Theatricala In China.

The Celestial empire has much the
resemblance to an immense fair, where,
amid perpetual hux and reiux OF buy
ers and sellers, of brokers, loungers and
thieves, you see in all quarters stages
and mountebanks, jokers and comedians,
laboring uninterruptedly to amuse the
public. Over the whole surface of the
country, in the burghs and villages, rich
and poor, mandarins and people-al,
without exception, are passionately fond
of dramatic representations. There are
theaters everywhere; the great towns
are full of them. There is ne little vii
lage but has it's theater, which is usually
opposite to the pagods, and sometimes
even forms part of it. In some cases
the permanent theaters are not found
sufficient, and then the Chinese con.
struct temporary ones, with wonderful
facility, out Of bamboo. The Chinese
theater is extremely simple, and its ar.
raneements exclude all idea OF scenic
illusion. The decorations are fixed, and
do not change as long as the piece lasts.
One W. uld never know what they were
intended for, if the actors did not take
care to inform the public, and correct
the motionless character OF the scenes
by verbal explanations. The only ar
rangement ever made with view to
scenic effect is the introduction Of q
trap-door in front OF the stage, for the
entrances and exits of supernatural per.
sonages, and goes by the name OF the
sGate of Demons"

Cats Customs.

Cats are not supposed to have the in
telligence of dogs, says an exchange,
and vet if we observe them we find that
they are capable OF great degree OF
reasoning. A cat belonging to US had a
kitten, which, when it had learned to
drink milk from the saucer with Its
mother, was given to neighbor. For
many days after the old cat never drank
more than q certain quantity OF the
milk given to her, leaving the rest for
the kitten, which she hourly expected
to return. After o time, finding the
kitten did not come, she resumed her
habit of drinking the whole of the milk
placed in the saucer. We were calling
at o cottage when an old cat came IN.
"Ahl" said the woman of the house,
"she has been to see what our neigh
boris cat has got for her. She is too
old to hunt for herself, so our neigh.
bor's cat will keep mouse or bird
for her, and she goes regularly every
morning to see what there is for
her," Another cat we have seen
who has been taught tricks in the same
manner as a dog, and if her master
places her on the table and says "Die, "
she will lie quite motionless, and not
move paw or her tail until he tells her
to get up, when she jumps up immedi-
ately and is as frisky as ever.

ARemarkable Funeral.

One of the most remarkable funerals
ever seen anywhere was that OF the stu
dent who was shot in Wurzburg, Bava-
ria, by an officer OF the city guard. He
was arrested while on lark, and, at
tempting to run from his captors, was
deliberately shot in the back at close
quarters. Great public commotion fol-
lowed, the general aversion Of the Ger
man people to the insolence OF the
military being stimulated by this act to
the highest pitch. A mass meeting was
called, at which petition and address
to the government were adopted, de-
nanding the severest punishment for
the "frivolous and brutal assassina-
tion." The funeral was attended by
nearly thousand students and by the
entire faculty of the university. The
body had been lying in state in the hos
pital during the day, and as darkness
set in it was borne forth with funeral
music, followed by the long procession
of students, bearing torches and flags
draped in mourning. It was carried
slowly through the main streets of the
city to the railway depot, where spe-
cial train was waiting to convey it to the
home of the young mans parents. The
return OF the procession WAS through
the streets along which the student had
taken his way on the fatal night: Op-
posite the main garrison, to which the
officer who had shot the student belong.
ed, the procession came to a halt and
formed hollow square, in the middle
of which the standard bearers with their
draped flags stationed themselves. Then
while the Pickering torches cast fantas.
tic shadows over the plaza, the "Gaude-
anus" was sung. With the last words
of this student song all hurled their
torches simultaneously to the ground,
and in darkness and silence the multi
tude dispersed. The report having
spread that the commander of the garri-
son TO which the guilty officer belonged
had expressed his approval Of the muir
der, he received challenges to duels
from half q dozen students.

The Laundries in New York.

