Wonderful Ftffniw.
I One of the most marvelous workmen
in the world is Hananuma Masakiohi
of Tokyo, who has carved a figure in
wood so like himself that when the two
are placed eider by side it is said to be
almost impossible to tell which lives
and breathes and which does not.
By several connoisseurs in art this
wooden figure has been pronounced the
most perfect and human image of man
ever made. Masakiohi has faithfully
reproduced every scar, vein and wrinkle
to be seen on his own body. The figure
is composed of 2,000 pieces of wood,
dovetailed and jointed with each won
derful skill that no seams can be de
tected.
Tiny holes were drilled for the recep
tion of hairs, and the wooden figure has
glass eyes and eyelashes in which no
dissimilarity to Masakiohi’sown can be
detected.
The Japanese artist posed between
two mirrors while modeling this figure,
and for some time after its completion
he posed frequently beside it, to the
confusion of~spectators, who were often
entirely at a loss as to which was the
artist. The figure stands with a little
mask in one hand and an instrument
for carving in the other. The lifelike
eyes are apparently gazing at the mask,
and the face wears « look of Intense ab
sorption.
The Opium Cannot*.
“'Well, now, can you, from your ex
tensive experience, give us your opinion
as to the state of Chinese opinion in re
gard to the opium habit, looking at the
state of things not only among the
working classes, but also the merchants,
the literati, the official classes, and also
can you tell us what you saw during
your sojourn in the interior which
would give you an opportunity of form
ing an opinion as to how the Chinese
regard this question?”
“As regards Chinese popular opinion
in respect to the opium habit, it is de
cidedly against it There is a common
Cantonese saying which sums up rather
appositely ‘the ten cannots’ with regard
to the opium sot. It says, ‘First, give
up the habit; second, enjoy sleep; third,
wait for his turn when sharing his pipe
with his friends; fourth, rise early;
fifth, be cured if sick; sixth, help rela
tions in need; seventh, enjoy wealth;
eighth, plan anything; ninth, get cred
it, even when an old customer; tenth,
walk any long distance. ’ That, I think,
sums up the popular view of the Chi
nese with regard to the opium habit ”

Bow Galvin Caught Ward Napping.
“There never was a pitcher in this
country who could excel old Jimmy
Galvin in catching base runners nap

seeing the old fellow catch the foxiest
base runners in the country asleep off
the bags with the quickest kind of a
motion. There was one occasion when
‘Gavie’ played a star trick of this kind
on Johnny Ward. The Pittsburgs were
playing the New Yorks, and the score
was very close, in favor of the former.
The New Yorks had two men on bases,
and Ward at the bat, with two out
Galvin signaled to George Miller to step
to one side of the plate and deliberately
gave four balls to Ward. Johnny trot
ted to first and the next instant Galvin
caught him napping, big Beckley block
ing him off. It was a put up job, and
old ‘Gavie* didn’t do a thing to Lawyer
Ward but laugh at him all the way to
the bench. It was a feather in the old
man’s cap, for Ward at that time was
the star base runner of the League. ”

A REPRESENTATIVE PIRATE.
Captain Kidd Waa Utterly Witteaet Asqr
Sena* ot Honor.
It is said that Kidd showed no re
pentance when he was tried, but insist
ed that he was the victim of malicious
persons who swore falsely against him,
and yet a more thoroughly dishonest
rascal never sailed under the blade flag.
In the guise of an accredited officer of
the government he committed the crimen
he was sent out to suppress. He deceiv
ed his men. He robbed and mtanted hte
fellow countrymen and his friends, and
he even descended to the meanness of
cheating and despoiling the natives of
the West India islands with whom he
traded. These people were in the habit
of supplying pirates with food and other
necessaries, and they always found their
rough customers entirely honest and
willing to pay for what they received,
for as the pirates made a practice of
stopping at certain points for supplies
they wished of course to be on good
terms with those who furnished them.
But Kidd had no ideas of honor toward
people of high or low degree. He would
trade with the natives as if he intended
to treat them fairly and pay for all he
got, but when the time came for him to
depart and he waa ready to weigh an
chor he would seize all the commodi
ties he could lay his hands on and
without paying a copper to the distress
ed and indignant Indians he would gay
ly sail away, his black flag flaunting
derisively in the wind.
But although in reality Captain Kidd
was no hero, he has been known for a
century and more as the great American
pirate, and his name has been
tentative of piracy ever since. Years
after he had been hung, when people
heard that a vessel with a black flag—
or one Which looked black in the dis
tance—flying from its rigging had been
seen, they forgot that the famous pirate
was dead and imagined that Captain
Kidd was visiting their part of the coast
in order that he might find a good place
to bury some treasure which it was no
longer safe for him to carry about—

RARE OLD DISHES.
Fried Grawhoppers and Scorpions Delica
cies of the Arabs Long Ago.
An erudite Egyptian writes in The
Revue des Revues of the diet of the an
cient Arabs. Dog meat, it appears, waa
one of their favorite dishes, and young
dogs were as precious in old times among
the Arabs as spring chickens are among
the people of today. They were also
fond of cat meat The flesh of a black
cat had the virtues of curing them of
the effects of a hoodoo and the evil eye.
Fried grasshoppers and scorpions also
formed a very choice dish. The natural
ist Al-Djahey, who lived In the tenth
century, speaks of his visit to the Ara
bian tribes of Bassorah and of his sur
prise on discovering that they did not
eat grasshoppers. “Nevertheless,” says
he, “there is nothing more delicious. ”
He also says that when he went to see
his friend, the poet Roobah, he found
him seated on the ground enjoying are
past of roast rat Afterward he had
fried lizards.
Notwithstanding the almost religions
worship which the Arabs profess for the
horse, they ate horseflesh, but only the
flesh of draft horses, never that of sad
dle horses. They ate all sorts of mol
lusks and insects. The Arabs were also
very fond of black snakes, and they
hunted them at the time when the rep
tiles were about to change their rains,
the flesh in that season being extremely
tender.
Why He Didn’t Finish. •
Fred Buskirk was born at Ports

a young man. Fred naturally thinks
Portsmouth is one of the nicest places
in the state of Ohio. Fred said: “Every

