CHINESE NOTIONS OF COLOR

Red Peach Paper a Lucky Sign Among
CelestiaIs.
The philosophy Of Chinese house.
painting is truly curious, though per-
haps the interest which attaches tc
this subject lies more in the restrictions
imposed upon the man with the pot
and brush than in the free exercise OF
a decorative art. For among these
Celestials art is eminently u~tilitarian.
We enjoy our c~olors; the Chinese put
theirs to work. More, in house-paint.
ing, green and red are, so to speak, de
rigueur; other colors would be unpro
pitious, unlucky. ill-omened. And even
if tho average Chinaman balancing
himself as best he can upon the super
s~titions and practices of ages is ignor-
ant Of the precise grounds of his belief
he adheres none the less rigidly to the
anon. AS Pythagoras taught that
music was the first of the uni
verse, so the Chinese nave pinned their
faith to the absolute efficacy of color,
endowing it with powers quite beyond
the laws Of chemistry or physics. In
deed, poor John may be said to live and
die by the color scale.

red. True, they do not, as did the He
brews, smear blood On the Intel, but
they have a custom Of much the same
import Anyone yer specifically in

have noticed the little pieces of red pa
per-red peach paper it is called by the
Chinese-which, covered all over with
characters, are attached to the door
posts of their dwellings. The impress.
sion is general that these bits Of paper
in some way indicate the business or
employment of the occupant But All
Sin himself will tell you that they are
Just lucky"
This is as satisfactory a reply as could
be expected from him under the circum-
stances; the mystery of life is not easily
expressed in a couple of words But

Cotton Growing in Southern Russia.

Cotton culture in South Russia. which
was initiated some time ago by the min

promising results. The earlier attempts
failed through the ignorance of the cul-

agriculture took the matter up the prop

Judge Joel Wcston's house was
robbed one night just previous to Dec
Grafton day. What the thieves OBJ
tanned did not amount to much and did
not worry the old judge in the least.
But with his gardener it was different.
The rascals had effected an entrance
through his conservatory, and had evil
IDENTIFY made hurried exit, doing con-
siderable damage TO many choice
plants. The appearance of things in
the morning when the depreciation was
first discovered indicated that, for
some purpose, pure viciousness or
what II was hard TO tell, a lot of
flowers had been taken away, for many
were missing and many were found
strewing the way the burglars had
gone.
Therefore IL was old Sampson, the
irascible old gardener, who was the
most put out at the piece Of villainy.

II the judge did not care particularly
for the flowers his wife and little
daughter did, and were almost heart
broken.
"Oh dear" sobbed the little miss;
land to-day is Decoration day, and so
many beautiful flowers spoiled that
might have been taken TO the ccmc-
terry"
Now, Ethel, perhaps you have
solved the problem" said the Judge;
'it is true you and your mother have
donated every flower in the outdoor
garden, but we may have people here

Judge turned with half chuckle to
his servant

have holes dug for them pretty quick"
grumbled the old man.

A member of Eastern Lodge. No. :, l. o.

statement that at the grand visitation TO
that lodge the condition OF affairs was not
found SO good as at other lodges. I'VE have
done more to relieve the sick and distressed
brothers, and thus spread the spirit of Odd
Fellowship" says the writer, than any
lodge in this jurisdiction. 1t seems very
strange indeed that the grand officers were
SO much pleased that they complimented
us on the affairs of our lodge, yet the indi-
vidual who wrote the article referred to
takes it on himself to contradict the conpli-
ments given by the grand officers and would
have the people of the District TO know his
way rather than that of the grand officers. "
