What Becomes OF Furniture Sold at
Auction.

business, the same as there are in every
other trade, says the Detroit Tribune.

Of the ways of doing business. decides
to call some one in the secondhand
furniture trade. who wishes her to

The fact is duly advertised. the red
flag is swung from the porch, the
neighbors call and walk curiously
through the rooms, eying, spying and
whispering. Their gossip concerns the
sadness of the thing. the shoddy furni-
ture, the nice things. how bad it is,
how glad they are. how sorry theyiare.

The absorbing ambition of the Mongolian is to live well and be exclusive in his associations. For long ages every Chinaman of rank bears three names, and an invnriable mark of pleboian birth is to bear only two. Though born the son of high magistrate, the un- written laws of caste by which he was surrounded forbade Show Ho Joe to work in his own country, and by theso same laws he was compelled to live in a style beftting his station.
