I v The Temple of Horrors, so called, is j really a temple for the worship of the tutelary iliofcy of walled cities, but it i takes its unpleasant name from the tableaux of the Buddisli hell in alcoves in the court-yard. It is the popular temple of the lower class, and the open court besides its instructive warn­ ing of a transgressor's certain hereafter, is where the fortune-tellers assemble to tell their customers of the immediate future. It is a crowded, dirty place, and we stepped from our chairs right into the midst of the throng, I almost jogging the elbow of an outdoor dentist who had a victim writhing under the forceps at the moment. Among all the other kinks in the Chinese brain the queerest is their idea that a toothache is caused by a nicked worm inside of the tooth. When convinced . that he has a worm in his tooth, a ' Chinaman goes straightway to have it pulled, and all who roam the streets have instructive or entertaining views of the dentist's skill and the patient's nerve/ These outdoor dentists are so common, and suffering men so plenti­ ful, that one begins to think that the 'tooth pulling has become the pastime or the latest fashion with the people. The dentist preserves the teeth that he extracts, and weaves them on strings into long fringes that hang like tassels or trophies before his stand. They re­ mind one of the button strings of child­ hood, and one has often to dodge thess molar fringes in going about on foot. The fortune-tellers are mainly placid, passive, middle-aged men, who hand one a box of bamboo splints to draw a stick from. Each stick has a number or character on it, and the oracle then consults a chart or a book, mumbles to himself and writes out on a slip of pa­ per what the future has in store. The for tunes that they tell are nearly always good ones, and for five cents one gets written out a long string of characters that promise success in business ven­ tures, pleasant journeys, much money and long life. The beggars in rags were trying fate at reduced rates in half-cent installment, and wise, aldermanic old Chinamen in silk coats and gowns were hanging as intently over the strokes of the fortune-teller's brush. Our ven­ ture with the sticks drew something like 200 or 500 stony, staring faces around that particular fortune-teller's table, but as they neither cheered nor groaned when destiny was expounded it could not be supposed that the inter­ est was at all personal. ¥ Some of the Pleasures -or Ranching. For bedding, each man has two or three pairs of blankets, and a tarpaulin or small wagon-sheet. Usually, two or three sleep together. Even in .Tune the nights are generally cool and pleas­ ant, and it is chilly in the early morn­ ings; although this is not al ways so, and /when the weather stays hot and mos­ quitoes are plenty, the hours of dark­ ness, even in the midsummer, seem pain­ fully long. In the Bad Lands proper "we are not often bothered very seri- ouslv by these winged pests; but in the low bottoms of the Big Missouri, and beside many of the reedy ponds and great sloughs out on the prairie, tliey are a perfect scourge. During the very hot nights, when they are especially active, the bed-clothes make a man feel absolutely smothered, and yet his only chance for sleep is to wrap himself tightly up, head and all; and even then some of the pests force their way in. At sunset I have seen the mosquitoes rise up from the land like a dense cloud, to make the hot, stifling night one long torture; the,; horses would neither lie down nor graze, traveling restlessly to and fro till day-break, their bodies streaked and bloody, and the insects settling on them so as to make them all one color, a uniform gray; while the men, after a few hours' tossing about in the vain attempt to sleep, rose, built a fire of damp sage brush, and thus endured the misery as best they could until it was light enough to work. "But if the weather is fine, a man •will never sleep better nor more pleas­ antly than in open air after a hard day's work on the round-up; nor will an ordinary shower or gust of wind disturb him in the least, for he simply draws the tarpaulin over his head and goes on sleeping. But now and then we have a windstorm that might better be called a whirlwind and has to be met very differently; and two or thr?e days or nights of rain insure the wetting of the blankets, and therefore, shivering dis­ comfort on the part of the would-be sleeper. For two or three hours all f;oes well; and it is rather soothing to isten to the steady patter of the great fain-drops on the canvas. But then it will be found that a corner has been left open through which the water can get in, or else the tarpaulin will begin to leak somewhere; or perhaps the water will have collected in a hollow underneath and have begun to soak through. Soon a little stream trickles in, and every effort to remedy matters merely results in a change for the worse. To move out of the way insures getting wet in a fresh spot; and the best course is to lie still and accept the ievils that have como with TObat fortitude one can. Even thus, the first night a man can sleep pretty well; but if the rain con­ tinues, a second night, when the blankets are already damp, and when the water comes through more easily, is apt to be most unpleasant.