CHINESE ART IN STONE.

Its Beat Examples aad Some ot It Greatest Defeets. The spirit of purely Chinese art in tone is shown in work such as the great monolith figures of animals and warriors which Cauk the approach to the tombs of the Ming dynasty and in the perfectly plain structures designed for the tombs of the present dynasty. These are composed of enormous blocks of stone brought with infinite labor from distant quarries over roads and bridges which are hardly capable of sustaining ordinary cart traffic and have always to be specially prepared to prevent the great weights causing their collapse. The same admiration for the employment of huge blocks of stone is seen in the case of the bridges over the rivers along the coast of South Fukien, where the stone slabs used in ti e construction occasionally measure sixty feet in length and are estimated to weigh nearly 120 tons, and the bridges themselves have a length of 1,000 to 2,000 yards. In almost all cases where the buildings are not of solid construction the weight of the blocks employed has placed a strain upon the supports which the architect's skill was not competent to provide against, and with the lapse of time the melancholy spectacle Is seen of slabs fallen from their places and of noble and costly structures approaching ruin. In some cases the interdependence of the arches leads to the same re sult. One notable instance of this occurred during Colonel Gordon's campaign against the Taipings, when to allow of the passage of his small steamers it was necessary to make a gap in a bridge of over twenty arches, and arch after arch collapsed Immediately after the passage of his small flotilUi. London Saturday Review. AVERAGE HUMANITY. Most People Are Not Very Good Nor Yet Very Bad. What do we mean by a good man or a bad one, a good woman or a bad one? Most people, like the young man in the song, .are "not very good, nor yet very bad." We move about the pastures of life in huge herds, and all do the same things at the same times and for the same reasons. "Forty feeding like one." Are we mean? Well, we have done some mean things in our time. Are we generous? Occasionally we are. Were we good sons or dutiful daughters? We have both honored and dishonored our parents, who in their turn had done the same by theirs. Do we melt at the sight of misery? Indeed we do. Do we forget all about it when we have turned the corner? Frequently that Is so. Do we expect to be put to open sham at the great day of Judgment? We should be terribly frightened of this did we not cling to the hope that amid the shocking revelations then for the first time made public our little affairs may fall to attract much notice. Judged by. the standards of humanity, few people are either good or bad. "I have not been a great sinner," said the dying Nelson; nor had he he had only been made a great fool of by a woman. Mankind is all tarred with the same brush, though some who chance to be operated upon when the brush is fresh from the barrel get more than their share of the tar. The biography of a celebrated man usually reminds me of the outside of a coast guardsman's cottage all tar and whitewash. Essays of Augustine Birrell. Budapest. "Americans know absolutely nothing of one of the greatest cities of all Europe," said a returned traveler. "I refer to Budapest. Do you believe It has over three-quarters of a million inhabitants and is foremost in many of the arts and sciences? Take my word for It. Why, it has a university with nearly 5,000 students and 230 professors. The trolley, was developed in Budapest. Most of the population is Magyar. Buda has the finest Jewish synagogue in the empire. The Danube, dividing Buda from Pest, is a beautiful stream, spanned by magnificent bridges. The largest electrical works In all Europe are in this wonderful city." New York Press. The Crab a Fisherman. The crab sometimes catches a fish, and it catches it without hook and line. It lies in wait, perhaps in sqme creek, with its jaws extended in front and opfn. Perhaps a school of killies comes along, and it may be that a killie on the outskirts of the school may swim unsuspectingly along through the clear water between the upper and lower parts of one of the motionless open claws of the crab. When it is well within them the claw suddenly snaps together and that particular little killie goes no farther. GEO.W.

