Happy People of Japan
The native Japanese, particularlythose who have not come Into closecontact with modern civilization. Is
distinguished as much by hls'naturnlcourtesy and politeness as by his aver-
sion to clothing. The peasants in theinterior are especially noted for theirpunctiliousness In saluting one an-
other; even rickisha men hurryingalong the road with a passenger willsometimes stop to greet a friend, whilea pretty woman receives a reverenceindeed. This salutation is not merelya word or a nod, but a low bow and aflourish of that little mushroom hat,and the greater friends they are thelower they bow. In saying good-b- y
two Japs never see each other's faces.both being so busily engaged in bend- - ,
ing tneir hacks. As soon as onestraightens himself the other bows,going backward all the whlle untilthey consider it polite to refrain.
When a foreigner passes through avillage every person he meets, fromthe little child to the old man, willbow most profoundly, so that the pass-age partakes of the nature of a
procession. Your waiter at .hehotel, too, would never think of turning his back until he had bowed him-self to a respectful distance, whilethe number of salaams he makes whiletaking your order would wear out anordinary back.
Another pleasant trait of these peo-ple Is their unvarying hospitality andgayety. You may enter any house andsit down and the host and his family
Chinese First to Print
Centuries before "the an. preserva-tive" was known in Europe the Chi- -
nese had practiced printing and hadproduced illustrations by engravedblocks. From the Chinese the Jap-anese learned to print, and engrav-ings dating from the thirteenthtury have been found.
Xylography was first employed Inthe service of religion for reproducingtexts and images of the Buddha. Thiswas followed by the production of pub-
lications such as romances and novels.In which the Illustrations were abouton a par with those In old-tim- e chatbooks. There were followed by single-
-sheet prints and by that largeclass of productions wnlch emanatedfrom the theater aa advertisements.
Chroma-xylograph- originated inJapan at the commencement of theeighteenth century with single sheetsprinted from three blocks, black, palegreen or blue, and pale pink. A fourthblock was added In 1720, and two oth-ers were added about forty years later.
The art was brought to perfectionbetween 1765 and 1785 In the singlesheet pictures, "Tori Kyonaga," "Su-zuki Haruhobu" and "Katsusawa Shunsho."

The rural Japanese as a rile wearas few clothes as the law allows, andslice In some districts there Is no lawon this subject the result is obvious.In fact, the children wear nothing atall in summer, while the men and wo-
men have but a scant a very scantapolosy for raiment. The nationalgarb Is, of course, the kimono; butthis Is often cast aside in favor of a
Bhort Jacket and trousers, or amoni.the fishermen and the farm laborer:a handkerchief or other small ragThis scantiness of clothing, however.seems so natural that it rarely excitesremirk.

Agriculture is carriedon with the crudest implements, ye:with a skill and care which have madea garden out of a land of barren moun-tains, while some rf the workmen Inregard to the arts of Joinery and weav-ing might give valuable hints to ourown people.
A short excursion through this coun-try wl!) give one a most pleasant im-
pression of the land and Its Inhabi-tants, while their quaint courtesy andpersevering Industry render them wor-thy of considerable respect.
The technique of Japanese Engrav-ing and printing Is thus described:The picture, drawn for the engraveron thin, transparent paper of a partic-ular kind. Is pasted face downwardupon a block of wood, usually cherry,and the superfluous thickness of paperIs removed by a process of scrapinguntil the design is clearly visible.
The borders of the outline are thenIncised very lightly In the more deli-cate parts with a kind of knife andthe interspaces between the lines ofthe drawing are Anally excavated bymeans of tools of various shapes.
The Ink is then applied with a brushand the printing Is effected by handpressure, assisted by a kind of pad,to which procedure may be attributedmuch of the beauty of the result. Cer-tain graduations of tone and evenpolychromatic effects may be pro--
duced from, a single block by suitableapplication of ink or color upon thewood, and on carefully extmlnlngthese prints it is often apparent thata great deal of artistic feeling hasbeen exercised in the execution of thepicture after the designer and engrav-er had finished their portion of thework. -

A Tenth-Stor- y Reverie
Here are the streets where the tollersare, and the din of busy wheels.
But a breeze blows In at the windowhere like a welcome thief, and steals
The glow of the city streets away, andthe pulsing roar grows dim
In the melody of a church bell's chimeand the chant of an evening hymn.
The stony streots are turfy paths andthe city's din and roar
Is the far-o- ff note of the woodland wildor the break of waves on shore.
When the d winds from thefar hills blow, and the tears that dimthe eye
Are dewdrops on wood violets In thecloistered dells that lie.
A breeze comes In at the window her.like a southing message blownFrom the world of birds and trees and
flowers to the world of brick andstone;
Cries out to the heart that Is caged andbarred and bids It spread Its wings
For a little while and wander backwhere the sweet-voice- d wild-bir- d
sings;The tinseled alow of the city palee In the
light of tne yellow moonThat fMtara down through the bousha
and leave, and th joy of th wild-bird'- s
tunKings out In a song of welcome horns;
while the aits' roar grows dimIn the rhyme and chime of the oM
church bell apd the not of an evenIng hymn!

