NOT HEAVY TO HIM.

nothing to the elephant. The big beast
doesn't mind him any more than one
of those immense dray horses you see
in London minds the brass ornaments
on his harness. Yet on my back or
yours the man would be a load; and,
IL fastened to a lark's wings, the. little
brasses would hold him to the earth.
Thus, we are reminded, my thought
full friends, that there are no absolute
facts. The burden depends on the
back. Albeit Samson walked off with
the gates of GAIA, an ordinary garden

we should want to lug. 1t follows thai
weight or heaviness can, as the ad-
vertisements say, "be supplied in a
variety of styles"
When, for example. Mr.. Sydney Chal-
LANCER mentions in letter that at a
certain period he was heavy" he does
not mean that he tipped the scales at
a stone or two more than usual. His
horse would have felt that, in case he
rode one; but the truth Is that at the
time referred to he was actually under
his proper weight by several pounds.
He wants us to understand that
he was henry 10 himself; 1t was not an
increase Of reight but an increase Of
readiness, having practically the same
result. His explanation Is that in the
early part of 1890 he began to feel Ill
and out OF sorts. He went about in a
may way, feeling badly without know
ing what the trouble was or how to ac-
count for 1t.

al or good, and he took just enough TO

No, nothing lodged anywhere. What
there was of it went straight down into
Mr.. Challenger's stomach, where it at
once began to ferment and produce a
gas which caused the feeling OF full

the pain. 1t was not too much food,

The following account of the actual
court proceedings, published in the
English department Of the YOrodzu
Choro, Japanese vernacular paper
published in Tokyo, will be of interest
in connection with the above and as
a specimen Of quaint English:
The first japanese court, which Is
to pass judgment upon a foreigner,
was opened on Monday last at the Yo-
kohama Chino Saibansho. The case
treated was the Miller triple murder
affair. Among both natives and for
eigners the case aroused great inter-
est, on account OF the horrible nature
OF the crime, and the Importance Of the
case, which may be taken as a typical
one illustrative OF the method Of Jap
anese criminal procedure. A great
number of eager people fiocked to the
law court in order to see the trial
Many waited in front OF the gate from
very early hours In the morning, and
by the time the room. In which the
trial was conducted, was opened the
number of people who were anxious Ia
gain admittance swelled to several
hundreds. Only about seventy. how
ever, were allowed to enter, besides
some thirty newspaper reporters and
dozen foreigners. The room wal

Thinks With His Lungs.

Senator Pettigrew of South

and from it he has evolved what
he regards as exactly the correct
policy for this government to fol
low in dealing with those islands.
He is not at all satisfied with the
way things have been going out
there; he hasn't been consulted as
to the course that should be taken,
and for that rea, OH, perhaps, the
authorities of Washington have
been Flooding along in a manner
which he can not approve. At
last, however, he is impcllcd to
speak out and tell the Government
how to manage things, and his
plan is briefly as follows;
This government should recall
every soldier in the Philippines
Immediately, apologize to the
world for the error we have made,
and turn the islands over to a

to Spain, with an indemnity for
the loss she has suffered by Ameri-

be placed again under the royal

The movement looking toward
the development of our Pacific
trade with the Orient is wide
spread. To this end railroad mag
mates are seeking connecting lines
and shortened routes to the Pacific
seaports; to this end new steam
ship lines are to be constructed aud
haIbors improved and shipping
facilities Increased, and the benefits
ate to be general and permanent.
Secretary Wilson said, after his
recent visit in the West: AT al,
Pacific seaports the docks are piled
with goods waiting shipment to the
Orient, and we have not ships
enough to carry them. Que cargo
contained lumber, wheat aud flour
from Washington, butter aud eggs
from Iowa and Michigan, fruit
from California and other Pacific
States, steel from Alabama, cotton
goods from the Carolinas. bicycles
from Chicago, notions from New
England, aud something more from
more than half the States in the
Union" Every industry in the
United States has already felt III,
