LEOPARDS IN HARNESS.

Leopards have been used with goou results for hauling light cannon in sev- eral recent African campaigns. For all hauling purposes they are said to rival the famous army mule for patience and all round utility The leopard was first introduced for draft work in Upgoto in German East Africa, but they have proved so valuable that their use is likely to spread widely A single able bodied leopard, properly broken, it is said, will haul an ordinary noun tains field piece, or a similar weight of ammunition or provisions for cam paign. They are not particular about their food and will work all day with but one meal. In the jungle marches this is, of course, great advantage.
 The leopards are broken to harness when very young. The difficulties of tanning a full grown leopard to such wNrk are too great to make them of any practical value. The leopard cubs are usually broken by the natives. After few months work in harness they become remarkably docile, mind ing the rein and stopping or starting at the word of command. They are usually hitched up in a simple leather harness, and do not carry bit, but a tight band about the mouth enables one to guide them readily. They are sold to the soldiers for money or in ex- change for clothing, beads, glass or similar trifles. Properly harnessed, it is said that a leopard could no more run away than he could change his spots

IRISH sCHOOLNnAsTER COMING

Seumas McNanus, the Irish school master writer of Donegal character tales, who has recently brought out a long novel, "A Lad of the O'Friels," /" has the regular fighting Irish spirit, says McClure's Magazine. He is a strong patriot, and on every matter concerning Ireland and Ireland's rights he is very militant-so much so that the government authorities of Donegal think him a troublesome character and give him quite a good deal of their at- tention. MT McManus is restive un- der the restraint and it IS said plans to come to America, as many good Irishmen have come before him. He visited America several years ago and had phenomenal success with his lit erary ventures, and he feels that he will find peace and a friendly public here. MT McManus is particularly a diligent student of the Irish language, and has ent enthusiastically worked to spread the study of it. His young wife, Aethna Carberry, who died eight months after they were married, was quite as much of an enthusiast on the same subject, and the pathetic little introduction to "A Lad of the O'Friels'' which MT McManus writes to her, Is in Celtic.

THE JAPANESE QUARANTINE.
It's Just About the Strictest in the
 World

World.
 While on the subject of quarantine ln this part of the world, mention must be made of the methods in vogue in up-to- date Japan. The quarantine regula- tions of that country are largely mod eled after those of the United States, as are their quarantine stations. The quarantine rules are most strict, as they necessarily must be with Chinese and COrean pestilence centers only two or three days away by steamer and much commerce being carried on by the Japanese with ports on the main land. The Japanese are thoroughly imbued with the idea that 1t costs less in lives and money to keep out a disease than to stamp it out after it has once secured a foothold. For this req son, and possibly also because they feel that their modern civilization is on test with foreign nations they carry out their quarantine rules with strictest detail. On entering a Japtnese har- Dor boatload of quarantine doctors comes alongside, their quarantine launch being equipped with micro scope and accessories for the purpose of making any desired bacteriolog1cal animation on the spot. Bseides their own language, each of these doctors is able to speak at least one foreign tongue. so that English, French, Ger man, Russian, Chinese and other na- tionalities can be questioned in their own language. Every passenger and member of the crew is lined up on deck called by name and the total number verified. While this is going on, the other physicians pass along the line, feel every mans pulse, make him put out his tongue, and if, he shows any ap- pearance of sickness they produce thers mometers and take his temperature. Nothing escapes them and 1t is use- less to try the old dodge of sending q man around the deck house to be count ed twice, for the place where every man not in the rank can be found must be stated, and these men are in- spected and their condition verified while the count on deck is going on. It is also useless to expect that the con- dition of sick man sent on deck, will not be noted. Such men are set aside an d carefully gone over by several of the quarantine doctors in way which show their proficiency in the latest methods of diagnosing appliances. The disinfecting stations, as already men, toned, are modelled after those of the United States, but the Japanese go us one better, in that, after the bath, any drinks desired except champagne are served to the first class passengers at the expense of the Japanese govern ment So careful are the quarantine regulations observed in Japan that complete inspection of the crew is car ried out even where vessels are mak- ing short runs from one port in Japan. Thus vessel touching at Nagasaki and arriving at Kobe day later would be again completely inspected and returning at once to Nagasaki would be reinspected at the latter port with every detail required in the original inspection made on arrival from Shanghai or other inspected port.- Manila letter to Medical Record,

