There are others, such as the Quakers of bygone days, who regard every expres sion which may not be In strict accord ance with absolute truth ns a sin against their consciences. To such people the idea of subscribing themselves “Yours truly," or of beginning a letter to a casual acquaintance, “Dear So and So," is abhorrent But public opinion has been too strong for them, and we con tinue, and shall continue so long as so ciety holds together, to address one an other in terms of endearment and respect which are not required to correspond with our sentiments. Orientals have surpassed us in this re gard as much as the brilliant sunshine to which they are accustomed excels the murky atmosphere of Enrope. The de scriptions of ourselves and of our corre spondents pale liefore the glowing ex pressions of objective admiration and subjective self abasement which adorn eastern epistles. We are content to con fine onr wishes and compliments to the present life; but snch a limit is far too narrow for an Asiatic, who delights in wishing that his friend, may live for ever and ever, and that the ancestors of his enemies may be condemned to ever lasting disgrace. We are satisfied to speak of “I” and ••Yon,” but an oriental loves to heap ad jectives of contempt upon himself and of glorification upon his correspondents. ELEVATINO AND DKMEANINO SIMILES. In all cases he avoids the nse of the personal pronouns. By a system of cir cumlocution necessitated by this omis sion, he describes himself as “Your younger brother,” the character repre senting his expression being written smsll, and partly at the side of the col umns of words, and he designates him self and others conjointly as “Wo ants.” But the person he is addressing figures as “Your excellency,” “My benevolent elder brother," or “Your honor.” liter ally, “You who are at the steps of the council chamber.” His own house is “a mean dwelling,” or, as the parts of the character signify, "a stricken and broken dwelling;” but he is unable to think of his correspondent's habitation as any thing hut "an honorable,” literally “basket-of-pearls palace.” In the same spirit of self abasement he feels obliged to wind np his epistle with the phrase, “Yonr stupid younger brother, So-and- So, bows his head to the ground.” The character for “stupid” is drawn for us by two hieroglyphics, meaning “mon key hearted.” To bow to his friends is also pictorially expressed by a colloca tion of “a head" and “turf," suggesting the act of bowing the head to the earth. If his correspondent proposes to call npon him he hastens to assure him that “at the appointed honr, with bowing hands, he will await the time when his excellency shall abase himself by driving his chariot to his office.” His friend's letter is “the revelation of his hand,” and he takes pains to make him aware that holding it “with washed hands he hod chanted” its contents. On expressions of thanks particular emphasis is laid by the Chinese, and with true Oriental instinct, in their effort after hyperbole, they are accustomed to give a physical interpretation to their mental feelings. POWERFUL HYPERBOLE. For instance, a correspondent who wishes to say that he is profoundly grate ful, writes, “Your kindness is very deeply engraved and enveined in my heart” If he bears of the illness of a friend "he cannot help being bang up-in suspense,” and the symbol he nses shows to the eyes the heart of the writer tied np, whilo at the same time he urge* him “to take care of his person ns a pearl." And on the receipt of better news he breaks oat, “How shall I bear the joy and pleasure!” Having finished expressing the object of his letter, he winds np by “availing him self of tho opportunity to wish hiB corre spondent all the blessings of the season, and,” if he is on tho road to honor, “all the promotion be deserves." Bat, if not ferocious, a sufficient luti- tndo still remaius to a Chinaman for the development of much plain speaking. It is ns possible to “slit the thin span life” with a stiletto as with a broadsword, and In the most finished periods a Chinaman fisdr himself quite able to express either withering contempt or remorseless hate. But ho bus other ways also of giving vent to his ill humors. The very punc tilious rules of letter writing enable him to convey his dislike by omission ns well ns by commission. Chinese is, it may be explained, writ ten in vertical columns, beginning on tho top right hand corner of the page. In ordinary circumstances each column is completed to the bottom of the page; bnt long usage has established tho cus tom that, if the name or attributes of the person addressed occurs, the column is cut short, and the characters representing these snbjects of honor begin tho next colnmn at an elevation of the space of pne or two characters, as the case may be, above tho general level of the text. It will now be seen what a ready weapon lies to the hand of a Chinese letter writer. To write “Your Excellency” or tlie name of the corresRondent's country or sover eign in the body of the column is to in- Balt for Desirable Tenants. Theiu U at presentgreat rivalry among the owners of flats and tenements