English anrgeon Sarvtnc 0n the GoldCout round Opportunities at MakinglkthM of In'. Natural Curiosities
Combination of Horns no I Till,
Men and women endowed with hornsare not by any means unknown In theworld we live In ,
A short time ago Surgeon lampreyof the army medical siaft met with andstudied three horned men In Africa,each having a horn on either side ofhis nose.
"While serving on the Gold Coast,"said he, "I had opportunities of mak-ing drawings of these people. Thefirst horned man 1 had an opportunityof observing was a Faiuee namedCofea, aged about 32 years, from thelittle village of Amaquanta, in Wasauterritory.
"The second horned man wis a long-face- d
youth, aged about 18, namedQuassie Jabln, from the Oamln terri-tory, and nut a kinsman of the firstone.
"From a statement made by himthrough a Fantee interpreter, I gath-ered tnat this hornlike growth hadbeen in existence as long as he couldremember.
"The third case was that of CudjoDanso, aged about 20. He statedthrough an interpreter that so far ashe was aware this horn-lik- e knob badgrown of Itself. It certainly hadgrown larger as he had grown older.'It gave hrra no incom enhance. Hecould see and smell perfectly."
Hundreds of cases more remarkablehave recently been collected in an In-
teresting report by Drs. George Gouluand Walter Pyle, both well knownpathologists.
"Human horns," say they, "are farmore frequent than ordinarily sup-posed. Nearly all the older writerscite examples. M y mention hornson the head.
"in the ancient timeB horns weresymbolical of wisdom and power. M-
ichael Angelo in hi" famous picture ofMoses has given the patriarch a pairof horns."
There is a greater f eriuency of ho naamong women than among men, ac-
cording to these authorities.The combination of horns and tall
on a human being would naturally giverise to extravagant superstition. Thereis a description of such a case in a re-
cent medical report. The creature,said to have been dubbed the "Hoo-doo or Plato," was born eight yearsago In Minnesota. He was a boy fiveweekB old when described. He hadhair twe Inches long all over his body;his features were fiendish, and his eyedshone like beads beneath his shaggybrows. He had a tall eighteen incheslong, horns from the skull, a full setof teeth, and claw-lik- e hands. Hesnapped like a dog, crawled on allfours and refused the natural susten-ance of a normal child. The countrypeople considered this devil-chil- d a...nishment for a rebuff that the moth-er gave a Jewish peddler selling cruci-fixion pictures.
Fabricus, the famous Italian anato-mist of the fourteenth century, recordsthat he saw a man with norns on hluhead, and who chewed the cud.
Dr. Saxton reports that he has cutseveral hornH from ears of patients.There are further reports of such pro-
tuberances found on the eyelid, thenape of the neck, the lower lip andthe chin. London Express.

Major WallerThe eastern mall baa brought the re-
port of Major Waller on the famousexpedition conducted by him acrosslie island of Samar. Major Waller's
.sports are formal and do not go In-l-
details, but the news of the affairsis contained In a dispatch from Lieut.R. W. Shoemaker, U. S. N., who con-
ducted the relief expedition that suc-
cored the marines. After detailing thairrlval In the American llnea of Capt.Porter and Lieut. Williams with a por-tion of the men the report says:
"Capt. Porter and Lieut. A. S. Wil-liams in conversation gave me sub-stantially the following account oftheir wanderings:
"On Jan. 1, being then on half ra-
tions, with very little food left, MajorWaller decided to split the party, hetaking fifteen of the strongest mennd pushing on for Basey and Capt.
Porter following his trail bb rapidlyas possible with the main body.
"On Jan 2 a native came back from
Major Waller.UToltfr with nntn ntatincr that lm '
(Waller) had given up the idea of get-
ting through and would return,Porter to mate directly for
the river and build rafts for the entireparty. This Porter tried to do, butfailed to And wood that would float.It was raining hard at this time andthe river was about ten feet above Itsnormal level and running with vio-lence. As Major Waller did not ap-pear, Porter sent Capt. Bearss to himto ascertain his plans, then return andreport. Bearss failed to return, buthe reached Waller and went on withhim.
"On Jan. 3, I think, Porter pushedahead to get assistance with eight ofthe strongest men, leaving WilliamB tofollow with the crippled and lame asfar as the boat, secreted on the wayup to be used In an emergency like thepresent. Porter reached the boat, butfound Bhe had been damaged and wasunflt for use. So he started on a
'hike' for Lanang.reached theri with three men on the
afternoon of the 11th. Five men hadgiven out, but, living on two dogs thatatrayed their way, they finally reachedthe post.
"The relief expedition under Lieut.Williams, First Infantry, on account ofthe height of the river, was unable toget away until the morning of the14th. Williams deserves the highestpraise for his twenty-fiv- e miles' fightagainBt the current and up the rapids,hauling his boats along by hand agood part of the way. It was not untilthe morning of the 17th that hereached the starving marines in theirstopping place near the river. Theircondition at the time was terrible.For days no man among them bailstrength to carry a rifle. Nine of themhad either gone crazy or had fallen bythe trail half dead from starvation andexposure. It had rained steadily foreighteen days.
"Lieut. A. S. Williams had madeevery effort to get them along, but hadto abandon them. He could onlysave the men who were able to reachthe boat by the river, the probablepoint of arrival of the relief expedi-tion. He got there on the night of the16th Inst., his party having been with-out food except roots, the pulp ofplants and a very few sweet potatoesfor fifteen days.
"To further complicate matters thenative bearers, about thirty in num-ber, became sulky, practically refusingassistance to the white men. Theywould build shacka aa a protectionfrom the continual downpour forthemselves only, and, knowing theedible roots and plants, were moreskillful in obtaining food.
"A time came when no white mancould carry a rifle, and those not lostwere In the hands of the native", and

