Japan's Giant Wrestlars.

japanese wrestlers are not to be con-
fused with japanese exponents of jiu
jitsu. The wrestlers belong to the
older school, in which weight is par
amount quality. 1t is a remarkable
thing that race which is on the av-
erage four or five inches under the Eu-
ropean standard in point of height
should have produced a special cult of
wrestlers who are giants in stature
and strength. The leading wrestlers
Of Tokyo or Osaka or Hiogo are all
men at least six feet in height and
weighing perhaps 800 pounds. They
are race apart Wrestling is AN &C.
cupation which has been handed Aown
from father to son for many genera
lions. And the explanation of their
prowess is that they have always been
meat eaters, while the rest of Japan.
either from choice or necessity. have
been in the main vegetarians.

Instances are common enough in
elections when single vote turns the
scale, but for that vote to decide not
only the fate of candidate, but Of q
party as well, is rare. Yet a MAORI
ty Of one in parliament, which may
logically depend on majority of one
in the country, has worked some of the
most momentous results possible. The
classical example is the act Of union
OF 1899, certainly among the largest,
most important and most remarkable
changes ever accomplished by a legis-
lative body. One hundred and six
voted for it and 1O5 against. Then a
majority Of one carried the great re.
form bill in 1882.
Majorities only little bigger have
again and again been responsible for
farreaching consequences. A MAORI.
ty of five threw out the Melbourne
government in 1889. By the same fig
ure Lord John Russell's government
was defeated in 1866. Gladstone went
out of Office in 1873 because he lacked
three votes, and the public education
act, one of the most important ever
passed, was placed on the statute
book by a majority Of two.-London

London's Bio Ben,

Why is the large bell in the tower
Of the house of parliament in London
called Big Ben? The average London
er himself seems to have no idea how
it got its name. When the building
was designed Sir Benjamin Hall had a
great deal to do with carrying out the
plans of the architects, being high
commissioner of public works, and his
coworkers appreciated the fact that to
him the city of London was largely in
debted. SO when the question came
up in parliament as to the name of the
enormous bell that was to be hung in
the tower a member shouted, why
not call it Big Benz This suggestion
was received with much applause as
well as with roars of laughter, for Sir
Benjamin was an enormous man, both
in height and girth, and had often been
called Big Ben. From that day on
the bell whose peal every Londoner
knows has been known only as Big
Ben.-Harper's Weekly.

Wild Doos of Asia.

The whole tribe of wild dogs, which
in closely allied forms are to be found
in the widest jungles and woods of
Asia, from the Himalayas to Ceylon
and from China to the Taurus-unless
the golden wolves" of the Roman en-
pire are now extinct in the forests of
Asia Minor-show an individual and
corporate courage which entities them
to high place among the most dar-
ing of wild creatures. The red dogs"
to give them their most characteristic
name, are neither large in size nor do
they assemble in large packs. Those
which have been from time to time
measured and described seem to aver
age some three feet in length from the
nose to the root of the tail. The pack
seldom numbers more than nine or
ten, yet there is sufficient evidence that
they are willing and able to destroy
any creature that inhabits the jungle,
except the adult elephant and perhaps
the rhinocerOs, creatures whose great
size and leathery hide make them al
most invulnerable to such enemies as
dogs.-LOndOn Spectator.

tn. Ham Fair at Paris.

A feature of Partisan life is the ham
fair which Is held on the Boulevard
Richard LIE Noir. The name of this
fair is wholly misleading. for as far
as l have ever seen hams are the very
last thing any one ever buys there.
Old brass and copper curios. quaint
jewelry, rare china, lace. tapestries
and books are what most people go
out to seek. and sight not to be easily
forgotten is the long, wide boulevard
lined with ramshackle stalls laden
with every possible kind Of lumber and
presided over by the most rapacious
Of brocanteurs. Out of piles Of value
less lumber Americans and English
diligently seek for their pet kind Of
curios. and there is not an artist in
Paris who cannot point to some bit
Of furniture in his or her studio and
say with pride. II got that for 5 francs
at the ham fair" No one ever pays
more than francs, l notice, but. alas
every year these FIVE franc bargains
are becoming more rare. and even as
housekeeping in Paris grows more and
more costly so does the furnishing of
ones house to keep.-London Queen.

Gold Heated Water.

Over 1000 years ago an elaborate
system of filtration was established by
the Egyptians to purify the waters Of
the Nile. In both Rome and Athens hot
water was drunk in preference to
cold by the small minority who used
water for drinking purposes. Cham
pier, writing in 1860, notes that the
habit of drinking hot water was
spreading among all classes in France.
"Some warm it by holding it over the
fire. Others dip burning bread into it.
Rich people plunge Il bar of hot gold
into their water before drinking it,
and the less wealthy Il bar of hot iron.
warm their drink with live coal"
