ECHOES FROM THE BIG TOWNS

In London $1,000 girls attend cook
ing-classes.
Fewer people proportionately keep
their own carriages in Paris than in
London.
The board of health of the city Of
Galveston is arranging for a large sup.
ply of oil from the beaumont wells to
be used in fighting mosquitoes.
Twenty-nine per cent. of England's
population live in cities of over 100000
In the United States the proportion is
10 per cent; in Germany, II; in France,
12; Austria, s, and Russia, s.
In all big cities there are multitudes
of folk who work in the night time. In
London fully 100000 inhabitants earn
their bread by the sweat of their
brows between sunset and sunrise.
A dime-museum "fire eater" in New
York tried to vary his programme by
inhaling gas, lighting his breath, and
furnishing heat to cook griddle-cakes.
He collapsed from the effects of the

DICTATES OF DAME FASHION.

A very quaint fashion is the revival
of the paletot, it being most popular
in black taffeta. 1t makes a pretty,
light and inexpensive summer wrap,
much beruchcd and trimmed.
There is such lot in color, and few
women know how to make the most of
it. Black is either very becoming or
quite the reverse, though on the
whole it is smart, especially for even
ing wear.
Women have recently been wearing
China silk skirts with their light cling
ing gowns, and some of these 60 in

is the material of all others for the

SIMPLIFIES THE CODE.
Gen. Greedy, Chief Signal OmceP OF
Army, Invents New Telegraph
Cable System.

Gen. A. w. Greedy, chief signal Of.
ficer Of the army, who is now in
Manila, is one of the most Industrious
OF army officers. Besides being head
of the signal corps and in charge
OF the war department library, he
has found time to devise a telegraph
cable code which he hopes to have
adopted by business houses who have
business use for the wire.
He has invented this code, which Is
understood to be much simpler than
the one at present in use, in his
leisure hours, and has taken out a
patent in his own name, and he hopes
to derive an independent income from
the invention.
A short time ago Gen. Greely's de-
partment completed work on COM
pilation of nearly 1000 pages. which
has now been published by the gov
ernment printing Office. 1t is an in
dex to early congressional papers,
and the need of such work was sug-
gested, Gen. Greedy says, by the diff
ficultv encountered in obtaining in
formation on 'ar.ous points of Amer
lean history in the early days of the
republic.

The fondness for spring chickens is
not confined to Methodist preachers

burg there is a horse that is equal to
a whole Methodist conference in his

a half dozen spring chickens at a meal.

JAPAN'S POSTAL SYSTEM.
Secured Through the Efforts Of Dis
missed United States Cow
ernment EmplOye.

Thirty years ago, young man
named Samuel NJ. Bryan, clerk in the
post Office department at Washington,
received notice that his services were
no longer needed. 1ncompetency was
the reason given for his dismissal,
says Success. When he looked over
his stock in trade, he found that it
consisted of something less than 500
In cash and-a great idea. A week
later he was on his way to San Fran
cisco, one good-natured postal clerk
after another allowing him to ride in
his car. On reaching San Francisco
he secured a place as purser on n
steamship bound for Japan, and, in
due time, found himself in Toxic.
Once in Japan's chief city he proceed
ed without delay to put his great idea
into execution. What he proposed
was to perfect and put in operation,
in Japan, postal system modelled aft.
er that of the United States. Bryan
found willing listeners among the
high Japanese officials, and in due
time was requested to prepare pros
pectus of his system to be submitted
to the mikado. Its value was at once
recognized and its adoption ordered.
Bryan was placed at the head of the
aew department, with q salary of
$ll, 900 YER. and entrusted with the
negotiation of postal treaty between
Japan and the United States. A few
months later he was back in Washing e.
ton as the envoy of the japanese gov
e1ument, treating on equal terms
with the man who had dismissed him
fog inconpetency. The treaty, which
he negotiated with skill and diplom-
acy, proved satisfactory to all con-
serned. Bryan remained some IS
years in the service Of the japanese
governmSst. He then returned to the
United States, rich man. 1t is in
teresting 20 conjecture what his
career might have beea hal he not
lost his place in the post cf,ice de-

Arc i'"'""s' been very unjust,
for the reason that their inability to
do so springs from natural physical

throw a ball, if the statement recently
made by Philadelphia physician is
true. He declares that "it is phys
ical impossibility for girl to throw
strongly and accurately, as boy
throws. A girl throws with rigid
arm, and it is out of the question for
her to acquire free movement, such
as is possible with boy, because her
collarbone is larger and sets lower than

action is not brought into play, they
may excel, but they may as well give

| Fires Quench ed by Flooding.
Vancouver. b. c., Feb. is. ddit.onaF
details continue to come from the
| Union mines on Vancouver island,
where the horrible III fatality occurred
Friday forenoon. The accident has
thrown the towns Of Cumberland and
Nanaimo into a state Of gloom. The
Canadian Pacific Railway con1pany'a
steamer Tartar arrived at Vancouver
yesterday afternoon from the coaling
station at Union, twelve miles from
Cunlb erland. She brought two pas.
sengers, TT. r. Raymond and George
Bennett both coal miners. Neither
had any theory as to the cause of the
explosion in No. shaft. They say
the cause is not known and that it
will never be known. When the Tartar
left Union at O'Clock in the morning,
the latest news from No. shaft was,
that the flooding process was being
still continued. The fire YVES still
burning although not so fiercely as
during the preceding thirty-six hours.
The tremendous volume Of water pour
ing into the mines from the cantsnu~
Gus supply furnished by an eigft-inch
main, was gradually performing the
desired service and by to-day it Is con-.s
fidently expected the fire will be ex-
tinguished. 1t will be several days
Raymond says before the bodies of the
sixty-one entombed miners can be res
covered. After the fire has been COM
pletely put out it will be necessary to
pump the water out of the mine be-
fore a rescuing party can hope to get
OF the corpses now lying at the bottom
of the shaft. The families Of the dead
miners require financial assistance
which will be Forthcoming from more
than one source. The mayor VAN
couver has already taken steps to aid
the bereaved families and other cities
are taking similar action. In tha
meantime Premier Dunsmuir has or
dered the storekeepers at Cumberland
to- give the distressed families what
supplies they may need.
