Had a Rabbit’s Fool.
" The Portchester exchange shows
how a man might have trouble had he
not had a rabbit’s foot in his pocket.
ihsays that “Sam Morgan, who was
struck by a locomotive yesterday,
would have. had a narrow escape from
. death but for his rabbit’s foot. He was
thrown into a snowdrift thirty feet
may, and his neck would have been
broken if it hadn’t been for the snow.
As it was, one arm and a leg were
. broken and. he was almost smothered
. IbefOre a brakeman pulled him- out of
the snow. In his vest pocket was the
rain lit; 'sfoot, c1ushed into bits. Mor-
gal begged the nuise to let him have
th: pieces, which he has placed under
his pillow.I The doctors say he may
recover. I

I1 ouncerning Sealskin Garments.
The “70rcester Gazette tells the story
of the seizure of 3. Worcester girl’s
sealskin sack two weeks ago Saturday
night, while she was on her way from
"Montreal to her Worcester home. Her
father is a member of a prominent bus-
iness firm on Front street. The young
lad3 sa3s:
" 'I was sitting in the sleepe1 1n :1
light dress, with the coat thrown 0ve1
my shouldel s, when the customs ofiicer
enter ed the car. He asked me if I had
an3 thing dutiable. and examined n13
satchel. Then he looked at the sack,
and asked me where I got it. I told
him I had not purchased it in Canada.
but he said he would have to hold it.
He said he had received notice from
WWashingtOu that mor‘ning about the.
new law, and that I was the first per-
son affected by it. I cried a little, and
tried to persuade him to let me keep it
but he was obdurate. He was very po-
lite, h0WeV e11. The coat is worth $350,
and my mother bought it for herself 0f
Dyer, Rice 8; 00., in Boston, fiVe years
ag0.1 had it repaired lately, and so it
looked just like a new one. I think I
should get it back to-m01 row some
time, as the official in St. Albans said
he would do anything in his pow e11 to
help me.”
The young lady visits her relatives
in Montreal ever.y,.yea1', and of course
was unaware that she was violating any
law of the United States in wearing
‘ILéII‘ Real-skin jacket on her last journey .
In order to get it back she had to pr 0-
cure a certificate -Ifrdm' 'Dye'r, Rice &
C0. of Chauncey street, Boston, where
the coat was purchased five years ago,
and one from Lamson & Hubbard of

The Treasury Department has al-
ready modified its regulations issued a
few days ago for the enforcement of
this absurd law, but it is evident. that
the only safe way for any person going
out of this country with an article of
sealskin which' is to be brought back is
to take a str‘n certificate showing just
when and where the skin was obtained.
In case a lady'receiv'cs a 'sealskiu sack
as a present she should ask the person
giving/it to her to accompany it with a
legal document of the same character.

A ROMANTIC ENGLISHMAN.
Sir Edwin Arnold’s Life in the Flowery
Kingdom.
Sir Edwin Arnold, who legalized his
union With a fascinating Japanese
widow 'by an English marriage service
was always cosmopolitan in his ideas.
Surely no Englishman born and bred
has ever succeeded in merging his own
individuality into that of other peo-
ple's as the author of “The Light of
Asia,” and “The Light of the World”
has done. When he was in India in
his young days his work showed his
intense sympathy with the Buddhists.
and in the preface to “The Light of
Asia” he wrote: “This book was writ-
ten by one who loved India and the
indiau people."
For two score of years he was Eug—
lish t0 the core of his heart in the ed—' -
ito_1'ials he wrote for the London Tele-
graph, and in 1890 he came to Amer—
ica. seemed quite able to understand 11s
(as few of his countrymen could do),
and then'he 'went on to Japan and im-
mediately began to live a la Japonais.
He lived in a. native house left his
shoes at his d001, slept on a thick quilt
and, they say, ate in t1ue Japanese
style. In his _bed room he had acheap
European washstand, two Japanese
chests of drawérs or White wood and
black ironwork, and the' usual sliding
cupboards, into which his bed was put
when it was rolled up in the daytime.
The walls of the r001n‘ Were of tissue
paper panels, powdered, with silver
maple leaves, and a clear glass belt ran
aroundIIthe room “at a height incon-
ducive to propriety,” as one correspon-
dent of the day remarked. I
The: drawmg room was glass-paneled
f.om floor to ceiling, and ” the only
thing in the whole house that hinted
at. other civilizations Was an Ameri-
can stove," which stood in‘ due of the
corners. , I ,
With'suchI suritffunding's it is not.
much wonder that the impressionable
ceremony of tea drinking with his
that he 'was content to accept the cere-
mony as a bOna flde marriage is trib-
ute to his kinship with genius that
since the world began has ever flaunt-
ed a. little the staid laws and regula-
tions that ordinary 'rfOlknfind. necessary
to comfortable existence.
It was in Japan, by the way, that Sir
Edwin began “The Light of the
World,” and, indeed, completed it, too,
during his stay of several years.
He says himself that he was in a
tea garden one night surrounded by
music, flowers, handsome dressing and
all the' delicate luxuries which Japan
knows so well how to combine, when
suddenly he began to write; SOL-ab-
Of his companion until one said: "‘Be
Dana Same. is writing," and
then he found he had put on paper the
first lines of his beautiful lyric:

Rapid Transit.
The fact that the courts have decid-
‘ 011 that New York can have .111 under-
ground toad does not insu1e this de—
sirable means of lapid transit for the
people. It makes it possible—that is,
removes one of the barriers imposed,
'Ibut there are others.
It was in 1875 that the first Rapid
Transit act was passcd'by the Legis-
lature. Under that act commission-
ers were appointed and
roads were approvedfand their con-
struction begun. But within less than
'a dozen years the “L” roads were
found to be inadequate to deal with
the traffic and more radical improve-
ments were seen to be required.
A tunnel under Broadway was
planned and a company formed, but
the plan was fought bitterly in the
courts, and the act under which the
company assumed to work was de-
clared unconstitutional.

The Chamber of Commerce entered
the field and succeeded in getting a
new Rapid Transit law thrOu‘gh the
Legislature in May, 1894. It provided
for a commission and the submission