twenty-flve-mll- e
under the altered condition It requiredconsiderable diplomacy on the part ofLieut Williams to handle them at all.Just before reaching the river twobearers tried to kill Williams, etab-bln- g
him about the chest with a bolo.He tried to shoot, but had not suffl-cle-
strength to pull the trigger. Thenthey tried to kill him with his ownpistol, but did not know how to workthe weapon.
"Williams was rercued by a few ofhis men. who tottered up, armed withsticks, and the natives took to thebush. No Filipinos were seen In theregion, there being no food. The re-
lief party saw some coming from thedirection of Hermane,' so It Is prob-able that the Insurgents about theregot wind of the desperate condition ofthe marines and were hurrying up totake advantage of it. Relief came JustIn time.
"It took practically all of Jan. 18to get the sufferers, thirty-on- e In num-ber, including two officers eighteen Instretchers, unable to move across theriver and out through the surf to thevessel. The Job was finished at 6:30p. m., and at 3 we started for Taclobandirect, as an army surgeon said atLanang that an hour saved in transitmight mean an arm or a leg to some.We reached Tacloban at 8 a. m., andthe worst cases were at once trans-ferred to the hospital.
"The others, Including eight or tennatives net included in the above to-
tal of thirty-one- , I transferred to Ba-ee-
seeing Major Waller. His partyappears, from the statement of theofficers, to have been reduced to nearlythe same extremity as the other. Theyhad practically given up hope whenthe opportune capture of a small boy.the only native seen, resulted In theirgetting through to the coast."

Dr. George C. Lorlmer. of the Madi-son Avenue Baptist church. New York,when visiting Philadelphia recently,told this story:
"It Is queer what a liking young stu-

I onceknew a promising candidate who Wasgiven charge of a funeral In the ab-sence of the pastor of the church. Heknew It was customery for the minis-ter to announce after the sermon thatthose who wished should step up toview the remains, but he thought thiswas too hackneyed a phrase, and hesaid instead:
" 'The congregation will now passaround the bier." "
An Inopportune Question.There used to be an old gentleman
living In Wllllamstown, N. J., known
as Uncle John Klrby! a shoemaker bytrade, and weighing 250 pounds. Hewas very religious, and exceedinglythoughtful of his wife. One day UncleJohn started down cellar for a pitcherof cider, missed his footing and fell tothe bottom of the stairway. His good-wif-

Some Good in(Special
HE dispensary law of :
South Carollua Is novel inIts workings, and where ItIs enforced It aeemlnglyadvances the ai- r- of pro-
hibition and good govern-
ment. Requiring the saleof liquors only at author-lre- d
places, and the taking awayof all purchases with the seal un-
broken, it eliminate! the saloonand tho treating habit, compell-
ing traffic only In liquors testedand certified to be pure by a statechemist, and sold by salaried agentsunder Btate and municipal supervision.It destroys one of the saloon evils, theclement of personal profit; while mak- -
Ing compulsory the sale only in day-
light, it tends to keep men homenights, and the Influence of the familycircle takes the place of that of thesaloon and club. In all these essen-
tial features the dispensary law drivesthe saloonkeeper to seek another oc-
cupation, while it is minimizing mis-
demeanors and crimes. ThlB from theviewpoint of strict enforcement.
Concisely stated, the South Carolinasystem is the distribution of liquorsby state agencies, subject lo local su-
pervision. Penalties for violations ofthe law and for breaches of trustrange from $100 to $500 line or one totwelve months' Imprisonment, or both.
Dispensers must not sell to minorsor Intoxicated persons and besidesmaking weekly returns to the statetreasurer, they must also make re-
turns of the profits accurlng to thecity and county at least once in threemonths, dividing the money equallybetween the county and the city ortown treasurer. In the cr.se of the
of the law the stateboard has the right to withhold thecounty'B share of the profits of thebusiness and use it to pay constables.
All liquors must be sold only when awritten request Is made therefor, Lierequest to bear the name and addressof the purchaser and the fact of hisbeing of age, and no dispenser can seM
or offer for sale any liquors other thansuch as are furnlBhcd by the statecommissioner, while the adulterationof any auch liquors is punishable by afine of $200 or six months' imprison-ment. All requests for liquors aremade upon blanks similar to bankchecks, which are furnished by thecounty auditor, to wnom the blankswhen filled out are turned over everythree months as a check upon the dis-
penser. Any person making a falseor fictitious signature or signing an-
other's niae to a blank is liable to afine of $25 or thirty days' imprison-ment.
The annual report of the state board,recently submitted to the legislature,showed that the aggregate business ofthe state dispensary for 1901 was near-ly $2,000,000. There was on hand atthe beginning of the present fiscalyear $647,700 worth of liquors, aboutequally divided between the state andcounty dispensaries. While the law

trade in the state and county dispen-saries.
The receipts for the year amountedto $1.9b2,080, the sales rangtng from$126,668 to $220,896 a month. The dis-
bursements for the year amounted to$2,071,726, and the largest purchasesof supplies were made during January,when there was paid out $385,41 1.
An analysis of the profit and loss ac-count Is Interesting. The gross profitsare figured at $480,490. while a brewingcompany having a dispensary privilegeIn Charleston paid $1,679 therefor andcontraband goods valued at $6,085 wereseized and turned Into the stock intrade.
The net profit of the business for theyear figures $120,962. That is, that sumwas the state s share of the business,which goes to augment the schoolfund, while about as much was madeby the local dispensaries and dividedbetween the counties and towna.
The state owed $196. 69c for liquorsand supplies on the first of the year.
lu the enforcement of hhe law thereIs great laxity, for Charleston and Co-lumbia, the larger cities In whichthere are dispensaries, are known as"wide open" places, grocers, druggists,clubs and saloons selling liquors open-ly in competition with the dispensar-ies. BarB are run wide open, nightand day. In Charleston, and nearly allof the grocers deliver liquors uponorder.
Periodical spasms of enforcing thelaw occur, but the violators are sub-jected to merely a nominal fine, which,as the raids occur not more frequentlythan twice a year, does not worry thedealers, who consider the payment ofabout $200 a year In fines as muchcheaper than a license under whichthey would be restricted to early clos-ing hours and the inspection of theirplaces by a commission and the po-lice.
There have been times when the lawwas quite strictly enforced in Char- -

