Chinese ElOpements

Chinese eIopements are well managed.
None hut the lszy deserve the fair; there
ia neither ladder nor trellis to be scaled;
and the old gentleman Is easily persuad-
ed that whatever is, ia right. There was
Ho, the LATEST wight OF Hangehow, who
lived by odd Jobs, and never could get
regular employment One night, while
he was drinking tes ia q wayside inn,
he boosted that he would never do an
other days work unless he could fnd
rich employer with pretty daughters.
An old screw named Tsiang, p no over
heard the remark, was so enraged by 1t
that be engaged all the labOreTs who
were present except Ho, and refused TO
give him even 8 nights lodging. Poor
Ho went to sleep in Tsiang's backyard,
and very mournful was he. Suddenly
great bundle of clothes was thrown out
Of q window. Thinking there were
thieves in the house, aud not being IN
mood to protect the farmers household,
he put the bundle on his back ana
trudged down the road with 1t. Soon
he hegrd steps behind him. The infu'
rlated farmer? Not so. 1t was only
petty girl. She joined him and walked
by his side without saying word or
looking up at him. On they went
through the dark night, mile upon mile,
and Just as the day was breaking they
reached the village inn. Then abe looked
at him and shTieked. 1t was nos the
Young cousin who had woOed her to
pack up her clothes and meet him at
midnight. 1t was only poor, lazy Ho.
"Well, WE'LL" che sid, ''there is no help
for it. We must get married as soon as
possible" Married they were; the Old
Gentleman behaved nicely; dowry, three

Lananese Peculiarities.

10 a recent work on Japan, Professor
Griff1s notes the Japanese hsbit OF re.
versing everything, if we may regard
our own ways Of doing 50 the proper
ways, in an interesting paragraph:
Another man ia planning. Hepplls the
plane toward him. l notice black
smith at work. He pulls the bellows
with his feet, while he is holding and
hsmmering with both hands. He has
several irols in the fire, and keeps his
dinner pot boiling with the waste flame.
His whole family, like generations be-
fore him, seem to "sll get their living
in the hardware line" The cooper
holds his tue with his tees. All Of
them cit down while they WORK. How
strange! Perhaps that is an important
difference between al European and an
Asiatic. One sits down at his work, the
other stands up to it. Why is it that we
do things c0ntrariwjsa to the japanese?
Are we upside down or they? The Jap.
anese say we are reversed. They call
our penmRnship "crab writing" be-
cause, they say, sit goes backward" In
Japanese stable. we fiud the horses
flank where we look for his head. Jap
spese screws screw the other way.
Their locks thrust to the right, ours TO
the left. The baby toys of the Aryan
race squeak when squeezed; the Tura.
MAN gimcrscks emit noise when pulled
apart. A Caucasian, to iDjure his
enemy, kills him; a Japanese sills him
self to spite his foe. Which race Is left
! handed? Which has the negative,
which the positive OF truth? What is
truth? Whet is down? What is up?

Exneriments with Lunatics.

DR., PonZa, director Of the insane Ssy-
lum at Alsssandria, Piedmont, has made
some interesting experiments to ascer'
tain the effects of solar light on iunatics.
Several looms were specially prepared
for this purpose, the walls being painted
of the same color as the glass panes OF
the windows, these latter being quite
numerous, in order to favor the action
of the light. OIe OF the Patients thus
treated, affected with morbid taciturn'
ity, became gay and sffable after three
hours stay in red chamber; another,
q maniac, who had refused ali food,
asked for some breakfast after having
stayed twenty-four hours in the same
red chamber. In blue one, highly
excited mailman, with straight waist
coat on, was kept all day; an hour after
he appeared much calmer. A patient
was made to pass the night in violet
chamber; on the following day he
begged DR.. PoDza to send him home, be-
cause he felt himself cured, and he has
been we'll ever since. DR.. POnzs's con-
illusions from his experiments are that
the violet rays, Of all others, possess the
most intense electro-chemical power;
the red light is also very rich IN cslorlt1o
rave; blue light, on the contrary, is quite
devoid Of them, as well OF chemical and
electric ones. It's bereficent Influence
is hard to explain, but as it is the abso-
lutte neg alton OF all excitement, 1t sue
ceeds admirably in calming the excite
ment of furious maniacs.

Mortality of City and Country.

DR.. James Stark's Investigations and
statistics OF the relative mortality of
town and rural districts in Scotland are
published in the Edinburgh Medical
Journal. OF the striking facts brought
to light by DR.. Stark, the following ap
pear to be among the most Important:
That were all the town children Of Scot
land reared in the country, at least eight
thousand lives would be annually saved
to the population; second, could the
mortality Of the towns be brought down
to that of the mainland districts, up
ward of thirteen thousand lives would
be thus saved to the population, and
every individual living in the large
towns would, on an average, live ten
and q half years longer than he has any
chance of doing at present. Still further,
If from the rural districts were excluded
the towns with populations varying
from three thousand to ten thousand in.
hGbitants, the mean age at death would
have been about forty years instead OF
thirty-five, and could the mortality of
the towns lie brought Gown to that of
the purely rural districts of the mainland,
then the average life of the town popula-
ton would be increased about fifteen
wears.

History Of the White House.

Boston GloDe.I
The White House at Washington,
District OF Columbis, was commenced IN
October, 1892. The commissioners of
Wsshington-R sort of board Of public
works in those days-Ofered premium
for competitive plans, and the award
was given to James HOban. The build
ing is modelled after the palace of the
Duke OF Lsiuster. 1t Is one hundred
and seventy feet front by eighty-six
feet deep. 1t has the appearance OF
being built OF white marble, but the ma
teriai is freestone, painted white, with
Ionic o lrtico, compromising two sto-
ries. crowned with q balustrade. The
interior is planned more for display than
for health. It is curious to remember,
In this Centennial year, that in 1914 the
Britishers invaded the White House,
and very seriouely injured the magniti-
cent state dining. room by their crude
and barbarous practices. The invaders
hands which have had recourse to the
torch. did not hesitate to deface the
columns and panelings OF the Presiden-
tisI mansion with spur and bayonet.
The building was repaired under the su-
pervision OF the original architect, James
HOhan.
