They will be worn to some extent, but the late foulards are of the satin fin ished variety, in pale and almost indis tinct colorings.

Herbert Allan Giles in “China and the Chluree” says that there are Htrunge miicoDceptioiMi M to tbe iumu * Ing of the Chinese cita, which has really been worn by that nation for only about ”50 years. It was Imposed by tbe Manti-boo Tar tar«, the present rulers of Chins, aa a badge of couquest. Previous to 1644 the Chinese clothed themselves and dressed their hair like the modern Jap anese that is, like tbs Japanese who still wear what ta lucorrectly known as the "beautiful native dress of Ja- pau.” Aa a matter of fact, the Japan ese borrowed their dress as well as their literature, philosophy aud early art from tbe Chinese. The Japanese dress ta that of the Ming period tn China, 1368 to 1644. But when* did tbe Mautchoo Tar tars get the cue? They depended as a race almost for their existence upon the horse. The accepted theory ta that out of gratitude and respect for hta noble ally the Tartar, so far as be could, took on himself the equine form and grew a cue In Imitation of a horse's tall. This somewhat grotesque theory might fall to tbe ground save that it ta supported by striking evi dence. official coats as seen in China at the present day are made with peculiar sleeves, shaped like a horse's leg and ending iu an unmistakable hoof, cov ering tbe baud, which are kuowu as "horseshoe sleeves.” Incased therein a Chlnamau’s arms look much like a horse’s fore legs.

Among the girls who have entered the service are many from re spectable families, and they have be haved well and decently. The company had apprehended that passengers might behave vulgarly toward them, but hap pily every respect has been paid to them, and the railway authorities con sider the service a success.

Nor does the title to the bide necessarily pass with maklug fast the weapon. One afternoon in the t'beesebowlts- kse river I harpooned a large alligator which towed me up and down the stream for an hour or two and then sulked lu its deepest part. I pulled on the Hue until the boat was directly over him and stirred him up with the harpoon pole. He rolled himself up on the llue lu the manner peculiar to afaarka and alligators and banged the boat suggestively. We rowed to the bank and. making fast to some bushes, hauled ou the line until we succeeded in worrying him nearly to the l>ost, wiieu be rose to the surface aud at tacked us with open mouth. We re pelled the attack with harpoon pole and rifle. The former was promptly bitten In three pieces, but the latter ap parently finished him. It was so nearly dark that we decided to carry him in the skiff a mile down the river to where our sloop was anchored. We broke the seats out of the boat and together man aged to lift the head of the alligator aboard aud tie It. We theu tied the other end. when the reptile came to life and lauded a blow with his tall which lifted me out of the skiff into the saw grass, with the breath knocked out of my body aud my hand aud face badly cut by the grass. Boat and boatmeu were capsized. As my ride had fortunately been left upon the bank, I was able to kill the alliga tor again. We secured bln: by floating the boat under him and then balling It out. The alligator completely tilled the boat, so that my companion and I sat upon bls back as we paddled down the river with gunwales unpleasantly near the water. It was growing dark, and the water around us was becoming alive with alligators. While we were reflecting upon our overloaded condition our alli gator came to life again and shifted ballast uutil water poured over the guuwale. We quickly balanced the boat, only to see It again disturbed and to ship more water. A scramble for the shore followed, which we reached with out capsizing and where we left our victim for the night after again killing him. In the morning our buzzard friend from the Homosassa river, sur rounded by his family, was sitting above him la the tree waiting for us to attend to our carving duties.—Country Life In America.
