TEN DOLLARS A YEAR.
The Income ON Which Chinese Son Must Main
tain His Father.


TFrom the London and China Telegrdph.1
An extraordinary instance of the peculiarities
of Chinese notions of justice, as embodied in
the law of the land, has occurred at the Mixed
Court at Shanghai. An old man, clothed in
rags was brought before Huang and Mr.. Giles
and charged with attempting to commit suicide
by drowning himself in the Soochow Creek.
The accused's son, a cleanly-looking youth, ap-
peared to give evidence against his father, and
was at once ordered by Huang to go down on
his knees before the Bench. Mr.. Giles remarked
that it appeared to be the Chinese custom, when
the son charged his father with any offense, to
make him go down on his knees like an accused
person, and he thought it best not to interfere.
The circumstances of the case were then ex-
planned to the Court. It was stated that the
son was an assistant in a BARRIERS shop earning
the munificent salary Of 900 cash month, in
addition to his food Out of this he helped to
support his father; but the old man was not
satisfied with what he got, as his son had
promised to let him have 10000 cash month
AN amount rather difficult for the boy to pay
out of monthly salary of 900 cash. The old
! man upbraided his son for walking about in
good clothes while his poor father was in rags,
and announced his intention of committing
suicide in consequence of his sons unfilial con-
duct.
The son, fearing that the old man would
carry out his intention. followed his father to
the edge of the Sooch0w Creek, when the father
seized hold of the boy and jumped into the
water, dragging his son with him. Luckily,
the water was shallow and the boy was strong,
so he managed to land both himself and his
progenitor safely on the bank. His Worship,
having heard the story, to the amazement oi
sll the foreigners in Court, ordered the boy
who had saved his fathers life to be rewarded
with 100 blows, Huang explaining to Mr.. Giles
| that it was principle in Chinese law when q
I l. e. 49,. k~x-
the son 100 blows. Chief Inspector Cameron
anxious to save the boy from his undeserved
punishment. explained that the police we're the
prosecutors in the case, and that it was only at
their instigation that the boy had given evi-
dence; and Huang then graeiously remitted
his sentence, at the same time handing over
| the would be suicide to the fostering care oi
| his son, who viii apparently have to maintain
his father out of his slender income of about
| $40 per annum.

that there are 218 wheelbarrow bets

Ny DEAR Son: Your letter oil
last week reached US yesterday, and
/ enclose el3, which is all l have by
me at the present time. l may sell
the other shote and make UP the
balance that you wanted. l will
probably have to wear the old buff
falo overcoat to meetings again this
winter, but that doesn't matter 80
long as you are getting an education.
| hope you will get your education
as cheap rs you can, for it cramps
your mother and me like Sam Hill
to put up the money. Mind you, I
don't complain. l knew education
came high, but l didn't know the
clothes cost SO like sixty.
l want you to be so you a 60
anywhere and spell the hardest
word. l want you to be able to go
among the Romans or the Modes
and Persians and talk to any Of
them in their own native tongue.
l never had any advantages when
| was a boy, but your mother and |
decided that we would sock you full
Of knowledge if your liver held out,
regardless OF expense. We calculate
to do it, only We want you to 60 as
slow on swallow-tail coats as posi-
BILE till we can sell our hay.
Now, regarding that Bodybuilding
suit, and that base ball suit, and
that bathing suit, and that roll rink
tum suit, and that lawn-tennis suit,
mind, | don't care about the expense,
becsssse you say q young man can't
really educate himself thoroughly
without them, but l wish you would
send home what you get through
with this fall and III wear Them
through the winter under my other
clothes. We have severer winters
here than we used to. or else Pm
failing in bodily health. Last win
ter l tried to go through without
underclothes, the way l did when l
was a boy, but q Manitoba wave
came down our way and picked me
out of a crowd with its eyes shet.
In your last letter you alluded to
getting injured in a little "hazing
scufile with a pelican from the rural
district" l don't want any harm to
come to you, my son, but if | went
from a rural district and another
young gosling from the rural district
undertook to haze me, / would meet
him when the sun goes down, and !
would swat him across the back with
a fence rail, and then l would me-
ander across the pit of his stomach
and put a blue forget-me-not under
his eye. 49,.
Your father amt much on Grecian
mythology and how to get the square
root of a barrel of pork, but he
wouldn't allow any educational in
stitutions tohaze him with impunity.
Perhaps you remember when you
tried to haze your father a little, just
to kill time, and how long it took
you to recover? Anybody that goes
right at it can have a good deal of
fun with your father, but those who
have sought to monkey with him,
just to break up the monotony Of
life, have most always succeeded in
finding what they sought.
i amt much OF a pensman, so you
will have to excuse this letter.
We are all quite well, except old
Fan, who has a CALLED shoulder, and
hope this. will find you enjoying the
same great blessing. Yours,
FATHER.
