Chinese BurialS.

IF the family be settled in any part
away from the neighborhoOd of their an
cestral burying place, it becomes neces-
sarv for them to seek out a lucky spot for
the burial of their deceased relative. In
many cases the coffin is kept for years in
the room where the ancestral tablets are
and sometimes it is temporarily laid in a
sort Of dead-house, hired or constructed
for the occasion, until it can be transport
ed to the original sepulcher of the family,
or until lucky spot can be discovered
The Chinese are very superstitiOus on this
point, and even in times Of epidemic will
often insist on retaining collins in their
houses, and, as far as we are aware, there
is no sanitary or other authority to inter
fere and protect the health of the com
munity. Many will doubtless say that
all danger on this score is sufficiently
obviated by the care with which most
coffins are prepared; but the evidence of
our senses, in a cholera season at Pekin,
has taught us that the contrary is fre-
quently the case Families at the very
bottom Of the social scale, for economy's
sake, often inter their deceased relations
within few days of their death, but this
practice is much looked down upon, and
is considered a proof of the parties being
sunk in the lowest depths Of perjury, as
well as wanting in due respect to the de
parted. Professors of the art of Fengshui
Literally wind and water), or geomancy,
are consulted on the subject Of lucky place
for sepulture In Central and Southern
China the SUBMITS and sloping sides of I'M
cultivated hills are the most tavOrite spots
especially if near water, and with south
aspect. COtfips are also buried in fields,
more particularly in the n Orth, and, if our
memory serves US, we have seen more than
one large cemetery filled with low graves,
and surrounded by dwarf mud fences, in
the flat country outside the walls of Pekin
Again, to the west of Chinkiang-Once a
t10urishing city on the bank of the river
Yangtsze, at the entrance to the southern
portion of the Grand Canal-we have
rambled over hills where graves are as
thick as they well can be; many o. these,
in shape very much like horseshoe, are
even now still we'll kept and carefully
tended by piOus relatives of the departed
although the town itself is sadly fallen
from the position it enjoyed before the
rebels held it and leveled its prosperous
suburbs with the ground Rich families
often spend large sums of money over
their burial places, adjoining them with
lite-slze figures of various animals in mar
bic, but the remains of friendless and poor
strangers are deposited in any waste and
vacant piece of ground, with merely a
slip OF wood to mark the spot All classes
III the country, however, do their very best
to nave as snowy place of sepulture for
thclr dead as they possibly can, and to OBJ
tain this end they are willing to make
great sacrifices.-AUM the Year Roand,

poIiteness. There is man in Berkshire,
England, who has park with walled
frontage of seven miles, and he tells OF
beautiful little operation which made
nice little addition to his fortune. He was
in Australia when the first discoveries OF
gold were made The miners brought IN
their nuggets, and took them to the local
banks The bankers were little nervous
about the business, uncertain about the
quality of the gold, and waited to see its
character established. This man had
| taste for natural sciences and knew some
| thing about metallurgy. He tried each
test, solid and fluid, satisfied himself OF
! the quality of the gold, and then, with all
| the money he had or could borrow, he
bought as much soll as might be,
and showed a profit of 100000
in the course of day or two. His "luck"
| was observation and knowledge, and
happy tact IN applying them. The late
Joseph Hume went out to India and
while he was still young man he accu-
mulated a considerable fortune He an
piled himself to the hard work of master
ing the native language, and turned the
knowledge to most profitable account. On
one occasion, when all the gunpowder
had failed the British army, he succeeded
III otIdpllS toStlLeI Il large dulouHt VI the
necessary material and manufacturing it
for the troops. When he returned to En-
gland he canvassed with SO much ability
and earnestness for seat in the East In
dia directorate that he might carry out
his scheme of reform, that, though he fail
ed to get the vote of certain large pro-
prietor of stock, he won his daughters
heart and made a prosperous marriage
And marriage is, after all, the Quickest
bit of luck" when it is all it should be.
There is, then, in truth, no ''luck" There
are turning points in life moments, crit
ical moments, that are worth more than
years; nevertheless great occasion is on
ly worth to man what his antecedents
have enabled him to make of it, and our
business in life is to prepare for these SUI
preme moments, these hours when life de-
ponds on the decisions of the instant.
Whatever of truth is yelled under the pop
ular idea of luck and chance is, rightly
considered, an incentive to the busiest in
dustry, not an excuse forfolded hands and
idle dreams.--Freder5ck Arnold
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1873-08-28

WHAT we call turning point is SIM
ply an occasion which sums up and
brings to result previous training Ac-
cidental circumstances are nothing except
to men who have been trained to take adj
vantage of them. Erskine made himself
famous when the chance came to him of
making a great forensic display; but I'M
less he had trained himself for the chance,
the chance would only have made him
ridiculous There is the story told of
some gentleman, who, on battlefield
happening to bow with much grace to
some officer who addressed him, cannon
ball lust went through his hair, and took
off the head of one behind him. The
officer, when he saw the marvellous escape,
Justly observed that no man ever lost by

The Advantage of Experience.

