How Cinnamon Bargain for Wives.

AAOW Nhih"hSAe D"A6 uAA ava '@'~s'
An Australian Chinaman, when anx-
ious to have wife of his own nation,
sends letter to an agent in Hong Kong.
The following is condensed translation
of the epistle:
~ want wife, She must DO q
maiden under twenty years Of age, and
must not have left her fathers house.
She must have never read q book, and
her eye-lashes must be half an inch in
length. Her teeth must be as sparkling
as the pearls Of Ceylon. Her breath
must be like unto the scents of the mag
nificent odor groves Of Java, and her
attire must be from the silken weavers
of the Ka Itching, which are on the
banks OF the greatest river in the world
the ever.fowing Yanktse. Kiang."
The price of Chinese woman deliy-
cred in Sidney is $3S, but two Chinese
women only cost $52; therefore, the
heather Chinese import women in
couples. The importer never sees his
women before they arrive, and then he
generally selects the best-looking one.
The other is shown around to number
of well-to-do Cinnamon, and, after the Y
have inspected her, she is submitted to
what may be called public auction. At
recent sale at Sydney q young girl
aged about nineteen was offered, and,
after some spirited bidding, she was
purchased by wealthy Chinese store.
keeper, whose place of business is in
one of the leading towns Of. New South
Wales, for 1920. The melancholy aspect
of the Celestial girl, as she went away
in company with the man who purchased
her, was deplorable to the last degree

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
Finally Found the Right Girl

"Whon I am big l will marry Kitty"
But Kitty slapped mo and ran away,
And, while wept for myself, In pity,
made up my mind would marry May
For May was gentle and May was tender,
Yet lightly sho put my offer by;
"Im engaged 10 Georgie Bender
Perhaps III take you # he should die"
By-and-by met Jennie Blatchell-
jennie was thirteen and was ton
fused to carry her books and sachol,
And made up my mind 10 marry Jcn.
But Jenny her reign was quickly over,
And Kate, my cousin, became my fate;
Isaid I'm propose, Ike brave, true lover,
As soon M ever graduate"
Al1sl when took out my clean diploma,
The darling girl was about 10 start
On hor wedding trip with young VIII Dc Roma,
And no ono knew Of my broken heart
At one-and-twcnty again love found me-
But the angel face and the meek bluoeyes
And the threads Of the golden hair that loved mo-
Went fading back into paradsol
Hark! into the house In, Kate and Harry,
with shout aud scamper from school have come
And a girl never had meant TO marry
II wife and mother within my home.

How Henry Clay Prepared His
Speeches.

When he deemed il necessary to make
on argumcntatiye speech, or what is
generally called set speech, he had his
books piled into carriage, and with his
servant went Just over tho Maryland line
TO the plantation of Hon. Charles ii.
Calvert, and there remained in privacy
until he was ready TO address the Senate.
Mr.. Calvert was one Of the wealthiest
men and leading agricnltursts in the
State Of Maryland. Mr.. Clay's room
was upon the ground floor upon the back
side Of the house, and opened upon n
large portico from which there was
magnificent scenery, as attractive n
place us retired statesman could desire,
and the freedom Of the plantation was
his, with all its numerous servants, com
ing and going, arriving and returning,
rs he pleased. Mr.. Clay's room there
gives notoriety to the establishment to
this day. Few strangers ut Washington
in the summer time fail to visit it. lthas
ever been the object Of the proprietors
TO keep the room as he left it, There
are his easy-chair, dressing-gowns and
slippers. But his set or argumentatiye
speeches were not what gave him char
acter. He was not like Mr.. Calhoun,
when he made an uninterrupted speech
in the Senate, nor like Webster in the
Supreme Courtroom. 1t was for his
forensic or disputative talents that he
was distinguished above all other men.
Although the Senate and the galleries
would always be filled when it was ali
nounced that Mr.. Clay was to speak, yet
it was always with the expectation and
hope that some one would interrupt him
md grand intellectual sparring exposi-
ton would take place. OF all men whom
] ever heard never knew one who could
endure so much interruption and discu9
30 many side issues and yet finish hiS
speech with the entire facts and tho en-
tire line of argument marked out in his
mind from the beginning, MS Mr.. Clay.
Could the enemies Of Mr.. Clay have
formed combination never to interrupt
him, nor be interrupted by him, they
would have deprived him of much of his
Senatorial glory. Tho best speeches OF
Calhoun, Webster and Benton were well
considered, and read now much rs when
delivered. Not so with Mr. Clay's best
speeches. They were unprecedented,
and as much surprise to himself MS to
his audience. Shorthand reporting had
not then reached its present condition.
Thus, Clay must suffer with posterity
incapable of hearing the varied intona-
tons of his ever-pleasing voice, or of
seeing his gesticulations, his rising upon
his toes, his stamp of the foot, his march
down the alsles until his long fingers
would almost touch the Presidents desk,
and his backward tread to his seat, oil
the while speaking; his shake of the
head, his dangling hair and his audience
in tho galleries rising and leaning over
as il to catch every syllable AS an i'm
promptu, cut-and-thrust debater, always
ready, never thrown from his guard,
where is your equal of Henry Clay?-
From Lecture bv John Wentworth.

HOW TO SPOIL A WIFE.

How will this do?
Snarl Mt her.
Make her clean house untidy by your
slovenly habits.
Find fault with her.
Boss her out of her shoes.
Always have the last word.
BE extra cross when she is harassed by
the work and worry of wash day.
Quarrel with her for trihes.
Never be on time to your meals.
Growl when she forgets through n
multiplicity Of duties to sew buttons on
your shirts.
Pay no attention TO providing for the
household and tell her nothing about its
expenses.
Spend the price of several new bon
nets for cigars, and then skip the bon
nets.
Tell her plainly you have married her
to do your work.
Raise row if she dares to bow
pleasantly to nm old-time gentleman
friend.
Find never ending fault if she happens
to want anything she sees the woman
next door having.
Grumble when she provides pickup
dinner.
Let it out sometimes when you are
good and mad that You wish you had
married some other girl you used to go
with.
If you have had hard days work in
the store or Office, go home and let out
your gall on this poor woman, who has
baked and ironed, and mended, and
tended children since sunrise. Don't try
to hold yourpeeyish disposition in check.
Growl aud fuss and fame and find fault
with the little parent woman whose rosy
checks You one time kissed, and sworc
by all that's good that you would love
and cherish her through life and death.

The Beggars' Opera.

DIR. Swift had been observing once to
Mr.. Gay what an odd, pretty sort of
thing Newgate pastoral might make.
Gay was inclined to try at such thing
for SEINE time, but afterwards thought it
would be better to write q comedy on
the same plan. This was what gave rise
to the "Beggars' Opera" He began on
it, and when first he mentioned it to
Swift, the Doctor did not quite like the
project. As he carried it on he showed
what he wrote to both of us; and we
now and then gave n correction or u
word or two of advice, but it was
wholly of his own writing. When it
was done, neither Of us thought it would
succeed. We showed it to Congreve,
who, after reading it over, said: at
would either take greatly, or be damned
confoundly." We were oil, at the first
sight of it, in great uncertainty Of the
event, till we were much encouraged by
overhearing the Duke Of Argyle, who sat
in the next box to us, say, at will do
it must dol ] see it in tho eyes Of
them |" This was good while before
the first act was over, and so gave us
ease soon; for the Duke had more par
ticular knack than any one living in dis
covering the taste of tho public. He
was quite right in this, as usual the
good nature Of the audience appeared
stronger and stronger every act, and
ended in O clamor OF applause. -Pope.
