sented in many of the habits of the
Japanese and Chinese to those of West

the opposite side; their carenters plane
toward the person instead OF from IT.;
the men fly kites and spin tops, while
the boys look on; their books read from
top to bottom, and so on. Perhaps Of all
the odd practices thus INDUCED In, the
cns most easily to be accounted for, is
the practice OF kite-iying by grown up
men.

On last Saturday evening as the
Cumberland accommodation was
pulling out of the station here man
was seen to dart from among the
crowd on the platform and catch at
the hand raid on the ladies coach,
upon which he failed to secure a
good hold. The train was moving
at slow speed but nevertheless he
was drawn under the wheels of the
car which passed over his left foot.
He was picked up by the by-standers
and found to be Peter Monaghan, of
Frankville. He was taken to Vests
hotel but refused to have the foot
amputated and on Sunday morning
hewas sent to his home at Frankville.
Sunday night, however, he started
for Baltimore to have an operati on
performed.
