Oriental ObserVances.

With all princes -Hindoo, Moham-
medan, or Buddhist-on the peninsula of
Hindoostan, superior is approached by
an inferior with presents There must,
in fact, be the earnest Of present, if it
be only lime or a flower From those
incOntestably of an inferior rank the re-
ceptiOn of the lime or flower is counted
as SUI cient condescension. and as a recog-
milton of the acquaintance With those
who by right wear a sword the sword in
its scabbard is presented to be touched by
the recipient Of the visit, and this grace
full address is the shorthand token of the
bearer of the sword having oHered his
services, even to devoJing his life.
After the lime there is an ascending
scale of presents, such as nosegays, trays
of fruit, sweetmeats, palanquin. a horse,
an elephant, or jewelry up to the value of
the koh moor. And in every instance the
recipient is understood to return present
to the donor of greater value than the
present received. 1t may be in kind, or
it may be in favors to be granted, but
there must be no mistake as to the worth.

Setting En- Up in China.
Interview with John Russell Young.

interview with John Russell Young.
One of the greatest drawbacks to a con-
tinued residence in China, according to
some Americans, is the fact that there are
no side doors to the bar rooms, a circum-
stance which renders Sunday very dull
day. This is accounted for by the fact
that there are no bar-rooms in the
kingdom Excise commissioners are
at a discount and white aproned
young men with diamond pins
and black mustaches are un-
known. On almost every corner, how
ever there is tea house, :" where
ConVivial Cinnamon sit on tea boxes, talk
politics and help themselves to any loose
groceries that may be lying about
Instead of two friends greeting each
other with, Come and have one with
me, ole man, the dignifed Cinnamon
walk sedately into the tea house and ask
for Two teas-have them hot Then
they throw dice or match pennies to see
who will pay for them. but each man
settles for his own tea in the regulation

rDem1rest : Monthlv.l


Great hopes were entertained a few
years ago that the inclosing of green fod
der in "silos, so as to keep feed fresh
during the winter months, would revolu-
tionize the whole business of caring for
stock Ensiiage promised to make the
feeding of cattle in cold regions as mex
pensiye as in climates where there is no
winter IN other words, it was to do for
cattle feed what the canning of pro
visions, vegetables and fruit did for the
food of man.
The method employed was to pack the
fodder very closely, so that the air would
not get to it, but it was found that the
feed soured and injured the milk,
butter and cheese made from the COWS
that were fed on it. Mr.. George Frye has
just written book showing how ensilage
can be made and kept sweet and
fresh. nder his system it is not packed
close, and the fermentation is permitted
to go on. The mass is heated up to 100
degrees. which kills the bacteria, and then
the fodder is as good and wholesome as if
Fed fresh in summer time. This is mat
ter of the greatest moment to all regions
of the earth where the winter seasons are
long and severe, for with sweet ensilage
cattle can be bred and kept in northern
regions as cheaply as on the plains of
Texas. This will reyolutioniZe stock
raising and largely increase the value of
northern agricultural lands

Norm on Recruits.

New York Cor. Detroit Free Press.l
Recruiting for Mormondom seems to
go on quite as successfully in some parts
of Europe as it ever did Every month
or two fresh batch of recruits is landed in
New York and started OFF for [ tab by
the first train. The latest batch mum
bering about 300, in charge of a bakers
dozen of elders, was landed a few days ago
They were picked up in England, Ger
many and the Scandinavian country, and
in appearance they were at least up to the
rather dull and the women rather plain,
but that might be said of nearly all steer
age passeng gers when they land.
Almost the whole Of the Mormon re-
cruiting is done in northern Europe.
France, Italy and Spain don't take to the
polygamous idea at all, and the mission
aries found out long since that it did not
pay to spend either time or money in
those countries. Some recruiting is done
in New I ork and the region around, but
1t does not amount to much,

Did Columbus Discover America?
rPaU Mall Gazette

A short time ago we referred to the
violent dispute going on in Central Amer
lea as TO the last resting-plaCe of Column
bus, San Domingo and Cuba being the
claimants for this honor. A solemn con
clave of the Representatives of various
governments recently met in San Domingo
to settle the matter; but now another
discussion has been raised, the question
this time being whether Columbus ever
set foot on the American continent at all.
1t was commonly believed, and is stated
in most modern histories, that the great
navigator in his fourth and last voyage
landed on the coast belonging to the
present republic of Honduras
Three years ago Don Soto, the presi-
dent of the republic, desired to com
memorate this great event by creating a
new administrative district at the place
and calling it Colon. But he determined
first to look into the original authorities
himself, and having done so found reason
to doubt the accuracy of the popular be-
lief on the subject Having communi-
Gated his doubts to Den Milla learned
Guatemalan, who has written a history of
Central America, in which he reprOduces
the usual statement, the latter re-ex-
amined all the documents of the time and
came to the conclusion that an error had
arisen through a Misrepresentation of
single passagein an old chronicler, and
that Columbus really never landed on the
continent

