REVERSING the telescope
ECONOMY IN CHINA.
Axe the Inhabitants of Other Worlds Tak
ing a Sly Peep at Cs?
Scientific people and those attracted by
the results of their labors and discoveries,
have doubtless been deeply interested in
the discussion of the proposition that has
couie from California looking to the con
struction of a forty inch telescope for the

Much as the telescope has already
bevond, it has

waste; everything is made to co as ; only intengified tlie eagerness of enthu-
nmch duty as possible. What is left
is the veriest trifle. The physical con
dition of the Chinese dog-or cat, who
lias to live on the leavings of the
family, shows this; they are clearly
kept on starvation allowances.
The Chinese are not extremely fas
tidious in regard to food; all is fish
that comes to their net. and most
things come there sooner or later. In
the north the horse, tlie mule, the
donkey are in universal use, and in
some districts the camel also docs
duty. It must be understood that the
practice is to cat ali ol these animals
us soon as they expire, whether the
cause of death be accident, old age, or
d.iseqse. This is done as a mutter ol
comm pnd.the fact that the animal
has died of fin epidemic l. ^nady does
not alter its ultimate destination. Cer

well recognized among tlie people;

siasts to extend its wonderful power and
lead them still further into the fascina
tions of those undiscovered countries. In
spite of all the study of centuries, our
knowledge of the heavenly bodies is as
yet only elementary and largely inferen
tial. The time may not be far distant
when we shall be able to confirm or re
ject on the basis of ocular proof many of
the theories now wholly or in part ac
cepted. Supposing, as many have dared
to suppose, that some of the other planets
are capable of supporting intelligent
forms of life, we have certainly not yet
advanced so far as to threaten the pri
vacy of the beings who are our planetary
neighbors.
But can we feel sure that we are
equally secure? In our abounding hu
man egotism we flatter ourselves that
we stand at tho head of ail physical and
moral life. We maintain, without any.
annoying contradiction, that we arc su
perior to all other material orders of being
with which we have ever compared our
selves. The growth of the telescope may
yet bring a severe shock to our self com
placency and upset all preconceived ideas
that the universe was made exclusive^

