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. —St. Peter’s.

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.

I 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.