The oLAY.EAreas OF MARYLAND.
The Sorry Specimens of Humanity Who
Inhabit the Eastern Shore.
Baltimore Cor. Chicago Tribune.I


Inhabit the Eastern Shore.
baltimore Cor Chicago Tribune.l
The eastern shore of Maryland has not
only been brought into prominence by the
wonderful oyster beds that line 1t, but
also by some of the queer people who IN
habit the almost uninhabitable portions
of it. A great swamp extends through
Wicomico and Worcester counties. 1t
produces fine cypress, and is the home of
the most venOmOuS snakes 1t Is also
the home Of the 'swampers and clay
eaters. These are not reptiles or animals
but people, human beings, most OF whom
have never seen a railroad heard loco
motive-Whistle, or voted any ticket
1t is hard to understand the appetite
that Graves CLAY as a diet some people
refuse to believe that the people can live
and yet eat clay, but reputable and truth
full physician who recently contracted
a severe case of the shaking ague in
making a tour of the eastern shore sWamps
declares that these peculiar specimens of
the Maryland population do eat clay and
have passion or habit Of chewing it like
lovers of hasheesh. There is kind of
clay found in that section that is oily, like
putty, and with very little sand or grit
in it.
The physician referred to says the clay
eating SWamperS are miserable specimens
of humanity. w lth legs that are mere
sticks, narrow hips, depressed chests, pot
bellies, and blaish-y yellow complexion. they
present about the lowest type of the white
race found in the United States. The
swampers who acquire the habit of eating
clay are generally short-lived but the
other inhabitants of the eastern shore
swamps are as hardy as others and as
ignorant as HottentOts Many Of their
houses are built on piles, and they reach
them in boats through the lagOOns.
Though they shake with ague half the
year, and have skins the color of saffron
they seem to be insured against any other
disease for it is rare to hear of any other
kind of sickness in the sWamps than ague.
1t is astonishing what quantities Of qui
nine and whisky are consumed by these
people The women who are not clay
eaters chew tobacco and drink corn Juice
the same as the men. In the summer the
women and children gather blackberries,
which are plentiful in this vicinity. The
men go in the woods and make Shin
giles, which they sell to the nearest country |
stores for cheap wearing apparel, corn
meal bacon, quinine and whisky. These |
people are never reached by the tax col |
lie tor, the preacher, the book agent, the |
politician, or the lightning rod agent, and |
when they are not shaking with Chills |
they axe happy and contented

Lamar and the Tailor Congress m an.
Washington Letter. !


Secretary Lamars dreamy, distracted

nished many Jokes for his brother sena-
tors while ne was one of them. He likes
his coats to be loose and comfortable, so
loose that he can turn around and shrug
his shoulders inside of them and button
them up with a law book in his breast
pocket. He was sitting in his seat in the
senate one day, lounging down in the
depths of his coat somewhere, with the
collar riding up over his Gags, when he
was joined by Leopold Morse, a Boston
congressman of Hebrew decent WHO has
amassed great fortune in the clothing
business
Mr.. @MOrse seemed nervous about some
thing while he sat talking to the great
Mississippian, and when both rose to
finish the conversation standing. Mr.
MOrses twitching fingers suddenly laid
hold of the front of Senator iamars coat.
Instinct had been too much for him, and

where else the coat did not fit.

Cleanliness of Egyptians.
youths Companion.I


The higher and middle class of Egyp-
tan Mosjems are scrupulOusly clean
Their religion compels them to wash
themselves frequently, and thereby pre-
serve their health. Eut the foreigner will
see in the streets OF Cairo a richly dressed
veied lady, whose person is as clean as
frequent and prolonged bathing can make
it, leading by the hand little child with
a face besmeared with dirt, and with
clothes which look as if they had been
worn for months without being washed
The reason for this strange inconsist-
ency is that an unwashed and stability
dressed child is believed to be'less liable
to the dreadful evil eye
Another inconsistency is that an Egyp-
tian will go again and again to the bath
in the same dirty shirt He will wash
himself thoroughly, will be "shampooed"
from head to foot, and then put on that
dirty shirt, because his ideas of cleanliness
do not extend to his linen
