NEW JAPANESE CRUISER.
The Kasagi, Built by the Cramps, Turned
Over to the Japanese Govern
ment at philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Oct. 25.-Japan's fine
new cruiser, the Kasagi, was turned
over by the Cramps yesterday to the
Japanese government, as represented
by Commander n. kashievabra, and
she at once went into commission and
ran up the japanese flag. During the
naval review the Kasagi will fly the
Stars and Stripes, with her W en-
sign, as a special courtesy to Secre-
tary Long and officers of our navy.
She can not, however, fire Il salute to
Secretary Long, as her guns are at the

THE LITTLE FAIR HEAD.

A low, veather-browned cot
Down a rough, stony lane
Coarse and dusty the weeds round It
spread;
What could brighten his lot
Who dwelt here?-at the pane
Then l noticed a little fair head!
Twas like sunshine through rainI
The sweet eyes. the soft hair
A radiance shed DER the spot.
Broken sash and cracked pane
Held a picture so fair,
The worn, battered frame 1 forgot.
As fingered, it CHANGED
A man. grimy and brown,
Turned a slow, weary step down the lane.
Then how merrily danced
The fair head, up and down,
Such a gay little head at the pane!
He may not understand,
This dull man, that it's said
No sweet joys are to poverty sent,
For he waved a rough hand
When he saw the dear head,
Then he hurried, and smiled as he went
Hung with c~ostliest lace,
Are broad windows of plate,
By a child's dimp.ed cheek never prest.
Empty grandeur, give place
To the poor mans estate,
The cracked pane. by a little head blest.

pretense to religion and had no regard
for morality. On one occasion john
one of the sons. was bitten by a rattle

to his father Immediately. The old
gentleman became alarmed and, think

soon be dead. SEM hastily for the par
son. who. being affected even more with
surprise than qualification, bent every
energy to comply with the call. BE

explaining the misfortune of his son
exhorted him to pray for the afflicted
n Immediately, the parson lost nc
time. and soon the entire family were
bent in prayer. After praying long
ferventlv and earnestly for the speedy
recovery of John. the parson concluded
somewhat in this wise: Now, Lord

One of the big frontier siX-shoot-
ers used by the rough riders at the
charge of San Juan Hill attracts a
good deal of attention in the window
of an uptown store. 1t is a type OF
weapon almost peculiar to the west
single action, 45-caliber, with a bar
rel eight inches long and a wooden
handle. The real cowboy and veteran
miner will carry nothing else. Both
despise a double-action or s~eE-cocking
Distol. and in the low country 1t
is a common thing for ranchmen to
take out the triggers of their six
shooters and fire them by manipulate
irg the hammer with the thumb. To
SCI an expert do this is to witness a
patty piece of juggling. Another Cd
fitv of frontier revolver etiquette is
in the way the weapon is carried.
Many cowboys sling it in a holster on
the right hip. with the handle point
ing outward. It is drawn with a Curl
IL circular sweep. and comes up
cooked and ready for business. More
than one "tenderfoot" has bored a
hole through himself in attempting to
acquire this particular bit of ieger-

WASP AS AN ENGINEER.
An Exhibition of Insect Cleverness
That Won Praise from a Sur
veying Corps.

Several members of the Unlteu
States engineer corps were interested
witnesses of a feat of insect engineer
ing near the road on which they were
working. One of their number found
a blue ground wasp dragging along
the ground 4 dead swamp spider one
quarter the size of Ii full-grown taran-
tuia. Whether the wasp killed the
spider or foundit dead is n question be-
yond solution. He was having a hard
time dragging his prey along. and pres
entity left it to go prospecting for his
abode. The discoverer of the wasp
called his companions, and one OF them
in coming stepped upon the wasp's
groundhole, crushing down some
blades of dry grass across it. This
caused no little trouble to the insect,
who, upon locating the hole, nipped
away at the obstructing stalks with
his strong mandibles unit! he had
cleared a passage. Then he went back
and sized up the spider, walking around
the big body and surveying it from all
sides.
Hes reckoning that the hole isn't
big enough" said n of the engineers.
That's all right; he'll fix it," said
another. as the insect went back u
commenced vigorously widening the
entrance to his domicile.
Again he returned to the spider,
seized it and dragged it within a foot
of the orifice. To the spectators 1t was
evident that more work would have to
be done before the spider could be
dragged in. This struck the wasp, too,
for again he ran around the body, ex-
aiming it carefully, and returned to
the hole to take measurements. He
went to digging a second time. Hav-
irg dug for two minutes he brought
his prey to the edge of the hole, nipped
out a piece of dirt here, cut away a
grass stem there, and after IS minutes
of hard and skillful labor disappeared
underground, dragging the spider
after him. doubtless to form the
piece de resistance in a winter store
house. The engineers then resumed
their work, exchanging comments
of admiration.-Chicago Inter Ocean

"Packins on of Widows"

A pastime which obtains among the
farm class of Corea, known as the
packing off of Widows" consists of
a raid by some disconsolate widower
and his friends in some village known
to contain a young widow, the forci-
BILE abduction of the lady in question
and her marriage to the widower. An
instance of this kind has recently
come to our notice. \ widower living
in one of the villages of kankwha,
with II friends, went to a hamlet close
to the walls of Kangwha City, where
a widow lived, and seized and carried
eff. after somewhat of a battle, a
young lady. 1t so happened. however,
that they had mistaken the house,
and unfortunately got hold of the
wrong lady. Early the next morning
an indignant posse came in pursuit,
but the men who had committed the
dastardly deed succeeded in eluding
them. The young lady. however, was
rescued, and after the house Of the
widower and its contents had been
completely demolished she was escort-
ed home in triumph by her husband
and his friends.-Kobe Chronicle.

A Washington correspondence of the Phila-

at some models in the National Museum Of
curious cars used in the early days Of rail
reading in this country, when Mr. Watkins,
the curator, pointed out one particular one
that had a mast and sail Experiments with
such cars were made on the Baltimore 4

1t was then a serious question whether the
motive power on railroads would be sail,
