CHINESE CHRISTENING,

by Sumptuous Dinner.
On a bed, spread with a spotless COW
ering of white, lay the child, the
tiniest, most fragile bit of bundle of
gaudy silk and olive-tinted cheeks.
About his neck hung string of gold
beads, there was band of gold about
his diminutive head, gold bracelets
encircled his small wrists, while two
ivory rings with gold fastenings were
clasped around his ankles, beneath
which were beautifully embroidered
shoes, which seemed to be no larger
than mans thumb. The guests
walked in silence before the bed, the
young heir blinking up at them with
all the wisdom of Confucius in his
face. When the last couple had filed
past the bed they gathered about the
center of the room and Win So, the
officiating priest picked up the bundle
of silk and carried it to a place before
the guests. The mother stepped forth
and took the bundle in her
arms, while all those present
bowed low. As yet no word had
been spoken by any one. Then the
priest bowed almost to the ground
three times, his face getting longer
and longer until he let out a string of
Chinese words, first to the father and
then to the mother. This was to ask
them if they both wished their heir to
be named Mon KeeSing. Both of them
nodded assent to this. The priest again
took the child and bowling three times
more, with him In his arms. pro-
nounced his name. There had been
stationed in the room three Chinese
musicians, and as the last words fell
from the priests mouth a sudden noise

the price was five times too high, for
the rat was the smallest which hung in
the butcher shop. It lies before me as
I write. 1t measures foot from nose
to tail, and it looks a little bit like a
piece of dried pork. It has been
skinned even to the tail. Its legs are
cut off, and the liver and heart are
pressed inside of it. It smells like
salt meat, and it looks as though it
would make the center of a good sand

CURE FOR INSOMNIA.

"A Swedish Home Treatment Which Does
~ Its Work Every Time.
There is a young woman in Brook
field. Conn, who is robust, perfectly
healthy, and full of spirit, but for sew
eral months she has been troubled with
insomnia Try with all her power,
and with her mind fixed on it, she has
been unable to sleep, at least to any
extent She has consulted all the old
women in the neighborhood, taken the
advice of each one, and followed it
carefully and with great patience, but
could not find relief. She had taken
all the soporifics of the native pharma-
copoeia without stint; eaten crackers
in bed; counted thousands upon thou
sards; fixed her mind upon some SUBJ
ject intently and kept it there, but with
no avail. She would not resort to
drugs, but tried walking to tire her
self until she got reputation as a
pedestrian, and her cheeks were as
red, her form as perfect, and her
muscle as well developed as that of an
athletic member of the New York
Athletic Club.
Recently there came to work in the
family a Swedish woman, who, hear
ing of the young woman's trouble. told
her of a pratice of the people in her
country who are similar afflicted. 1t
was to take napkin, dip it in ice-cold
water, wiring it slightly, and lay it
across her eyes The plan was fol.
lowed and it worked like a charm.
The first night the girl slept four hours
without awakening, something she had
not done before for several months.
At the end OF that time the napkin had
become dry. By wetting it again she
at once went to sleep and it required
considerable force to rouse her in the
morning.-N. 7. Sun.

CANNED DElICAClES
Tho Export of Northern Shell-Ffsh an,
Salmon to Tropical Countries.