leston, and then tne violators werekeepers of what Is known as "blindtigers." Most of the "blind tigers"are either cellar dives or upstairs club-room- s,
and the hoisting stairs to aclub are one of the sights of the city.These stairs swing on iron bearingsabove the ground floor in an alleywayalongside the building and are hoistedby a chain device. The guard is oftenseen standing at the foot of the stairs,and when a customer ascends. If thereis any danger of a sudden descent bythe police upon the place the stairsare raised. As there Is no othermeans cf entrance to the buildingabove the first floor it requires sometime for the police to procure lad-
ders and get into windowB in makinga raid and this gives the proprietorsand their help sufficient time to hideor destroy their stock and utensils be-
fore the police enter.The dispensaries of Charleston, as
well as in the smaller places, are or-
dinary looking stores, fitted up some-what after the style of a drug store,with the windows filled with bottledgoods. Over the door of one of theCharleston dispensaries Is the signifi-cant sign, "Quality Will Tell."
In the smaller towns and cities thedispensary law is more strictly en-
forced, and. as a general thing, it isfavored by the citizens.
As to the liquors sold by the dis-
pensaries, all that need be said is thatthere is a large variety to choose from,at various prices, the original packagegoods selling for 25 and 50 per centmore than in the north. The largestseller is corn whiskey of the
grade, about 72-p- cent proof,and the tale of this In half-pi- flasks(or 10 cents quite effectually stampsout the "blind t'g ra" In thesmaller places, hecause the cheapnessof the whisky and the guarantee of thestate chemist recommends it over the"moonshine" or "home-destroye-
grades sold illegally.

Lament That England's Art TreasureAre Now Going Across the Atlantic.Mr. Claude Phillips, a well known
art critic of London, now curator ofthe great Wallace collection at Hert-ford house, Bounds a note of alarmIn the Nineteenth Century and Afterfor March on the rapid disappearancefrom Great Britain of the art treas-tire- s
which oy fair or other meanshave been accumulated by Britishwealth. He begins his article on "TheIncreasing Export of England's ArtTreasures," with the statement that"for the last twenty years or more thegains of England In masterpieces ofpainting and In works of art generallyhave been greatly overbalanced by herloBses." Collectors from all parta ofEurope, more particularly the Berlingallery, have outl id Englishmen atauctions and at private sales.
Furthermore, a growing and greater-dange- r
threatens the BrltlBh hold onItB works of art. the competition ofAmericana as buyers. "If the flow ofworka of art westward is as yet amoderate though already a menacingstream, it threatens soon to become acataract, then a mighty river, then anocean, so astonishing is the lust forpictures, good, bad and indifferent,that has developed Itself."

My neighbor, Solodad Jlmenei, &ntndalucian with black hair and flaah-n- g
eyes. Is the beauty of the street.Her husband. Jose serves under thearders of the first swordsman of theMara de Madrid, and this afternoon'.here Is a bull fight. Jos arrived yes-:erd-
from Malaga; he is an honest!eltow, modest and sympathetic, who:htnks a great deal of Ms wife and ofIn two pretty children .who add such
tappines to his humble home. If he:rles very hard and undergoes manyDaidshlpg and takes many risks withli ' bull, it ts In order to bring a littleomfort and warmth to that nest of
love that Just now In the winter isery cold; perhaps It is because of
the fatigues that h endures that he Isknown among his comrades by theIlas of "Senor Fatlgas."8oleda: went to the station very
sarly this morning and when, justifter daylight, I opened my window,there appeared much rejoicing In thehouse of the r. She, seat-ed by the balcony, was hastily patch-ing the red and yellow cloaks thathere and there showed black stains ofblood, hardly dry; the children wereplaying with the ribbons of a rosette;rtretched on a chair was the costumeot blue silk with It's trimming ofblack cord. Soledad was singing, andfrom time to time, said something toher husband, '.ho was changing hisrlothlng in the next room; two turtledoves In a divided cage were wooingrach other passionately and a crestedranary, constant companion of theAndaluclan, was pouring out its
song."Did they applaud you a great
leal?" asked Soledad of Jose."A great deal, child of my soul;
more than I deserved.""Ad you didn't have any accident?""Nothing of the sort. One of the
Duke's bulls desired to knock medown when I decorated him, but I lefthim with the desire, because I didn'tttay there."
"Ay, Pep6! What Joy It would beIf you would only go into some otherbusiness."
"There's no use talking about it;I'm no: good for anything else and bykeeping on at the bull-fighti- I willbe able to provide all the things thatwe want so much."
As the street is so narrow, I lostdo detail of the dialogue. Jos6 finish-ed his toilet and came out into theparlor; he kissed his wife on the fore-head and repeatedly embraced hischildren. Soledad gave her husband
glance of great love, and said in avery sad voice:
"Yesterday I was ill again. I hateo to have those attacks; it makes
me so sad to think that "Josfi's face became clouded:"You shall call the doctor
Soledad. You occupy yourself toomuch with thinking of me, dearestDne; but this cannot continue andmust .be remedied at once, no matterwhat it costs. After all, the year willnot go so badly with us; more thanity fights will be almost certain tomako me a matador.
Three o'clock In the afternoon.The street seems almost deserted;
the stops are closed. It Is a streetwhere workingmen live and it isSunday. Jose has just finished dress-ing; a shirt, white as snow shows allIhe beauties of embroidery and rufflingthat the hands of Soledad know howto give It; the numerous folds of thecrimson sash hide his graceful waist.To-da- y Josfi will wear a new costume,green and silver. The younger childhas possessed herself of his velvet capand, standing before the mirror, Isputting It on and oft, an action whichproduces a strange effect on that lit-tle blonde head with its long silkycurls.
Soledad Is Impatient; the big clock,the one ornament of the almost unfur-nished room, is about to strife four.
"If you would only go Into some otherI'jalness, Pepe!"
Suddenly an unrepressed frown on herfate, she comes to the balcony; anopen carriage, drawn at full trot en-ters the narrow street with a greatdeal ot ostentation, escorted by anumber of ragged urchins. Seatedin it 1 one of the companions of"Fatlgas," dazz ing the p , e. s hy withhis rich, cloak, andsmoking a fine cigar. Jo does notkeep him waiting. He quickly takesleave of his wife aud children andthen, pretending a great indifference,he goes down the stairs and gets intothe carriage, which drive away toget the other "Peon" and the matador.I don't know why It Is, but Jc..e oncehe 1 In the carriage, never looks back;

