The Chinsman's Purchase.

The Chinese are not supposed to have
much talent or liking for humor, but a
little story related By the author Of
Three Years in Western China" shows
that they are not altogether deficient IN
that respect:
Several Of my followers were opium
smokers, and one Of my bearers had con-
tracted great craving for the drug. He
was somewhat disreputable in appear
ance, but willing worker. His bag
gage consisted of the clothes on ms back
and small bundle containing his opium
pipe and the necessary paraphernalia for
smoking.
On leaving certain village noticed
that the bundle had assumed larger d.
mansions, but my speculations as 10 its
contents proved TO be wide Of the mark.
A few miles to the west of Yang-lin q
halt was called for rest. and the cakes on
the roadside stall were quickly bought
and devoured. The opium smoker.
meanwhile, sat apart ON the edge OF the
stone road.
How is il that YOU are all eating and
drinking, said he 10 one Of his comrades.
land / haven't a single cash to follow
your example?'
The other man put his thumb 70 his
mouth, and pretending TO inhale, pro-
nounced the single word, Opium" at
which the smoker SMILED and was silent.
On the following day we were sud
denly oyertaken bv q sharp rain storm.
and when the other bearers were search
ing for shelter the smoker solemnly PRO-
duoed his bundle, gravely undid the
cover, and proceeded 10 unfold and put
on a first class waterproof coat which he
had wisely purchased in the village TO
which we have referred The astonish-
ment on the other mems faces and the

to the races merely to pass the time, and
her opposite, who is infected with the
microbe Of gaming, and whose eyes, gilt
tering with excitement, proclaim her a
chronic gambler. The latter usually pre-
sents an untidy appearance. for she has
sacrificed vanity upon the altar of specula-
ton. On the grand stand the student of
physiognomy is afforded magnificent scope
for observation Prominent Is a middle
aged woman with a double chin. She is
inquiring the odds Of a messenger, and
finally gives him five dollars to put on
Flap Jack for place.
Her reason for selecting this particular
horse is perhaps because she ate griddle
cakes for breakfast. If the horse wins she
will be confirmed in her superstition.
Close beside her is a young woman in
tailor made costume, who persists in
climbing upon her seat and obstructing
the view Of those behind her. She uses her
own discretion in betting, and sometimes
catches short horse-that is to say, one
with long odds against it. She is plunger
by day, and at night does a high kicking
act In burlesqUe attraction. Her de-
meanor is sedate and conservative, except
when she strikes winner, when she be-
comes excited and shouts at the top of her
voice.

Election Day In Greece.


Election day is an exciting one in
Greece. The last one was especially so
in Athens. The people were to vote for
members Of parliament. The election
occurs every four years. For week
previous to the polling all the men and
boys were parading the streets, headed
by band. The Greeks are blessed with
most powerful lungs, and their shouts Of
Viva fairly drowned the braying of
the donkeys. The interest was so in
tense that the young children shared it,
and an American lady, passing a mite
of boy" on the street, who was escort
ing a little girl home from school, gal
lantly carrying her books. heard him
ask her if she had vote!
The voting takes place in the churches
on Sunday, consequently the customary
service is dispensed with. In the church
ceeded in finding access there were
ranged round the church forty-two
boxes, that being the number Of the
candidates.
These boxes were something the shape
of a tea box. one half painted white,
with Yes" on it, and the other half
black, with mo" on it.
Tin tubes projected from the front
outward. Looking through these tubes
one could see that the boxes We're divided
into two compartments Beside each
box stood representative of the candi-
date, and over the box appeared the
candidates picture. Each voter. as he
entered the church, had his name and
address registered, and a check given
him. The above mentioned representa-
tive then gave the voter bullet, or
vote, made of lead.
Formerly the dishonest voter would
slip another bullet up his coat sleeve,
and as he raised his arm to the tube the
bullet would roll down, and two votes
instead of one be cast; but the repre-
sentative now watches to prevent cheat
ing Negative votes as well as affirma-
tive must also be cast; that is, if a voter
objects to a candidate. he must cast a
negative bullet The voter, of course,
casts one vote at each box, or forty-two
in au.-COr. Youths Companion.

Salvation Army and the Crusade.

1t is obvious that il we would find any
analogy for the growth and force of this
movement Of the Salvation Army, we
must go back to the enthusiasm exerted
by the preaching of the Crusades, to the
work of Francis and Dominic in founding
the nendicant orders, to the Protestant
Reformation, to the preaching of George
Fox, or to the growth of Wesleyanisln
at the close of the last century. Further,
no attentive student of early church
history can fail to see many striking
points Of analogy between the methods
adopted and the results achieved by the
Salvation Army and those which aston
ished and disguised the pagan world in
the rapid success attained by the early
missionaries of the Christian church.

Is advisable TO remain at table without
moving about for at least half an hour,

With Louis XIV the hour of dinner had
already been put back to p. m, and he
took MS supper as late rs 10 p. m. But
This hour was shortly afterward rejected,
and O'Clock supper was instituted, be-

And Britain ought TO know;
To Thomas Britton, "small-coal man."
All Britain thanks does owe.
In 1910 there was to be seen in many Lon
don streets a very remarkable man. He
carried bag over his shoulder, a measure
in his hand, and cried out Small coal for
sale" in so musical voice that he not only
appeared different to all other traders of
the same calling. but he attracted passers-
by by his peculiarities. He would stop at
every bookstall on his way, and at once
purchase every book of rare quality. Gen
5 tlemen of position and standing would
stop to speak with him. If you had in

ing and superior musician, the friend of
some Of the best known people of the day.
We may ask, at a glance at the above
rhyme, why does the United Kingdom owe
Britton thanks. Surely not for selling
Goals. Because Thomas Britton was the
founder of modern concerts. Now let u
follow him, when his days work is done,
10 mis- little coal shed, and small house by
the side Of it, in Clerkenwell. Very soon
all signs of his calling have gone, and in an
hour or 50 ff3ends begin to arrive. Mean
while, what's he doing? Opening music
sheets and tuning up his violin. Now look
at his friends. Listen TO that stout man,
speaking our language with difficulty; that
is the great Handel. Near him a celebrated
painter, WOollaston, and by his side Hughes,
the poet. Who is this entering the small
room to be a guest of the small-coal mans
1t is the famous Duchess of Queensbury,
come to enjoy sweet music. These gather
ings began in 1913 and continued until
Britton's sad and cruel death. Britton's
guests must have been devoted admirers Of
music, for we read, his concert room was
situated at the corner of a passage in Ayles-
bury street, Clerkenwell Green, and could
only be reached by stairs from the outside
of the house. But these true lovers Of
pleasant sounds thought that the end well
made up for the troublesome journey.
Poor musical small-coal man, his end
happened thus. A friend, for the sake of
a practical joke, introduced a ventriloquist
at one of the meetings, who made his voice
appear to proceed from heaven, calling
upon Britton to prepare for immediate
death and to repeat the Lords PRAYER"
This, through superstitious fear, he did,
went home and died. But from his small
room birth was given TO concerts, to the
opening Of sundry music shops, and the
institution Of the Academy of Ancient Con
ceTtS.
