The laws of health are taught in the
schools, but not in a way to he of much
practical benefit and are never illus
trated by living examples, which in
many cases might easily be done. II
some scholar who has just contracted a
cold was brought before the school so
that all could hear the dry, loud cough
and see its significance; see the thin
white coating on the tongue and later,
as the cold developed, see the profuse
watery expectoration and thin watery
discharge from the nose, not one OF
them would ever forget what the first
symptoms of cold were. The scholar
should then be given Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy freely, that
all might see that even a severe cold
could be cured in one or two days, OF
at least greatly mitigated, when prop
erly treated rs soon as the first symp-
toms appear. This remedy is famous
for its cures of coughs, colds and Group.
1t is made especially for these diseases
and is the most prompt and most reli-
able medicine known for the purpose

The custom of giving presents, and
particularly that of exchanging New
Year calls, is essentially Chinese. The
coincidence of these two rather pc
culiar acts of brOtherly love coexisting
in Holland and Scotland should furnish
cause for thought. 1t is little singu-
lar, certainly, that the Chinese, who are
not an over charitable or forgiving
race, should enjoin the forgiveness
of all debts at the beginning of the new
year.
1t is an amusing spectacle in China
town to see the creditor mercilessly
hunting down the debtor during the
few days that remain. No one is ex-
empt from this necessity, for in order
to pay his own debts he must i'm turn
collect what is due to him. The debtor
who can not fulfil his obligations by
New ear goes into bankruptcy by the
operations of a custom stronger than
law. He undoubtedly earns the con-
tempt of his fellowmen, but at least he
is free from their persecution. His
debts are forgiven with quite as much
sincerity as could be expected under
the circumstances.
Besides the painful phase of Chinese
yuletide, there are other preparations
To be made for the fitting celebration
of the great three-day festival, begin
ming with the first day of the first
month. The red peach paper which
has been removed from the doorway
must be replaced, and therefore about
this time the professional letter-writer
of the Chinese quarter takes his station
on the street corner and is busily en-
ployed in writing sentences of good
omen. Naturally some OF these gen.
tlemen are more popular than others,
a letter-writer who claims to
have passed one of the inferior civil
service examinations, or who at one
time has been connected with a fash
ionable joss house, being more i'm de-
mand than he who has picked up his
smattering 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 trifling fee they are stamp
ed with the seal of the joss. Certainly
it 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 spiris
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 spasmodic effort is
inevitably followed by reactions unfa-
vorable to true spiritual development
is fully born out by the history of the
Chinese people, From "A New Light
on the Chinese" by II. BURDEN Nc
DowELL,in Harper's Magazine for De-
cember.
