SCARLET AND BLACK.
The COlors by Which Foreigners Indicate
That They Mourn Friends.

The Colors by Which Foreigners Indicate
That They Mourn Friends.
Private mourning in modern times has
been greatly altered and modified to
suit an age of rapid transit and travel.
Men no longer make point of wearing
full black for fixed number of months
after the decease of near relation, and
even content themselves with black
hat-band and dark colored garments.
Funeral ceremonies, too, are less elabo-
rate, although flowers are largely sent
to the grave.
The following are the accepted rea-
sons for the selection of various colors
for mourning in different countries:
Black-Expresses privation of light.
Worn throughout Europe,
Scarlet-Mourning color. Occasion
ally worn by French Kings.
Yellow-The scar and yellow leaf.
Egypt and Burmah In Brittany wild
ows' caps among the peasants are yell
low.
Purple and Violent-To express roy
atty. Mourning for Cardinals and Kings
of France. Violet color mourning for
Turkey.
White-Emblem OF ''white-handed
hope" China.
Deep Blue-Bokhara mourning.
Pale Brown-The withered leaves.
Persia.
Grayish Brown-Earth. Ethiopia and
Abyssinia.
The most curious funeral on record
was that of Inez de Castro-''the Queen
crowned after death"-who was MUIR
dered in the fourteenth century by
three assassins. The lady was the wife
of Portuguese Crown Prince, and she
was murdered by order of the King, her
father-in-law. The Prince never spoke
to his father again, and when the old
man died the remains of Inez were lift
ed from the grave, placed on magnifi-
cent throne, and crowned Queen of Por-
tugal. The clergy, the nobility and the
people did homage to her corpse and
kissed the bones of her hands. There
sat the dead Queen, with her yellow
hair hanging like vail round her

A thick, comfortable letter that

The letter abounds in horrible details
of life among the lepers, and is gro
tesque at times in its hideousness, but
these scenes and descriptions are better
left to the imagination. Since its re-
ceipt the news of the unfortunate mans
death by suicide at the leper hospital
in Honolulu, has been received. His
friends live at Plymouth in this State,
and the leper's letter is going the rounds
among them as valuable mortuary testi-

which the ancient Israelites 3cqueathed

A CHINESE IMPosToR.
How He SwindIed His Native Country {
of Two Millinn DnllRrR.

How He SwindIed His Native Country Out
of Two Million Dollars.
All Chinatown is talking of the ex-
ploits of one of their number. The story,
as it runs, tells of the adventures and
tremendous frauds of Yong Foy boy, a
natural born heather, who has taken
thousands from his countrymen. Orig
inally New Yorker, and clever gam
bier, he accumulated So, 800 and started
on for China. Yong has gone through
a most variegated experience, has bun
coed several large cities out of some
thing like 81. 900, 600, and is now enjoy
ing the excitement of pursuit by the
soldiers of the Emperor, who have in
structions when they find him to cut
him into eighteen pieces.
While on the voyage to China, it is
said, Yong picked up wicked COM
panion who had lived in Chicago, and
they resolved on vigorous campaign of
bunco throughoutahe fiowery kingdom.
The Chicago man acted as valet. They
arrived at Canton, and the valet gave
out the information to some journalist
that Yong was arecently returned COM
missioner mandarin in this country,
where he had been studying the rail-
roads, and was then on his way to Pekin
to make his report.
Yong carried out his part we'll. He
was accepted as Chi Chong Wong, the
King of one of the six imperial boards.
Whatever he wished for he had given
him.
The distinguished Chi Chong Wong,
whom he represented, is the uncle of
the present Emperor, who finds it con-
ducive to his longevity and reputation
to keep within his palace, SO that he is
not known to the outside world except
by reputation.
Through some agency Yong got Chi's
seal forged, and, armed with that and
his own presumption, he began opera
tions on the town of Soon Chu, where
the chefoo or project entertained him
magnifcently!
From Loo Choo, the Paris of China,
he obtained $3.50 900, and from Ly Chu
100000. More than twenty cities paid
tribute to him before the discovery of
the fraud. An immense reward is now
offered for him, but with all the money
at his disposal it is probable that he
made his escape to Canadian. Y.
