Chinese Notions OF Color.

The philosophy Of Chinese house
painting is truly cuy yoHs. though per
haps the interest which attaches to
this subject lies more in the restlic
tions imposed upon the man with pot
and brush than in the free exercise
of a decorative art. for among Ce
lestials art is eminently utilitarian.
We enjoy our colors: the Chinese put
theirs to work More, in house paint
ING green and red are, so to speak, de
rigueur; other colors would be un
propitious, unlucky. III omened. And
even if the average China1nan DIAL
ancing himself as best he can upon
the superstitions and practices Of
ages is ignorant Of the precise
grounds of his belief. he adheres none
the less rigidly to the canon.
AS Pythagoras taught. that music
was the first cause Of tie universe
so the Chinese have pinned their faith
to the absolute efficacy of color, Ell
dowing it with powers quite beyond
the laws Of chemistry or physics. In.
deed, poor John may be said to live
and die by the color scale. Henry B.

Giving a Book q Name.

circulating libraries, for one thing,
who would probably take the book
to be a new story by Rita OF TIE

something from the splendor Of their

LONG DISTANCE RIDES.
A Fav ori.e Subject with Poets ant
Writers of Romance.

A Fav orite Subject with Poets and
Writers of Romance.
Long distance rides have always
been a favorite subject with poets and
writer's of romance. There is some
thing that seizes the imagination in
the idea Of a solitary horsenlan spur
ring on his steed in a race with time.
spurred on himself by terror, by hf
tired or by devotion to duty. BIT a}-
though they willingly treat of him it
cannot be said that they often succeed
in making him very real. We all know
how Dick Turpin rode to New York.
| We also know how Mr.. Browning
brought the good news to Client
after a fashion almost as apocryphal
as the news itself.
The recognized method, both in
poetry and fiction, generally pro
duces much the same picture The
gallant generous hearted animal
gallops on and on with no abate-
ment Of speed, for the rider is al
ways apparently injudicio1ls enough
to force the pace the whole way.
Soon after the accomplishment of
some hundred odd miles at full gal
lop we learn that the noble steed be-
gins to show signs Of distress-as
well he may-his ':heaving fanks
are wet with foam" his blood red
nostrils are wide spread, and his
labored breath comes in great sobs.
One might imagine from the de-
scription that the horse had stopped
but no. he is still galloping, heaving
fanks and all. One might also sup
pose that the rider, perceiving these
symptoms, would pull up and give
the horse q chance; on the contrary,
! at this juncture lie makes passion
ate appeal to the horses better feel
ings-an appeal which is ccuched in
language too beautiful to be unavail-
ing. And 50 the poor beast gallops
on for another hour or SO until he
arrives at his destination and drops
| dead with a broken heart.
! Even men who have ridden their
horses to a standstill in the hunting
field at the same laad pace will fail
to recognize the accuracy Of the de
scription In the case CT a long dis
tance, where it is the course ard not
the pace that kills, the picture is
ludicrousiv incorrect. Well, it must
| be confessed that TIE reality is
rather ugly and Goes not lend itself
easily to the uses Of romance; the
sight Of man and his horse crawl
ing painfully onward, the former
still wearily pe,'sisting i'll the useless
cruelty OF the spur, while the latter,
painfully dragging one foot behind
the other, droons his head miserably
on the hard jerlzcd rein, is not one
to inspire pleas1lTably tho readers Of
romance. London Spectator.
