A correspondent at ithaca, n. Y,
sends the Record the following street
car incident: One of the last sharp No
vember days a boy entered the car
leaving the door open, much to the dis
comfort of an old gentleman who sat
next. As the wind chilled his marrow
his temper rose. Leaning across his seat
and taking the kid by his ear, he said;
''Were you brought up in a barn? Why
don't you shut the doorY The boy said
nothing. but closed the door, coming
back to his seat in tears. This sight

Marriage Is a Lottery.

Marriage is truly lottery TO the
Chinese girl, for she knows not what
she is getting until she IS actually mar
ried," writes Sui Sin Fa-, in the Ladies
Home Journal. Sometimes it is a kind,
good husband. an amiable mother-in-
law, and much comfort sometimes it is
a tyrant, mother-in-law who is eter-
Dally scolding. and life that is wear
mess to both flesh and spirit The cere-
monies of betrothal and marriage cause
much trouble and anxiety. The young
mans family begin the negotiations.
They engage a go-between to call on
the girls family and tender proposal
Of marriage. IL the young man is con-
sidered eligible by the girls parents
they consult a fortune-teller, who de
cides whether the betrothal would be
proper If his decision is favorable the
go-between is given card on which
is marked the hour, day, month and
year when the girl was born. This is
delivered to the young mans family,
who in their turn consult a fortune
teller. If he also prOnonnces favorable
4 festival is held by both families, the
betrothal contract is signed. and the
bridegroom makes a present to the
bride of pair of bracelets, but neither
he nor she is present. The betrothal,
however, is not considered binding until
n pasteboard card has been interchang-
ed by the families. The bridegroom's
family provide two of these cards, one
having gilt dragon ON its face, the
other a gilt phoenix. The phoenix card
is retained by the young mans family
as evidence Of his engagement, while
the dragon card is kept by the girls
family. The betrothal is then complete"

CHAPTER XIX.

The arrival in Millwal Docks of q
Swedish steamer from Gothenburg was
not an event sufficiently rare to create
excitement on that account alone, vet the
excitement in the midst of which two
gentlemen landed from the Gung Ring
was no new thing, as they understood
well; though it was quite apart from
that inevitable noise and seeming confu-
sion with which every vessel is hailed into
an English port.
IF | had been brought here blind
folded" said the elder man, speaking in
a low, refined tone, while the jargon and
the patois went on around them, Il
should not have distinguished this as the
English shore"
"An the better" said Mark Poynz,
promptly. while he led his companion to-
ward the cab which had been called for
him. II do not wish you quite yet TO
feel that you are at home in England
Even if we are detained in town for a
longer time than we expect" he added.

Lord KeSt0n's companion was a man
Of little more than forty years of age.
yet the stoop in his narrow shoulders,
his scanty hair, ana the dreamy, inlook
ing expression of his eyes, gave the i'm
preston Of a much older man. A strong
contrast he was to Mark; vet there was
some strange, subtle resemblance in the
voices Of the two men. uninterfered with
even by the slightly foreign accents Of
the stranger. This resemblance struck
Mark himself later on. as they stood be-
fore the fire in a private sitting room at
their hotel. talking earnestly and thought
fully; and he spoke OF it at last with 2
little amusement While his companion
paused before answering. with nervous
hesitation which seemed habitual to him.

ABOUT SHERLOCK HOLMES.


Swiss Guides Show the Spot Where
lie Died.
Swiss guides are gravely pointing out
to British tourists the exact spot at
which Sherlock Holmes met his death.
A well-known traveller last evening told
an Express representative the funny
way in which this tradition began
1T began shortly after Conan Doyle
hadwritten the story telling of Holmes
death at the hands of Professor Mortar
ty. l and a friend who had been very
interested in the series of the detec-
tive's adventures We're travelling in
Switzerland. We had been crossing
the Brunig Pass from Lucerne toward
Interlaken, and we stopped over one
night in Meiringen.
THE next day we were going over
the Crosse Schiedegg, and what was
more natural than TO make a little de-
tour from the regular path to see the
Falls of Reichenbach, where Professor
Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes had
their fatal encounter, according to Co
nan Doyle? We took a guide to show
US the place. and we had no difficulty
in imagining the exact spot where
Holmes fell. and we even picked out
the last piece OF ground on winch he
stood Meantime our guide stood by,
apparently stolid and not paying any
attention TO what we were saying.
Last September / was again in
Switzerland. and GOT to Melringen
again. At the edge Of the village
saw the customary army of guides, and
among them the chap had patronized
some years before l hired him again,
and he pointed out to me the various
places Of interest. But you can mag
Inc my surprise when he suddenly turn
ed and said: And this. sir. is the place
where Monsieur Sherlock Holmes, the
great English detective, was died.
ITO my establishment, he went over
the whole story, and finally picked out
the spot where my friend and |. in
speculation. decided that Holmes and
Aforiarty had vanished
The guides very soon viii be relating
the story from the point CT view Of an
eye-witness.-Lond0n Express

since the days of the Pan-Germanic OBJ

The cause OF the disgraceful scene was

retorted: 1T was nevertheless a swim

hereupop shouted: You socialists are
all vagabonds and swindlers." The
greatest confusion prevailed, and the
president persistently rang his bell.
The following elegant dialogue was
heard above the din:

Gessman-You are all a pack of
thieves. You common fellows lie about
your past
Elenbogen-Nou steal kreutzers from

ask for our rights.
Cries were now heard from the so
ciatsts: Turn out the impudent
Jew" A scufie began between the
two contending parties. and efforts
We're made TO separate them. The
president called them to order and
asked; Are you not ashamed thus to
degrade the dignity of the house?"

You belong to the Wurstel Prater-(a

This astonishing scene was brought
to close by a voice loudly quoting
from Goethe's ''Gotz W Berlichin-

tumult, and caused so much surprise
that the noise ceased and business pro-
ceeded.-Vienna Correspondence Lon
