Canton's City of the Dead.

In Canton, about eighty miles from
Hongkong, there is a place known as
the City Of the Dead. There are 1914
small houses, in each of which a corpse
is lodged, at the rate of So for the
first three months and then at a re-
duced rate until the geomancers m
ployed by the relatives of the dead
person decide when and where the
corpse shall be buried. Silk or paper
lanterns and imitation fruit are hung
from the roof. There are screens in
each room between the door and the
coffin. Tea, fruit and any other kind
of food which the dead person liked
when on earth are placed on an altar
before the coffin each morning. There
are cardboard servants standing about
to wait on him with pipes or cardboard
cups Of tea. There are also two hand
some paper females placed there to
guide his spirit on the way to heaven.

An Authors Odd Aversion.

The "stoic'' meal had attractions for
Edward Fitzgerald, who, among his
other p~eculiarities, hated to e people
enjoying their food. On one occasion,
after a mar had finished a glass of
wine in his company and gone out Of
the room. Fitzgerald remarked with
disgust: did you notice how he took
up his glass? | am sure he likes it.
BAH Fitzgerald himself, according
to his biographer, A. C. Benson, lived
practically on bread and fruit, most
" apples and pears, even a turnip,
with sometimes cheese or butter and
milk buildings. But he was not a
bigoted vegetarian. To avoid an ap-
pearance of singularity he would eat
meat at other houses and provided it in
plenty for his guests. But the only
social meal he cared to join in was
tea, pure and simple, with bread and

Hitchinq to a Star.

Many people interpret the familiar
phrase Hitch you wagon to a STAR
as being an injunction TO "aim high"
Emerson, who introduces this express
sion in his essay on civilization, meant
no such thing. He says his magma
ton is greatly stirred by the waves. If
an engine could be built which would
accumulate all the power of the waves,
since the tide makes the waves and the
moon makes the tide, We could use this
enormous power to run our manufac-
tories and move u wagons. Thus we
would 'hitch our wagon to a STAR

Genius and Appetite.

Sir Francis Cation held that a good
appetite is one of the attributes of
genius. 'Most notabilities have been
great eaters and excellent digesters on
the same principle that the furnace
which can raise more steam than is
usual for one of its size must burn
more freely and well than is COM
mon.' Scott was of the same opinion.
In a letter to Canning respecting an
article promised to the Quarterly Re-
view he advises him to break the neck
of 1t after a hearty meal, preferably
OF boiled chicken" And he practiced
what he preached, for, like Tennyson,
Dickens, Thackeray and many other
nineteenth century authors, Scott was
an excellent trencherman. - London

BUSINESS NOTICE

The Journal finds it necessary
to lay some plain facts before its
subscribers. W. have reached
the point where we must collect
what is due us or bust"
Now it is up to our friends to
determine which we do. The
situation in the paper business
was never so unsatisfactory be-
fore. Prices of all grades of
paper have advanced several
hundred percent within the last
few months. The newspaper
which the Journal was printed
on during the summer cost us
$48 per ton. We were fortunate
enough early in the spring to
place an order for sufficient
amount to run us until October.
The same grade of paper that
this weeks issue is printed on
costs US S125 per ton, and if
bought today it would cost US
$3.50 per ton. This explains to
you the situation. We cannot
afford to send the paper longer
on time and we must urge our
friends to either send in or bring
their subscription.
You will find on the margin of
your paper the date to which it
has been paid. You can figure
from that time at the rate of
81. SO per year and remit for the
number of years you owe for.
This request is intended for
every subscriber to the paper,
and we shall expect a prompt re-
spouse. Yours truly.

