ON CHINESE RAILWAYS.
Peculiar Customs and Coaches Uulike
 Those of Any Other Coun-

A recent letter writer from China says: Our first-class carriage resem- bIed an American carriage in its gen. eral principles, but its exact counter part we had never seen. In each com Eartment two wooden seats, unfur- nished with cushions, faced each other. We learned that when the road was first built cushioned seats had been furnished, but owing to the untidy habits of the Chinese they had to be abandoned. Into the compartment all but the larger and heavier luggage was also carried. and our assortment in- cluded one large steamer trunk, plethoric English "hCld-all," one dress suit case, two bags and various parcels and bundles. Each passenger is al- lowed 3GO pounds of luggage on the liberal Chinese railways-a liberality that will pro obably be curtailed later.
 =. My neighbors across the way were two dainty ladies. one attircd in blue linen. the other in silk and black bro- caded tissue. Their purple black hair was elaborately pressed and orna- memted with jewcled pins and pinl. acti- ficiai flowers. One was q "bound-foot" woman; the other one had escaped the cruel disfigurement. The Manchuri- ans, to which the imperial family be- long. do not bind the feet. and the fashion set by the empress has been followed by many Chinese in Peking and it's vicinity. These little ladies smiled ard spoke in their own unintel- ligible language with an effort to be amiable and polite. They even crossed the aisle and made me understand that they would like to look out of he wir- dow which, on my side of the carriage, was next to the station. gladly made place for them. and, when their curios- ty was gratified, they went back to their own seat. The servant who had accompanied them took his leave and they then proceeded to bargain with the chestnut vendor. There was very soon a dispute over something. for they became greatly excited, and one of them brandished her English um- brella with astonishing vigor. They poured forth stream of shrill. volu- ble Chinese without the slightest eX- pression of i'll temper on their placid coun tenances.
 "It is a good thing that you do not understand Chinese," said M; "their language is dreadful

THE TATTOOED CRUCIFIX.
Now Licut. Commander Gilmore Was Sawed from Execution in the
 Philippines.

For the first time since We had been on the march. says Lieutenant Com mander Gilmore in McClure's, the Filipino lieutenant separated his camp from ours. He also doubled his guard stationing his soldiers in the rocks which surrounded us. Thinking all this somewhat peculiar, I sent enc Of the men to ask if he placed the guards for our protection.
 "No." was his laconic answer. Soon afterward he came himself to our camp. and through an interpreter calmly informed me that he had or ders. presumably from Gen. Tino, to execute us in the mountains.
 l have always believed that the lieu tenants refusal to obey orders and ex- ecute us was due to the effect. pro duced in his mind by an incident which had occurred night or two earlier. At one of our stops he had shown me a crucifi1, which he wore hung by ribbon around his neck. and said to me: "The 'Americanos' are not Chris, tions."
 "Oh. yes,' replied. "All the Amer jeans are Christians" ''But you never wear any cruciiNes." I opened my jacket and showed him my breast. A crucifiX had been tat tooed there years ago, when l was miGshipman. The Tagal leapsd to his feet with an eNclam alton of surprise. He instantly crossed himself. His eyes nearly started out of his head. I ex- plained to him that anyone could buy a crucifix and hang it around his neck, but that I had endured pain to have my crucifix pricked in the flesh, and that, as he could see. it must always be with me. There was a marked change in his manner toward me afteI that.

THE PRESIDENT AT HOME.
Csc of the White House Front Door an Index to simplicity of C*i
 Our Public Life, 5- 1

The use of the front door of the white house tells an impressive story of the simplicity of our republican form of government. In and out this one portal go the president and his family; the ladies of fashion who call upon the presidents wife: the copyists, telegraphers and messengers who are employed in the clerical work of the executive mansion, and they number a score; the otiice-seekers and business; parties of tourists on their way to see the historic East room; and the am bassadors of foreign mon archs going to present their creden- tials to the president of the United States.
 In the palaca of 8 European mon arch there would be several entrances. The public would have one door, the family another, and the diplomatists a third.
 The only attempt made at the white house to secure privacy for the president and his wife, says the Youths Companion, is this: When they enter or depart, two of the guards about the door quietly take places at the head of the little flight Of steps which lead up to the portico, and hold the public back few sec onds, while the president and wife step out to the carriage CT go in from it. Usually little bevy of peo- pie collects to see the president pass so near, and to them he always bows cordially.
 Inside the door it is expected that no one will accoSt the president while walking to and from his private apart ments. But there is nothing to pre- vent one from doing so. Not long ago a green reporter, who had just come to Washington, took this occa- sion to approach President Mckinley and question him upon the issues of the day. The president, recognizing the innocence of the intruder, chatted pleasantly with him. The next day the young man was warned by the guards that he should not do so again. Even q president must occasionally have few minutes to himself.

HAVE FAsT1DIous HABITS.
E-cn Decapitntion Does Not Prevent Certain Insects from Making
 r3 j. asGrand Final Toiict.

