HUNG IN MIDAIR.
The Perilous Plight of a Soldier in Chi EE nese Thibet.


 EE nese Thibet.
 b,An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob . bers, they would go withshim in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In few hours they came to river, which was crossed by a rope bridge. The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land.

ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.

A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.
 ''The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones,' and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the lsthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo most notable deterioation.' The sum of $9,OoO,oOO has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of a ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost $16,OOO, 1000, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- penditure of $50, 1000, ,0O0 in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of a union of the great lakes and the father of waters.'"

K1eptomania,

To believe French writer, there are
 no fewer than four thousand wornan
 caught every year in stealing during
 their shopping expeditions, habit en. phonlously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining tbe fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred. lble. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian duchess, a French countess an English duchess and the daughter of a reigning sovereign. As d rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of a round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich. the sum extracted rises to as much as ten thousand francs.

A Periodically Humorous Story Told or
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.

Cumberland Mountain Farmer. : A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells pathetically humorous story ot a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying diff ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months When I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. AS I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came cut to the fence.
 "Hello," I exclaimed. "Is this your farm?'
 'Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long," i
 "You must be doing well?"
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 'I'm always glad to help, if I can."
 q knowed that, colonel, and that's why come away over here so fer rum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez Tn doin' ez well ez l am I'm a-goin' to stand hit"
 Are you making any money?
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 'No, I ain't, colonel" he replied, hope fully; "but I'm losin' it slower'n I ever done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

that one inning the Imperlals sent twelve
men to bat, eight OF wnom hit safely, one
of them for two bases ana one for three.
The result was nine runs, which immense
lead effectually dampened the ardor of the
visitors and reduced the game to an unin-
teresting endeavor 30 complete the re-
quired number of innings.
The crowd in attendance was the best of
the season since the opening day. A
trainloao of enthusiasts accompanied the
Mill City men and pulled hard for their
favorites, but to no avail. After the fatal
second inning one OF them remarked -

trick on the Imperials. They are trying
to tire them out by running them around
the bases. Later on they II beat them. =
Then the speaker picked a quarrel with
himself and subsidized
The enlivening features of the third and
succeeding innings were Nick Smiths ap-
parent effort to lose the ball when throw
ing from second to home and the en-
deavors of the Imperals TO disable the
visiting catcher. They evidently did not
find the Stockton pace hot enouph for them
and sought TO warm him up. They sue
ceeded in spiking hinl-hItting him with
pitched ball and injuring two OF his
thumbs, and besides the umpire called
him out on every close decision. IL was
certainly not his lucky day.
Kelly had excellent control of the ball
and allowed his opponents bur six hits.

MERGED, CAL, Oct. 8.-Com pany II,
Sixth Infantry, attended the celebration
of the arrival of the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad into Fresno last Monday at the
invitation of the citizens committee
of that place. The company went
down about forty strong, leaving
Merced at IL o'clock. The train was
somewhat delayed and did not arrive
in Fresno until after o'clock. The COM
pany was lined up in the sun, where they
had to stand for quite awhile until the
barbecue was ready. After the meal was
finished they were again compelled to
stand in the broiling sun for some time
They were finally marched to the armory
and dismissed, with orders to fall in in
about half an hour for a review and dress
parade before the Governor. The train re-
turned at P. NJ. The Fresno Guardsmen
treated the boys in their usual hospitable
manner but the experience of the day
was the same old story that is enacted
every time the troops are invited away
for parade duty. The committee had
made no arrangements for the comfort of
the men whatever The Merced company

this fact is for the boys to decline all in
vitations that are not accompanied by a
guarantee that some consideration will be
given to the comfort and enjoyment OF
the soldier. The officers and the men of

Two interesting if not overdose cricket
matches were played yesterday. One was
between the Bohemian and Alameda teams
at Golden Gate and resulted in defeat for
the champions of the year. the Bohemians,
by 49 runs.
Going first to bat. the Alamedas topped
the two-century mark by. 10 runs. The
innings of young Ward, who put up a
meritorious SO, and OF the ever-reliabe
Teddy Hood, were the features of the in
nings.
The innings being called at the fall of
the ninth wicket, Bowhill and Sheath
opened for the Bohemians. The latter and
Moriarty. who followed, both scored rap
idly. Then Robertson went in and en-
deavored, by keeping the bowling, to play
out time and make draw. He scored 20
not out himself, and so nearly accom-
plished his purpose that when the last
wicket fell there lacked just two minutes
of call time; hence the above result. There
were two gallery catches, one by SIoman,
the other by Peel. The latter, drive re-
turn of Moriarty's, severely injured the
catcher and may incapacItate him for the
Australian match on Wednesday. The
