Red Tape In the British Army.

When a soldier in the British army
wants a new pair of shoes he ommu-
nicates the fact of his INDECENT cOndi-
ton to his sergeant. The sergeant in
vestigates and makes a written report
of the fact forwarding it, with the
soldiers application, to the lieutenant.
The lieutenant refers the matter back
to the sergeant with instructions to
ascertain how near the soldiers term
of service is out, that he may not 60

endorses the instructions to that effect.
and they are then forwarded by the
lieutenant to the captain. The captain
mdorses the application with the re-
commentator that it be granted and
forwards it to the adjutant. who refers
it to the major. The major refers it to
the surgeon with the necessary instruc-
lions, in obedience to which the surgeon
refers it back to the sergeant to ascer-
tain if the man is troubled with COINS.

She Could, But Wouldn't.

A Detroiter, who had been married
but three months. was the other day
tossing over the things in his wIfe's
sewing basket. when he came across q
little roll of newspaper articles about
Laura de Fair and Irene House.
"How did you come by theseY" he
asked, as his wife entered the room.
Those? Why. i took great pains TO
cut them out and preserve them" was
the reply.
but how can you take an interest in
reading Of such women, one of whom
shot a friend and the o.her a husband? ="
"Oh, merely Gu them out" was the
evasive reply.
There was a painful silence for two
or three minutes, when she crossed over
to him and tenderly said:
George, you needn't be afraid of me.
| know l could shoot you and then
secure a star lecture engagement. but /
love you too well, and. besides. / want
you to fasten my skates on this winter"

which came under his observation In

Up is very costly. the price for the

gold. Cookery is first taught 20 girls
Next the art of silk raising. Farmers
are most highly regarded. The En-
peror will sit down with a farmer and
not with a general. The generals who
kill the most are least thought OF.
We court and marry faster than you
do. You control these matters ard are
often disappointed; you make love and
marry; We marry and make love. Our
parents make the arrangements for us.
If my father dies his property goes to
my mother; she dying, it falls to me
and my wife. We all live together. At
ten years a boy is asked by his father
if he likes a certain girl; she is also
asked. II they agree, two match
makers are employed at a cost Of $50
They must be good takers, SO women are
employed. They inquire all about both
families. Relations are never allowed

the marriage We feast Our friends and
pray for the welfare Of the Sol who
is first married. No person can marry
again until three years have elapsed af-
ter the death of their former partner
There are low and wicked persons who
abuse their wives, in China; the same
is true here. The missionaries assOci-
ate with these. We love our wives, and
u wives love us as sincerely as any
people on earth.
In conclusion the speaker gave the
Confucian idea of salvation, which is as
broad and all embrace ng as the most
liberal could desire. The closing pOr-
ton of his lecture was very eloquent,
and he won great applause.
There have been a great many costly
Caucasians before audiences here this
winter, but not one of them was 80 in
teresting, and none of them more elO-
Quent than Wong Chin Foo. He is
witty, humorous, and highly entertain

to the audience.

SavaSe Life in the CITY.

Burroughs says, in his Touches OF
Nature" that he suspects that after all
it makes but little difference to which
school you 60. whether to the woods OF
to the city. A sincere man learns pretty
much the same thing in both places"
Certainly there is a great deal of savage
life in the city. 1t is notorious that the
higher animal traits, as well as the
baser. show themselves in men and
women. 1t is often said of persons that
they remind one of a fox. or a lion, or q
donkey, or a hen with n chicken. We
have heard a certain young mans con-
versational habit happily described by
comparison with a hare. AT first he
peeps out Of the brush, looks around,
gets scared, and run back. Then he
peeps forth again. and as quickly dis
appears. By and by he runs out and
frisks around with perfect confidence"
Boyesen SAYS that Tourguensf makes
You think Of q splendid horse. Emer-
sons side-face certainly reminds you Of
an eagle: and in public speaking his
sharp sentences come from hin in such
a way that one might say that he strikes
with his beak. Picture a countenance
which combines the ferretis sharpness
and persistency with the dignity and
charm of genus, and you will have in
your minds eve a face like Essipof'a

lied i'm the Streets

ats my Fannie! my poor, cold baby"
said Julia Deems to Officer Lamb.,of the
Oak Street Station, on Friday night,
The officer wa patroling his beat
through Frankfort street and was ap-
preaching Gold street, when he saw,
under the Pickering lamp, a woman sit
ting on the curbstone, rocking and
caressing a bundle which she held in
her hands. The remnant Of an old
straw bonnet covered her head and the
faded ribbons fluttered in the cold
wind, while her scanty and torn cloth
ing at times were blown aside exposing
her naked arms and neck. She shivered,
and her teeth chartered as the piercing
wind swept down the street, and then
she wept and muttured over again,
my poor, cold darling; my poor little
baby" The officer took the bundle from
| the unfortunate woman and unwrapped
| it, and then discovered that the child
| had frozen to death ON the breast of its
mother.
The unfortunate mother was taken TO
the police station, and there gave her
name IS Julia Deems, % years old. She
lived at IS Cherry street. The dead
child, size said, was but six months old.
She had a drunken husband who ILL
treated. half starved, and abused her.
Hunger had driven Mrs. Deems into
the streets to beg. Want of food dried
up the source Of nOurishment for her
child. Men and women had passed and
repassed and heard her appeals, not for
herself, but her child, but no one had
needed her su%pplication for charity.
While she Rugged her offspring to her
breast its sobs were quoted as it grew
chilled and cold. The sympathizing
officers vainly tried to comfort the
woman, but she sank to the floor when

Muscular Chritianity,

Tire two great men Of the Brooklyn
pulpit are splendid mel physically. and
they never could have been the powers
they are, had they been otherwise.
DEChapin and Robert COllyer, though
fine and strong in intellectual fiber, are
not SO exceptionally remarkable in that
particular as to account for their long,
|. strong hold upon the public mind. The
two Boston preachers who draw the
largest crowds, Mr.. Phillips Brooks ard
MI. Murray, are men Of entirely excep-
tional physique-hard to be matched
anywhere in the world, for size and
strength. 1t is an inspiration to look
at them. Their presence is magnetic
They exercise a charm which can only
come from complete manhOOd-the
equipoise of thought and intent with
voice and might. If we turn to our
own city. and see where the crowds are.
we shall find them ut DR.. Halls and
DIR. TaylOr's. Mr.. HepwOrth's church,
too, is usually a crowded. one. 1t is dis
honor to these men r0say that the peo-
pie do not flock to them because they
preach the best sermons 20 be heard in
New York. There are q dozen pulpits
furnished with as good brains as these.
The simple truth is, if ttey were called
upon to preach with a slel Nder physique
and a weak voice their cr,>wds would
leave them. They are larg, :, strong,
healthy men. America does not pro-
duce enough Of these, and so e are
obliged to import some of them. Che
brick Church has called a pastor fro.N
London, and he is one of the same kind
strong enough not only to do an i'm
mense amount of pastoral work, but to
preach without fatigue, perform the du-
ties of a profesSorship, take charge of
school matters in his own district and
carry through all the side work that
comes to a man in his position. The
church went for that man simply be-
cause they could not find him here. 1t
IS no dlshonor to our theological insti-
tutlons to go out OF the country for
such men, because America does not
raise enough of them for her own use.
When we produce them in sufficient
numbers. we will not need to import
them. And when We fully comprehend
that the body has quite as much to
do with the pulpit usefulness as the
heart and mind. and that one of the first
conditions Of that usefulness is high
physical vitality. we shall give physical
culture the attention that it demands
and ultimately raise our own preachers.
