ODE Features OF Their Attire and
Dfstingui~hing Badges Of
Their Different Parties.

The Japanese peasants, when they
get themselves up for the business OF
a pilgrimage, are the quaintest fig
ures imaginable. says Good Words
The women generally tuck up their
petticoats well above their knees,
either leaving the legs bare, or else
swathing them with white bandages,
which form a kind Of leggins. Their
hair is done in the usual elaborate
Japanese style, and generally an afti-
fetal flower is stuck in at the top. II
does look so comic 20 see the wiz
ened face Of an old woman with
large red rose bobbing over it, And
this floral decoration Is not confined
% the women; when you meet a par
" of pilgrims you often see the old
men also with a flower stuck coquet-
tishly above the ear. / found out
the reason Of this rather inappro-
pirate ornamentation when / was az
Nagano. II appears that many OF the
poor old dears from the country get
so bewildcred by the magnifcence Of
the places they 70 to, and the dis
fractions OF shopping, that they
quite lose their heads, and conse-
quently their way SO the ever
thoughtful japanese police have in
sisted that every party Of pilgrims

Nagano IL was the commonest thing
possible 10 see some ancient dame
rushing about wailing: "Where is my
partyP Where is the purple iris par
typ" or where is the yelllow-towel-
round-thc-neck party?" And then she
would be told that the "yellow-towel-
round-the-neclS party" was on its way
10 the station, or that the purple
rises were still saying their prayers

Polish Herdsmnn kept II IN Even
While Unconscious from Fatal
Injury.

Dr. William Krauss, in the journal
Of Nervous and Mental Diseases, de-
scribes the ease OF Polish herdsman,
81 years Of age, weighing 23o pounds,
who, some months previous to an ac-
cident, had suffered from apoplexy re-
sulting in left hemiplegia. lie was
slowly recovering the use Of his arm
and leg when he was struck by
train, and was found unconscious on
the track, with scalp wounds. There
was a depressed fracture of the
skull three inches above and one inch
behind the left ear, He was imme-
diately trephined and the depressed
bone removed.
At ten o'clock az night he began 10
whistle, not. however. the popular
songs Of the day" but the whistle
calls he was accustomed 20 use in
calling or driving his hocls. lie
would continue whistling for about
one minute, then would cease for five
or ten minutes. and kept this M at
regular intervals until he died Jan
uary 3, 1890. III 10;30 o'clock D. m. At
no time WINS il possible 10 distinguish
any melody. The sounds were Of tho
same pitch and intensity and Of tho
same character. They were audible
throughout the ward and attracted
the attention Of patients and attend
ants. To the physicians in attend
ance II was strange experience 70
hear those whistle calls coming from
patient in a state OF unconscious
ness. II was impossible 90 rouse the
patient at any time before or after
the accident, and ,he died, whistling

BEWARE OF THE STRAP.
The supports Are a Possible source
of Infection 20 Those Who
Ride I'm street Cars,

The connection between the microbe
and the street car strap has frequent
liz been discussed and az least one in
stance has proved somewhat distress
ingly that danger Is likely TO Turk in
the piece of leather which helps 20 sup
port so many women during the rush
hours OF the day. II was TO protect
a fresh pair of white gloves that a
New York woman, compelled 10 stand,
held her handkerchief inside the strap
while going 10 the theatera short time
ago, says the sun. On her way home
she was again compelled 60 stand, and
once more the handkerchief came be-
tween her glove and the leather.
Whether il was after that or during
the evening az the theater that she
once thoughtlessly put the handker-
chief TO her face is detail that she
does not recall, but two days after
ward pain on her lip became so intol-
cradle that she was compelled 10 see
a doctor. who found her suffering from
iacipient blood poisoning which il was
already too late for him 10 prevent.
The most that he could DO was 10
watch her carefully through long at
tack OF illness which at one time
threatened TO end fatally.
lie attributed this 10 some poison
Gus substance which had passed TO her
handkerchief from the strap, and that
was his diagnosis the moment he heard
the story Of the ride on the cable car.
She fortunately recovered, and her
physicians think that the present dis
hgurement 20 her face which resulted
from the necessity Of an operation will
not be permanent. The case has con-