--Theodore lloosevelt, in the Century. GEORGI.- has one fortune teller who ©an be depended on. She is a young girl, and was recently thought to ba a gypsy by a widower who is looking for a young wife, and was therefore anxious to know the future. The girl said she'd tell the past and future, and, having first received a good fee, she told the man to take off his hat. He did. Then •he said: "You took off Your hat; you will put it back on. God loves you, and i if you don't look sharp the devil will i get you. The fortune-teller then walked away and left him standing, looking "like the boy the oaiI ran over.* _____ The Rag Carpet. If yon cannot afford Axminster car­ pets and Persian rugs, have rag carpet. The only thing that kills a rag carpet for popularity is its cheapness. If it cost $5 a yard, it would be on the floor of every bondholder in the land. There is something about a rag carpet that suggests home. It is not so cold and formal to the eye as the hand­ somely flowered Brnssets that you see in a parlor. As soon as you put your foot on a rag carpet, you feel on good terms with the household; and you naturally expect to hear a kettle sing, and see some friendly cat arch her back and rub socially against your shins. And the man that owns a fag carpet made of articles collected about the house can sit right down with the car­ pet and talk to it It is full of the pleasantest reminiscences. He can see in that carpet pieces of all the clothing he has worn during the past ten or twenty years. All his Cast off wearing apparel is in that carpet, except what is in the crazy-quilt. Overcoats, sus­ penders, felt hats, neckties, gloves, and overshoes glow before him in a red, white, and blue sea that would set a statue peddler crazv with delight I Tlie past comes back to him through the medium of his metamorphosed clothing. Every stripe has some asso­ ciation connected with it. There is the fioi't hat that his hair used to grow through the top of when he was a boy. There is the overcoat that never had a whole lining in the sleave ; there are the tops of the slippers his best girl worked for him--gold daisies on a red ground; and there are his wedding suspenders; they saw much more act­ ive service than Gen. Grant How many times had he made a button-hole in them with his knife! And when one got too weak to be worn longer, he kept himself together with a solitaire, and converted the other into a razor strop. And whon they had both served two or three terms as razor strops, they werj put into the rag carpet, where they loom jup like two white doves against the background of black velvet, and after all the other pieces in the carpet have lost their color and character, the suspenders will be as tough as railroad sponge cake and ready to be cut up into gate hinges.-- Exchange. Women Barbers fur Women. On one of the .women's streets of this town, where the petticoats are so thick that a man is almost as much out of place as he would be at a ladies' lunch­ eon, there is a woman's barber shop. It has not a striped pole in front of it It is too aesthetic for that, and the wo­ men find it in flocks without suoh vul­ gar aids. It is a woman's place in the fullest Sense of the word, run by women and for women. It is the outcome of the usual long-felt want Of course, there were alwava places where women could get tneir hair dresesd, but when the universal bang demanded constant attention these great artists were apt to act as if such ministrations were beneath their atten­ tion. Then they charged enormously. The places where they trim bangs cheap were dubiously masculine; even if they set apart a section for wo­ men there were glimpses continually of dreadful, collarless, lathered male beings, and to the inexperienced femi­ nine mind nothing seems so indecent as a man being shaved. . Still another question o& decency came in.. The fine ladies who have had their hair dressed ever since they were 12 years old, and who patronize men dressmakers and milliners, of course, have no sort of objection to men bar­ bers, but lots of young women in a less exalted social sphere find it quite dread­ ful