The Chinese Laundry Ticket.

From this Ladies Home Journal
Probably not one person in a thousand
understands the true Interpretation Of the
Chinese laundry ticket.
The celestials have system of their
own. 1t is based on the many gods and
goddesses Of the laundry. Although the
system is a very complicated one seldom
does Chinese laundryman deliver a pack
age of washing to the wrong person.
Furthermore. II the ticket is lost the
chances are that you will not get your
linen, unless you be particular friend OF
the proprietor. Instances are on record
where American has gone to court TO
force the Chinese to yield up the washing.
but-Ihc judge was not convinced that the
case of the white man was a good one.
The Chinese laundryman at the begin
ming of each week makes out a batch of
checks, in duplicate, to be used as wash
tickets. He selects the name of some god
or goddess or of some object. as the sun,
the moon or the stars. To this name he
pr ehXes a number. as Moon No L.
Moon No. - and so on. In the space
between the two legends-for the signs are
repeated twice-he has his own name, as.

YELLOW CARRIERS,
Every Bride Sheald Wear mt Least a
Dozen.

Dozen.
A wedding without the distribution of
yellow carriers would not be any sort of we'd
ding. says the Charleston News. You see
1t Is the same old story; the bride wears
the Garters during the ceremony and when
she gowns herself I'm her travelling frock
she very CONSIDERABLY discards two or
three dozen garters that are eagerly grab
bed for by the frenZied mob Of bridesmaids
For has it not been proven time and time
again that a garter is a talisman against
spinsterhood?
/ know girl who has worn a yellow
garter for seven years, and she's never had
a proposal yet. But her case is an eXcep-
tional one. and far / she
takes 1t all very happily. She says, though,
faith in yellow carriers is bit frayed out
around the edges, there's enough left for
another seven years SO. Besides, this
girl occasionally dares to give an opinion
on politics and things, which is very fool
ish of her, because a man is conceited
lofty-minded sort of creature. and doesa' [
like to have a sweet little thing in petit
coats stand up and tell him that his ideas
aren't the only ideas in the universe.
On st. Eutropius' day In Haute-Nienne
all the unmarried women walk In process
sion to st. Julien-les-Gombes to the cross
pear the church. Each woman hangs her
left garter on the cross and prays that she
may have q good husband. There Is a SUI
perstitton, not unknown in this country.
that a yellow garter-this, too, is the left
garter-knit by friend and given unex-
pectedly to the wearer, If worn on Easter
day. will bring an engagement before the
year Is out. 1t would be interesting to
know the origin Of this rite, which has a
strong family resemblance to that nara ted
above and IT ore than possibly had a COM
mon origin with it.

with their own relatives, leave their prop
erty to Uncle Sam. and eventually 1t Is
covered into the national funds by draft
Occasionally years are required for the
settlement Of the estates. A notable in
stance was that OF q Massachusetts citizen
named John Gardner, wEo In 1876, gave
his real and personal estate to the United
States. the total amounting to $4,000. Not
long afterward w. III. Merriam left all his
possessions to the treasury. He was q very
peculiar man and for some time previous
to his demise he had declared that If the
elections went certain way lie would
make tle government his heir. This event
coming 10 pass. he did SO. and shortly litter
weat the way OF all flesh. There was a
great hunt for his money, much Of which
was hidden away In old teapots and valises
about his house.
Gifts Of Money.
During the civil war a number Of people
transferred bonds and blocks of stock to
the treasury out of patriotism. For some
years past Uncle Sam has received no very
large sift Of money. but voluntary contri-
buttons to the conscience fund come in
nearly every day in the year from people
who are sorry for having cheated the gov
eminent out of small sums Often the
amount In question is only cents for
twice-used postage stamp, but now and
then amateur smuggler will make an
anonymous return of several hundred dol
lars.
A gift to the United States displayed at
the Department of State is whales
tooth presented by a king of the Fiji Is
lands some years ago. Exhibited in the
same place are other valuable presents from
nations. Two swords with gold hits and
scabbards are gifts from Siam. A great
gold medal from Brazil commentaries the
visit of the United States squadron to sa-
lutte the brazilian republic in 1891. Another
medal is from Turkey, set with many dia-
Eonds. II was received quite recently, he
Ing intended as memorial OF the Chicago
fair.
Every now and then the War Department
receives from some foreign power a gift of
new kind OF saddle or a gun OF 4 new
pattern. Such presents are intended To
convey friendly hints OF the latest progress
In military affairs abroad. Or it may be
that the surgeon general Of the army will
lie the recipient of newly invented surgi-
cal instrument. Naturally such compli-
monts are returned in kind. European ma
tons send many valuable things in the
way of plants. seeds. etc, to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, which recprocates
Gifts sent by nations to the treasury of
the United States are acknowledged by the
Department of State. They find their way
usually to the National Museum, because
the chief magistrate is forbidden by law to
accept them for his own private use. They
become the property OF the government
Among the gifts of this kind preserved
at the National Museum are a bottle OF
diamonds. a bottle of pearls. gold sword
scabbarda diamond set snuff box and many
other valuable trifles. RENE BACHE.
