New Year in China.

New Years morning the streets in
China are very quiet All the shops
are closed, crimson cloth hangs in fes-
toons along the street, and crimson
sheets of paper with the word ''Hok"
(happiness) written upon them, give
benediction to the passer-by. Here and
there a strip of blue paper is the silent
token that death has entered this home
during the past year. From twelve
O'Clock till three the streets are full of
callers decked out in gorgeous apparel.
The visiting card for the New Year has
generally stamped upon it emblems of
the 'Samhok, or Three Happinesses,
viz: offspring, official employment, and
longevity. Gentlemen are seen carrying
in their hands red visiting cards, seven
inches long, as they go to present their
good wishes to kinsmen and acquaint-
ances. On entering a house every
body within sight and hearing shouts
Kiong-hi (congratulations). After an
exchange of formal and fiowery COM
pliments, the caller takes his departure
to s'bestow the illumination of his dis
tinguished countenance" on other
friends. The New Year is the time for
exchange of presents between friends.
Tradesmen send gifts to their custom
ers, and parties who have been
estranged may venture peace offering
TO each other. The most common gifts
are rare fruits, sweetmeats, fine teas,
silk stuffs, or ornaments OF various
kinds. Very little work is done for a
whole week. Englishmen and others in
China, holding this great National cele-
bration in contempt, have sometimes
tried to ignore it, and go on with bust
ness as usual, but China declares she
will not work for at least week, and
the foreigner must therefore take a
holiday also.

thirsted, began slowly and laboredly to
decipher the miserable script. 1t is to
be hoped that curiosity was satisfied by
what followed, for a small shrek ema-
mated from the Widow Pimlott's lips as
that lady, in spelling out the message,
read as follows:
'Died at Catamarca, South America,
on the 18th inst, of consumption, your
uncle, Nebuchadnezzar Num-, the mill
ionaire."
1t was difficult to read, but she read
it; it was hard to understand, but she
understood it; and it was her very in
significance hitherto, when put in the
balance with her sudden new and great
Importance, that caused the little ledger
to rise high in the scale of her landlady's
favor. The Widow Pimlotts heart was
filled to overlooking with pleasant an
ticipations, sudden affection and long
ing for the poor, little, Woodworking
"plain sewer" who had left her only
last Thursday to go for a fOrtnight's stay
at Farmer Wheatfield's, for the farmers
two daughters were both to marry in a
month, and their mother said it twas
cheaper" to have ''a woman in the
house" to do the necessary sewing be-
forehand.
Clicketty, clicketty click, went the
needles again, and faster and faster and
faster went the thoughts of Widow PIN
lott, as they spun round the hub OF this

and postal card-a foreign postal card
for her other ledger, Miss Mercy
Num-. Perhaps Miss Num- herself was a
wee bit to blame for going off, as she did,
away up country" all of a sudden, for
if she'd been there Curiosity would have
been satisfied at once and gone his way
in peace. But Miss Num- was not there,
while Curiosity was-and the postal
card.
The address Widow Pimlott found,
after obeying Curiosity's command to
look at it, was written in queer, crab
bed, wriggling sort of script. Some of
the letters took upon themselves airs
and scared loftily above even the loops
of their taller fellows, and if the letter
carrier hadn't told the good landlady
that the postal card acds for Miss Num-
she'd never have guessed it; but, since
she had been told, it all looked as plain
as day."
Beyond the clicking, shining needles
that fought fierce duels over and under
the ever-interfering thread of honest
gray yarn that was slowly allowing
itself to be fashioned into a thick,
warm foot-coverlng Tor her other
lodger, Mr.. Nicholas Newcomb, Widow
Pimlott did not allow her eyes to rove.
Curiosity still perched there, impishly
intent upon making his victim obey his
mandates and avail herself of this one
good opportunity of obtaining infor-
nation without any one being the
wiser. His was, at first, hard and
seemingly useless task; but he knew
his own great power and his victims
weakness, and so sat at his ease close
beside the modest little pile of mail
matter, until sudden gust blew down
the chimney, laughed at his lack of en-
terprise and blew the card straight
into the lap of the Widow Pimlott!
Miss Nunn's landlady carefully ad-
justed her glasses afresh, and, tacitly
accepting this breezy invitation to avail
herself of that for which her soul

Miss Num-, she's got one-a ripsnortin'
big one, too; and jest you be a leetle
keerful, gals, er she'll pass the jedge's

The very improbability of the thing
raised a general, good-natured laugh,
and it was in the midst of this ''mirth-
full music" that Mercy Num- first
touched the cornerstone of her wonder
full after-life. 1t was goodly-sized COR
ner-stone, and after she had found a
cozy nook all to herself, with many
queer surmises and pair of small
shears, opened it

strange and glorious sunrise?

