ouser Chinese Cemetery.

In the secluded corner of the ceme-
terry of the Evergreens, New York city,
is a famous but dilapidated Chinese
burying ground. The plot contains
perhaps half an acre. No attempt has
even been made to improve or beautify
it. 1t has neither tree, nor shrub, nor
flower, and grass grows only in
patches. The graves are constantly lit
tered with refuse from frequent feasts
and ceremonies; the headstones are
streaked with grease. The stones
which mark the graves are mostly uni
form in size and appearance. On each
are inscribed in Chinese characters,
the name, date of death and place of
nativity Of the person buried. The
Chinese are particular about the in
scriptions, and to insure accuracy give
the marble cutters fac-similies on pa
per, which are pasted on the face Of
the stones and the inscription is cut
through the paper by following the
lines. The cemetery authorities get
81 for opening or reopening a grave.
This is a source of constant revenue
from year to year. No matter how
many interments, there will always be
room for more. Seven or eight hun
bred persons have already been buried
in the plot, yet the number Of graves
does not exceed ten score. This is ex-
planned by the fact that these resting
places are only temporary. When
means and opportunity permit, the
bodies are exhumed, and the bones
packed in boxes for shipment to China,
where they will finally rest by the
graves of their ancestors. The head
stones are then removed and new ones
soon appear in their places. Thus a
single grave may at various times have
been a receptacle for many bodies
Recently more than hundred bodies
were exhumed and prepared for ship
neutrality-suspicious. Grit.

Horse Confined for Years.

A horse with hoofs abnormally
long, that has not been out of its stall
but once in the last eight years, is one
of the curiosities in Clinton, Ia. 1t is
the property OF an eccentric character
1t is said he is keeping the animal
confined to the stall in order to let its
hoofs grow so he can dispose of the
horse to some show manager. 1t is also
said he is afraid of the horse and does
not dare to take it out of the barn.
The horse is handsome black stall
lion, and were it accustomed to the
harness would bring a good price. In
it's present condition the owner has
been offered 5000 for the animal, but
he turns deaf ear to all offers. Eight
years ago, when the horse was one
year old. it was placed in its present
quarters, and but once in all these
years has the animal been out of
its stall This was five years ago when

Medical prummers.

The pursuit of bacterial antidotes
seems to be stimulated by a circum-
stance which has had rather an unfor-
tunate influence upon the dignity and
fair fame Of medical science. l mean
the fact that when successful they pos
sess a high commercial value, which
rebounds to the advantage of those
who discover and prepare them. Every
important meteorological institute has
become not merely temple of knowl-
edge, but a mandatory of drugs for
sale, and under the cover of an honor
able rivalry in the advancement of
science an modifying scramble for
possession of the market is going on.
When plague made its appearance in
Oporto last autumn, psychologists
FASTENED to the spot from various con-
tinental laboratories, no doubt to study
the disease at first hand, but also for
something else. They came from
France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia
and Norway Most of them had some
serum or other in their portmanteus or
up their sleeves. They were, in fact,
commercial travellers thinly disguised,
and naturally the most pushing agent
did most business. This gentleman,
who represented very famous institu-
ton, did his errand in a mastery style,
and displays a command of all the re-
sources of modern advertisement that
defied competition. 1t rained para
graphs and interviews in the local
press; ladies sympathetic visits to the
hospital; presents of money to the
sick; complimentary dinners; public
ceremonies; free incubation, etc, all
revolving round the person of the dis
tinguished savant and trumpeting the
fame of his infallible cure.-Contem-
porary Review.

