(A Jap eie Temple and Bn. - . .If I were a good Buddhist I would sav a prayer or two to the Chioin-bell, the largest in -Japan, but a monster breathing sweet music that thrills one from head to foot, and ringing so seldom that the dates are kept in mind carefully, lest one miss the great treat. The bell bangs in a shady little place at the top of a stone staircase by itself, and is struck, from the outside by a swinging beam that gives the soft reverberations that do not jar on the ear, no matter how powerful they are. When the huge beam is unchained and swung it is generally at the time of tho 9 o'clock mass in the morning, and heavy sleepers have been unconscious of tho musical booming and missed it alL Others are wakened by the strange vibration and the soft music ringing and pulsating on tho" air, and in tho half consciousness of waking it seems like part of some beauti ful dream. It is the greatest pity that with such a magnificent bell the temple does not see fit to ruu? it of tener. ' The Chioin is a rich temple, and its altar ono of tho .most gorgeous in Kioto, amass of carved and gilded ornaments surrounding a massive gilded shrine. Oc casional worshipers como and kneel on tho mats and mutter their prayers, but most often one unds tho only occupant of the space before tho altar is a lone old priest industriously hammering away at i modem drum shaped like a huge round ileigh bell. From S o'clock in the morn ing until the temple closes at 4 in the afternoon tho thunk, thunk keeps up. A nice old woman, who must be a profes sional mender, from the incessant patch ing and darning of blue cotton garments that she keeps up, takes caroof the shoes while 'one roams the temple stocking footed, but she does not offer to mend tho foreign stockings one wears out on matted and polished wood floors. Kioto Cor. Globe-Democrat. Shadow's" a Saspected Man. Tho work Of shadowing a man is easier than a person who has never been in the business would think. You must first study your man thoroughly, so you would know him if you only saw ono of his boots, and you must do this without attracting his attention, which is not always a simple thing to do. A man who is to bo shadowed is always a T"an who has reason to suspect that he will bo shadowed, and consequently he will be on his guard and very watchf uL If the man is not an experienced criminal one detect ive ought to be able to follow him day and night as long as there is any necessity, but if hois an old hand one mar, cannot do the work, and can only queer it by trying it. There should be three or four shadows, each one ready to take up tho work when for any .reason tho person who is following the man deems it prudent to quit. lou seo an old criminal has many do. vices for finding out if ho is beintr watched. Ho will jump on a car, ride a block and get off. Well, if you have not got another man ready to take up the trail then, you will flush your bird. Or he will get into a cab and ride a block or two and get out. We must bo prepared for all that sort of thing. Usually tho shadow will keep on the other sido of the street from' his man, from a half to a whole block-behind him, and pay as much, at tention to keeping himself from being noticed as to watching the other fellow. It is work that not one detective in twenty can do scientifically, although some men aro very expert. I know a man that saw a criminal mako out an improper voucher, went with him and saw him get a check for it, then walked with him to tho bank, saw him cash the check, and arrested him while he was counting the money. Detective in Chicago News. Tixiag Up the Paate. When the interstate commerce bill went into effect; by the way, it was supposed that free passes would, be everywhere abolished. The railroad passenger agents and managers so announced with a flour ish of trumpets. But where a railroad man wills he still finds a way. As an il lustration, I may mention the case of a friend who applied recently for a pass over a trunk-line to a western 'city, scarcely expecting to get it. yet being compelled by "his circumstances, and feel ing that for indirect services long ago rendered he was entitled to transporta tion. He' was told that he could only get a pass within the lines of the state in which the main line of the system is incorpo rated, or between any two points within the boundaries of a single state. "Can't you fix me up for all the states in that way," he asked, "except.between the sta tions" when you cross the state lines, and let me pay for that distance' to the con ductor?" ,The man of passes smiled good naturedlyas he said: "Yes, I might, but 111 tell you what.ril do.. I know you are entitled to' tho consideration, and 111 just engage you in my .traveling advertising corps for a couple of, days. You .shall hVre your "traveling-expenses for your services. Here; are the passes." A wink and-a pleasant. nod accompanied the de livery of the -bits of paper, which had meanwhile been filled up, and my friend came away wiser and happy. New York Tribune. Sot a "I doubt .very much- if a confirmed 'drunkard was ever reformed by punish ishment," says Dr. 