Joining one of these societies is entirely
optional with the individual, and although
an applicant for membership may be- and
sometimes is blackballed for bad character
or for drunkenness his political or religious
opinions are never considered. In New
York and San Francisco for example,
there are large numbers of TD-Pings, sur
vivors of the rebellion crushed by Chinese
Gordon, all OF nearly all of whom are exiled
forever from China and many of whom
have prices set upon their heads. Nearly
all of these are members in good standing
of one or more of the societies, for it is not
unusual for an individual to belong to
several Of the organizations
Having Joined, the member can never
cease to be member, though he may as in
Free Masonry become disaffiliated. He is
then a passive member, but his oath of
secrecy is still in force. The initiation fees
and compulsory dues are SO small usually
as to be merely nominal, but members are
expected to contribute to the treasury &C
cording to their means, and nearly all do so
from time to time, so that, as a matter of
fact. a society of 500 members will ordi-
narily have an income of about $4,000
year. OF this $1,000, or about that sum,
will be expended for, the maintenance of
the society's hall and other current ex
penses; $1,000 will go for salaries, and the
rest will be used for benefits to the sick,
funerals for the dead and other similar
corporate expenses
The meeting room or hall of the society is
usually large room which, excepting
when the society is in executive session, is
used as a club room. 1t is oCen to the pub
lie In the sense that stranger are always
welcome if they come as visitors on legiti-
mate errands and at any reasonable hour.
Like Chinese assembly rooms 1t will always
be found like the rooms mentioned above,
to have religious look at one end. An
altar is always placed before picture of
joss, and the wall on either side of the pict-
ure will be adorned with numerous sym
bols of the kind that form such a conspicu-
GUS feature of Chinese worship.
At the other end of the room is fixed a
large blackboard on which in the shape of
bulletins are posted announcements of such
things as interest the society. A full list of
the members is kept on the wall and the
subscriptions of each are posted opposite
the names. Lists of sick members are also
kept posted, as are death notices, business
notices and official proclamations from the
Chinese empire.
The hall being combination OF church,
business room and club room, smoking and
drinking are allowed there, as is also the
playing of games Of chance for reasonable
stakes, dining and the enjoyment Of good
time ranarallv

DEATH TO ALL TRAITORS.
SECRET SOCIETIES AND BREACHES

The Famous six Chinese Organize
tions-Embezzleme Means Certain
Death-The Heather Highlander and
lis Mysterious Methods.
NEW YORK, Aug. lit is certain
that people are condemned to death, with
in the limits of the government of the
limited States, for offenses which do not
call for the death penalty under the laws Of
the United States" said Inspector New
come the other day.
People die who are not sentenced to
death under United States laws, but who
have offended against something which
our government does not recognize.
II is well worth while to find out why
-sbev die and what means are employed to
encompass their death. To this 1t is neces-
81 " to inquire into the home traditions Of
q class of people who come here, not to be-
come citizens Of the United States, but to
earn end learn what they can, and GO back.
The Cinnamon expects to return when he
embarks for the United States. He may
he generally does-change his mind after
he gets here, but he comes with the idea
that he will be Chinaman while he re-
Chiuaman when he returns
What does he do when he gets here /!
Tnere is one rule only in China. No coun-
try under the Buddhist rule is more en-
shaved to custom than the Chinese No rule
is more potent than that of trades and
classes. Every class and every trade EN-
bodies itself in an association which will
protect itself because it has the power un-
der Chinese law to do it. And because the
Chinese law legalizes the fact, our Chinese
population live up to the idea that trade,
class or society has absolute power over its
members. What are these societiess
There are two large societies in New
York and several small ones, their member
ship running from 500 far up into the thou
sands, and as general rule it will be found
that wherever a considerable number of
Cinnamon have settled as residents, one or
more such societies will be established.
They are all similar in character, and so
far as they may be described in general
way they are something between our
trades-unlons and our Masonic relief asso
Citations, with some resemblance to Euro
pean town in the middle ages.
The two large societies here are the
Lon-Gee-Tong, which has its headquarters
at No. 10 Fell street, and another whose
rooms are at 80 Chatham square. Ab uno

