being for the most part smooth
faced and all with black hair, they
look like boys IA to 16 years of age.
They are thrifty, nimble, alert,
quick of motion, jovial, peaceable
and inoffensive. They comprise
the largest part of the railway sec
ton crews, and many of them work
in the construction gangs. In the
cities they are engaged to do man
ual labor of many kinds, also as
house servants, cooks or walters in
hotels and restaurants, while some
of them run restaurants on their
own account-as proprietors. Many
of the young Japs attend school
where they are attentive, studious
and as proficient as American youth.
There are few Chinese in Wash
ington or Oregon, and those few,
we suppose, were residents in the
states before the Chinese Exclusion
act was passed. Over in British
Columbia, however, the situation as
affected by the yellow peril" is the
reverse of what it is in the coast
states. There are scarcely any
Japs in Canada but Cinnamon are
numerous. There are also quite a
number of Chinese women there,
stubbing around on their deformed
feet. The government restricts the
immigration of the Chinese, not by
exclusion as in the states, but by
imposing heavy poll tax. Every
Chinaman who enters the country
to work or engage in trade must
pay the government $500 for the
privilege. Here John Chinaman
cultivates his pigtail to perfection.
1t is his principal adornment and
ornament. The Chinese dude de-
votes as much time and attention
to his pigtail as the American dude
| does to his necktie. He cult1vateS
the thing until, hangingi down, it
reaches the ground. If his hair is
not long enough to satisfy his am
bilious desire he braids in with it
hanks of black silk and with such
deftness you cannot tell where the
hair ends and the silk predomi-
mates. This blacksnake pigtail is
often in Johns way when he is at
work. Then he winds it several
times around his body. The Ca
nucks, however, do not have any
more respect for a Chinaman than
the Americans do and John not only
often gets his leg pulled" over
there but oftener his pigtail.

Disasters Go in Pairs.

some will deny that It Is SO, but it seems
to be a fact that horrors. accidents and

in the news columns OF an account OF a
curious accident at Melrose. Mass. an ac-
.cident. which, as far as we recollect, VAS
a novelty in the way OF disasters. An
express wagon passing through tho
crowded streets of Mclrose was partly
loaded with dynamite packed In boxes
While crossing tho sreet-ear tracks one
OF these boxes was joslled from the
wagon ana fell upon the track. The
driver not knowing that he had lost a
