CHINESE MARRIAGE CUSTOM Oh,

CHINESE MARRIAGE CUSTOM In one
respect, at least, China sets an example
which all the world would do well to fol
low. tn this empire every one marfies
and no one s'board5. Hence generally
speaking there are as many welded
couples IS there are men and women
above the manageable age, and as many
centers Of home life as there are couples
married.
The modification to this rule exists il
the fact that newly married pair find
its home in the family OF the husband +
parents until the bride is herself o
mother. With the marriage ceremony
the bride loses absolutely and finally all
connection with her own home, aud be
comes an integral part of the family Other
husband. In it she is only servant,
performing the most menial duties and
condemned to a life OF hardship and
drudgery until she is a mother. Then,
st last, she is entitled 20 q certain amoun,
OF respect and recognition, as something
higher than beast of burden. Cor. Chi.

Two Kinds of Boys.

The plain, awkward boy always
stands in great awe of the handsome
and graceful boy. The dapper, grace
ful, trim, 1.-THE youngster, who glides
about among the admiring girls like
Apollo among the nine graces, who
knows how to lift his hat with all the
grace of London dandy, and who
twirls bis cane like Beau Brummel,
such one looks with sort of re-
iined horror upon the awkward boy,
With much the same feeling bright
american lad might look upon young
Hottentot.
And the plain, studious, awkward
boy looks upon his more graceful con-
temporary with feeling very much
akin to envy. The awkward boy is
at home in the barn, but an embar-
rassed foreigner in the parlor; he is
graceful enough in the shed, but put
him IN the drawing-room and he will
fail over the chandelier. He is as
frightened as deer at bay at party.
If some good old lady speaks to him,
be cannot find half-dozen words out
Of the f15,000 in the dictionary with
which to answer her; and if a pretty
Girl speaks to him, those half-doZen
take flight, and he stands as dumb as a
sphinx, but Immediately falls in love
with her and nourishes hopeless pas
sion for the next ten days.
The graceful boy has no such trouble
The old ladies whisper, How polite
and gentlemanly;" the young ladies
are charmed; everybody likes him So
cially; he is intensely popular
R,,t+ %Io% = l.
ward boys need be discouraged. Smart
boys are most awkward. Shallow
boys, as a general rule, are graceful.
In few years, when the awkward
boy is walking, or possibly riding,
down to his place of business, he will
be very liable to pass his graceful
rival of an earlier date carrying his
dinner-pail to his work. When he is
mayor, the graceful boy will come
not half as gracefully as in the old
time-and ask him for a chance to
york on the streets. When the awlZ-
ward boy goes to congress-and awk-
ward boys have a way Of getting there
his graceful chum may possibly as
pire to become his private secretary,
but it is probable that he will not even
have arisen to such an estate as that.
The awkward boys have very grace
ful knack of rising in the ranks. Per-
haps it is the youthful habit of stum-
bling about that enables them so often
TO stumble into our thirty-eight guber-
patorial chairs, or into our White
House.
But this is not written to glorify
awkwardness. Awkwardness is per-
haps natural to the callowness of
thoughtful youth, but boy should get
over it as he gets over the measles.
Youthful awkwardness projected into
middle life sets as wretchedly as baby
dresses on a full-grown man. Yankee

No Change in Death.

A common notion formed by those
who theorize on the subject is that
men, when they come to die, undergo
some great change; that they alter
their opinions. are inspired with new
hopes and new beliefs. regard the
past with regret, and express contri
ton. '.You think so now." is often
said to us; ''you will think differently
when you know that you have but a
few hours to live This may be so of
some persons, especially of the weak
and unstable, of those more remark
able for emotions than convictions.
But it is not generally true. The ma
iority of men in this age die as they
have lived. If they have been selfish,
unjust, sensual, vicious, they pass away
in selfishness. injustice, sensuality,
viciousness. Even should they prom
ise amendment in serious illness they
would not, if they should be cured,
keep their promises. Promises under
such circumstances are almost invaria-
bly, broken when the circumstances
have been removed Established dis
position and constitutional bias may
vary with strong provocation, but they
steadily assert themselves In the main.
The pious man who has adopted a
creed follows his religious Observances
in dangerous illness and believes that
his soul will enjoy blissful immortal
ity. The inGsiel, in like condition,
though he regulates his worldly af-
fairs, concerns himself not about the
future, caring little and doubling
much whether there be any. He is no
more likely then and there, the ortho-
standing, to recant than the Christian
is to proclaim himself suddenly an
atheist. What we believe in perfect
health we are apt to believe in the face
of death, except that perfect health
is the better test of our belief.-1he

a One.Price House.

at is singular thing" remarked a
prominent d1.y-goods man, chow coun-
try merchants, coming here to buy,
refuse to believe that we are selling
goods at fair price and insist on try
ing to cut us down on everything. L
had an experience the other day which
is in point. A merchant from down in
Indiana came in and began to look at
things with one of my clerks. We try
to sell on the one-price principle. He
asked the price of some prints. The
clerk told him the price. He offered 3
cents yard less.
'''This is one-price house. said the
clerk. we can make no reduction.
".Nonsense,' said this smart man
from the country. 'You needn't try
10 fool me with any such stuff as that.
III give YOU cents less
..And the clerk could not persuade
him that he was telling him the truth,
finally coming to me in despair. l
went out and took the man in hand.
I offered him goods at from 3 to 5 cents
above the market price, and then
would take whatever he offered me-.
de finished his purchases, slapped me
on the back, remarking: That's
something like. None of your one
price business for me, and went out.
In the afternoon he came back and l
had two bills made out for him. The
lirst | handed him was made up from
his own prices. 1t was for about 800.
He looked at it and said: Those are
good prices. Oh. you can't get ahead
IF me with your one-price business.
Then | handed him the second. which
was made up of the actual prices at
which we had been selling. 1t was
over 500 less.
".What's that?" said he.
THAT is the bill we want you to
pay. That is what the goods cost you
at our prices. | wanted to show you
how easily you could be fooled by
thinking You knew more about our
business than we do ourselves
He paid the bill meekly and thanked
rae for his lesson."--1oledo Blade.

WASHING STONE FRONTS An entirely
new industry Las been established in
This city of late. It owes its existence
wholly to Pitts new atmosphere, and is
based on the fact that the Iron City's
buildings can be secured and made clean.
On Fourth avenue building in process
of remodeling hangs this sign: "Blank
& Blank Brick and Stone Cleaners. !"
The upper stories of the building refer
red to have been built of nice, new, cream
oolored stone. These, resting upon old
smoked stained stones gave the front a
bizarre and incongruous appearance
But the "brick and stone cleanser's"
services were called in, and 10! the entire
front now wears the appearance OF new
ness. The smoked stone put off its
erimy discolorations. The buildings
old facade was scrubbed with honest
soap and water, and now harmonizes
with the newer portion. ''Stone Fronts
Washed" is the announcement that most

Washing and Ironing" and similar leg
ends. The unlaundered building in this
city must perforce stand among its fel
lows as would dirty faced boy in Sun
