In this great and prosperous city there
are no less than eight slaughtor-houses,
twenty-seven markets and two vestau-
rants where horse-iiesh is the only
article dealt in, says a Berlin a%orrespon-
dent.
The other day l visited one of the
restaurants and obtained from the pro-
prietor considerable interesting in
formation. The diners were mostly
wurkmen of the better class, with here
and there a clerk or salesman, and tho
constant coming and going must have
filled the heart of the proprietor with
gladness. The menu was more remark
able for %cheapness than for variety, as
nothing but horse flesh was served,
washed down with excellent Bavarian
beer, at 10 pf. (2A cents a glass, cheap
even for Berlin. The proprietor OF the
restaurant told me he serves on IN aver
age 800 portions a day, and, as he has a
market connected with his eating house,
uses about six or eight horses a week,
costing him from $l2 to $50 apiece.

Many Chinese believe that tho suicido
was induced to kill himself by an evil
spirit who made him a present Of agold-
en- collar. Therefore these superstitious
people hire a priest to drive out the
tempting spirit whenever q suicide has
been committed in their houses. After
no priest has concluded various cere-
monies he re elves a small black dog, a
block and a Ratchet from the owner OF
tho house. Then the priest chops OH
tho tail OF the pcor animal and places q
ropo about its neck. whereupon the
head OF the family drags the bowling
and bleeding dog through all the rooms
OF the house and finally kicks him un-
Mercituiiy into The street. The dog 10

with his bowling and to pursue them
In their flight through the streets.
To purify the house the priest. pro-
coded by a msn with a torch, walks
through all the apartments with a copper
pan upon which sulphur, saitpcter and
other combustible substances arc
burned, and to prevent the evil spirits
from returning the priest places some

himself is replaced by a new ono. to
prevent the soul Of the departed from
returning and settling in the fatal rafter.
The Chinese condemn and despise
self-destruction that is a consequence
Of vice or passion, but express the
greatest resp oct for people who commit
suicide for reasons which they regard as
noble. The gates Of paradise are ajar
for honorable" suicides. AMI they arc
considered brave and v%irtuoua. All
government officials who kill themselves
because they cannot survive a defeat on
the battle field or ali insult of the Emu
peror, sons who commit suicide because
are unable to venPe an injury
d5ne their parents, and affeetionate
wives who cannot survive the death OF
their husbands are in this CATEGORY.

bryan ana II was asked that the resolu-
tlon made by Major Page Yesterday 10
ratlty this report be adopted by the coun-
Gil. The report OF the jolnt committee
or the two di0ceses recommends that a
division OF the funds be made on the
basis Of the report OF the general con-
Vention, thus giving the diocese OF Vir-
ginia 4b.l56 per cent, about s4S.0i2. 80, and
southern Virginia @SH per cent, about

in favor OF the diocese OF Southern Vir-
ginia Of $S.o0223 There was much dis
cussion on this subject. i'm which the Rev.
II. B. Lee opposed the proposed division,
saying that the principle was misunder-
stood, as the ratio Of communicates

The Rev. DR.. Nelson, Messrs. r. III. Nc
Eulre, Roosevelt Page and Or. Sprigg up-
held the report Of the COMMITTEES, the
keV. j. X. Mason opposed the report. An
amendment was offered by the Rev. IL.
b. Lee, as follows:
Resolved. That the attention Of the
diocese Of Southern Virginia be called to
the ldcL Jhdt the line Of division as finally
carried gives them an undue proportion
OF the funds, and that they be asked 10
correct it, This was laid on the table.
The report OF the committee was finally
accepted, and a resolution carried. which
