SUPERSTITION RULES THE RACE FROM
ORACLE TO GRAVE.
‘ K»'.- :
All Buainema and Family Mattei? Di
rectly Controlled by Thia Unreason
la* InGwence. Which Makes Brutes
of We Slavish Devotees.
N ivew in the wide world is more
controlled by superstitious notions than
the Chinese. They enter into every act
•'Chinaman'« life, and their influ
ence is more lasting than that of his re
ligion. He cannot move hand or foot
fritbout their agency, and from the
earliest moment of his life down to the
last detail in connection with his burial
their power and influence are the guid
ing motives of bi* acts. All basinees
and family matters are directly con
trolled by superstitious sentiments, both
rich and poor, young and old, being
slaves to their force.
To the average Chinaman hie religion
is a mere negative factor in his mode of
life, to be followed or disregarded at
will, but no true son of Han dares to
act otherwise than in accordance with
the strict precepts of those spiritual
powers which directly control his life.
There are some amusing superstitions
connected with Chinese entertainments.
A dinner party is an ordeal which once
experienced is never forgotten. It con
sists of from 40 to 50 distinct courses
and occupies the greater portion of a
day. During (he whole of these repasts
and notwithstanding the endless variety
of dishes served the invited guest re
tains the same plate throughout The
explanation of this strange custom is an
did proverb, which has now become a
superstition, that "he who changes the
plates kills the housewife. ”
Chinese proverbs explain;several of
the superstitious notions with regard to
women. It is considered unlucky for a
woman to mix with the builders of a
house or other edifice during its erec
tion, and to avoid any possibility of one
straying into the premises all approaches
are carefully guarded by watchmen,
and a fence is erected around the pro
posed building as soon as its founda
tions an Mid.
The explanation of this is the saying,
"Women mix ill with wood, and death
lives in the house over whose founda
tions a woman has walked.” There is
a similar horror of the fair sex interfer
ing with any public matter of national
interest or in any business transactions
where men are concerned. "Women tie
knots, ’ ’ says the Chinese proverb. ‘ ‘ Let
them remain at home."
No funeral can take place until as
trologers and professional fortune tellers
have been consulted. These unscrupu
lous diviners decide the place of burial,
and in the event of disagreement no
final interment cart take place. This ac
counts for the nufober of unburied cof
fins Which are seen About the country
districts in China. Sometimes the coffin
is temporarily deposited in a temple or
kept in the honse of the heir of the de
ceased. Among the poor as often as not
it is conveyed to some sheltered spot
and covered with a mat
When in course of time (by aid of
additional fees) the diviners can report'
that all objections to final burial are re
moved, the funeraL takes place amid re
joicing and profane excesses. The mode
of propitiation generally prescribed by
astrologers is the purchase of some stone
or piece of iron, to which an elaborate
ritual of prayer and sacrifice is made,
or, if the client is 'Wealthy, the building
of a pagoda is suggested, in connection
with which the mercenary fortune teller
doubtless reaps a large commfasion.
The last species of superstition to
which we will call attention forces us
to place China among the half civilized
and brutal nations. One of these super
stitions is that the soul of a dying per
son takes possession of the bed and room
in which the invalid is lying. To obvi
ate such a curse as this the relatives of
the dying person, as soon as they per
ceive his end approaching, forcibly re
move him from his bed and place him
almost naked upon a board. If by chance
a man should expire in his bed, it, to
gether with all the furniture in the
room, must be burned and many atone
ments offered before the room is consid
ered fit for habitation again.
Many strange and inhuman ideas are
associated with the illness and death of
children. If a child sickens and dies be
fore the age of IS years, its last mo
ments are hastened by the horrible
cruelty of its parents. So long as hope
is possible the parents do their utmost
to save their child, but as soon as the
doctors abandon hope the child is strip
ped naked and placed against the outer
door of the house. When the end has
come, the corpse is thrown out into the
street to be picked up by the passing
dead cart _ ,
The reason for this brutality is this:
If a family loses a child before it has
grown to maturity, its parents refuse to
regard it as their offspring, but rather
as some evil spirit who has worked its
way into their borne in Older to bring
rutin and misfortune upon it and them.

BANK’S PART IN FARMING.
How the Trader* la Money Kaahte Sod
Tiller, to Work.
How does a bank help the farmer?
With the approach of the time for
plowing and planting, seeds and fer
tiliser will be necessary. How can the
farmer tray them if the last season was
a poor one? He has spent all of his
earnings in running the household dur
ing the tang winter. He goec’tothe
dealer in fertilizer in the nearest vil
lage and asks, " What is the price of
fertilizer a ton?"
"Fifty dollars,” the dealer replies.
“Well, I will need two tons, and
that will amount to SIOO. ’ ’
"Yea Take it along now?”
