BY wHEELBARRow IN CHINA.
Two Passengers Go 70 Miles a Day
 for Ten Ger Each.

Probably more freight and more passengers are transported in China by the wheelbarrow than by any other land method The wheelbarrow used in China differs from that used in America in the fact that the wheel Is set in the center and thus supports practically the entire load, while the handles are supported in part by a strap or rope over the shoulders of the man who operates 1t.
 As a result the coolie in China will transport nearly half ton on his wheel Wheelbarrows are much used in the country where the roads are but little developed, and l have heard that passengers sometimes make the entire trip from Shanghai to Picking, q distance of 500 miles, by barrow
 A two.passenger barrow will make about 20 miles a day, and the coolie is content with pay of about 20 cents a day, or an average of about half a cent mile for each passenger.
 On the level, wellkcIt streets of the foreign quarters of such cities as Hongkopg, Shanghai and Picking the wheelbarrow coolie will struygle along with a load of six or even eight people. N ashiugton Herald.

,mAu..n Ei.herr.en.

On the coast of Ho' and, Belgum and Northern France the fisherwomen are a familiar sight, with their great hand nets and quaint costumes. Many of the towns have distinctive costumes by which their women can be recog- nized anywhere These Of Mana-Kirke, near Ostend. wear trousers and loose blouses. while their heads and shoul- ders are covered by shawls. They carry their nets into the sea and scoop up vast quantities of shrimps and prawns. with an occasional crab or lobster and many small fish. They often wade out till the water is up to their neoks, and they remain for hours ot a time in water above their knees, rarely returning until their baskets ara fill -------------------------

Tribe Where Sisters Children Inherit
 Mans Property.

 The race in question consists of about 10000 blacks. living at place called Dobu. The customs of the race are must curious
 The immigration policy is more drastic than hat of White Australia, for all strangers have either to be- come full members of the tribe or be eaten. When dealing with Mir. Brown low, however. the difficulty was got over by making him father of the tribe
 Each tribe and each family had their own land, and no portion is al lowed to go out of their possession except as loan for a seasons crop The men marry out of their own tribe and on their death their land becomes the property of their sisters children.
 Women have great influence in the affairs of the tribe. and their duties are quite distinct from those of the men, The men clear the bush and dig the ground, then the women pre- pare 1t and plant yams, the crop be- ing theirs. If man wants any yams he has to ask for them, The banana patch, however, is his own property.
 Wives are obtained by purchase. If a man pays we'll for his wife he can thrash her occasionally, but she could leave him If she did not Ike it, and go back to her own village.

LIoHTNlNe's QUEER FREAKS.
Dog Killed in Lap of Painter Who
 Escapes uninJured.

Many strange freaks of lightning are reported from a recena storm, says a Clayton, N. J., dispatch to the Philadelphia Record. While a man was painting a sign at Landisville a friehtened dog jumped on his lap. A streak of lightning encircled the mans neck. passed down to the dog and killed it instantly The sign painter was blinded for about three minutes, but felt no other effects of the light ming after his sight had returned to him.
 The bolt that struck Walter Keen made a hcle through the floor directly under his foot, but did not make the slightest mark upon the rug. A win dow pane. 30 by 36 inches, in the Keen house was taken out by the lightning and stood up against walnut tree without cracking the glass, the light ming having melted the putty and glazier's points.
 A tree in North Clayton was struck by ball which appeared as big as a barrel and stripped entirely or us leaves without otherwise iniuring the tree. A tin can at the McWilliams house was shaped by the lightning like an accordion plqited skirt. A bolt of lightning filled Harry Essler's eel lar with dense smolle, but made no marks whence it cospe or whither it went. Lightning jumped from wire fence surrounding a poultry yard and gave Mrs. Francis Hill shock from which she has not yet fully recovered.

few other gentlemen heard Miss
Georges remark that she had visited
a real live Nevada mining camp and
had seen everything but gun fight
and they planned to furnish her with
the sight of one of these exciting
affairs.
At Schurz "Rawhide' Gillespie
got on the train. He was consult
ed by Gates and the other men in the
party and the fight was arranged.
Gillespie walked to the front end
of the train and was returning to
his car in the rear of Miss Georges
private car, when Gates appeared at
the other end of the car with num-
Der of men. At sight of Gillespie,
Gates rushed forward and yelled:
i've been looking for you. You
jumped my claim and l want you to
pull up stakes and move, and be
lively about it, tool"
Gillespie responded as brave
prospector would under such condi-
lions and few angry words fol-
lowed.
''I'll show you!" suddenly yelled
Humboldt Gates and jerked a Al
Colts revolver from his belt. Gill
lespie reached for his gun but it was
gone. He then turned and ran, yell
ing for gun, while the other men
in the party grabbed the revolver
held by Humboldt Gates.
At sight of the gun pretty Grace
George grabbed up her skirts and
ran to the other end of the car, where
she tried to hide behind seat, while
the other ladies in the, party made
themselves as small as possible. There
was much screaming and sobbing in
the car and many please of: 20,

HUMBOLDT GATES
Wild west SHOW
ENACTS GUN PLAY FOR THE
BENEFIT OF A YOUNG
ACTRESS

A real Wild West gun play, with
all the noise and excitement that usu-
ally accompanies such scene, oc-
CURED on train No. 90 between Haz-
en- and Sparks last night and it. was
all for the benefit of Grace George,
the noted actress.
The whole trouble occurred when
Humboldt Gates accused "Rawhide'
Gillespie, who was one of the orig
inal locators of Rawhide, and who
makes his home in this city, of jump
ing claim in Rawhide. Humboldt
Gates pulled gun and threatened
to shoot IGillespie's heart out and
Gillespie ran through Grace Georges
private car, yelling for a gun and
causing general stampede among
the actors and actresses.
1t was all prearranged and the en-
tire scene was enacted for the bene-
fit of Miss Grace George and her COM
panions, but not one but Humboldt
Gates, "Rawhide' Gillespie, Frank
Golden and few other well-known
Nevada men, knew this. All others
believed that real gun fight was in
progress and that tragedy was
about to occur, when Humboldt
Gates pulled his long Colts revolver
from his belt and aimed it at the
head of Gillespie.
Humboldt Gates, according to
Frank Golden, had boarded the train
at Tonopah, where Miss Georges car
was placed on the train. He and a
