wicked are liable are wildly repre-
sented by appropriate images, while the
stern kings of the pandemonium are
gloating with satisfaction over their
agony. This part of the show seems to
strike special terror and awe into the
ChlneSe, as it forewarns them or the
fate to which they are liable, and the
contemplation of which is anything but
agreeable to them.
In the center of this part of the
building are hung up large scrolls of
silks with gilt letters embroidered on
them, and before them is placed an
altar, with incense urns. candleStickS,
offerings of victualS, fruits, wines, etc.
The space is fenced round with railing,
and within several priests are constantly
reciting their incantationS. This place
is also adorned with pots of beautiful
flowers, trimmed and twisted into grace
full forms with Chinese ingenuity.
The theater which is an adjunct to
the celebration, Is an eXtemporiZed
structure, built OF bamboo mating and
distant from the main building about
100 yards. The passage connecting
these two structures is likewise COW
cred with bamboo mating, and at night
is brilliantly lighted. Facing the thea
ter, ami distant from it only few rods,
plouS Cantonese are permittee to purify
themselves by fasting.
The theatrical performances are after
the same character ana style as those
usually witnessed in China, with the
exception that, this being solemn and
semi-religiouS occasion, the most fla
gravity indecent plays are excluded.
As the performances are free to all
corners thousands of natives stand up
hour after hour to see them, and among
the audience is found Il good admiXture
of women. Seats are only provided for
the ia lilies and friends of the more re-
specialize Cantonese in roughly
Structed grand stands.
The celebration continued three days
and before daylight on the morning of
the 4th inst. all the paper images and
figures were burnt and the festivities
concluded.

A daintily clad little woman-she was

plump, prosperous-looking head of the

belliOus reddiSh-brOwn locks as she eX-
planned, to an accompanying clatter and
bang, as if the whole alphabet were
out for spree: Il didn't expect to
keep her long," she said. "She came
to me year ago to learn the business,
and her mother-she wore diamonds
came with her, half-apOlOgiZing for her
daughters whim. The two of them wore
gowns that turned the heads of the

lady do but get permission, without
assigning any reason for the freak,
to learn typewriting-sh is study

idea into her head that, if she and her

How Could She?

dOlyoke democrat.
A pretty good story is now being told
of a cook in one of our leading reStau-
rants. A French butcher calls OH her
every morning to take her meat order,
and although the marketman claims he
cannot speak English or understand it
intelIigently, still, he and the cook man
age to convey loving sentiments to each
other every morning. A few mornings
ago the landlord happened to walk into
the kitchen just as the pair were man
aging to convey these sentiments with
the lips of one suspiciously close to the
other. Of course, when the cook saw
the landlord approaching, she kicked"
and shook her head and made as many
gestures to denote that she was offended
as she well could.
''Why don't you stop that Frenchman
from kissing you, Mary? This is the
third time I've seen him do it," growled
the landlord.
''But [ can't do it, you know" re-
sponded the cook, quite innocently.
"Why?" inquired the landlord.
GLOW can l. when l don't speak
French?" was the reply.