. "I haven’t the ready cash just tow,
but”—
"Oh, that’s all right. I know you’re
good for it Take it along and givejne
your note payable in four months. By
that time your crops will be yielding •
profit.”
The farmer gives his note; the dealer
Indorses it and gives it in payment to
the Wholesaler from whom he gets the
fertilizer; the wholesaler sends it to the
‘ manufacturer of the fertilizer, who in
turn takes it to his bank and borrows
the money on it leas the interest.
The farmer gets his seed in the same
way and at the time of the expiration
of the notes is able to meet his obliga
tions.
Thus, instead of the farmer being
compelled to wait until he can get the
cash to pay before he can buy the fer
tilizer and seed, he obtains them when
he needs them. The dealer, instead of
having to wait until the farmer gets the
money before he can sell his goods, sells
them ih the proper season and receives
What is to. him practically cash. The
wholesaler receives from the retailer
what is as good as cash to him, and the
manufacturer receives virtually cash
from the wholesaler.
How would all this be possible were
it not that the bankers had collected the
idle money of other people and were
able to lend it out to good advantage?
The farm would go unplanted; the
ground would go untilled; there would
be no crops to yield a profit
That’s where the bank helps the
farmer.—N<w York Press.

GOLD FILLED TEETH.
More of the Metal Doee Into Them Than
Can Be Got Out.
An example of Home of- the queer ex
periences people have when they are
called upon to buy a thing with which
they are not familiar and which they
have need of only on rare and unusual
occasions is thus set forth by the Mil
waukee Sentinel:
A young woman who worked as a
domestic went to a dentist to get her
teeth repaired. He repaired them and
sent a bill of SBS. He justified himself
for the charges by explaining how
much the fillings cost him. In one hol
low tooth, he said, he put $lO worth of
gold. The bill was paid, anti recently,
when the little nugget (said to be Worth
$10) came out, the woman took it to ! a
goldsmith and had ft appraised. He
weighed it scrupulously and valued it
at 48 cents. She no longer has faith in
' her dentist.
It seems to be AlfrA/a&iod. taste to
"go shopping" among the dentists be
fore having any considerable amount of
work done. There it considerable hum
buggery about the business in some
quarters. The public to told that sls is
a fair prioe for a drown and stands
ready to pay it, on the ground that
good work deserves good pay. A few
blocks away the same work was done
last week tar $5, just as well as if sls
had been paid, and ifwas done by a
reputable dentist One dentist figured
on SBS for six teeth, and another 200
yards away performed the service far
s3o.—Philadelphia Times.
The First Chinese Baby Show.
The first Chinees,, baby show ia the
world has just been held here.. There
were 200 of them. From embroidered
slipper to shaven poll they were arrayed
in their best They wore satin blouses
that shone in the sun with a silvery
shimmer. They wore embroideries of
wonderful birds and bees and flowers
never seen on land or sea. The little
boys were shaven, and the little girls
had their hair stiffened and polished
and dressed as though for the grandest
function, with little birdcages and
fringes of beads and paper atop. There
were great tinklings of metal and much
shining of green jade. A new fashion
in infant headgear showed a halo of stiff
pompons that rose above the infanta’
somber eyes. Others wore huge rosettes
of silk on each temple, like a joss, and
one little girl had a mane of black silk
cue strings hanging down from the
back of her head. Even the baby com
plexions had been looked after. On the
smooth, yellow cheeks appeared the
most lovely patch of pink rouge, put on
quite frankly in the Chinese fashion.
The rosebud mouths were touched up,
and the narrow brows beautifully pen
ciled.—Penang Gazette.
Hnmon of tee Dublin Gnltery.
The humor of the Dublin gallery has
long been proverbial. Macready, in his
“Reminiscences, ” relates that on ana
occasion when playing Otwuy’f "Venice
Preserved,” Jaffier’s long and rather
drowsy dying speech was interrupted
by one of the gallery, in a tone of great
impatience, calling oat very loudly,
"Ah, now die at onoet” to which an
other from the other side immediately
replied, "Be quiet, you blackguard,”
then turning with a patronizing tone to
the lingering Jaffier, "Take your
tim&”—Cornhill Magazine.

BUYING A BURNING VESSEL.
The Sucooaoftd Wy co lotion of • Foov I
There ta a certain minister in a New I
England town who, his friends are aocuo
tomed to declare, half jokingly, half seri
ously, has undoubtedly missed his voca
tion. They base this opinion not upon any
lack of the clergyman's ability in his pro- I
feasion, but upon unmistakable oommer- I
otalquahflcattona of his which would have I
Ata hire an unusually enterprising man I
of buslneas. Their favorite illustration In
support of the idea ta the story of a daring I
speculation which the minister conducted
raeoeesfully In hU college days.
