the New York pilots had combined
with us and built the steam pilotboat

for vessels in small schooners.
"Such cruise in pilotboat would
be tiresome to any one at any time;

ORIGIN of the Jinrilkisha.

Most travellers in Japan would sup
pose that so general a Japanese insti-
tuition as the jinrikisha was of native
origin, but not so. An old resident OF
Yokohama writes to the Kobe Chron1-
ele: ''For several years after the insti.
tuition of the jinrikisha it was general
ly understood among foreigners in Yo-
kohama that Mr.. Goble, half cobbler,
half missionary was its inventor. Mr..
Cioble, though a rough looking sort of
man, was regarded by the foreign resi-
dents of the port as an honest, con-
sistent missionary. | believe it was he
who built the first missionary chapel
in Yokohama, and as long as 1t lasted
it was known as Coolies church, He
was in the habit of taking long ram
bles in the country and doing a little
peddling business, and, if my memory
serves me rightly, he gave a commits
sion to a blacksmith either in Kawasa-
XII ION the Tokaido, between Yokohama
and Tokyo or in Fujisawa to construct
the first jinrikisha. The vehicle took
at once with the japanese, but not SO
among the foreigners, with whom it
was some time before it became pop

HENRY CLAY AS AN ACTOR.

IeaN Case.

How the Great Lawyer Won q Hope
IesS Case.
AN old and well known traveller, who
has recently settled in Chicago, while
coming in from Pewee valley the other
afternoon told an interesting story
about Henry Clay, the great Kentucky
statesman. The story teller in hia
youth lived In Mr.. Clays district dur
ing the time when Henry Clay was at
his prime as lawyer.
"a man was once being tried for
murder" said the narrator, land his
case looked hopeless indeed. He had
without any seeming provocation MUIR
dered one of his neighbors In cold
blood. Not q lawyer in the county
would touch the case. It looked bad
enough to ruin the reputation of any
barrister.
"The man rs last extremity ap
pealed to Mr.. Clay to take the case for
him. Every one thought that Clay
would certainly refuse, but when the
celebrated lawyer looked into the mat
ter his fighting blood was reused, and,
to the great surprise Of all. he accept
ed
"Then came trial the like Of which
I have never seen. Clay slowly car.
ried on the case, and it looked more
and more hopeless. The only grounG
of defense the prisoner had was that
the murdered man had looked at him
with such a fierce, m2rderous look that
out Of self defense 1e had struck first.
A ripple passed through the jury at
this evidence.
'The time came for Clay to make his
defense. 1t was settled in the minds
af the spectators that the man was
guilty Of murder in the first degree.

proof before them in his mastery way,

THAT was all he said. but that was

some even Quailed on their seats. The
judge moved uneasily on his bench.
After fifteen minutes the jury filed
slowly back with Not guilty. your

Ancient Skyserapers.

Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made of the height of the tower
Of Babel, but one fact never has been
denied and that is that it was a sky
scraper. st. Jerome in his commen-
tary on Isaiah says that the tower
was already 1000 PAGES high when
God came down to stop the work. A
pace is about two and one-half feet;
therefore 1000 PAGES must be 10000
feet; consequently Babel was twenty
times as high as the pyramids (Which
are onlyNabout 500 feet. Father Cal
met says the tower was 1000 feet
high and that the languages were con-
founded because the architects were
confounded, as they did not know how
to bring the building to head. More.
over, it is understood that the Chinese
language Of today was originally the
same Language as the high German.

Taking Him at His WORD.

Joseph Jefferson in his biography
relates what was probably the last jest
of Artemus Ward. When the famous
wit lay dying in Southampton, he was
attended by his devoted friend Tom
Robertson, the author of "Caste," who
was also a friend of Jefferson.
s'Just before Wards DEATH" writes
Mr.. jefferson, Robertson poured out
some medicine in a glass and offered
it to his friend.
"Ward said:
"'My dear Tom, I can't take thai
dreadful stuff
"'Come, come said Robertson, tlrg-
ing him to swallow the nauseous drug.
There's a good fellow. Do, now, for
my sake. You know would do any
thing for you
"'Would you? said Ward, feebly
stretching out his hand to grasp his
friends, perhaps for the last time.
''T would indeed said Robertson.
"Then you take it, said Ward.

BATS and Vampires.