only as they go around the corner, heturns his head to see the handker-chief which the graceful Soledad wavesto hlra in loving "Adlos."
The bull-fig- must have alreadycommenced.
The afternoon ha become dark;leaden clouds are rapidly hiding therays of the sun and In the houses theshadows are becoming every momentmore pronounced. The waxen candlesof the altar seem to burn with doubleintensity and the yellow glow fromthem falls full upon the white faceof the gentle Andaluclan. Soledadremain kneeling, her lips move slow-ly; In her hands there Is neither crossnor rosary, for the ardent devotion ofthe woman remove all need of them;instead her fingers press with nervousmovements, a little watch that markwith desperate slowness the hours ofthe Interminable struggle.
The night has fallen. Suddenlv ndazzling glitter of lightning flashes out
Was caught and tossed by the bull,across the sky and a fearful stormbreakB over Madrid. Soledad givesa cry and runs to the balcony to seefor herself if the storm will be ofimportance to her. Thedo not return, but the "corrida" mustsurely be finished because, aside fromthe fact that the usual time has pass-ed, the tempest must, of course, haveput an end to it. What indefinable bit-terness is painted on the face of Jos6'swife! The rain has ceased for a mo-ment, and the street Is filled with athousand confused rumors. The shop-keeper of the corner has returned, talk-tn- g
In a loud voice with a group offriends; and the carriage does not ap-pear.
Night! And Jos5 does not come!The newsboys are calling out the extrapaper that gives the account of theafternoon's sport and of the adven-tures of the matador.
Soledad hears nothing. She hastensout Into the street, without heedingthe children that have just come Infrom their play, In order to be In timeto help their father take off his cos-tume of "banderlllero." In a few min-utes she is in the Prado and then Inthe old Aragon high-roa- which isdark, lonely and full of mud and thatacrid and penetrating odor that alwaysremains after a rain storm. Some oftue lamps have been blown out by theviolence of the wfnd and among thelittle whirlwinds of muddy lenves thatare blown against Soledad's lace man-tilla, is a bit of yellow paper, a rem-nant of the programme of the "corri-da," which took place In a near-b- y am-phitheater. The branches of thetrees in the Retiro are agitated by con-
tinual gusts of wind and. seem likegaunt specters. A few black cloudsdrift across the horizon, half illuminated by the mist hidden moon. Whenyet not far from the Plaza, she seesin the distance a sad cortege. Severaldependents are carrying on theirshoulders a mattress covered with adark cloak. Two or three curiouswayfarers are talking with the men.
"Poor Fatlgas!" one of them wasaying.
Soledad gives a choking cry andcan see nothing more.
The papers of the evening speak ofthe "corrida" dedicating more thanhalf a column to the fall given to thematador by one of the bulls; fartherdown it says with pitiless laconlsm:
"When the trumpet gave the signalfor the banderilla the afternoon wasthreatening. The rain, the thunderand the lightning gave a most singularaspect to the combat. The banderlllero"Fatlgas" slipped in the mud as hewas planting his last rosette and wascaught and tossed by the bull. It wasnot possible to remain longer in thePlaza, so relying on the benevolenceof our readers, we retired."
Caught and tossed! If the fear ofthe storm had not made the reporter!run away, they might have been ableto add something else. The born ofthe bull struck the unhappy Jose inthe left breast, and as the beast tossedhim, it pierced his heart.
They have buried Jos in the lonelySacramental, and the matador whogave bis friends such a fright wentnext morning to Seville, where be willlead "corrida."
To-da- y the house of Soledad ia aathe left It. The candles of the altarhave burned out and covered tbe can-delabra with smoke and (tains; thecrested canary Is singing sadly becausethere i no one to give him bis seed;
the balconies remain open; the children are being cared for by the neigh-b- or
on the third floor, and in thenext house someone Is playing on thapiano the "Alegrias y Penas," and thevoluptuous waltzes of Walteudfel, andIn the doorway the neighbors are commenting upon the catastrophe.
SEVEN MILLIONS IN GOLD.
Greatest Amount of Haitian Km Car-
ried In a dingle Vessel."I notice that the newspapers have
recently spoken of the carrying ofof bullion to a foreign country
by one of the ocean liners a thegreatest asaount ever transported,"said a man who ha been with thenavy for years to a reporter. "It Ientirely wrong. In 1885 there wabrought from the mint in New Orleansto the treasury In Washlngtor 0,
and let wo brought In asteamer.
"The government decided tc trans-port 115,000,000 from New Orleans. Itwas first thought best to brin,r It byrail, but this was assuming i greatriak. The cabinet discussed the mat-ter carefully and It was finally .Jecidedthat the safest way would be by water.The members of the cublnet saw thatthere was a chance for a hold-n- o if themoney was brought by train.
"The United States ship Swatarawas first designated to cany themoney, but it was found thut shewould be inadequate to transport thewhole amount, so the wooden, sailingsteamer Yantlc was pressed Into ser-vice to help out. We removed fromthe Swatara her magazines. Thu BheLjgfrom the shellroom were remored. aswere also the sails from the sallroom,so that all available space was utilizedfor packing the coin. The only weap-on of defense was a Gatllng gun.
"The money was conveyed fi'm themint to the vessels In wagons. Asquad of socret service officers watch-ed the worn. The two vessels werein tow and the trip from New Orleansto the Washington navyyard occupieda little more than four days. Consid-erable wind was encountered off Hat-tcra- s,
but otherwise the trip waswithout Incident. The money wag car-ried from the navy yard to thi treas-ury by an express company.
"The money was in boxes oi $2,000each and in bags. My recollection isthat the money was in silver dollars,or the greater part of It, for, whileunloading at the navyyard, one of thebags, rotten from being in storage solong, gave way, and a large number ofsilver dollars were scattered about thewharf.
"The Swatara was a historic craft.John Surratt was brought back fromMalta in the Swartara. The prince ofWales, now King Kdward, paid her avisit once when she was with theAmerican squadron at Villefranche inthe Mediterranean. She was thenthe flagship. The prince, when he sawher, asked:
" 'Is this a yacht or a man of war?'"The Swatara is now in 'rotten row'
in the navyyard at San Frnnclsco,waiting to be surveyed. The J 11,000,-00- 0
carried by the Swatara from NewOrleans to Washington was the great-est amount of money ever carried bya single cratt."
MUCH MONEY FOR CANDY.
Nineteen Million I). .Hurt Spent in ParisIn Two Mouthi.
Nineteen million dollars for coiyly!No, that isn't what the. world spends Ina decade, but what the French peoplepay out for sweets In two months, De-
cember and January. The averageprice is (10 cents a pounds, so you cansee your Parisian sister has a sweettooth of no mean proportions.
France makes about 143,299,000 poundsof confections every year and exportsonly one-tent- h of It. England makesmore than this and exports nearly halfIts product they don't give little girlscandy In England the way they do overhere. Germany ranks third in the candy-m-
aking business among nations,and threatens to pass its rivals beforelong.
The best French chocolates comefrom Paris, Bordeaux and Lyonn, so besure the young man who comes to seethe grown-u- p sister and brings a boxof candy has only the best. The fa-
mous marrons glaces come from e.
Card, Hhone, Cantal, and Clermon-
t-Ferrand. Don't forget that, andmake sure the name Is on the wrapper.
French manufacturers of sweetmeatsare complaining now about tbe hightax on sugar and cocoa. On the lattera duty of $20.07 is imposed on each220 pounds, while the Impost on sugaramounts to $11.68 for the same amount.Even at that French confectionerywould be cheap If the makers didn'thave to pay nearly 10 cents a poundtax of the manufactured goods.

