CHINESE CHRISTENING.
A Peculiar Religious Ceremony Followed

A Peculiar Religious Ceremony Followed
by Sumptuous Dinner.
On bed, spread with 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 a string of gold
beads, there was band of gold about
his diminutive head, gold bracelets
eacircled 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 a 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 tho
priest bowed almost to the ground
three times, his face getting longer
and longer until he let out 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 Kee Sing. 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 sudden noise
of a screeching, one-stringed violin and
two piercing wind instruments broke
out. This lasted only a moment, how
ever, and there was no Chinese drum,
this being used especially at funerals.
When the hideous music had stopped
all fell to chattering like mad around
the father and mother. Then followed
dinner which lasted for two hours.
The whole ceremony, including the
''name-feast,' as it is called. required
a trifie over three hours. N. 7. Trib-

EMPEROR WILLIAM.
A Hot-H"aded Young Man Changed to q
Moralist and Di.ciplinarian.

A Hot-H"aded Young Man Changed to =
Moralist and Di.ciplinarian.
The industry and mental activity OF
Emperor William are regarded by
some as abnormal. Probably no one
would entertain. such an impression
were it not for the hereditary faint OF
insanity which has showed itself at
times in the family. But if this idea
can be put aside he presents by this
time promising claim to be added to
the list of historical characters OF
whom Henry V. of England stands as
type.
The sense of responsibility has
changed the Emperor from hot
headed young man of loose habits to
not only a cautious, Woodworking
monarch, but apparently to stern
moralist, as those who were once his
Falstaff and his Poins nave had occa-
sion to find out There is reason to
say of him as Carlyle said of his pre-
decessor, the great Frederick: Favor,
friendly intimacy, it is visible from the
first, avails nothing with this young
King; beyond and before all things
he will have his work done, and looks
out exclusively for the men ablest to
do it." Events may change this view,
but so far it holds good.
The Emperor is a strict disciplinarian
everywhere, even subjecting his own
children to course of training SO
rigid as to call for a protest
from the tender-hearted. His early
ride, not long ago, to surprise a mill
tary post, indicates the kind of surveil-
lance he exercises over the army.
Recognizing the Importance of diplo-
macy at the present juncture of Euro
pean affairs his first care is to estab-
lish personal acquaintanceship in for
eign courts and at the Vatican. In the
delicate international relations which
prevail he has, contrary to expecta-
tions. avoided mistakes.
There are harsh and unpleasant,
perhaps unfilial, sides to his character,
but it must be conceded that the young
man has compelled, by his careful at
tentfon to business and freedom from
rashness, reversal of the Judgment
formerly passed on him and has excited
a respectful interest in his career.-N.

CANNED DELiCACtES.

yhe Export of Northern Shel1-Fish anC
Salmon to Tropical Countries.
Progress in manufacturing has
greatly increased the physical com.
fort of the tropical resident. Nc
longer is he dependent for subsistence
ON the flesh, fish or fowl of the south
ern land. Though far on the other
side of tho equator, northern products,
either animal or vegetable, are within
his reach; at the worst, with a slight
~ ''tinny" flavor. There is far
greater quantity of fish sent to the
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. It
Is caught in the Columbia river, and
I'm 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
ft around the Horn to England, whence
d portion finds it's 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
are sent down in goodly numbers, are
packed and labeled in Baltimore, but
they are seldom sent from there, as
general rule passing through New
York
Thus New York becomes, from it's
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. AID espe-
efally in the canned and preserved
goods line, as is shown by the con-
slant importing and success of new
brands upon the market. Besides fish
there is groWiAg demand for canned
fruits and vegetables, as peaches,
pears, cherries, tomatoes Tin marked
degree, corn and peas. This special
branch, as we'll as that of condensed
milk, of which large tropical ship
ments are being made. is yet in it's in
fancy. but it shows promise of great

seems to be absolutely inviolable.
Where nature has been lavish with her
colors the decorator should be sparing
of them. No admixture of strong tints
can heighten the brilliancy Of Rubens

hence the increased demand for Altera-
