STREET ACROBATS IN JAPAN.
Clever Little People Who Do Almost I'M
possible Tricks for Small Pay.

Clever Little People Who Do Almost I'm
possible Tricks for Small Pay.
During a iinrikisha ride along the
streets of any japanese city the tray
eler is almost sure to see q group Of
young street acrobats, quaint little poo
pie grotesquely dressed. Their ages will
range generally between three and
twelve years, and all have been reg
ularly trained.
Their dress consists mainly of loose
trousers, bright-colored jacket and
a peculiar headdress. The trousers
are baggy, made of a strong material
resembling blue and white bed ticking,
and tied at the ankle. The jacket and
shirt are bright and conspicuous.
The front of the headdress repre-
sents the half-opened mouth of a
dragon, while the back is ornamented
with many cocks plumes. From under
the headdress falls a curtain Of thin
red material, thrown carelessly back
over the shoulders, the whole being
securely held on the head by piece OF
red cloth which ties underneath the
chin
These little imps are always laugh
ing, full of fun, ever ready to play
harmless jokes on one another. Some
of their most skillful antics, says
Youths Companion, will be followed
by simply throwing themselves into
ridiculous positions, intended solely to
keep spectators in good humor.
You are startled to see them sudden
ly stand upon their heads, heels in air,
or bend backward until their saucy
little faces will be seen inverted be-
tween their knees. Again, they will
walk on their hands, and quite unex-
pectedly change from their position,
rolling and tumbling over each other,
jumping, kicking or prancing, and
trying in every way to attract the at
tention of the passer-by.
One of them continually beats a
small drum and sings at the top of his
voice, doing his best to add to the din.
Their entire performance is given in
the hope of earning few rin-a small
copper coin, worth less than thetenth
of an American cent.
When foreigner passes the little
acrobats redouble their efforts, for they
know that they stand chance of get
ting silver coin.
These little people have often fol
lowed my jinril1isha for long distance,
continuing their gymnastics, and some
times their persistence becomes trouble
some, always hoping for an additional
coin, and being ever ready to work ffor
it, they carry out the deep-rooted prin-
ciples Of the japanese character-in.

The drinking fountain illustrated in

after it is filed, and a large number Of
fowls can drink at the same time. The
water is always warm, and the lamp

may be made upon the same plan if
preferred. The material above the
hoop is of zinc and will last for years,
the lower portion being of galvanized
iron. The estimated cost of such
large fountain is two dollars. 1t can
also be made for less sum if the heat
is no object. The water will not over
flow if the fountain is level and the
screw cap air tight. When filling it
insert cork in the feed hole and
screw down the screw cap; then with
draw the cork. The feed hole is at the
water line. The fountain may be
round or square. The illustration
shows it cut in half. Water surrounds
the lamp, and, while kept warm, is not

DEBS ON TRIAL AGAIN.
The Strike Leader and His Associates
Arraigned For Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 24.--The trial OF
the Debs conspiracy cases which was
to have begun at 10 O'Clock to- day was
postponed until O'Clock, the prose-
cutive jurymen being dismissed until
that hour.
Debs and his seven associates were
brought from the Woodstock jail and
taken to the United States court room,
where they were formally released on
bail. They did not appear to to be
seriously affected by their contine-
ment. On the contrary, all expressed
themselves as having enjoyed their
Jail life exceedingly. Debs said that
he and the other American Railway
Union officials felt that they had been
performing sacred duty and did not
regret the imprisonment in the least.
When court convened at 2 o'clock
the defendants, with a large number
Of witnesses and veniremen, were
present and the conspiracy trial was
begun. The trial is on the indictment
found against the railroad strikers OF
last summer by the grand jury, which
is known as the omnibus indictment.
There were originally sixty nine per-
sons named in it, but January 4th and

OBJECTS TO THANKSGIVING DAY
A North Carolina Populist Says There
Was Nothing to be Thankful For
in November.

