PRuGALITY OF CHINESE.
They Menace the World Because They
Can subsist Upon Almost Nothing.

ANY
Can Subsist Upon Almost Nothing.
Rev. Mr.. Vrooman, now Chinese inter-
prefer in the California courts who was
for twenty-five years a mis- sionary at Can
ton, and WAS subsequently among the
Chinese in Melbourne, informed me that
he knew of two chinese in the latter place
who made a living for themselves and a
horse from q quarter of an acre of Ian d.
In addition to supporting themselves n
the holSe, they each sent fifty dollars
yearly to their relatives at home.
A population of 500 to the square mile
is not uncommon in the best agricultural
districts in China. In that country, If
anywhere. missionaries should devote
their best energies to urging the practice
of the M%althusian doctrine. But a China
man prays constantly for sons. daughters
being household shadows INT household
sorrows. Population is checked to some
small extent by the murder of female in
fants.
Fresh air and sunshine the Chinaman
can come nearer to doing wholly without
than any other human being. Both
seem tO be superfiuities TO him. To ride
across the continent in a freight car, with
no opportunity to lie down save on bare
boards, would be exceedingly trying to
an American; but it would not incou-

Here is a letter l received by the last

Parnell Blinded by Irishmen.

Fne oifHuci ny tftettftti-
Surely nothing can be more lament
able than the situation in Ireland to-
day. A great cause, involving the
political liberty of a nation, is here
wrecked by the narrow wronghead-
edness and petty jealousy Of a hand
full of small politicians, who, almost
without exception. owe everything
they possess to the great man whom
they assail not only with abuse but
also with violence.
The spectacle OF Parnell struck
blind by the people TO whom he has
given up his life is a spectacle to fill
the world with horror and dismay.
There is no Irishman but must burn
with shame at the reproach of savage
ingratitude which this terrible deed
brings upon the Irish name. The
hour is almost as dark for Ireland to-
day as it was the morning after Burke
and Cavendish died in the Phoenix
Park by the knives of the Invincibles.
for, Just as in that c%onjuncture. the
sympathy and support OF the disin-
terested peoples is withdrawn from a
land where such atrocities prevail.
In that dark hour Parnell was the
man who set the Irish people right.
who INDICATED the nation at large
from the reproach incurred by a few
men. He was the man who rallied
the wavering, confirmed the dou BIT
ing, called back England and Amer
lea to the support of his cause, and
moved on to fresh successes. Today
he is, once again, the man in whose
hands the destinies of the country
rest. II he is spared his sight he will,
we hope and believe, rally the forces
OF Home Rule once again.
The dastardly outrage of which he
has been the victim may even prove a
blessing in disguise. 1t shows either
that his opponents are willing to go
to any lengths, or else it proves that
they have no control over their fol-
lowing. Take either horn of the
dilemma and their utter unitness for
political control is apparent. 1t
seems as If it would be impossible for
the priesthood to still support a
party whose best political argument
is a bag of quicklime. 1t seems as if
it would be hard for any men of re-
spectacle standing to identify
themselves with those who adopt
the weapons OF nihilists and commun-
ards. Besides, the personal injury to
Mr.. Parnell, his danger and his suffer
ings will win the general sympathy
for him, and, doubtless, tent OF thous-
ands of those who were hesitating be-
fore will now flock to the standard of
the man who has been made a martyr
by his enemies.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Dainty Tokens Of Love and Friend
ship-Pretty Penwipers.

Dainty Christmas tokens are little
bonbonnieres that are useful, after
their freight of confectionery is de-
voured, for jewel cases or table orna-
ments. Some charming mes at the
Decorative Art Rooms are pink or
blue satin bags with fiat, square bot
tom that is fitted to a square of semi
transparent celluloid, which is cut
with turned up pieces like the sides
of a box. These are painted with
flowers the shade of the satin,
which shows softly through
the celluloid. The satin bag.
lined with silk, is drawn together at
the top with broad frili. A model for
the celluloid base can be found by
opening a medium-sized note envelope
fully, marking off the square in the
centre, and squaring off che points of
the flaps. The upright pieces are
pierced at the corners, and held to-
gether by bows OF narrow ribbon.
BY taking a few stitches the same rib
bons can be attached to the satin
bag to secure il in position.
PEN wipers have had their desira-
bility slightly wiped out by the rage
for fountain pens, but there are still
old-fashioned people who would be
pleased to add them to their desk
furnishings. An admirable one that
will not tax the makers skill is made
of a doll four inches tall, dressed like
n peasant girl, and bearing upon her
back a straw pannier or guide basket,
such as are to be found in toy stores,
which is closely filed with strips of
undressed kid, which is said to be the
best absorber OF ink known. The
strips. which are in many shades, in
clude black, but eschew white, The
tops and backs of old kid gloves will
furnish the strips, which are O third
of an inch wide. packed in very close
ly and sewed securely into the bot
tom OF the basket. They are cut long
enough to project a little above the
top OF the basket. If the feet of the
pannier bearer are glued firmly to n
of the small square boxes that
are used for holding stamps, the desk
convenience will have an additional
value. Some people even now have a
liking for a pretty cushion that is not
large enough to be over conspicuous
in these days when pin trays have SUI
perseded the capacious and time hon
ored pin cushions that till lately alb
sorbed half tine space on a bureau top.
No one could grudge the Don taken
up by a dainty, flower like cushion,
which looks like a large violet hued
pansy dropped upon a nat of lace.
The flower is three inches in diameter,
and worked solidly in satin stitch, in
shadeso OF purple and violet, with little
yellow at the heart. The material
upon which it is worked is all cut
away, and the flower laid upon a
circle formed by gathering up blond
lace edging till it lies smoothly in
that form. The lace is supported by
a pale green silk piece of circular
shape, to which is fastened a full edge
of loops made of pearl edged baby
ribbon of green like the silk, thus
giving a hint of foliage. The cushion
below is a much smaller circle, and
so slightly stuffed as hardly to elevate
the flower and lace above the table it
rests upon.-HdFDer'S Bazaar.

Keep the Mouth Closed.

The following is suggested to snor-
ers:-There are two channels in which
the air travels in going to the lungs.
namely, the nose and mouth. These
two passages unite in a common cav
ity, and from that point there is but
one tube leading to the lungs. There
is a bone called the hard palate, which
forms the roof of the mouth and the
floor of the nose, separating these two
air channels from each other. At the
inner or posterior end of the bone is a
little body called the soft palate, made
of muscle and covered with u delicate
skin. This soft palate is attached
at one end to the hard palate;
the other end hangs loose and
moves or laps in the act OF
breathing. something like a window
curtain when acted on by a current of
air. This is its condition while we
are asleep OF awake, though during
sleep it lacks in tonicity, being much
more relaxed or flabby than when we
are awake. Now, in order to snore,
n must keep the mouth open as
we'll as the nose, and in this condition
the two currents of air passing in and
out together during the act of breath
ing catch this little curtain between
them and throw it into rapid vibra-
ton. This vibration. or less in
tense and sonorous, is what we call
snoring.
1t is only with the mouth open
that snoring can be accomplished
during sleep. Awake if the nose Is
closed by the thumb and finger, by
taking a forcible breath, it is possible
to snore, and the same result may be
accomplished with the mouth shut
and the nose open; but the muscular
effort necessary to its accomplish
ment is more than we can command
during sleep, and would wake up the
person who might unconseiously