FLUNG UP FROM THE SEA.
Birth of the BoeosIof Group of the
AIeutian Islands.

o~ ~ N'S
AIeutian Islands.
The first of the Bogoslof group of the
Aleutian islands was born in the wear
1876.
There was a great CONFUSION in the
Boring sea about twenty-five miles
north Of Unalaska. and an island ap-
peared above the surface of the stormy
waters. This islet, which rose to a
height of nearly 5000 feet above sea
level, was christened Bogoslof by the
Russians. who then owned Alaska. 1t
remained solitary and alone until 1882,
when another volcanic eruption in the
sea was followed by the birth Of an
other island near the first.
For two years the new island was the
scene Of an active eruption. Then it
cooled gradually and, like the first islet,
became the home of seals and sea lions
and the breeding grounds for sea birds.
The third Of the Bogosof group was
born in 1906. The "baby" was smaller
than its elder sister. being about a
third of a mile in diameter and with an
altitude Of some 600 feet, but the fol-
lowing year another CONFUSION Of ma
ture resulted In nearly doubling It's
area.
Since then several other islands have
been born in various parts Of the Aleu-
tan chain.-Chicago Journal.

LIKE AN ANCIENT FORT.
elexico's Spiked Mountain a Curious
Geological Freak.

slexico's Spiked Mountain a Curious
Geological Freak.
one of the most remarkable geolog-
i~os freaks in Mexico is a mountain
situated hear Pachuca, which presents
the appearance at a distance Of being
covered with spikes. The sides of the
mountain are closely studded with
stone columns or palisades. These COL
umns are five feet to twelve feet long
and as large around as an average
mans body.
1t Is a remarkable uplift Of nature,
which has the appearance, however, of
being the handiwork of human beings.
One side Of the mountain is almost
perpendicular, and the stone columns
protrude from the surface at right
angles, forming an impressive picture.
Pachuca is n of the most noted
mining districts in Mexico, and it is
said by biologists that this remarkable
spiked mountain is out of keeping with
the remainder of the formation of the
mineralized region.
The stone is as hard as flint and has
Wlthstood the elements for ages. The
spikes form a natural battlement that
makes the mountain appear from a
distance like some ancient fort.
The mines of the Pachuca district
are situated not far from this wonder
full freak of nature, but the forma-
ton encountered in their respective
underground workings is of an entire
~ different kind from that of the
palisade.-Pearson's Weekly.

Don't Be Envious.

Crush all envy out of your heart. The
envious person is in pain upon all oc-
casions which ought to give him pleas

the objects which administer the high

empt from this passion give the quick

low creatures are odious. Don't be

The Romans Dressed For Dinner.

A sartorial authority says that the
custom of dressing for dinner began
with the Romans. 1t was a simpler
procedure than at present. A loose
robe OF fine material was donned for
the evening meal, preferably at home.

distance to the home of the host he

In the days when Harper's Weekly
was at the height OF its popularity and

In awhile a group of these artists
would become dissatisfied with the
Harper parental control and would
leave to establish an independent illus
trated paper.
Having squandered their substance
in riotous printing, these artists would
come to themselves and return to the
Harper home, where was bread enough
and to spare. No fatted calf was killed
on the return of such prodigals, but
Henry Mills Alden, the veteran editor
Of Harper's Monthly Magazine, assert
ed that the house of Harper never held
a grudge against any contributor,
whether artist or writer, who left to
try other pastures. Such was the orr
gin and such was the end of Punch
inellO, a comic cartoon weekly which
first appeared in New York city on
April 2, 1870.
In calling attention to the fact that
the first number was dated the first
day after All Fools day, Punchinello
remarked: This is cheering, since
thus it is manifest that Punchinello
leaves all the fools and testers behind
and is therefore first in the race for
the crown of comic laurel and the
culver of satiric shafts" During its
short life-less than a year-it was
entitled to that honor.-Cartoons Maya

to crafty his vanity or procrastinating
habits. He Is strong, and the future
seems a long way off.
Eventually on account Of accident
or disease he leaves the scene Of action,
and his wife and a number Of small
children must face the gloomy DAYS Of
the future unassisted by a bank ac-
count or life insurance policy simply
because he failed to look ahead.
Another mar has a mortgage upon
his property, and he soliloQuizes in this
