Chinese Soldiers.

The following quotation from an
author who had experience with
General Gordon's lever victorious
army" shows Cinnamon are admira-
bly, suitable for soldiers:
1.-THE old notion is pretty well got
rid Of that they are at all a cowardly
people when properly paid and eff
GENTLY led, while the regularity and
order of their habits, which dispose
them to peace in ordinary times, give
place to a daring bordering upon
recklessness in time Of war. Their
intelligence and capacity for remem-
bering facts make them well fitted
for use in modern warfare, as do also
the GOODNESS and calmness of their
disposition.
physically they are on the aver
age not SO strong as Europeans, but
considerably more so than most of
the other races Of the east, and on a
cheap diet Of rice, vegetables, salt
fish and pork they can go through
vast amount of fatigue, whether in
temperate climate or tropical one,
where Europeans are i'll fitted for ex-
ertion. Their wants are few, they
have no caste prejudices and hardly
any appetite for Intoxicating liquors"

Priest John.

supposed Christian sovereign said to

of Asia (TibeD, though, according to
the Portuguese, he was king of Abys-

Abyssine or Ethiopian emperor, pre-
served great state and did not conde-

above twice or three times a year."
Vaudeville, who processes to have
travelled over Prester Johns country,
makes him sovereign of an archipel-
ago of islands in India beyond BAG

being present at divine service, he
asked who those persons were who

A Colored woman's White Rats

Lf the Pied Piper Of Hamelin should
ever take it into his head to pay
Washington visit, he would find
that he had rival already installed
here and the field fully occupied.
The rival in question is Sarah Baker,
acolored woman who lives in George
town, near the junction of Congress
street and the canal. She raises white
rats, not for sale or profit, but mere
" for the love of the rats. Her room,
where she and her four footed, long
tailed proteges reside, is a queer
apartment, filled up with cages, piled
one over the other, and scores if not
hundreds of the pink eyed, snowy
furred rodents, making up such rat
full vision as would ruin the trade Of
the best saloon in Washington if the
customers had to pass through it on
their way after drink.
The rats are all the descendants OF
two or three pairs that were given to
a woman year or two ago. They
multiplied and increased, and declin.
ing to kill any of them Mrs. Baker
provided new cages as the rats filled
up their old quarters, until now it
takes her the better part of her spare
time to feed and attend to the wants
of her file tailed family.
The rats all know her and viii
come to the front of their cages and
take food from between her lips, or
if given the liberty of the room some
of the corpulent old fellows will sit
upright on the palm of her hand and
wash their faces and comb out their
whiskers with the gravity of a bur-
onmaster. -W Washington Post.

The Effect Of Change.

The Philadelphia Record says: Gan
experienced cid housekeeper in charge
of a large down town mansion with
few occupants is noted for queer
manner of tidying up each room dali
ly between intervals of thorough
cleaning. Sometimes she merely
changes the chairs about in the I'M

Paper Hangers Pastes.

A trade journal says the founda-
ton of good paste is good flour. The
best white wheat flour is the cheap
est in the end, as it goes further and
works smoother.
To make bucket of paste take
about four pounds of sifted wheat
-four and stir in enough lukewarm
water to make stiff batter. Keep
on stirring until all humps disappear
and the batter is smooth. Then pour
in boiling hot water briskly until the
batter swells and has cooked ap-
pearance. When ready to use, thin
down with cold water until it can be
spread on the paper easily.
Some paper hangers add about two
ounces of powdered alum, but do not
use alum in paste when made for
felts or solid gold grounds.
To make rye flour paste mix
enough sifted rye flour with cold wa
ter to get the consistency of cream.
Stir until all Jumps disappear; then
place on fire to boil. Keep stirring
until it thickens and becomes yellow
ish in color. When cool, add enough
cold water until quite thin. Do not
use until cold
To make a strong size for very
rough walls dissolve one pound of
good ground glue to bucket of hot
water. Stir and use while warm.
Apply with an old pastebrush or
whitewash brush. For ordinary siz-
ing on new walls and walls that have
been papered a half pound Of glue to
a bucket Of water will be sufficient.

Chinese Description of the Piano.

A Chinaman, returned from a trip
to Europe, treated his countrymen to
the following description of the piano
'The Europeans keep large four
legged beast which they can make to
sing at will. A man, or more fire.
qus1ftly a woman, or even a feeble
girl, sits down in front of the animal
and steps on its tail, while at the
same time striking it's white teeth
with his or her fingers, when the
creature begins to sing. The singing,
though much louder than birds, is
pleasant to listen to. The beast does
not bite, nor does it move, though it
is not tied up. "-Neue Blatt.