in the straggle to secure as tenants the thou sands of families which st this season each year seek new quartern. The rapid growth of the city’s population has been more than equaled by the number of flats and other dwellings erected during tho past few years, with the attendant result that dee-trallo tenant; ure at a premium. "The inducements offered to parties of the c lass drrired," said a prominent real estate agent recently, "are not directly of a pecuniary nature. In spite of the rivalry among house owners, there is a Licit understanding that there ia to be little or no redaction in rents. - The figures asked are reasonable, but great ingenuity 1ms lieen displayed iutheohar- acter of the inducements held out to se cure good tenants. Formerly two weeks' free rent was considered quite a conces sion, bnt now oneand even two months are thrown in to get a desirable party on u lease. Steam heat, electric bells, ele vators, telephones and awnings to the windows ure common at fair rentals in the better class of flats. "Among the novelties offered are flats where ail the coal and fuel needed are furnished free, thus doing away witli a common cause of quarrel with janitors suspected of using the tenant's fuel. In some tliu gas hills and ice hills are paid by the landlords, and stationary mirrors and iceboxes still farther reduce the tenant's expenses. A genius on the west side has filled his row of moil -rate priced flats by allowing each family the free use of a piano.”—New York Telegram. !**Hot 8kfa| Boils i Blotches i Gold Bores | Bad Breath | Bor* Heath whips | If yea ufrr from ear of tin aiastau* take DOCTOR ACKER’S ENGLISH BLOOD ELIXIR wHv?™mw™ Reading Abnnt Foreign CountrieA. At this time of year wo are overrun with applications for guide 1 sinks, works of travel, books of modern history of for eign countries, and even novels of wldeh the scene is laid abroad. Whatever they may say in Enrope about the Americans, they cannot trnthfnlly declare that wo do not prepare for a foreign lonr, for hardly any one now goes abroad without reading of tho countries lie intends to visit, sometimes as carefully as though he expected to pass a competitive exam ination. There are several persons in the city who go abroad every summer, and you can tell exactly where they are going by the books they ask for when they are getting ready for the tonr. The fact shows that Americans ure intelligent sightseers, and when they visit a foreign city know exactly what they are to see there, end often, by reason of the specinl cramming they nndergo, understand the history, antiquities and curiosities of the places they visit better than people who have lived there all their lives.—Inter view in St. Louis Globe-Deiuoerat. All Odd Plan for a Church. Rev. Thomas Dixon, well rememliered of Boston as a former pasfbr of the Dnd ley Street Baptist chnrch. is nothing if not unusnal. His audiences having ont grown his New York chnrch, he has planned an auditorium as unique as, him self. As his sermons have political pre ludes, his church is to have a wordly foundation. It will in fact not he a chnrch tint an office bnilding, with stores on the first floor, an anditorimn to seat five thousand, that is described ns lieing on “the next three floors," and offices on six floors above. * It would appeal- that Mr. Dixon would have to do some loud talking to accom modate hearers in “an auditorium” that consisted of the second, third and fourth stories of the bnilding, bnt probably this description of the edifice is not had at first hand from the architect. It is hardly Mr. Dixon's style to keep his audi ence in tiers.—Boston 'Commonwealth. Reynard as a Rat Exterminator. A Pennsburg gentleman, whose bam was formerly overrun with rats, is no longer troubled with- them, and he used neither traps nor dogs in driving them ont. About a year ago he purchased a fox somewhere in the west. The fox was given the freedom of the barn, and in a short time after its arrival all the rats fonnd it convenient to depart, and none of them has fonnd it expedient to return. Reynard catches rats after the manner of a terrier, and when not en gaged is frequently seen following his master sbont like a well behaved canine, to which he bears no little resemblance. He is perfectly tame, and goes about the streets of the town without being molest ed by the dogs that roam aronnd, ready to attack any animal not of their own species.—Allentown Chronicle-News. TIiom Ruapected Two Dollar Hills. The number of two dollar bill* in active circulation in New York is aston ishing. Since the publication of tho al leged extemdve counterfeiting of the two dollar silver certificates the entire issue, raminc and hogtvs seems to be kept on the move. The two dollar notes fairly rain upon every tradesman, who passes them on us qnickly ns possible. The next man does the same. Nobody refuses, nobody dis putes them; but all the same every body lets go of them at tho first opportunity. If tho same uneasiness prevails elsewhere tho problem of the two dollar notes will have solved itself. They will lx» worn out ia six mouths.—New York Herald. Health is Wealth! Dk. E. C.