'L. W. Baker, superin tendent" of the Family Home for nervous "invalids' at BaTdwinsville, Mass.,. in an article on the medico-legal treatment of drunkards. . The doctor cites tha follow ing facts. in--proof: At the international prison congress- in ISTl'it' was stated that not one in a thousand", persons committed .- i jau ioc ineoneiy ever recovered: Be fore a committee of the house of lords in England men, of .the largest experience .testified that ' they -had never heard of a case of refbrmatiqn of inebriates from .punishment by fines and imprisonment. This; .testimony is confirmed by prison authorities all -over "the country.- In the vast .majority of cases the first sentence is speedily followed- by others. In 1879 .Massachusetts punished by fine and fan- prisonmeht over 17.000 inebriates, more .than 16.000.of whom had been in'prisoc before. Of the 56,000.inebriates coming under legal notice in New Yorlcin 183 less than 1,000 were punished for the first ifme.. .All others had been "sentenced be fore for,. the same cause." One man had been sentenced to Deer Island, near Bos ton, .75 times for drunkenness, and many cases have been known of men who have been aent to jail and workhouses from 20 to 20Q time for the. same reason.- Herald of Health.

' White- ley's is not a store, but 'a whole congqries of stores, each as accessible to butras.dis tinct from tho other as the .dining room is from thdparlor on 'a.-.floor" .with folding doors. What in the usual run of ;. dry goods stores, occupies a counter or at most but a room such as the silk depart ment, the linen department, tho costume, department, etc. had at '-Whiteley's a large and imposing store- to itself. ;Tho jewclry'store is a superb establishment, the furniture house'is magnificent; china, glass, ironmongery. 'dressmaking, sewing machines, coiffures, toys, Japanese and Indian curios, each and all have stores devoted exclusively to themselves, large openings giving communication through the entire series of -'establishments. ADDmOKAI, ESTABUSHHESTS.- This would be wonderful enough but there are surprises at Whiteley's;. a' pro- 1 vision store of extensive dimensions ad joins an excellent restaurant, the restau rant leads into the aviary,' conservatory and live stock "establishments; Thero ia a well supplied wood and coal' office.: Pi anos are upstairs in a store of their "own; near them ia a large hall, decorated 'with flags, statuary, tables and chairs in: pro fusion. Here a dinner of several hundred covers may be given, or ordered for any place, town or country", with every acces sory, from the banquet itself to tho waiter who "serves it; all provided, by Whitelcy. I had nearly forgotten to name a charming picture gallery, where many original works of great beauty aro dis played, and where orders are taken for copies of any masterpiece ontho walls of any of the great galleries of Europe. Whiteley is also a banker. Yon may buy or soli money on his premises. You ' may take your passage by any steamer for any port. You may hire a servant; bury a de ceased friend; put your belongings up at auction; purchase, sell, build ortake down a house. In short, there is not a single transaction in lifo relating to trade which w mieiey is not willing to make for -you. No wonder he calls himself "the univer sal provider." Such a business as White ley's must speedily make a .man .a. bank rupt or a millionaire; and as disaster has not overtaken him, it is presumed that Whiteley has" a good account at his own and other banks. His establishment has suffered frequently from fires, whoso strangely persistent recurrence irresist ibly suggests incendiarism. In the matter of cheapness I find! very little difference between Whiteley's and other establishments which are not 'es pecially devoted to wealthy customers, as are GUIow's in the furniture line,- and Lewis & Allenby in the dry goods.