Chinese PedagOgues.

All of US have our experiences of the
invincible contempt in which we are
held by our stolid mentors, who ac-
cept our presents with the air of a
chief levying tribute from his retain
ers. Amusing indeed are the ways in
which the frowsy old pedagogues be-
tray their feelings and childishly in
genious the devices to which they have
recourse in order to preserve their as
sumption of superiority before their
countrymen while Disgusting it before
the foreigner. Chinese etiquette helps
them, for they can put it on and off at
pleasure, and trust to the foreigner
not being cute enough to follow its
ramificatiOns. But sometimes even
the ceremonial forms are a snare to
them.
One, who was in the habit of being
revercntially bowed out of the house
after each days lesson, and stopped at
the threshold to return the obeisance
of his pupil, found on one occasion a
sudden necessity for adjusting his
dress, and in doing SO omitted the
customary formality. Struck by the
singularity of the proceeding, the for
eigner had the curiosity to follow tho
teacher into the street, and there saw
passing Chinese Ting-ch'ai. in whose
presence the old teacher would not
demean himself by doing reverence to
the foreigner,
Another kindly disposed scholar in
duced his teacher to dine and accom-
pany him to theatre. Unpleasant as
it is to sit near well-nourished Chin
ese during the time while his thoracic
air passages are charged the courtesy
of the Western pupil was commenda-
BILE. But the guest felt fidgety, not
withstanding the sedative effect of pork
and beans, and soon found an excuse
for leaving his foreign friend. He
could not. in fact endure being pub
licly seen in the company of a for
eigner. Needless to say that in the
streets your well-bred Chinese walk,
like the Levite, on the other side when
they see their foreign acquaintanees
approaching.-C Chinese Times.

This was the beginning of a summer
season for the cnas' eaed spirit of Baptists

underneath the crust Ct uucouthness and

TroglOdytean existence, that her uuWel-

cred ths world and its contents in purely

only to sffect them az that of certain bu-
man beings among the rest, whose trouhlss
tdey knew rather tEac suffered.
This was such sn entirely new way of
regarding life TO a woman of Baptista's IA
ture that her attention, from first bling az

imper2spsibl pulses har heart expanded il
symp lthy with theirs The sentences of her
tragl-comedy, her life, confused till now,
became clearer daily. That in humanity,
as exemphfsd by these girls, there was
nothiog to oi,likP, bat infinitely much to
pity, she learned with tie lapse of each
week in their company. She grew to like
the girls of unprom sing exterior, and from
liking she got to love tuem, till they form
ed an unexpected point of Junction be-
tween her own AID her husbands inter
ests, generating q stsrling friendship, at
least, between tie pair in whose existence
there had threatened to be neither friend
ship Ior love.

Il isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undeae
Which gives you q bit Of heartache
AZ the setting Of the sun;
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower YOU might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lled
Out Of the brothers way,
The bit Of hearthstOne counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch Of the hand, dear,
The gentle aud winsome tone
Tha: you had no time Or thought Tor
WITH troubles enough Of your own.
These little acts OF Kindness
so easily out Of mind,
These chances 10 be angels
Which even mortalS find
They come IN night and silence,
Each child reprOaChful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging,
And blight has dropped on faith.
For IF is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our SLOW compassion
That tarriss until too late.
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
us the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heaTtache
At the setting o. the sun.

What is the latest novelty in the
trunk businessf" was asked by a reporter
of well known dealer in that line of
goods few days ago.
THE very latest thing. believe. is
called the 'bureau trunk, and is made es
pecially for the use of ladies going to the
country or seashore, where the accommo-
dations are likely to be more or less
cramped in the matter of room. think
it about the neatest thing of the kind
ever put on the market, and, to use q
hackneyed expression, fills a long felt
want for those who are practically forced
to live in trunk for three months in
IN the YER"
The dealer then drew from under the
counter large rectangular shaped trunk.
1t was thirty six inches long and of pro-
portionate depth and width. with fat
top. and was covered completely with
light colored leather with silver clasps
and mountings Although of large size,
the trunk was unusually light in weight
and was easily handled. while the central
bands which surrounded it were q suffi-
cient guarantee of its stability.
But it was on the inside of the affair
that the popularity which gives it the
name of bureau" was diclosed and was
made apparent at once when the lid was
raised. In the bid were two shallow but
good sized drawers for the reception OF
the more delicate articles of women's ap-
parel. while above these was a deeper
drawer with compartments for hats and
bonnets. The body of the trunk was spa
cious and capable of holding large quan-
tity of dresses, etc. when closely packed.

A Carefully Planned Suicide Which Did
Not Take Place.

A Carefully Planned Suicide Which Did
Not Take Place.
A colored woman attracted large crowd
In the vicinity of the Factory street bridge,
last night, by her vociferous declar-
atiOns that she intended TO COM
NIT suicide by jumping from
the bridge to the railroad track below,
about twenty feet. She was slow in put
ting her threats into execution and took
time to fully explain her plans. She had a
razor, a gun and rope. and in case
the jump did not do the bus
mess she intended to cut her throat, in case
that failed she would shoot herself and
finally in case she found herself yet alive
she intended to hang herself.
She seemed to have everything in readi-
ness except the coffin aud funeral equipage,
when some colored man come along In
buggy, gathered her up and took her off.
No one seemed to know either her or the
man In the buggy, but a well arranged
suicide was unceremoniously nipped on the
bud
