ments are the great sporting events
OF the year In the Japanese army.
The most popular pastime OF the
soldier in the field Is playing hanna
awase," a Japanese game of cards not
unlike whist. The cards are 4S In
number. II is more complicated than
whist and more diffcult to master.
The game of go" or Japanese dom
inoes, is also dear to the heart OF the
Japanese Bobby. Go" is played on q
board ruled of into a 100 little
squares. Small black and white stones,
cut into little disks, are used to fill
the squares. The rules of the game
appear quite complicated to the for
eigner. Shot," or japanese chess,
also is popular game.
The japanese camps impress the for
eigner as being very clean and order
ly. There is a marked absence of the
drunkenness and boisterous conduct so
common in the camps of European
armies. Yet the Japanese Bobby is
fond of his sake. The discipline is so
strict that Bobby does not dare to in
dulge his taste for sake except on rare
occasions.
In the evening, when circumstances
permit and the weather is pleasant,
the men gather around the campfire
and sing the quaint, monotonous Jap
anese folksongs. Perhaps some man
In the company has a samisen, II so,

is not profane. in which respect he
differs from almost every other soldier
in the world.

"BoNE.cABIN QUARRY"
The Greatest "Find' Of Extinct AMI
mails Ever Made In a Single Locality.

In Central Wyoming, at the head OF
a draw" or small valley. not far
from the Medicine Bow river, lies the
ruin of a small and unique building,
which marks the site of the greatest
find" of extinct animals made in a
single locality in any part of the world.
The fortunate fossil hunter who STUN
bled on this site was MIR. Walter
Granger, of the American Museum ex-
pedition of 1897.
In the spring of 1898, as l ap-
preached the hillock on which the
ruin stands, | observed, among the
beautiful flowers, the glooming cacti
and the dwarf bushes Of the desert,
what were apparently numbers or
dark-brOwn boulders. On closer exam
nation, 1t proved that there is really
not single rock. hardly even peb-
BILE, on this hillock; all these apparent
boulders are ponderous fossils which
have slowly accumulated or washed
out on the surface from n great dino
saur bed beneath. a Mexican sheep
herder had collected some of these
petrined bones for the foundations OF
his cabin, the first ever built of such
strange materials. The excavation of
a promising outcrop was almost imme-
diately rewarded by finding thigh
bone nearly six feet in length which
sloped downward into the earth, run
ming into the lower leg and finally in
to the foot, with all the respective
parts lying in the natural position as
in life. This proved to be the previ-
ously unknown hind limb of the great
dinosaur Diplodocus. In this manner
the "Bone-Cabin Quarry" was discov-
cred and christened.-From Henry

A Frogs Appetite.

The frogs capacity for enveloping
his comrades and assimilating them
was once shown by an incident which
occurred under the observation OF one
of my acquaintances. He had return
ed from the country with a lot of
frogs. large and small, which he had
obtained for one Of the New York
educational institutions. / have for
gotten how many frogs there were,
but they numbered over 90 | am
quite certain. These he put into q
large bird cage, the wires of which
were close enough together to pre-.
vent even the smallest from escap-
ing. On the third day he went to see
how his captives were doing and
found. greatly to his surprise, that all
had disappeared with the exception OF
TWO old "mossbacks." and they were
cycling each other askance, apparent.

'last survivor of the whole ships

sELF.sUPPoRTlNe OLD WOMEN.
Gray-Hared Grandmothers Who Find
Work for Their Feeble Hands.

The little grandmother in clean,
ctiff white apron. and gray hair SO
cmooth that it ceemed to be actually
stretched across her old brow, was
more offended than pleased to be told
that she was attractive because she
was old-fashioned. But old-fashioned
she certainly was. and attractive. too,
where few brave red geraniums
were growing, as she wound ball after
ball of strips of cloth for rag carpets.
In the same corner of part Of the
building in the West Side district OF
New York where the Charity Organi-
zation Society provides employment
for INDECENT women. sat half dozen
others, none of them as quaint nor as
"spick and span" as the little grand
mother, but all of them Just as busy
with the raw material for rag carpets.
And out of this charity work, de.
signed TO furnish an opportunity for
earning a little money to women not
strong enough for harder labor. has
grown quite an industry-the making
of rugs. 1t Is curious anomaly that
women who are among the poorest
and most helpless in the whole city
are important in the making of an
article that is constantly in demand
by the dealers Of the very highest
class who handle this sort of goods.
Remarkably pretty and very ser.
viceable are the rugs which are made
by these old women OF the West Side,
but l must give credit for that to Mr..
Hinsdale, who is manager Of this part
of the establishment. The rugs made
here are Of the sort that are desired
for the floors Of summer cottages, or
for rooms which are Atted with fur
niture of the mission style They are
woven as rag carpets are. but are
more carefully designed and made Of
better material. The old women have
only a part in the making OF the rugs,
as the cutting of the cloth and the
dyeing and weaving are done outside.