to ltavo a man fussing half an hour over their heads. "You know," said one not over lucidly, "with the dentist you don't mind; because he hurts you so dread­ fully all the time, but with a barber it is different"--New York Graphic. The Advance of Civilization. Hanging, as practiced along the bor­ ders of the West, has had little that was attractive about it for years--sin­ cerity, frankness, and efficacy being the principal features that I would rec­ ommend. First came the custom of leading the recipient on horseback un­ der a tree with his hands tied behind him, dropping a line to him over a bough, tying in it a four-in-hand be­ neath his ear, and then hitting the horse a stinging cut with a quert in the Hank. The surprise manifested by the horse on such occasions is more than shared by the rider, whose startled ap­ pearance is noticeable for days after­ wards by people who pass that way. Then followed the method of driving the bull team and freight wagon under the tree instead of the saddled horse. As civilization ad­ vanced, wealthy and prosperous suffocation clubs arose and intro­ duced the spring wagon, the Brewster side-bar, the phaeton, and the Victoria. Later on, with the shriek of the iron liorse, came other methods of execu­ tion, and the upper deck of a freight train was utilized, and when all was ready and the victim had smoked his cigarette clean down to his yellow finger tips, the executioner sig­ nalled the engineer, and the other excursionists came on, while the con­ demned gentleman changed cars for the dim and distant country whose reticence still continues to punctuate man's career with a mighty interrog^ tion point.--Bill Nye. The Unwinking Eye. Some people have the faculty or the habit of fastening their eyes upon any person who addresses them, and look­ ing without winking for a long time. It is strange, says an able writer, that while we never notice that a person winks while looking at us--unless he does this with a nervous or disagree- | able frequency, or with special signifi- j cance, or in some way to indicate dis- j order of the eye--when one looks > without winking it is observed at once. ! This was a marked peculiarity of Chief I Justice Marshall, and when some ono | spoke of it to the famous lawyer, Mr. I Lowndes of South Carolina," he re- ! marked: "Ye-?, the old Judge finds it of great utility. When a lawyer is talking against time, or annoying the court with a repetition of platitudes, that cold, wide-open, never-winking gray eye fastens upon him, and I have seen men almost writhe under it, and at last yield to it, though most reluc­ tantly, and close their argument, or what was meant for an argument" NEVER did any soul do good bnt it came readier to do the same again with more enjoyment. HOtES IK SCIENCE. AMERICAN VS. FOREIGN MICROSCOPES. Prof. S«amu of the Howard Univer­ sity has collected the testimony of the owners of over 1.00& microscopes in use in twenty of the leading colleges, the department of agriculture, geolog­ ical survey, microscopical societies, etc., and finds that 050 are American and 434 of foreign make. From the extracts which he publishes it is appar • ent that the native instrnment is rapidly growing in favor--the Uuivarsitj of Michigan believes "the best instru­ ments are made in this country." Col­ leges pay no duty on their imported instruments; henoe their selection is not affected by the tariff. Dr. Seaman •ay: "As to the principle, I ana an American citizen and a teacher, and, other things being equal, I prefer to buy my microscopes of my neighbor, who will send his children to my school, and who, if ho grows rich makinar mi­ croscopes, may endow my college, rather than send afar to one who is not likely to be interested in my success or that of my country. I know professors of political economy do not teach this view; but most business men act ac­ cording to it, though the principle may be unwisely applied. Under it as the rule of our national polity we have made the best and cheapest watches, telescopes, and apparatus for the in­ vestigation of radiant heat; and, if the users of microscopes will only co-op- orate fairly with the makers thereof we shall soon have the beat and cheapest microscopes the world h is yet seen." PREHISTORIC AMERICA. y Intelligent Americans will be intar- ested in the forthcoming meeting of the International Anthropological Congress which will begin its seventh session in Berlin on Oct 2 next. A series of four sittings will be devoted to "America; Prehistoric and Present," and the sub­ ject will be discussed in its largest an­ thropological significance. The con­ gress invites the co-operation of all who are interested in the civilization of the new world, its