THEY DID NOT KNOW HIM.

Or They Would Not Have Asked Him
to Set the Pace.
From the New York Tribune.
A couple of New York cyclists had pc
culiar adventure in the land Of mosquitoes,
otherwise New Jersey.
The day was fair, the roads good and the
first half WIS covered in time well inside
the proper figures. Before they had COW

Then the trouble began, for the PAGER
turned with a smile and inquired, How
fast do You want it?"
Two minutes If you can." was the reply.
The demand was apparently taken in
earnest, for the leader quickly opened up
a gap which they were unable to fill. They
bent further over their handle bars, while
the perspiration started in streams, but all
to no avail.
Not many miles further on they stopped
at a "wheelman's retreat" and one Of them
fell into conversation with the proprietor.

HOW THEY DIFFER.

Man . Creature of Habits, Woman
Uttlfses Anything That IL Handy.
From Lippincotts Magazine.
Man is a creature Of cast-iron habits;
woman adapts herself to circumstances;
this is the foundation of the moral differ.
erce between them
A man does not attempt to drive a nail
unless he has a hammer; a woman does
not hesitate to utilize anything, from the
heel Of boot to the back of a brush.
A man considers a corkscrew absolutely
necessary to open bottle: woman at
tempts to extract the cork with the scis-
sors: II she does not succeed readily she
pushes the cork in the bottle. since the es-
sential thing Is to get at the fluid.
Shaving is the only use to which a man
puts razor; woman employs it for a
cbiropodists purpose.

the paper on an old atlas, crosses her feet,
balances herself on her chair. and confides
her thoughts to paper, changing from PEN
Gil to pen and vice versa from time to time,
nor does she care If the children romp or
the cook comes to speak to her.
A man storms If the blotting-paper is
not conveniently near; a woman dries the
Ink by blowing on it. waving the paper in
the air, or holding 1t near lamp or fire.
A man drops letter unhesitatingly in
the box; a woman rereads the address, as
sures herself that the envelope is sealed,
the stamp secure, and then throws 1t vto-
lently into the box
A man can cut a book only with n paper
cutter; a woman deity inserts a hairpin
and the book is cut.

conversation and the moment of his de-
parture; for woman it is the beginning of
a new chapter, for it Is just when they are
taking leave of each other that women
think Of the most important topics OF con-
versation.
A woman ransacks her brain trying to
mend broken object; man puts it aside
and forgets that for which there Is no REM

WHAT CHINA LACKS,

W. f. Curtis In the Chicago Record.
There are no schools in China except to
educate men for office.
There Is no postal system except that con-

diction between the treaty ports.
There is no currency except brass coin

There is telegraph line erected by for

costs "a cents a word to send a message
from Pekin to Tien Tsin, a distance Of
eighty miles, which is nearly twice as much
as the charge between New York and Lon

There are two railroads in the empire.
both intended to connect coal mines with
navigable water, but only one carries pas

miles long, but 1T was purchased and re-
moved by the government because the rails
interfered with the free movements of the
spirits of the dead.
There is not stage line in China.
You cannot hire a carriage in Pekfn, a
city of more than a million and half pop

There Is bar at the mouth of every
Chinese river, but the government will not
permit them to be removed because they
are "heaven-sent barriers" to keep out
foreign men-of-war.
To command ship a man must pass an
examination on the maXlms of Confucfus

not necessary for him to know anything
about geography or navigation.
To command an army ono must be able to

it is not necessary for him to have any

HANDICAPPED ny sLEEp1NEss.