SKULL THAT HOPPED.
Chett Story of a Poor Esquimau WhoCame Too Late.
Here's a ghot story out ot the or-dinary that was told by tne youngwoman to whom It happened. She laa young person not given to romanc-ing and she says she still has, andcan produce, the corpus delicti. Per-haps there's a little love tragedy InIt, too, because It was sad, if be reallyliked the lady, that he should havemet her so late In bis career.
This young woman's brother wentsomewhere up along the northerlycoast of Greenland on a governmentexpedition and when he came back hebrought his sister an Esquimau skullwhich she put on her mantel-piece- . Itwas one of those mantel-piece- s wth arail about a half an Inch high allaround It.
One afternoon the girl was readingby the window in her room when sheheard a thump and looked up Just intime to see the skull roll half wayacross the rom toward her. Shethought It waB strange that the thingshould have rolled oft the mantel-piece because of the railing, but shepicked it up and nut it back withoutthinking any more about it.
A night or two later, after she hadbeen in bed and asleep for severalhours, she was awakened by anotherthump. She sat up In bed and listened.and bump! bump! came several morethumps, not so loud, but just likesomething solid hopping across thefloor.
It thumped all the way from themantel-piec- e until It got under thehead of her bed. and there It stopped.She couldn't Imagine what it was. andafter listening a little longer and hear-ing nothing else she lay down andwen to sleep again.
She had forgotten all about the disturbance in the morning and got upand went down to breakfast withoutnoticing anything out of the way.
When she came back to her roomthe chambermaid was there with thesVuil in her hand.
"Miss Esther, Isn't It funny?" saidthe maid. "Here I've found this skullunder the head of your bed."
Then the young woman remem-bered the noise of the night before andthe way the thing had tumbled off themantel-piec- e and rolled toward herseveral days before, and she thought itwas strange, too. Later In the morn-ing she told her brother who had givenher the skull about her experiences.
"Well, that's rather queer," said thebrother. "That skull was given to meby a sailor who said he wouldn't haveanything more to do with it becausehe couldn't keep It from hoppingacross his room."