In common with a large number of otb- I
er students in the small seacoast town
where the Institution was situated, young
B— — was desperately poor. The fasllitlM
there were not particularly good sorer.- I
abllng a man to work his way through
his college oours.-, and ho had tried in vain
to find anything at which he could earn I
enough to pay his expenses. At the time
when the following, incident occurred he I
had just S4O left of the sum with which
he had begun the year. He owed moot of
this and could ew r.o prospect of obtain
ing anymore. He hud lain awake for
some time one night wondering it, after I
all, he would be forced to leave college for
• year or two, and it seemed to him that
he had scarcely dropped asleep when be
was aroused by a confused noise outside
and by a brilliant glare illuminating the I
sky. Going to the window and looking I
off toward the sea, he was startled to dis
tinguish the outlines of a burning vneeel, I
which was slowly making her way toward
the shore. Dressing hastily, he rushed out
and soon reached the wharf, which was
already thronged with the townspeople
and students. The flames on the vessel
which was a small steam propeller, were
making only moderate headway, and it
was evident that she would get ashore be
fore the lives of her crew were threatened.
This was In fact accomplished, but by the
time the last man had been brought safely
to land the fire was raging furiously, and
the little steamer seemed doomed. Her
captain, who proved to be alm her owner, I
stood gazing at his property ruefully for I
a moment, then turned his back upon It
and started to walk away. Young B
stopped him, struck by a sudden Idea.
"Aren’t you going to try to save any
thing from your vessel?" he asked.
“No,” replied the disgusted captain,
with a shrug of his shoulders. "I’m I
through with her—for the present, any- -
way. If there's anything left tomorrow
morning, I may try to get It, but I guess
there won’t be. I’m going to look for a
lodging now. Good night.”
"Wifi you sell me that boat justasshe
lies for $40?” eagerly inquired B I
’naming the entire sum in his possession.
The captain stared at him in astonish
ment. “Yes, I’m hanged if I won’t,” he
replied, with a grim look of amusement.
"I’m sick of the whole business. ”
B lost no time In making his ar- 1
rangements. Calling a classmate who was
on the wharf, he whispered some direc
tions in his ear. Then, turning to the
captain, he said:
"If you will go with this young man, I
he will give you the S4O at once. I can't I
spare the time, because I’ve got to got I
right to work on the vessel. ” I
This was no sooner said than done.
With a few students and some of the men I
from the town, whom he promised to re- I
pay liberally as soon as he had disposed I |
of his new property, the young speculator I
went to work vigorously upon the burning
steamer. Their efforts toward putting the I
fire Out were even more snooeMrful than
they could have hoped for, and when morn- I
Ing dawned it was evident that a consid
erable amount of valuable property, in- I
eluding the machinery, had been saved.
To cut the story short, B '■ ■ sold the hull
and wreckage for SSOO, only a very small
percentage of Which had to be paid to the
men who bad assisted him. In speaking
of the incident since he has often said that
it gave him a keener pleasure than he re- I
members feeling after any other achieve- I
ment of his career.—New York Tribune.
Preparing Wearchllghta
The importance of the mirror in search- I
lights Is shown by the fact that there to I
not at the present time a sufficient num
ber of those articles to supply the demdnd
of the United States. These mirrors must J
be made with the utmost nicety, and the I
work is such that it is not easy to hurry
It. It requires at least a weak with prea- I
ent facilities to complete a mirror in the I
best style of the art. The glass, which I
must be of extreme fineness and purity, is I
molded Into the proper form. It is in
reality a concave lens with a backing of
silver and protection of the finest hard
ened vulcanite.
The operations of grinding and polish
ing must be conducted on the most scien
tific principles to produce perfect results.
There is neither gueenvork nor question I
about it. The preparing of the arc lights I
Is relatively easy when once the mirror ia
ready. The first searchlight mirrors were I
made in 1881 in England. Franoe and I
Germany took up the business later, and I
a majority of the best work Is done in
there two countries. It ia poaaible, how- I
ever, to turn out perfectly satisfactory I
mlrrora from our own stops. Our fortifi- I
cations are at present most imperfectly
equipped, very few of them having any
facilities for producing searchlights. In I
almost all of them a dynamo must be set I
up. This, however, to not difficult, the I
business having been reduced to such a
fine art that within three or four months I
every fortification in the country could be I
furnished with there very neowsary ad- 1
juncta—New York Ledger.
Clock Fare Without Figures.
When you look at your watch and it I
reads 20 minutes to 12 o’clock, do you no
tice the tour marks VIII and XII, or do I
Qonly glance at the position of tho I

If all tire arbitrary hour and minute
