CHINESE NEATNESS.

Next time you are in Chinatown. notice the finger nails of the inhabi- tants. You will be surprised, possibly to find that they are generally as clean and bright as though they had just come from the manicure;
 As are his finger nails, so is the rest of the Chinaman's body. It is one of the queer contradictions about this contradictory people that although their houses are usually surrounded by a large fringe of dirt and although they don't take to modern sanitation a bit. they are very cleanly in their personal habits.
 The daily bath Is an institution. A bathtub is not necessary. Your China man manages very well with a few cup fulls of water and wash rag.
 He completes his toilet by polishing his long nails. and every day or so he visits the barber. who slaves not only the scanty hair on his face, but alsd his head and the inside of his ears. If he can afford it the Chinaman puts on A clean blouse every day or two. It is no accident that these people are a nation of laundrymen. It comes to them naturally.
 Last summer a bunch of university students took a summer job on big California ranch. The regular hands had a good deal of fun over their hab. its of personal cleanliness
 "They're regular damn Chlnamen,' said the hands. Always washing themselves"

Plans and specifications for the same have been sent to the Department of Com merce and Labor and bids from archi- tects and contractors are requested. It is expected the enterprise will do a rushing business when work on the lsthmus gets under way, and as 1t is government, it will probably have a monopoly and should prove ex- tremely profitable to the government as we'll as to the performers.

The alligator, like the, bison of the western plains, is succumbing to the greed of man A few years ago the hide of the crocodile was discovered to be valuable and since that time the onslaught against him has been fast and furious. Officials of the Smithson- ian institution know that the alliga- tor cannot long escape practical ex- termination and they have taken steps to study the animal with a view to having him given chance to perpetu- ate himself. This is but another in stance of the way the federal govern ment is constantly reaching out for the protection of that which nature gave the country and the people. but which is constantly menaced by the greed for gold. Is the alligator to suf- fer the fate of the bison and the fur bearing seal:I Not if the scientific staff of the Smithsonian institution can prevent 1t. His hide is too valu- able.

At the youthful age of 19 he finished the course at Miami. Of course he then taught school. Is there any young man in America who has risen" that did not preface his career with school teaching? Young Whitelaw taught, be it recorded, that he might reimburse his father for the money given him the last year at college.
 At 20 he began work in the field in which he was to make such an honor able name, namely. newspaper labors. He began as proprietor. bought and edited the Xenia News.
 His hero at this time was Horace Greeley; the Xenia News was mod eled after the New York Tribune. It is rather interesting to note that the sheet he looked upon as ideal. later

ORNAMENTAL TROLLEY POLES

Among various specialties now pro- duced in trolley road supplies and equipment are ornamental poles. When trolley railroads were first built the poles used everywhere for supporting the wire were of the simplest and plainest sort. The first were of wood, iron coming later.
 But when the trolley had come to be established in use and the sight of the trolley poles had become familiar, it was felt in many localities that bare poles standing in long ranges, often along fine residence streets, as we'll as in business thoroughfares, were not slightly objects, and there was begun the manufacture of ornamental poles, which are now made in considerable variety and are widely used.
 The columns of these ornamental poles are of better finish and appear ance than the original iron poles, and under the arm projecting from the top to support the trolley wire, extending from the pole to the end of the arm, Is placed an ornamental bracket of scroll work or other design. The effect is to do aWay with the succession of bare, unsightly poles and substitute in place of them a succession of forms of grace for in their brackets, at least many of the ornamental poles are of graceful conception. making them ob- jects agreeable to the eye.
 These ornamental poles are made single, with single arm and bracket for single track roads, or for side poles, or they are for double track roads, made with two arms, in such case single line of columns being set along the middle of the street, with the ornamental brackets projecting on either side They are finished painted or galvanized.
 Such ornamental poles are now pro- l duced in various stock designs from | which selection may be made; but they are also sometimes made to or der from special designs supplied by | the builders of the roads along which | they are to be set up.
 American ornamental poles for troll ley equipment are sold not only in this country, but in Europe. South America. Japan-in all parts of the l world, wherever trolley cars are used.

BATH OF THE ELEPHANTS.

There was great tide in Coney Island creek yesterday. Pete Barlow went in for a swim. Pete is small and would scarcely increase the level of the water in a bathtub, but whek he goes in seventeen of his elephant charges follow him. The last strsx- gIers from the Saturday night crowd were just making their way into ConeJ Island when silently and stealthily i'll single file seventeen elephants with Pete in the van stole out the back gate of Luna park and headed for the creek at Neptune avenue. With each elephant was keeper. Tic process sion nearly developed into stampede when the animals got near the water. Little June, the baby of the herd, gave Maynard, her keeper. a particularly interesting trip. When the kid reach ed Sea Breeze avenue she started with a tr,impctiDg that cCuid be heard for Blocks, across country on run, with Maynard hot on the trail. A branch of the creek crosses Sea Breeze aven- ue, and into it June, trunk first, Tell with a splash. Maynard in his eX- citement lost his foothold on the bank and followed. Both emerged wet anu dripping on the other side
 They say that the elephants all love Barlow, and this was plainly eyiden- ced when on getting into the creek the seventeen simultaneously filled utheir trunks with water and turned seven- teen streams on their little trainer. Pete says that this proved the unsel- fishness of the elephants. They did not want to bask in the water them- selves and have him stand dry and solitary on the bank. The elephants bath lasted for perhaps an hour and before it was finished every one of the seventeen keepers had been we'll and thoroughly ducked.-New York Sun.

Cincinnati Gazette wanted a daily let ter from young MT. Reid, and his price rose to SIS a week. When the legisla- tive session came to close. he ac- cepted the position of city editor of the Cincinnati Gazette, and kept 1t until the opening of the civil war.
 As war correspondent he had op. portunity of which he made much, and 'hfs letters, signed "Agate." were lar famed. His war experience c0v- cred the first and second campaigns in West ,rginia. He was in the Ten nessee campaign, was present at Fort Donelson, and left sick bed to wit ness the battle of Pittsburg Landing.
 In 1862 MT. Reid became Washing ton correspondent for the Gazette. Here he made the acquaintance of Horace Greeley. and a close friend ship sprang up between the two men.
 At the close of hostilities he tray. eled and wrote the book After the War: A Southern Tour" While In the south he was induced to engage in the business of cotton planting. He remained some time in the south, but while playing cotton-planter he also used his pen, and wrote the volumi- nous and careful volumes on Ohio in the War" We next hear of him in Washington, called there by the i'm peachment trial of President Johnson. Horace Greeley now became addition ally impressed with his friends abil- ities, and gave him repeated invita- tions to join the stan of the Tribune. He accepted, served first as editorial writer, then managing editor, and. when Mir. Greeley was nominated. as editor in chief. After Mir. Greeley died there was such confidence in Mir. Reid he was given full control of the paper.
 It was no bed of roses that now { confronted him, but heavy task, the restoring to once popular paper lost prestige. A writer in the Chicago Chronicle says he accomplished it not by retrenchment, but by lavish ex. penditure, not by going backward. but oy making the Tribune a far better paper than it had been before, and by devoting about IS hours out of the 2i | to his task Tt was a task which nothing but grit and grip and high enthusiasm could have made support able"
 Mir. Reid for three years served as our minister to France.
