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 ” -—Opium Commission Report. Bow Galvin Caught Ward Napping. “There never was a pitcher in this country who could excel old Jimmy Galvin in catching base runners nap ping, ” said Jack Crooks. “I remember 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. ” New York Sun. x Full of Business.

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— frank R.

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 mouth, 0., and lived there until he was a young man. Fred naturally thinks Portsmouth is one of the nicest places in the state of Ohio. Fred said: “Every body evidently doesn’t think as well of 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.

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.