but the stalks and roots of the crops,
which make a rapid blaze and disap

similarly 7 professional manure col
lectors swarm over all the roads ox
the country. Chinese women carry 7
this minute economy into their dress;
nothing comes amiss to them; if it is
net used in one place it is in another
where it appears a thing of beauty 7 .
Foreign residents who give their cast
oli* clothes away to Chinese may be
assured that the career of usefulness cf
these garments is at last about to com
mence.
Chinese wheelbarrows squeas for
the want of a few drops of oil; but to
pe-mie who have no nerves the squeak
is cheaper than the oil. faimiatrly
dirt is cheaper than hot water, and so,
us a rule, the people do not wash; the
motto, “Cheaper than dirt," which the
soap dealer puts in his windows, conld
r •• >t be made intelligible to the Chinese.
To them the average foreigners are
mere soap wasters. Scarcely any tool
can be got ready made; it is so much
cheaper to buy the parts and put them
together for yourself, and as almost
everybody takes this view, ready made
tools are not to be got. Two rooms
are dimly lighted with a single lamp
deftly 7 placed in a hole in the dividing
wall." Chinese, in fact, seem to be
capable of doing almost anything by
nf .almost, nothin??. They will
life called man. Judging of the un
known simply by the limitations of tlie
known, it is not for us to say that one of
our ends is not- to furnish objects of spec
ulative wonder aild scientific research to
beings of richer endowments and more
wonderful development than ourselves.
Probably many of out ‘readers are fa
miliar with Fitz James O’Brien's story of
the mad microscopist, who, with a dia
mond lens of unequaled power, went on
an exploring expedition through drop
of water with marvelous results. There
were valleys and mountains and rich
fields, and resplendent perspective every
where. \ et all this was but the habitat.
He looked for’ forms of life, and his
search was rewarded by the appearance
of a sylph of radiant beauty, in human
shape. “It’s adorable beauty lifted it
illimitable heights beyond the loveliest
daughters of Adam.” He became fran
tically in love with the enchanting ani-
jnalcule. He wasted days and nights
studying her grace of form and action
and drinking in her beauty, until tho
drop of water evaporated, when she
shriveled and diet], leaving him stricken
with grief and despair.
How do we know but many a Brcb-
dignagian telescopist lias his animalcule,
and piercing through the rifts of the
dense cloud layers that envelop Ins re
mote sphere languishes over the exquisite,
but elusive, charms of some fair daughter
of Eve to the neglect of his own family,
the hurt of his standing in society and
his reputation for sound sense? Or, per
haps, seine entertaining specialist is re
cording our social and political habits for
the benefit of his fellows, a* Sir John
Lubbock describes those of the ants.
With the little peep that, we have into
the infinity of power that knowledge
brings, it is not safe to adopt the ostrich
theory—that we can be seen no further
than we can see.—Robert G. Fitch in
Boston Globe.
Granting Favors Because “He Is One of
tlsa Family”—In Hot Water.
No despotism equals the tyranny
coming of relationship. Thousands
endure it. yet scarcely think of it as a
tvranny, much less an injustice.
Thousands inflict it unconsciously and
think they are perfectly right in doing
so. , ,
The son, the nephew, the cousin, is
given a situation in the business,
whatever it may be, simply because he
is a relative. He does not. he dare
not push out in tlie world and seek a
place as a stranger and on his own
merits. He leans on the rolatiye. the
uncle, the cousin, who has force, en
ergy and enterprise, and lias thereby
built up a business, to give him a
situation. He may have no par
ticular liking or interest m the
business. It is only for him
a means for drawing a salary.
He expects in such situation more
favors than would be granted a
stranger, because he is “one of the
family.’’ He may not ask openly for
such favors, but ‘there are other and
quite as efficacious ways of asking and
begging for favors as by word of
mouth. . .
If the dependent relative m the sit
uation, through recklessness, has lost
or squandered money; if he has in
some way “put himself in a hole, he
has generally some soft hearted rela
tive in the family to go to and unload
his miserv on, who in turn unloads it
on somebody else, and on it progresses
until it reaches the head, and the head,
though vexed and out of patience,
feels he cannot cast off and treat the
dependent relative as he would an en
tire stranger, and the result is that the
pocketbook is reluctantly opened
again, since “something must be done
for the relative who is in the business,
because he is a relative.”
There are no end of losses great and
small, in business, coming of relatives
placed in positions for which they are
not adapted, and in which they expect
and often are granted indulgences not
given to one not of kin. \V ere they i
treated according to their wOVili
and meri t tnc y blight not be retained
[ a week, But they are relatives. As
relatives it is difficult to discharge
them. There is more than one string
to the bow of the dependent relative.
It would not be to the family credit
to have him seen a beggar on the
street. Or, if turned adrift because of
his incompetence he might do some
thing dreadful to hVmself. Relatives
of this sort are always threatening to
do something dreadful to themselves
when in the hot water wherein they so
frequently contrive to immerse them
selves. They sometimes feel also that
the family will see them through, and
when their spasms of despair and
ominous self threaten ings are the
strongest there is a certain under cur
rent of thought telling them that the
famiiv will stand anything rather than
face the notoriety of the dependent
relative’s dreadful act.
That person is indeed fortunate who,
through Lis or her innate force, en-
ero-y and variety of resources, is able
to & go among entire strangers and
prove his ability to do some one thing
well, possibly better than any one else,
and who, through his real value, is
placed above the necessity of asking
for place and favor on the ^ground of
relationship. — Prentice Mulford in
New York Star.
Ideas Which Seem to Be Indigenous to
All Countries—Examples.
Examples of ideas which seem to be
indigenous to all countries occur to the
mind in bewildering redundancy.
“One. swallow does not make a
spring" we find alike in English. Ger
man and Russian. In the sunny south
it takes the form, “One flower does not
make a garland.” In Italy we find
“He who grasps all, less gets,” in
France, “He who embraces too much
binds badly,” and in our own country,
“Grasp all, lose all." Our “Birds of a
feather flock together” is represented
by the Italian “Every like covers its
like;” the Greek, “A comrade loves a
comrade;” the French, “Qui se ras-
semble, s’assemble.” Plato declared
more than 2,000 years ago that “A be
ginning is half of all,” and he has
found an echo in our “What's begun
is half done.” and in tlie Italian^
“Who commences well is at the half
of the task.”
There is true Oriental ring about
such proverbs as “Among the sandal
trees are deadly serpents,” “Rivers
have lotuses, but also alligators.” It
is needless to suggest the western cor
relatives. “By a number of straws
twisted together elephants can be
bound,” is again only tlie Indian form
of the Scotch, “Many a little makes a
mickle.”
Tlie Greeks, wishing to cast doubts
upon a man’s probity, declared him to
be “A sheep with a fox’s tail,” which
answers to our “Wolf in sheep's cloth
ing,” and the French, “II fait is bon
apotrc.” Tlie familiar “Finis coronet
opus” has passed by literal translation
into French and Russian. “All's well
that ends well,” bear?! a strong like
ness to the German “Ende gut Alles
t ” There is a lengthy Oriental

