The Chinaman's Purchase.

The Chinese are not supposed to have
much talent or liking for humor, but q
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 a great craving for the drug. He
was somewhat disreputable in appear
ance, but a willing worker. His bag
gage consisted of the clothes on his 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 di-
mensions, but my speculations as to its
contents proved to be wide of the mark.
A few miles to the west Of Yang-lin
halt was called for rest, and the cakes on
the roadside stall woro quickly bought
and devoured. The opium smoker,
meanwhile, sat apart on the edge of the
stone road.
hOW 40 ~ Lhoo } va al . OIL OdbIllS d1u
drinking, said he to one of his comrades,
"and | haven't single cash to follow
your example?"
The other man put his thumb to 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 overtaken by sharp rain storm,
and when the other bearers were search.
ing for shelter the smoker solemnly pro-
duced his bundle, gravely undid the
cover, and proceeded to unfold and put
on 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
look of triumph in which the smoker
indulged were a study.

Fluids for Reducing Weight.

In most of the treatise upon corpulency
it is advised that the quantity of fluids of
all kinds be reduced to the lowest degree
consistent with comfort. Corpulent peo-
pie influenced by this are quite apt to carry
the restriction too far. A certain quantity
of water is essential to life and health, and
sure to result A safe rule when trying to
take off fat is to drink at least half a pint of
water as hot as possible in the morning on
getting out of bed, and another just before
retiring at night. This quantity, with
what is taken with the meals, will be quite
enough to meet natures requirements.
AS for fluids between meals, very little
of them will be needed if the diet is prop
erly restricted and the overworked diges-
tive organs are favored. Just as soon as
their burdens are lightened they will grow
stronger, and with the renewal in strength
the intense thirst will disappear. Weak
tea, on account of the hot water, is recon-
mended with the meals. As for wines,
corpulent people are better off without
them; of all kinds, probably good claret is
the least Objectionable.
The diet to which corpulent people usu-
ally restrict themselves is one which rather
favors sluggishness of the bowels; there
fore mild laxative is generally needed, at
least for time. Considering the dyspep-
sia and bilious tendency which are so init
mately related to corpulency, the Carlsbad
salts suggest themselves as serviceable
remedy The imported comes in small
bottles, which sell at retail for about sew
enty-five cents. One teaSpoonful in glass
of hot water is quite enough for dose, and
it can safely be repeated every morning for
several weeks.-Boston Herald.

A Very Clnsa Call.

A tall, squarely built and athletic man
of thirty-five or thereabouts walked into
the California hotel and registered John
Kelly, Jr., Bodie." Heis superintendent
of the Bulwer, Bodie and Mono mines,
located at Bodie, and he became involved
in dispute with miner named j. G.
Grant. The result was that the two
men met on the street in Bodie, and
when within a few feet of each other
Grant drew 45-caliber revolver, and
without warning fired point blank at
Kelly. The latter threw up his left arm,
and as he did so the bullet passed down
the inside of his coat sleeve without
scratching the skin and made its exit at
the elbow.
They then clinched, but Grant kept
firing, and the second shot struck the
collar button in the back of Kellys shirt,
carried it away and plowed up the lining
of his coat without doing other damage.
The third and fourth shots went through
Kelly's coat, which was unbuttoned, but
the fifth struck him in the chin. When
it struck the bone, however, it was de-
hected, and, after tearing its way along
the jaw, came out just in front of the
ear. Kelly then wrenched the pistol
from the others hand and with it beat
him into insensibility. The former keeps
the coat and shirt that he wore at the
time as memento Of his marvellous es-
eape.-San Francisco Call.

Election Day in oreece.

Election day Is an exciting one In
Greece. The last one was especially 80
in Athens. The people were to vote for
members of parliament The election
occurs every four years For a 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
"Vival" 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
to which an American gentleman sue
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 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 were 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 check given
him. The above mentioned represents
tive then gave the voter a bullet, OF
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 voter
objects to a candidate, he must cast {

casts one vote at each box, or forty-twt

Monkeys That Fight with Stones.

The Gelada balloons sometimes have
battles with the Hamadryads, especially
when the two species have mind to rob
the same field, and if fighting in the hills,
will roll stones on to their enemies. Not
long ago a colony of Gelada balloons,
which had been fired at by some black
soldiers attending a duke of Coburg-
Gotha on hunting expedition on the
borders of Abyssinia, blocked pass for
some days by rolling rocks on all comers.
This seems to givo some support to Gu
rious objection raised by Chinese local
governor in report to his superior on
the difficulties in the way of opening
to steamers the waters of the upper
Yang-tse. The report, after noting that
the inhabitants on the upper waters were
ignorent men who might quarrel with
strangers, went on TO allege that mon
keys, which inhabited the banks, would
roll down stones on the steamers. "The
two last facts" the report added,
"would lead to complaint from the En-
glish and embroil the Celestials with
them, especially if the men or the mon
keys kill any English. Spectator.

Accidental Education.

Growth often takes place in unexpected
ways, or does not take place when we
should expect it. The order of develop
ment is less rigid and more variable than
is sometimes supposed. If this were not
the case there would be more difference
than there is at present between child
educated in kindergarten and one edu-
Gated in a well ordered home In the
home the objects present themselves to the
child without any fixed order-he tumbles
into knowledge, and this want of system
is not without its advantages, seeing that
we cannot make our systems perfect.
Even if a definite system be pursued
some time and opportunity must be given
at all stages of education for this chance
development. In home where child is
allowed, under the care of some educated
person, to investigate the objects around
him, and the natural and artificial processes
which are conducted in the house and its
surroundings, much healthy development
may take place without any fixed system.
But life which is limited to the nursery,
with artificial playthings and daily walk
by the side of perambulator, is eminently
unsatisfactory. An ignorant nurse has no
idea of the kind of sympathy and help a
child requires. Even when she is fond of
him she interrupts the workings of his
mind with rude laughter. She does not
understand how to speak the truth, though
if convenient she will stigmatize an unin-
territorial misstatement as lie.
She will capriciously surround him with
| yexatious restrictions, yet will develop
| self consciousness and selfshness by fiat

and healthy play whenever he can elude

salvation Armv and the Crusades.

1t is obvious that if 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 mendicant orders, to the Protestant
Reformation, to the preaching of George
Fox, or to the growth of Wesleyanism
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,

The First Horse Car.

1t was in 1881 that l devised the first
street car, or omnibus, as it was then
called. This car was composed of an ex-
tension to coach body, with seats
lengthwise instead Of crosswise. On the
outside of the vehicle was printed "Om-
nibus," in large letters. People would
stand and look at this word and wonder
what it meant. "Who is Mr.. Omnibus"
many of them would inquire. l had a
shop of my own at this time, and there
I built the first horse car. twas run for
the first time in 1882, from Prince street,
in the Bowery, to Fourteenth street.
This car had three compartments of ten
seats each, entrance being had from the
sides. On the top there were also three
rows of seats, facing back and front,
seating thirty persons.-John Stephen
