In order to emphasize the Importance OF
the cultivation of the soil and to encourage
his subjects to follow agricultural pursuits,
the emperor of China sometimes performs
certain rites at the "emperor's field" and
goes through the form ofplowing and other
work of the husbandman. One day recent
ly the emperor set out at daybreak from
his palace with a numerous and magnif-
cent train OF courtiers and others. Before
breakfast the emperor arrived at the shrines
of the deity presiding over agriculture, and
his majesty stopped to offer up his thanks
giving and sacrifices. After changing his
dress, the morning repast was served, at the
end of which the emperor proceeded to the
field, at the four corners of which were
erected four payilions, where the seeds OF
wheat and other cereals were placed.
In the center were numbers of magnifi-
Gently attired courtiers, each holding aloft
n many colored flag, while on the side OF
the passage were scores Of aged and white
haired farmers, each having in his hand
some agricultural implement Placing his
left hand on the pillow and holding the whip
in his right hand, the emperor began the
ceremony Of the occasion. By prearrange-
ment the officers did their allotted share,
some wieldingth the agricultural implements,
while others scattered seeds out of the
baskets as if sowing, while the emperor
was busted with the plow, which was
hitched to richly caparisoned bullock
draped in yellow and led by two of the EN-
peror's bodyguards. On the emperor fin
ishing his round at the pillow the three
princes were ordered to go through the per-
formance, and after them nine high court
iers had their turn-Pall Mall Budget.

ing in time for work have now prototype
or two in New York. There is an old Grip
pie living in William street who gets up at
8 a. m. each day and begins tour OF the
Bowery and its vicinity, knocking at occa-
sional shutters and windows to arouse his
customers. He is a Frenchman himself
and was able to drum up n good trade in
almost no time. Elevated train hands,
watchmen, steyedores and other timed
workers patronize him, and his rates are
cent day. He has nearly 80 customers,
and this novel work is done in about three
hours. The rest of the time he presumably
puts in at another occupation.
When he first started, the policemen on
the various beats he traversed eyed him
with suspicion, but after he had explained
matters there was no further interference
with him. The number of his clients grew
so rapidly that the cripple's wife left her
washtub and the pair doubled their rates.
Now many a working girl, who once lived
in daily dread of fine for lateness at the
shop or factory. rests undisturbed, know

It is not probable that Congress will

be taken at its face value.
We want large amount OF frao
tional currency In the transaction o

In Eighth avenue there Is recruiting Of
nee for the United States army, In front
OF the premises during business hours Is
stationed an orderly whose erect figure,
bright new uniform and fine soldierly bear.
ing are well calculated to make a favorable
impression on the minds Of discontented
young men who may be taken with a sud
den impulse to enter the service of their
country. On the streets in the neighbor-
hood there are generally to be seen two or
three robust and well fed young men in
the uniform OF privates lounging about In
a contented sort Of way, from whose leisure
ly manner 1t might easily be inferred that.
In time Of peace at least, the soldiers lot
was quite happy one.
1.-THE whole scheme Is a slick one,n was
the remark of an ex-private who only few
weeks ago received an honorable discharge
nom the regular army after six years OF
service in the west. "The whole scheme
is a slick one," he repeated, land It catches
lots of fellows who are Just as fresh and
green as l was when l enlisted In Philadel-
phia nearly six years ago Young fellows
who are out Of work or who are dissatisfied
with their positions, or who are in desper-
ate frame of mind after a spree, or who
are unhappy in their love affairs, acciden-
tally run across these recruiting officers, and
the idea suddenly pops into their heads
that it would be a mighty nice thing to
join the army and thus run away from their
TROUBLES.
'They see the orderly and the privates in
their neat bright uniforms, with apparently
nothing in the world to do but keep their
shoes and clothes well brushed, and what
was at first merely vagrant notion be-
comes determined resolution. They ap.
lply for enlistment, pass the necessary ex-
animation and almost before they are aware
of 1t have surrendered a large share of their
personal freedom and become subjects OF
military discipline. But the natty orderly
on duty in front of the recruiting office and
the well fed privates on the streets near by
what of them, you askf Why, they run
the scheme ! spoke of in the first place.
Uncle Sam is the shrewdest advertiser in
the business. He places those fellows wear
ling new uniforms on view to advertise
what royal, free for all picnic he has in
store for those who join the regular army"