SPEAKER FROM THE LONE STAR STATE WON FAIR VICTORY, HOWEVER, BUT ONLY BY CLOSE VOTE OVER QUAKER SPEAKER. In the national intercollegiate prohibition contest held 'in Memorial hall last evening, Levi T. Pennington of Earlham college won second, losing first by one vote, on thought. Charles S. Pierce of Howard Payne college, Texas won first place with the subject, "The Price of Victory." Gustave Hoelscher of Earlham college made a creditable showing and took fourth place in the contest. The men who spoke last evening were the best of six hundred who entered in the contest of about two years ago. The first prize of $100 was awarded to Pierce of Texas. The speaker was forceful and magnetic and he presented his arguments in a keen and telling manner. The second prize $50 in gold was awarded to Levi T. Pennington of Earlham college. His subject "The New Patriotism" was excellently handled and the speaker was cheered many times for several minutes. Fred Mesch Jr., of the Central University, Iowa was third with the subject "The Unconstitutionality of the Saloon" and Gustave Hoelscher fourth with the subject "We the People." The other two men entered in the contest were Everet L. Jones of Albany College Oregon. His subject was "Prohibition and Citizenship" and Ralph H. Blakesley of the University of Southern California with the subject "The Last Stand." During the delivery of the orations the speakers were interrupted by actual count 90 times. " Penance' For Discourtesy. Nicholas I., czar of Russia, was the type of an absolute aristocrat The succession of terrible wars which clouded his reign did not tend to soften his disposition or to render him less imperious. But, rough and harsh as he was, Nicholas had a measure of chivalry in his disposition. He would not tolerate under any circumstances an Insult offered to a woman. As the czar was driving through the streets of St Petersburg he caught sight of an officer of his household in the act of upsetting an old beggar woman whose hands were raised in a prayer for alms. The official was quite unmindful of the august witness of his act and was rather pleased when, a few hours later, he was summoned to the imperial presence. Nicholas soon undeceived him and in the presence of a dozen courtiers cut him to the quick with his Indignant reproof. "Enough!" said Nicholas finally. "You will walk up and down that corridor all night, and every time you turn you will say in a loud voice: 'I am a puppy! I am a puppy." Carried Out Instructions. Every sailor has his story of the mistakes which landlubbers make over the names of things at sea. which always seem to be exactly the opposite of what they are on land. A new boy had gone on board a West India ship, upon which a painter had also been employed to paint the ship's side. The painter was at work upon a staging suspended under tho ship's stern. The captain, who had just got into a boat alongside, called out to the new boy, who stood leaning over the rail, "Let go the painter!" Everybody should know that a boat's painter Is the rope which makes it fast but this boy did not know it He ran aft and let go the ropes by which the painter's staging was held. Meantime the captain was wearied with waiting to be cast off. "You rascal!" he called- "Why don't you let go the painter?" "He's gone, sir," said the boy briskly. "He's gone pots, brushes and all!"

Congressman Burton will be a candidate before the next session of the Ohio Legislature to succeed J. B. Foraker in the United States Senate. Mr. Burton has as yet Issued no formal statement as to his attituda, but he has clearly Indicated to his friends that he will make a strong bid for the honor. Myron T. Herrlck, former Governor, it is understood, will not be a candidate at this time. She Wanted to Know. A little woman with wilton carpet doral designs on her hat came Into the uptown Pennsylvania ticket office the other day and bought a ticket for a point down the state. She gathered up her ticket and asked for a little folder because It had a picture on It In colors of a girl waving goodby to somebody from the end f a train. Then she placed her ticket inside her purse and the purse inside a little satchel and put the satchel Inside her shopping bag. which she carried in a small alligator traveling bag. Just before she started out she Inquired of City Passenger Agent Dillon, who had been waiting on her, "How long before my train starts?" "You'll just about have time to make it," Dillon told her. "It leaves the Union station In about seventeen minutes." "Seventeen minutes," she repeated, "and Is that by central time or eastern time ?' Cleveland Plain Dealer. Only One Alternative. A cynic was smiling at the extravagant attentions that are lavished by the rich upon pet dogs. He spoke of the canine operations for appendicitis, the canine tooth crownings, the canine wardrobes, that occur In New York, and then he said: "How servants hate these pampered curs! At a house where I was calling one warm day the fat and pompous butler entered the drawing room and said: "'Did you ring, madam?' " 'Yes, Harrison. I wish you to take Fido out walking for two hours. "Harrison frowned slightly. 'But Fido won't follow me, madam,' he said. " 'Then, Harrison, yon must follow Fido.' " Leaving Home. I would give a few words of encouragement to any young man who may hesitate about leaving home. There is nothing in the world, so good for a man, say, between twenty-five and thirty-five years of age, especially if unmarried, as a visit to distant countries, to learn other tongues, to see new sights and to experience strange adventures, such as he may readily encounter by throwing aside the restrictions of home life and taking up work abroad.
