered, and it
WAS in recognition of her evident pop
ularity in the State that she was after

evidence of the esteem in which she
is held by the State officials is the fact
that she was sent to the Capital on

a Fighting stratagem of the Crawflsll

The common crawfish has many
points of interest, and not the least
curious is his plan of combat when
matched with powerful antagonist.
Without chelate limbs, he seems weak
and defenseless. One is ut first in
clincd to commiserate this apparent
want of means alike of ofense or de-
tense, especially in comparison with
his kindred, the Holsters, armed so
we'll with powerful seizing cheln. That
he had means of defense seemed prob
able; but it is only within the last
few days that this was satisfactorily
demonstrated. Without any particu-
lar intention in view, VIC had dropped
medium sized lobster into the tank
containing two large Palinurus. At
first no sign was given, but in little
while we were attracted by loud
noise as of n skirmish, and had an in
imitable object lesson in crnwiish war
fare. The larger of the two crawfish
apparently resented the intrusion of
the lobster, and was determined upon
election. There was good deal of
preliminary spurring, but the fight,
which promised to be protracted,
ended suddenly IN most unexpected
manner. Making sudden twist, the
crawfish got above the lobster cross
wise, and suddenly swapping his pow
erful tail, jammed the body of his an
togonist in the fold, thus impaling
him on the sharp downward spikes Of
the pleura that are so conspicuous OBJ
iects in side view of Palinurus. The
lobster was put quite hors de combat,
for his body was terribly mutilated
by tho sharp spikes, which had pierced
his armor as though it were tissue pa
per. Besides this instance, cases are
known where persons incnutiously
handling the crawfish have received
wounds on the arm inflicted by SINH
lar sudden flap of the tail. Natural
