Canton's City of the Dead.

In Canton, about eighty miles from
Hongkong, there is 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 $50 for the
first three months and then at a re-
duced rate until the geomancers en-
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.

When ParasoIs BEGAN.

ParasOls when they first came into
use must have been cumbersome
Henri EStienne, writing in 1873, speaks
Of parasOl as capable generally Of
sheltering four persons from the sun.
And when they diminished in circum-
ference the material still remained Of
the heaviest. Red velvet parasOls,
with heavy gold fringeS, were carried
by ladies of fashion in the days Of
Louis NV. At that time it was posi-
bic when crossing a bridge in Paris to
hire a paraS0l at one end and deposit
it at the other, the charge for the
accommodation being a SOU Under
the regency fashion went to the other
extreme. Mems paraSols folded into
the shape of a three cornered hat and
could thus be carried elegantly under
the arm. Ladies' parasols were hinged
so that they could slip into the pocket,
for ladies had pockets then.-London

Saved by a Dream.

A farmer living at Lapford, England,
dreamed thrice in succession that he
saw pit dug in one Of his fields and
some Of his property cast into it. At
the third time of dreaming he got up,
dressed and went out. He heard the
thud of spade and caught sight of a
man digging by lantern light The
digger fled at his approach. 1t was
grave upon which he had been at work
By it's brink lay a huge knife On his
way back the farmer met one of his
maidservants. She had had a quarrel
with the man to whom she had been
engaged, she said, but he had prevailed
upon her to meet him for the last time
at o'clock that morning, when he had
something to show her. "This is what
he had to show you," said the farmer,
leading her to the grave-London Tat

HIS GREATEST GAME.
The Climax of Mathewson's Fame az q
Baseball Pitcher.


We always have believed that the
greatest game that MathewsOn ever
pitched was the eighth and deciding
contest between Boston and New York
in the worlds series of 1912 He
should have shut the Red Sox out in
that battle, but his team faltered and
broke behind him, and Boston finally
won in ten innings by a score Of 3 to 2.
Matty had been the unanimous choice
of his comrades. He felt that it might
be the last worlds series game he ever
would pitch, and he put into his work
all the cunning and skill that the years
had given him. In those ten innings
he gave everything he had, and it was
a marvellous exhibition of twirling
When he entered the box his step
was springy and his head held high.
He looked almost boyish. When he
left the mound after the game it was
with bent head and tagging feet, but
the Boston crowd stood up in the
stands and cheered, not their team.
which had just won the worlds cham
pionship, but the defeated MathewsOn.
Hard headed ball players had tears
on their cheeks as they ran to Matty to
throw their arms across his shoulders.
and McGraw hurried across to meet
him from the bench, saying: at WASH
your fault, Matty. You pitched the
greatest game | ever saw."-New York

FREE FROM BEETLES.
Spitzbergen Is the Only Land In the
World Without Them.


World Without Them.
One Of the most amazing things in
natural history is the way in which
beetles have triumphed in the struggle
for existence, says the Popular Science
Monthly. OF all creatures they are by
far the most numerous, no fewer than
10000 distinct species having been
jdentified-three times the number OF
backDOned animals.
Beetles are found practically every
wherein the frost bound tracts of
Iceland and in the hot desert sands Of
Africa, on the highest mountains, un-
der the ground and as fossil i'll the
deepest strata, on land and III water,
on plants, among stones and in wood
and earth and even i'll the very craters
of volcanoes.
But there is one place where no beetle
has yet been found 1t is the inhOspi-
table land Of SpitZbergen, to the north
Of Russia. Here are found the mann
mails, birds, fish, molluSks, crustaceans,
a few insects Of varied species and
many spiders, but not a single beetle.
While other insects have succeeded
in some way in migrating from the
mainland, the beetles have apparently
been unable to cross the wide, Icy
waters

Hitchinq to a Star.

Many people interpret the familiar
phrase Glitch your wagon to 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 our wagons Thus we
would hitch our wagon to a STAR

ORIGIN OF PUNCHINELLO.
A Memory Of the Days When Harper's
Weekly Was a Power.


Weekly Was a Power.
In the days when Harper's Weekly
was at the height of its popularity and
influence it commanded the services Of
the foremost illustrators in America,
including the cartoonists. Every once
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

Place He Had Been LOOKING For.

The hobo from the city has different
ideas from the farmer as to working
hours. The Country Gentleman says
that a hobo got a job from a farmer
in the busy season. He worked till
$3.50, then had his supper At four
the next morning he was called to get
up. He ate a hearty breakfast, then
started upstairs again, saying: This
is the best place | ever worked-two
suppers in one night and back to bed
again"

FAILED TO LOOK AHEAD.
A Bunder That Has Brought Many a
Family to Grief.

In the American Magazine a writer
says:
"a man engaged in business in one
of the trades or professions is strong
and healthy, and his earnings are ade-
quate to meet the needs of himself and
family and lay little by to combat the
proverbial rainy day.
''In trying to make a good appear

his income, sells the birthlight Of his

habits. He is strong, and the future
seems long way off.
Eventually on account Of accident
or disease he leaves the scene of action
and his wife and 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 man has a mortgage upon
his property, and he sOliloquizes in this
manner: L shall meet the interest and
next year begin paying off the mort

foreclosed, and he realizes when too
late that he failed to look ahead.
