may be excused me.
Americans are fond of wonderful
stories. Nothing pleases them more
than to hear something revolving or
strange about other people. Nations
and races who resemble themselves are
not worth attention. Hence travellers
knowing fellows all of them-possi-
bly, find it profitable to startle them
false. Not that these accounts are al
ways wholly untrue, but that solitary
instances and occurrences are magni-
fled to represent habits and customs of
whole people. Belonging to this
class of accounts are those relative to
the use as food in China OF certain ami
mails. I find that Americans believe
that dog soup, cat fricassee, and rat a
la mode are dishes to be found daily on
every table in the Empire. The fact is
that there are some peculiar people in
China as elsewhere, credulous and SUI
perstitious; and some of these believe
that the flesh of those animals ! have
mentioned possesses medicinal proper
ties. For instance. some silly women
believe that the flesh OF rats restores
the hair. Some believe that dog-meat
and also cat-meat renews the blood, and
quacks often prescribe it. Then it is
also that there are very poor people
who have no money to buy proper food,
and therefore subsist upon what they
can get rather than starve. Butt have
lived fifteen years of my life in China,
and have had experience at public ban
quets, social dinners and ordinary
meals, and in company with all classes
of people; but I have never seen cat,
dog, or rat in any form whatever.
.'What, then, do the Chinese eat?"
Our gardens are prodigal of vegetables;
our ponds, rivers, and lakes swarm
with fish; our farm-yards are crowded
with pigs, land fowls, ducks, and geese;
our fields are gilded three times every
year with ripening rice. In some sec
tons Of the Empire wheat and barley
are prOduced; but rice is our usual SUBJ
stitute for bread. These articles make
up the everyday food of the people.
But there are certain things unknown
to your tables that are considered great
delicacies by everybody, one of which
l have told you about alrcady--cdible
birds nests. Another is sharks fins.
The Chinese keep very few COWS, and
it is true that beef is not esteemed as
good as pork, and that many will not
eat beef on account of religious scru-
Piles. Milk, butter, and cheese are al
most unknown articles of diet. The
Chinese think it is robbing the calves to
take the milk from the cows.-IVade

The Wonderful Histrionic Development
Of q Famous Child Actress

The New York public was surprised q
few years ago at the arrest, at the in
stigation of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children, of little
Corinne, the child actress. The little
girl, less than eight years old, was tax
en- from her parents and kept in con-
finement until released by order of the
Court and Mayor of the city. Mrs.
Jennie Kimball, the mother of Corinne,
who has been known To the public for
many years as vocalist and commedien-
ne, has devoted the greatest care to the
training and educatian of Corinne, and
the result is development of natural
faculties really phenomenal.
When did you discover Corinne's re-
markable talent?n was asked of Mrs.
Kimball.
Il can hardly remember the time
when her eyes would not sparkle at the
sound OF music; she began to sing be-
fore she could talk. Before she was
four years old she created sensation
and received the price of a gold chain
and locket studded with diamonds, ut
the National baby show in Boston.
Next she sang in q concert given by
Browns Brigade Band, and in 1879
made her debut rs Little ButtercuD in
the Juvenile Pinaforc Company. Since
then she has sung in opera and played
various roles nearly everywhere.
Mrs. Kimball is q lady of fine pres :
ence, and when playing at the Boston
Museum, was herself known as Little
Jennie Kimball.''
''What has become of the little lady?'
asked the reporter.
''She has given place to the person
you see before yon. Like so many 9TH
ers ! have grown somewhat tleshy. In
deed assumed such proportions that ]

times l would have the most suffocat-

or hoped to live. This seemed terrible.

also to the deyelo pment.of Corinne.'
And yet you appear perfectly

my weight over twenty pounds within
three months and I never felt better in
my life. If any who are troubled as /
was questions this, let them try War

they will, am sure, be speedily con-
vinced Of its truth. I believe it is the

fetal as has been to me.

Perfect. The child mas so much
life and vivacity she is overlooking

The only previous instance of such
remarkable prococity which history
chronicles is that of the famous Peg
Wellington, who first appeared in ..The
Beggar's OPERA y when but a little
older than Corinne..

Making a Bow.

In public, tho bow is the proper
mode of salutation, also under certain
circumstances in private; and, accord
ing to circumstances, it should be IA
miliar, cordial, respectful, or formal.
An inclination of the head or gesture
with the hand or cane suflices between
men, except when one would be es-
pecially deferential to age or position;
but in saluting a lady, the hat should
be removed A very common mode of
doing this in New York, at present,
particularly by the younger men, is to
jerk the hat off and sling it on as
hastily as possible. AS haste is incom-
patible with grace, and as there is an
old pantomi ic law that ''every picture
must be heidi for a longer or shorter
time, the jerk-and-sling manner of re-
moving the hat, in salutation, is not to
be commended. The empressement a
man puts into his salutations is gradu-
ated by circumstances, the most
deferential manner being to carry the
hat down the full length of the arm,
keeping it there until the person salut-
ed has passed. If man stops to
speak to a lady in the street he should
remain uncovered, unless the converse
ton should be protracted, which it is
sure not to be, if either of the party
knows and cares to observe the pro-
prieties.
A well-bred man, meeting lady in a
public place, though she is a near
relative -wife, mother, or sister and
though he may have parted from her
but half an hour before, will salute her
as deferentially as he would salute a
mere acquaintance. The passers-by
are ignorant Of the relationship, and to
them his deferential manner says: "She
is a lady. Ut Mentor, by Alfi ed AVres.

Group. "A Mothers Tribute.


"While in the country last winter my little
boy, three years old, was taken ill with Group;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu-
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
to our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said that the CHERRY PICTORIAL had
saved my darling's life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely yours,
Mrs. EMMA GEDNEY.'

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning Of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has

with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

Ways That Are Dark.

Since the close of the last National
Republican convention at Chicago,
the details of the proceedings there,
and for some months previous in the
States at the election of delegates,
shows that the men nominated only
secured the coveted honor at the ex-
pense of their honor and by means
that would have been characterized
in the early days Of the Republican
party as bargain and corruption. 1t
is stated on what seems to be good
authority, that the expenses of one of
the defeated candidates was over a
quarter million dollars, and of the
successful candidates over double
that amount.
IS It is not charged that the candi-
) dates furnished all the money, but
mat the office-holders and office ex-
Q sectaAts furnished the greater part of
l,it for them, expecting that if their
favorite chieftain succeeded they
would be repaid tenfold, and there
are many good reasons for believing
that the expectant adherents will be
amply rewarded if the choice of the
convention is ratified by the people
in November.
No better proof that their faith is
well founded is needed than the late
developments in all departments of
the Government recently. Il seems
to be the recognized policy of the
Republican party, that all who spend
money for its success shall be taken
care of at the expense of the Govern
ment, either through the emolument
of Office or the steahngs pertaining
thereto, that is either connived at by
those in authority, or permitted by
the ignorance or stupidity of those
placed in charge of the revenues OF
the Government. In one way or
another the claquers are always iber-
ally paid, and they are not particular
whether they come by thei. gains
honestly or dishonesty. The only
point they make is that they shall be
fully reimbursed by getting what
they ge for.