The assertion has an odd sound, but it is
probably true that not ten women out Of
hundred have the faintest conception of
what it would feel like to have a natural,
unfettered body. Within few weeks past
have asked twenty-eignt women at what
age the first put on corseus. Thirteen Of
them said they could not remember time
when they had not worn them The earli-
est recollections Of themselves and their
dress included corset waists and corset lac
ings One New York physician estimates
that city girls are corseted on an average
when years old. Another says that her
inquiries would lead her to put 1t at 9 years
Women grow up in corsets and harmonic
with their environments They put on cor
sets in the morning before they do shoes,
and would not think they could comb their
hair without stays. They live in corsets,
and would be thoroughly uncomfortable
without them. They haven't developed
muscles to get along without support. And
vet the corset might be made, at least, less
obtrusive. 1t used to be the proper thing
to wear an under bodice of shape and thick
ness to hide or disguise the outline Of the
engine Of whalebones and steels. Nowadays
nothing Of the sort seems to be though nee
essary. The corset is as prominent as If
paraded outside the gown. The fashion
plate marks its top and its bottom distinctly,
and as for the woman herself. look at the
next one you see OIL a horSecar and you can
sketch her corset very accurately on the
margin OF your newspaper.

THE DoINas OF WOMEN FOLK.
All Sorts Of Things Of Interest in the
World of Women.

W OTlu OF w OLIicn.
NEW YORK, Aug. u.--Here is a unique
kitchen worthy of description. 1t is not
large, having been built to fit very little
woman. The pantry is to the rear of it,
the dining room to the right, the hall In
front and ali out doors to the left, though
it stands on narrow city lot. The kitchen
projects beyond the hall, giving room for
door in front, and there is second door In
the rear leading to back porch aud garden.
The range chimney stands against the outer
wall and from door to door in summer the
breeze blew perpetually past it. There are
windows according TO circumstances, some
high, some low, some big, some little, some
in the upper panels Of the doors.
This temple of the household gods is I'm
ished entirely in wood for aesthetic reasons
quite as much as utilitarian. Wood finish
means that not an inch Of plaster appears.
Ceiling, walls and floor are all of delightfully."-
polished yellow pine. The castings Of doors
ing, and windows are fiat for ease of wasli-
and all the joints are tight as tight can
be. The was done slowly and carefully I'M

and while perfectly plain las BELTS kitchen,
makes a really beautiful apartment, the
veinings of the wood, the rich coloring and
the lingering forest ord / suggesting pleas
ant thoughts and typlfylng the home re
finement of the lady who joyfully gives
bread to her house rather than the druid
gerry of mental toll SO often put forward in
its place.
The laundry tubs and sink are of solid
white porcelain. But the wonderful econo-
mics of space and numerous step-saving de-
vices are the features OF the place. There
are slides from the pantry to the dining
room sideboard. There are shelves in the
triangular space over the cellar stairs.
There is table which pulls out of nowhere,
just opposite the range, and vanishes into
chin air when the cooking is done. There
flour bins which swing out into the room are
when wanted and push in flush with the
wall again. When the mistress of the estab-
lishment wishes to put anything dow n
cellar" she doesn't go down herself, though
the stairs are of gentle slope and easy OF
access. She touches a mysterious lever
with her hand or foot and up comes sec
ton of the kitchen floor bringing with 1T
series of shelves. Disposing the various ar
ticles thereon, she reverses the lever and
down goes the whole thing The floor is as
solid as ever and the shelves are hanging in
the dry cool air of the cellar. Fearful and
wonderful contrivances of this sort meet
one at every hand.
Costlya Not at all. Economy and con-
venience were the two prime considera-
tions The house was built by an artist who
planned first the kitchen-his wife's work

its owners cali it worth all that it cost of
ingenuity.

takes into account some of the difficulties
in the way. A business woman of New

Office hours, wears somewhat unconven-

the carrying of parasol, could unfold

and he extended bill, catching as he did
so, a full view of her face, aud exciaiming:
oh, beg your pardon, madam" He had
taken her for child. On another occasion,
calling at the house of Mrs Laura c. Hollo-
way, In Brooklyn, the same lady was met
at the door by Mrs. Holloway's invaluable
Chinese servant, who did not wait for her
to present a card. "Allee light. Walkee
in. You the new nurse girlG" was his salu-
ton. Mrs. Holloway's sister, who was visit
ing her, was expecting the arrival of young
nurse girl to wait on the children. Within two
or three years this dress reformer has been
asked by her butchers boy, who saw her in
the kitchen to go skating with him If her
mother would let her, and has had gentle
man to say to a third person in her presence
when an opology was offered for forgetting
the ceremony for presentation. Never

duction to her a month ago. or thereabouts,
and when she would have opened it, she was
checked by the rebuke: "This for Mrs. -;
won't you take it to herr You are her
daughter, suppose" The dress reformer
has not abandoned her comfortable gowns,
because in them she is in vigorous health
and does her work with ease, but she gains
war of mind that she never advises any
other woman, not possessed of unusual
courage, to follow her example. Her gown
is nearer the Jeunesse-Miller than the
Bloomer type, too.
