CHINESE SOLDIERS. PAY.

They Are Given Pure silver Instead OF
Cow, Into Which They Afterwards
Change It
The Chinese soldier receives his paw
once a month only, and Chinese months,
1t may be remembered, are much larger
than those we are accustomed to
reckon by. On the eve of the pay day
the captain of the company, together
with his sergeant-major. goes and re-
eeives the amount of money requisite to
pay his company from his next superior
officer.
This is not paid to him in jingling
coins, but in pure silver, which, how
ever, has been broken into somewhat
irregular pieces The whole of the
night preceding payday is occupied in
weighing out for each man the required
quantity of silver. and this occupation,
as may be imagined, is very tedious
one, and only successfully accomplished
by infinite care, for here a piece the
size of pins head has to be clipped
off, and there q piece of larger dimen-
sion has 10 be added to make up weight,
and any deviation one way or the other
means the loss of perhaps days pay
or more to some poor defender of the
celestial empire.
When the process of melting out is "a
complished the silver is carefully
wrapped in paper, upon which is writ
ten the name of the intended recipient.
On the following afternoon the com
pany is mustered, and the sergeant
major divides the money, commencing
with the first man in the company and
going to the last When this division
is concluded the question is asked in
stentorian tones: HAS any one else
claim?' and the customary No" having
been promptly given, the men are then
dismissed.
Each one now repairs to the nearest
BRIDESMAIDS shop, where ne exchanges
his silver. For one tael he receives 900
small coins called cash, perforated in
the center so as to allow of being
threaded on a string, and, having re-
ceived the proper amount, turns home
ward with cheerful mien, but nearly
sinking beneath his burden.
The private receives three and half
taels. equal to about nineteen shillings
monthly, out of which he has to pro-
vide himself with clothes and food
But he lives on rice and his clothes cost
but trifie-Chicago Dispatch.

According to Archbishop Katzer, the

Christian Endeavor.

"The Christian Endeavor move
ment is promoting n spirit of coop
eration," says John Willis Baer in
the June New England Magazine.
''It does not detract from the loyal
ty of the local church; but it is max
ing it plain that no denomination
has a monopoly of the spirit Of God,
and is keeping the churches from gen
Grating into narrow, suspicious, and
fraternla sectarianism.
THE possibilities along the lines
of moral reform resulting from the
influences of the Christian Endeavor
movement are of the utmost import
ance, as shown 10y the vigorous work
against saloon politics, liquor sell
ing, Sunday disorders, and other
evils which have already been sue
cessfully undertaken under the Chris
tian Endeavor flag. The movement
is i'm every way widening the.horizon,
broadening the outlook, and,quicken-
ing the spiritual life of the churches,
and il is turningin aconstant stream
of new life into the ranks of every
moral reform. IL appeals to what Is
positive and regenerating in the
heart of every honest man and wom-
an in the churches and in all the
land"