It has often been noticed that there are no animals which are more dainty and fastidious in their personal habits than insects, the extreme pains which the common houseffy takes in atteEd- ing to its toilet being a good eNampse of this racial characteristic. The dis covery has now been made that there are certain insects which have such a respect for Mrs Grundy, and are en- dowed with such an innate love of neat ness and order. that not even death, or rather decapltatlon, can prevent them from making one grand final toilet, which is clearly designed to give them Se<late and respectable appearance after death.
 Dr. Ballion, n skilled entomolcgist, has discovered this remark able fact, says the New York Herald. During one of my recent horseback rides" he says, Il frequently caught one of those
 large flies which annoy cattle and horses so much. and promptly got rid of it by crushing its head. One day, instead of throwing the mutilated in- sect away, placed it on the back of my hand and indolently watched it. For some seconds the insect remained mo- tionleSs, but then. to my unbounded
 surprise. it moved its front legs for ward to the place where the head should have been, and, after it had rubbed them neryously together, ap- parently in anguish, it began to brush it's body and to smooth it's wings with its hind legs. Under the gentle pres
 sure Of these limbs the body gradually became extended and the extremity curved. while the wings gradually changed their natural position and left I the upper part of the body exposed. Meanwhile the hind legs continued to 1 brush each other from time 10 tiu-e. i Naturally l watched this cxt-aordin-
 ary sight with great interest, and. in
 order to see the finale, I took the insect i into my study, where i; lived an entire day. spending the ti:re at tfc Cngra.e
 fui task Of making it's own funeral 1 toilet.''

THE YOUNG MANS MANNERS.
Spcfety Asks That He Behave Well, and Then His Path VIII
 Be Smooth.

Society asks little of young man eI- cept to behave well. If he be manly in looks, if he has g good manner, is civil to his elders, if he has any little gift of entertaining-any 'parlor triclls'-if he sends a few flowers occasionally, looks pleasant and is polite, his way will be smooth to success-always pro- viding that he is really q gentleman, says Ladies' Home Journal.
 He never joins her on q thoroughfara unless the friendship be an established one and only with her permission nor will he stand and converse with her.
 It is provincial to walk ''saadwichcd' between two women, to stare, or look after anyone who has passed.
 In public conveyance man does not pay wor2an's fare unless he is her escort, except in an emergency, when he must ask if he may.
 .Introductions are rarely made in pub lie places or conveyanccs.
 A man precedcs a woman when enter ing a theater or public place. In a church the lady goes first. He may pre- cedc her up d public staircase, but in a private house in ascending and descend- ing he follows.
 In picture galleries. in elevators in public buildings, hctel and theater cor riders, they being thoroughfares, a man retains his hat. In hotel he re- moves. it if women arc present.
 If a lady bows to a man ia a res taurant he rises slightly from his seat in acknowledgement. When he is with a party, if lady with her escort stops to speak to his friends he rises and remains standin. until she passes on. lie also rises il a man is introduced to him when with sta. party.
 If bachelor show some little hospi- tality it advances him much in favor. If he has attractive rooms, or has any thing to show, he may give an after noon tea or chafing-diSh supper. Sim plicity is in order. A bachelors enter tainment is usually regarded in the light of frolic and his efforts indul- gently considered A bachelor may live where he likes without loss of social position, if he be- long to one good club, which he may only use for the address on his ccTfar and note paper 'i its'i,'s'!f 'b'

HEAVY SOLES TO PREVAIL.
Women's Shoes for tke Winter Sen- zen Show Bat Little Change
 1a Style.

The boots the woman is to wear this winter and perhaps before the winter in the fall, when she needs heavy boots quite as much, are made on the most sensible lasts. that she has used for along time. There is a certain breadth and slope down to the toe which will give her toes plenty of room to breathe and will be comfort al ble. The heels are on the style of the military. but lower, sloping in little more and giving a prettier shape than the square heel. It is much more attractive than the higher Cuban, which has had it's day. The soles are heavier if anything than any that have been worn yet, and the extension wider, which is style be- coming to the foot. The extension is so wide on these shoes that novice thinks at first that they must be fenc- ing shoes, says the New York Times.
 There is that much for comfort in the design, but more has been done in the materials in the shoe. As the last has become less masculine in actual shape, though not in effect, SC the material has been adapted to womcns use. Tkc calf shoes. like the tan. have to be care fully dressed and require bootblack, and not only that, but the "blacklnG rubs off and is fatal to the gowns. The new boots are of Q softer leather, which is specially dressed for the use to which it is put. It has what leather men call oil tannage in preference to dry, to mako them impervious to moist ure, and if the woman does not have a comfortable as well as sensible shoe it will not be the fault of the boot makers. as
 The lace shoe is if anything increas- ing in popularity in these. maunish shoes. There is no call for the narrow toe in any of the shoes, though there has been but little change in the gen. eral run of boots. +
 For the early fall the stout Oxford or low-cut shoe will be worn with the heavy sole and broad extension. There are still tan shoes in the shops and tan shoes undoubtedly comfortable. They require less treatment in dyeing and are consequently softer, but it cannot be said that they are fashionable, con sequently for the woman who wishes to wear them still they can be had at reasonable prices.

WHEEL WAS HIS SAFEGUARD.
Petty Naval OEcar'x Bicycle Kept Him from tho Allurcmcnts of
 the Saloons.

''1n these days of automobiles, steam carriages and electric vehicles" said an observant man the other day to New York Tribune man. "the bicycle is not being neglected. It has become too cheap to be popular with the upper classes, but it is more of blessing than ever to the poor. Even the newsboys and boot blacks own their own wheels now It was on a visit to the cruiser Baltimore the other day that l became convinced that one could find bicycles every where.
 Il was passing through one of the gangways leading to the quarters of the crew. There were guns and fight ing things on every side. I happened to look up and was surprised to see a bicycle securely fastened to the top of the gangway. It was an old-style wheel, with heavy frame and thick tires, but it had served the petty off, cer who owned it very we'll It had been ridden in most of the seaports of Europe at which American war yes sels call The owner had scorched about the streets of Hong-Kong and had taken a bicycle trip into the in- terior of Japan. Even in Manila he had found it useful, in spite of the extreme heat.
 "'The owner of that wheel has saved more money during tho last three years than any other petty officer on the ship said the lieutenant who was showing mo around. It keeps him busy when he has shore leave and he has no desire to go to saloons and other places in which sailors ''drop'' all of their hard-earned pay"
