Rickchaws and Dandies. ..
In the mountain districts of India
the principal vehicles of passenger
conveyance are the rickshaw and the
dandy, with which Kudyard Kipling
has made us familiar. The ^ckshaw
Is pushed and pulled thiougb
streets and on the roaus leading on
lnto the country by four coolies, and
the dandy is carried on tbe shoul
ders of four and sometimes six coolies.
Saddle ponies are also used to some ex¬
tent, but most of the inhabitants and
quite all visitors use the rickshaw aud
dandy. The latter is constructed on
the pole plan is attached of a sleigh fore box, and but aft, lou which S® r . f- is .
long enough to give a springy motion
when the coolies are walking and trot
tmg. A crosspiece rests or the shouJ
ders of the coolies and is shifted now
and then from one shoulder to the
er for rest. By the command of
cooly in charge this shift is made si

STEPS TO HEAVEN.
Tlie Legend of How Mount Cmi’i i
Stairway Was Cut. |
Mo ,. nt o»i, on the border between |
wegtern chlna and Tibe t, has the long
^ staircase iu lhe wor ld. On top of
the mollutain there stands a Buddhist
temple, around which gather some of
the holiest traditions of that religion
and which is made a Mecca to the Chi
nese.
To facilitate the ascent of its slippery
sides some 20,000 steps have been cut
In the mountain, forming a single
flight, up which the pilgrim toils.
Because of its inaccessibility few Eu
ropeans have ever visited the spot, but
number of travelers have ascended

was forced to ascend the
mountain without artificial aids until

Cash , or Credit. „ ...
Women should not get credit. Nei

Tradesmen maybe would have a bad

The Owner and the Visitor.
His bouse, the first be bad ©ret
owned, befog nearly finished, the Flat*
bush man went forth one fine after¬
noon to Inspect St. As he entered the
front door he observed a well dressed
man standing within, apparently ad¬
miring the beauties of construction and
decoration. In an instant the pride of
the owner swelled within him. Here
was where he would make the visitor
Terdant with envy and, Incidentally,
Intercept a few bouquets for himself.
Stepping up to the stranger, he re¬
marked:
u It’s a beautiful house, Isn’t It? It’s
worth every cent of the investment
and a great deal more. tt

“Yes. I’m the owner,” interrupted
the other, “and just let me tell you
