NEW YEARS GIFTS IN CHINA.
The Custom Is National and Not borrowed
from Civilization.
HI Il Mcdowell In Haruerss

The Custom Is National and Not borrowed
from Civilization.
H. B Mcdowell. in Harper's.
The custom OF giving presents, and par
ticnlarly that of ~xchanaing New. iear
calls. is essentially Chinese. The coinci-
dence of these two rather peculiar acts of
brotberly love co-existiDg In Holland and
Scotland should furnish cause for thought.
IL IS "a little singular. certainly, that the
Chinese, who are not an over-charitable or
forgiving race, should enjoin the forgive
ness of all debts at the beginning OF the
new year.
It is an amusing spectacle in Chinatown
to see the creditor mercileesly hunting
down the debtor during the few days that
remain No one Is exempt from this neces-
sity, for in order to pay his own debts he
must in turn collect what Is due TO him.
The debtor who esnnot fulfill his obliga-
tions by New Year goes into bankruptcy
by the operations of O custom stronger
than law. He undoubtedly earns the con-
tempt of his fellow-men, but at least he is
free from their persecution. His debts are
forgiven, with quite as much sincerity as
could oe expected under the circumstances.
Besides this painful phase of Chinese
yuletide. there are other preparations To be
made for the fitting celebration of the
great three-day festival, beginning with
the first day of the first month. The red
peach paper which has been removed from
the doorway must be replaced. and there
fore about this time the professional letter
writer of the Chinese quarter takes his sta
ton on the street corner, and Is buslly en-
ployed in writing sentences OF good omen.
Naturally some of these gentlemen are
more popular than others, q letter-wrlter
VINO claims TO have passed one of the in
ferior civil-service examinations. or who
at one time has been connected with a fast
ionable ~joss-hOuse. being more in demand
than he who has picked MP his smatterlng
of knowledge at school. or by what is an
important factor In Chinese education,
self-help. :
1t Is quite customary. also. to bring these
red paper slips to the joss house, where for
a tritiing fee they are stamped with the seal
OF the joss. Certainly 1t is worth taking
some trouble with a little piece OF paper
which Is to do duty for an entire year; for
as soon as the slips have been prepared and
stamped. they are glued to the doOr-posts,
against the time when the evil spirits shall
return and make the last state OF the man
worse than the first. The moral which the
Savior pointed out to His disciples that
spasinodic effort is inevitably followed by
reactions unfav0rable 10 trne spiritual de-
velopment is fully borne out by the history
of the Chinese people.

One of the Most Famous of. the Historic
rhoroughfares of Paris.
London Telegraph.
One of the most interesting and historic
streets of Paris, the Rue Denfert-R ocher-
eau, formerly Rue d'Enfer, is being Quilted
at the present moment for the tunnel which
is to unite the Sceaux railway with the
new station In the Rue Gay-Lassac, near
the Luxembourg gardens. In the days of
the Romans the place might have been
called Tombstone avenue. OF Corpse road,
for many bodies were buried there. Only
containing bones. and Gall0-Roman
funeral - urns. were discovered
during some excavations made at
the three-crOss roads formed by the Rue
d'Enfer, the Boulevard Montparnasse and
the Boulevard ST. Michel. In another spot
close by a collection of urns of the same
kind were dug up and sent to the Carna-
valet museum.
After the decline of paQanism the Chris
tians regarded the locality as haunted, and
Michel. the determined and uncomfortable
opponent of Satan. The name of the chief
street, however. renamed unchanged, and,
down to our own time, retained it's diabol-
zeal appeliation. Here was reared the
Hotel Vauvert, once supposed to be the
demons country house, and hence the old
saying. "AIlez au Disble Vert" or Diable
Vauvert! Saint" Louis, however. handed
the hotel over to Carthuslan monks, and q
part of the wall of their convent now
serves to inclose that notorious haunt
of students and modern grisettcs
known as the BAL" CT 'Jsrdin Bullier.D
Later still there stood In the locality
q place called the Maison Madite. where
it W as said Marshal Ney's body was carried
after his execution. The tenants OF this
mansion showed a remarkable tendency to
die of, popular superstition ascrlbing the
mortality to supernatural Influences. when
it was probably caused by bad drainage.
The whole quarter. in fact. is rich in legend
and folklore. Many suppose that il stiIl
contains interesting relics of the past. and
archaeological enthusiasts are accordingly
entreating the city authorities to order the
excavators to go gently with their work in
Rue d'Enfer. The navvIes. however. will
have TO hurry on. as the railway company
is waiting. and they can scarcely afford to
waste time over examining old pot. pan