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 23.-In the
lower House of the Legislature to-
day bill introduced by Lindsay, Pop
ulist from Rockingham county, pro-
posed to amend the section of the code
regarding Thanksgiving proclama-
tions SO that it would read:
The Governor is empowered to re-
quest all Christian men and women
whenever he may deem proper to offer
prayer before Almighty God to avert
from the state, the tyrannies and op-
pressions of unequal laws and acts OF
wicked rulers and people, and, more
over, to render thanks to Almighty
God that the conditions are no worse
than they are.
A Democrat offered an amendment
inserting the word "pohticalo before
Hconditionso
Lindsay, in a speech in support OF
his bill, declared that the people were
called ON to give thanks no matter
whether in distress or in prosperity;
that the farmers and mechanics this
year had nothing whatever to be
thankful for, and to do so was unreas-
enable. Lindsay said he had read in
the New York World that on Thanks
giving day there were horse racing,
foot ball games and dancing. He de-
clared that there was no reason for
the proclamation last November. Ii
was drawing together church and
state, and would in time affect the
moral sentiment of the people.
His bill was tabled.

RoARs LIKE A WILD ANIMAL.
The Peculiar Affection OF an Inmate of
Sullivan County's Asylum.

MILAN, Mo-, Jan. 20.--Sullivan coun-
ty now has an insane asylum, situated
about one mile south of this city. Elev-
en- of the incurables from st. Joseph
are now inmates of the institution, and
it is quite a curiosity for the young
people of this city, and large crowds
go out there every Sunday afternoon.
One girl named Madkins has been an
inmate of the So. Josepi, asylum for .
number of years, and was removed
here only few days ago. She is 10
speak a word, and the circumstances
surrounding her are very Interesting.
Sometime before she was born, her
parents visited circus in this city,
and while the keeper was feeding the
wild animals, her mother became
scared at the cage of tigers, and, it is
said, when the child was born 1t acted
very much like a wild animal, and
when the Post Dispatch correspondent
visited the asylum last Sunday the
girl was walking around the room and
roaring like some wild animal. Mr..
Parr, who manages the asylum, says
she is the only inmate that he cannot
conquer. Everything she gets hold of
she swallows, even to taking the
strings out of her shoes and chewing
and swallowing them.

Mexico Ready to Crush the Little Re
public of Guatemala.

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. A.-Guate-
mala's reply to the ultimatum of Pres
ident Diaz, if received to-day has not
been made public. There is no sub
sidence of the war spirit.
A prominent American here has Of
fered to organize an American legion
to fight against Guatemala if war is
declared.
The Government has contracted for
the purchase OF 25,000 rifles of finest
make, and is making full preparations
to crush Barrios IL he does not recede
from his position.
The Mexican army, on a war footing,
numbers 10o, 900 men, all of whom have
received military education based on
European lines. The officers are given
schooling and are required TO pass
an examination fully as difficult as that
at West Point, and the rule of the
seniority is rigidly applied and no fay-
orites played.
The boundary line, about which all
this embrogIio has been stirred up, is
an imaginary hne-there being
neither a range of mountains or a
river TO give expression to it. Along
this line Mexicans and GuatamalaEs
alike have built saw mills and Iumbe,
yarsis-the country being denseiy
wooSied-and the enchroachments oi
these squatters have really caused tie
rumpus.

TO PREVENT COLD FEET.
A Few Precautions to be Taken
Against Winter Evil.

Do you have cold feet7 IL 80, don't
increase the thickness of your stock
ings, but the size of your shoes. The
most important rule to follow to OBJ
tain warm feet is never to be tightly
shod.
Boots or shoes that fit closely pre-
vent the free circulation of the blood
bypressure; but when, on the contrary,
they do not embrace the foot too firm
ly, the space left between the shoe
and the stocking has good supply Of
warm air.
The second rule is never to sit In
damp shoes. 1t is often supposed that
unless shoes are positively wet 1t Ia
unnecessary TO change them while the
feet are at rest. This is great fallacy,
for when the least tiampness is present
in the sole in it's evaporation IL absorbs
the heat from the foot, and thus per-
spiration is dangerously checked. This
can easily be proved by Try ting tho on
pertinent of neglecting the rule. Tho
feet win be found cold and damp after
few minutes, although, on taking of
the shoe and examining It, IL win ap-
pear TO be quite dry.

THE WHOLE GANG GONE.
Steve Elliott Got None OF the Spoils
of the Elliott -McNama Failure and
Is Left in a Bad Shape.

