CHINESE CHILDREN.

CHINESE Cbli1DREN.
Chinese boys have a great many amuse-
Inents. They play marbles, only the marbles
are rolled with the foot instead of the fingers.
They play game like battledore and shuttle
cock, only the sole of the foot takes the place
of the battledoro. Kite flying is universal in
China, though that is rather q mans amuse-
ment there. But the range Of toys for chill
dren is almost endless in its variety, and
while they are ruder and far cheaper than
the elaborate clockwork contrivances with
us, they serve their purpose equally well.
But boy life in China is not ell made up Of
play. His preparation for manhood is made
much the same as with us, and when he
reaches a suitable age he is either sent to
school or put to work. Schools are found in
all TIE cities and villages, not supported by
tax, but by subscription or tuition fees, and
all Chinese parents who can possibly afford it
send their SONS to school, xhe sons OF the
poorest peasants-poor with a poverty Of
which we know nothing-may aspire to the
highest Offices in the state, excepting only the
imperial throne. The pathway to success is
education, hence every sacrifice is made to
keep the boy at school
Stories That Instruct as Well rs Entertain.
81 should like to relate an actual expert
ence with a child of g." says Katherine Nc
Quoid in Christian Union. "When this little
girl Of whom shall speak was years old,
told her for the first time the story Of the
Odyssey, using all the proper names. She
did not seem to care for it particularly, but
as it was repeated from time to time her in
terest grew, and in the course of month she
would beg to have it told her. Then some
times would read her parts which she espe-
cially liked, and in that way cultivate her
ear and taste for beautiful language Today
she Is more familiar with the story of Odys-
seus than most students who have read it in
the original.
81 have always found it better plan to be
gin to tell her the story first, and then, at en-
interesting point, begin to read. 1t was in
that way also that she grew to love "Hora-
thus" When she became perfectly familiar
with the poem, told her little Of the au-
thor, and about other brave things which
Horatius did. And SO she unconsciously
learns history and literature. And In the
same way teach her mythology, selecting
the most interesting parts, often weaving my
own Imagination into the story. Her mind
Is never crowded; she is told only few sto- !
ries and read to from few good books, SO
that what she knows she understands thor
oughly. As she grew older l read Haw- |
thorne's wonder Book" and "Twice Told
Tales" These she enjoys, and often there
are suggestions which give me an opportu-
nifty to bring in archaeological subjects"

Not All Play.
As baby the little Chinaman is called
''wa-wa," and his first Chinese words are
''pa" and ''ma," just the same as if he spoke
English. The first great event of his life and
bis first trial is when the barber is called in
to shave his head. He generally proves on
that occasion to be a true "wa-wa,n with
vigorous lungs. After this first shaving his
head for several years seems to send forth
what may be called "cue sprouts" in every
direction and from every part Of his skull
where the hair ought TO grow. Sometimes
as many as five or six, each braided and tied
with red cord, are found upon one boy.
The great day Of his youthful life is when
all these s1nP" cues are shaved off and the
single cue-the cue of manbood-is started

SIT" or "Set"

A writer in The Christian World sends up
this little rocket to shed light upon the con-
fusion existing in many minds in regard to
the use of the two words ''sitn and "set":
"a man, or woman either, can set hen,
although they cannot sit her; neither can they
set on her, although the old hen might sit on
them by the hour if they would allow. A man
cannot set on the wash bench; but he could
set the basin on it, and neither the basin nor
the grammarians would object. He could sit
on dogs tail if the dog were willing, or be
might set his foot on it, But if he should set
on the aforesaid tail, or sit his foot there, the
grammarians as well as the dog would howl.
And yet, strange as it may seem, the man
might set the tail aside and then sit down,
and neither be assailed by the dog nor the
3rammariansn