Portsmouth as I do.
“Not long ago I went over the Ches
apeake and Ohio road and when the
train reached South Portsmouth, which
is across the river from my native place,
quite a long stop was made. Most of the
male passengers got off the train and
walked up and down the platform. It
was after dark, and the many lights of
Portsmouth were plainly visible. I stood
looking across the river at the city,
thinking what a fine place Portsmouth
was, when a fellow passenger on the
train came alongside of me and said,
‘Can you tell me what place that is
across' the river?’ Os course I could tell
him, and I threw out my chest and with
considerable pride said: ‘That is Ports
mouth, O. Have you ever been there?*
My fellow traveler in a very weary
voice, replied: ‘Yes, I have been there.
I spent about two weeks there one aft

A SPANISH BRAVADO.
REVOLTING SCENE PICTURED BY A
CASTILIAN NOVELIST.
A Strifelac D—wlptlua of the During aa*
Courage Displayed by the MeUrod Om
m«1 Who Would got Perndt aa <«g
Itebmaa to Ontdo Him.
The realistic Spanish novel ist, Vaiden,
in ou« of his most popular stories (“Sis
ter San Suplice, ” translated by Nathan
Haskell Dole) gives a description at *
retired Spanish general’s afternoon out
which will illuminate many chivalrio
incidents in Spanish life and aptly illus
trates the reckless daring and courage
of which the average haughty don is
liberally possessed. The scene is a sort
of picnic grounds In the outskirts of
“Meantime the animation bad been
on the increase among the ruffians. The
period of unmannerly action had come.
One of them climbed upon the table to
make a speech, and the others, byway
ot applause, threw u'.wrry and manza
nilla in his face. Another was trying
to lift with his teeth a companion whom
drunkenness had stretched out on the
floor. He did not succeed. He merely
tore his sack coat Still others were
committing absurd and extravagant ac
tions, making a great noise and uproar.
“The count remained grave and silent
drinking one glass of sherry after an
other. But his eyes were no longer, as
usual, incomprehensible and unfathom
able, like those of a. man tired of life.
'Though he did not speak or move about
he seemed a different man.
“The Englishman had taken off his
jacket and waistcoat, and, rolling up
his shirt sleeves, was exhibiting his
biceps, which were really powerful, and
trying to break empty battles on his
arm. Once blood had come, but he
went on breaking the bottles without
paying any attention to it Then he ask
ed the waiter to bring a bottle of rum
and a large glass. He filled this to the
brim W’th the liquor, and then slowly,
without moving a muscle or even wink
ing, he drained it to the bottom. Then
he sat down at the table opposite the
count and said solemnly:
“ ‘You can’t do that*
“A flash of fury gleamed through the
harebrained nobleman’s eyes, but he
succeeded in restraining himself, and,
taming the rest of the bottle into the
glass, he calmly ordered the waiter to
bring him some pepper. He threw in a
jdsch of it, then threw into it his cigar
ashes heaped up before him, and, with
out saying a word, with the same scorn
ful, contemptuous smile, drained the
glass, and, not content with that, bit it
in pieces. We saw his lips spotted with
blood. The company received with oles
and shouts of triumph this proof of an
unconquerable stomach, in which it
seemed as though the national honor
Were concerned.
“Our neighbors in the other booths
must have reached the same happy
grade of temperature, for nothing was
heard but extravagant shouts, the crash
ing of glasses, coarse laughter and
simsilng
“The count was not yet satisfied with
his victory over the Englishman. While
he was swallowing with apparent calm
ness the glasses of liquor which were
offered to him he did not cease to de
vour him with his eyes, carried away
by a dull madness, which soon broke
out His eyes, which were the only part
of his impassivo faco that moved,
gleamed more and more ferociously, like
those of a madman when a straitjacket
has been put on him. The Englishman
continued to boast of his strength. He
was now thoroughly intoxicated and
talking impudently enough to the oth
ers, who were not so drunk.
“ ‘So you are very valiant, are you? 1
asked the count, still smiling disdain
fully.
“ ‘More than you,* retorted the Eng
lishman.
“Don Jenaro started tospringat him,'
but the others restrained him. Soon
calming himself, he said:
“ ‘lf you are so brave, why not put
your hand on the table?*
‘“WWW
” ‘To plait down with mine.’
“The Englishman, without an in
stant’s hesitation, stretched out his
huge, brawny hand. The count took out
of his pocket a damaskeened dagger and
laid his delicate, gentlemanly hand on
the Englishman’s, and without hesita
tion and with a ferocious grip he raised
the point with the other and drove it
through both into the table.
“The women uttered a cry of terror.
Allot us men van to tVwßr wylwtatw*
A few left the place in search of help.
In an’instant our booth was filled with
blood. From the wounds great drops of
blood streamed, staining the handker
chief* which we applied to them.
“A doctor who happened to be among
the bystanders dressed the wounds pro
visionally with the few means at his
dispoeaL The count smiled while they
were dressing his hand. The English
man was as sick as a horse and vomit
ing. Soon the count was doing the
■une, and both were taken to such
roome-as the establishment had to offer
