Mice ax Food in China,

The first thing which strikes the
traveller in China, upon his entrance
into any of the many cities of the
celestial empire; is the strings of
dried mice which hang from the roofs
of the houses suspended by their tails,
just as sausages are hung in front of
butcher shops in France. The Chinese
hunt these mice with long sharp
pointed knife, which they plunge into
the animals throats. Then the mice
are suspended by the tails until the
blood has dripped out, when they are
skinned, drawn and smoked. Another
favorite dish with the Chinese is dogs
feet. The feet of black dogs are con-
sidered more of a delicacy than those
of any other color, and white dogs are
rejected as being tasteless. Dogs
fat, prepared in a special manner, is
looked upon as repast fit for king.

the drum major of the whole outfit.
He carries no burden save great re-
sponsibility and clear-sounding bell.
All mules destined to serve her ma jesty
are trained to follow the bell horse. A
white animal is nearly invariably Sc
lected, as for some reason or other
mules follow this color most faithfully.
Pack mules become very much at
tached to the bell horse of their train
and refuse to move either forward or
backward if he is not leading. For this
reason the greatest calamity that can
befall an army is the death of the bell
horse. On one occasion of the Indian
frontier wars the whole mule train
came to sudden standstill owing to
the death of the bell horse. Nor would
anything induce the animals to move
till one of the officers substituted an
other white horse in the dead ones
place. On seeing, as they thought, their
old favorite in his place once more all
the mules moved forward to greet him,
and only by driving the fraudulent bell
horse forward quicker than the mules
could follow was the deception kept up.

MEDAL OF HONOR.
Decoration of Congress n

The medal of honor granted by con-
gress for some conspicuous act of gal
lantry is so rare that hundreds of off,
GERS have never even seen it, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The bow knot worn in the button
hole in lieu of the medal goes unrec-
ognized, except by the very few. The
medal is of black bronze, and is often
mistaken for the grand army insignia,
the latter having been patterned after
it to certain degree. 1t is much larger
than the latter, and on the reverse side
is engraved the name, rank, date and
the battle in which the service was rem
dered, and the specific act of heroism
for which it was given. The medal is
only worn on state occasions, but the
bow knot is always worn. 1t is small
affair, with its specific ribbon. 1t is

II noticed in the paper the other
day." observed an old railway postal
clerk, according to the Sioux City
Journal, "the story of how the cap
tain of the little gasoline boat that
left here for up the Missouri had to
come back overland for 40 miles for
a repair that cost him only, ten cents,
but which was just as necessary as
it it cost the price of the whole en-
gine. I recalled to my mind an ex-
perience I once had on the run be-
tween here and Missouri Valley, on
the Sioux City & Pacific, illustrating
how much may hang upon something
ordinarily quite insignificant. Be-
tween Whiting and Onawa one night
gust of wind blew out every lamp
in the mail car, which, of course,
made it impossible for me to work,
and I had considerable to do yet to
tie up Onawa's mail. I put my hand

in my pocket to get match, but
couldn't find any. Something had to
be done quickly, and all there was
left for me to do was to pull the bell
cord and signal the engine to stop.
The conductor, brakeman and some
of the passengers came running to
the head of the train to learn what
was the matter. The darkness in my
car suggested that perhaps there had
been hold-up and robbery of the
mail; but when I called to the con-
ductor to give me a match, it relieved
his anxiety, but it did not entirely re-
store his good humor. lit my lamps

QUEER DEATH or 4 WILDCAT.
Interesting Sport Chasing the Fierce
Fighters in One Of Califor.
MAS Valleys.

A wildcat lately came to it's death
in most unusual manner at La Can
ada, q valley in the mountains a short
distance from Pasadena, Cal. The ami
NAL was being pursued by a blood
hound and had taken to a tree. In
jumping from one tree to another the
cat missed it's footing and fell. It's
head slipped into crotch made by a
couple of branches and it's neck be-
came firmly wedged. AS it was strug-
Cling to extricate itself the cat became
more tightly fixed, and was choked to
death.
Wildcats are plentiful in that section
of the country, and afford much sport
to the hunters about here, who fol-
low them with hounds. La Canada is
sl<irted> on one side by a deep canyon,
or arroyo, tumbled full of powders
and thick with underbrush and small
oak trees. This arroyo is the favorite
haunt of the wildcat and lynx.
The hunting party arrives on the
ground at an early hour with pack of
hounds. Foxhounds are generally used
for. the purpose, but greyhounds are
sometimes sent after the>game. A day
is selected for the hunt as soon after
a rain as is possible, for at that time
the scent is followed more easily.
One of the older hounds is slipped,
and it is seldom long before he has
found a trail and is in full bay. All
of the hounds are at once liberated,
and away they go, over rocks and
powders, under bushes, up banks and
down bluffs. The hound runs entirely
by scent, and sometimes will not see
the cat when there is only a few feet
between them.
The wildcat is not good runner, and
inevitably seeks refuge either in tree
or between the powders. If it can find
convenient gap among the piled rock S
where it can slip in it's chances to escape
are fair, for there it can stand at bay
and meet the enemy, who must ap-
proach from only one side. But if
there is no crevice at hand, and the
frightened beast goes into a tree, all
is lost, for the hunters can dislodge
it with long poles, and the dogs are
then able to attack it from all sides
and soon pull it to pieces. The hunters
are obliged to follow on foot, for the
country is far too rough to admit of
riding.
The wildcat is a fierce fighter, and
individually is a match for any but the
best dog. It will not fight, however,
unless brought to bay.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

which, they were told, certain number
OF cholera patients had died. In reality,
the beds had never been slept in. They
were informed that they would be set
at liberty if they would sleep several
nights in the beds. They one and all
decided to take the chances. At the
end OF the time prescribed two were un-
injured and went free, but the others
developed all the symptoms, and died
