The Chinaman's yellow Oath"

One of the strangest judicial proceed
ings perhaps ever witnessed ID that or
the Chinaman taking what he is pleased
to call the yellow oath" The oath
or declaration is always written on a
piece of sacred paper, and Is as fol-
lows:
This is to call the spirits, both good
and evil, to descend and watch over the
trial Of --,w who is charged with
numbering --. If L swear falsely
and tell one untruth, or do not make
statements according to the facts in the
case, | humbly beg the celestial terres-
trial spirits to redress the wrong done to
-- and to punish me Immediately
for having been a false witness; to ar.
rest my soul in its fight; to make ME
perish by the sword, or to cause me to
die while on the sea far from home.
This is my true and solemn oath, uttered
by my own lips, and signed by me this,
the - day of the - month in the
- year of the reign of the Emperor
--; and in proof Of the earnestness
Of my declarations, may my soul be de-
stroyed as l now destroy this paper-by
fire" Immediately after the witness
finishes reading his yellow oath" a
lighted candle is handed to him, and the
paper is given as food for the flames.
To the writer's certain knowledge this
form of oath has been administered but

was much interested one day in the
actions of a goldfish in an aquarium.
The fish was resting quietly within a
few inches of the surface. when it sud
denly elected a fish scale from its
mouth.
As the scale was slowly sinking. the
fish suddenly darted downward, drew
the scale into its mouth and rose toward
the surface, where it remained motion
less for several moments. The whole
performance was repeated several times.
Whatever may have been the exact
motive which prompted these actions on
the part Of the fish, we may fairly con-
clude that the object was recreation.-

Women at the Front in Chicago.

The women Of Chicago have a taste
for cooperation which has made them
the most successful and noticeable
women in the world, considered from
commercial, political and benevolent
points of view. They are forever sur
prising their city with something new,
Now they turn out and personally clean
the streets; now they get on the board
Of educatlOn; now they establish public
baths for the unwashed: now start free
klndergartenS for the poor; now they
build summer houses for the little chill
dren of the tenements and the Sums;
now put women physicians in the hos
pitfalls, the insane asylums and the police
stations; now build hospitals, secure
women factory inspectors, investigate
the schools or make appeals for votes in
educational matters.
And whatever they do seems to sue
coed. They have almost no abortive at
tempts. They have even been known to
put artistic ventures on their feet and
sustain them-One of the most difficult
things imaginable in the west. Their
latest experiment has been to start a CO.
operative baking company. 1t is the
chief law of the company that no one
but wOmen shall touch the loaves from
the time they are dough till they are de-
livered into the hands of the purchasers.
Women will make the bread, solicit for
trade. attend the counter and deliver in
the five fine wagons purchased for the
purpose. All of the stock is held by
women.-Omaha World-Herald.

A Strange F~easting Custom.

There was a strange custom in the Isle
Of Lewis. when the people used to gather
to the church of St. Mulvay at night.

each family furnishing a peck Of malt,
which was brewed into ale. One who was
chosen for the purpose waded into the
sea up tohis middle and poured out a cup
Of ale, calling on a sea god called Shonv
TO favor the people through the coming
year. The people. after seeing the cere-
mony performed. returned to the church.
and then went to the fields to spend the
rest of the night in revelry.-New York

A Practical Illustration.

Uncle Silas was the best posted man
on general topics in the village, and a
hunter of renOwn as we'll. He also had
temper that Oma had! She was the
only thing on earth of which Uncle
Silas was afraid.
One day a class of school children
called on the old man. They were sent
by their teacher to get some facts in
natural history.
We've come" said the spokesman OF
the class, 'to ask you some questions,
Uncle Silas, about the habits and GUS
toms of the wildcat"
Uncle Silas had been very glad to see
them, as the broad smile on his face
testified. But now he looked very much
alarmed.
''H-u-s-h!' he said, with a cautious
gesture; "whO on arth sent We here on
such a errand:"
Miss Knowles, u teacher" said the
class in concert.
WAL, she Oughter know better. l
amt never he'd anythin to say about
them thar critters sence-Oh, LOrdy,
thar she comes"
And Uncle Silas lit out as a tall wom-
an armed with a broom lit in.
"Think yer smart, do ye?" she scream
ed. "Wanter know about wildcats,
hey? Got up a joke on the ole man, but
III teach We to joke on fac's. Take that
home for yer pains"
Whack, whack, went the broom, and
it did not fail in its aim, as two of the
boys who were the last to get out could
easily prOve.-Detroit Free Press.

