Dogs as Street. Cleaners.

Next to St. Sophia, Turkey, we have
heard most about the dogs of Constan-
tiuople. When we counted $50 dogs in
an hours drive in Damascus we thought
we could see nothing to surprise ua 10
canine numerals. But Damascus does
not begin to compare with this city, es.
pecially in the old part, as in Stamboul.
At times they lined the street, making it
yellow and furry for two or three rods.
Again, dogs lay stretched, siugly, in
the middle of the street asleep, and car
riages aud foot travellers went out OF
their way to pass them for hours rather
than trouble to move them. Puppies
ran about adj libtum, aud dear little
things they were, too.
These dogs are not fine breed. Their
hair is course and rough, aud their bod
les thick and heavy. But they have
good, mild faces, gentle eyes, and, as
for attacking anyone, it seems never 10
enter their minds. Cats, too, are plenty,
and often is seen a happy family OF
dogs, cats aud chickens sharing the
street nth perfec. good nature The
dogs are the street cleaners. At night,
when refuse is t.,rogn out from the
mouse. they have feasting, aud BY mora
ing nothing but what can be easily car
riei away in baskets or on donkey-bacx
is left. They belong to NOBODY, and
would lead happy and care free life
did they not somehow get many injuries
The no vi ola dog soun is every fev
minutes even in Para, and it Is not rare
to see torn ears, blse ling eyes and
scratched, hairless skin.- Philadelphia

The Chinnse New Yenr.

thirty days. the o'.ss ''smlll," having
oaly tweaty-nine i, :. In some years,
therefore, there AZ. irteen months, one
OF them being an rtsrcalary.
The 1st and 15tn of every month, or
''moon," COMEDIES with the new and full
oil every mooa. aud these are always
celebrated as feast days. But OF all the
Chinese fessts the New Year is regular
ba ,chanalia, in which days before and
weeks after are given to feasting and re-
jocing.
During the last days of the old year
the scene in large city like Canton is
one of intense interest to foreigner.
The merchants hurry hither and thither,
collecting and paying debts-for all ac
counts must be satisfactorily adjusted or
else the business cannot be carried for
ward into the next year. Not only are
the business parts of the town alive with
thronging multitudes during the day,
but at night instead of everything being
promptly closed at o'clock, as is usual,
the midnight pedestrian will find a per-
feet chaos of movables and be1lam OF
voices. Stores are being deluged with
water and the walls are being scrubbed;
ornamental scroll paper and charms of
good luck are being torn down; the tiled
floor Is getting its annual but probably
only cleaning it has had during the year.
After this is done the walls are redecu-
rated aud new charms aud gods are
pasted up or set ia the windows and
show cases.
In private houses the same cleaning
process is going on; all the dirt of the
year is being removed. When this is
done the finest ornaments that are pos
sessed are brought out and displayed on
the tables; embroidered covers are placed
on the chairs and stands, and the whole
house is put in holiday attire. One Of
the great features of tho decorations is
the display of "sacred lilies" 1t is de.
sirable that they should bloom on New
Years day, and the more flowers on the
plant the better will be the fortune of
the family owning it during the year to
come
Up to midnight on New Years eve
this excitement continues; then, as if by
magic, the noise and turmoil cease, only
to be renewed in the morning with re.
doubled energy. This, in short, is the
