Tseng, who h«« been a contributor to
The Revue des Deux Mondes, relates

to salutations and other details of life
■mnn^ his countrymen which no trav
eler has been able to explain. He de
fends the exaggerated speech of the Chi
nese—wherever to our western minds it
needs defense—saying that much of the
poetry of life in Pekin or Shanghai is
grown in the rich soil of everyday polite
ness. It is for that reason, and not from
a desire to flatter, that a Chinaman replies
to one questioning him about himself:
“I am very well, thanks to your abun
dant felicity.” Again the Chinese of
rank will pray that his interlocutor may
live to see the fabled years of Confucius;

A CARD FROM EARNEST WILLIE.
To all my Sunny South friends who
wore Interested in the chair, proposed
for me by Starling, a warm greeting:—
R «tlng now with refreshing comfcrt
in the beautiful chair which you have
given me, and gathering Ins; i -ation from
^tUa^prstfy lautumn scene (from the
veranda) wrh.' c i this chair enables me to
enjoy, and especially from the sweet
thought of It being a free gift token of
tenderness and from friends, for the most
pert, unseen and ualtnown, I come to
you with a gratitude deeper than I know
how to teil, trusting, though, that
enough of my heart will be seen lathe
words which 1 am speaking tbriugh my
little sister s Rogers for you to under
stand something of what I fee!. Wuat
. hail 1 sar—what should I say? I do not j
know Lisa Sunday when Aunt Judy i
and Mian Nettie, another sweet Sunny '
South young lady,came with my chair, ■
^ aid, on Its smooth rubber tires I was roll I
Par' ed out into the yard—out the front gate ,
and around to the other (more than 1 had
expected), I laughingly told them, “now |
KI just uad all of my Sunny South
friend i around me, Ic.ud make them a -
speech.’’ I might have. But could I j
have spoken much, I wonder? With all ;
those bright, sweet gentle girls about:
to* v#those manly young men, the merry- !
faced Uttie children, a d the middle-aged
and old, looking on me with kindly eyes,
and with the memory of all they have
been to me all these years on my bed, in
cheering word aud generous deed, swell
ing up in my heart, I might have found
then, as now, and often before, that
‘ sorueh rw within my bosom the prisoned
words stuck tight.” There is a point, I
thiak ; beyond which inspiration ceases
to Inspire—to speech; when “the smile,
tlm mute gesture ’ speak, aud when t is
soul fl.iea silence Is as vocal as flights of
_ _ fervid eloquence that reach to the sub
lime. An l with such a scene before me,
m y/heart li led with gratitude and love, 1
rnlgut have found It difficult to say little
more than, “fro n my very heart I thank
you! A id may God t»le3s you all!”
My little sister was away from home
wneu the chair came; and wuen she re
turned a few days later, ah? roiled around
in it awhile, then stood aside, looked at
it and said: “iJrothir Wilile, I’ll deflarfl
isn’t i: so nice? 1, “Y s, indeed,” j
1 replied, “and what must I tell them
all..- Tattle? ’ Aud she with a smile as :
grateful ss facetious, said: “Oh! j ist tell j
them If they and their folks loved us and
our f eias like us and our folks love th em |
_ and their folks, there ne/er would be ;
such folks since folkB were folks,” etc!
And se it is.
And now after all this kindness, I want j
the autograph, yes, a letter please, from .
every contributor. 1 have heard of two I
ort ree, pwrhaps more, who tent in their j
. ..aSPutfci y '-ifth out registering the letter, ;
< MK'M|P*kn*'orceploCt in me mail. To ;
-fdien, iefoi course I feel just as thankful as if -
sob*”'the'.r contributions had not been lost. !
And to all those whose hetr.s were in it, 1
bat who, from some caUBe, were deterred
from contributing, my heart goes out in
love, it is but natural now, you must
knew, for me to want tosei your pi ,-tures
more than ever before. Just as soon as
a favo ab.e opportunity offers, I will
have some pictures made of myself, rest
ing in my cuair, aud gladly send you one
in return. R.dining in it now, aid feel
ing gratefu to all of you for whatever
value it may be in point of comfort or
benefit, I remember still that
“It is not the value of a gif', that Friendship' 5
hand may lender,
It is not me thing’s intrinsic worth, thoigb a
geni of rarest splendor,”
but it is the pure motive that prompts the
gift. And aa 1 have lain and contemplat
ed this purchase of your unselfish girt,
. .-—my heart has thrilled as 1 have thought
of the first, fresh impulse in the many
far-off oosoms that said “I will give this
much for Earnest Willie's chair.” And
as I have looked at the pretty chair, I
thought it is but those fresh, sweet, gan-
erous i mpulses, crystaiiz :d into the object
of their tender, loving wish for my com
fort and pleasure.
While, of course, my heart naturally
turns first to Starling, the dear unseen
friend who suggested it for me, and to
our Aunt J udy, the kind little creature
who. amid so much severe illness in her
family and so many other overwhelming
business cares, has given so much time
to writing and looking after my chair, re
member I lore you all bom the least to
the greaUsi; and 1 will ever wear each of
your names in my heart as an unfading
memento of that unselfish love and
friendship the thought of which is sore-
freshing.
Grateful that Starling’s 'tittle plan”
has succeeded, grateful still if it had not,
for every gleam of sunshine wnose mel
low light your assuring; words have
brought into my room during the years
you have knoWn me; appreciating with
all the earnestness of my nature your
having placed me in this lovely chair,
and feeling greatly honored by your act,
I mast teli you yet, that I would rather,
far rather, know that my letters had
cheered and comforted some lonely, sor
rowing heart, strengthened some weak,
/altering soul, or been blessed as the
means of leading some one of you, not
then a Christian, to happily trust Christ,
that dear Saviour who has done so much
for me—I wou' .'ar rather know this,