- An honest price prevails, and if an American visitor sees anything he or she likes at Whiteley's, I would advise him or her to purchase it without further ado, as it would be a waste of timo to run all over London to try to find the same article at a lower price. AT THE BOH KABCnC For one American who has heard of Whiteley's in London, ninety' and nine have heard of the Bon Marche in Paris. Persons who know no other single word in. French are aware that bon marcho means "cheap." This famous store is in deed a marvelous place. Outside of a few little knickknacks known as articlef de Paris, the vast establishment is en tirely devoted to the sale of dry goods. No wonder the American woman, with her national love for shopping, revels in hours spent in flitting from one counter to another. Gloves aro to tho right of her, flowers to tho left .of her,- silks are in front of her, lace is beyond. Are these beautiful things really, or only in ap pearance, cheap? Why, the truth is they aro sold at the market price. Examine well anything that is offered below the current rates, and you will discover a reason. I will call the attention of American ladies to a custom which prevails at tho larger shops in Paris, by which our coun trywomen are misled, though no deceit is willfully put upon them; it arisesjsiaply from a difference of custom between -the French and American merchant. When a price is seen upon a remnant in America, tho purchaser knows that the marked figure is tho price of the whole remnant, while in France the marked figure means per yard or rather meter, according to the French measurement. Thus, if an Ameri can lady sees some attractive pieces' of lace or silk, marked variously from $2 to $10, and decides to take some or many of these remnants, it comes, as a very dis agreeable surprise, to find out that the articles were at so much per yard, and that the shopkeeper will now measure the yards. Often the price is but a few sous reduction per yard on the original figure asked, and the purchaser finds herself with awkward lengths of goods showas tempted to buy only in the Mrs. Toadies spirit. To bo sure, at the Bon Marche the privilego is given of e-htmginfr articles which a purchaser may bo dis satisfied with if no harm has come to them. Even money is, under certain cir cumstances, returned. London Cor. Bos ton Transcript. Dew Chtaew HUtory Is trrlttes. Chinese history is compiled, by si per manent commission of accomplished literary men, who are always at work -upon it In 1737 an imperial edict stated that history ought not to be written for the emperor's use only, and remain shut np in golden caskets and marble cham bers; it ought to be mado accessible to all officials, that they may know the mind of tho emperors and the laws of the land. From the Chinese standpoint, history is divided Into two parts one an exact nar rative of events, the other a record of what "the emperor has said and done. This division originates two sets of pub lications;, one in which the officers speak, the other in which the' emperor' is the spokesman. ' In' the first, the industrv of the bureau of history is run in the collec tion of facts, but there is always, a "dan ger that the recorder may. be under a strong court influence.. Historical can dor can scarcely find a place in reference, to nations or persons who have been in conflict with. the court.- With .this ex ception, the array of facts .thus recorded is most valuable. . , The edicts published in the second series express the "mind of the emperor. He Is always a man who .has the advantage of good training, and if his style is toler able, and he happens to. be fond of .writing his edicts himself, they will all be trans mitted to future- times' in fulL The' scribes, who -stand -.writing when he. .speaks, translate his spoken' words 'info' official phrases, and his opinions and de cisions will then pais into official history, .written partly by himself and partly by the scribes' of the -cabinet. Besides these there -are . various . series of' historical . works the first having been prepared in -tho'FJeventh century to popularize the subject and place the chief facts of the Chinese annals within the reach of com mon readers, who have not 'the" oppor tunity to study them' in full The last ef these has just been published. 'It deals with" the reign of Kienlung, -from 1735-to-to 1795. and is ip, sixty. volumes. Every important public matter is recorded under, the dayonwhlch'it occurred. The em-" peror has; as usual, the lion's share of the talking, and there is room for him to say a .good deal in. 120 chapters. North vuina neraia. ' Oat. sad tho Doe..