TIE manager of one Of the larger
launiries of New York lately said that
there we're between five and six hun
dred important laundries in the city,
counting steam laundrles that do the
work Of large manufacturers of white
goods and of hotels and restaurants,
and the hand laundries doing house
hold work. The first steam laundries
were started in Boston, in 1853. Several
steara laundries in New York employ
from 1C0 to 150 hands. The Empire
launiry, doing the work of fifteen hotels
and restaurants, turns out 40. 600 pieces
a day, or more than 1000, COO O month,
washed, dried and finished. These
pieces include sheets, pillow cases,
white towels, silver towels, brown
towels, brown table cloths, white table
cloths, napkins, curtains, jackets, aprons,
count nterpanes, blankets, bed covers,
pillow covers, chair covers, table covers,
crunlb cloths and dolliee. In the per-
form snce of this work there are used
s4,O)O worth of soap, 81, 900 worth of
starch, $3.50 worth of bluing year,
and The pay roll amounts to $50, OO0
yearly.
Another laundry manager said that
the amount OF private washing done in
the public laundries has increased i'm
mensely since the establishment OF the
first large public laundry, the New York,
at Bergen, N. j., in 1866. The largest
are the st. Denis, California, Home,
Str,yesant and New York. The work
they do is mainly for persons living in
fats, boarders, bachelors, and transient
hotel guests. Notwithstanding the
great facilities offered by the public
laundries, most housekeepers prefer to
have their washing done at home. The
pubic laundries that do private wash
ing do not use steam or any machinery
except the simple "patent wriDger "
and housewives washboard," because
no machinery ever invented could DO
the necessary futing, putting, scallop-
inc. and doing up. The charges range
from. seventy-five cents to SO a dozen,
The laundry business requires very
little capital the work is simple and
the ;erms are invariably cash.. No class
of business men lose so little money
from bad debts as the laundry men, and
the .eason ia plain they always have
amrle security for their bills in the
clothing that they wash, and clothing is
| never returned until the bill is paid.
II is estimated that from one and o
half to five million dollars are invested
in lnundries in New York, giving en-
ployment to from ten to twenty thou
sanG persons.

Results OF Aerial Navigation.

Mr.. e. @. Stedman, the poet, writes
in Scribner of this subject, which he
confesses to be his "hobby." The paper
is in half humorous, half serious tone,
but discusses practically the causes of
failure heretofore and the desiderata OF
final success. Mr. Stedman speaks
thus buoyantly OF some of the ultimate
results of aerial navigation:
Not only by these processes OF con.
struction. but also by the power and
freedom gained through their success, a
delightful reflex influence will be e1.
erted upon the aesthetics of life. Poetry
and romance will have fresh material
and new locale, and imagination will
take flights unknown before. Land
scapes painted between earth and
heaven must involve novel principles OF
drawing, color, light and shade. Music,
like the songs OF Lohenerin, will be
showered from aerial galleys. In every
way the resources of social life will be
80 enlarged that at last it truly may be
said, "Existence is itself joy"
Sports and recreations will be
strangely multiplied. Rich and poor
alike will make of travel an everyday
delight, the former in their private
aeronons, the latter in large and multi
form structures, corresponding in use
to the e1cusion-boats of our rivers and
harbors, the " floating palaces" OF the
people, and far more numerous ano

rarest places, will be visited by all

Funerals in New Yerk.

els there as much eItravagance in
funerals as there used to be?1 inquired
New York reporter Of an undertaken.
"Oh, no i suppose few trades suffer
more severely from the hard times than
ours. Persons who used tol spare no
expense at the funerals Of their dead
now calculate every penny, and In all
cases, except, strange to say, the very
poor, the desire for display has given
place to strict economy. There are e1-
ceptions, of course, but they are few
and far between. In the past twenty
years an almost entire changeihas been
worked in one essential of funerals. I
mean the carriages. In old times it was
customary for families to send out
funeral invitations, and provide car
riages for those who came, but now the
practice is for friends of the family to
hire their own carriages. This custom
was in vogue among the Irish many
years ago, but now it is gaining ground
among the Germans and Americans. It
is no uncommon thing in Irish funerals
for four friends Of the dead persons to
hire carriage and attend the funeral,
and the Germans are rapidly adopting
the same economical habit. Since 1859
the falling off in the number OF carriages
has been gradual, but steady. Then a
hearse followed by one hundred car
riages was not regarded as rarity now
if half that number Of carriages were in
line persons would wonder who is dead.
The French and Italians generally Like
to provide carriages for those invited to
funerals, but the former are gradually
settling into the Irish. American custom.
"But, talking about poor persons
funerals" the undertaken resumed, after
having opened q case and gszed for q
while in silent ecstacy at q group OF
polished caskets, "you ought 10 60 to o
oolored persons burying. You have no
idea how providens and methodical the
better class OF colored folks are as to
their funerals. Why, in this neighbor-
hood alone they have established Q num-
Der of burial societies that are4weu sup
ported. The principle Of these institn.
tions is much like that of the building
associations SO popular in Philadelphia
and other cities. The members pay 30
much each per month until a certain
sum is reached. Should death overtake
them before that sum is paid, the society
buries them out of its surplus funds. I
know of colored women who belonged to
three or four of these societies at one
time. One that we buried last week
had burial fund of 5000, and every
cent of it was spent on her funeral by
the heirs. Poor things They in.
herited nothing. But in all colored
funerals, mostly, the family hires the
carriages, and friends are invited pretty
much as they would be to feast. The
undertaken is handed list of those who
are to ride to the cemetery, and seats
the persons accordingly. 80 thoroughly
is each detail arranged, that the load
for each carriage is designated, the pre-.
ference being given first to relatives and
then to friends"
