Mythical Creatures OF J.pan


The japanese believe In more mythi.
cal creatures than any other people on
the globe. civilized or savage. Among
them are mythical animals without
any remarkable peculiarities of con-
formation, but gifted with supernatur-
al attributes. such as tiger which ia
said TO live to be thousand years old
and to turn as white as a polar bear
They also believe In a multitude of
animals distinguished mainly by their
monstrous size or by the multiplication
of thoir members.
Among these are serpents eight hum
dred feet long and large enough to
swallow an elephant, foxes with eight
legs, monkeys with four cars, fishes
with ten heads attached to one body
the flesh of which is a cure for boiIs
They also believe in the existence of
crane which, after it has reached the
age Of six hundred years, has no need
of any sustenance except water.

a corncob contentedly, refectively and
reminiscently. AS he puffed he asked
the question:
"Who was the first white man to
make a corncob pipe? Do you know"
No" Then the negro told this story:
at was Andrew Jackson, President
of the United States. A man by the
name of st. Armand was a soldier I'M
der Jackson when he was Major Gen
eral at New Orleans. At the time that
Jackson used bales of cotton for pro
tecting his army he was found smok-
ing a corDcob and said he had made
it himself. This was when Colonel
Thornton, OF the British regulars, made
his attack on Jackson"
A relative of the speakers, Henry
GueSno, who went to New York city
first man to make corncob pipes for
sale. 1t was in 1867, when he was en-
ployed by a man named Mayrone in
New Orleans. Mayrone had been his
owner in the days of slavery and came
upon Guesno one day when he was
whiting a pipe and asked him why
he didn't make them to sell The old
style corncob had long been an institu-
ton Of the Southern negro, but not of
merchantable article. The interrog.
atory of Mayrone set Guesno thinking
with the result that in the fall of 1867,
at Mechanics and Agricultural Assn-
cations fair Of the State Of Louisiana
held in New Orleans. he exhibited
number Of pipes, all OF which had
ready sale. One Objectionable feature
was that the bowl burned out very
quickly. GueSno consulted a well
known chemist. with the result that
a harmless chemical composition was
applied which infinitely prolonged the
life OF the corncob and which to-day
is being used in its manufacture. In
the days Of Guesno 1t was said he re-
ceived as high as S25 for pipe which
to-day can be bought for nickel

He was made a captain OF the
Eighth United States in December,
1852, was transferred to the pay de-
partment in 1853 and, while on a leave
of absence in 1861, resigned from the
service OF the United States to accept
brigadier generals commission in the
Confederate army.
He commanded a brigade at the first
battle of Bull Run, and it has been said
that 1t was owing to his generalship
that the Union forces were defeated.
Having been promoted to a major gen.
eralcy, he took part in the seven days
battles around Virginia, and at the sec
ond battle of Bull Run, when In COM
mand Of the First Corps OF the Army Of
Northern Virginia, came to the relief
Of Stonewall Jackson when he was
hard pressed by Pope's army, and. by
determined charge in the flank, saved
the day for the Confederates and made
IT possible for them to claim q victory
In what the Union forces never called
more than a drawn battle.
At Gettysburg he commanded the
right wing of the Army of Northern
Virginia. He was wounded by his own
troops in the battle of the Wilderness,
but he was soon with his troops again
and commanded the First Corps Of
Lees army in all the battles OF 1864
and up to the surrender at Appomattox
In 1865.
After the war he was first In bust

him successfully Federal positions, in

no force on earth could have withstood

General Gordon was prominent in
the negotiations for Lees surrender at
Appomattox. At the close of the war
he returned to Georgia and to his law
practice. Declining to allow the use
of his name for Governor on the Dem
ocratic ticket he nevertheless received
a large majority of the popular vote.
Under the conditions, however, his OPP
ponent, X. B. Bullock, was declared
elected. In 1873 he was elected to the
United States Senate and returned
again in 1879. He resigned in 1880 to
raise money for the construction of
the Georgia Pacific Railroad. He was
elected Governor Of Georgia in 1886.
reelected in 1888, and was returned
to the United States Senate in 1890.
He declined a reelection and of late
years had devoted himself to lectur-
ing, in which field he was widely pop
ular.
General Gordon's years of service in
the Senate were brilliant and states
manlike. He was the idol of all Con
federate veterans, and at the time of
his death was their commander-in-
chief.

SKEE SPORT IN NORTHWEST.
1t La Replacing Snowshoes as Means
of Travel.


During the last ten years skeeing has
grown to be almost as much Of a win
ter sport in the northern and north
western states as tobogganing i'll Can
ada, says Country Life in America.
Where the snowfall, as in Oregon,
Nevada, Michigan and Wisconsin, lies
on the ground for weeks together, to
the depth of several feet, skees virtual
ly become the life-preservers of the in
habitants. They furnish the only
means by which the mail carriers can
reach the inaccessible and outlying
mountain districts of the Rockies.
Skees differ radically from the Cana
dian or Indian snowshoe. They are
about seven feet long, four inches
broad and taper from an inch thick
at the center to three-Quarters.
The western skee runner can cover
on an average about four to eight miles
an hour, going up and down hill.
Downhill an experienced runner can
let himself go, but for beginner it
would be like turning on a clutch valve
of an automobile without knowing
where the break was.
Skees were first known to have been
used in the thirteenth century. Eight
centuries passed before the trappers,
lumbermen and wood choppers OF
America learned the vast superiority
of the skee over the Canadian snow
shoe. In century more the latter
will be looked at in museums as the
clumsy implement of the bygone age
The great event of the skeeing clubs
of the Western States is the jumping
contest. Only a skee-runner knows the
sensation. Below, the endless hill
seems to stretch on forever in the ex-
panse of the valley, the steepness of
of the incline lost in its wilderness.
A long breath and you start. Faster
and faster you go, till suddenly a
flash of green III front and the jump
off is coming. Crouchingu until your
knees almost touch your skees, with
muscles strained, out into the air you
sail.
A strange lightness and feebleness
take possession of your limbs and your
spirit shares the intoxication of soar
ing into space. After long seconds you
are called back to earth, first for half
a second softly, but then hard as iron
that seems to give you an electric
shock. You wabble helplessly from
right to left, each foot seems glued to
the ground and still in the air, but you
have kept your balance and are shoot
ing forgard. At last you catch your
one. You are master of the field with
jump of hundred feet or more,
and finish the victorious course in a
neatly rSunded curve
If the present enthusiasm for skee-
ing in America continues the great win
ter carnivals of Canada may some day
be rivaled by a great American skee
race similar to the famous one held
every winter outside the Norwegian
capital.
