In California, the Chinese find abundans
occupation as farm laborers. But though
John has had splendid opportunities, lie
has never become farmer Oh his own ac-
count, or advanced further than q mere
deliver in earth with pick and shovel or as
strawberry picker, when droves of cheap
laborers with nimble fingers are required.
1t is true that in portions of the Oh, re.
claimed tule lands adjacent to the metropo-
lis, Chinaman have leased small patches at
high rates and made money by raising and
selling vegetables. In such cases he can
undersell his white competitor, and not
because of his superior SKILL but simply
because his wants, compared to those OF
the white mans, are simply nothing his
rice, his pork, his tea, lie obtains from his
masters, the company, who own him.
His apparel, nhnk, en- cotton blouse and
panta1oons, which by careful patching lie
makes last him decade, he has brought
with him across the sea. Shoes, except on
state occasions, he gets along without, or
If he wears them ut all, he has obtained
them from his brethren in San Francisco,
who have monopolzed the bus ness of
cheap shoe making in California. Houses
he has no use for, as in that glorious eli
mate he makes few yards of cheap drill
ing into tent, and in that lie dwells
throughout the year. He never buys lum-
ber, but if he can beg enough old boaris to
floor his tent he spreads the mat which was

as when working in gangs under white

lNTEILHGENUE OF ANIMALS.

A famous naturalist has decided that
animals have much more capacity to I'M
derstand human speech than is generally
supposed. Tile Hndoos invariably talk
to their elephants and it is amazing how
much the latter comprehends. The Arabs,
he says, govern their eamls with few
cries, and my associates in the African
desert were always amused whenever ad
dressed remark to the big dromedary who
was my property for two months; yet at
the end of that time the beast evidently
knew the meaning of a number of simple
sentences Some years ago, seeing the
hippopotamus in menagerie looking very
stolid and d jected, I spoke to him in
English, but lie did not even open his eyes.
Then went to the opposite corner of tia
cage, and said in Arabic, 81 know you;
come here to me-" He instantly turned
his head toward me; repeated the words,
and thcreupon lie came to the corner
where I was standing, pressed his huge,
ungainly head against the bars of the cage,
and looked in my face with touch of de-
light while stroked his muzzle. l have
two or three times found a lion who recog-
nized the same language, and the express
sion of his eyes, for an instant, seemed
positively human. All animals seem to
have the home instinct implanted in them,
and languish in captivity.

shooting. They pronounce it as barbar-
GUS as bull-fghting, They believe with
Shakespeare, that
"The little insect that we tread upon
In corpOreal suffersnce feels pang as great
AS when giant dies"
They want to see DR.. Carver over there
to show them what shooting is, and in
troduce his glass and feather balls as a
substitute for live birds. The brutal
sport of pigeon matches is becoming less
and less popular in England, although
still affected by aristocratic sports and
witnessed by fashionable ladies of the
fast type.
In this connection we observe that
"polo" involves the most outrageous
abuse of the ponies used in the game. A
lady writing to London Truth about the
sport says: 81 had dreadful experience
last week in witnessing a polo match at
Harlingham. The unfortunate ponies
were spurred hard the whole time their
riders rode them, and their sides were
raw and dripping with blood When we
discovered, on their coming near enough,
in what a condition the poor animals
were, we all rose and went away, feeling
perfectly sickened."
Let Mr. Bergh 60 down to Newport
and see how it is with Benefits Polo
Club. The custom of deriving sport
from the torture of animals and birds
ought to be wiped out

If the internal revenue returns can be
relied on as trustworthy statistics, a
reformation is being gradually worked
among the American people in the
matter of drinking whisky. The
same statistics that show a perceptible
decrease in the quantity of whisky con-
sumed, indicate an increase in the con-
sumption of beer. More than six mill
ion gallons of whisky were used in the
fiscal year of 1877 than in the last year,
while the sales of beer for the last year
exceeded those of the year previous by
four hundred and ffty-seven thousand
barrels, or one million three hundred and
seventy-one thousand gallons Even
these figures show decrease in the av-
erage quantity consumed, and as the in
toxieating power of beer is much feebler
in proportion to the quantity than that
of whisky, the statistics apparently show
up in favor of temperance.

If one must be sending people to prison
for insulting him at every step he takes,
there certainly can be little consolation
in being an Emperor. Since the at

hundred and sixtythree people have been
arrested in Berlin for insulting Emperor
William, nearly all of whom, including
thirty-one women, were convicted. Five
of the number anticipated their punish
ment and outfanked the officers of the
law by committing suicide before they
could be committed to prison. The aggre-
gate of all their sentences exceeded eight
hundred years, and it begins to look as if
one half of Germany will soon be engaged
in guarding the other half.
