MONDAY. JAN. 80.

This has been one Of the most
exciting and interesting IN at
council has seen. The lease was
the main subjectunder discussion.
The senate discussed the house
bill in favor Of advertising for bids,
as passed on Saturday. After dis.
cussion, bill was killed by a strict
party vote OF ten Nationals to six
Downihgs.
While the senate was so engag-
ed, the house was laboring heavi.
ly, .toiling and struggling and
wrestling with lease bill to au-
thorize an advertising for not less
than $4,000. This was passed
by 10 TO II, sent 10 senate and
killed. In the afternoon the
the house called back, reconsider
ed and passed the senate lease bill
(si25, 900 Year, which was kill
ed on last Saturday This now
goes TO the chief. Will he veto
the bill ? No one yet knows.

spected and approved by the SEN

ch,,ess Care CT the BODY.

The Chinese .eei the utmost repugnance
10 any nutilatOn OF the body, not or ac-
count of the vain or the fear OF death,
but because Of the sentiment that II is a
mans duty to keep intact, as far as he
can. the body which his parents have be-
queathed to him. II forms part of that
system OF filial piety which is the or
tboiox religion Of China, and has had its
share in producing the Chinese dislike OF
wars and revolutions. Patiently and IN
compIainingly as most Chinese will 60
through surgical operation II Is well
known that they strongly object TO am.
putation, and II Is often difficult to In
dace them to submit TO 1t. They in
variably ask for the severed limb, which
they either keep in box, to be buried
with the original owner on his death. or
they eat il. This latter method has the
countenanceof antiquity; what is severed
from the body by accident or necessity is
returned 10 it.
A work which has been called the Chi.
nese prose "Iliad" records Of certain
hero that, when drawing ont stray
arrow which entered his eye in battle, the
eve came with the weapon, whereupon he
swallowed the former with great sang
froid observing that fathers flesh and
mothers blood should not be thrown
away. Some commentators on the work
say that as q temporary expedient this
was quite allowable. and even commend
able, but the regular course would be to
wrap up the eye and keep it until death
Teeth are treated in much the same way.
Mix teeth are regarded as a mere make
shift Of nature, and, therefore, not pos
sessed of the dignity Of adult teeth. The
latter are carefully kept when they come
out, or they are ground to powder and
swallowed in water. for they are part of
the parents bequest. Another phase Of
this subject Is the practice, so frequently
commended by the emperor, Of making
broth for sick parent ont Of flesh cut
from the body Of the child. Tho efficacy
Of the practice Is that it restores TO the
parent a portion Of his own essence.
Niceroys are constantly begging for spe-
cial rewards TO be bestowed on children
who have mutilated themselves for this
pose.-North China Herald.

Art Criticism by tho TaiIors.

The tailors Of London are deyoting their
attention TO artistic tailoring and, incl
dentally. to art criticism from a profess
sional point Of view They conclude that
few artists know how 10 properly portray
4 sitters clothes, and that in only one or
two Of the pictures at the Royal academy
can the materials be recognized. They
praise Burne Jones paintings without
stint, but POINTER is criticised because his
portrait Of the earl of Hardwood shows IAN
outside breast pocket on the right side IT
his lordships coat" and Halls picture of
Earl Spencer is "a miserable failure" as
the coat looks more like more.u than
fur" The structures on the style, lit and
fashicning" Of the clothes seen in the por-
traits are 10 less severe.-Chicago News.

The Army Of Drumncrs.

The army of commercial travellers from
New York city alone has been estimated
az sixty thousand. and. in my opinion,
that is below the number Boston, Philc-
delphia and Baltimore are proportionateiy
represented, and there is scarcely town
or even a village in the east that has not
its contingent. In no other country has
the drummer such field TO cover as in
this. Many have the whole continent for
foraging ground, and tho experienced
drummer thinks no more Of going TO San
Francisco or Mexico or 81. Paul than he
does Of going to Jersey City or Brooklyn.
The "bOys, as they are called, are known
individually TO men tn remote country
districts who have never left the shadow
of their native burg. Without them many
G. hotel would close mp and many maiden
would sigh In vain for the latest New
York fashions. They have nearly super
seeded the picturesque pcddler Of CIR
grandfathers' days, for the "store" Is
everywhere and the drummer follows the
store.
Every ono who wants to sell anything
at wholesale is obliged to hire q drummer

ant one. and If he is a good salesman lie
can demand u high salary. There are
some men on the road today getting
higher salaries than judges on the bench,
presidents al mercantile societies, aud by
far the larger proportion Of literary men.
So exacting, in fact. are its conditions
that to find one thorough in all require
ments is rot very easy. There is no
doubt. therefore, that in spite of occa-
sional anroyances Ia tradesmen, the
drummer is o most useful trade institu-
ton. Like death and taxes, lie has come
to stay. and never fails to pay MS his call.