By passing expired air, whether of human beings or of animals, through water, a solution was obtained which, in jected into the veins of animals, invari-. ably gave rise to the same symptoms a slower breath,, a rapid lowering of the temperature, a considerable paralytic weakness, especially of tho hinder limbs, and, after throe or four 'days, a morbid activity of the heart. ' - Larger injections induced excessive con traction of the pupils, increased paralysis, and a diarrhoea, something like that of cholera. The eminent surgeons who con ducted these experiments are disposed to regard pulmonary consumption as largely duo to this poison. If future experiments should establish this view, it must greatly emphasize the supremo importance of thorough ventilation in our homes and churches and all places for public gather ings. Youth's Companion. A Festale Book- Aceafa THamph. There is a crusty old bachelor who has an office in one of the tall buildings on La Salle street. His pet aversion is the book canvasser, although he has a score of minor aversions, all of which serve to bring out the rough side of his' nature. The other day he was visited by a modest looking young lady, who was soliciting subscriptions for the "Art Treasures of Italy," in tho endeavor to provide for the wants of her widowed mother and her self. As she entered the door-the old man looked up, and, without waiting to learn the mission of his fair visitor, yelled out: "I haven't any money to give away for charity today," ami went on with his writing. Tho young lady ad vanced still further into the room, and again tho old fellow called out: "And I never buy any tickets for Sunday school excursions, either." By this tune the young lady had approached the desk, and modestly informed him of the object of her visit. "Whatl A.book peddler! Ho, ma'm; no books for me. Haven't time to talk to you. Go away and don't come here anymore." Tho girl turned away somewhat angry and seriously disappointed, but she said quietly, "There is ono .book, sir, -you ought to buy and study welL" "What's that?" gruffly inquired the old man. " 'The Ethics of True Politeness,' " was the reply. "How'sthat?" sputtered .the old gen tleman, and his face grew red. "Come here, young woman; let's see what you've got to sell." And in less than ten minutes thereafter the name of the crusty old man adorned her subscription book. Chicago Herald. Calted States Amy Scoata. United States army scouts may be di vided into two classes: white men. who rank as chief of scouts, and Indian scouts, who aro organized as military companies. Tho white scouts are usually men who have been employes of the San Carlos and Mescalero Apache reservations, or Indian agencies. They are, from constant assod' ation with the Indians, well acquainted with their character and habits, and fre quently speak a little Apache. The Apaches, with few exceptions, speak Spanish, and it is usually the language they use in communicating with the In dian agent and the employes of the agency. A white man who makes himself useful to the Indians by doing them little favors is, in time, taught "to read sign." This maybe said to complete the education of a chief of scouts. It would be beyond the scope of a news paper article to describe how "sign" is read, nor would anything save practical demonstration convey any comprehensive idea to the reader. A scout who can read "sign" can tell you by examining a trail over which horses have passed if they were ridden or led, and if both, the num ber ridden and the number led. Even when shod he can tell whether the horses were American or Mtrrirnn if the trail bo made by men on foot, he can tell if it be an Indian trail, or simply the trail of Mexicans wearing moccasins. In a hostile party he can tell by the trail how many aro bucks and how, many are squaws and children, and so on over a field of observa tion as extensive as interesting. The scout thus qualified finds no difficulty in obtaining employment in the southwest, where Apache outbreaks are of almost yearly occurrence. Con A. Mahony in rFrofanity Aarmag the -B-jiii- I heard an Englishman say, not long ago. that the reason he liked to be asso ciated with a certain man In business, al though that man was not very prompt in paying him his salary, was, that ho always spoko to him as a gentleman, and never swore at him. Another man who -offered him a better position", he hesitated to go with because he peppered his conversation- with oaths. Not that the Englishman was such a tenderfoot, but he( did not like such rough language" He said that it irritated him to have a man say to him, even though he meant to be perfectly amiable, "Where the h have you been all this time?". It was a form of greeting which, while intended to be cor dial, was.unpleasant. He did not deny that Eni lishmenawore. but he said he never heard oaths amoncr the sam0 class of Englishmen as were used by Americans of the same set. Of course you do not txnect to hear, a woman .use profane expressions, but an' English woman will 'not use anjr of the -violent words' that even an.American lady has- in her vocabulary. Yon may offend an Eng lish woman to the last point' of -her en duranee, but she will only be vexed," or, under unusually strong emotion; "very vexed. " I noticeNthat. the young Ameri cans, whose lives'sre devoted to imitating English manners are -very soft spoken, and their great aim seems to be self sup pression.' They consider it. bad form to show anv emotion as all New York Sun. ..Thetr.WesTiMa Hats..