HOW BLUE AND GRAY BLEND

&Oh, mother, what do they mean by blue?
And do they mean by gray?"
heard from the lips of q little child
As she bounded in from her play.
The mothers eyes filed up with tears.
She turned to her darling fair
And smoothed away from the sunny brow
The treasure of golden hair.
why, mothers eyes are blue. my sweet,
And grandpa's hair is gray,
And the love we bear our darling child
Grows stronger every day"
"But what did they mean?" persisted the child,
For 1 saw two cripples today,
And one Of them said he had fought for the
blue,
The other had fought for the gray.
'The one of the blue had lost leg,
And the other had but one arm,
And both seemed worn and weary and sd,
Yet their greeting was kind and warm.
They told Of battles in days gone by
Till it made my blood grow chill.
The leg was lost in the Wilderness fight
And the arm on Malvern Hill.
"They sat on the stone by the farnnyard gate
And talked for an hour or more
Till their eyes grew bright and their hearts
seemed warm
With fighting their battles DER.
And parting at last with q friendly grasp.
In kindly. brotherly way,
Each asking God to speed the time
Uniting the blue and the gray
Then the mother thought of other days,
Two stalwart boys from her riven;
How they'd knelt at her side, and, Hsping
prayed,
"Our father which art in heaven"
How one wore the gray and the other the blue;
How they passed away from sight

And she answered her darling with golden

While her heart was sorely wrung
With the thoughts awakened in that sad hour
By her innocent prattling tongue,

They are seen in the sky at even.
And many noble, gallant soul
Has found them passports to heaven"

THE OLD CLAY PIPE.

There's lot of solid comfort
In an old clay pipe, find,
If you're kind of out of humor
Or in trouble in your mind.
When you're feeling awful lonesome,
And don't know just what to do,
There's heap of satisfaction
If you smoke a pipe or two.
The ten thousand pleasant memories
That are buried in your soul
Are playing hide and seek with you
Around that smoking bowl.
These are mighty restful moments;
You're at peace with all the world,
And the panorama changes
AS the thin blue smoke is curled.
Now you cross the bridge of sorrows,
Now you enter pleasant lands,
And before an open doorway
You will linger to shake hands
With 1.-THE and girlish figure
That is coming through the door.
All, you recognize the featuresI
You have seen that face before.
You are at the dear old homestead
Where you spent those happy years.
You are romping with the children;
You are smiling through your tears;
You have fought and whipped the bully;
You are eight, and he is ten.
Oh, how rapidly we travell
You are now boy again.
You approach the open doorway,
And before the old armchair
You will stop and kiss the grandma;
You will smooth the thin white hair;
You will read the open Bible,
For the lamp is lit, you see.
It is now your hour for bedtime,
And you kneel at mothers knee.
still you inger at the hearthstone;
You are loath to leave the place,
When an apple cuts in progress;
You must wait and dance with Grace.
What's the matter with the muster
Only this: The pipe is broke,
And the thousand pleasant fancies
Vanish promptly with the smoke.

THE LONELINESS OF DEATH.

|
The silent chariot standeth at the door;
The house is hushed and still from roof to floor.
None heard the sound of its mysterious wheels,
Yet each it's presence feels.
No champing bit, no tramp of paving steed;
All dark and silent up and down the street.
And yet thou mayst not keep 1t waiting there
For one last kiss or prayer
Thy words, with some strange other inter-
changed,
etrike cold across US like loved eyes estranged
With things that are not fraught, or things
that are
Fade like sun struck star.
And thou, too weak and agonized to lift
The cup to quench thy dying thirst or shift
Thy pillows, now without our help must rise
Nor wait our ministries.
Thou, loved and cherished, must go forth alone.
None see thee fondly to the door, not one.
No head is turned to see thee go; we stay
Where thou art not and pray.
No panel bars thy white, resistless feet;
Our walls are mist to thee; out on the street
1t waits, It waits for thee, for thee alone.
Arise, let us begonel
Alone, alone upon thine awful way!
Do any show thee kindness, any stay
Thy heart, or does the silent charioteef
Whisper. BE of good cheer2''
we know not; none may follow thee affair.
None hear the sound of thy departing car.
Only vast silence like strong black sea,
Rolls on 'twixt me and thee.
