How Kansas Recame a Stage.
The fight on Kansas’s entranes {n=
to the Union was a prelude te the
Civil War, which it hastened. The
Kansas confifct may be sald to have
been begun with the enactment of
the territorial erganization b in
1884. Both North and South strove
for the possession of the territory,
and in the fight John Brown was
evoived and got the Incentive which
led him to make hia Harper's Ferry
rald of 1889, that Intensified the
tension between the sections and
made the Civil ‘War inevitable. I?
there had been no Kansas confilet
there would have been no hhn
Brown, the Whig party would have
remained on the scene a few years
longer to make its fesble opposition
to the Democracy; the advent of the
Republican party would have been
delayed; there would have been no
Lecompton constitution fight to cut
off a segment from the Democratic
party; the Democratic split in the
Charleston convention of 1860
would have been postponed to 1864
or some other time, and it is possible
that the Civil! War would not have
occurred yet, and that slavery would
still be in existence; though, of
course, its doom was certain, soon or
late.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Rivals Rockefeller's Wealth.
It is bellevd that Sayaji Roo. the
rajah of Baroda, is the possesor of
wealth equal if not superior to that
of J. D. Rockefeller. He was edu-
cated in an English university and
his people are well governed. Much
of his vast riches is in the form of
precious stones. His wife owns the
most famous diamond necklace in
the world. It is worth $12,000,000,
and is made up of 200 stones each
the size of a hazelnut. She also has
a collarette of 500 perfect diamonds,
none less than twenty carats. In the
treasure chamber is a earpet four
square yards in surface, made up en-
tirely of ropes of diamonds, pearls
and rubies. It required $4,000,000
worth of gems and three years of la-
bor. The long corridors of the pal-
ace are lined with marble and onyx
of incalculable value. The palace is
steam heated and electric elevators
are placed at frequent intervals.
Bronges. paintings, statuary, all im-
ported and worth many millions of
dollars, are scattered throughout the
royal dwelling.
Secret Drinking Device.
The sanitarium was for women
only—women dipsomaniscs. A lux-
urious place. The rate was $126 a
week.
“This,” said the superintendent,
“4s our museum. Odd, gratesque,
eh?” The museum was a collection
of imstruments for secret drinking
that had been taken from. female
dipsomaniacs. There was a carriage
clock with a false back that would
hold a half pint of whisky. There
was a muff with a round flask of in-
dia rubber in its hollow inside. A
bottle, was hidden under a rosette.
The owner of the muff would press it
to her face—a very natural and
common movement —and at the
same time take a stiff drink. There
were a dozen sorts of boanbons, can-
dies of all shapes and hues, each
containing two or three fingers of
brandy. A fan—I{t would not epen—
had room for a half a pint {an it. A
number of purses were nothing but
whisky flasks covered with bead-
work or leather, or silver, or gold.
There was even a prayer book with
a flask inside. .
Marriageable Ages in Novels.
““You can tell by the ages of the
heroines of the modern novel writers
that the marriageable age of women
is being extended,” mused the wo-
man who @ given to mental observa-
tions. ‘“A woman can go pretty far
nowadays without being considered
an old maid by the novel writers. I
remember the heroines of my girl-
hood days were all between eighteen
and nineteen. It was a somewhat
audacious writer who made the
beautiful charmer his novel twen-
ty-one years old. ut just pick up
the modern novels. The authors and
authoresses don’t start the heroines
on their mad careers until they are
over thirty, and by the time they
have gotten the girl or woman out
in the center of the stage, plunged
her off, she is close on to thirty-two
or three. I have just completed a
most interesting book in which the
heroine is forty.” — Philadelphia
Record.
How Accents Occur.
Twelve per cent. of all the acci-
dents to people in cities happen on
the streets. Statistics show that the
average citizen, if he should meet
with one hundred serious mis-
chances on his walks abroad, would
slip on the ice, and fall down under
other circumstances, ‘sixty-eight
times he would get hurt ten times in
boarding or dismounting from cars;
he would be knocked down, or other-
wise injured by horses and wagons
six times; he would be bittep by
dogs four times, and he would step
disastrously upon banana ' peels
twice. The remaining mishaps
would be miscellaneous, and might
include one or two collisions with
motor cars, which have taken the
place of bicycles as perils to the
pedestrian.—Pearson’s Magazine.
Curious Legal Custom.
A curious custom is in vogue in
many parts of India. If a dispute
arises between two landowners two
holes are dug close together, in each
of which defendant's and plaintiff's
lawyers have to place 2 leg. They
have to remain thus until either one
of them is exhausted or complains of
being bitten by , when he is
Jullged to De defeated and his em-
ployer loses his case.
Poculiorities of the Chinese.