Capital Crime Committed by Man In
Germany Lnder singular
circumstances

A German named Lebedeer, serving
In the French foreign legion, has
told strange story about a ritual
murder 10 the officers of court
martial assembled at Oran in Al
gcria, says the London Telegraph
The soldier was being tried for hav-
ing made away with his military eff
fects, and he excused himself by
stating that he was preparing 20 de-
sert, as he was afraid that he va
about 20 be arrested as the man who
killed and cut up a young Catholic
student named Worser, at Koenitz
about two years ago. This was a
case of what is known as ritual mnr-
der, and il caused much sensation at
the time of its preparation.
Lebedeer's story is that he was out
Of work one day az Koenitz and a
man offered him money 10 accom-
pany him TO a synagogue. There he
saw some masked men. who ordered
him, under pain Of death, to Kill
young student who was asleep in the
place, and who had evidently been
drugged. Lebedeer had to do what
he was told. He cut up the body.
and the blood was drained into a
silver basin. When all was over
Lebedeer was paid, and was told that
whenever he wanted assistance he
had only 20 present sealed letter
given TO him by the masked men TO
any Jews whom he should meet He
used the letter at Breslau and at
Frankfort-on-the-Moin, and then en-
tered French territory. Fearing ar
rest he joined the foreign legion.
Lehedeer was condemned by the
court-martial TO six months impris-
onment and magistrate has been
appointed 10 sec il his extraordinary
story can stand verfication, or iflne
merely told IL for the purpose Of
avoiding military punishment

AN UNUSUAL EXHIBITION.
Extraordinary Parting Takes Place
Detween Two Men az "A Rail-
way station.

An elderly man and his strapping son
stood In a railway station one day late
ly awaiting train. The son was an
athletic-looking chap, who attracted
general attention by his magnificent
proportions, says the Baltimore News.
Apparently he was going west. At all
events, when his train was called the
lookers-on fairly held their breaths
with surprise, for the younger man put
his arms around the elder one and
kissed him fairly and squGrely on his
mustached mouth. Then he scurried
through the gate, and the last view OF
him showed him waving farewell
from the back platform OF the sleep
ing car.
The remarkable thing about this lit
tie scene was that both participants in
II were Americans. One wouldn't have
been surprised at such a show OF az
lection ii they had been Germans or
Frenchmen or Italians; but IL was an
unusual exhibition for practical, un-
sentimental young America 90 make.
The average native OF the United
States, should he return from Darkest
Africa after an absence Of ten years,
would shake hands with his father just
as he would with the strange guest
within his gate, and he would ask both
affably 10 have a cigar. On the other
hand, his masculine relatives would
evince their interest and affection by
asking him IL his boat were on time.

, mony performed TO propitiate the fem

alton. There are times, OF course,
when men do not consider OSCILLATION

declared that he could see the better

his foot, and, sure enough. there was
the match. IL was ? dark night, and
besides Janicaud was some 80 feet
ahead Of him and had his nightcap
drawn closely over his face.

DANISH EXPORT OF EGGS.
of the Trade Within Five
Ncnr~.

Ia 1895 we scarcely knew Denmark
as an egg producer; but in that year
was founded the first Danish coopera-
tive society for the export Of eggs
The same system which had succeeded
with butter was now TO be applied to
eggs. says the London Mail The coun-
try was divided up into districts; each
district had in some railway station
collecting depot, and all members Of
the society were bound 20 deliver three
times a week at the depot. The depot
agent refused, or had a right 70 refuse
all eggs more than four days old, and
every producer of each district had a
distinctive number branded on the
egg. Thus, in the event Of an egg prov
ing bad, the depot which shipped il
would he proceeded against, and by
means N the distinctive number the
depot agent would be able 20 detect
the producer, on whom the loss would
finally fall.
by thus guaranteeing absolute
freshness and making good any occa-
sional loss, tho Danes established a
high standard, and SO created a CON
tinuous demand. And what is the re-
suit? In 1s95-the first year Of the
experimentation were established
six local egg societies. with an aggre-
gate Of 1000 members; in 1900 there
were actually no fewer than s37 sep
arate cooperative societies, with a to-
tai membership Of 10000 producers!
Is it surprising that Denmark should
send 20 England alone 100000 of
eggs annually2