Saxons. A conquered race, though they
claim descent from the ancient Romans,
they are nevertheless regarded with con
tempt by all their neighbors, and have
become habituated by centuries of op
pression and abuse to habits of cowardice,
subserviency and deceit. Yet they are
a race of singular vigor and fertility,
noted for their longevity and personal
beauty. Whereas the Saxon counten
ances look as if rudely carved from wood,
those of the Roumanians frequently re
call the faces to be found an old cameos

The forms assumed by their supersti

and gracious manners, and their family
feelings are so warm that each miserable

childless as il;o greatest of ufiuetiOiiS.
Their Saxon neighbors speak of them
with contempt as immoral, and there is
undoubtedly ground for the reproach,
but it should be remembered that the
Saxon maintains his superior morality at
the cost of frequent divorces and amid do

••The Laud Beyond the Forest.”
The Spanish Dull Fighter’s Peril.
Tlie bull fighter had been listening,
with some marks of impatience to Lie
flnal words of the impresario, anti as
soon as he had a eliance he explained;
“There 'is another thing, senors,
which lias often led our lads to mis
haps in the ring, and that is the wo
man. Mind you, when our bandcrii-
loros are about to risk their lives at
perhaps the most dangerous moment,
a single side glance at the tcudido, or
gallery, where their sweethearts are
sitting, has cost many a brave fellow
bis life. It is the same with our great
est toreros, and they seldom go at the
bull without having mentally, if not
publicly, offered him up to some
lovely face up there in the boxes or in
the galleries, and woe beside them if
they cast their eyes towards tlicir
queen of the ring to see if she really is
gazing at them when they pull away
tlie muleta and raise the hilt of their
blade so as to lower the point towards
tho place, behind tlie terrible horns,
where they must strike home .and
surely, ii they would see the animal
drop at their‘feet. Then, again, we
are often disturbed by the impatience
and often unfair cries and criticsms ol
the aficionados or amateurs, who thus
exasperate our hot blood, so that we
recklessly go at the bull, in order to
wring from them that roar of applause
and vivas that a genuine torero

number of cases causes ot klicc\ could

Tills la in harmony with the conclu
sion published by Dr. C. F. L ithmg-
ton, that morbid inheritance rather
than specific degenerative tendency
will account for all the infirmities met
with in the offspring of cousins. We
may therefore assume that “the great
danger in the intermarriage of cousins
lies in tho circumstance that when
there is a neurotic inheritance, there
are two certain morbid factors to con
tend with rather than a possible one.”
Ob the whole, “the balance of evi
dence would appear to be in favor of
the conclusion ~ that where a close
scrutiny fails to discover any heritable
weakness, neurotic or otherwise, con
sanguineous marriage per so is not
necessarily a thing to be prohibited.
