Aon..r KIND Of savage.

When Albert Henry Savage Landor
reached st, Petersburg on his way from
the Forbidden Land. the fact was duly
chronicled, and the London presa asso-
Citations sent cable messages to Austria
liza telling of the hairbreadth escapes
and manifold sufferings. The Melbourne
Times received but short note. which
was this;
"a. Savage Lander arrived in St.
Petersburg today from Tibet after
suffering greatly at the hands of the
natives.
This was meager enough, but the
news editor was equal to the occasion.
The following morning, among the
other matters Of news, the readers Of
The Times found this startling informa
ton
"a savage landor got into st. Peters
burg yesterday, and the people of the
CITY were terrified. After considerable
difficulty the beast. which came from
Tibet, was captured. taken to a re
mote place and there dispatched. It Il
said that this is the first animal of tn,
sort ever seen in Russia. How he reach
ed the city after his fights with the ma
tives of Tibet, which is a comparatively
unknown country, is mystery"

Polish Jehus.

To drive slowly over cobblestones 10
not joy, but to drive four Russian
horses at gallop over cobblestones was
something to make You bite your tongue
andsto break your teeth and to shake
your very soul from its socket I most
solemnly assure you it was anything
but simple drive to one fresh from the
asphalt Of Paris, for. like Jehu. they
drove furiously. Their horses are all
wild, runaway beasts, and they drive
them at an uneven gallop resembling
the gait of our fire engine horses at
home, except that ours go more slowly
Sometimes the horses fall down as
they drive across country, or stop only
for stone walls or meats The carriages
must be built Of iron, for the front
wheels drop few feet into burrow

an unwary American is liable to be
pitched over the coachman's head

Monday Mornings Fire.

About 8 A. N. Monday the slumber Of
the peaceful citizens of Bellows Falls was
disturbed by the rude blasts OF the fire
alarm sounded from box 81 near Towns
Hotel.
The circumstances we're: In the top Of
the Dominique block is man suffering
from typhoid fever. He complained OF
smelling smoke and complained to his at
tendant, D. A. Bugbee. Mr.. Bugbee went
to the room of Frank Massucco and in
formed him that there was trouble. Mr..
Massucco went down stairs and discover.
ing the fire, rang in the alarm and started
for one of the hose carts. Firemen soon
appeared on the scene and the flames we're
quickly extinguished. The fire started in
. small room In the basement used fol
storage and partially filed with boxes Of
tobacco. Mr.. Mas,ucco thinks the fire
was caused by rats and matches; others
have expressed the opinion that it wa,
spontaneous combustion. Massucco was
the only man damaged and he thinks be
lost 5000. There is an insurance of $4,000
on the block but nothing on the stock.

A yok. on tho Jan.

Tho Japanese students at our colleges
find the American sense Of humor as 1t
is expressed by the other students about
them a somewhat peculiar thing, bu,
not at all hard to understand. In fact,
1t Is quite simple and elementary. A
Japanese gentleman who was student
at Harvard not long ago relates that he
was asked by some Of his American fel.
low students to ''teach them some Jap
anese words" He began by giving
them "Good morning" in Japanese.
This phrase Is represented in japanese
by word which In English equivalents
cannot be moro closely represented than
by the word 'sOhio. The boys were
interested and promised to remember II
Next morning, when the japanese
student came to the lecture room, be
found group of the boys gathered tc
give him the morning salutation in
Japanese
"Pennsylvaniai'' shouted one d
them
"Kentuckyl" yelled another
"Virginiar' "New Hampshirsr
'Rhode Island" still others called.
But not one Of them said "Ohiol" Il
was the American idea Of great joke
The young japanese was much edited
and made a note of it.-Boston Tran

Curtis Case Settled.

The Milan II. Curtis suit against the
FItchburg railroad, suit for $4,000
damages, was settled last Saturday, the
road paying, it is understood, about $4,000.
This case had been pending in the county
court for year or more, and was made
special order for Monday. The accident
in which Mr.. Curtis lost his life happened
on July IL, 1897, on the down grade
between East Westmoreland and Keene.
The train, q freight running on special
orders, was being drawn by two engines,
Mr.. Curtis being engineer on the first
engine and Charles Hager engineer on the
second engine 1t is said that the train
was running at good rate of speed; al
any rate Curtis engine left the rails and
the train went some 80 rods before it was
stopped. 1t is understood that Mr.. Hagar
has, or will bring suit against the road
owing to damages be received.
