Examinations In China.

China is absolutely governed by bu-
reaucracy, created by competitive exami-
nation, tempered by connections, interest
and bribery The universal ambition is
to become government official. There is
the temptation Of almost irresponsible
power, with great prizes, and of many lu-
crative places; but, on the other hand, the
blanks are innumerable, and the majority
of the asririslts must resign themselves
to mendicancy. Six or eight Thousand
competitors may be assembled Each man
is carefully searched in case he should
have concealed cribs about his person.
Then he is slut UP with the examination
papers for two days in an unfinished cell
about half tic size of a roomy bathing ma

is, and in these dispiriting conditions he
dashes off various essays and must throw
off verses by the page. Should he come
out successful, it is much to his credit, but
even then, unless he has influential
friends, he may wait indefinitely for the

Puff, Pur, Bang.

The growth of new words in our exist
ing languages is the safest guide, to the
origin of language in general. Such new
words are continually arising from day to
day in our midst. just at first they are
usually initiative or onomatopmic and
more or less inarticulate. They are def
Gent in vowels. The steam engine seems
to say to us, ''P'f, pr, p'f" the cat seems
to say to us, 'rrr, p'rrr, p'rrr;" the
sound of cannon ball as it strikes the
ground, we represent by '.Th'd;" the
sound of gun we represent by 'tB'ng"
But when we come to use these sounds
Familiarity as parts of language we soon
grow to vocalize them. We say puff, puff,
puff; pur, thud, bang.
In proportion as we use such words in
composition do they become more and
more articulate and less and less onomat.
opeic, while at the same time they tend
to become widened and conventionalized
in meaning. At last, when we talk of
whizzing wheels, of a banging door, of
giving friend a puff in the papers or of
dexterously booming new invention, we
have almost lost sight of onomatopeia al
together. Even when we remark that the
cat purs or that we distinctly heard loud
thud at a distance we are scarcely CON
scious of the initiative intention.

Buying a Horse.

An amusing horse story comes from one
of our sporting neighbors A gentleman
who concluded to tweed OUT his stables
and get in some fresh blood sent horse
to one of the recent sales and received as
the result $3.50. A day or two afterward,
wishing to replace the animal, he visited
we'll known horse exchange, and after
carefully examining the stock finally Sc
lected a good looking animal which, he
was told, had recently arrived in a car
from the west The price asked was $780,
This, although more than the purchaser
cared to give, was finally acceded to, as
the animal was q fine, snowy beast and
seemed to answer all his requirements So
quite satisfied with his acquisition, Mr.
r. paid the price and ordered his new pur-
chase to be sent to his stables.

THE PHANTOM LOCOMOTIVE.
a singular and Weird Experience of Union
facific Engineer ExESaiued.

Ac Engineer ExI&aluod.
"Dld you ever hear of phantom loco
motlve! inquired one of the old time I'm
ion racine engineers of a number of his
associates who were relating their expe-
riences and hairbreath escapes. All the
mon, who have grown gray at the throt-
tie, admitted this was new one on them,
and the old timer proceeded:
Back in the seventies the Union Pa

the west side Of Sherman hill to assist the
trains up between Laramie and the sum-
nit After helping train up the hill the
engine would be run back to Laramie.
was IN charge of an engine pulling
the regular passengers up the hill one gray
morning. just as we neared the snow
shed that used to stand at Harvey siding
an engine suddenly poppaa out in front of
us. Before | had time to even get square
look at her sho disappeared in the shed
and was lost to view. The whole thing
happened SO suddenly that I was dunn
founded, but was positive had seen an
engine, and SO was my fireman. I at once
shut off, and tho train came to stand
still. The conductor came over and asked
what was the matter. Bill, said I, I
just saw an engine pop out of that snow
shed and just as suddenly disappear
again
" Are you positive2' said the knight Of
the punch, and he peered up the track,
and I asserted I was. We had better
move on anyhow, and if you see one it
will probably keep out of our way
so we proceeded up the hill, keeping
careful watch for the mysterious engine
which made my heart jump into my throat
as she emerged from the snowshed. The
siding was reached, but there was no sign
of an engine threatening us with a head
end collision The train men laughed at
me and said must have seen spirit
Had it not been for the fact that my fire
man sided with me, I don't know but that
I should have given up and admitted I
was mistaken.
"A careful watch failed to reveal any
sign of the stray engine, and when we
stopped at Sherman all the trainmen had
a hearty laugh at my expense. But was
still positive and insisted on making a
hunt, and we found an engine hid away
in the little roundhouse located at that
point.
l&,sThe engineer was man named Jor-
dan. He had overlooked new time card
and had started to take his engine back to
Laramie after helping a freight up to the
summit He could see the headlight Of
our engine before he emerged from the
snowshed This accounted for his sudden
disappearance. His engine was almost
stopped when he came out, and it did not
take him long to get to going back up the
hill again at lively rate. The engineer
thought we did not see him, and he would
just hide in the roundhouse at Sherman,
and no one would be the wiser for his lit
tie escapade. ~

Sleeping After Meals.

Physicians now declare that any one
who feels inclined to sleep after a meal is
committing q crime against his digestion
by not indGlging his somnolency. The
theory that these iconoclasts advance is
that when a person has taken a heavy din
her the stomach demands special influx
of blood whercwith to accomplish its work
OF digestion. The brain cannot meet this
demand unless the cerebral functions be
meanwhile partially or wholly suspended;
hence the benefit of $40 winks. - Dys-