inhabitants before and at the time of its discovery by Colum­ bus, their origin or affinities, social de­ velopment, iracial differences, the in­ troduction of domestic animals, culti­ vation of food plants, and generally the conditions which underlie the progress and expansion of the western hemis­ phere. The first congress of the kind was held at Nancy in 1875, the second at Luxembourg in 1877, the third at Brussels in 1879, the fourth at Madrid in 1881, the fifth at Coppenhagen in 1883, and the sixth and last at Turin in 1886. The considerations that decided the choice of Berlin for the next meet­ ing were chiefly her great wealth in archaeological collections illustrative of prehistoric America and the prominence of her investigators in evory aspect of the physical and moral development of the new world. POWER OF THE MICROSCOPE. In his address before the Royal Micro­ scopical Society, Sir Henry lioncoe treated the hundred-thousandth part of an inch as the limit of visibility with the highest known magnifying power. Mr. Crisp, however, said that the limit of- visibility can hardly be definitely stated, but he assumed it to be b yond the five-hundreth-thousandth parr, of an inch. Dr. Dallinger, the President of the Society,corroborated Mr. Crisp's observations, and said that he himself had certainly seen objects which were between the two-hundred-thousandth and tliree-huudred-thousandth ps>r4.©f an inch. Mountains to Disappear. Scientists affirm that the surface of the earth is being gradually leveled and that the time is not for distant--a million or two years, say--when there will be no mountains at all worth speaking of. Everything will be as flat as a pan-cake. A mountain on even a respectable hill will be so rare, we suppose, that an admission fee will be charged to see ona A man with a nice mountain on his farm that hasn't been leveled down entirely will fence it in and charge gate money. Mountains may come high, but curiosity hunters will have them. • How rival mountain owners will advertise for custom and run each other's mountain down, exag-_ gerating the height and general dimen" sions of their own. "Take the stage a X station for the Boss Mountain, the tallest and finest in the State," will ap­ pear as an advertisement in the news­ papers, followed by a warning to the public not to be inveigled int > visiting other inferior mountains in the neigh­ borhood that are the merest mole-hills beside the Boss. Artificial mountains will be constructed by enterprising speculators, fitted with toboggan slides, and arranged to spout fire like a vol­ cano in a state of active eruption, on Fourth of July nights and other gala occasions. Mountains won't be allowed to slip out of existenoe altogether.-- T&ras Siftings. What the Nations Produce. In the precious metals Russia comes first as to gold, with $54,211,000; the United States second with $30,800,000; Australia third with $21,000,000. In silver the United States leads with $53,- 800,000; Mexico second, $26,000,000; Russia third, $20,420,000. Of the lesser metals Germany prodcces most lead, $18,009,000; the United States is second with $9,186,000, and Spain third with $8,580,000. Russia is much the largest producer of iron and steel, the values being $275,000,000; Great Britain comes second with $210,000,000; Germany is third, $200,000,000; the United States fourth, $160,837,500, and France fifth, $117,000,000. Germany produces $70,- 126,000 worth of copper and tin; Great Britain comes next with $28,275,100; Austria-Hungary third, $15,550,000,and Chili fourth, $15,000,000. Jiapoieou and His Bile. Napoleon had a queer theory about his bile. There is no personal defect that a man cannot get himself "to be vain of. for one reason or another. "Don't you know," said he to the Comte de Segur, "that every man that's worth 'anvthing is bilious? 'Tis the hidden fire. By the help of its excitement I see clear in difficult junctures. It wins me my battles 1" This is the only good word we ever heard said for the liver, Napoleon, being a bad liver himself, apparently had a fellow felling for that universally detested organ.--Buffalo Commerclal Advertiser. The 'Higarette Eye." A New York oculist says that the greatest enemy to the eyes of young men is the cigarette. Recently a dis­ ease has appeared among smokers which is dangerous, and after careful investigation the best authorities, who for a long' time were at loss to under­ stand the peculiar malady, have traced it, to the 'small paper-covered tobacco sticks. It is now known as the "cigar- j ette eye," and can be cured only by | long treatment Its symptoms are i dimness and film-like gathering over j the eye, which appears and disappears at intervals.