AMERICAN SODA FOUNT.
When the Stars and Stripes Rose It
Began to Fizz.
Wherever American civilization goes,there goes the soda fountain.
From the very moment the Spanishflag was hauled down in the Philip-pines the demand for a soda fountainexisted.
The man of the hour appeared, hailing from Illinois. He arrived in Ma-
nilla the very day the stars and stripesfirst waved victoriously over the Is-
lands, and so well did he Improve hisopportunity that he to-d- Ib spokenof as the most successful business manin the archipelago.
He was a confectioner, and as suchbegan business. He discovered thepresence of the first American sodafountain in this section of the far East.A local drug Btore had bought It, butthe war had interfered with its intend-ed use, and it had been relegated to a
cellar. The confectioner rescued It bypaying the price the sbrewj ownerasked when he realized how much itwaa wanted, and In eo doing becamethe first dispenser of soft drinks in thePhilippines.
That soda fountain became a thingof Joy for expatriated Americans. Theoriginal one has been twice replaced.Once In 1899, when a new one waEbought In China, and again in 1902. Thepresent fountain was bought in NewYork at an expense of $5,000. It waspurchased during a trip around theworld, which the owner was enabledto make as a result of his successfulbusiness venture.

whether one is to grow up well nour-ished and healthy or weak and sick-ly from improper food.
It's just as easy to be one as theother provided we get a proper start.
A wUe physician like the DenverDoctor who knew about food, can ac-
complish wonders provided the pa-
tient is willing to help and will eatonly proper food.
Speaking of this case the Motheraid her little four year old boy was
suffering from a peculiar derangementof the stomach, liver and kidneys andhis feet became so swollen he couldn'ttake a step. "We called a Doctor whosaid at once we must be very carefulas to his diet giantthe only cause of his sickness. Sugarespecially, he forbid.
"So the Dr. made up a diet and theprincipal food he prescribed wasGrape-Nuts and the boy, who was veryfond of sweet things took the Grape-Nut- s
readily without adding anysugar. (Dr. explained that the sweetIn Grape-Nut- s Is not at all like caneor beet sugar but 1b the natural sweetof the grains.)
"We saw big Improvement Inside rfew days and now Grape-Nut- s are al-
most bis only food and he is oncemore a healthy, happy,youngster every prospect tocrow up Into a strong healthy man."Name given by Postum Co., BattleCreek, Mich.
The sweet of Grape-Nut- s Is the Natu-
re-sweet known as Post 8ug.r. notdigested In the like ordinarysugar, but Feed tJJte
youngsters a handful of Grape-Nut- s
when Nature demands sweet andprompts them to call for sugar.

18 A TREACHEROUS ANIMAL.
Slack Panther of Africa More Feroci-ous than the Bengal Tiger.
Of all the bin, dangerous catH, noneIs more unapproachable antl moretreacherous than the black panther.Hailing from the heart of the deep-est African jungle, lithe and suppleof body, alert and nervous, thisstealthy marauder exceeds In ferocityeven a Bengal tiger. He is ties onlybig feline that the Hon trainer doesnot venture to train; and he Is theonly cat so absolutely distrustful thathe shuns even the light of day.
Often he will lie all day long In adusky corner of hin cage, his yellowsilt eyes shifting and gleaming restilessly. Even the feeding hour, whenpandemonium breaks loose among thebig cages, when hungry roars andsqueals mingle with Impatient snarlsand impacts of heavy bodies againststeel bars. Is apt to nave no effect on i
him. He may He eyeing his chunkof raw beef suspiciously, and not ven:ture forth until day has waned andthe last visitor has left; to tear meatfrom bones with his long, white fangs, j
In fact, so ugly and vicious In thisbeast, that, frequently he turns on hisown kind, and in many instances It Isimpossible to cage him, even with amate. McClure's Magazine.
The Departed.The departed! the departed!
They visit us In dreams,And they glide above our memories,
Like shadows over streams;But where the cheerful lights of home
In constant luster burn,The departed, the do parted,
Can never more return!
The good, the brave, the beautiful.How dreamless Is their sleep.
Where rolls the dlrgellke musicOf the ever-tossin- g deep!
Or where the surging night windsPale winter's robes have spread
Above the narrow palaces.In the cities of the dead!
I look around, and feel the aweOf one who walks alone.
Among the wrecks of former days.In mournful ruin strown;
I start to hear the stirring soundsAmon the cypreBs trees.
For the voice of the departedIs borne upon the breeze.
Thttt tolemn voice! It mingles wUhKAch free and careless strain;
I scarce can think earth's minstrelsyWill cheer my henrt again. )
The melody of summer waves.The thrilling notes of birds,
Can never be so dear to meAs their remember'd words.
I sometimes dream their pleasant smilesStill on me sweetly fall.
Their tones of love I faintly hearMv name In sadness call.
I know that they are happy.With their angel plumage on,
But my heart is vary desolateTo think that they are gone.

