A WrNDrtLL.-Abort Il ycar ago,
says Seattle paper, an old man
named Robert Martin, who had been
working at Milton, was taken with a
severe attack of paralysis. He was
brought to that city, and carried to
Providence hospital. He could read,
and eagerly pursued every book and
paper he could get hold of. One day
he CHANGED to get hold of New York
paper, and in purusing it his eye
caught upon an item concerning his
native town. Looking further he
found an account of a local opera per-
Torrance, in which Miss Martin
took an active part, and he thought
to himself that she might possibly be
Il relative of his; so he wrote, and a
few days ago he got letter stating
that he had long been considered dead,

been left, and that he was one of the

Ontario.
Now, as the discharge through
the river Detroit, after allowing for
the probable portion carried off by
evaporation, does mot appear by

Tide-Marks.

It was tide and the great, gray
rocks stood up bare and grim abova

sides, was black line that seemed
hardly 6ry,though it was far above
the water.
"What makes that black mark

replied. Every day when the tide
comes in, the water rises and rieea
until it reaches that liue, and in q
great many years it has worn away
the stone until the mark is cut into
the rock.
"Oh," thought I, "tha. is all is
it ?" Well, have seen a great many
people that carry tide-marks on
their faces. Right in front OF me
was a pretty little girl, with deli
cate features and pleasant blue eyes
but she had some queer little
marks on her forehead, and | Won
dered how they came to be there |,
un,il presently her mother said:
"Draw down the blind, now Car.

rie in a very peevish voice.
But her II other insisted ,and Ca-.
rie drew the blind, and turned her
face away from the window, Oh,
dear me what face it was! The
blue eyes were full of frowps ia
stead of smiles, the pleasant lips
were drawn up in an ugly pout, and
the queer marks on The forehead
had ceepened into wrinkles.

The Heathen Chinee at Home.

There are some facts in regard to
the result of six or seven thousand
years of Chinese civilization. just
think of it. There is not road in
all of the broad expense OF popnlous
China where even a wheelbarrow
could be driven or morse led ex-
cept around Shanghai, and here
the English have constructed them.
They have no cemeteries no tomb
stones mark and honor their last
resting places on earth. Those
who own private gardens bury their
dead and those of their friends
therein. Those who have no gar
dens or plots of ground lay the
bodies of the dead in rough boxes
on the surface of open fields. The
Chinese regard the souls of their
ancestry as links in the length of a
great chain which they say enables
them to reach up to the supreme
source of life and ruler of the
universe. This is the reason why
these remarkably keen, quick wit
ted people will not tolerate the
construction of railroad in their
country. They declare that the
locomotives and rat;ling trains
wonld certainly violate the sacred
charm influenced in their behalf by
causing the abrupt sacred flight of
their ancestry who are ever hover
ing around and over them. They
They have no banks in China, and
no coin of value except our silver
and that of Mexico. They have
no lawyers, but they have a perfect,
rigidly enforced system of law and
order. The principals alone can
plead their cases. The first social
rank in China only can be attained
by literary me,it. All Cinnamon
can read and write, because eIuca-
ton is compulsory. Every man in
China is free to complete for a
literary degree, and last year 107,-
900 candidates for this honor were
entered at Canton for examination
Those of this large number who
passed muster then are free agail
to the higher national grade COIN
petition at Pekin, annually helt
there, and when they pass this or
deal they become Mandarins ano
live in high estate al the public ex
pense. No military mar is permit
ted to aspire TO these literary homo
in China. This annual selection
from the whole Chinese people O
its rulers, who represents lis bes
thoughts and mental lrwer, ha
probably been the great and poten
factor of their remarkable .vitalit
and preservation AS a nation, but II
the same time it increases the wol,-
Ger that they should have stood still
on the avenue of hulnan progres
fer thousands Of years.
