The Chinese.

The merchant class of China is COM
posed of polite, patient, extremely
shrewd, well dressed pattern shopkeep-
ers The leisure class is graceful, pol
ished and amiable, but the peasantry
remind one of the country folk of Eu-
rope, excepting Russia.
AS compared with Japan, one feature
of every view is .strikingly in favor Of
China. The dress and behavior of the
Chinese will not offend Europeans. The
women are modest and dress in a baggy
garment which completely covers them.
In spite of their modesty Chinese
girls do fiirt and in proper European
fashion. At church they make eyes at
the young men and on the way to school.
The most beautiful women Of China
are of Soo-Chow. They are. as a rule,
prettier than the women of Japan.

sive as they are, winch falls like dew
upon the heart. Good nightv' the lit
tie one lisps as, gowned in white, with
shining face and hands, and prayers
said, she toddles off to bed. Sisters and
brothers exchange the wish, parents
and children, friends and friends. Fa-
miliar use has robbed it of its sgni1-
canoe to some of US; we repeat it auto
matically, without much thought. But
consider. We are as y0yagers, putting
off from time to time upon an unex-
plored sea. Our banks Of life set sail
and 90 onward into the darkness, and
we, asleep ON our pillows, take no such
care as we do when awake aud journey
ing by daylight. OF the perils Of the
night, whatever they may be, we take
no heed. An unsleeping vigilance Of
one stronger and wiser than we, who is
the eternal good. Good and God spring
from the same root, and are the same
in meaning. "Goodby" is only "God
be with you. . GOOD night" is really
"God night" or "God guard the

The Redheaded Girl Is Discouraged ~
Trying to Teach Her Things.
That redheaded girl on Baynes street
lately undertook to teach the art of do
nestle service to a Polish maiden who
had been plucked green in the wilder
ness Of Shumway street. The new girl
was willing, but ignorant even of the
English language. Instruction had to
be impaired by object lessons. The first
lesson was in lighting the gas. The
kitchen treasure was told by her new
mistress that she was 10 turn the stop
cock and then apply match to the end
Of the pipe. She seemed to comprehend.
The next day the redheaded girl was
attracted by vile smell issuing from
the kitchen. On investigation the Pol
ish exile was found standing beside the
cold water faucet, patiently lighting
matches and holding them under the
stream Of water, which she had turned
on, only to see them Immediately ex-
tinguished, leaving an odor of charred
wood behind.
In the course of "a year or two the red
headed girl hopes TO be able TO impress
on the Ruthenian mind the fact that all
general principles are subject to modifi-
cation in practice, and particularly that
all iron pipes do not burst into flame