There Is a great deal to ssy why Sunday goes bowling along as it does. --There is bo much, to do. and 'only' .Sunday to do it ' in; there is somuch to enjoy, and, only Sunday to' enjoy it in. Sunday has been set apart as the day when . people come to do these things, and. hav-7 uig come, must not these things be done? If ono could see the delightful things winch tbev have on band all ready to be enjoyed whenever the members choose to take them! There's the lake stocked with fibh; then there, are a dozen or more sail boats dancing and sitting in the sunlight; then in the boathousothe different gentle men keep their raceboats and wherries, all 'tilted up -in their cradles, trim and ready at a moment's call, with their'dainty oars at hand, their fishlng-tackleand'aU tho many things which a novice, cannot understand, just handy with boatmen to call up by a nod or-a look. Besides these, things in-the boatbouso are two. beautiful canoes hanging to the roof made out' of giant trees. At. night the waterfall at the bridgo is lit by electricity, which passes under it. One of the many lovely things in Tuxedo is the dining hall, which is a spacious round piazza, covered with striped awnings, where you breakfast. lunch and dine, looking out always upon tall, graceful trees and a lovely lawn, which slopes in a most graceful sweep down to the water's edge. One can scarcely describe the dainty look of the little tables at dinner time, with their shaded pink candles, where not moth nor a millow, a fly or a musquito. nor a long legged nor abort legged monster swoops or crawls to extinguish these fairy lights or start you into, impulsive action. A gentle breeze plays about you. fanned and yet controlled by tho dainty pink and white awnings. The waiters glide about, and the only noise you hear is the plash ing of the lake or the drawing of bottles. In looks Tuxedo is an Eden without' serpent. It is also an Eden inasmuch as it Is stocked with animal life. Game roam through it without the sound of a rifle shot. No hunting has yet been allowed. I heard a charming girl who had just been off on a roam on horseback say that she "had seen v ild turkeys browsing on one of the cottager's lawns." While walking we met a doe, who stood near us and gently returned our curious gaze. Quails are aa tame as chickens, and hares and rabbits sit still on tho roadside and let you pass them by, and a friend of mine met a fox. There is a story that when a pair of bucks were brought to the park and let loose to scamper off into the woods, they turned' on themselves and met in mortal combat in front of the club house, and that the docs could not be coaxed from the kitchen door. However, the bucks were separated and taken to different quarters -of the woods, and tho does at length disap peared. The huntsmen were gotten ready, it seems, long -before the game was ready, for they used to come out to drill in the large opening in front of the club in the early days when it was first started. Their dress was beautiful; it was of tanned leather jerkins, with green coats and Tyrolean hats and cocks feathers; while tho ladies (who enter into all sports and games with all the zest of the gentlemen) had tanned leather petticoats and gaiters to push through tho brambles in; they also had green jackets and Tyrolean hats with cocks' feathers. There is one thing to notice that Tuxedo is equally a club for ladies as for gentlemen. It is conducted on strict club' rules, and the ladles reap all the luxury, comfort and freedom from care that the men do. The ladies race the sailboats, for instance, as well as the men, the only difference being that each lady took a gentleman to give her advice, while the men in turn only took the ladies for good luck. The gentlemen we're also willing to play battledore and shuttlecock in the ballroom with the ladies. There was no flirting, no nonsense, only a jolly, light hearted time for all of them. 1 hail even noticed that tho sports which men were supposed to enjoy together, they had robbed of their mystery by taking ladies into confidence, tor instance, if a man wanted bis brandy and soda before going to bed and she wanted her milk punch. they would take it together; they would' sit together before one of those cozy little tables so ready at band everywhere. If she wanted to play billiards (or rather pool) he wa there to play it with her In this way parties were made up. If his dress coat annoyed him she allowed him to take it off. There seemed a great deal of common sense if little romance in all of this, and I quite liked it. New York Star. At the ciuo. 'Jack's just finished a letter to his fiancee."
