at table. Chinese etiquette requires
all to begin 10 eat at the same time, but
each one before lie begins to eat gem
orally says, Let us begin, which is nc
companied by q gesture with the chop
sticks. In finishing ones meal, the
same gesture Is ilsed; but not the same
words. He says then to those who
are still eating, Do not be in haste. ;
It is customary for the elder to
help the younger to those dishes
which he cannot reach, but in receiving
etiquette requires him or her to rise. In
sitting Mt Chinese table neither ones
body nor his dress must touch the table,
and great strictness in regard to ones
position 10 enforced. II is not accord
ing to Chinese etiquette to look around
when one Is eating, nor to stare at one
another. Remarks made on the food
and the smacking Of ones lips are (Im
sorry to say allowable in Chinese Ell
quette. The chopsticks, when one Is
not using them, must be placed on the
table close together, perpendicular to
the spoon. According to Chinese Ell
quette, it is rude for one to finish too
soon one must try to keep together
with the rest, though it is becoming for
interiors to finish little before their
superiors, but not little too late. Read
ing Of periodicals is strictly forbidden,
but letters are allowed ii they are very
important. One very seldom asks for
mn excuse from table in China, but every
one goes at the same time. "-Amhcrst

Pins, Past and Present.

10 the young lady whose intricate
overskirt is held in innumerable folds b,
many pins, it may seem hardship tba
her yearly allowance Of pins is oal,
about one hundred and forty. Such.
however, is the case with each individual
in the United States on an equitable
division Of the pins yearly sold in this
country. But the Indians in the West
are not supposed to use their full allow
ance, and collar buttons have so far done
away with the use Of pins by gentlemen.
generally that the young lady may per.
haps provide herself with some one elsc's
allowance. The pins made in the United
States are made by fourteen factories,
somewhat scattered as to locality, but
chiefly in New England. Their annual
production for several years past has
been about 1000, OOO,O pins. This
number has not varied much for some
years, the demand remaining about tLe
same. A few Of these 1000, 600, 900 srs
swallowed by children, number are
bent up in schools and placed in vacan,
and inviting chairs, and some millions
get into cracks of floors, and the rest for
the most part are scattered along thu
byways and highways where they have
dropped from dresses and been left to
work their way into the earth.
Two years ago the competition among
the nine principal companies then exis.
ing for the manufacture of toilet pins Leo
to such cutting Of prices that the bust
ness became Improbable and the mar
ket was flooded with goods. Dealers
who were shrewd laid in stock, and fami-
lies even bought in wholesale quantities
for future needs. A year ago O combina.
ton was formed Of three wire companies
and now oil Of the pins made by them
are shipped to New York, and handled
by the head agency in this city. From
their common warehouse they are sent
to every part of the country in quantities
varying according to the female popu-
lation.
The importations Of English pins are
small, and the expectation Of pins from
the United States is confined to Cuba,
South America and parts Of Canada,
where, however, but few pins are sent.
England supplies almost the whole world
outside of the United States, although il
is claimed that the American pins are
not inferior in quality. Quality. how

Baron Rothschild tells tho following
story as ho exhibits his porcelain scr
vice:
Ono day an old man, careworn, wrin-
kled, feeble, and apparently lettering on
the verge Of the grave, presented him.
belf befofs Baron James Rothschild, 40
Letting the honor Of an interview with
the famous banker. The old tpnn was 30
aged, SO poor, and had so detected an IA
pect that the Baron was immediately i'm
dressed with compassionate feeling, and
this became lively interest on learning
that he was Jew. The aged visitor
took from his bag 4 rich and beautiful
plate, 20 splendidly wrought that the
Baron admired il exceedingly.
''Sir," said the patriarch, twill you
bny this Of me2 have the whole set,
and nervice 30 beautiful must find its
fitting place In the mansion OF the prince
Of financiers.
ut is indeed very fine," said the
Bdrrn, How much do you wish for tho
service?"
Look you SIR" said The old man, II
am bowed down with many years, and
have not long to live. / am poor, and
wish TO end my days in comparative COM
fort. Will you in exchange for this val
liable set Of porcelain give me All income
for life Of 100 francs 600 = month"; 1t
Is not much for you, and am 90 old.
The Baron looked at the poor old man,
examined the plate again, and after q
few minutes reflection, said: well, be
1t 80; here is the first payment. Send
mo the service and give me your name
that may have it entered In my treas-
urer's book.
The splendid set Of porcelain was do.
livered the same day to the Baron, and a
month afterward, whileshe was seated
in his counting house, man entered
aud asked for the second payment Of the
proposed income. But the man was
young, scarcely thirty-four years Of age,
Of vigorous constitution and great
muscular development, and looked as il
he would live for 100 years.
But you are not the mani" exclaimed
the astonished banker.
Excuse me, Baron" said he; II an
indeed the man.
"But you appeared at least eighty
years old, said the Baron.
"But, sir, am only thirty" said the
man.
I'm fact" continued the Baron, Il
thought your venerable appearance did
not belle your assertion"
II have wonderfully recovered" OBJ
served the man, land thanks to your
generosity"
The Baron laughed heartily, and gave
orders for the payment Of the money
exclaiming, "Ah! you are an excellent
comedian, and have taken me in thor
oughly."

Growth I'm Wealth.

The United States must soon take rank
as the wealthiest nation in the world. It
falls behind only England and France in
its present valuation, and ITS average an
nual increase of wealth is greater than
that Of both these nations combined.
It is estimated at $3.50. OOO, 900. This
it an enormous gain. more than the en-
tire productive industry OF Spain, Or
Italy, or Russia. The resources Of our
country, both agricultural and mineral,
surpass those Of any other country; the
inventive genius of the people is greater,
and their industry is more constant and
universal.
The standing armies Of Europe i'm
poverish the nations. Their direct cost
is immense, but their indirect cost is
greater. For 200, 900 or 800, 900 Of the
best laborers are turned from producers
into consumers. Their labor ought to
produce m average value per man Of
$500 year. An army Of SOC. 600 men
occasions, therefore, loss in productive
industry Of $3.50, OOO, 900 per year.
The comparative net gain to the Unit
ed States, by tho absence Of standing
army, must be ct least 5000, 0O0, 900 per
year. Such saving enables us to out
strip ell other nations in the increase of
wealth.

Able To support Themselves.

The imperial family Of Germany is
quite able to support itself. If the Crown
Prince were deprived OF his inheritance
he could easily win bread and butter by
his skill rs turner; while his eldest son.
Prince Wilhelm, is an excellent amateur
artisan. On tho Emperor's cabinet are
several samples of his dead grandson
Waldemar's proficiency Is bookbinder.
This acquisition of trade is in accord
ance with the Evolutionary customs in
the royal family, which prescribe that
every Prince of tho blood shall learn
some useful handicraft, SO as to strength
en- his spirit Of independence and make
him wise through actual contact with
the material world.

IT is said that IN eminent Chinese
fnnctionary, after visiting the great
schools Of England, was invited to give
his opinion about the comparative merits
Of the British and Chinese systems of
education. This he did in the statement
that, while the English greatly excelled
in mental training and the variety Of
knowledge impaired, the superiority in
moral instruction certainly rested with
the Chinese. His statement reminds one
Of the speech Of certain Asiatic Prince
to jealous missionary: "You English
make the best iack-knives in the world,
but Asia has made all the religions worth
thinking about"
