TOMB OF cONFUcIUS. J

ReAched BY IN Avenue Lined with Stone
Figures OF Animals and Myths.
The city of Chufu-hsien, the Mecca
of the believers of Confucianism, is in
the province of Shangtung, one Of the
most populous districts Of the orient.
Here Confucius was born and here his
sacred bones lie buried. The tomb,
which is located in one Of the largest
cemeteries in the province, about
three miles out from the city above
mentioned, is described by the St.
Louis Republic as one of the most i'm
posing in the whole empire. The grave
itself is surmounted by an earth
mound about twelve feet in height, the
whole surrounded by q cluster Of
gnarled oaks and stately cypress trees.
Before the mound is tablet about six
feet broad and twenty feet high, upon
which is inscribed the names and deeds
of the great founder Of Confucianism,
a religion adhered to by over four hun
dred million human beings. The bur-
den of this inscription, according to
reliable translation. is Perfect One,"
absolutely Pure" Perfect Sage"
First Teacher" Great Philosopher"
etc. The avenue which leads up to
the philosophers tomb is even more in
teresting than the actual place of
burial itself. On each side of this
avenue are rows of huge animals cut
in stone-lions, tigers, elephants and
horses, beside numerous mythical
creatures, such as animals half dog
and half frog, beasts with four legs
and twice asmany wings, besides null
titude of unnamable monsters that
never lived on the earth, in the water
or in the air. Taken altogether the
burial place of Confucius is one of the
chief spots Of interest in the orient,

PROGRESS IN RAILWAY BUILDING
Advance Made In the United States and
n Great Britain.

Advance Made In the United States and
y Great Britain.
Great Britain and ireland have now
about 10000 miles of railways, Of which
a little over one-half are double
tracked. Their capital stock and debt
amount to the enormous sum of $780,.
100000. The net earnings were last
year little over per cent. of the CAPT.
tai invested and the gross earnings
were for last year almost s4iO, zoo, 900.
The railway system of the United
Kingdom is practically finished, says
the Pittsburgh acknowledgements
Nothing in the way of new
railroad construction is going on
worth mentioning. A little over
100 miles of new road were added,
and part of this was an exceptional
matter. The picture presented in these
few figures is that of q finished coun.
try, fully developed in all parts and re-
sources.
Now turn to the United States. Our
mileage now amounts to III 200 miles,
more than eight times as large as that
Of Great Britain. The gross earnings
last year amounted to over thousand
millions of dollars. During this time
there were railroads Of a total length
Of nearly 1000 miles constructed. In
other words, every three or four years
we build as many miles of railroad as
the total number that suffices the Eng
ish, Scotch and Irish people.
And the American task is not done by
any means. The growth along exist
ing lines can well be imagined when it
is considered that the English railways
serve a population of $4,000, 900, or one
mile for every 1900 inhabitants, while
our 10000 miles serve for 10000, 900 of
people, or one mile for 36O inhabitants.

OBSTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKES.
Some Of the Appalling Disasters That
Have Waited ,Japan.

Earthquakes are Of SO frequent &C.
currencc in Japan that they are looked
upon a. matter Of course. and unless
they are accompanied with 4 serious
loss Of life and destruction of property,
the outside world hears little of them.
Some Of the earliest japanese tradi-
ti"ns, says lIarpcr's Weekly, are of ex-
tremely destructive earthquakes. and
many fanciful tales are told of those
which happened previous t" the times
Of trustworthy historical records But
there are many authentic records OF
earthquakes which destroyed whole
cities The most serious of these dis.

days of the quake. 3GS distinct

the houses tumbled down and caught

but in nearly every house it is reported
that one or more unfortunate victim
was caught. How great the loss of life
has been has not yet been reported, but
enough is "ewn to place the loss at
several thousands. When the first
shock was felt at Gifu the up and down
trains on the Takaido railway were
just meeting. The shock was accom-.
panied by a rumbling sound, and the
people on the train thought that there

THE TERM "YANkEE."