Disadvantages of Co-Educafion

For the great majority of girls over
fifteen years of age a girls school or
college is much to be preferred, in
the opinion of one person, at least. l
can speak only what l think in this
connection. l know that many of the
wisest and best men and women will
not assent to my reasoning or my con-
clusons
1t should not be forgotten that the
emotional life is growing in and domi-
mating the life of all young creatures.
Girls can think and study better away
from the society of youths of their
own age than they can in company
with them. To get the best results
from study the mind must be kept
as free as possible from distractions
of an emotional nature. The associa-
lions of school life should be calm
healthful, cheerful and free from all
that is exciting or premature of de-
velopment The "firtations" of school
and college life are confessed by ev-
cry one to be out of place and out Of
time, yet when young men and young
women are together nothing can pre-
vent such episodes. This one fact
alone tells against "co-education," and
so strongly that nothing can entin
ly offset it-Ada c. Sweet

1t is odd to think that he was not

to some point on the lakes, and thus
discovering the north at one blow. The
plan seemed so feasible that it is said
to have materially aided the sale OF
confederate bonds in England, but
when Capt. Garrett, West Point
graduate, started to carry it out, he got
no farther than Harper's Ferry.
When he struck the mountains he
struck enemies who shot at his men
from ambush, cut down bridges before
him, carried the news of his march to
the federals, and Garnett himself fell
with a bullet from a mountaineer's
squirrel rifle at Harpers Ferry-Scrib-

There is tradition that accounts
for the four ones instead of the W.
A famous French jeweler of the name
of Henry Wick presented to King
Charles ", surnamed Wise, a clock
whose dial bore the correct Roman
numerals. Now, Charles did not know
everything, but, being king he pre-
tended to omniscience, and after fall
ing to find flaw in the works, said:l
THE clock runs well, but you have got
the figures on the dial wrong" Sure
ly not, your majesty" protested the
jeweler. Yes; that four should be
four ones" you are wrong, your
majesty" Il am never wrongl" thun-
dered the king. Take it away and
correct the mistake. Wick obeyed and
the fashion was followed by Others
and to this day we have iii. instead

The Metz ErnLo.rix,e-

If the claims made by officials of
the war department concerning the eff
ficacy of new explosive are borne
out by subsequent tests, the United
States may possess a secret which will
have important bearing on the inter-
national politics of the future.
Warships and Notifications which
have heretofore been regarded fmpreg-
nable will be at the mercy of Amer
lean guns. 1t has been demonstrated
that the thickest Harveyized armor
will not withstand the new projectiIe
when hurled by one of the great guns
and, what is more important, chat the
explosive with which the projectile IS
loaded will be discharged Immediately
the armor is pierced
Maximite, this new death-dealing ex-
plosive, is called after Mr.. Hiram
Maxim, its inventor. Mr.. Maxim is
the inventor of smokeless powder and
has made a speciality of high explo-
sives. 1t is announced by the officials
in charge of the tests which have been
made on the Sandy Hook proving
grounds that the results far surpass
anything heretofore attained in any
country. Experts express the opinion
that the building of battleships and
Notifications may be revolutionized
as the result of the discoveries made
by Mr.. Maxim.

To the Girl Leaofne coHese.

Aim for success. Do not select a
calling which is beyond you. 1t is
better to be a good housekeeper than
a poor teacher. 1t is better to be an
expert stenographer than an inferior
lawyer 1t is better to be an efficient
nurse than an inefficient doctor. Per-
haps the more ambitious calling will
bring a slight notoriety in the begin
ming, but if girl wishes to take a
worthy place in the world she must
not follow her bent, she must consid-
er whether she has strength for the
long race.-Temple Bailey in woman's

restored him to the throne. Inc BTU
ish Gen. Macnaghten had been muir
dered and his mutilated body displayed
IN the bazars of Cabul. The English
were disheartened and ready to submit
TO any terms by which they might
succeed in reaching India. The agree
ment which Akbar Khan had made
with Gen Macnaghten was renewed
and the surrendered garrison was to
have a military escort to insure its
safety during the retreat. According
ly the evacuation of Cabnl commenced.
The remnant of the British army, with
its Indian allies, which but a few
months before had overpowered and
banished Shah Dost Mahomed, was
now in the power of Akbar Khan, the
deposed rulers son.
The retreating body could not be
called an army. 1t numbered fully
16 1000 people, of which not more than
5000 were British soldiers. There were
fully 10000 camp followers of all
kinds, including many women and
children. Lady Macnaghten, widow of