gust and Regret were the rank and file,
with Despair for their leader-strong,
paunt, gigantic Despair!
His very soul at first shrunk at the
awful onslaught; around, about, behind,
before him they charged-cutting at his
self-esteem, beating down his manli-
ness, hacking hard at his goodly store of
principles, until, human worm that he
was, he writhed and turned upon them
all. Single-handed he met them, daring
them to do their worst!
And as the good fight went on-as one
by one he met the enemies of his peace
and slew them, until not even Disap-
pointment lved-the light little feet
above stairs, in their dutiful round,
were beating upon the door a soft re-
yeille that sounded clearly in the war
rior's ears-a revcille that turned the
echoless, empty rooms of his house and
heart into home where love and life
and Joy and peace and sweet content
were made welcome from that hour!
Two doors were opened-two forms
entered into that humble arena where
lust now the battle of a life had been
fought-and won; but no signs of the
bloodless ARRAY were there to horrify
the two women, who both advanced,
smilingly, until they stood outside the
counter just opposite a pretty paneled

A SILLY PROPOSITION.



The suggestion of marriage reformer
in England that the marriageable age of
both sexes be restricted to twenty-five
years or less has created a sensation and
has started a discussion that bids fair to
rival the contention over Mrs. Mona
Cards question, SIS marriage failure?"
1t should be stated that the proposition
is made in good faith, and also that it's
author is a married man himself.
Just why this reformer advances a
theory which he must have known be-
forehand was sure 10 be condemned on
all sides does not appear. Perhaps he is
seeking notoriety, or possibly thinks,
like many other apostles of reform, that
he has found a truth and is willing to
SOW seed amidst difficulties which shall
bear fruit generations TO come, when his
present appellation of crank will be
changed to that of martyr.
But the discussion is going on in En-
gland with great earnestness, if that
be called discussion which is argued
on one side only. 1t is quite interesting
to see how the nation rises in arms
against any restrictions being placed
upon marriage. Bachelors hopelessly
welded to celibacy denounce the plan
with the ardor of youth about to lead
his bride to the altar. They don't want
to get married, would die of apopleXy at
such a prospect, but like true Britons
they decline to gi.e up any liberty, even
if it is useless to them.
The fair sex, of course, is Justly excl
ted over the proposal, and those whose
chances of entering the married state
are least are IOudest in denouncing it.
One might suppose that the sex which
suffers most from ill-assorted marriages
might look with some favor on scheme
devised to lessen the evils arising out
of the matrimonial state, but this is not
the case. The only change that they
want is that the deceased wife's sister
bill become law.
There is no likelihood of any such
restrictive legislation being passed. The
marriage reformer has struck the wrong
lead. A law requiring every one to be
married before attaining twenty-five
years would be much more popular.
Human experience has shown that all
legislation of this kind has been at
tended with the worst possible results.
Marriage, the most important step of
every persons life, is beyond legislative
control, and although the world can fur
nish many examples of ill-asSorted mar
riages, it can point with great satisfac-
ton to the fact that most of them result
as happily as if, according to the proverb
they had been made in heaven.-Phila-

WHY WOMEN MARRY.
Some of Their Reasons for Entering the
Matrimonial State.

There are all sorts of motives that
actuate women to marry. For this act
her reasons are more numerous and
unique than for any other. The best
and most excusable reason is being SC
much in love that she feels herself I'M
able to live without the man she cares
for. When this kind of affection assails
her she might as we'll go and marry.
Marrying is the only thing that will
make her a useful and rational member
of society.
When girl marries in her second sea.
son the man may be pretty sure of her
whole heart. 1t always seems pity for
woman to fall in love SO young, though.
In marrying at nineteen she gives up
four or five years Of perfect freedom and
unhampered pleasure. One can be mar
ried for long time, but four or five
years are all that are socially accorded
to young ladyhood. These years, with
their freedom and opportunities for
travel and reading, are not to be scorned.
They often give the strength and ex-
perience upon which is formed the sue.
cess of lifetime. Every man ant
woman should belong entirely to him
self for at least four years of his perfect
physical and mental maturity. One
should know ones strength and ones
weaknesses before asserting the one or
resisting the other against fellow
creature.
Then in marrying young girl man
seems to take more risk and more re-
sponsibilities than he does in marrying
one betwe'.J twenty and twenty-five.
Between those ages a woman's social
aims and worldly ambitions become de-
cided. | remember seeing this sadly ex-
emplified in man who married pretty
village girl of eighteen and took her to
a city. She thought herself very much
in love with him, and certainly he was
very handsome, lovable being. In five
years she developed into society but
terfy, loving nothing but herself and
the batteries of men concerning her
pretty looks. 1t seemed pity that this
little country girl hadn't had four years
of single life in which to develop her
tastes.-Atlanta Constitution.
