A Chinese View of America.

Lien Sang, of Hong Kong, dined
at the Continental last evening. He
is a Chinese gentleman Of fifty years,
a retired merchant, and is making a
visit to this country where his house
has branches. He said through an
interpreter that America is a very
funny country, because here we do
things exactly opposite to the best
form in civilized China. We shake
hands with each other; the China
man shakes hands with himself. We
uncover the head as a mark of res
pect: the Chinese gallants not only
keep their hats on, but when wishing
to be very polite remove their shoes
We shave our faces; they their heads
and eyebrows. We cut our finger
nails; they consider it aristocratic to
let them grow from five inches to a
foot in length. The Chinaman
whitens his shoes, buries his dead on
the surface of the earth, and de-
mands that his wine be scalding hot
when served. With us black cloth
ing is sign of mourning; in China
white garments indicate the loss Of
friends. In the Celestial empire, not
children, but old men fly kites, walk
on stills, play marbles, shoot fire.
crackers, and, in doing this, use their
feet as much as possible instead Of
the hands. In China the men are
milliners, "washerwomen" and dress
makers. We live, cook and eat
usually on the first floor, sleeping
upstairs; but the Chinaman reverses
this order. In dating letters we
write the year last; they place it
first. In speaking of the compass
they always say it points south. We
pay our doctor when we are i'll. they
pay as long as they remain we'll. but
as soon as they get sick the paw
stops. Here men kill their enemies.
A Chinaman gets revenge by killing
himself. They launch ships side
ways, ring bells from the outside,
and turn screws from right to left.
Mr.. Sang mournfully observed:
america may be a great country,
but it is truly the queerest of places. "

the best external remedy that have known.
Years ago, when thrown from a carriage

severe cough, which threatened pulmonary

in less than a fortnight was entirely cured.

ming Of Japanese or Chinese feast,
to see the host help his guests to
sweets, as then is displayed the best
and most graceful play Of the chop
sticks. One can take a lesson, as the
master Of the feast daintily lifts
cakes or CONNECTIONS and places them
on the plate or paper before each
guest. The Chinese chopsticks are
longer than the Japanese, often met
al-tipped and decorated, and are
used again and again: Mandarins
carry their own silver-tipped ivory
chopsticks to a feast, wipe them
clean, and carry them home again
when it is over. In the common
restaurants in Chinese cities, the
chopsticks constitute a lottery for
the patrons. All the sticks are kept
together in a deep, round box, and
certain ones are marked on the lower
end with a Chinese character or
number. The ones who select those
chopsticks from the box, are entitled
to an extra dish or portion without
charge. In the old city of Ten
Tsin, particularly, one is half deaf
ened when he passes a restaurant by
the rafting of the boxes of chop
sticks and the shrill voices of the
proprietors screening the merits of
their establishments at the top of
their lungs.
In Japan, where exquisite neatness
and daintiness mark every part of
household living, the same chop
sticks are used only once. At
feast, or at an ordinary tea-house,
long paper envelope laid beside ones
bowl contains a pair of twelveinch
sticks no thicker than lead pencils,

$3.50 an Hour.

The annual income of John D.
Rockefeller, the founder and head
of the Standard Oil Company, is said
to be about $4,000, 900, which is an
equivalent to an accumulation of
nearly $3.50 an hour. He gives
away large sums for charitable and
religious objects, but even with the
demands made upon his generosity
he is not likely to be beggared for
some time to come. Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter is 50 years old, and SO thorough

Talk About Birds.

There is a class of people in every
community of cultivated tastes and
possessed of the finer feelings of hui
mainly who every spring season
manifest concern for the birds. The
birds that cannot endure one wintry
climate vacate the country every fall
season ON the approach of cold
weather, and migrate to warmer
region, but exactly where, ornithol-
ogists are not agreed Most people
suppose they 60 to the sunny south
to spend their winter vacation, but
many persons who have given the
subject study, deny this, and say the
evidence of it is wanting. Without
attempting to explain what becomes
of the birds in cold weather, it is left
for others to discuss. The chief
matter of interest that concerns the
friends of birds is the expressed
opinion by careful observers that the
more desirable varieties of birds are
every season growing less in number,
The swallow, the robin, the blue
bird, once SO common, are now not
seen with as much frequency as
years ago The black bird, the
crow and blue jay have few or no
friends, and no one seems to care
what befalls them. If the fact be
conceded that the most favorite
kinds of birds are really diminishing,
there must be reasons for it. One
reason given is that lawless bird
shooters kill a robin or a swallow as
readily as a crow or black bird. An
innocent bird is as good mark for
them as chicken hawk The par
ent who INDUCES his son in this in
discriminate shooting of all kinds of
birds is fitting him for acts of law
lessness. Another excuse for the
disappearance Of birds is charged to
the little sparrow, not a native of
this country, but imported from Eng
land and propagated its kind here
with wonderful rapidity. This little
bird has the reputation of stealing
into nests Of other birds, breaking
their eggs and feeding on them.
The English sparrow may be falsely
accused, but its reputation is not
good An intelligent citizen, an ad-
mirer of birds, on mild morning
about the middle of March past, saw
over a half dozen robins on his lawn,
evidently new corners, warbling and
happy, The day was followed by a
piercing cold night. The robins
have disappeared and our citizen
bird friend is anxiously in doubt
whether these welcome visitors have
gone away to stay. Every humane
man and woman will put in a plea,
saying, spare the innocent birds.
