this purpose. There is, however, no
longer any weaving of silk in all the
region. The only article manufac-

the finest and strongest quality, and
are in great demand in Savannah.
Some of the silk goods manufac-

A Collection of Lamns.

A large and rare collection Of
lamps in the National museum afford
instruction and pleasure. Here, with
the stamp of age upon them, are
small, flat and oval hand lamps, with
wicks at the spout ends, from Leros
Ephesus, Carpathos, Island of Coos
Pompeii, Rome and ancient Thebes
With these is o sepulchral lamp
about the size and shape of an ordi
nary clam shell, which shed its dim
light in a tomb at Bai@, Italy, and
more interesting is u bronze model
of one that was used by the early
Christians in the catacombs of Rome
while hiding from their prosecutors,
This little lamp weighs about three
pounds and is shaped like half a pear,
having at the wick end seven points
of star and at the other end an up
right cross surmounted by a dove.
Close to these relics of antiquity a
Chinese opium smokers lamp re-
minds us of the horrors of the opium
joint.
The body of this 'ignus fatuus' is
circular brass drum, six inches
high, converging to a dome, into
which the wick tube is secured
Brass tiligree work surrounds the
top, and surmormting this is a cut
glass dome, with a fiat apex contain
ing hole for draft. To this hole the
smoker applies the pipe, and with u
long drawn breath the smoke is
taken into the lungs. Mechanical

Caught the wrong Indian.

One of our merchant princes had a
peculiar and laughable experience
awhile ago which will bear publicity
1t must be understood that the gen
tleman in question employs a large
number of boys, who are compelled
to eat their lunch in the basement of
the establishment. At this time, too,
they were in the habit of playing
Texas Jack, Indians, ETC., inspired
to this no doubt by the perusing of
dime novels. One day the proprietor
had occasion to visit the lunchroom
during dinner hour, and unconscious
Of anything was making his way
through dimly lighted part Of the
room when he was suddenly seized
from behind.
Being a small man he could do
nothing with his assailant, who, prod
ding him in the ribs with a wooden
bowie knife. hissed in his ear, II
have sworn TO avenge the wrong
you did me, so die, die like a dog,
and thank your lucky stars you are
not killed morep
Thinking himself in the hands Of
mailman the proprietor, with q
strenuous effort, released himself
and turned to flee, when, catching a
glimpse of his would be murderer @,
saw it was one of the cash boys, who,
on seeing his terrible mistake, tried
to stammer an apology, expecting to
be dismissed on the spot. The pro-
prietor, however, only gave him a
lecture and advised him to refrain
from reading blood curdling htera-
ture. There is no more Indian play

dialects Of CHINA.


It is true that the inhabitants ol
Picking, Canton, Shanghai, Fuswa
and Annoy speak Chinese. But as
to other parts Of the country, it is
also true that a citizen Of the places
named cannot understand the inhab-
itants any more easily than can a
Berliner an Englishman, or a Pari-
sian Dutchman. Thus the posi-
ton of the Chinaman in his own
country, where various so called dia-
lects are spoken, is rather peculiar
The Chinese dialects have nothing
in common with the patois, or con-
versational forms of language. They
are used by the highest and lowest
classes the savants and uneducated,
the officials and the coolies. The
dialect is a language by itself. The
various dialect forms, it is true, are
related to one another in somewhat
the same manner as the Arabic to
tho Hebrew, Syrian and other Sc
mitic tongues, or German to English,
Dutch, Danish, Swedish, etc.
If it is desirable to classify the nu.
merous dialects they may be divided
into the Canton, Hakka, Annoy, Swa-
tow, Shanghai, Ningho, the Hainan-
ese and the Mandarin. The young
est of these dialects is the Mandarin.
Mandarin, contrary to the general
impression. is not the universal Ian
guage of China. The Canton tongue
resembles the ancient Chinese spoken
5000 years ago more closely than the
Mandarin. The HalSka shows also
traces of great antiquity. 1t is much
older than the Mandarin, almost
equaling in point of age the Canton
tongue, or Cantonese. The same
thing may be said of the Swatow,
Annoy and Shanghai dialects. In
general we may say that the Ian
guages spoken in southeastern China
show traces of the ancient Chinese
tongue, while the Mandarin tongue

A Dreadful Mistake.

"But am not dead, / assure you p
Such was the cry of an unfortunate
man lying on the bed of sickness on
beholding couple of unde1takers
assistants enter his chamber with a
coffin, which they deposited on the
floor. He was suffering from a severe
chill and was very feverish and out
Of sorts, and the unexpected appear
ance of the croquemorts with their
lugubrious burden was scarcely cal
cl,lated to exercise an exhilarating
effect on his spirits. The two men,
who were out of breath with their
exertions, and had not time to glance
round the room, started back in
alright as they saw what they i'm
agined to be the corpse raising itself
in the bed and with wild gesticula-
tions bidding them to depart. They
were about to beat a hasty retreat,
leaving the coffin behind them, with
the conviction that they had had an
interview with q ghost, when the in
valid's wife rushed in.
''Is nobody dead hereG" asked one
of the undertaker's assistants, pluck
ing up courage at the arrival of the
lady, respecting whose claims to be
classed among tho living not
shadow Of doubt could be enter
tanned for a moment, as she was
manifestly in the enjoyment of the
most robust health. Nothing of
the kind. Where in the world do
you think you area" was the prompt
reply of the buxom dame. "At &c."
answered the bewildered croque-
mort. why, don't you know this
is 35l" said the lady Indignantly.
The two men took up the coffin,
and with many apologies left the
scene of this very unpleasant adven.
ture as fast as their legs could carry
them. Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
