Chinese Costumes.

The principal feature of China
mans costume ia the fact that nothing
ever fits but his stockings. His clothing
consists, really, of three or four shirts,
each opening in front and having five
buttons, sacred number. These but
tons are mover in stra' ght row, but in
a sort Of se,ni.circle half around the
body. The cU,er garments have sleeves
a foot longer than the arm, a fact which
affords abundant opportunities for
theft.
A Chinamans jackets are his ther-
mometer. He will say, To-day is three
jackets cold, and if it increases at this
rate, tomorrow will be four or five
jackets cold"
Their shoes are well known, and their
caps are of three or four different forms
One they call the watermelon cap"
of the shape of half a watermelon, hav-
ing no frOHt-piccC, but, instead, knob
on the top by which it is handled The
second Is like Il round top felt hat with
the sides turned up, and others are of
various shapes. The color of the knob
OH the top of the hat is the sign of rank
among mandarins. The lowest wear a
gilt knob, then white stone, a clear
crystal, pale blue stone, deep blue
pale red and deep red in order of
rank. Yellow may only be worn by
the emperor's family, but as mark of
respect to age, men over sixty years by
special cdicts are allowed to wear yell
low, this always emitting them to great
consideration among all classes.
The dude pantaloon probably origin
ated among the Chinese. From the
dawn of history, on state occasions
officials and drcssy persons will wear u
sort of pantaloon, lifting as tightly as
possible to the Leg and each leg being
entirely separate from its fellow. These
trousers are of silk or satin, and the
legs are held in place by being fastened
to a waist-band or belt around the body.
On the approach of cold weather the
Chinese increase the number of their
garments, until sometimes they are like
minated bales of cotton, their arms
Oeing forced into nearly horizontal
position; nor do they take off their
masses of clothing until the return of
spring.

For Their Personal Comfort.

Paris is trying an experiment which
has long ago been found to answer in
Italy. On one of the boulevards a
new establishment has been opened for
the personal comfort of Parisians.
You can wash your hands, have
your clothes brushed, your boots cleaned.
You can write your letters. Paper,
pens, ink, etc., are at your disposal.
In one room are all the newspapers,
not merely of Paris and the Provinces,
but of all the great Continental capi-
tolls. A third room Is devoted to works
of reference, encyclopedias, dictionar-
les and directories. There is tele-
phone and post office, and all this is
open to any passer-by who pays half-a-
franc admission. The Italian idea did
not go quite so far, but in some respects
it was more useful. 1t was not pri-
vate speculation, but Government
concern. In fact, it was part of the
working of the postal system of the
country. You paid penny entrance
fee and found all the means of writing
and all the information you might need
to hand. You buy paper at cost price,
and have the use of writing materials
gratuitously. The French institution
is q speculation, and IL the building
opened on the Boulevard Montmar-
tire succeeds, no doubt we shall
see others established all over the
capitol.

HOW TO PUN5H CHILDREN.
Tho Way To DO what Il Generally Eettc
Left Unlone.


Left Unione.
AS young children behave in all re-
spects like young animals, and are
amendable only to the same instruction
as an animal, it seems certain that
ninety per cent. of all the corporal pun
ishment which child should have,
ought to be inflicted before it is three
years of age. AS soon as it begins to
understand yes and no it should be
made to obey. When colt or young
puppy nips the hand too hard, a Slight
blow stops the unpleasant part Of the
play, and the punishment is accepted as
aresult of their own action, so long as the
person does not show anger. When at
the table little fingers reach for the hot
cofree-pot, "No, no." conveys the idea.
The fingers go out again, regardless of
the warning, and then little blow will
settle the matter. Then the fingers will
come out again to test cause and effect.
The same punishment must follow with
out any word of reproof or warning.
These lessons repeated in various ways
will settle the question of authority at
very early age and the rod will soon
be laid aside.
In training horse 1t is very import
ant not to excite resentment. 1t is
equally important in training the child.
1t is therefore laid down as a good rule
tn n ha
offence be repeated. Let the blow fol-
low the wrong-doing, and let it be severe
in proportion to the iniquity, but it
must not be repeated. With the child
make one blow, quick and without
warning, answer the purpose. The sud-
denness and the accompanying surprise,
make the single stroke doubly cglectual
by avoiding repetition, the resentment
which comes from prolonged whip
ping is avoided. The actual pain in
flicted may be SO slight in some cases
as to be hardly worth attention
Later in life, a sudden punishment
of this kind may be made useful to
control persistent wrong-doing, to ar
rest willful infringement of another
child's rights and in many other cases
when there is no time for words. The
sudden surprise to n certain extent
conveys an idea of the enormity of the
offence; hence,all such measures should,
later in life, be reserved for grave of
fences and especial cases
For the stubborn, those lacking in
self esteem, the needless and the per-
sistent, especial notifications must be
made. But those in charge must con-
stantly bear in mind that the child
welfare is the object to be sought anG
must not allow self-csteem, convent
ence, anger or annoyance to interfere
with this one great law. Lastly, it is
we'll to remember that the right which
the parent has to control or command
child is given by love. II YOU do not
love your child, you have no more right
to give it n command than you have to
issue an order to your ncighbor. If
anger or vexation for the moment
stiles love, then your right to stand in
judgment is gone. Action must be
suspended until love returns as vim
dicator.

Whistlin- md Whisflcrs.

If boy is allowed to whistle it will
turn his attention in great degree
from the desire to become the possessor
of drum, and if paternal frmness be
added, he can be kept satisfied without
one until he gets to be sixteen years
old, when he will strike the cornet
period.
Shakespeare was well acquainted with
the art. He makes Othello say con-
cerning Desdemona: eff do not prove
her false, I'll whistle her off and let her
down the wind a prey to fortune, cen
though her very cries were my dead
heart-strings."
Negroes are the best whistlers in the
world. Frequently one hears colored
improvisatore whistling the quaintest
and sweetest melodies, and with the
colored males in general whistling
comes as natural as grunting does to a
hog.
Men whistle when they are happy,
and they whistle when they are sad.
When you see carpenter or a house
painter pushing plane or slapping on
the paint and whistling lively air at
the same time, set him down as a man
who pays his debts, is cheerful at home
and never whips his children
When man is sad he whistles in
doleful tone. Nine times out of ten he
won't choose dismal air, but he will
whistle a lively tune, hornpipe or
negro minstrel end song. And he will
draw the melody in and out between
his lips in way to draw tears from
all listeners. Sometimes a man accom-
plishes the same result when he is
cheerful and trying to whistle real
good.
Girls in general whistle in sort of
jerlky, disconnected, jim-jam sort of
way, and groan mildly between the
notes. They'd better let whistling alone.
