birds fluttered amongst wild flowers of
gorgeous hues and unknown names, and
clear brooks of sweet water .wound their
way down to the near sea between banks

origin; and when -we emerged from thosq

feet sounded hollow as .they swiftly trod

legend of its origin:- . .
Ages ago the place where is now the
lake was rand.of such marvelous' fertility
in yield of pineapples that it. was chosen
by . the Chaima tribe for their home.
Actuated -by some evil spirit, they began
to kill the pretty humming bird ("iere" '
tn their musical tongue), although they
knew them to hold In shining coats of
leathers tneir ancestors spirits; and the
Great- Father, enraged at such impiety,
sank their town and its people in a single
night, replacing it with this monument
of asphalt-as a warning to future sinners.

(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.

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.

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

entitled to' tho consideration, and 111 just

"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 stores, each as accessible to butras.dis
tinct from tho other as the .dining room is

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

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

'-PoUoa of Expired "Air.
Recently two distinguished French
: physicians, Brown-Sequard and D'Arson- -
i vol, have been experimenting, and have
prove that expired air contains another,
poison,- additional to those of carbonic acit
and ammonia; to which mainly the dange
ous nature of expired air must bo re
ferred. The exact nature of this poison'
nas not yet Deen ascertained, out the ex
periments cannot' be due either to carbonic
acid or to ammonia.
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.

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

I heard an Englishman say, not long

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

used by Americans of the same set. Of

under unusually strong emotion; "very

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

fibh; then there, are a dozen or more sail
boats dancing and sitting in the sunlight;

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

long legged nor abort legged monster

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

pool) he wa there to play it with her
In this way parties were made up. If his

to take it off. There seemed a great deal