Various Theories Which Have Been Ad.
vanced ~ to Its Origin.
The theories which have been ad.
vanced as to the origin of the name
Yankees are numerous. According to
Thierny, it was corruption of Jakin,
diminutive OF John, which was a
nickname given by the Dutch colo
nists of New York to their neighbors
in the Connecticut settlements.
In a history of the American war
written by DIR. William Gordon and
published in 1889 was another theory.
DR.. Gordon said that it was a cant
word in Cambridge, Mass, as early as
1713, used to denote especial excellence
as a Yankee good horse, Yankee
good cider, etc. He supposed that it
was originally byword in the college,
and being taken by the students into
parts of the country gradually obtained
general currency in New England, ana
at length came to be taken up in other
parts of the country and applied to
New Englanders as term of slight re-
proach.
Aubury, an English writer, says that
1t is derived from q Cherokee word
eankee-which signifies coward and
slave. This epithet was bestowed upon
the inhabitants of New England by
the Virginians for not assisting them
In war with the Cherokees. The
most probable theory, however, is that
advanced by Mr.. Heckewelder-that
the Indians in endeavoring to pro-
nounce the word English, or Anglais
made it Yengees or Yangees and thit
originated the term.

WHITE HORSE OF LAMBOURNE.


Tho Strange Natural Formation which
May He Seen on an English Hillside.
In Berkshire, England, is situated q
hill on the steep sides of which is the
figure Of a gigantic horse whose di-
mansions are almost an acre in extent.
The head, neck, body and tail of this
wonderful figure consist Of wide
white lines. as does also each of its
four legs. The outlines of this mon
strous specimen of the genus equinus
are formed by cutting trenches in the
chalk, Of which the hill is mainly COM
posed, the bitches being from two to
three feet deep and about ten feet in
width. The chalk of the trenches be-
ing of a beautiful white and the sur
roundings the greenest of the green,
makes the figure of the horse plainly
discernible, according to the Philadel.
phia Press, at a distance of about
twelve miles. This is the famous
white Horse of Lambourne The
white horse is known to have been the
standard of the Saxons, and some have
supposed that this monster emblem
attic figure was made by Hengist, one
of the Saxon kings. Mr.. Wise, an an
tiquarian who has written much on
the white horse of Berkshire. brings in
several arguments to prove that this
figure was made by or under orders
from Alfred during the reign of Ethel
red, his brother, and that it is a monu-
ment to victory over the Danes in the
year 81. Other well-known writer's
are Of the opinion that the celebrated
white horse is a natural freak-one of
natures oldest oddities. Ashmead-
Burton thinks that the early tribes
noticed that the outlines of the freak
resembled a horse to a certain extent
and that they worked it into its pres
ent shape, at least that they gave the
outlines their present graceful SYM
metry. However this may be, it has
been the custom since time out Of mem

THE GRAND OLD WOMAN. ,


A Name to Which Mrs. Gladstone Ii En-.
titled. ..v.n,
Sir Andrew Clark has often been
heard to say that Mrs. Gladstone is
quite as much entitled to the name Of
the Grand Old Woman as her evergreen
husband is to that of the Grand Old
Man. On January 10 last, says the
London Telegraph, Mrs. Gladstone's
eightieth birthday came round and she
passed the morning in writing letters to
her friends in England, task which
she accomplished without wearing
glasses Of any kind as aids to her sight.
In fact, she has never yet known what
it is to need spectacles, and yet her eyes
are as bright as those of q young
woman. Every morning passed by Mr..
and Mrs. Gladstone at Hawarden sees
them both at church. nearly three
fourths of . mile from the castle. 49,
Close to the church is the corrugated
iron building in which Mr.. Gladstone
has already deposited about twenty
thousand volumes, the overflow Of his
own private library at the castle, every
volume Of which he has placed with his
own hand on the shelves of the new
library. which he has given to the par
ish of Hawarden. Be the weather what
it may, the prime minister invariably
walks to church and back, taking par
ticular pleasure in this matutinal exer.
else when snow is falling heavily. Mrs.
Gladstone goes thither and back in her
little pony carriage, which she drives
herself. It is said that Mr.. Gladstone
does not know what it is to have head.
ache or to suffer from cold feet.

ers dozen or more rattlesnake heads
and puts them in a spherical earthen
vessel. With these he puts half pint
of a species of large red ant that is
found in many parts Of Arizona. The
bite OF this ant is more poisonous than
that of bee. Upon these he pours a
bit of water and then seals up with
moist earth the lid of this vessel. He
then digs hole two feet deep into the
ground, in which he builds a roar
ing fire and puts in some stones.
When the interior of the hole and the
stones are red-hot he makes a place in
the bottom for the earthen vessel and
puts it in. About 1t and upon it he puts
the Goals and hot stones, and upon the
top he builds fierce fire and keeps it
up for twenty-four hours. Then he digs
out his vessel, and, standing off with q
long pole, he disengages the top and lets
the fumes escape. The Indian insists
that if the fumes should come in his
face they would kill him. The mass
left at the bottom Of the vessel is a
