The scenes at The mines and in the

Hardly house has escaped affection.
The work of resclling is being hurried.
The presence Of coal damp is adding
to the danger of rescue work. A fear
has become general that the mines

ing besought by their relatives not to
venture into the shafts even for res

YOKOHAMA. BY NIGHT.
Lantern illumination Makes the City
Akin to FniryIand.

Lantern illumination Makes the City
Akin to FniryIand.
A row of paper lanterns in the black
shadow Of a wall is the first impress
sion the newly arrived traveller has OF
Yokohama as he steps from his SAM
pan" on to the wharf at night.
The lanterns hang low and almost
motionless, but at the word 'rickshaw"
they begin TO sway, and with n silent,
almost rhythmical movement they
come rushing toward him. A moment
later he discovers that each lantern is
attached to n rickshaw, which offers
for less than half a yen an hour TO con-
vey him anywhere his fancy may lead
him. But go where he win the lantern
is always there, dangling and swaying
and dimly flashing.
The lantern on the rickshaw is a
characteristic detail of the night pic
ture of Yokohama. 1t is a series Of
brilliant dashes OF color under a cloud
less, starlit sky, famed by a soft
breeze which seems half Of the sea and
half OF the tropics, with smiling, doll
like people gliding about everywhere.
1t hardly seems real. 1t isn't fairyland
exactly, because fairies are not sup
posed to be always as picturesque as
are these Japanese. Certain it is that
few things anywhere in the round
world can be more beautiful than Ian
tern lighted Yokohama.
As the occidental crosses the bridge
over the canal from the foreign quar-
ter and enters the native city he sees
n bewildering maze Of lights. Through'
out Yokohama gas lamp posts are few
and far between, a fact which makes
the lantern illumination all the more
conspicuous. They are not hung at reg
ular heights or intervals, but make d
sort of tangle of soft colored lights
over the front OF the buildings and
even across the street.-New York Mai

A Foggy story.

In London an American, boasting Of
the superiority Of his country, was in
terrupted by an Englishman, who said:
'There's one thing in which this coun-
try surpasses America You never saw
on the other side of the Atlantic any
fog that could match the one which
hangs over London tonight"
Fog! Fog!' came the unhesitating
reply of the irate American. "Why,
this is nothing compared with some Of
the fogs we have around New York
harbor Sometimes the fog is so thick
around there that it's a common thing
for the captains of the ferryboats to
put on extra crews simply to pump the
fog out of the cabins. Why, there's a
corporation organizing in New Jersey
right now to can American fog and
supply the British people with the real
thing "-Argonaut.

CLASS DISTINCTIONS.
they Co Almost Down to the Very
Bottom OF Society.

Some sort of class feeling is, we be-
lieye, inherent in human nature. Peo-
pie often speak as though these de-
marcations existed only among the
middle and upper classes, but such is
not the fact. Indeed it is very far
from the fact. No more misleading
labels than "the classes and "the
masses" were ever invented. There
are no masses, rightly speaking. Class
distinctions 20 almost down to the bot
tom-not quite, of course, because
there is always a reslduum who
through their fault or their misfortune
have neither the pride nor the imag'
inatiOn toSort themselves.
Money is not an absolute criterion OF
social position. Character, in so far
as 1t is reflected in propriety Of be
havlor, counts for a great deal. A
rowdy family sink directly, though
they may have money to waste, and q
respectable widow may retain her su
perlority in the face Of grinding power
tys The acme Of good manners. the
very badge Of gentility, is to b'
"quiet," never TO let the sound oI
mirth, quaTeling or lamentation pro
ceed out of your dwelling.
This sign of social distinction is ap
preciated down to the very bottom

She prlcIsea Her Finger.

A maid employed by a prominent
New York family came to her mistress
with tears in her eyes not many days
after she had been in the household
and said that she had pricked her fin
ger with table fork.
Il am terribly worried. ma'am," she
said, "for fear the fork may have had
some brass in it and have poisoned my
hand"
"Oh, nonsense, Maryw replied the
lady of the house. "How could the
fork poison you when it is made Of
pure silver? / never allow anything
else on my table"
The next day Mary and the fork
which had pricked her and all the 9TH
er forks and, in fact, the whole table
service, guaranteed by the mistress to
be solid silver, had disappeared for

Curious Letters by Harvard Man
Who Served Under Washington.

