Chinese Science

From ancient times the Chinese have taken
note of natural phenomena. Their record of
solar eclipses is perhaps the most ancient and
accurate in the world They have more or
less elaborate works on astronomy, mathemat-
les, botany, zoology, mineralogy, physiology,
and many other sciences. Yet there is scarce
ly any true science in them. Classification,
even in regard to plants and animals, there is
none. Mineralogy is mainly a description of
curious stones. Nor is there any progress,
for the more ancient works are generally the
best, and as a consequence the Chinese Of to-
day are as their fathers were thousands of
years ago. The superstiiions respecting nat
ural phenomena, which are as living, active
truths to-day for all classes in China, remind
us rather Of man IN his state of barbarism than
of the ancient culture and civilization of the
middle kingdom. The sun and moon are to
the Chinese as they we're to primitive man,
living things, gods TO be worshipped. The
stars in their courses powerfully influence. if
they do not absolutely control, all human
events. In them the wise may read as in
book the destiny Of man and the fate of en-
pires Their combinations make lucky and
unlucky days, and we shall do well TO note
carefully their signs and silent warnings.
Comets are the precursors of famine, pestience
and war-prognosticators Of the wreck of en-
pires and the fall of kings. Eclipses are the
periodic efforts of the dragon fiend TO DESTROY
the lights Of heaven, and every notice of an
approaching eclipse sent by the imperial as
tronomer to the provinces is accompanied by
a Government order TO employ The nsual
methods Of gong-beating, etc., in order TO res
cue the Threatened luminary. Again. thunder
is the roar of the anger of heaven, and 10 he
smitten by thunderbolt is to be marked as
thing accursed. Wind is born in the heart
Of great mountains, whence it issues at the
command OF the wind god. Most districts
have their wind mountains That, in Lung
Shan, IN the Northern province of Chilli. is
the most remarkable. 1t has cave at each
Of its four sides. The Spring wind issues
from the cave on the eastern side, the summer
wind from the southern side, and SO on for the
others. Wind eddies, or whirlwinds are
raised by the hedgehog in his rapid PASSAGE
from one place to another, the dust serving 10
screen him from the vulgar gaze. Rain il
produced by the dragon god, who carries nm
vast quantities Of water from the lakes and
rivers in his capacious jaws, and pours il down
in showers upon the earth. Every mountain
has its spirit or genius, every valley its pympb
and every spring its naiad Hence mountains
and rivers, old trees and curious rocks he
come objects Of worship.-Natatre.

watching her, with her souls hunger
speaking Oh fough her eyes.
By the time she reached the settle
meht and turned down the main street,
the scattered searchers had all fallen in,
and q crowd surrounded her and fol-
lowed at her heels. But something
was it the pure child that nestled in her
arms, or the new look that had been
born into her face2-created q subtle
barTies which protected her from any
rude approaches.
Under the bright glare of the lamps in
the sleeper the two women met-the
one VIII the blight of disease wasting
her body; the other with the pitiless
curse of a moral blight fastened upon
her soul.
"Poor grill You must be cold-you
are not half clothed. What can we do
for your It Is a priceless service you
have rendered"
Some tender cord had been touched
that night in the fallen woman's heart
vibrated sharply again. The softened
look became more marked upon her
face. As the two women gazed at each
other, a slow recognition dawned In the
mothers eyes.
"MaryI"
The voice was tender and forgiving,
as If with that word she would bridge
some terrible cha m that had widened
between the two sisters lives.
The of the town put ont her
hand with an imploring gesture, and
half turned away as if to free her eyes
from some phantom of the past.
"Don'tl lean not bear it." Uncon-
sconciously to the other, she too was
holding out the sceptre of mercy, re-
solved not to betray, by look or tone,
that her own ruin had been wrought by
one near and dear to the other.
She was the first to break the mourn
full silence that ensued.
"If / might only just kiss the baby's
lips. l swear l never so much as laid
my finger On her soft cheek all the
way"
With tears flowing down her face, the
mother held out the laughing baby.
The woman before her-scum of the
brothel, outcast of humanity-stooped
gently over the child anu left one kiss,
pregnant with remorse and regret and
loving tenderness, upon the velvety
lips, which met her own with a little
chirrup. Then she turned and left
the car. Unheeding the rough crowd,
she walked rapidly to her tent, put on
some dark garment, and speedily
emerged, hurrying along the southern
road in the direction of the Tres Her
manaS.
Whether she found her way to some
obscure mining camp, there to resume
her former wild career, or, purified .DJ
the baby's kiss, dedicated the remain
der of her life to good and kindly deeds
in some far away spot, the people OF De
ming never guessed.

The German Army.

