RAILROADS IN CHINA.
q 1fisstonary's Account OF the DIME
cultles Under Which They
Are Conducted.

As missionary writing from China TO
friend in this city recently described
the difficulties under which the newly
completed railroads are conducted in
that country, says the New York Sun.
Passengers in the first-class coaches,
he said, exhibited so strong a desire
to carry off various articles from the
cars as souvenirs Of their trip that the
coaches were speedily stripped Of those
of the passenger. They took away with
them hat and bundle racks, mirrors,
lamp brackets, hooks, small tables, and
even doors. They were considerate
enough to leave the car frame and
wheels. And the purloiners were gov
ernment officials and people belonging
to the wealthy classes,
The stations along the railroad over
which the writer traVeled were rude
sheds, very unclean and without a
chair or bench. The cars, too, were
very dirty. While this was especially
true of the second-class coaches, which
were oftentimes crowded with half
naked, unwashed people, the frst-class
coaches also became very unclean in
short time. Ifsoon became necessary
70 take out all the upholstery and re-
place, it by plain seats. IT, *
When the railroads were being built
reports were spread that the foreign
contractors were stealing Chinese chill
dren and burying them in the roadbed
so as to propitiate the god who rules
over railroads.. These reports greatly
excited the. people, and in one instance
mob attacked two missionaries near
Picking and would have killed them had
not a detachment of soldiers rescued
them. Under guise of these reports
children were really kidnapped and taken
into the cities for immoral purposes.

.contended that the wearing Of the hir-

other said that more mustaches are
worn now than ever before. The up
shot of the matter was that the first Of

fore three with mustaches should go,

stationed themselves ut the point OF

four to pass were young women and the
@anti-nlustache man grew jubilant. His
jaw fell, however, when the next two
pedestrians, with luxurious growths
upon their lips, hove in sig hit. Then fol-
lowed two more women, and the watch
ers waited expectantly. The ninth

raising q mustache, yet in it's infancy.
A warm argument followed as to the
disposition of this case, but the referee
settled the matter by crediting one-half
r. TO each side, making the score 61s to 2h.
An old woman was approaching in the
distance, and the man who had 2H
points began to lose hope, but when
she arrived opposite the reviewing stand
it was seen that she had more hair
on her lip than her male predecessor.
The referee decided against the fellow
who had proposed the bet.

WHY ONE MAN is BITTER.

His Young sister Bought the violets
to send 70 His Sweetheart.
st. Valentines day is a sad reminder
to young man on I street. a year
ago during the second week Of Febru-
airy he had an attack Of the grip, says
the Washington Post. He wanted to
send q charming young woman some
violets, and was compelled to ask a
very young sister to;buy them for him.
He snappishly refused to tell for what
purpose he wanted the flowers, for he
had grip and his head ached. The young
girl returned with a box neatly wrapped
in paper. The young man slipped his
card in without untying the package,
and bribed his little brother to carry
the offering to the object Of his atten-
TONS. That evening the young sister
visited the sickroom. #}#g, Isl.
.'Did you like the violets?" she asked.
Didn't look at them" Z:
"They were beauties" said the girl.
Il got them at q, special sale. They
were marked down from one dollar to
so cents-great big bunch, too"
"a big bunch of real violets for so
cents great big bunch, too
"a big bunch of real violets for so
cents at this time Of the year!' said
the sick man.
"Real violets!" echoed the sister.
"Real violets! Why, you didn't sayany-
thing about real violets. I thought
they were for mammals bonnet. I
bought artificial violets!" s..s. -
The young man had never attempted
to explain the matter to the young lady
who received the flowers, but if you
talk to him about the natural intelli-
gence of young girls you will find him
