ance workers should consolidate. He went

suits could be accomplished-frst individ-
uality, each one devoting his personal eff

Grafton to the work of God. There was ev-

orderly Crowds.

The Alexandria county sheriff, with his
deputies and constables, made break yes
terday on a crowd of negro gamblers en-
gagged near the tunnel to the west Of the
old causeway. They fired over the heads
of the crowd to disperse them. The shots
had the desired effect. The men started up
with frightened looks and made for the
Aqueduct bridge. They reached it without
molestation and rushed pell-mell across
1t. On the Georgetown side they ran into
the arms Of the District officers. They
were held up and searched, but no conceal
ed weapons or policy paraphernalia being
found upon them they were allowed to
make their escape a clear one. OF late the

GraYodigging Secrets.

81 kin dig grave in three hours,
but mostly 1 take four hours; how
somever, it's n good half days work. ("
The speaker was Tom Doyle, ono OF
tho gravediggers of Bellefontaine.
Something moro than six feet in
height, no has superb physique and
is just entering on tho threshold Of
manhood.
Takes right peart man to dig q
grave quicker than any man who ever
worked Mt Bellefontaine, and Doyle is
proud of the recommendation. Most
men are proud of something. Tho
orator is proud of forensic conquests
and the minister recalls spellbound
audience and gives himself gratula-
tory hug, but Doyle glories in the
fact that he can dig grave and dig it
quickly. Every man has his compile
ment of vanity, and Doyle is not to
be blamed because his takes peculiar
form.
Takes right peart man to dig
grave" said Doyle with the same u.s.
sumption of superiority with which
diplomat might facilitate himself upon
having accomplished On international
compromise.
Tho gravedigger resumed his work,
mopping the sweat from his brow with
the ample folds of his shirt, which
seemed to have been intended for the
particular purpose to which he put it.
Tho sultry atmosphere seemed charged
with Oppressive heat and even the rob-
ms sought tho shade, while the SPUR
rels retired to their holes. Slowly
the shadows of the granite shafts grew
less distinct, and little clouds chased
each other poross the horizon. Even
the bees became lazy and ceased to re-
proach the drones. Nature herself
seemed TO be taking well-earned
rest, bat the gravedigger kept stcadi-
ly ut his work. The sky grew darker;
tho heavens assumed portentous as
pect and little flashes OF lightning
darted across the armament. Sud-
denly loud clap of thunder, seeming
to come from little knoll directly
back of the grave where Doyle was at
work, aroused him to the fact that
there was; going to be n storm. He
cast one quick glance at the sky and
began tosthrow the earth back in the
grave.
81 never buries corpse in water. Z"
he explained, "because he might
ketch his death of cold. He might
turn over his grave if it WAS too wet"
he added; and then preserved
phlegmatic silence until he hal pre-
pared the sepulcher so that it would
not hold water. when no made his sway
to an adjacent summer house. st.

A City Mlthont Woman.

1t is in Mongolia, close to the Dor
'ders of Russian Siberia, and is named
Maiwatchin, and it is the only city in
the world peopled by men only. The
Chinese women are not only forbidden
to enter this territory, but even to
pass the great wall Of Kalkan and en-
ter into Mongolia. All the Chinese
of this border city are exclusively
traders, and they accumulate money
till their trading with Europe through
Siberia hes created sufficient fortune
to enable them to return to their ma
tive cities and live there in ease with
their families AL,
Their dwellings indicate their pros,
perity. They are separated from the
street by clay wall, rather,ugly, it is
true, but i surrounding generally q
very elegant looking house., before
which are .gamboling those sleek-look-
ing, plump cues, with unusually big
eyes, such as are, pretty generally rep
resented on Chinese vases and screens.
The main part of the houses, of.Mai-
watchin is divided into two compart-
ments, and that which is behind is
raised. Fires: arc kept mp under this
great platform, which is covered with
mats that serve as seats by day and
beds Mt night.
Opposite the dooria niche, is gen.
orally seen, where the domestic idols,
unaccustomed to.attitudnize to pro-.
lane eyes, repose behind an ornamen-
tai blind. The walls of tho reception
room are lacquered in red or black.
and sometimes covered with figured
silk, according to the taste aud wealth
OF the owner. The apartment over
looking the court is generally o. light
wood, perforated and carved, and
over these openings colored paper is
stretched, producing something of the
graceful effect of stained glass. The
laoi temples are gorgeous buildings
