The appropriation of $9,650,000 for the
Uganda railroad will suffice, it is
thought, for its completion. The total
cost of the 5S3 miles, with rolling stock
complete, will be $24 $780, 00 or nearly
twice as much as was expected when the
work was begun. At present 1862 miles
have been completed. Two years more
will be required before the locomotive
can run from Mombasa, on the Indian
ocean, to Lake Victoria, in the heart of
Central Africa, at the sources of the
Mile. The road is a state undertaking,
being required. it is thought, to facili-
tate control of Uganda, Unyoro and the
waterway of the Upper Nile region.

The Hair In the Watch.

Superfuous hirsute adornments are
unpopular with women, especially
when they take the form Of incipient
mustaches. Men, as rule, are not so
sensitive, but hairy individual, who
must have been a lineal descendant of
Esau, inasmuch as he actually had
whiskers growing out of his ears, had
a rather narrowing experience in a
fashionable Chestnut street jewelry
store. He wanted to buy n watch, the
best in the place, and a very elaborate
salesman. 1t was said to be an ex-
cellent timekeeper. I'VE have had 1t
in stock for quite awhile" explained
the salesman, "and can guarantee that
it won't vary a fraction of a second.
We've never allowed it to run down."
The prospective purchaser, who look
ed like 4 prosperous mine owner from
works and casually placed the watch to
his ear. "Never run down, heyp he
calculated. "Why, it's stopped now."
That's very strange" said the sales
man.
The man again placed the watch to
his ear to make sure, and then the
truth became apparent. The hair which
protruded from his ear had iE truded
into the works and stopped the delicate
mechanism. The salesman didn't like
to explain matters, and his delicacy
cost him the sale of the watch.-Phila-
delphia Record.

Causes For Suicide In China.

So far as | have been able to ascer-
tain, the causes of suicide in China are
not, as in Europe, profound melan-
cholia, heavy losses or disappointment
in love, but chiefly revenge and the de-
sire to inflict serious injury on another.
Suicide enables a Chinese to take a
truly terrible revenge, for he believes
that his spirit will Indignantly haunt
and injure the living, and the desire to
save a suicides life arises In most cases
not from humanity, but from the hope
Of averting such direful catastrophe.
If a master offends his servant or
makes him "lose face" or a shopkeeper
his assistant or apprentice, the surest
revenge is to die on the premises, for 1t
not only involves the power Of haunt
ing and of infiicting daily injuries, but
renders 1t necessary that the body
should lie where death occurs until an
official inquiry Is made, which brings
into the house the scandal and turmoil
of a visit from mandarin with body
of officials and retainers.
1t is quite common for a man or wo-
man to walk into the courtyard of q
person against whom he or she has q
grudge and take fatal dose Of opium
there to insure these desirable results!

Did n Wholesale business,

An Englishman hailing from the
north went into the Chatham hotel, in
Paris, recently and cautiously asked
the price of whisky.
"One franc. SIR" replied the bar
tender.
"And q whisky and sodaT
zone franc, sir. All drinks are the
same price"
The Englishman sat down and, to his
astonishment, found that the place
was run on American lines and that
the customers helped themselves at
their own discretion. He punished
that bottle Of whisky till 1t was ne r
ly empty. As he went out he paid
down his franc, but the manager call
ed him back and said. You have for
gotten your change"
81 thought that the drink was a
franc"
"That is so, sir" was the reply.
"That is the retail price, but there is
reduction when you buy wholesale"
And he handed back 8 sous.-London

BFN DAVIS APPLE.

one knows who Ben Davis was or
where he lived or died. All that is
known of its history is that 1t came
into favor with orchard planters in the
southwest, and the name Travelled
with the tree In the markets Of Phil
adelphia there are probably more of
this variety offered for sale during De
cember and January than any other.
Its ruddy cheeks on a pale yellow
ground are tempting, and its eating
qualities are by no means poor, yet 1t
could not be classed as specially fine,
but as an all round good variety it has
popular points. And then it is good
tree for the marketman in this, that it
does not take as many years to come
into bearing as some kinds, like the
Northern Spy, for instance, and is
regular yearly bearer, not requiring the
resting spells that some demand, and
seems to be no favorite with apple dis
eases that feast on other kinds. Alto
