Charity in pekin.

On the first day of the tenth moon
Doth of November) the winter
charities are opened in PekIn for the
dispensing of food. When the cold
season is further advanced the distri-
button of clothing is made and the
almshouses become filled. Two men,
bers of the staff of the Chinese Tin IS
recently made a tour of inspection
among the charities in the sOuth city
of Pekin. All the institutions visited
were supported by imperial bounty.
The first one reached was porridge
kitchen, little east of the great CEN
tral city gate Ch'ien Men. The
s'grainary rice" was already cooked
and waiting hot in the great wooden
tubs usually found in such places; but
although it was O'Clock none of the
poor people had arrived. The eXpla-
nation of this unusual lateness is that
at place half mile away they were
drawing the rations of good millet
porridge first. The granary rice is Of
bad quality, and the people much pre-
fer the millet. The second place
visited was one where sound millet
porridge was served, and there men,
women, and children to the number of
1900 were waiting in great rooms or
barracoOns the distribution of the food.
1t soon began. Two flies marched out
simultaneously, men on one side. wo-
men on the other, each person carrying
a vessel of some kind into which with
great expedition a dipper of hot
millet porridge was ladled. Most of
the recipients returned to their homes

quiet places in wood-yards and sunny
corners of the streets to finish up the
miilet while hot and tnen go to the
place where the rice already mentioned
was waiting for them. At the third
place visited the dispensing was al
ready over, ouly 500 applicants having
presented themselves to-day, most OF
them, as usual, being women and
children. There was one of the de-
partments or branches of large and
expensive charity under She title
Hundred Goodnesses." The func-
tionary in charge informed US that
| several thousand sometimes were fed.
A few steps farther on were the free
schools of this same charity, and still
| farther to the west at short distance
| the winters lodgings, known as THE
| Warm Quarters. This is appropriated
/ for women and children, fifty or sixty
of whom had already arrived. They
receive porridge of millet and granary
| rice twice day, on which they sub

/ Quarters" number eight in the south
city, and were opened about ten year:
ago in addition to the regular officia

the charity leaves little to be desired,
many thousands of poor people being
housed, fed, and clothed during th'
winter in perfectly efficient manner

The WALK OF WoMAN.-It cannot be
ont OF place here TO suggest the advisa-
bility of opening classes where children,
girls especially, might be taught the
science Of walking. Mothers should be
the natural teachers, bat many who are
rigidiy careful in all other particulars
seem absolutely Indifferent on this i'm
portant point. In fact, after showing
them navigation by means of their legs,
duty is believed to be at an end, and no
matter how wretchedly the child moves
the parent rests satifed with only spas.
modic attempts at correction. Whether
the ungraceful wabble, the hating step
and painful stoop SO commonly seen Is
attributable to carelessness or unnatural
dressing, certain it is that six out of
every ten women walk abominably. To
be upright and easy in ones movements
Is only as nature intended, and unless
deformed there is not the excuse for the
absurd loconotion noticed on the streets
every day. Why children are permitted

WHEN TO Stop ADVERTISING
When every man has become so
thoroughly a creature of habit lie
will certainly buy this year where
he bought last year.
When younger aud fresher aud
sprinkler concerns in your line
cease starting up and using the
newspapers in telling the people
how much better they can do for
them than you can.
When nobody else thinks it "pays
to advertise"
When population ceases to null
tiply, and the generation that
crowd on after you aud never heard
of you, stop coming.
When you had rather have your
own way and fail than take advce
aud win.
When yOu want to go out of
business with a stock on hand.
When you have convinced
everybody whose life will touch
yours that you have better goods
and lower prices than they "a
ever get outside of your store.
When you perceive it to be the

When you want to get rid Of the

VISIT TO ORANGE GROVE.

Editor Democrat-Star
Your correspondent had occasion
to visit and inspect the surround
ings of our eastern county village
of Orange Grove n few days ago,
and was so much pleased as to feel

account of a trip, but simply to as
sure your readers, who are not
posted, that there isn't a more
pleasant and agreeable community
in which to live iD South MissisSip.
pi.
When We arrived at the little
depot and intimated IL desire
to "take in the town" we
we're at once rendered a carriage
aud driver, as well as an invitation
to spend the night, by Mr.. Thomas
Gaillaird, all of which We accepted
with feelings of deep gratitude,
though we were soon impressed
with the belief that the kindly act
was characteristic of the good peo-
pie of the cOmmunIty-part and
parcel of their genuine hospitality.
We visited Messrs. Jackson, Beard,
Parker, Dancer aud Gaillaird, AL
of whom, with the exception of MI.
J.. II. Jackson, the station agent,
merchant and postmaster, have
their hOspitable homes nesting
amoug the piues in the immediate
vicinity, on small farms of truck
gardens and blooming orchards
that promise high living in the sea-
sou of harvest and fruitage. These
gentlemen we have mentioned, aud
others we know, among the best
citizens of jackson county, r the
" neighbOrs" of Orange Grove
neighbOrs in all the meaning of the
word, III sickness and in health, in
sentiment and in action.
Besides this, it is a progressive
community. Fine breeds of chick
ems, hogs, cattle, etc, (even to a
finer breed of gOats) are TO be seen
at almost every home, aud on some
places one will see almost all the
new and finest varieties of fruits
aud vegetables that have been III.
troduced on the Coast. We are
pleased to say they are succeeding,
with scarcely an exception, With
their experiments. We ga some
of the finest bearing pear trees and
young pear orchards We have ever
seen. The pecan is also being large
ly cultivated.
In conclusion, there is plenty of
room for more "nelshbors' at
Orange Grove. Unoccupied pro.
perty is very cheap. We return
sincere thanks for the hospitality
aud kindness enjoyed at the hands
OF the "neighborS" of Orange
Grove. r.