R Is true that eats, dogs, rats,
snakes, eotkroaches are imeluded la
the Chinaman®s menu, but they are
not staple foods. They are eaten
as little, but also as much, Mr.
Hardy remarks, as frogs and snalls
in France or high game and ‘“walk-
ing cheese” in Eggland. Food fash-
fons vary, too. “The last time I was
ot Canton I saw only one buadle of
kippered rats hanging cutside a shop
that used to deal largely in them.
remarked te my companion that the
supply of rats fell off apparently at
that seasen. Nearing this, the shop-
keeper, who knew some English, in
hls kind desire that I should not
&lsappointed, went to the back of the
shop, produced two dried cats and,
throwing them upon the counter be-
fore me, sald: “They are eating
those now.’ *’ 5 .
Another person, traveling in the
East, says “Before the Chinese were
prohibited fret emigrating to the
Philippine islands the fare from
Am@y to Manila was for them §75
first class, §15 second. Those in the
latter elass had to take a bath before
landing, so, In order to escape this
terror, many used to travel first
elars who would otherwise have gone
second. A whole family of Chinese
will make their ablutions one after
another Mn about a pint of -un-
changed water {in the same basin.”
Iondon’s River Postmen.
It is probable that London has the
distinction ef being "the only port
where the ships lying at anchor are
privileged to have thelr letters de-
Hvered to them by river postmen, Hl
being customary at other ports for
sallers to apply personally for their
letters unless the ship is in dock.
The Thames is divided into two pos-
tal districts, each under the control
of a river postman, who delivers let-
ters and paresls every morning, in a
eraft which resembles a fisher boat
more than anything else. Of these
districts the first extends from the
eustom house to Limehouse, and the
second from Limehouse to Black-
well. The river postmen start on
their rounds punctually at eight -
o'dleck every morning, and, needless
to say, there is only one delivery a
day. The mail bag may include ag
many as five ‘hundred letters, buf
this number 1s largely increased
about Christmas time. As he glides
from ship to ship the postman calls
out, ‘““Ahoy there!” and hands u
the letters attached to a boathook t
the waiting crew. It only takes from
four to five hours to deliver the mall
so that the postman does not wast
much time. In foggy weather, how
ever, it takes considerably longer,
owing to the difficulties of finding
the various ships, and of steering be-
tween the large vessels as they lie at
anchor. t
A Japanese Shoe Shop.
Iike all other shops in Japan, a
ghoe shop opens a broad side to the
street. It seems a misnomer to eall
ft a shoe shop, a place where you
ean only buy sandals or clogs, things
we are not accustomed to call shoes.
There is a low platform in front,
upon which the customer site and
drinks tea while making his or her
purchases; the shop keeper mean-
while squatting on his heels and dis-
eussing the news of the day.
The sandals worn by the risksha
coollies are called warafl; they are
woven of rice straw, and are sold for
half a cent a pair. They are made in
‘the country villages, .and. the .for-
eigner watches the weaving with
amused interest. The prehensile dig
toe of a Japanese is of great assist-
ance, as it is used for catching and
holding the straws, leaving the
hands free to weave. .
Tha pack horse wears straw shoes
as well as the farmer who leads him.
New pairs are strung around the
high saddle, and the slow-moving
beast 18 reshod every few miles.
In the Japanese shop one will find
many varieties of clogs; a few with
the caps, others plain. A few years
ago the social position of a man,
woman or girl was indicated by the
kind of clog worn and the decora-
tions on it.
Pretty Wedding Custom.
Among the quaintest of wedding
cusoms is that practiced at Kou-
manian marriages, where at the ban-
quet following the religious cere-
mony the bridegroom receives his
bride over a bridge of silver. A bag
of coins fresh from the mint is pro-
duced, and the contents ‘placed in
two rows across the table. This
done, the father of the bridegroom
makes & speech, in the course of
which the latter is epjoined to pro-
vide always a silver pathway fer his
spouse through life. The ydbung man
makes a more or less suitable reply,
and then the bride is lifted on the
table and steps very daintily across
on the coins, being very careful not
to displace any of them, for that
would mean the worst of bad luck.
Arrived at the other side of the ta-
ble, she leaps lightly into her hus-
band’s arms.
Barefoot—Boots.
A New Mexico paper announces
the marriage of Miss S. M. Boots to
BE. Barefoot. He now has Boots but
she has become Barefoot. Thus it is
seen that in entering into a marriage
contract the woman is invariably the
loser. But there is no denying that
the match was one of an afintty of
soles.—Los Angeles Times.
The Oldest University.
The oldest university in the world
is at Pekin. It is called the “Scho
for the Sons of the Nmpire.” ts an-
tiquity is very great, and a grand
pegister, consisting of stone col
880 in number, contains the mam
of 80,000 graduates.—Exchange.
