The Chinese d, Home.

The domestic and social life Of the
Chinese, has, perhaps, more features
i'll common with Western nations than
that of other Oriental people. AL
though pOligamy exists among the
weather. classes, aud their women
generally live in seclusion, family life
Is much esteemed and cultivated
among them. The first wife hiss the
full control of the household, while
the cOncubines are little more than
servants and hOusemaids. The CHI
nese illustrate the relation by cOmpar-
ing the wife ID the moon and the con-
cubInes to the stars, both OF which, in
their appropriate spheres. revOlve
arOnd the sun. The utmost respect
and obedience to the behests of their
parents are EN- Joined to children. The
betrOthme1t of the children is eLtire-
ly in the hands of the parents, and
the obligation of the former to fulfill
the contract made by the latter is EN-
forced 10y law, even to the annulliug of
III agreement made by son himself
in ignorance of the arrangements of
his parents. Cleanliness is not
AMONG the virtues of the Chinese,
either in regard to their habitation or
their persons. The pO Irest people do
| not change tEeir garments until they
are worn out. Their dress is neither
SD uniform nor so unchangIng as is
generally supposed. Fashions alter
there as well as elsewhere, but not so
rapidly a. among European natiOns.-
If it were not for the shaven crown
and braided tail of the men, and the
women, little fault could be found
with their costume, combining as it
does warmth and ease. The garments
of the sexes differ more by their cOlOrs
than 10y their shape and cut. The dl-
eft of the Chinese is sufficient in varie-
ty, wholesome, and well cooked,
though many of their dishes would
appear insipid to the taste of Euro
peaus and Americans. the proportion
of animal food is probably smaller
among them than among any other

This gentleman, who is quite as bSOfide
in his concentrations Of moral Means" as
some other pretenders, is thus spoken of By
the indianapolis sun:
This same charlatan was connected with
the Bank OF indiana as ore of its leading
sp rIts, aud was one of the many bankers
in Indiana who repudiated obligations to
the people Of this State in 1923 and 4.
1.-THE trick was performed in this wise /:
The bank charter required, in express terms
that issue should be redeemed in gold
These bankers took the gold with which
they mad expressly promised to redeem
their bills then in the hands of the people,
and sold it in the New York market for
S2.7O in greenbacks for each gold dollar,
and then took these greenbacks and re-
deemed their outstanding notes. After re-
deenling their own notes liz this mode, the Y
had a large surplus of greenbackk that
rightIully belonged to their note holders !;
but these sanity gentlemen we're not the in
diyiduals to pay them over. They took
this stolen surplus and bought Government
bonds at par, and then deposited them and
drew national bank currency and now these
pure patriots are swearing at these same
people and denouncing them as regulators
if they don't at once pay these greenbacks
and bonds In gold. A lovely set of vultures

obligations according to contract. If the
people could obtain a currency that 5ne dol

of it and then use that in paying of these

as they treated their note-holders. This
Hugh McCdlloch was one of the lea Iers and

that time. You know what estimate to put
upon the honesty of such gentlemen"

Health of Farmers.

The Massachusetts, Board of Health
is out with ITS fourth annual report in
which is to be found an interesting
paper on the longevity Of the farmers
life. 1t says the evidence collected
from country physicians throughout
the State for the last twenty-eight
years shows that the average length OF
the life Of farmer in that State is fiI-
ty-five and a-fourth years. This is
much longer than. that of any other
class of citizens. The cIass most near
ly approaching farmers, viz, outdoor
mechanics live only fifty-two and a
half years on an average.
The almost Unanimous beliefof those
physicians and the compiler of the pa.
per is, that farmers might live much
longer than they do by exercising
more care in choosing, cooking and
eating their food, m avoiding over
work and exposure to change Of
weather, and the use of foul drinking
water. Their food consists too much
of pork, pies, and saleratus bread and
cakes. The cookery is bad, and meals
are eaten too quickly for good diges-
ton, when work hurries. More vege-
tables and fruit should be eaten, aud
more rest taken. More cleanliness as
regards out houses, and more care 10
avoid leaving cesspools, sinks, etc,
nearer to well than thirty feet at
least.--RurdL Ne1O Yorker.

cause, being much handsOmer than
her sister, the willy Duke desired to
secure his Imperial nephew for his
eldest daughter before the former
should have been allowed to catch
sight of his youngest, as he felt very
sure that the hand of such beauty
as she promised to be would be sought
far and wide when it should be in the
matrimonial market: So the young
lady was told that she was to stay
with her governess; and not to pre-

cousin; Bot being lively, spilted

Courtship hi Greenland.

There is something exceedingly mel
anchOly in the accounts which are
given of the custom of cOurtship in
Greenland. Generally women enter
upon tie blessed state with more VIII
IIugness and less sOlicitude than men
fhe women of GeenlAnd are an excep-
ton t0 this rule. A Greenlander Eav-
ing fixed his affection upon some fe-
male, acquaints his parents with the
state of his heart. They apply to the
parents of the girl, and if the parents
are thus far agreed the next proceeding
is to appoint two female negotiators,
whose duty it is to brOach the subject
to the young lady. Tins is a matter
of great tact and deficacy
The lady EN- mbasSadnrs do not shock
the young lady To whom they are sent
by any sudden or abrupt awOwal of
the awful subject of this mission. In
stead of doing this, they launch out in
praises of the gentleman who seeks her
hand. They speak of the splendOr of
his house, the sumptuousness of his
furniture, of his courage and skill in
catching seals, and other accomplish
ments. The lady, pretending to be
affrOnted even at these remote hints
runs away, tearing the TIngletS OF her
hair as she retires, while the anIbassa-
dresses, having got the consent Of her
parents, pursue her, take her by force
to the house of her destined husband
and there leave her.
Compelled to remain there, she sits
for days with disleveled hair, silent
and detected, refusing every kind of
sustenance, Till at last, If kind entrea-
ties do not prevail, she is compelled by
force. and even by blows, to submit to
the detested union. In some eases
Greenland women faint at the propos-
ais of marriag-, in others they fly to
the mountains, and only return when
compelled tn do so by hunger and cold.
IL one cuts off her hair it is a sign she
il determined 20 resist TO the DEATH
The Greenland wife is the slave OF her
husband, doomed to a life of toll, druid
gerry and priyation.