Considerable comment has been caused in political and official circles of Washington by the publication in the New York Sun of an, attack upon President Roosevelt for his course against the trusts. Beginning with the assertion that the president was above all others politician, and was bending every effort to obtain a nomira ton, the editorial proceeded to say that MT Roosevelt had, in his attacks upon wealth, exceeded the widest threat of populism. The attack caused the ad- ministration republicans of the capitol to gasp, for they were not on the in side of the game and they thought it meant war on Roosevelt and the ad- ministration from the combined capi- tai and Wall street interests and also nominations next year. They did not know that it was a part of the play by the tariff interests to scare Roosevelt and stop any further attack on the trusts by his administration. Although his assault so far on the trusts have been popgun attacks and have not in the least injured them, yet the trusts want him to let them severe Iy alone and do nothing that will in any way attract attention to them whether they are hurt or not. In order to do this they are trying to frighten him and his friends.

200 CHORUS GIRLS.

Besiege a New London Lunch Counter
 for Something to Eat. -..
 People who happened to be in the union station after 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon had free entertainment of an interesting character. The 1:05 ex- press from New York was run in two sections to accommodate the rush of theatrical people. In the first section there were a large number of show people who made business lively at the lunch counter. That was only a starter for what was to come.
 The second section consisted of seven cars which contained the Beauty and the Beast" company, that has just fin ished its engagement at Boston. There was also a large contingent of people from "The Country Girl' company The moment that train arrived at the station there was a mad rush for the lunch counter and in less time than it takes to tell 1t there were about POO people, mostly girls, tring to get a bite to eat.
 The girls were frisky as well as hungry and they had gay time. They climbed on the stools and used the top of the radiators as tables. Tn front of the lunch counter there was a crowd about ten deep, each one of whom wanted to be waited on first. By the time the train pulled out almost every thing eatable in the place was gone.- New London Telegraph.

Speaking of England's hard luck in Africa, from Egypt to the Transvaal, a writer tn Golfers says that what with fanatics who achieve heaven through a violent death and Fuzzy Wuzzies who are disinclined to shoot up their blood relations, the Mad Null Iah has proved a formidable and relent- less foe. The latest disaster comes from Somaliland, which the British have for a long time been trying to pacify. The Mad MulIah's mission in life is to preach the gospel according to his lights and to cut up, destroy and annihilate British and Egyptian troops sent to remonstrate with him. On April he caught Major Plunkett, with com mand of two hundred Sikhs and Afri- can rifles, at Gumburru, which is somewhere in the center of Somali- land. Nine British officers and nearly the entire force of native troops were killed. "Ran out of ammunition and fought with the bayonet until over- Whelmed," reads the dispatch. HadJ1 Mohammed Abdullah, the Mad Mullah, only achieved political prominence a few years ago. After pilgrimage to Mecca( which may or may not have consisted of a trip to Fertnghi rife manufactories) he returned to the des- ert to revive the religious spirit of the tribesmen and back up his new creed with Martinis and patent ammunition which he had in great plenty. A bold man and prophet (who possessed rifies), the fame of the Mad Mullah extended into Absynnia; the tribes to the number of SO,0OO insane men gath cred to his standard and in 1899 with an army at his heels, he declared war" on the British invader. Then be- gan the Somaliland campaign.

The charges against Police Officer Mansfield have fallen fiat, just as has been predicted from the start by those who were not biased. Every fair-mind- ed man realizes that Officer Mansfield was in a trying position. He is young man and a new officer on the force, and it can be said that he has come out of the affair with colors fly ing. Tt is said that the board split on party lines in voting on the disposition of the charges. We are somewhat surprised that the republican members should stand back of charges present ed by a disgrunt1ed democrat in the person of Benjamin Sedgwick. The charges were presented in his name, but Colonel Burpee has admitted That they were collected by the trolley com pany and turned over to the alliance. The representatives of the company, no doubt discovered the weakness of the allegations and washed their hands of the whole affair by turning it over to the alliance, and Ben Sedg- wick was made the scapegodt of that body. The verdict pleases nearly ev- erybody, with the exception perhaps of the two ''Bens." It Is to be hoped that after this they will attend to their legitimate business if they have any and not try to ferret out neglect of duty against police officer where none exists. There is no need of a self-appointed detective force in Wa tersbury and those who think there is and act on that thought are only mak- ing discord and trouble among people that want to be peaceful and law