The Clever Bheel Robbers.

It is said that once, before the English
had become used to the maneuvers of
the robbers in India, an officer with d
party of horse was chasing a small body
of Bheel robbers and was fast overtak-
ing them. Suddenly the robbers a be-
hind a rock, or some such obstacle, which
hid them for a moment, and when the
soldiers came up the men had mysteri-
ously disappeared. After an ~unavailing
search, the officer ordered his men to
dismOunt beside a clump of scorched
and withered trees, and, the day being
very hot, he took off his helmet and hung
it on a branch by which he was standing.
The branch in question turned out to
be the leg of a Bheel, who burst into a
scream of laughter and flung the aston
ished officer to the ground. The clump
of scOrched trees suddenly became trans
formed into men, and the whole party
dispersed in different directions before
the Englishmen could recover from
their surprise, carrying with them the
officers helmet by way of trophy.-Har-
per's Young People.

Dentistry.

THE japanese use no instrument for
extracting teeth, but lift them out with
the thumb and foretinger," said Henry
Baker to a guest of the Southern, who
was wearing his jaw in a sling as the re-
suit of a pair of fOrceps slipping and
getting more than they were sent for.
while jolly Dick Hubbard was min
lister to Japan | visited that country and
spent a pleasant week with him. One
day | was troubled with the toothache,
and Mr.. Hubbard took me to a dentist
and explained to the saddle colored
operator that wanted the grinder ex-
tracted. l was placed in a bamboo chair
and tilted slightly back. The dentist
examined my teeth, talking volubly
meanwhile to Uncle Sans representa-
tive. Suddenly his thumb and fOrefnger
closed on the troublesome tooth, and
before | had the f~aintest idea of what
was going to happen he lifted it out and
held it up before me, smiling at the

TWO BIG CLAIMS.
Judgments against the United States
for Nearly Two Millions.

The Washington Post says: The court
of claims rendered two judgments yester-
day against the United States. The first
was in the case of the Southern Pacific
company, which claimed and was
awarded $1,824,OOO for transportation
for the postoffice and war departments.
There was no controversy as to the
amounts, that having been conceded by
the departments for whom the services
were rendered. The only question in
volved was whether the amounts could
be recovered by this company or some
other companies.
The other case was that of John S.
Snowden, who claimed $11S,327 for
building the river and harbor monitor
Mamayunk during the wal of the rebel
lion, and whose claim is confirmed by
yesterdays decision.

she says, she is aware that generations Of

Already Miss Howard knows of a
young woman artist, a descendant of an
African king, who had three beauti-

Buffalo. One of these she will ask her

WHAT KATE FIELD THINKS ABOUT
GIRLS IN PARADES.

The Home in Politics-Women at the

ard-The Fad to Be Picturesque-In-
teresting Items About Woman.
What Ideplored in New York's school
parade was the absence of girls. You'd
have thought that girls did not exist, or,
if existing. were no factor in the future
OF this republic. / didn't like this ig-
nOring of my sex, and when some n
argued that girls could not endure the
fatigue Of marching five miles | replied
that girls who were unequal to a five
mile walk were physically unable to
breathe the bad air of public schools and
to endure the strain Of recitations ten
months in the year. Girls who can skip
rope and dance all night can walk a few
hours if they choose. The Indian girls
from Carlisle had no trouble in march
ing.
Well, Brooklyn agreed with me last
week when $4,000 boys and girls covered
themselves and their town with glory.
AS in New York, it was first decided to
leave out the girls. "Girls can't march
a little Bit" said the boys, forgetting
that all the marching on the stage now
adays is by women, who drill much bet
ter than the same class of men.
Indignant at the criticism of their
brothers, the Brooklyn girls vowed they
would not be left out of the parade.
They studied military tactics, drilled
constantly, and those who saw them
march en- Oct. 20 declare that the boys
were mot in it," With white skirts,
blue bodices and red mortar boards these
plucky maidens held their lines we'll,
kept step, wheeled when opposite the
reviewing stand, lowered their flags in
salute and marched on as the populace
cried Good! good!" All these girls
belonged to Catholic schools. l blush
t. think that there is less patriotic Ell
thusiasm among the girls of our public
schools hal those of the Catholic church.