Deis Aunt and Cousins: I have b jsa
a constant reader aud a great admirer of
the Sunny South for several years, and
have thought for soms time that I would
like to join the merry band of Letter
Boxers. 1 would have knocked for ad
mittance long ere this but have such
tittle time to devote to writing it has
been almost impossible.
I notice that nearly every new member
states that they think more of and ap
preciate the Household and Letter Box
departments above any other portion of
the paper. I cannot say that ldo, but do
uot think I appreciate those departments
auy less than any reader of them. I also
notice that a great many say they turn
to read the letters first. 1 do not.
Wnen 1 take up my paper to read it I
look down the first column first, andread
each piece as I come to it, if 1 think it
will be interesting, and so on through
the entire paper. 1 am the same way by
a boot; I read every word of it as 1 come
to it, or none at ail. 1 am a great reader,
and am reading almost every spare mo
ment 1 have, but neser derive more pleas
ure from reading anything than from the
pages of the dear old Bunny South. X
think the ie .tsrs in both the Household
and Letter Box departments very enter
taining and often very instructive. X
wish to join the one in which X think I
would frel the most at home, and If wel
comed will endeavor to make my letters
interesting and Instructive.
X would like to say how much pleasure
it has been to me to read over and over
some of Aunt Judy's and many of the
cousin’s letters, giving the authors of
each, but time and space forbid, so I will
only mention one author this time.
He is the favorite of all—Earnest Willie.
Dear cousin, you will probably never
know what a help and consolation your
letters are to every one who reads them.
Of course, many tell yon through the
Letter Box, and no doubt by private let
ters, that your letters always help them
to bear the burden of this ilfl more pa
tiently, but many who read them are ti
lent, though none the less appreciative.
X for one, nave long been silent, though
reading every letter yon wrote, bat after
reading each one I always felt better.
Long may you live to wield the influ
ence you have over so many!
After seeing this one in print, will
know better how to write my next letter.
With love for Aunt Judy and all the
cousins, I am Oneal.

TIIE AMERICAN GREETING,
the uncovering of the head when riding
in an elevator. It is claimed that the
removal of a silk tile is provocative of
coughs, colds or neuralgia, and that per
fectly proper recognition can be given a
female friend by touching tlio hat with
the index finger of the right hand—a
custom, like the greatcoat, borrowed
from the coachman. This “reform” nat-
urallv has brought under review the en
tire subject of salutations, and quite a
controversy is now raging as to what ia
“good form” and “bad form.”
Americans have been called a hand
shaking people. This is a misnomer;
they are a kissing people. Ridicule aa
they may the osculatory salutation com
mon among the continental nations, they
nevertheless in the long run kiss oftener
and more vehemently than any other
people. It would take too long to go
into alV the details that must be exam
ined in order to prove such a statement,
but one very stri king example may be
cited which shall give it a show of truth.
I refer to the stage, which is supposed to
hold the mirror np to life, and doft so
far enough for my purpose. In what
theatre of England, France or Germany
will you find such frantic hugging,
such continuous “bussing” as ou the
American? A Frenchman who kisses his
father, his brother or his chum on the
cheek in a very effusive way watches
with horror a pair of American stage
lovers. He has told her that he loves
her despite whatever obstacles intervene;
she has listened with eyes demurely cast
down, but she murmurs an acceptance.
That is enough. He seizes her and she
Seizes him, and they kiss, not once, but
a score of times, full on the mouth. In
this instance the stage rather diminishes
than exaggerates these lipping exercises.
Most of oar accepted lovers are gour
mands, but not epicures. They exhaust
the honey pot at one sitting.

