Wages in China.

The wages paid to the laborers are
about I'D. per diem, with rations.
The workers are easily c%ontented, de-
handing only the plainest of food.
while for housing they are satisfied
in winter to creep all together under
a low mat shed with a solid back to
the north wind. The severity of the
weather, however, usually stops all
such work before Christmas. What
the men do when they retire to win
ter quarters l cannot tell: but China
men have a curious alternating fac
ulty whereby by abstaining from
muscular eSertion they are able to

wages fall below a certain range,
poor people sometimes choose not to
work, because they consider that
they would have to take more food
to repair the waste than the work
done would produce.

OF a council committee; the demoli-

pumps are idle, awaiting the verdict
of the experts, and the slime and

such an odor that strcet-car conduc-

muzzled before they will cross the

who can think for himself without

Schneidemuhl had o town pump
which had supplied them with good
water for many years. During the
cholera epidemic last summer the
water fell under suspicion, which
analysis seem to confirm. 1t was
therefore determined to go deeper,
and the pipes Of an artesfan we'll
were put down. At q depth Of fifty
four meters an underground reservoir
was tapped, and the water, pressed
on by the superintendent soil, rushed.
up with great force. When tho
artesian pipe was stopped the water
forced its way outside the pipes,
bringing up with it quantities of
sand. Since then, all efforts to stop
the flow have been useless, and as the
water rises the earth sinks. The
obvious inference seems to be that SO
long a there was no escape for 1t the,
water formed an incompressible
stratum on which the upper earth
rested in safety. Every hydraulic
press illustrates the enormous force
water will bear and will convey when
no outlet is provided for it; but let.
there be a vent and 1t yields to a
touch. So with the hidden water

bore up the weight of flfty-four
meters of solid earth so long as there
was no outlet, but the artcsian pipe
let 1t loose, and it rushed out from
its confinement. the soil it had borne
above it necessarily sinking down.
The danger of artesian wells has
always been theoretically recognized,
but this case is the first in which it
has tcen practically illustrated.

The Chicago Record tells of a girl
who was seized with the bicycle
mania. About a month ago she in
vested her savings in u bicycle.
Every morning she disappeared for
several hours and returned home
with tandaged fingers, torn Skirts,
a banged-in hat, a sour temper. and.
a painful limp. The other day She
invited the family to assemble at u
certain riding school to see her per-
form. She nimbly mounted, o
around the hall twice. jumped off
and on with the agility of a young.
kitten, and excited the admiration
Of the whole crowd. Then some.
officious person said: "Go around
the other way" She had always
practiced in the one direction, but
such a trifle did not worry her, so she
wheeled around and rode off like a
runaway cable-car. When she ar
rived at the first turn there was a
terrible crash, a shrek, a resounding
crack made by her head coming in
contact with the floor, and then all
was still. The family had her taken
home in an ambulance, and she has
already made arrangements to have
the machine patched up and sold Mt
half price.

who was a tall, thin man, with waxed
mustache like ratrtails, a kind of
Don Quixote-rose from his seat,
advanced toward the elderly gentle
man, and snatched the paper from
him. High words followed, seconds
were named, and the next morning
Chocquart received a sword-thrust in
his chest which laid him up for a
month. AS soo as he had recovered,
he went again to Tortoni's, and found
his adversary reading the same paper,
and in the same corner. sWatter!!"
he shouted, @the Constitutionnel!" sit

He again waited five minutes, and
then, placing himself in front Of the
gentleman in a military attitude,
said to him: SWELL, sir, do you Wish

dressing the court in behalf of a
prisoner, when suddenly he perceived
that the presiding Judge was visibly

then, bringing down his fist with a
terrible thump on the desk in font,
of him, he shouted in his most
resonant and clarion-likc voice: "As

mediately punished by the indignant
judge s%uspending the young lawyer

period Of two months. Less ener-
getic, yet equally effective, was
Maitre Rouse, who, having likewise
observed that the presiding magis-
trate was indulging in a nap, sud-
denly stopped talking. The pro-
longed silence, which lasted for four
minutes, had the effect of Weakening
the Judge, and, as soon as he opened
his eyes, Maitre Rouse made Il pro-
found bow and resumed his speech,
as follows: "As 1 was spying, Mes
sieurs de la Cour, at your last audi
encc," laying special stress on the
word "last." The reproof was so deli.
cate that everybody smiled, even in.

Avenged by His Pets.

Mcinrad, a famous Swiss saint, who
tlourished in the ninth century, led a
hermit's life in a cell in Einsicdeln,
where he was often visited for advice
and help. The companions of his
solitude were two tame ravens. to
which he was much attached. In the
year SCI the saint was murdered in
his cell by some men inspired by
greed of gold, which they supposed
the poor mar to possess. After the
foul decd they fled toward Zurich,
whittier they were followed by tho
two ravens. There certain pilgrims
identified the birds, and inquiries
having been made at once, the MUIR
dercrs were arrested and punished.
The saints cell remained untenantcd
for nearly fifty years, but was rebuilt
of stone about a century afterward.
and some two hundred years later the
great convent of Einsiedeln, still the
richest aud most freauentcd in
Switzerland, arose on the spot where
the lonely preacher was slain.
