The Chinese are extremely conserva-
tive people. The fact that their grand.
fathers used prod. sticks in cultivating
the soil, will probably be regarded by
them IS a sufficient reason for continuing
to use these implements to the end of
time. In this respect, however, they
are not alone. Our Southern brethren,
and great many other white men have
a grandfathers opinion of the "Negro"
which no amount of the most conclusive
evidence can shake. For instance, re-
ferring to the Allo-Americans of the
South, Southern journal recently said:
"They remain, and will for years con.
t,nue the ignorant, unquestioning fol-
towers and slaves of the old carpet bag
ger elements, whose control of them has
prevented their advancement and PROV
ed the crowniL g curse of their race"
That journal pretends to be unable to
see that the unfriendly legislation. the
separate coach bills, the DISTINGUISHING
ele ction laws, and the lynchings so pre-
valent in the South must repel the Afro
Am orleans from cooperation with those
who are the authors of these things and
force them to ally themselves with those
who oppose them, whether they are
the ''old carpet-bag elements or
others. Such alliance is not mark OF
ignorance, but of intelligence. 1t is the
instinct Of self-preservation- first
law of nature.

Trouble with Cook.


Mrs. Joshua and her family desired to
acquire the correct Partisan accent and
therefore engaged a French cook-a lady
whose pot an feu had attained more than
universal reputation. But no English
household can live on fricasses, raie au
beurre noir and asperges frappees. and
when, therefore, the French cuisiniere
was asked to supply British breakfast
the result was a failure. The mistress.
naturally enough. expostulated with the
cook, who replied IN the latest Partisan
style. Mile tOnnerres,- she cried
''you no ike my preakfast-plan-plan.' -
and at each word she hurled plate or
cup TO the floor and danced upon the at
oms.
AT such a game the largest supply Of
china must become exhausted, and when
the Cadogan square French cook had
danced upon the last atom she was able 10
manufacture, she lookup a kitchen knife
and, like the famous Vatel. not only
threatened IN chagrin TO end her own
days, but 70 finish some other persons
also. 1t took four or FIVE fellow servants
TO hold her down until the mistress read
the sentence Of formal and immediate
dismissal. The cuisiniere now sued Mrs.
Joshua in the Westminster county court
for a months wages in lieu of notice,
but the judge held that, no matter how
the law stood in France, her conduct
was not in consonance with English Gus
tom and therefore merited dismissal -

While Mr.. Carlisle is a great brain
worker and has capacity to get through
large amount Of mental labor which is
exhausting as well to the physical body,
yet he is fond of pleasure and recreation.
His chief recreation is small game of
draw poker-a sort of family game-at
his residence, one or two evenings during
the week, with few invited friends.
The ante is only cents, and the limit
but 25 cents. He always plays in bad
luck-I think quits the game four out
of five times loser.
The fves and deuces seem to have a
great fondness for his hand. One rarely
deals without giving him a deuce or a
five. and he never fails to call the atten-
ton of the players to the fact with the
exclamation: Here's that deuce" or
Here's that five again. 1 get it every
time" But all the same he enters into
the spirit of the game with as much ear
nestness as he does in solving a great
question in political economy, and from
these poker party meetings he derives a
great deal Of keen enjoyment and much
needed creation.-Louisville Courier
Journal

Apelicate and Daring operatiou,

The constant aim of surgery is 10 re-
duce the rate Of mortality in certain
dangerous operations and with this OBJ
ject experiment is going ON all the while
These experiments are often continued
for long period Of time upon the dead
body before being once tried upon a liv-
ing subject. This was the case with n
new operation which was tried for the
first time in this city. This operation is
called symphyseotomy, and it is said 10
be hardly less dangerous than the one
for which it was supposed TO be substi-
tute. 1t was intended TO take theplace
of the improved Casarian operation.
Symphyseotomy consists Of splitting
the bones of the pelvis. 1t was tried
twice in Philadelphia since the first
operation Of the kind in this country,
which took place in New York, and it
was not followed by any disastrous re-
suit. In the record of all the cases here
and in Europe since this operation was
introduced the mortality IS lower than
the Cesarian method, and It is hoped it
may be perfected so as TO dispense with
the latter altogether.-New York Cor.

the twisted spokes as though the trouble
the Yurnas had experienced lay in them.
The Yumas were watching him. and
with evident suspicion. Some of them
took up their lances and stationed them
selves near, plainly 20 prevent any effort
to escape.
Percy mounted. AT FIRST he rode the
bicycle round and round in a little cir
Gle, all the while causing it TO wabble as
if il were out Of order. Under his indif-
ference he was closely watching with
wildly beating heart for a chance to
break past the line of lances and send
his wheel spinning across the sand.
Slowly he increased the circle. adding a
yard or two to its diameter at every
sweep. Suddenly seeing an opening he
made a sharp, quick turn, and throwing
all his strength into the rush made q
dash for liberty.
A threatening yell arose behind, and
several lance points whizzed past him,
but the haste with which they were
thrown caused them to fiy wildly. None
touched him, and In another moment the
young bicyclist had spun well out be-
yond the yelling circle and was flying
with all speed across the grayelly waste,
the Yumas in pursuit.
Being splendid runners. the Indians
crowded him uncomfortably close for
the first 100 yards. AT that point the
earth became yet frmer, and with the
advantage Of this better roadway Percy
rapidly increased the distance between
himself and these very unpleasant ac-
quaintances.
They hung persistently on the track,
however, though at the end of half an
hour they had dwindled to mere specks.
At the expiration of an hour they were
no longer visible, and then Percy threw
himself on the sand, feeling that he
could not propel the safety another yard
If his life depended on it.
The Yumas did not come into view
again. probably having abandoned the
useless chase, and the next afternoon
Percy reached Barbazon safe and sound.

AFIustrated Pilgrim.

A good pilgrim story comes from
Rome. 1t appears that among the Irish
pilgrims 10 the Eternal City was a Ger
tain shopkeeper from Mulhngar. This
gentleman looked forward with more
concern than any Of his fellow travellers
10 seeing his holiness and On the morn
ing Of the audience at the Vatican was
beside himself with excitement. Now it
so happened that when the Irish pilgrims
were about TO enter that particular part
OF the Vatican where the pope was wait
ing TO receive them, the shopkeeper from
Muliingtr got separated from the rest of
his friends and turning the handle of a
ponderous door found himself in the
presence Of the august head Of the Ro-
man Catholic church. The blood almost
froze IN his veins. and in vain did he
look for face that he recognized The
splendor, too, Of the papal court did not
improve matters. 50 what he did was
10 throw himself on his knees at the feet
OF the pope and shout out, loud enough

chamber. 20 howly father, Dim from
