A CHINESE DEATH BED,
From the San Francisco Bulletin,1


The Chinese have many customs pc.
cullar to their nation, which strike the
"outslde barbarian" as being unnatural
and strange, Their religious traditions
are so deep~rooted aud so strongly
iostered by superstition as to give little
encouragement to missionary laborers.
The superstitions are those pertaining
to the disposition of their dying aud
dead relatives, Very often the dead
bodies OF Chinese men and women are
found in untenanted buildings in the
Chinese quarter of the city, and those
unacqnainted with their superstitions
are prone To set the desertionS Of diving
friends down as an act of selfishness.
This, however, is not so, as the Chinese
believe that IL persons die in house
that they live in before death, heir
spirits will haunt the place ever after
wards, and give unpleasant evidence of
their presence toail whoremain. In order
to prevent the manifestation of the
restless spirit. as soon as the doctor
gives it as his opinion that patient eau

and left alone to die Yesterday case

When Clarence tossed the bride

and then her strength deserted her and

bending his hea |, he pressed kiss

"CIarcnce, where are you :" cried
the voice of Louise at this moment; and
in another instant the two girls rode up.
Why, Mabel, what is the matter?
Where is my brother = was the
startled inquiry of Louise, as with sud-
den alatm she sprang from her horse
aud hurried forward.
Soon the story was told, and with
pale, grief-stained faces the little party
proceeded homeward
1t was late that day ere the body OF
Clarence Lamont was recovered and
when he was laid in the tomb, none
wept more deeply than his gentle
cousin.

We learn from our foreign exchanges
that new signal light, possessing most
remarkable properties, has just been
brought out in England. It's peculiar
ities arc that it is elf-igniting when
placed in water or thrown on the sea.
Contact with water being the only
means of igniting the lanp, it is mex

Experiments were tried on the evening
Of the 24,h of April at 10 o'clock, in

men, to determine its brilliancy as a
signal A lamp was placed in bucket
of water on the top of Primrose Hill,
London. and the light was so intense
that, after the signal had been burning
tor twenty minutes, small newspaper
print could be distinctly read at a dis
tance of seventy feet, Notwithstanding
that the night was thick and soggy.
This light will burn for forty minutes.
In construction the lamp is exceedingly
simple, and so contrived that when
once burned che whole may be thrown
away. The chemical preparation con-
tanned in the lamp is a solid, hard sub
stance, free from danger, not affected
by heat, and so non explosive and the
signal is comparatively inexpensive, Its
applications for marine signals are nu>

the Remington seems to lie the most
popular, abroad a. we'll as at home.
The first European order for the Rem-

years ago from Denmark, to which
country 1900 were shipped Since
then Sweden has taken 10000, Cuba,

thousand stands of old muskets. 10000

abroad a considerable amount of ordi

reached the following enormous totals !:
800 900 carbines aud rifles, 10000
rcvolvers, 24,247 Remington arms of
various kinds, 300 Parrot guns, 36
Gattling batteries, and over 100000
900 cartridges. 1t is to be regretted
that commerce in war material is not at
an end for ever, but while there exists
market for such goods, which must
be supplied from some source, it is
gratifying to our national pride to
know that the skill of our inventors is
recognized and appreciated abroad, and
that American arms are considered
superior to the best of those made
elsewhere. The old world cannot teach

The speakers stood in the verandah of

handsome brunette, with dark, larguish.

Mabel was the handsomer of the two.
Perfect symmetry of form, combined
with regular, delicate features her
golden hair falling in ringlets over her
faultless shoulders-she presented q
.dicturc of loveliness but rarely met
with.
Both the girls were in riding habits
and iu one neatly gloved hand Louise
held riding whip, with which she i'm
patiently tapped the toe of the dain y
boot that peeped out from beneath her
skirt.
At one side, negligently leaning
against a pillar, bis dark eyes fixed
upon Mabers fair face, was the figure
of a young man, apparently about
twenty years Of age ln features Clar-
ence Lamot resembled his sister Louise;
but while one face was type of pure
womanly beauty, there was hardness
about the mouth Of the other that told
of far different nature.
"Ah, here they come at last - cried
Louise g But Annie is alone What

AS she spoke, a young lady, mounted
on pretty little pony, rode at a rapid
pace up to the house and before Clar-

sprung from her saddle and affections

ran down the steps.

Soon all were mounted and then.

rode off.
"Cousin Mabel, let us ride on and
reach the bridge first. Louise and Amy

Mabel acceeded, and soon Louise and

the road quickly hid them from their

Clarence said.
"Mabel, | have something to say to

Northern palaces. Montauban, Jerome DAVID,
and Others, who were TO create glory ont Oh
defeat-they sound like the names OF specters
now. Even Trochu, who by his Breton fac
ulty of holding his tongue held longer lease
of public confidence than others, broke up the
moment the siege was over into an absurd
and hystcric rage, which, if it had infected
Paris, would have destroyed her. We must
allow to NM. Theirs and Favre the credit OF
not having as yet lost their heads in difficult
circumstances. But, with these exceptions,
what leading Frenchmen have shown a rea-
sonable portion of that constancy that retrleyes
defeat and dignifes irremediable disasterf And
among those who have failed, none have more
signally disappointed rational expectations than
the eloquent advocate of Marseilles.
