HE BArFLEp THE RAIDERS.

The success of raid on an alleged
gambling house in Massachusetts,
town was foiled by the presence OF
mind Of an attendant of the place, who
swallowed the dice. OF course this
clever trick wouldn't work in some
gambling places. Even a Massachu-
sets throat would scarcely be able to
worry down the paraphernalia Of a
fully equipped establishment. But it
was winner on the occasion named.
The bones clicked against the teeth
of the attendant, there was gulp and
wriggle. and the laws myrmidons
were bafTled The attendant might
have added as he tossed the cubes of
chance across his tongue that the die
is cast, but being entirely unfamiliar
with classic lore, he merely remarked
with a skillfully disguised wink that
he didn't know nothin' about no dice
nohow.
And az the state constable had nc
warrant which authorized him to raid
the attendants midst, he turned away,
leaving the swallower in the throes OF
fit of laughter that made the dice
rattle at every throe.-Cleveland Plain

JAPANESE RAILWAYS.
Over Three Thossaad Miles Of Iron
Road il Operation.

Over Three Thousand Miles of Tror
Road In Operation.
Extension OF the railway system In
Japan goes on uninterruptedly. The
most recent returns give the length
of railway lines as 1886 miles--83:
miles of government and 1902 miles Of
private railway on March 81. 1900
This makes an increase Of sixty-five
miles Of government and $50 miles OF
private railway since April 1, 1899, a
length of 215 miles in all, The prin-
cipal private lines are the Nippon
railway, mileage 857 miles; Kyush,l
railway, mileage 27O miles; Hokkai-
do Tanko railway, mileage, 207 miles.
A private railway law and railway
business law were promulgated On
Of control over the construction OF
railways and matters connected with
railway work in general, etc., and reg
ulations for the carrying out Of the
private railway law, setting forth in
detail the method of obtaining off,
cial sanction to railway undertakings,
and the mode of operations, etc., were
issued on August 10, 1900. The above
laws and regulations came into force
on October /, 1900. Sleeping cars were
brought into use on the Tokaido line
from the same date. Speaking Of loco
motives, the above journal says that
the Japanese railway companies, with
few exceptions, have discarded Ameri-
can locomotives in favor of those OF
British manufacture, merely using up.
but not replenishing, their stock OF
the former, as they have experienced
so much trouble from their boilers. 1t
is only by one or two Of the smaller
railway companies and Of the Hok-
kaido railway that orders for loco
motives are still placed in the United
States, and for two reasons-cheapness
and dispatch.
For example, specifications were re-
Gently issued for locomotives for the
Hokkaido railway, for which British
manufacturers were allowed to tender.
but both the limit Of time and the
price obtainable were insuperable OBJ
stacles to the order being given to tho
United Kingdom. During 1900 thirty
locomotives were ordered from Brit
ish factories, an order for twenty-four
of them, valued at 100000, being
placed in November. Two of the foul
sleeping cars which are in use on the
government railway came from Eng
land, and two from the United States.
The former are found to be much bet
ter and to give greater satisfaction.
Whils it is probable that those re-
quired for future use will be construct
ed in Japan, the United Kingdom will
benefit by supplying the fittings, such
as wheels, sole bars, buffers and
springs, which are not made here.

Sweetness of Character.

"The character Of William Nc.
Kinley was the embodiment of sweet.
ness; in all the years Of my persona
contact with him in the halls Of Con-
gress, never once was his temper ruff
fed. He was master OF himself, and
therefore fit to be master of others.
Never once, even in the midst Of
the excitement Of debate was he be.
trayed into the use of invective or per
sonal sarcasm. OF all the men who
have been in the House of Representa-
tives during my experience there, none
was ever so much beloved by his as
sociates, and by his political opponents
as we'll. He never allowed the truth
to be misrepresented by party am
bition. "-Abram s. Hewitt before the

Latter Bars of. soxsrelsns.

A Berlin newspaper has recently
published some curious details re-
specting the letter bags of the prin-
cipal European sovereigns. 1t is the
pope who breaks the record. as he re-
ceives every day from $4,000 to $4,000
letters and newspapers. King Edward
VII comes next with 5000 newspapers
and 1000 letters. The car and the
German emperor receive each from 600
to 700 letters, appeals, etc.; the king
of Italy, 500; Queen Wilhelmina from
100 to $50. The pope, says the same
authority, employs no fewer than thir-
ty-five secretaries. The Emperor Will
liam writes a great deal himself, and
since Queen Victoria's death he has
used black bordered paper. In ordi-
nary times he uses large sheets of light
blue or dark gray paper.
