Confucius lived 500 years before Christ,
and his teachings and precepts from the
Chinese Bible held worldly advancement
Of little account and sought to attain
rather the moral than the material eleva-
ton of mankind. Even now few Chinese
will admit that the European standard
of morality is equal to their own. Chris
tianity they consider to bel good enough
religion in as far as, like Buddhism and
other native cults, it teaches men to do
good, but they al not see that in prac-
tice it has made much impression upon
the nations of Europe.
Their own country has seldom waged
an offensive war, while all Europe ap
pears to them an armed ercampment.
England prides herself upon her religion
and her big ships of war; France sends
her missionaries far into the interior,
and her torpedo boats cruise round the
coast and sink all the ~unoffending junks
that come in their way. This is, Of
course, the u~nfavorable side of European
character as it presents itself to the
ordinary Chinaman. Nineteenth Cen

The best elephants for circus purposes
are those from Ceylon. They have little
or no tusks. and are much more docile
and intelligent than the highland ele-
plant of India or even Africa. The In
dian highland or "tusker" elephant is
very intractable, and, after he arrives at
a certain age, is apt to be treacherous
and ugly. After they arrive at the age
Of 25," said Professor Newman, look
out for them. Albert, who was one OF
the finest we ever had, killed a man in
one of his fits Of rage, and had to be
slain himself. 1 regard the elephant as
the most intelligent animal there is.
They are remarkably easy to handle,
have great intelligence, and possess af-
f~ections and, I sometimes believe. sensi-
bilities. Even the dullest will astonish

The Democratic campaign book,
prepared under the auspices of the

now in the hands of the printer, and
will soon be ready for distribution.
The committee has not resorted TO
the Republican methods of levying
assessments upon officeholders for
their campaign expenses, nor has
any ofiiceholder in the United States
been requested 20 contribute cent.
Such contributions have in no case
been received. The book will con-
tain a spicy review of the past ad-
ministralion of the Government I'M
der Republican rule, and will discuss
number of subjects of contempora-
neous Importance. 1t will contain
all exhaustive history of former
abuses of the Pension Office and of
the prostitution to party ends of this
bureau, which was organized for the
dispensation of the peoples money
to the peoples soldiery.
1t will contain discussion of the
squandcring of the public domain by
the Republican party, and of the re-
cent movements inaugurated by
Democrats to restore it TO the origi.
nal owners, the people. 1t will dis
cuss the Civil Service as abused
heretofore and as administered by
President Cleveland. 1t will con.
tain valuable matter touching the az
ministration of the Land Office ant
the conduct of the Indian affairs. /
will be valuable in the discussion o
labor problems, containing chapter
on that subject and on the recent leg
islation affecting it. 1t will discuss
past delinquencies of responsible of
iicers and agents of the Government
and indicate the correction of abuse
in that line.
1t will contain summary of thu
action of the last Congress touching
matters of importance to the people
and make a fair exhibit ofthe result!

of the war OH the President by thu

frustrating Advice.

City folks who 60 into the country
to board on farm during part of
the heated term will save themselves
considerable trouble and some re-
morse by taking these brief and has
tily evolved hints in their face val
ne:
Don't expect the earth you can on.
ly have very small part of 1t for W
per week.
Don't expect view from your
window that takes in a green hillside
with browsing lambs, u lake with
waterfowl, groves and flowers, and
clear sunset every day during your
stay. These things come high, save
in advertisements for summer board
ers. Look out upon the patient farm
boy bugging the potato vines and be
content.
Don't ask the farmer why he puts
his little peaches near the bottom of
the basket and the big ones on top,
and similar foolish questions, and
thus display your total ignorance of
agricultural and horticultural pur-
suits, and win the farmers honest and
hearty contempt.
Don't 90 near the moving machine
when it is in motion. You may safe
" sit on the fence surrounding the
field in which 1t is singing its merry
song, but that will be near enough.
You might go behind moving ma
chine when it is in complete repOse,
but if it should start, you should
start also, and you should not stop
until you reach the fence.
Don't monkey with the straw-cut-
ter or try to climb over the barbed
wire fence just to show the congrega-
ton how smart you are. 1t requires
long practice to climb barbed-wire
fence, and not be sorry for it after
wards.
In busy times you may take off
your coat and go out with the hands
for half day, just TO give yourself
an appetite. That will please the
farmer, Notwithstanding your in
creased appetite; but don't get into
the habit of that sort Of thing.
Evince an interest in live stock,
but don't say you would like to learn
10 milk a COW. You might, in this
way, greatly please the farmer and
his wife; but the COW would proba-
bly, kick you in The stomach, or the
fence-corncr at the first motion, and
you would have to buy new milk
pail.
Praise the apple dumplings, say
the farm is the best kept, you ever
saw, kiss the baby, and pet the dog,
and thus make yourself solid with
the whole family at the very outset.
If you go walking in the woods
and see a large hornets nest hanging
from low limb, don't become infa-
tuated with it. If desire to pull it
and take il home to show it TO the
other boarders springs up in your
bosom, try to repress it. Hornets
are little particular, and do not like
to have their nests shown around
among curious city people while they
are using it, and if You pull their nest
while they are at home they will
show their disapprobation of your
course.-Scot Way.

The conglomeration Of Sexes At
Ocean Grove. How a Bevy Of
Country Girls Dressed For
The Bath.

Bathers at Ocean Grove and AS
bury Park are catching hard knocks
from the correspondents all around.
Says a writer in the Albany Jour
nal:
"There is conglomeratioa of
sexes in the water at Ocean Grove
that is feature Of the place. The
young men and the young women go
down to the sea together and march
into surf hand in hand, arm in arm.
1t is a rule with few exceptions.
They spend much time in the water
holding to one another; yes, and in
lolling on the sand for an hour or
two afterwards. If | was not con-
WINGED of the decorum and strict pro-
pricty of everything Methodist, /
would not hesitate to say that | think
ii the most lax and improper place
on the American coast. Where the
parents of the young people are, or
what they are thinking of, is more
than can imagine! "Pretty is that
pretty does" is a homely old saying
but good many of these girls prove
that the proverb won't stand upset
ting so as TO read "Pretty does that
pretty is" l heard of strange thing
the first day | was there. A bevy OF
raw country girls from somewhere
in the pine forests came on an excur-
sion. They wanted to battle but they
declared they would not appear in
the suits they saw all the other wo-
men wearing. They wanted it I'M
derstood that they would never dare
to look at their faces in glass again
| if they were ever seen in such modest
attire. So what in patience's name
do you suppose they did? They
went down to the beach to shanty
with whose inmates one of them was
acquainted and presently reappeared
clothed from head to feet in linen
wrappers. They thought it unneces-
sary to have anything under these
garments. In that garb they took
to the water. Fortunately for them
it happened that there were not more
than twenty men and boys at that
part of the beach, but the whole
twenty ran after them, laughing and
hooting at them when they emerged
from the water, with those paper-like
wrappers sticking to their bodies
\like, so many suits of adhesive plas-
ter. Some of them looked very much
like artists models, and some Chose
that wore calico with big pattern
printed on it) looked more like tat
looed sisters of that Greek who trav.
els with Barnum and whose body
resembles an animated section of a
trcscocd wall.