A Kansas Statesman Whose Love of
Sleep Checked His Rise in Politics.
From the Topeka State Journal.
Last evening people passing s. Barnum's
store on the west side Of Kansas avenue,
noticed a large man sleeping soundly in a
large covered spring Wagon near the street
curb. He was stretched across the seat,
and. while his position was not comfort
able one. the man dt pot care. His broad
chest rose and fell al gsEular periods. which
indicated deep slufaber.< Occasionally q
whirring noise like the suppressed grunt Of
a pig escaped the sleeper 1t was a snore,
but not the misunderstanding kind.
A close inspection would have revealed
the chubby face Of a man well advanced In
thick growth of short gray hair. and mis-
head with an s0ld SLOUGH hat. Then the OBJ
server would have been startled to find a
strong resemblance to man who was
wen known in public life in Kansas not
long ago. The man looked like ex-Con-
gresham Ben Glover, and in truth it was
he.
Ex-Congressman Clover now drives the
reform school wagon. and may be seen on
the streets of Topeka every day. He got
the place reward for political services
rendered in the last campaign. He doesn'
know anything about training boys. but
Governor Morrills business administration
gave him job.
When Mr. Glover was in Congress he
contracted the sleeping habit, and 1t made
him famous. When an important measure
was being considered he was wont to steal
out into the anteroom and stretch his portly
form on the luxurious cushions Of gov
eminent sofa, and while his colleagues
wrestled with some intricate question at
fecting their constituency. Congressman
Glover of Kansas slept, and, it Is said.
snored, not softly or gently. but loud
enough to be heard in the adjoining legis-
lative hall.
Then Mr.. Clovers constituency got angry
and elected some one else. and since then
he has been compelled to take his maps in
less convenient places. Other people have
contracted habits in Congress, but 1t re-
manned for Congressman Glover to make q
departure ard become like Dickens fat boy,
confirmed sleeper.

A Horse With q Memory.


From the Portland Press.
Eleven years ago a horse was purchased
for the fire engine Portland, No. 2, on
Munjoy Hill. This horse was called "Old
Tom.' and 1t helped draw the engine for
six years and was then disposed of. 1t
has been drawing an ash cart of late years,
and the other day went by the engine
house. Engineer Loring, who knew the
horse well. since they came to that engine
house in the same year and were there
together for six years, fell into converse
ton with the driver. and told him that he
hadn't doubt that II the old horse was
put in his old stall and the gong was
sounded he would rush for his place in
front of the engine just as he used to do.
The driver doubted this, and they agreed
to try it. The old horse. low fifteen years
old, was put in his old stall, where he
hadn't been for five years. At the first
sound Of the gong he started for his old
place under the harness in front of the en-
CINE. He tried to go quickly. but made a
sorry exhibition of nimbleness compared
to his former habit. This seems to be
pretty good evidence Of a horses memory.

ten Of his men, rushed up and shot the
rebel through the head and rescued the
body.
At the time Col. Baker was shot he was

from the woods, and who being shot at by
one Of the federal soldiers, returned to
the woods and appeared to be falling from

then for the first time came out of the
woods, at double-quick, and. receiving a
double charge Of grape shot from the
twelve-pounder, broke in disorder and re-
turned to the woods. There were but few
of the federal forces now on the field, they
having returned to the river side down the
steep, but finding no means of escape some

volley. the enemy at this time occupying
the field. 1t was getting dark, and some
one tied white handkerchief to a sword
and went forward Many men were taken
prisoners at the moment, some fled into the
woods and many ran down to the crossing.
The body Of Col. Baker was taken on the
fiat boat. at this time partly filed with
water, and together with a number of the
dead and wounded, safely reached the Is
land. Throwing away their arms the men
swan the river, the enemy firing upon them
from the heights. The boat returning to
the Virginia side was overcrowded and
many drowned at that time.
During the engagement the Union forces
to the number of 5000, with many pieces
or artillery, were in plain view on the
Maryland side, but having no means Of
transportation were of no service Col
Baker and all the officers were or foot

In the engagement at Balls Bluff there

Gen. Stone, and of this number 921 were

The confederate forces were in command

entire force was engaged in the battle
seemed to be under the impression that the
attacking force numbered at least 5000,
Gen. Evans claimed that his entire loss in
the engagement, which lasted thirteen
hours, was but 1856, and asserted that the
federal loss, which is not stated in the Of

commander, was 1900 killed. wounded and