The Export of Northern Shen-Fish and
Salmon to Tropical Countries
Progress in manufacturing has
greatly increased the physical com
fort of the tropical resident. No
longer is he dependent for subsistence
on the flesh, fish or fowl of the south
ern land. Though far on the other
side of the equator, northern products,
either animal OR vegetable. are within
his reach; at the worst, with a slight
ly ''tinnyr flavor. There is q far
greater quantity of fish sent to tho
tropics than any other class of canned
goods. Within the past year very
nearly half million dollars worth has
been exported to tropical lands. and
this does not take into consideration
those goods which were carried to
Africa, ETC.. via England. Salmon is
the popular variety; the consumption
of other fish is small in proportion. 1t
is caught in the Columbia river, and
in other streams of British Columbia
and Washington Territory, and canned
and labeled on the spot. By far the
greater part is carried to New York by
rail, but good-sized shipments go
across the Pacific to Australia and
Southern Asia, and British vessels take
it around the Horn to England, whence
portion finds its way to Africa
HOLSTERS are dear to the man in the
South and reach him by way of New
York, after being caught on the coasts
of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and
the adjacent provinces. The catch
diminishing recently, the export has
of late fallen off. Shrimps, another
export delicacy, are caught in the
Gulf of Mexico, largely on the coast of
Mississippi. Instead of being shipped
directly from New Orleans to South
America or the West Indies, they are
sent via New York, whence they are
dispatched southwark. Oysters, which
packed and labeled in Baltimore, but
they are seldom sent from there, as
general rule passing through New
York.
Thus New York becomes, from its
great shipping facilities. the port of
distribution and out-sending for the
tropical export trade. Nowhere else
is tonnage available, nor do lines of
vessels run; nowhere else is there a
surety of transportation. The export
market is widening rapidly, and espe-
cially in the canned and preserved
goods line, as is shown by the Ton
slant importing and success of new
brands upon the market Besides fish
there is growing demand for canned
fruits and vegetables, as peaches,
pears, cherries, tomatoes Gin marked
degree), corn and peas. This special
branch, as well as that of condensed
milk, of which large tropical ship
ments are being made, is yet in its in
fancy, but it shows promise of greaa
expansion.-N. Y. Mail and Express

THE HAPPY OPTIMIST.
A Man to Whom Every Cloud Is Spher
I'm Rure6f Silver.

Man to Whom Every Cloud Is Sphered
In Purest Silver.
The optimist is the jewel of society.
He is not born; he is made The OPP
timist is the pure metal that glistens
at the bottom of the worlds cracible
after it has been freed from all dele
terious matter by the fire of adversely.
He is, as it were, sheaf of expert
ence clarified and tinctured till nothing
but the pure, fragrant altar remains
1t is not impossible that he may have
been, in his younger days. so ill-con-
tanned as to rant himself hoarse as a
mosquito. The father of American op-
timists, whose soul, in his latter years
was as calm and translucent as one of
our mountain-girt lakes, was irascible
in his youth.
When one has been beneath the trip
hammer of real affection, has felt the
hand Of calamity clutching ct his
heart, the little everyday an:
noyances seem to him like the
tickling of straw welded
by liliputian, and the cries of pain
and disappointment that winnow the
air, as the tinkling babble of toy lives.
Who shall say that the optimist has
not caught a glimpss of the infinite?
Is it not very like. for is he not ever
tip-toeing on the skirt of the limitlesss
The faith of the optimist is as bound
less as space itself, even though you
grant it the much-haggled-over fourth
dimension. and by this faith he be-
comes almost a prophet, for the knowl-
edge of what ought to be. and the faith
that it will be brought to pass A
Delphic oracle, or a seer of Ercildoun
is not more intuitive than your. perfect
Optimist- He can catch the outlines of
the ideal flower even while Nature Wig
orously Yields the pruning knife of adj
versity. cutting back the young plant
and fitting it for better growth.
To the optimist every cloud not
only has silver lining. but is sphered
in silver. with every drop of rain @
pearl. The mission of the optimist is
to find good in every thing. and nobly
he fulfills it He is an oasis hid in the
great social desert fountain of peace
and content, undisturbed by the
typhoon of restlessness and dissatis-
faction that swerls ceaselessly about
him His presence is as soothing as
the low hum of an 2oliau string fin
gered by the zephyr, and as healthful
as the wind which Egypt's natives
call the doctor" is to the burning
cheek and parched lip of the fever
stricken African tradesman.
where gets the optimist this peace
which passeth all understandings It
comes from his conviction that around
the waist OF nature, cestus-like. is
bound the saving and memorable law.

It gives plaintive squeak;
It begs me not to NEEDLE,
