At the Roman festivals of the god
Janus, held on the calends of January,
gifts and good wishes We're exchanged,
friends met together, and feasting and
dancing, masking and mumming were
the order of the day. January derives
its name from the god Janus, who was
represented with two faces looking in
opposite directions, as the month was
considered both to look back upon the
past year and forward to that which
was coming.

CHINESE ART IN STONE.
Its Best Examples and Some of It's
Greatest Defects.

Its Best Examples and Some of It's
Greatest Defects.
The spirit of purely Chinese art In
stone is shown in work such as the
great monolith figures of animals and
warriors which flank the approach to
the tombs of the Ming dynasty and in
the perfectly plain structures designed
for the tombs of the present dynasty.
These are composed Of enormous
blocks Of stone brought with infinite
labor from distant quarries over roads
and bridges which are hardly capable
Of sustaining ordinary cart traffic and
have always to be specially prepared
to prevent the great weights causing
their collapse.
The same admiration for the employ
ment of huge blocks of stone is seen
ers along the coast of South Fukien,
where the stone slabs used In the con-
struction occasionally measure sixty
feet In length and are estimated to
weigh nearly 120 tons, and the bridges
themselves have a length Of 1000 to
1000 yards.
In almost oil cases where the build
ings are not of solid construction the
weight of the blocks employed has
placed strain upon the supports which
the architects skill was not competent
to provide against, and with the lapse
Of time the melancholy spectacle is
seen of slabs fallen from their places
and of noble and costly structures
approaching ruin. In some cases the
interdependence Of the arches leads to
the same result. One notable instance
of this occurred during Colonel Cor
don's campaign against the Talpings.
when to allow of the passage Of his
small steamers it was necessary to
make gap In a bridge Of over twenty
arches, and arch after arch collapsed
Immediately after the passage of his
small fotilla. - London Saturday Re-

POINT 4G4INST Mann.
Recorder Gof Admits Testimony in
HapgOOd'S Trial as EUidence.

Assistant District Attorney Garvan scored
heavily for the prosecution yesterday morning
in the trial OF Colonel William Dalton Mann
for perjury. when he got Recorder Goff TO re-
verse his ruling Of the preceding day and admit
the reading of extracts from the testimony Of
the defendant in the Hapgood libel case as evil
denoe. Argument this point took up nearly
the entire morning. Martin W. Littleton, Colo
mel Mann's counsel, vigorously opposed admitting
the testimony the ground of its being imma-
terial 10 the present case. Finally as a last re-
sort. he cited as q precedent ruling in which
the court held that all false swearing was not
perjury, and that il was necessary to show that
II had been done with intent 10 affect the case
TO prove crime.
In making his decision Recorder Golf briefly
recited the circumstances leading to the intro
duction of the Reginald Ward letter with the
%. IA. W. ID. NJ" attached, and said that when
the questions objected TO were first asked they
were immaterial. but that they became material
later In the tIlal in connection with the credi-
bility of Colonel Mann He therefore admitted
them. Colonel Mann showed plainly that he
was worried over the admission of the testimony
Mr.. Garvan then read, under objection. parts

During the afternoon session Mr. Littleton in
sisted upon being confronted with the proofs of
the chaTge on which Colonel Mann indicted
before Mr.. Garvan be allowed TO proceed with
reading more testimony from the Hapgood trial
Recorder Goff ordered that this be done Mr.
Garvan objected. repeating that his object was
TO prove che condition of mind Of the defendant
ana that he could do so only by reading certain
portions of the testimony. The objection was
Cverruied and the case was then adjourned until
