How Cinnamon Obtain Their
I'D Spouses.

A Chinaman, when anxious to have
wife of his own nation, sends let
ter to an agent in Hong Kong. A re-
porter has one of these letters, but it is
practically impossible to translate it
into English. The following, however
is condensed translation :
II want wife. She must be maiden
under twenty years of age, and must
not have left her fathers house. She
must never have read book, and her
eye-Iasbes must be half an inch in
length. Her teeth must be as spark
ling as the pearls of Ceylon. Her
breath must be like unto the scents of
the magnificent odorous groves of Java
and her attire must be from the silken
weavers of Ka- Lii. Ching, which are on
the banks of the greatest river in the
world-the ever-fowing Yang-tse-
Kiang."
The price of a Chinese woman, de-
llvered in Sydney, is 938, but two
Chinese women only cost 952, there
fore the heather Chinese import the
women in couples. The importer
never sees his women before they ar
rive, and then he generally selects the
best looking one. The other is shown
around to number of well-to-do Chi
nese, and after they have inspected
her she is submitted to what may be
called public auction.
The writer happened to be present at
one of these sales. A young girl about
nineteen was offered, and after some
spirited bidding she was purchased
by a wealthy Chinese store-keeper,
whose place of bushes is in one of the
leading towns Of New South Wales.
for 912O. 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.

In My Enemy's House.
Story of Life in Russia; Translated from
the Russian for THE Times"

the Russian for The Times"
Travelling once near Moscow l
Glanced to meet n. Petrovitch, ali old
College chum. After some merry talk
over our scrapes and adventures OF
hrmer DAYS he entr Gated me to accom-
nanv him to the house of his friend,
BARON Staloff, at a place about ten
miles distant, adding, by way of per-
masion "Staloff is fine, open-heart-
ed generous, hospitable fellow, just
such man as you would like to meet;
he told me to bring with me as many
friends as possible. Come, we will
be there about week. / can promise
YOU a very agreeable visit"
Althou III stranger to the Baron,
IS | then thought, I yielded to my
friends request, and we took the
afternoon train, arriving at Staloff late
in the day. The Baroness received us
graciously, regretting that the Baron
was unavoidably absent until dinner.
Punctually at seven O'Clock my
friend and l entered the magnificent
dining room. There was just time for
hasty introduction to the host before
We took our seats; We were about
twenty at table. estHs6
"What is the matter with you,"
whispered Petrovitch, "you look SO
heightened have you seen a ghost""

am frightened. Your fine, generous
open-hearted Baron is my deadly enc
nv, than whom I would rather en-
counter thousand ghosts. l will tell
you all about it after dinner"
After an uncomfortable dinner l
succeeded in finding an opportunity
to speak to Petroviteh in private.
THAT man and 1 were once friends,
said l, "but the old story, we both adj
mired the same girl. That made the
first breach between us. He proposed
to settle the matter by the sword. l
easily disarmed him. She Tilted both

same thing happened. We fought
again. I wounded him severely, and
heswore fearful vengeance upon me.

become Baron Staloff p When l
knew him he was merely Gregorel
Altoff."
''His uncle left him this property
last year with his name. He wisely
took both.
IF had only known it! The man
hates me and sees me present nysel1
at his dinner table. How soon can
get away?"
Not tonight, i am sure. If you
fear any treachery come spend the
night in my room.a But, really, the
common rules of hospitality ="
"Oh, don't believe in hospitality

condition in which there is a proportion
Of one part of alcohol to 1876 parts Of
blood in the circulation. Should the
proportion ever come to be one part Of al
cnho' to 100 Of blood death would ensue.
This might happen, and in fact has hap
