[Foreign Letter.]
A man in China endowed with much
forethought can make some provision
for his own future comfort. The priests
have considerately organized a bank for
the spirit world. To this the provident
may remit large sums during their life
time, and can draw on the bank as soon
as they reach the dark country. The
priests periodically announce their in
tention of remitting money on a certain
day, and invite all who have any to de
posit to bring it. All who feel doubt
ful of the generosity of their next heirs
accordingly tome and buy from the
priests as much as they can afford of
the tinfoil paper money which is cur
rent among tin; spirits. It is an excel
lent investment, as for a handfull of
brass cash, altogether worth about one
penny, they will receive sycee, i. e.,
tiie boat-shaped blocks of silvery look
ing tinfoil, bearing a spiritual value of
$ol).
Paper houses, furniture and clothes
may in like manner be purchased and
stored beforehand in the happy security
that neither moth nor rust shall corrupt
them, neither shall thieves break
through and steal. When the depositor
(probably a poor cooley or an .aged beg
gar) has invested his little savings in
this precious ruobish in the e.cL*siast-
ieal bazar he delivers it to the priest,
| together with a sum of real money as
i commission. For this the priest gives a i
j written receipt. All this din is thrown
I into a largo boat. It is a framework of
I reeds with a bamboo mast, and its sails
and planking are of paper. When all

Marcelv more risk. Do not send the
diiid back to school in less than six
weeks after the attack: about two weeks
after you are satisfied that he is entirely
well is a very good rule.
If the little life is nj)t strong enough

il.t not in your grief forget the danger
in other lives which the house and its
contents may yet cause. I o not allow
Minpathizing friends and playmates to

infected.

plan above indicated as nearly as you

Cien. Duller'* Mfcn at Ship Inland.
[Chicago Herald.)
“I’ve heard a good deal about minors
gathering round a stage coach to see a
utmian get off,” remarked an old sol
dier, “but 1 saw a little sceue of that
kind once during the war that beat ’em
all. It was at Ship island, near New
Orleans (Jen. Butler, you know, was
in command. There were n,000 or 10,-
00d men camped there. The soldiers'
tents were on both sides of a plank walk
laid down in the sand. That walk was
fully a mile and a half long. Well, sir,
there wasn’t a woman on the island, not
oven a colored woman. Most of ka
hadn't seen a woman for three months.
“One day it was rumored Gen. Butler's
niece, Blanche— Blanche— Whatsher-
lame.'—anyway she married the gov
ernor of Mississippi—was coming to visit
at the island, iou never saw such ex
citement among a lot of men. If wed
been told a Confederate cruiser was go
ing to sweep the place with shells before
daylight it woutdn t have caused so
much commotion. Sure enough, next
afternoon sho landed. Escorted by
some o.ncers she started up that plank
walk. The news of her corning traveled
faster thanshedid, though, b -ing passed
from mouth to inou.h a.ong the tents.
Well, if there wasn't a gittin* up and
dusting in that camp. Every man of us
able to move ftaried for the plamc walk.
The lame walked up, some crawled on
the sand, and the sick begged to be
carried.
“The young lady—and she was as
pretty ?s a picture-walked that mile
and a half let ween two row’s of gaping,
a Inuring men, each row twenty men
deep. The men were well behaved,
kept still, and most of them doffed their
hats But, do you know. I’ve always
thought we eu.oyed it I utter than she
did.”
Which arc perfectly pure and
fresh Remember that they
make a specialty of Seeds and
handle onh the best. It is
cheaper to buy fjood seeds at
first, lor then you will not be
disappointed or lose your time
and labor.

It was under ox-Governur Leland
Stanfords suggestions and directions
that the problem of instantaneous pho
tography as applied to the study of the
horse, was brought into use. lie eon
reived an idea that tue theories of horse
■undents regarding tho positions and
movements of horses in trotting and
running were erroneous. So he sent for
tho best photographer in San Francisco.
•'Mybridge,” he said, “can you take a
picture so quickly as to catch the posi
tion of a horse's feet whoa he is trot
ting^’ My bridge shook his head. “1’iu
afraid not,” lie answered. “Photogra
phy isn’t so far developed as that yet.”
“Then go down to my farm and develop
it,” said Stanford. “You shad have all
the money you want to experiment
mill, and 1 11 pay you well for your
time. I want to know how a horse trots
ind runs.”
• w o My bridge went down to the farm I
and experimented for months. The re
sult was a system of instantaneous
photographs that have not only startled
the scientific world, but they have I
turned over many of the most important 1
theories of horsemen, and showed that |
Stand ford's ideas were correct. The I
photographer arranged a couple of dozen
cameras in line, after he had the system
perfec ted, and, by means of threads
stretched across the track, which opened
I and closed them as the horse passed the
j point covered by them he succeeded in
getting photographs of the position of
| the horse at every stage of movement.
I Stanford was delighted, and Mybridge
was famous and wealthy at once.
