Chimes. Cricket-Fiah,inp.

The most popular and exciting form
of gambling in China is cricket-fight-
ing. At every street corner these little
insects are for sale in tiny cages of
split bamboo. The care of them and
training is quite an elaborate business.
Fish, honey, boiled chestnuts, and rice
form their food, and if they are i'll they
are dosed with all sorts of remedies.
For chill mosquito is administered;
for asthma, bamboo butterflies; for
fever, young shoots of green pea. On
the great day of battle two crickets are
placed on tray with deep rim, and
fight furiously with shrill chirps Of de-
fiance. The Buddhist priests pay large
sums for champion crickets. and hun
dreds of dollars change hands over a
fight. These crickets are often buried
in little silver collins; this is done Sc
cretly by night, for their owners be-
lieve that then the spirits of dead cYick
cts will come back to animate new

MAILS FOR THE YEAR.
Annual Report Of the Postmaster Gem
era1 Made puhY;c

Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith, in his annual report, deyotes more
space 70 the abuses in second-class mail
matter than any other one subject. The
most urgent need of the posta service,
he declares, is the rectihcation of the
enormous wrongs which have grown up
In the perversion and abuse Of the privi-
lege accorded by law to that class of mail
matter This reform was paramount to
all others.
There are. he says, many improve
ments and advances waiting development
and application. there are opportunities
FOR speedier transmission and delivery /.
there are fields for broadening the scope
of the mail service and bringing ii closer
home to the people; there are possibili-
ties of reduced postage; but above and
beyond all of these measures Of progress
which experience and intelligence are
working out, is the redemption of the spe-
eial concession which Congress granted
for q distinct and justihable object from
the fungus growths and the fragrant evils
that have fastened upon it.
For this costly abuse, which drags on
the department and weighs down the SER
vice. trammels its power and means of
effective advancement in every direction,
1t involves waste of S20,000O00 or up
ward year. The postal deficit for the
current year is S6.610,77t;. But for this
wrongful application OF the sacond-class
rate, instead of deficit there would be
a clear surplus of many millions.
Statistics of the different classes oil
matter carried in the past year are quot
cd in the report. from which an estimate
is made that one-half the matter mailed
at second-ciass rates f1T6,3I1 ,613 poundsj
is improperly classified, and should justly
he paid for at third-elass rates. These
figures, says the report, show:
/ l. That more than one-fourth of the
entire volume If weight of matter car
ried through the mails IS rated and pays
as second-class matter, when under the
spirit and intent OF the law ii ought to be
rated and to pay as third-cIass matter
2. That while this wrongly classed mat
ter amounts to more than one-qnarter of
the whole volume Of mail transmitted, ii
furnishes only one fifty-tifth part of the
postal revenue.
:. That the expense of transportation
being reekoned at s cents Il pound, the
mere carrying of this matter costs Sl4,-
1oS,l29, while the revenue from 1t was
only $1,T63,516, involving a loss to the
Government of S12.344,G13.
These statements convey their own
moral the report continues. 1T IS a
gross and manifest wrong that ii particu-
lar aud limited group of private interests,
using the mail solely for their own bust
ness ends, and with no public object, di-
rect or incidental, should first succeed in
eluding the plain purpose of the law. and
should then and thus carry ON their mail
transactions. not at their own expense,
but the expense of others. Ii there is to
be a favored class, let i, embrace all the
people"

ond-class tickets from Boston to San
Francisco are being sold for about SO

from Chicago to San Francisco.