The greatest numerical str ength Of the
German army in the late wal with
France never exceeded 100000 men,
but a writer in a recent number OF the
Fortnightly Review declares that in a
future war half a million more soldiers
could be sent into the field. He esti-
mates that Germany can almost imme'
lately mobilize an army of $4,000 Off
GERS, 1,45O, 100 men. 81 900 physicians
and officials, aid 100000 horses; for
which number all clothes, ornaments
outfits, carts, ETC., are provided in peace
time, and held in readiness in the differ
emit garrisons, To the modified army
would have to be added the surplus oil
drilled reserve and militiamen number
ing $50, 600 men; the depot reserves o.
the first class, numbering $4,000 men;
one contingent of recruits, one-year Vol
unteers, Volunteers under twenty years,
and ten contingents Of Landstrum;
which makes up a grand total OF 2,S3O,-
OOO trained men, commanded by officers
who have fought some OF the greatest
battles of the century, and have never
turned their backs upon the enemy.

and lung affections, etc. | now find it i'm

known symptoms" or in fact, any form
of disease, though subjecting myself to
what many would consider the most
suicidal practices in thematter of expos

the region of the lungs or stomach, ETC.,
warn me of having carried the pleasure
of the table a trifie beyond the needs OF
the or ganism.
L have, in my efforts to "catch" cold,
submitted myself to exposures that to
the minds of most people would appear
of a suicidal character, wearing low shoes
and walking in snow and slop until both
socks and shoes were saturated, sitting
an hour in that condition and going to
bed without warming my feet; removing
flannel undergarmenJs in mid-winter on
the approach of colder weather, and at
tending to outdoor affairs without the
overcoat habitually worn; sleeping with
a current of air blowing directly on my
head and shoulders; sitting entirely maxi
ed in g draught, on a very cold, damp
night in the fall, for fifteen minutes be-
fore getting into bed: wearing cotton
nightsh;rt and sleeping under light bed
covers on the night following the use of
flannel gown and heavyweight bed
clothes; rising from bed on a cold, rainy
morning, and sitting naked for an hour,
writing, and then putting on shirt and
trousers only, the shirt almost saturated
with rain and the trousers quite damp,
from hanging by the window-these and
similar experiments l have tried repeat

cold, and become warm again, that is all.

philadelphia Record.
The family of twenty-three Indian
.;.lo who have been living for some
60 mast at the Lincoln institution,
Eleventh street, below Spruce, was in
L-oosed to fifty or Thursday afternoon
~ tbe arrival of twenty-seven girls from
~ indian Training School at Carlisle,
D. from which place they were sent
10 order of the Interior Department Of
tbs United States government. The
cav who are now in Philadelphia will,
- the course of few weeks, be joined
Nv twenty-five more, which will COM
.iate The number to be taken care of
in this city.
The new arrivals are apparently per-
soctIv satisfied With their new quarters.
Tbey ranged in age from six to twenty,
nd we're all neatly dressed and wore
their iet-black hair in plaits. The fifty
scbolars are divided into two divisions,
each of which goes through a regular
Sontine of study and work daily. They
,ise at 6 o'clock, and after breakfast one
division goes to the school-rooms and
stndies from 9 o'clock until noon. the
other girls spending these hours in learn
ING to sew, cook, and attend to the gen.
eral homework OF the institution. =.
In the afternoon from l o'clock until
the second division attends school,
md the first is instructed in the useful
hrsnohes lust mentioned. Each day the
scboIars are taken out for an hours
walk. but as a general thing they do not
like this. as they are very sensitive
about the attention they attract. On
sundays they attend divine service at
Ehe church Of the Ascension. The hours
when they do not have to be in the
scbool-rooms or at work are spent in the
play-rooms of the institution.
Some of the girls are very clever at
making dolls, which they decorate with
beads, bits of metal and strips of bright
flannel, During the day they are
obliged to talk to each other in English.
But in the hour that i~nteIvenes between
supper and bedtime(8 p. m.) they are al
lowed to converse together in their
native languages. This, however, is i'm
possible in many cases, as they repre-
sent a number of tribes, and do not I'M
derstand one another's dialects. Prizes
are given at the end of each month to
those who have talked English only
during that period, and they make rap
Id Roadway in learning the language.
They are reported to be bright and
quick at their studies.
Among the tribes represented by the
fifty now at the institution are the
Pawnees, Sioux, Cheyennes, Conaches
Diggers, Osages, Omahas, and Della
wares.
A large number have Christian names
and civilized surnames, but some are
still known by their Indian surnamef
with a Christian names attached, the
effect of which combination is often
rather amusing, as in the following
cases: Bessie Big Soldier, Edna Eagle
Father. frankie Bear, Ella Man Chief
Maud Echo Hawk, Fannie Crow, Eunice
Bear Shield, Sarah High Hipe, Lizzie
Spider, and Olive Battle.
The majority of the girls will remain
in Philadelphia five years.
