A word must be said about Chinese
inns. No one who has ever stayed at
one of these caravansaries Is likely to
forget his experience. They are all
built on the same plan-a large court
yard, around the four sides of which
are built rows of small rooms, the
restaurant and Office being in front.
The buildings are built of sun dried
bricks, and are usually in the last stage
of dilapidation. Each small room con-
tains brick bed, in which fire can
be lighted for warmth in winter. There
is no furniture but rough chair and
perhaps table, while the windows are
nothing but frames covered with paper.
The average Chinese inn is usually o
menagerie and geological garden COM
bined. In the yard can be seen and
heard mules, donkeys, dogs, cats,
fowls of all kinds, pigs and camels,
while in the rooms where the weary
traveller is supposed to find rest there
is also rich variety. The scorpion,
and at times small variety of the cen.
tipede, often take stinging measures to
repel any attempts at friendship. The
chief glory, however, of the inn is the
waiter. This important functionary in
China has that patronizing air which
distinguishes his comfreres of the pro.
fsssion in other countries.
The inevitable napkin always accom-
panies him. With it in summer he
mops his sweating brow or bare shoul.
ders, while in winter wrapped around
his head it protects him from rain and
wind. At all seasons of the year it is
the only article he has with which to
clean table and plates or chop.sticks.
Chinese landlords are reasonable in
their charges, which to some degree
offsets the unpleasantness of living in
their inns.

Ambiguous.

A young man who had not enjoyed
the best of educational advantages was
showing his friends some photographs
he had collected in Europe. He came
to one of the tomb of Juliet, and after
giving an account of it, said, "Juliet's
esophagus is full of cards." This
would be degree or two worse for
poor Juliet than cold poison, to say
nothing of its utter impossibility at this
late date. He wound up with glow
ing talk on Venice and the "Dratic
Sea-" A pious old lady of my acquain-
tance, happened in at Christian En-
deavor meeting. which is always held
before the regular night church service.
She was much impressed by the young
peoples's earnestness, and ESPECIALLY
pleased with the singing. She said,
"Oh, I do love to hear 'em singl They
sing with such venom!"

A Critical Moment.

Fame is indeed wondrous thing.
A Western Maryland editor was in

"He doesn't conduct the Frostburg
Journal, does he ?" queried His
Excelency in a pleasant tone, or
words to that effect and being assured
that no such branching glories hung
above the hlushing head of his guest,
the President seemed relieved and re-
marked that all the frst-class foreign
missions were gone. 1t is appalling
to think whata narrow escape we have
had from losing our own and only
loved and loyable Nestor, the sacred
sachem of the sage-brush of Oders-
