JAPANESE RITES.
Frederick vilIiers Describes Funerals After
 the Battle of Ping-Yang.


 the Battle of Ping-Yang.
 Many of the sick and wounded who die are cremated Their ashes are col lected, placed III small square boxes, in- tered for time ill the little cemetery outside the foreign settlement at Che mulpo, and after awhile exhumed and sent to Japan. The ceremony 1 beheld in Chemulpo after the fight at Ping Yang was not impressive or solemn, but simply curious. Eighty bodies had been cremated ill various parts of the country and forwarded to tho treaty port in small boxes These were placed i'll two large, black cases at tho hospital, and preceded by motley group of coolies, citizens and soldiers were carried to the burial plot.
 First came coolies with branches of foliage and white streamers in their hands Then few soldiers, marching with reversed arms. Immediately pre- ceding the black cases was Shinto priest in yellow kimono and. black gauge shako. Round his neck was q purple cord, at the end of which hung a
 
 from time to time as the procession wended it's way he footed on, producing an inharmonious sound which reminded mo of my own attempts on that instru- ment when boy. The coolies, the fol- lowers and the lockers. on seemed to treat the whole thing more as good joke than solemn function and chat fod rt1 lax T ks1k k,a:1 h fcb pOntnnf
 Arrived at tho cemetery, the process sion halteds before tho altar, on which were placed bottles of saki, fruits, eggs and birds of various kinds, including a live rooster. Behind this hospltable board were placed the remains of the eO bodies. The Shinto priest, who stood alone before the edibles, stretched out his hands and made several passes with his fan in the direction of. the rooster, groaned aloud. then oiapped his hands three times, after which he indulged a little on the flute Then ho groaned again, strengthened himself, retired q few paces, took several paces to the left and right, then advanced again, groaned and footed. He then requested by a niBn Oii6 OI tlo Liouihois co e" "H ~ take his place.
 He then handed one of the branches of foliage to the gentleman and retired. The mourner proceeded to lay the branch on small table ill front of the altar, then saluted and moved away to allow another mourner to take his place. When all the branches were piled on the table, the black cases were opened and the small square boxes taken out py the coolies and carefully inferred. The Shinto priest retired to the bosom of his family, with the saki bottle, the i've rooster md tho rest of the chow. ln lieu of tombstones. tho Japs use, when cam paigning, small wooden posts to mari the resting place of their dead.

about four feet long and as thick as q broomsticI< was produced, and I and an other gentleman were requested to hold 1t in vertical position before 1ls while grasping it firmly in both hands The girl, standing in front of and facing us, placed the palm of her open hand against the lower portion of the stick, resting it on the side nearest to us and farthest from herself. After rubbing her hand up and down for few moments in or der ''to make better electric contact, :" as we were informed, and after enjoin- ing us to hold the stick perfectly verti- cal, we were told to press down on it as hard we could.
 This we did until the veins seemed to stand out on our foreheads; but, ex- ert ourselves as hard as we could, we, two strong men, were unable to press down hard enough to make tho stick slip past the opon palm of her hand. Had the girl grasped the stick. with her two hands, l am sure she could not have withstood my downward pressure alone I would have borne her, stick and all, to the floor. But there she stood, with but one open hand bearing against the side of the stick, and both us could not by our united efforts force the stick past that wonderful hand. Surely there seemed something uncanny about this. But it is very simply explained
 The whole secret consists in insisting upon, the men holding the stick in vertical position. When the girl s open hand is first placed against the lower portion of the stick, she moves it two or three times up and down, pulling gradually moro and moro against it. As this tends to pull the stick away from the vertical, she Insists that the men keep it straight Thus cautioned, they will exert more and more effort until, when she feels that the pressure against her hand is sufficient, she instruets them to push down with all their might They do so and imagine that they are exerting tremendous vertical thrust, whereas their vertical effort is actually very slight-insufficien even to over- come the friction of the stick against her moist hand. The men are really ex- erting tremendous effort, but are de- ceived as to its direction. With thoir hands tightly grasping the upper end of the stick they arc really trying to force the other end of the stick against the palm of her hand. IN. W. Perry in Cassier's Magazine.

worK genel-sIIy enas ln a U1unoer wnI0n betrays her. She is perseYering only when moved by passion. She does not look at a case dispassionately. She at once decides that he or she is guilty or innocent and works on that theory.
 "A woman enjoys the mysterious, and she is so elated at her position as detec' i've that she is unable to conceal her identity or the secret investigations of q case.
 Women are even failures in running down criminals of their own sex. A woman criminal will mislead woman detective by working on her vanity, oredulity or sympathy. and, worst of all, if the detective be attractive and the man criminal handsome-well, 8 man is better for detective work, and besides woman will sell out case, and cheaply at that, relying upon her sex to escape punishment if detected. :" New York Herald.

Well, general, I suppose life can never get entirely dull to an American, because whenever he can't strike up any other way to put in his time he can always get away with few years try ing to find out who his grandfather was. '"
 I fairly shouted, for I had never heard it sound better, and then was back at him quick as flash:
 Right, your exeelleney. But reck- on Frenchnan' got his little standby for a dull time, too, because when all other interests fail he can turn ill see if he can find out who his father was. "
 Well, you should have heard him inst whoop and caeklo and carry on. He reached over and hit me on the shoulder and said:
 Land, but it's good It's immense ly good! I George, I never heard it said so good in my life before Say it again. "
 So I said it again, and he said his again, and I said mine again. and then he did, and then did, and then he did, and we kept on doing it and doing 1t, and never had such good time, and he said the same. Ill my opinion there ism t anything that is as killing as ono of those dear old ripe pensioners if you know how to snatch it out ill a kind of a fresh sort of original way.

