one of the gilded pillars near us leaned
a forlorn looking wretch in seedy garb,
who every now and then gave vent to a
consumptive cough that seemed to cause
him intense pain. Suddenly he fell In a
heap to the floor, apparently with great
force, and in minute a crowd was
around him-a sympathizing crowd too.
One fellow, who was the most officious
in rubbing the unfortunate's head with
some kind of liquid to restore him to
consciousness, said:
Gentlemen, tell you what ails this
man. It's nothing more or less than
starvation. le hasn't had mouthful

When 10 You suppose the Chinese
children fire off torpedoes, skyrockets

know, You could never guess in all the
world, So you may as well be told right
away. They fire them off on New Years
day. And when You are told why they
celebrate New Years day as if it were
Fourth Of July, you will be still more
surprised.
You know the Chinese have different
religion from ours. and because of that
they believe many things which we do
not believe at all. New Years day the
frecrackers are set off TO keep evil spirits
at distance. The night before the new
year there are special services to the
Chinese deity, and at bedtime a pot Of
rice is left upon the table, covered with
cypress leaves.
New Years day there are social visits,
dinners and family games. And all day
long the Chinese youngsters are expect
ed to keep up firing of fireworks of all
kinds to keep off evil spirits.-New

All ladies know what pin money is,
but it may be interesting to them to
learn the origin of the expression and
also TO know that it is directly connected
with New Years day. Until the begin
ming Of the sixteenth century the only
pins used by the poorer classes were
made of wood-in fact, they were not
pins at all, but skewers, which, for the
use Of the wealthy, were of lockwood,
bone and silver At the period above
named the metal pins now in use were
invented. and people Of fashion were
eager to possess them. They at once be-
came the most popular and acceptable
New Years gift for ladies, but it soon
grew customary to give, instead of the
pins themselves, the money with which
to purchase them, and this was called
''pin money" a term which gradually
came to be applied to all money given to
ladies for the general purpose of dress
and personal adornment.- Selected
