true that since last season the mighty
Yankee Robinson Combined Circus.
Museum, Aviary, Wild West, Menag-
erie and Double Hipodrome, which

big circus enterprises offered for sale,
and added the train loads of ~parapher-
MALTA to its stock of equipment, and
will this year exhibit under n great
spreading sky of canvass all, as one
combined show for one price OF adj
mission. This is the greatest purchase
ever made by any circus enterprise

that the mighty Yankee Robinson has

and excite the wonder of all behold
ers, We would call your attention
however to one offering in the pro-
gram. The Royal Japanese troupe of
ten gymnasts. They appearing in
this country for the first time, by
special consent of the Mikado Of the
oriental kingdom.
The securing Of these wonderful
death defying people has been the
cause of rivalry between the large
shows the past twelve months. Com,
petitors were chagrined beyond ex
preston, when the announcement was
cabled to Col. Buchanan that the con
sent OF the Mikado to engage the
Toxic Troupe of Royal Gymnasts fol-
this season. They will be seen here
in their unrivaled feats in the regular

The FiiIal Chinaran.

Many examples of Chinese tilial piety strike the occidental reader as ridicu lous. There is the famous story Of Lao Laitsu, which Mir. R [. Johnston repeats in his Lion and Dragon ID Northern China Laos parents lived to such extreme old age that he was himself a toothlesS old man while they were both still alive. "Conceiv- ing it his duty to divert their atten- ton from their weight of years and approaching end, he dressed himself up in the clothes of child and played about in his parents presence with the object of making them think they were still young married couple con templating the innocent gambos Of their infant son"
 A similar case is that of Wang P'ou whose mother had an unconQuerabl2 dread of thunder and li2Stning When she died she was buried in q mountain forest, and thereafter, Whea violent thunderstorm occurred Wang P'ou, needless of the win "Hl rain, would hurry to her grave and throw himself to his knees. Il am here to protect you, dear mother,' he zze,!.l s=...= "Do not be afraid"

Be -ause of it's inaccesSt bilty few Europeans have ever visited the spot. but number of travellers have ascended the stairway and are positive that it is no legendary myth.

A Good Sleeper

Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi- nary story of the impnssiveness of Louis XVIII When he was minister of foreign affairs a courier came to him one evening bearing unpleasant news. and he therefore postponed the Standardization of il to the king till next morning. when he explained that he was afraid the tidings might have disturbed his majesty's sleep. The king replied: Nothing disturbs my sleep. as you may see from this in- stance. The most dreadful blow of my life was my brothers death. The courier who brought this dreadful news arrived at o'clock in the even- ing. For many hours l was quite overcome. but at midnight 1 went to bed and slept my usual eight hours" The story is told by the Duchssse dc Dino. Talleyrnnd's niece. In her mem. ofrx

Making a Gunstock.

party of men were out hunting, and an old Woodsman who was with them broke his gunstock in some way or other, It was just about nightfall when the accident occurred. and inas- much as he was very anxious to do some shooting early the next morning he decided to fix up his shooting iron. Finding walnut fence rail, he set to work. His only tools were an ax and a big pocket knife. All night long he labored vigorously at his task, and by morning the gunstock was finished and back in place and worked like q charm.

Calculations Necessary to Produce the

 It may safely be said that no one outside the publishing office has read he entire Nautical Alman nae from be- ginning to end, but each figure of the printed almanac is in the office eX- nmtHcd twice and read three times.
 The total number of figures exceeds a million: but. great as that number is, it is trifing compared with the n!n- Der of figures employed in the calcrla tions, as the almanac fiGures repre- sent "bare" results only. The moon. for instance. requires for its calcr- lation more than a million and a hA't of figures. and similarly with oth@. branches of the Wesk. such as the SUR. 70 planets. etc. Contrary to tAo general opinion. practically every fig ure in the book Is fresh from year to year