Sickroonns.

A medical journal urges, sensibly enough, that in the present extravagant expenditure in house building little money should be laid out in arranging for sickroom, built on the sunny side and equipped with at least the simple means for isolation and care of sick person. Ventilation should be we'll con- sidered. The walls may be of washable material-paint tiles or covered with waterproof bath paper. The plumbing should be out of but convenient to it. A little of the time and money invested in libraries, bathrooms and oriental par lors spent on an apartment whose use in an emergency not unusual to frail hu- manity may insure the comfort and safety to the family that Is necessary to the enjoyment of the more luxurious rooms

English women are teaching Ameri- can women some important facts about footgear. We know today that touch of patent leather removes the shoe from street use, except in case Of walking to and from afternoon teas and luncheons That only seal or calf skin suits the pave- ments; that low shoes are to be reserved for summer wear; that spats are not good form, except for men, and that laced shoes are the smart thing for the forenoon.

wHYwoMEN MAKE POOR DETECTIVES
4 Secret Service Man Says the Opposite
 Sex Make Bad Spies.

"Women are not good detectives, ," said an experienced secret service man on being asked his opinion. ''To begin with, there are many places to which q woman cannot go without exciting sus- pioion, and this defeats her object at the outset but beyond this woman is unftted by nature for detective work
 Tn the first place, she jumps at q con clusion and acts on it in opposition to all human probabilities, possibilities and reason. As rule, woman does not reason. She looks on thing as she wants it to be or thinks it ought to be, and will follow that theory. She is led by prejudices. fayors or sylnpathies, re- gardless of facts.

The Acrobatic Horse.

At Highland Falls, N. Y, Mr..
Smith Mandigo owns several fine
trotters. He harnessed one to
sulky the other morning and drove
to Stephens's Hotel. He left the
trotter in charge Of a boy, and was
being shaved. when piercing screams
were heard The men rushed out
and were Mortified to see the horse
standing on his head, while the
sulky, containing the boy, was poised
high in the air. The lad chung to
the rig, but dared not move. While
Mandigo and the barber were debat-
ing what to do, the horse TUNED
complete somersault and the boy
was thrown into the branches of q
pine tree. He escaped with a few
scratches. The sulky suffered badly,
but the horse seemed all right.
Mandigo cannot account for the
horses strange action. The animal
may have a desire to 60 with circus
company, and so stood on his head
to show of, not caring what became
of the boy or sulky.

Wide Tires and Good Road.

Farmers and others who are accus-
toned to haul heavy loads over poor
roads appear in the main oblivious to
the benefit and superiority Of the
wide tires over the narrow ones in
general use. Manufacturers OF heavy
road and farm vehicles will of course
cling to the narrow tire as long as the
demand continues, but they will
change with the demand; conse-
quently the fault is with the pur-
chasers. In European countries,
where good roads are the rule and
not the exception as inthis, wide tires
are in general use, as they must be
eventually here il we are to have any
thing like good roads. The light
thin macadam, on a soft, yielding
foundation, which is being laid in
many localities, will not Withstand
heavy loads with common narrow
tire. The Pennsylvania and New
Jersey legislatures have passed acts
encouraging the use of wide tires, but
not being compulsory, the old farm
wagons will probably remain just as
they are until worn out. 1t is a
waste Of money to make good Dads
and then have them ruined by narrow
tires, besides it is cruelty to an ami
NAL to haul heavy loads with narrow
tires over poor roads as well as on
the farm.

Rem arkabIe Span Of Life.

On tombstone in Landau Centre,
N. II :, is the following inscription !:
widow Susanna Brownson was born
August 8. 1899, and died June -,
1902. aged 103 years This is the
record Of life which took in parts of
the 18th and 10Th centuries and the
whole of the 18th century. AS the
average of human life is increasing in
modern days, it Is probable that
some infants now living will continue
to live until the year 1000 A. d.
They would then be not so old as
are number of persons who have
died considerably exceeding CEN
fury within recent years. 1t is likely
also that the number Of centenarians
in proportion to population will be
much greater during the Goth GEN.
fury than it has been in the 10Th.
We frequently hear the span of hui
man life spoken Of as seventy years,
and IL it goes to four score it means
labor, weakness and sorrow. But q
still older record in the Bible makes
one hundred and twenty years the
natural period Of human life. To
that age Moses lived, and we are
told OF him that This eyes were not
dimmod nor his natural force
abated." Many who now die early
from contagious diseases have ma
tural vitality which should insure an
advanced age, and will when medical
science learns how to control these
diseases and make them harmless.

A New Stimulant.

Recent experiments in our army
with the kola nut confirm the state
ments of many travellers and scient-
lists who have studied the kola ques-
tion in Africa and the West Indies,
where this wonderful nut is gener-
ally used.
1t is claimed that kola is more
stimulating than coffee and has no
bad after effects. The natives of
Africa and the West Indies who chew
it are in great demand as laborers, be-
cause they are always in splendid
health, suffer no fatigue, and work
long hours without any food. In
those countries the cocoa chewer is
always rejected for the kola chewer.
Kola contains more caffeine than
coffee itself, good deal of starch
and no tannin. 1t instantly increases
muscular strength and allies hunger
and thirst, besides lessening perspira-
ton in hot weather. The nut is now
cultivated in large quantities in var
ious parts OF the world, and an
American firm expects shortly to put
it on the market in this country.
When it makes its appearance it is
predicted that tea and coffee will
have to go. The recent army ex-
periments in this country were made
by Captain Charles f. Woodruff, at
Port Sheridan, Ill.