From the Laddonia Herald
There are still a few people who
are ready to say that if Ron McNama
had not been pushed by his creditors
he would have paid every cent he
owed. Be that as it may, there are in
the neighborhood of 10000 in debts
outstanding, .savering a scope of coun-
try reaching from Laddonia over into
Gasconade County that will not be
paid and McNama has left for parts
unknown with the collateral. 1t isre-
ported that Mcintyre ane Bentley,
two of the financial hackers of Elliott
& McNama, have left the country also.
jeff Mourning, another logger for the
firm, mortgaged 100 head of cattle
when he had but so head, secured the
money and left for Idaho when the
crash came and detectives are on his
track. Steve Elliott, who seemed to
be the shadow of McNama In the trad
ing, it would seem, was not consulted
in the dividing up of the spoils. In
fact, he was left In bad shape finan-
cially and is having much trouble with
creditors.
1t is the general opinion that the
smashup was planned to take place
February /, but the banks refused to
honor checks, hence the early windup.
The affair as planned seems to have
been a grand scheme worse than fraud,
yet McNama is said to have done
| nothing to criminate himself. His
wife and children left from Martins
burg for the West one night last week
and no doubt viii be joined in Cali
fornia by her husband.
The assets of the defunct Arm will
probably pay 20 or 800 on the dollar
and the trial of the rights of property
concerning McNama comes up before
Squire Jenkins at Farber next week.
The Evans -Snider- Buell. Commission
Company held mortgage on 800 head
of cattle near Mexico to secure their
81, 900 and will not lose heavily. All
others are bound to be heavy losers.
The affair is to be greatly regretted,
as many of the amounts the people
were deprived of represent last sum-
mer's earnings and in several instances
whole crops of corn. Il is bound to
work hardships on the losers.

!CARLISLE'S POLICY.
A Plan for Circulating an Increased
Volume of Silver Certificates.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2i.-An impor-
tant meeting of the House Appropria-
ton Committee was held to-day, in
which Secretary Carlisle took part at
the request of Chairman Sayers. The
conference was over the adoption of a
policy by which the Secretary hopes to
put into circulation an increased vol
ume of silver certificates of small de-
nominations irA tho piaaa of Treasury
notes. The committee decided to strike
from the sundry civil bill a stipulation
that for several years has been added
to the item of providing for printing
Treasury notes TO replace those re-
ceived at the Treasury. Secretary
Carlisle stated that it was his desire to
get more silver certificates of small de-
nominations into the hands of the peo-
pie, but explained that other notes CO.
cupied the field and crowded them out.
Several members of the committee
led the discussion from the question at
issue into the byways of finance. Once
Representative Sibley, of Pennsyiva-
mia, asked the Secretary what objec-
ton there would be to system OF re-
deeming notes in gold and silver at the
option of the Secretary of the Treasury
instead of the holder.
"If that policy had been inaugurated
at the beginning OF resumption" an
swered the Secretary, sit would have
worked brilliantly and no trouble
would have arisen from it. But my
predecessors have followed the policy
of redeeming in gold or silver at the
option of the holders of paper, and any
Secretary who tried to change this
policy and force silver on men who
wanted gold or rice uersa, particularly
at such critical period as we have
been passing through, would have pre-
cipitated disastrous results.r

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Mexico the Place to Locate this Insti-
tution-Now is the Time to Move
in this Matter.
From the La ddonia Herald. .

We believe the time is ripe for the
separation of the Missouri Agricultural
College from the State University. Al
the farmer organizations in tho -stat<
are in favor of it, and the Herald, too
says amen to the move.
United with the University has made
both the University and the Agricul-
tural College, especially the latter, little
short of a by-word all these years
Divorce would evidently change mat.
ters.
And then, too, the soil of the Agri-
cultural Farm at Columbia does not
represent Missouri soil at all. 1t Ii
little mora than sand and rocks. The
state ought to make it's agricultural
experiments in the ground-not in
rocks and sand, but in good average
soil, that will apply for the whole state
There are other reasons that might
be given for this separation, but the
Legislature is going to be asked tc
delve into matters, and the signs seem
good for the separation.
Now let the Herald drop suggestion
for our county seat and sister city oi
Mexico. You people up there wake
up. The Herald believesif the Agri-
cultural College is to be moved from
Columbia, it could come to no better
average soil nor grander county thar
Audrain.
Besides, our county is out of debt
our taxes are low and our citizens are
progressive and full of push and en-
terprise, and we feel sure that If We
had the Agricultural College in oul
midst it would soon become the great
school that it might be.
Let Mexico pull to have this insti'
tuition located adjoining that city an6
the movement will be backed by every
intelligent agriculturist in the country