—each wild tribe or nation has its own
peculiar mode of salutation, which is
totally unlike that of its nearest neigh

Livingstone was received by the Batoka
people, who live on the Zambesi river, by
a score of naked representatives who
rolled over in the sand, clapping their
thighs vigorously and shouting at the
top of their lungs a gibberish -of wel

the chief of the Nuehrs had to extend his
hand iu order that all the big men of the
tribe might spit in it. So do the various

TEE OLD FASHIONED GERMAN STYLE.
In France they sing a different chan
son. At tlieComedie the jeune premier,
as soon as the ingenue has coyly whis
pered “speak to papa,” although faint
ing with delight presumably, manages
to restrain himself, and carrying her
hand gently to his lips he leaves a light
kiss upon it.
In other salutations we have the ad
vantage of our Gallic and even of our
British friends as to propriety and good
taste. A man and a woman who are
good friends, even comrades, are content
to show their pleasure at meeting in so
ciety by a warm pressure of the hand,
and in public, instead of the curt cava
lier nod of the English gentleman to his
hunting neighbor, and the pronounced
bow, almost genuflection, and elaborate
concerted action of hat, hands aud entire
body of monsieur to madame, we see on
the street the graceful, easy bow of the
lady and the lifted hatof the gentleman.
Both have found meaus to express deco
rously their respect for each other and
for themselves.
Having thus made peace with my
countrymen I may go on with their ap
proval to laugh at the queer salutations
in vogue among other fellow mortals.
But these habits have more than vogue;
they are imbedded in tradition, and they
ore bred in the bone of peoples. I was
taken aback the other day when saying
godspeed to a friend of German ex
traction who was leaving for home on
the Lahn. He had lived for many years
in society and business in this country
until he had acquired an American sur
face that made him almost typicaL In
thought, in action as in dress, he seemed
like one of ourselves. But this was only
veneer. The bell had rung to order vis
itors ashore, and we were about to join
hands for the last farewell when sudden
ly he threw himself into my arms and
kiaBed me with a loud, resounding smack
on both cheeks. The impulse of affec
tion was stronger tnan acquireu con
ventionality. In similar cases much can
be excused these effusive human beings,
but often in Germany and among the
cognate German nations the customary
salutations have grown so weighty with
years as to be worse than absurd. This
is particularly true in Sweden, where
the simple function of taking off the hat
to a friend has acquired so many twists,
waves and other elaborate flourishes
that, as in America, a strong effort is
bong put forth to abolish the custom. A
society has been fanned with this object
in view, having a guttural name of »i««

they stand some six feet apart looking

slowly begin to draw near together, each
one placing liis greasy thumb against his

not defiance they approach and conse

FSAjm IrVTNGSTON.
Indifference and Self Command.
Some years ago the English manner was
the affectation of indifference. It was the
application of Talleyrand’s exhortation,
surtout, pas de zele, to the drawing room.
The greatest pleasure, the most crushing
sorrow, must produce no manifestation of
extreme feeling. The tradition indeed was
as old as Queen Anne. Pope’s familiar
tine,
And mistress of herself, though China fall,
indicates it, and the tradition, like the af
fectation, paid homage to an excellent
quality.
The impassive manner was the portrait
of that self command which belongs to the
manliest and finest character. Excessive
or uproarious laughter from a man tike
Dr. Channing, for instance, would be pain
ful. Hysterics in Lady Elizabeth Hastings
would not have been a liberal education
except in undeception.
Self command is of the essence of fine
manners. But it need not go so far aa
with Aristogiton, who had been long sepa
rated from his friend Harmodius, and,
home returning after many months, hap
pily espying him in the Louvre, Harmodius
stole up mperceived behind him and
touched him upon the shoulder. Aristo
giton turn hI, and seeing his dearest friend,
ejaculated quietly: “Ah, how are you?
Do you see that lovely tint ou the hand?”
and pointed to the picture which he was
observing. Even Baron permits occasional
excess. But Aristogiton’s excess of self
command was not within the Baconian
permission.—Harper’s.
Placing Cars on the Brooklyn Bridge.
The operation of getting the bridge cars
on the tracks is an interesting spectacle
which only the early promenaders are per-
mittoi to enjoy. For the past week a
coach has been placed on the rails at the
Brooklyn terminus each morning. The
can arrive from the west over the Central
road, and are carted complete, trucks and
all, across this city and over the roadway
of the big structure to the other side. At
a point where the asphalt work begins
there is a switch which pfohably has es
caped the observation of 80 per cent, of
those who cross by the promenade.
Beaching this point, the truck la
“blocked,” and the switch continued to
the roadway at the height of the truck.
Then the car is run on the rails direct and
•o to the main tracks. The work can only
be done in the early morning, when travel
practically is at a standstill. The mem
who manage this quick transfer hare all
arrangements made to a nicety, and no do-
lay results. The operation Is
to witaess.—New York Star.
