Chinese Civilization.


Yesterday / lunched with some
ladies and gentlemen who had
passed some years in China. AT
ter having all of my early beliefs
destroyed in Pocahontas and other
traditions, Iought not to have been
startled when told that the Chinese
do not buy and sell rats and pup
pies for pies. l told the gentle
man that IN my earliest childhood
/ saw the picture in my geography
of a Chinaman with a long pigtail,
who had panier across his should
ers, from which were strung the
rats and puppies that he offered
for sale, They replied by saying
that my geography lied. Now,
what can we believe when dis
credit is thrown upon our very
school books? Moreover, 1 was
told that we were very babies in
civilization in comparison with
the Chinese. They had had it a
thousand years before we were
born. In China they think moth
ing of talking about things which
are a thousand or twelve hundred
years old. / was shown their pa
per money, which is not as artistic
as our greenbacks, but as highly
colOred as The inflationists would
make ours. l think that clothes
of it would adorn our so
called rag baby, particularly if the
penalty were the same in case of
the failure Of the banks they rep
resented. In China if q bank
fails, every one connected with the
bank has his head cut off l
The mob rush in and destroy
everything IN the bank, and the
building is torn down and the
ground accursed. No building is
ever allowed to De erected on the
spot. There is a proclamation
read to all the people who trusted
in its honor, and they are told
what punishment has3 been meted
out to them, and others are warned
from committing the same offense. !
If they are barbarians, then we
are worse than barbarians, for our
bankers not only do not forfeit
their lives but they generally fare
better than their victims. ] in
quired If there we're many failures
in China and was told that it was
q rare occurrence for o hank TO
fail, and that the eueer-lOoking

A Deeser on spirItuaIism.

OF all mental ailments none seem
to yield to treatment so reluctantly
as spiritualism. ] have watched
n any cases of genuine spiritualism,
but do no remember to have seen a
chronic case permanently cured
/ have seen typical cases pass
regularly through their successive
stages and terminate IN open in
sanity. and have peYer been able to
mitigate the symptoms or avert the
result. SpiIitualism is the most
incorporating complaint with
which the psychologist is called to
meet. No epidemic of modern
times can compare with it. 1t is a
delusion which has existed % years,
and attracted in the United States
alone, nearly three millions of peo-
pie. The last census informs US
that there are in the republic a.
900 insane, setting aside idiots
and it is believed that ont Of this
number 1900 eases may be traced
directly to spiritualism. The de
lusion does not appear to be de-
creasing, though fortunately It's
victims are now almost altogether
from the Vulgar and illiterate class

Any number of figures you may
wish to multiply by 5 will give the
same result as if divided by "a
much quicker operation but you
must remember to annex a cipher
to the answer, whenever there is
no remainder, and whenever there
is a remainder, whatever it may be,
annex 5 in the answer. Multiply
AGA by 5 and the answer will be
1920; dividing the same number by
2 and you will have 232, and there
is no remainder, add a cipher
Now take 257, and multiply by S;
there is 1856. Divide the same
number by 2, and you have 179

Don,f ScoId.

For the sake of your children
don't do it. 1t is great misfor-
tune to have children reared in the
presence and under the influence
of a scold. The effect of the ever
lasting complaining and fault find
ing of such persons is to make the
young who hear it unamiable, ma
licious, eallous hearted, and they
often learn to take pleasure in do
ing the very things for which they
receive such tongue -lashings. AS
they are always getting the blame
of wrong doing, whether they do
it or not, they think they might
as well do wrong as right. They
lose all ambition to strive for the
favorable opinion of the fault find
er, since they see they always
strive IN vain. Thus a sceld is not
only o nuisance, but a destroyer Of
the morals of children. If these
unloved, dreaded people could only
see themselves as others see them,
they would flee to the mountains
In very shame.

THE editor of the Stockton (Cal. J

sit is time this miserable statute
which annlhilates the individuality
of a woman who becomes a wife

She then walked the same day six
teen miles further, to Spring Creek,
was delivered of child when alone,
