Hotels In England.

The American idea has taken root
abroad, and is growing fast. Not only are
the few old big hotels prospecting as never
before in London and Paris, but bigger
and more expensive ones, commonly called
palaces, have been built, and more are
building. Since they can no longer be
considered as exclusively American in idea
and patronage, foreigners have generally
ceased to deride them, and now use them
freely-even the English person of insignifi-
cant title whose fad not long ago was Sc
clusion. People of this kind may not dine
i'm the public room even now, but the fact
remains that they prefer the big hotel to
the little one. A few years ago one fire.
quent criticism of our hotels was that the
guests lost their identity and were known
only as numbers. This seemed especially
repugnant to the foreign mind But now
all nationalitios flock to the large caravan
saries in Europe and are happy, although
they naturally are numbered and handled
like so many bundles of merchandise &C
cording to fixed rulcs.-Lcwis Morris lid

JAPAN OF THE MIDDLE AGES.
Marco Polo's Account OF His Travels In
the Mikado's Domains.

In the "True Story of Marco Polo,"
which Noah Brooks tells i'm st. Nicholas,
he thus quotes the great travellers account
of his visit to Japan, or Chipangu. He
says:
Chipangu is an island toward the cast
in the high seas, 1900 miles distant from
the contipent, and very great island it is
The people are white, civilized and well
favored They are idolaters and are de-
pendent on nobody. And l can tell you
the quantity of gold they have Is endless,
for they find it in their own islands, and
the king does not allow il to be exported
Moreover, few merchants visit this coun-
try because ii Is so far from the mainland,
and thus it comes to pass that their gold
is abundant beyond all measure.
will tell you a wonderful thing about
the palace of the lord of that island You
must know that he hath great palace,
which is entirely rooted with fine gold,
just as our churches are rooted with lead,
insomuch that it would scarcely be posi-
BILE to estimate its value. Moreover, all the
pavement of the palace and the floors of
the chambers are entirely of gold in
plates, like slabs of stone, good two fin
gers thick, and the windows also are of
gold, so that altogether the richness of
this palace Is past all bounds and all be-
lief. They have also pearls in abundance,
which are of a rose color, but fine, big and
round and quite as valuable as the white
ones In this island some of the dead are
buried and others are burned When a
body is burned, they put one of these pearls
in the mouth, for such is their custom.
They have also quantities of other precious
stones
Kublai, the grand khan who now reign
eth, having heard much of the immense
wealth that was in this island, formed a
plan to get possession of it, For this pur-
pose he sent two of his barons with a great
navy and great force of horse and foot.
These barons were able and valiant men
one of them called Abacan and the other
Vonsainchin-and they weighed with all
their company from the ports of layton
and Kinsay and put out to sea.
They sailed until they reached the island
aforesaid, and there they landed and occu
pied the open country and the villages, but
did not succeed in getting possession of
any city or castle And so disaster befell
them.

COLLEGE RESURRECTION.
History OF a Cincinnati Medical Colleges
Gold JOinted Skeleton.


A matriculate at a certain Cincinnati
medical college is introduced to the mu-
scum by committee of students before he
Is allowed to visit the rest Of the institu-
ton. This museum is probably the most
wonderful of its kind in existence, and
contains among other things of more or
less interest the gold jointed skeleton of a
man seated on chair with pipe between
his teeth, looking down into freshly dug
grave.
There is an interesting story connected
with this old mans bones, and they are
deeply reverenced by the college faculty.
A good many years ago there was in the
employ of the college a resurrectionist,
nicknamed "Skel'' by the students, whose
business it was to supply the college with
dissecting material sufficient for the pur-
suance of the study of anatomy by the stu
dents. "Skel' had in consequence quite
an unenviable reputation as grave rob-
Der and was held in great fear by the me-
groes and ignorant country people. He
was well liked by both faculty and stu
dents, however, as he always contrived in
one manner or another to keep the stu
dents well supplied with "stiffs" during
the dissecting season, and grew from IA
young into an old man, and finally died
In the service of the college.
But before he shook off this mortal coil
he willed that when he died his body
should be dissected by the students of the
college he had served so long and faithful
ly. His remains were finally disposed of
according to his wish, and at a meeting of
the faculty it was decided to honor his
bones by mounting them in gold joints
and placing them in the museum of the
college, with his old corncob pipe between
his teeth, sitting on "a chair, his head bent
down and resting on the handle of spade,
gazing intently at a freshly dug grave with
the newly upturned earth on the side,
which the students each year decorated
with beautiful floral piece emblematic
of the occasion. st. Louis Republic
