On the third day of the third month
eomes the Japanese festival of dolls.
Some of tthe dolls that appear on the
scene among the dwellers in the Land
of Chrysanthemums are over a hun
dred years old, and at least three
days are given up to festivities. Some
are dressed like the Mikado and his
wife; and many of the old dolls are
surrounded by the furniture in mini
ature in keeping with the same period,
and dolls feast is yearly prepared,
when the small bowls and cups are
filed with anything that dolly may
require in the way of good fare, com
bined with harmeless drinks. But,
after the three days are over, dolly
returns once more to the sanctity of
private life.-Beacon.

Little But Speedy.

Strangers at the union station. who
oftimes see coming in side by side y
Northwestern passenger pulled by a
massive engine and an Iowa Central
train, hauled by smaller locomotive,
are inclined to turn up their noses at
the smaller road and speak about
"dinky' engines. For the benefit OF
those who are not posted on how fast
an Iowa Central passenger engine can
run, q little test of speed that was
made recently may be of interest. One
night not long ago. Iowa Central pas
senger No. g. which had been delayed,
rounded the curve east of the city at
the point where the Northwestern and
Central tracks begin to parallel one
another for quite a stretch. Just as
the Central struck the straight track
the Northwestern overland limited
hove in sight from the east. 1t was
but little ways behind the Central
train and in short time was even
with it, The engineer of the limited
didn't expect to see the train again
that night, and was surprised when he
noticed, a moment or two later, that
the two engines We're even. neither ap-
parently making any Roadway over the
other. This continued until both
stopped at the station. The engineer
of the limited got off his engine, Went
over to the smaller locomotive and
sized her up, saying. 'Ill be

trail engineer in charge OF the 46, one
of the new passenger engines that was
built in the shops here, replied that
that was nothing, as he hadn't had her
more than half open.

The Mexican Heaven.

The ancient Mexican idea of heaven,
hell and the after state of souls is ex-
tremeIy curious and interesting. Ac-
cording to their notions souls neither
good nor bad, or whose virtues and
vices balanced each other, Were to en-
ter medium state Of idleness and
empty content The wicked or those
dying any Of long list of different
modes of death (Which list was sacred
ly kept by the priests) went to Meitlau,
q distant hall within the bowels of the
earth. The souls Of those struck by
lightning or of those dying by any of
a given list Of diseases, also the souls
Of children, were transported to re-
mote elysium called Tlalocan.
The actual heaven was reserved for
warriors who fell in battle, for women
who died in defense of their children,
for those offered as sacrifice in the
temples and for few others. After
death, according to their belief, the
soul passed immediately to the "house
of the sum-" their chief god, whom
they accompanied for long term of
years in his circuit around the sky,
honoring him with song, dances and
other forms Of revelry. Then. being
terminated in the form of birds of
brilliant plumage, they lived as beau
tiful songsters among the flowers,
among the stars, sometimes on earth,
sometimes in heaven.

the account of the long hunt
of the old gray wolf, whose
wit for many months successfully
matched mans, and whose fate came
at last so pathetically and so sadly like
