Chinese inns are without register eA
clerks. On riding through the gateway
your bride rein is seized by dirty
boy, who helps you to dismount, shout,
ing loudly meanwhile for the proprie@
tor, who presently looms up through
the wilderness Of carts and mules. Pro-
prietor and boy then hold parley as
to what rooms are eligible, and then q
door is pushed open and the traveller Ia
shown to his apartment. 1t is usually
about twelve feet square. The walls
and floor are of hard mud, and so are
the beds, which extend entirely across
the side of the room, with only space
enough between them for small table
and one chair. The room is lighted by
one window, in which paper takes the
place of glass.
The first duty of the proprietor I'm
making a patron comfortable is to stop
up the holes in the paper window pane.

TOOK DOWN THE WALL.
Drum-AInlzer Made Bass That Was
Too Big 10 Get Through
the Door.

II was in the days when big bass
drums were in vogue, and the bigger
they could be made the more they
were appreciated, says the Baltimore
Sun. 1t was a common thing then
to see a great bass drum moving
along behind the band, apparently on
q pair of little legs, vigorously pound
ed by little arms and completely hid
ing the man. There was great ri
valry among the bands to have the
largest drum, and the makers would
stretch the skin to the fullest extent
TO make it cover the barrel Of the
largest circumference.
One ambitious drum maker, deter
mined TO outdo all previous perform
anoes, got his material together in a
back room of his little one-eye house
on a narrow street and built his
drum. 1t was the largest, certainly,
that had ever been constructed, and
its tone was as deep and sonorous as
a cathedral gong There it stood the
pride of East Baltimore and a monu-
nent to the fame of the engineer
who constructed Il. But unfortu-
nately, the engineer had failed TO
take measurements of the door and
window. The small room was nearly
filed with the immensity Of the prod
net Of his laborious zeal in a good
cause. But it was of no earthly use
there. and TO land it on solid earth
the maker was finally obliged to re-
move part Of the wall, and the cost
Of this Caesarean operation greatly
reduced the profits Of the production.

CRANBERRY FLOWERS.
Beauties of "A bog blossom with
which But Few of Us Are
Familiar.

One of the daintiest of wild flowers
of June is the blossom of that time
honored concomitant of roast turkey,
the cranberry. While, however, ev-
erybody knows the berry, few are ac-
quainted with the flower, for the peat
Dogs where it blows in the choice fell
lowship of the stately pitcher plant
and the golden club, and of many a
rare orchid, are quite remote from
the beaten paths of travel, says Coun-
try Life in America.
The cranberry plant is a small,
slender, somewhat trailing shrub,
with the neatest of evergreen leaves,
from amid which a few threadlilSe
stalks lift their nodding flowers.
When fully expanded the pink lobes
of each corolla are curled back like a
lily's, and from the heart of them
the compressed stamens protrude in
the shape of a spear-point or beak.
The imaginative may see in this long
beaked little blossom a resemblance
to tiny cranes head, whence some
hard-pressede etymologist has thought
to derive the word cranberry-that
Is, crane-berry.
Those who like to make place on
the home table for oddities and rari-
ties Of the plant world may well in
clude in their list for June a few
sprays of the cranberry vine in
bloom-tbe unfamiliar, alert bios
soms looking brightly out from their
green bower, being sure to delight all
flower-loving visitors.

PUZZLE THE WOMEN.
lntive ARnira Are Bewildering
to Women visitors.

Two ladies from Massachusetts,
we're in the senate gallery one day re-
Gently when their escort, who was
showing them various objects Of in
terest, pointed out the desks Of seDa-
tors Hoar and Lodge, says the Wash
ington Star.
"The desks, you see," said the inn
promptu guide, care next to each
other"
"Oh," exclaimd one Of the ladies, "I
know now what it means when it is
said that senators are paired"
Stories of the mistakes which wom-
en- make concerning public matters are
always current at the capitol. The
other day an eastern Congressman re-
ceived letter from a lady in his dis
trict who asked him to look after her
nephew. "IIs is a secretary in the cab
met or something of the sort" wrote
the lady, and the congressman finally
found him acting as clerk to q very
subordinate official in the treasury de-
partment. The capitol guides tell the
story of the woman who, when told the
vice president presided over the senate
said that she always wanted to see
Bryan.
"But Bryan is not vice president,
explained the guide.
81 thought he was" replied the lady
"because he got almost as many votes
as Mckinley"
And there is still another story o.
the woman visitor to the capitol VIII,
asked the name of the secretary o.
state.
'Mr. Hay" was the reply.
"Mr. Hay?" queried the woman, II
surprise. "That can't be, because Mr.
| Hay is member of the cahinetl"