Curious Letters by Harvard Man
Who Served Under Washington.
Some curious side lights on history, as
valuable in their way as the more seri-
GUS studies, are found in a little collec-
ton of letters from a Revolutionary
soldier which are preserved in the Har-
ward library. They were written to
relatives and friends in New Hamp-
shire by one William Weeks, Har-
ward graduate, who was an officer in
Washington's army.
IIomesickness must have been severe
at times, though in one of his letters
from Valley Forge this soldier seems
TO have had a hard struggle between
his natural pleasure at the honors
which he was fortunate enough to be
accorded and his nostalgia. "This
Day." he writes, Il must be at Gen'l
Sullivan's to takeiDinner with him, the
other day l had as great an Honour
cOnferd upon mel had the Honour
to take Glass of Wine with Gen'l
Washington & his Lady-But at the
same time 1 should count as great an
Honour to have the satisfaction of see
ing, conversing & taking a Glass of
Wine with my-Friends at Home"
There is a curious indication Of the
stdte Of mind in the Continental army
at times during the war in another
letter, where Mr.. Weeks says, "If my
Wages were not higher than 1 expected
when at Home, 1 would by no means
tarry, but as they are rais'd, and for
the Love have for the Country, can
by no Means think of leaving the
Army"
That the manner of obtaining a Her
ward degree has changed radically ii
the last hundred years appears in q
paragraph written at Valley Forge in
IT'S Weeks had taken his A. =. three
years before that, but evidently was
anticipating an A. NJ. "As the cam
paign is coming on" he wrote, 81 have

Innnh nnh thc WhnIe.

There is nothing in the original texts
OF the Bible to show that the creature
which we are told swallowed Jonah
was really the same animal we call a
whale" in this day and age of the
world. The word translated into both
the Septuagint and the New Testament
was the Greek word "Katos,' which
means simply a sea monster, and this
word was the one used by our Lord in
his reference to the account of Jonah's
exploit. So far, therefore, as the He
brew or Greek words are concerned,
the monster may have been a shark, a
sea serpent or some other uncanny dem
izen of the deep.
Hence there is nothing incredible in
the statement that Jonah, upon being
thrown into the sea, was quickly over
taken by some water monster and
swallowed without suffering mutila.

STAGE LIFE TEN YEARS.
New Crop of Minor Actors Harvested
Every Decade.

New Crop of Minor Actors Harvested
Every Decade.
A new crop of stage people is har-
vested in the United States every ten
years. Each decade marks the begin
ming Of a new epoch in theatrical his
tory.
This fact does not,apply so aptly to
stars and stage people who dominate
in the profession, for the life of these,
so far as the public is concerned, is
usually somewhat longer. But with the
rank and file-those who never rise
higher than the level of minor roles
ten years is about the limit of endur-
ance. After having served before the
public for that length of time without
doing anything sufficiently meritorious
or novel to attract unusual attention
the actor or actress, as a rule, passes
away in so far as the profession is
concerned, and new crop is harvest
ed among the many anxious recruits
on the waiting list to fill the depleted
ranks.
Men who deal in the talents of stage
people to the extent of reaping finan-
cial return from their labors are better
qualified to ''size up" the situation
than others, and their experience
teaches that few ordinary people of
the theatrical profession remain longer
than ten years in the business. They
either achieve distinction-althoug
this is the exception rather than the
rule-or else drop into other lines after
having been convinced by experience
that the stage, so far as they are di-
rectly concerned, offers practically no
opportunity for advancement. For this
reason the rank and file Of the profes-
sion is constantly changing, and the
popular idea ''once an actor always an
actor" is easily disproved.-Chicago
Tribune.

Ho,v savages oame 70 Use IznIvea.

How savages Came TO Use Knives.
The first men, armed with the sim
plest weapons or with none at all, pur-
sued in the chase the animals that
served them as food and, being gener-
ally in a state OF starvation. tore them
TO pieces with their fingers and de-
voured on the spot the flesh, raw and
bloody. In time they domesticated an
imals that assisted them in hunting
and invented the bow and spear that
enabled them to kill their prey at a
greater distance.
The knife was invented as an instru-
ment Of attack OF defense or for rough
cutting and carving and. being com
monty worn on the person, was found
convenient in eating and became in
time an accessory Of the table for rea-
sons so obvious that they require nc
explanation.
