change his mind, and in letter to his

much excitement the Alaska gold

Klondike saloon, Klondike restaurant

A Curious Sight.

In Japan the traveller sees many Gu
rious sights. One of the strangest Of
which is the population washing it.
self at the corners of streets toward
evening. In Yeddo the citizens fre-
quent large bathing establishments.
The street doors Of such resorts stand
open, and a striking spectacle, to say
the least, is presented by the inmates
sitting washing themselves with the ut
most unconcern. This is a general Gus
tom, and nothing whatever is thought
of it. Such an apparent want of modes
ty is difficult to comprehend and is not
reconcilable with the advanced state of
civilization Of the japanese. In many
other of the manners and customs do
the Japs offer a striking antagonism TO
those accepted by Us.

They Help One Another.

A singular custom prevails among
the Tartars or Kurds. If man gets in
to difficulties-that is, loses his cattle
or other movable property-he pours a
little brown sugar into a piece of col
ored cloth, ties it up and carries one
such parcel to each of his friends and
acquaintances. In return he is present
ed, according to circumstances, with a
cow or sheep or a sum of money. He is
thus at once set on his legs again. The
same method is adopted when young
man wishes to marry, but is not in a
position to satisfy the parents Of his
intended bride in the matter of the
"bashlyg''-that is, marriage dover.
Only in this case he does not go round
himself, but sends friend or servant.

Wonderful Pumping Engines.

The standard attained by the per
formance of modern pumping engines is
pretty high, as was illustrated by an
incident which occurred not long ago
here in New York, where some large
pumping engines that had recently been
set up and were working at rather high
speed and almost absolutely without
noise were inspected by an expert in
such matters who hailed from an inte-
rior city. He remarked, "Well, those
engines work very nicely now, but wait
until you get to pumping water at that
speed and then you will hear something
from them probably"
His astonishment may perhaps be i'm
agined when it was demonstrated to
him that they were at that moment
pumping water and had been continu-
Ously doing so for As hours. American
Machinist.

Watching Plants Grow.

Procure a little collomia seed. Take
one of the seeds, and with a razor cut
off very tiny slice, place it on a slide,
cover with a glass and place under the
microscope. The instrument must be in
vertical position. When it Is we'll TO-
cused and lighted, moisten it with a
drop of water. The seed will absorb the
moisture and throw out a very large
number of spiral tibers, giving the ap-
pearance of veritable termination. Be-
ginners will find it easier if one applies
the moisture while the other looks
through the instrument. .-Microscopical

CONTRASTS IN NAPLES.
Only a Step From Royal Magnificence to
Crowds of Half Naked Workers.

One Of the strangest contrasts IN Ma
pies is to walk from the royal palace,
with its fine marble staircase, up the
new Corse Re d'Italia and to climb in
to the steep streets around the Church
of San SOverino SOsiO.
These streets are the dwelling places
of the dyers, and one steps from regal
nagnificence into a crowd Of seminaked
people, who are busily dipping great
hanks Of cotton or wool into seething
caldrOns. As elsewhere, the work is car
ried on in the street, and little streams
Of water-red, yellow, brown and black
pour over the rough stones and gath
er in multicolored pools, while on low
benches against the walls women are
washing clothes, standing in the dirty,
sOapy water that splashes over from
their tubs
The passersby walk heedlessly through
the dye and sOapsuds, while the chill
dren find pleasant occupation in throw
ing mud of every variety of color at
anybody who chances to be wearing
light colored garments. 1t is a veritable
feast Of color from the merely spectacu-
lar point of view, but visit to these
streets leaves a bodily as we'll as
mental impression.
Very often in the depths of these sor-
did alleys one comes across a forgotten
old palace, built when carriages were
unknown, its great court of honor
crowded with bOoths its vast halls fill
ed with a heterogeneous collection of
men, women and children, fowls, goats,
sheep and occasionally a donkey, all
living together in the happiest proxim-
ity. The massive old walls are hidden
beneath centuries of dirt; the wood
work has, for the most part, disappear
ed the rooms that once knew the revels
of Angevin mobiles now shelter the hap
hazard existence of lazzaroni.-Lud

Jananese Fireworks.

In Nagasaki, Japan, there is fire
works maker who manufactures pyro-
technic birds of great size that when
exploded sail in a lifelike manner
through the air and perform many
movements exactly like those of living
birds. The secret Of making these won
derful things has been in the possession
of the eldest child of the family of each
generation for more than 400 years.

Strange as it may seem, the origin of
the miter is to be found in Acts ii, 3,
"And there appeared unto them cloven
tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon
each of them" The miter is supposed
to be a representation of these cloven
tongues.

DRINK on Smoking.

Moslems are forbidden TO drink wines
or spirits, but in Tunis they cOntrive to
reach the same ends by smoking prepa-
rations Of hemp flowers. The milder
kind is called kif, and if used in moder-
alton has no more effect than wine, but
the concentrated essence, known as
chira, produces intoxication as quickly
as raw spirits and leads to delirium

FUN IN THE FOOTNOTE.
A Popular Librettist Couldn't withhold q
Joke on Prospective Bride.

Joke on Prospective Bride.
W. S. Gilbert does not retain all of
his humor for use in his librettOs.
In the early days of his success, when
Gilbert and Sullivan werS considered
by managers as the ''sure winners" in
the comic opera field, young woman
who was a member of one of the ''Pina-
fore" companies wrote to Gilbert tell
ing him of her approaching marriage
with young man of good position and
family.
Gilbert congratulated the young wo-
man and expressed the hope that her fu
ture might be prosperous and happy.
Only little more than month pass
ed, and another letter from the same
girl reached him, in which she stated
that her engagement with the young
man had been broken and that she had
accepted another suitor.
He replied that he had every conf
dence in her judgment and again ex-
pressed his hearty wishes for her well
fare.
1t was almost two months after that
shat Gilbert received a third letter from
the same girl, who informed him that
young Lord -- had proposed and that
she had accepted him after breaking
her engagement with No. 2.
Gilbert's humor could no longer
Withstand the temptation, and he wrote,
Il desire TO congratulate you on your
approaching marriage with Here he
placed an asterisk and in a footnote
added:
Here insert the name of the happy
man."
This is probably as characteristic a
piece of humor as any that appears in
his "Bab Ballads or in his works for
the stage.-New York Press.

Mrs. c. II. Buchanan, OF Covington, Va !,
Conference Secretary Of the Woman's Home
Missionary Society of the Baltimore Con-
ference, VI. E. Church, South, writing in the
Baltimore Christian Advocate, has the fol-
lowing to say of her visit to Lexington early
in November
At Lexington there Is noble band Of
women who deserve the highest praise
in their efforts in freeing their beautiful
church from debt and for undertaking to
secure parsonage in keeping with their
church. We have never entered more
ideal home for Methodist preacher, nor
one where the present incumbent seemed
more in harmony with his environment:
Here peacefully dwells this apostle Of love-
gentle, cordial hpspitable, broad hearted in
high favor with royal membership which
is devoted to him and fully approaching the
privilege of listening to the eloquen, OF n
cultivated heart, ripe with the fruitage Of
broad sympathy and scholarly attainment.
The ladies OF Lexington proved their church
oyalty by connectionalizing their local
society to the extent Of eight members and
We are led to hope that with the removal Of
the local pressure, they would readily organ
ize a strong Auxiliary of the Society that
has pledged them its help as long as they
need it. Nowhere can our Church be more
adyantaged than by help in the educa
tional centers Of our country, where our boys
90 from home to school, and come under the
influence of strong denominations. Let Us
build such churches and parsonages at these
places to which they may justly point with
pride az their own.