At sunset in the forest of Guiana the
bats fit from their hiding places, some
taking the place Of the parrots and
fockiug around the fruit trees, while
the horrid vampires wander far and
near in search of some sleeping ami
NAL, or even man, in order to obtain
a meal. Cows, goats, hogs, fowls as
well as game birds and quadrupeds all
suffer from their attacks if not Sc.

traveller must not be surprised wher
awaking to find blood oozing from
wound in his foot OF temple.

Napoleon Cot his Spanking.

During his exile at Elba Napoleon
related that one day his mothers
mother was hobbling along the street
In Ajaccio, Corsica. and that he and
his sister Pauline followed the old
lady and nlimicked her. Their grand
mother, happening to turn, caught
them in the act. She complained to
Nine. Letitia. Pauline was at once
spanked" and disposed of. Napoleon,
who was out in regimentals, could not
be handled. His mother bided her
time. Next day, when her son was OF
his guard, she cried: "Quick, Napo-
leon! You are invited to dine with the
governors" He ran up to his room to
change his clothing. She quietly fol-
lowed and when she judged that the
proper time had come rushed into the
room, seized her undressed hero before
he guessed her purpose, laid him across
the maternal knee and belabored him
earnestly with the fat Of her hand.

A Pretty Custom.

South American lovers have a pretty
custom. 1t is well known that when
the petals Of the great laurel magnolia
are touched, however lightly, the re-
suit is brown spot which develops in
a few hours. The fact is taken ad.
vantage of by the lover, who pulls a
magnolia flower and on one of it's pure
white petals writes motto or message
with a hard, sharp pointed pencil
Then he sends the flower, the young
Lady puts it in vase Of water, and in
three or four hours the message writ

Fair EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old One. -floV
IL is Done in Tucson.

The back aches at times with a dull.
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless: piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kidneys,
and again the loins are SO lame to
stoop is agony No use to rub or apply
a plaster to the back in this condi-

change the bad back for a new and
stronger one. Follow the example of
this Tucson citizen.

employed in the Southern Pacific r.

noticed kidney complaint and
since then at different times the ach-
ing has been almost constant. It was
just across the small of my back and
when not suffering from severe
twinges the stiffness and soreness
were so evident that I could scarcely
get up or down from a chair. In ad-
dition to the backache there were
headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness
at night which caused a tired and
depressed feeling the following day.

recommended when the last attack
was in the acute stage that I went to
Geo. Martins drug store on Congress
street for a box. 1t astonished me
how quickly they helped. "A continu-
alton Of the treatment stopped the ach
ing, removed the soreness and radical

The Lemon as q Toilet Article.

Apart from its use for beverage
and culinary aid the lemon may be
made to serve several other uses. A
little juice rubbed Oh the teeth oc-
casionally will prevent the accumula-
ton and remove the deposits of tartar,
and the juice is also said to prevent
chilblains; diluted with q little soft
water it is very cleansing to the scalp
and acts as tonic, and it removes
stains from the fingers and nails.
Mixed with equal parts of honey and
cologne it makes an agreeable whiten-
ing lotion for the hands and prevents
the nails from splitting and the skin
from growing over them.
A little fresh lemon juice, applied
after steaming or washing the face in
hot water, will loosen obstinate black
heads, and the lemon skins, after the
juice has been extracted for culinary
use, if tied in cheeseclOth and placed
in the water pitcher or bath will render
the skin very smooth, white and deli
cately fragrant. The juice Of a lemon,
taken in Il cup of hot water without
sugar before breakfast, is very helpful
in some cases of imperfect indigestion.

The what" asked her nearer,

The 'what-yOu-call-i habit! | mean
the habit of forgetting names and call
ing everybody Mrs. What-you-call-it,'
or Mr.. What's his-name' When you
meet so many people, with many of
whom you are barely acquainted, you
must learn to remember names, or
you'll make enemies. People don't
like to have their names forgotten. 1t
initiates them. It's an unspoken as
sertion of their insignificance."
But thought forgetting names was
a natural infrmity."
ut is supposed to be; but natural
infirmities, like other difficulties. you
know, are opportunities for the great!
You have 10 idea how much can be
done toward overcoming them"
1T sounds very heroic.'
"Of course. Without touch of the
heroic We become flabby or common
place, or both. 1t takes mental power
to overcome the 'what-yOu-call-it habit;
but once having wrestled with it and
conquered it, you realize the value
of available intelligence."-New York