WHEN the train draws up at Stamford,
five minutes for refreshments, it is easy to
distinguish the experienced traveller from
the rest. lie has already got out on the
PLATFORM and is either on the bottom step,
or close enough to it. Just as soon as the
speed of the train becomes less than he
can make, he springs off, and dashes mad
ly for the saloon door, through it and up
to the counter, giving his order for coffee
while moving, and snatching up the right
article the first time He knows Just how
much time is required to make five
minutes and when it is expired he is out
on the platform picking his teeth, and
al king about real estate Alas, for the in
experienced traveller, such is not his re
cord. He is inside the car when it stops,
with twenty persons ahead OF him. He
jumps down on the platform in time to
see the mass surging into the door, and
then it suddenly strikes him that he may
be too late, and under this inspiration he
throws himself into the struggling gang.
He doesn't reach the table. He and the
other inexperienced travellers form the
outside line, and shout their orders
through the openings, and receive what is
handed them with thankfulness and what
dexterity they can muster. Such man
will perspire and choke, and paw, and
jaw during the entire five minutes, and in
that time may get down tWo-thlrdS OF a
sandwich, orfethird of a piece of cestard
pie, and more or less of the coffee, and
then get ont of the door just in time to
catch hold of the car rail, and be pulled
on by the brakeman. And when he has
reached his seat and is scraping the rest
of that pie from his boot, and drawing
cold air into his throat to allay the pain
of the scald, he will think up things
about the keeper of that restaurant that
would make the hair on a saw horse stand
straight on end-Danbury Neacs.

Some Hints about Screws.

WHERE screws are driven into soft
wood, and subjected to considerable strain,
they are very likely to work loose; and it
is often difficult to make them hold. In
such cases the use Of glue is profitable.
Prepare the glue thick; immerse stick
about half the size Of the screw, and put
it into the hole; then immerse the screw,
and drive it home as quickly as possible.
When there is an article of furniture to be
hastily repaired, and no glue is to be had
handily, insert the stick, fill the rest of
the cavity with pulverized resin, then heat
the screw sufficient to melt the resin as it
is driven in
Chairs, tables, lounges, etc, are contin-
ually getting out Of order in every house;
and the proper time to repair them is
when first noticed. If neglected, the mat
ter grows still worse, and finally results
in laying by the article of furniture as
worthless. Where screws are driven into
wood for temporary purposes, they can
be removed much easier by dipping them
in oil before inserting. When buying
screws, notice what you are buying, for
there are poor as well as good kinds. See
that the heads are sound and well cut;
that there are no flaws in the body or
thread part, and that they have gim-
let-points. A screw of good make will
drive into oak as easily as others into
pine, and will endure having twice the
force brought against it.-CdJ3net-maher.

position of Supreme Court Judge for the
Fifth Judicial District, put forward the
name Of Hon. A. NJ Craig, Of Galesburg.
He is known 70 be a man of ability, Of
strict integrity and of fine legal attain
ments. He was one Of the trainers Of the
present Constitution of our State, and was
instrumental in getting inserted the clause
referring to the regulation of railway com
panies under which the people are now
seeking relief. Ii is believed that ms
sympathies are entirely with the people IN
this contest, and that his decisions, II call
ed upon 10 make any, will lean as far to
ward their side as justice, sound law and
the Constitution will allow. Mr. Craig
has NOT vet signified his acceptance, though
n letter from him TO the voters of his dis
trict is daily expected. We wait with
great hope the appearance of this letter.
We may also add that if he places himself
squarely upon a platform based on the ad-
vaneed latter-day ideas regarding the
rights Of the people as against the unjust
control Of monopolies, he should receive
the vote Of every producer in biz district,
regardless Of previous party aihhation. II
he is in truth the farmers candidate, he
should be elected without fail. "
