CONSTITUTIONS FIGURE-HEAD
Harpel's Weekly


In 1884 Captain Elliot, who had been Sec
ond in command al Lake Erie under oliver
Perry, excited violent political and par isan
demonstration by decorating, at the Boston
Navy-yard, the bow of the Constitution with
figure-head of President Jackson. One
stormy night his excellency was deca pitated
as neatly and deftlY as if the best tools had
with patient labor enlisted the brightest sun
shine in the decoration. Marines and blue
jackets were held under dark suspicion, and
the country seethed in a ferment of keen con-
tenuon. Rewards were offered, but in vain,
and for years the secret was well kept. 1t Is
now said that seaman named Dewey was the
Gu pr1I, not for any political motive, but be-
cause of a cherished antipathy TO the iulI-
length image OF a landlu bber at the bow
while three fne old sailors were compelled i,
with inadequate busts, TO smile grmly a the

THEATER SICKNESS.

'Theater s. lckness" is the name OF the new
disease recently discovered by the eminent
French physician, DR.. Morticole, when is al
present topic of good deal OF discussion in
scientific ana lay circles in Paris. The doctor
declares that "theater sickness and seasick-
ness resemble one another, take their victim
en- tirely unawaTes, and prey especially on
women. The symptoms consist of g;ddiness,
loss OF consciousness, deep faint, ana in pei
verse cases the malady causes death. 1t seizes

1t is a remarkable fact, but little known to

The strange puzzle that faces those no have

China is not country in which one would
naturally expect foo ball to be popular, but
the game has at last been introd uced among
which is said 10 be the strangest football ciub
in the world. The men who form the team are
natives OF Northern China, and are typical of
the remarkab BILE race OF giants produced in
that part of the world.
There Is not man among them who is not
six feet high, ana several of the members ere
three inch S taller. while their average weight
is about 200 pounds. The appearance of this
team OF gian,s on an English football field
would probably modify the puck OF some OF
our stanch professionals. aud there would be
little inclination 10 speculate on the result. A
.ub with a collective weight of 1000 pounds
should carry everything fore Ii.

quently shriektng with delight. Their wells
OF triumph, which reSound through the air
whenever the ball goes through the opposite
goal, are likened by one VINO has heard them,
TO the plalntive cry OF pig that mas been
with the head.
The only precaution taken by these giants
in regard to their physical strength on the
football field is Tor the preservation of their
pigtails, which are cared Tor as though they
were worth thousand times their weight il
gold. With this exception they throw caution
10 the winds and devote themselves with all
their strength to the play. Any game where
bTu e strength Is required they would excel in.
The great drawback to Chinese football is
want OF discipline Every man considers IL
Els duty TO instruct his colleague what TO do,
and one hall the team yells TO the other half
all the time the game Is in progress.
An attempt has been made to bring about q
foreign tour OF these Chinese footbailers, but
has not yet been success full. In the event of
such tour the team will take with them their
own doctors and cooks.

Gently illustrated in a case before a United

witnesses could speak English, so the services
of an interpr eter were secured. Every time a
date was men toned the Interpreter would
consult long sheet OF paper, on which were
many figures and Chinese symbols. This
aroused the curiosity OF one OF The attorneys
