sOuthwesterly some degrees east Of Cape

just east of the Japan islands, Jesse and
Niphon, keeping west of Guadalupe, east
of BONN, Loo-Choo and Patchoo islands.
From the last named places the line passes
through the Bashee channel, just north of
the Bashee islands. 1t next enters the
Chinese sea east of Hong Kong, then passes
south little west of the Philippine is

It is at this place that it reaches it's most
westerly point, being about 116 degrees east

From here it takes a southwesterIy course
again, passing almost exactly through the
center Of the Sooloo islands. Thence it
passes east, nearly parallel to the equator
and just north of it, to point 165 degrees,

While on the train | suddenly recollected

Did the Indian Smoke For Pleasure?

There are pipes of all possible sizes and
shapes, taken from graves, in the arch@o-
logical collection of Thomas Harper Of Al
Ieghany, and some of these are beautiful.
One, grotesCue and blackened with use, is
the image in miniature of a grizzly bear,
with staring eyes and grinning teeth.
Another of odd shape has face rudely
sketched on it. The most artistic in shape
and decoration is of the red catlenite. This
pipe is polished and handsomely inlaid with
some metallic substance resembling lead
''It must not be understood" said Mr..
Harper, that smoking was daily habit
with this people. Their prophets and wise
men smoked to propitiate the spirits before
entering on any new undertaking. Civil

which was the religious ceremony of a say

Love Not Necessary to Existence.

Marriage n England.

Dr. Ogle has given some interesting testimony before the royal labor com mission in London as to the habit of marriage in the upper and lower classes of England. For instance out of 1000 miners 704 wed when they are under 25, and 1G9 under 21, while in the pro- fessiOnal and independent classes the corresponding proportions are 151 and z. Of miners wives 439 per 1000 marry under 21, as against 127 of the weaIthier classes. Early marriages among the poor mean large families, but this, ac- cording to pr. Ogle, is counterbGlanced partially by the enormous mortality among the children. With a view of showing the relation between these deaths and the drunken habits Of lower class English women the doctor said he had found that Of about 5000 children year who die of suffocation in bed. three times as many cases occur Satur- day night as any other evening in the week.

DECLINE OF NEGRO SONGS.
Consequent Upon the Changing Condi-
 tions cf the Race.

Consequent Upon the Changing COndi-
 tions cT the Race.
 One of the bad spots in the negro character, wkich has so much good in it, is that they are undoubtedly not strong in their domestic affections, says the Boston Transcript. The best nurses in the world, they are indifferent moth CTS. Their babies are regarded as in the way, and the mortality among ne gro children proves an appalling care lessness of their lives. Consequently there is not usually a deep affection on the part of the children. They leave their parents with the utmost readiness, and an occasional letter is sent, either to ask for money, which they don't get, or to brag of their success. Naturally the younger ones, born in freedom, have a bathing for everything that per tains to slavery. They regard the old slaves with contempt, and because the younger ones can read and write they set the older ones down as too ignorant to be considered, forgetting that they were once efficient workers and aver aged superior in morals and manners to their descendants.
 One of the results of this is the dying out of the rich, melodious negro songs not the songs of the negro minstrel' type, which were totally unlike the real article. This is Q very great pity, as these songs were wild and charming beyond comparison. In slavery times the negroes were encouraged to sing. The wheat was reaped to the singing of the reapers and the best singer gcEer- ally headed the row. The ones who could pick the banjoor scrape the fiddle were peculiarly privileged.