A Fund of Humor.William Winter, the dramatic critic,
is thought by some to write the worsthand of any man living. There mayhave been giants in the past, menlike Horace Greeley, who surpassedhim, but no one his equal remains.
Some yeara ago Mr. Winter wastraveling In Scotland, and having hadmany amusing experiences, wrote anaccount of them to R. H. Stoddard, InNew York. Mr. Stoddard receivedthe letter at breakfast and, combin-ing familiarity with the intuitions ofthe poet, managed to make it ow, andenjoyed several good laughs. Heglanced up at Mrs. Stoddard and said:
"It's from William Winter. Veryfunny. Want to read it?"
"You know I can never read a wordof his writing," answered Mrs. Stod-dard.
"Oh, that doesn't matter," repliedMr. Stoddard, tossing the letter over;"It's just as funny to look at!"

MONT PELEE TO DAY.
Site of the City Covered by 8carredMasses of Lava.
In conversation with a Montreal Starrepresentative, Colin McKay, Who hasJust returned from the West Indies,spoke of a visit paid to the scene of thevolcanic horror of Martinique.
"Where the city of St. Pierre onceflourished," he said, "there la a thic kbed of lava, which Is already assumingthe appearance of a vast gray graniterock. About nine years ago I passedclose by 8t. Pierre In the evening andsaw Its white roofs. Its towerB and cu- -polas gleaming between the frondedcrests and lithe gray trunks of theroyal palms, and heard the crash ofbands in its squares, and the tinklingof mandolins upon the French shipslying in the roadstead, hut now the massof lava covers completely the gay Parisof the Antilles with all Its life andcolor and music gone, as though Itwere burled under a massive mauso- -
i leum of granite. There are no ruinsnothing at all to Indicate that a city of25,000 people had once flourished there.
"Before you rises the gaunt andcolossal cone of Mont Pelee, with itsawful head veiled In lazy and pestifer-ous vapors, its scarred, lava-atreak-
slopes rent with gigantic fissures andwild gorges, and at Its base piled up inprimeval confusion masses of theblown-o- ut crest and aides. The im-
pression which the sight of Mont Pelee,brooding In its uncleanly clouds olsmoke above its hideous and awfulworks, makes upon you is difficult todefine. You are awed, but hardly horrified. In the presence of such evi-
dence of nature's forces you are so im-
pressed with the grandeur and majestjjof her efforts that you do not think ofthe blotting out of such an insignifi-cant thing as a city of men and theirworks.
"To the southward where the suburbsof the city stretched over a level plain,the earth washed down from the moun-tain sides by the rains has formed asoil in which grass and trees are begin-ning to grow in patches. In a fewyears, no doubt, the tomb of the cltwill be covered with the vegetation ofthe tropics, and the now giant andscarred sides of Pelee covered with for-
ests of green. All the rest of the Is-
land has emerged from its covering ofashes in new beauty and greater

" Deab Mrs. Pinkham : I nm very pleasedto recommend Lytlia E. Pinkham's vege-table Compound for womb and ovarian difficul-ties from which I have a sufferer for years. Itwas the only medicine which was at all beneficial,and within a week after I started to use it, there-wa- s
a great change in my feelings and looks. Iit for a little over three months, and at the
end of that time I suffered no pain at the menstrualperiod, nor was I troubled thoso distressingpains which compelled me to go to bed, and I havenot had a headache since. This is nearly a year'aero. I always kecr a bottle on hand, and take a.
few doses every week, for I find that it tones up the system and keeps mefeeling strong, and I never have that tired out feeling any more.

The chief cases the seeret service n:enhandle relate to counterfeiting, but theyhaev also Jurisdiction In a few oil. orcases, which are rare enough to be un-
important, some of these arc: the pres-

Case in Point
The man waa aalklng at a moderategait, apparently in no great hurry,when he reached the aorner, saya theBrooklyn Ftglo.
He hail Msure to pause there to loo'!:after a prt'ity woman. Then he start-ed across the street.
Two wagons, a cable car and a 6f0engine were coming, and the mar;s,ul;-.;- ' it Ills pace. He could h- - v
stor: ni to let them pasa, but he hdm ilitu to spare now.
Ho dodged In front of the twoand found room to wait for
'.no cuble r to pass. But he couldn'twan; he had suddenly been deprived ofi.i ic.st:ro.
Ho estimated speed and distance ata glance, bolted in front of the car,continued wildly across In front of theengine, and reached the opposite surbon the run. He was in desperate haste,or he never would have taken, thosechances. Anyone could see that.
But, once safely across, he stopped,turned, stuck his hands in his pocketsand stood watching the fire engine un-til it was out of sight. Then he wentleisurely along his again, hav-ing ample time for alt he wanted, to do.
Surveyed the Canyon.In preparing for the construction of
a tunnel to Irrigate the Uncompaherevalley in western Colorado, It becamenecessary to make a topographic surveyof the bottoin'of the grand canyon of theQuunlson river for a distance of about1,600 feet. But the walls of this canyon,approximately 2,000 felt in height, areaheer precipices, and It Is impos-sible to go through in boats. A descentto the bottom was effected by means ofa narrow fissure eroded In the granitecllfls, but In order to reach the opporlteside of the river, with the aid of a simi-lar fissure, the surveying party had tomake a detour of about 150 irtles. Inall, four extremely perilous descentswere made to the bottom of the canyon.In places it waa necessary to let the mendown over cliffs several hundred feetby means of ropes.
Maw Zealand's Great Geysers.The statement is generally made that
the principal geyers of the Yellowstonepark greatly exceed in size and power allothers in the world. Mr. J. A.
