Dickens, storles In China.

The Chinese are rapidly taking VI
western ideas, and translations OF
English and French novels are now
in increasing demand. Our romantic
and sentimental treatment Of love af
fairs, however, Is thing so foreign to
oriental ethics that the hero of the
ordinary European novel appears to
the Chinese mind as a person of per
verted moral sense and doubtful san
ity. TRANSACTIONS of Dickens, there
fore, impress the Chinese reader less
than they amuse him, and detective
stories and tales of adventure com
mand more sympathetic audience.
To the celestial mind the love af
fairs Of David Copperfeld can only de
tract from the human interest Of that
hero; q Chinese novelist would have
solved his difficulties by making him
WOO and marry Dora and Agnes stimuli
taneously. So of course John China

DEAL LIGHTLY WITH THE OUNCE
Reasons Why Some Children Simply

they assert that a disposition for
mathematical studies is no criterion
OF capacity for original or vigorous
thought, and that the ability to deal
with numbers is often observable in
the very weak of mind, says the New
York World.
The Ounce, they say, is often any,
thing but Ounce. The poor child
may suffer from weakness of sight, or
incipient deafness, and his teachers
fail to note the fact. Morbid shyness
and Self-consciousness, often charac.

CASE OF THE POLITE PEoNs.
And the Engineer Who Knew Little
Spanish and Tried to Boss Them.

An engineer who came up a while
ago from Mexico told a story about q
man In his line who had rather lin
tied knowledge Of Spanish but fancied
that by combining what he knew and
some English he could make the poems
employed on the railway understand.
In his vocabulary were these words
Para, stop; ustedes hombres, you men;
piedras, stones, and via, road One day
this engineer was walking up the track
and saw lot of poems standing around
doing nothing. So he stopped and
said:
"Ustedes hombres, why are you
standing around idle? Take those
piedras and throw them In the middle
Of the via"
The always polite Mexicans smiled
and said, Isl, senor," and the engineer
marched away. Then they debated
what he meant and decided he wanted
the stones thrown on the other side of
the track. They started to do that
and back came the engineer.
Para, ustedes hombres, para! Didn't
ustedes hombres hear what l said
Didn't tell ustedes hombres to take
those piedras and throw them in the
middle of the via? Why don't you do
what said?"
And he marched away, as the poems
said suavely, ISL senior"
They had another consultation and
decided that what he wanted was to
have the piedras thrown clear across
the track in the other direction, Sc
they began, again, tossing the stones
back again. The engineer came rush
ing back, shouting;
Para, para! What is the matter
with ustedes hombres? Do ustedes
hombres take me for a fool?"
He paused and, believing that he
had come to the end of his speech the
poems bowed gravely and said: Isl
senor."

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest

Standing at the head of the circus
business and with the policy of p. T.
Bamum and James A. Bailey still ac-
tive with the present management, the
appearance of this circus from time to
time never fails TO furnish source of
absolute satisfaction to those who love
this form of amusement. The American
public is aware of the universal prest-
ige of this enterprise. Its travels in ev-
cry land where the sun shines have
given it unlimited advantages of gath
ering together the worlds wonders. If
there is anything new under the sun it
is found under the broad canvas tops
of this splendid circus,
1t is known that all great arenic acts
originate in Europe and Asia. No
sooner have these acts been exploited
in foreign audience rooms than they
are contracted for by the Banum and
Bailey management. Invariably, nov
elites are introduced to America by
this circus The program offered here
this year is particularly abundant in
strangeness and novelty. 1t is purely
a European bill. The climax comes
with the performance of Desperate,
who dives out from the dome of the
canvas and lands on a small skid three
feet from the ground.
None the less interesting and thrill
ing is the act of Jupiter, magnificent
horse, which goes up in balloon and
comes down amid shower of fire
works. These two acts stand alone as
the most exciting and the most aston
ishing feats ever presented.
The circus has a newly-built equip
ment this season, most of it from Euro
pean factories. On the roll are l,50C
employees and 700 horses are used, A
train of five sections conveys the great
canvas city from place to place.
1t requires fourteen acres of ground
to give room to the many tents. The
main Pavilion, the largest ever built,
seats $4,000 with comfort. The per.
