Chinese Costumes.

The principal feature of China
mans costume is the fact that nothing
ever fits but his stockings. His clothing
consists, really, of three or four shirts,
each opening in front and having five
buttons, sacred number. These but
tons are never in a straight row, but in
a sort of semi-circle half around the
body. The outer garments have sleeves
a foot longer than the arm, a fact which
affords abundant opportunities for
theft.
A Chinaman's jackets are his tbee
mometer. He will say, To-day is three
jackets cold, and If it increases at this
rate, tomorrow will be four or five
jackets cold"
Their shoes are well known, and their
caps are of three or four different forms.
One they call the watermelon cap"
of the shape of half watermelon, hav-
ing no front-piece, but, instead, a knob
on the top by which it is handled. The
second is like a round top felt hat with
the sides turned up, and others are Of
various shapes. The color Of the knob
on the top of the hat is the sign of rank
among mandarins The lowest wear
gilt knob, then white stone, clear
crystal, pale blue stone, deep blue,
pale red and deep red in order of
rank. Yellow may only be worn by
the emperor's family, but as mark of
respect to age, men over sixty years by
special edicts are allowed to wear yell
low, this always emitting them to great
consideration among all classes.
The dude pantaloon probably origin
ated among the Chinese. From the
dawn Of history, on state occasions,
officials and dressy persons will wear
sort of pantaloon, fitting as tightly as
possible to the leg, and each leg being
entirely separate from its fellow. These
trousers are of silk or satin, and the
legs are held in place by being fastened
to waist-band or belt around the body.
On the approach of cold weather the
Chinese increase the number of their
garments, until sometimes they are like
animated bales of cotton, their arms
being forced into nearly horizontal
position; nor do they take off their
masses of clothing until the return Of

WRITTEN FoR THE MIDLAND JouRNAL.l
The sky serene as summer noon,
The sunshine as in May.
The breeze as pure as oft in June
Is this fair New Years day.
At home in quiet happiness.
Ny precious one with me.
With many comforts we are bless'd
And sweetest thought of thee.
Thy letter, full of tenderness,
Came with the parting day
The years departing sscredness
SO soon to pass away.
Yes. thy sweet letter so like thee,
OF gentle magic strain,
Shedding its influence over me.
Watts me to youth again.
Never a breathing aught than love 4
Came from thy lipsto me, 4
Never . thought thy spirit moved
But purest sympathy.
How tenderly our thoughts may meet
Beyond those valleys fair
Fond memory reigns suprsfnely sweet;
Once We were children therel
We saw the New Yeax' come and g,
without one Thought of care.
The old year on the current flow
with light hearts then and there.
The dear old home upon the hill
All osher homes outvie,
Thellark's sweet note. the sparkling rill,
The waving willows sigh.
The peewee with its moss-grown nest
6ecreted meath the caves,
The turtle murmuring low and sweet,
The cricket in tho trees.
Such blossoms never meet my gaze;
No flower SO fair, SO blue.
The pure white rose, the crimson blaze,
Fondly our young hearts knew.
Ali we may never, never more
Visit the sacred spot,
I hear the creeking of each door;
Forget. forget 1t not.

Bad Medicine.

"Big Bob" Satta, the Indian murdered
on the SwinOmish reservation, near La
Conner, last Monday, by the four Indians,
Charley Williams, Tom Alexis, Charley
Seatit and Big Bill, who are now in the
King county Jail awaiting trial. was a
victim to Indian superstition.
1t has always been superstition
among Pacific coast tribes that when a
death occurred some "tenanimOus man"
(meaning Indian dOctor), was directly
responsible, and it followed as an unwrit-
ten law that the member of the tribe
most open to suspicion should be put to
death. 1t was supposed that the enlight-
ening influences of civilization had dis
sipated this dark superstition, but it
seems such is not the case. Big Bob, the
victim of this tragedy, had claimed to be
''tenanimous man." and had so worked
upon the credulity of his people that
W hen number of deaths occurred upon
the reservation the finger of suspicion
was at once pointed at him. The Indians
held a council and decided that their only
safety lay in the death of tie medicine
ma n and four of their number were APP
pointed to execute what they called retri-
butive justice in the most summary man
ner possible. Indian Agent Salmon was
told that Big Bob had been sentenced to
dea til, but, knowing the unreliability OF
his informants, laughed at them.
h Elrly Tues lay morning Big B,5's body
IA as found doubled up in a small and
astily dug hole, only partially covered,
wear the Catholic church. on the reserva-
Ii on. His throat had been frightfully
hacked and cut from ear to ear. 1t was
ev ident that he had made n desperate
struggle, and that he had only been over
powered after determined resistance
Agent Salmon had no difficulty in locat-
ing the murdcrers, who made no effort to
conceal their crime.
The Swinomsh reservation is now
without "tenanimOus mau."-P. l.
