CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOM,
Calling to Mind the Blessing of Having
Written Characters

SsSAAn6 W illuu In6 bleSSlng or. having
Written Characters.
In a work entitled can Australian
in China occurs a description of the
queer practice in China of honoring
waste paper by committing it to the
flames. In the center of the green
stands the hollow pillar, in which Chi
nese waste paper is reverently burnt.
when letters were invented" the
Chinese say, ''Heaven rejoiced and hell
trembled.'' Reverence the charac-
ters," is an injunction of Confucius
which no Chinaman neglects to follow.
He remembers that she who uses let
tered paper to kindle the fire has ten
dement's, and will have itchy sores;;"
he remembers that che who losses
lettered paper into dirty water, or
burns it in a filthy place has 20 demer-
it's, and will frequently have sore eyes
or become blind;" whereas, che who
gets about and collects, washes and
burns lettered paper has 5000 merits,
adds ~ years to his life, and will be-
come honored and healthy, and his chill
dren and grandchildren will be virtuous
and flial." But his reverence has strict
limits, and while he reverences a piece
of paper upon which a moral precept
is written, he often thinks himself ab-
solved from reverencing the moral pre-
cept itself.

DEAF MUTES DANCE.
A Jumping Mummy on the Piano Keeps

A jumping Mummy on the Piano Keeps
:, the Step for Them.
A social club of deaf mutes exists in
Warsaw since 1888, and as there are
a large unmber of persons thus afaict.
ed in the capital Of Russian Poland, the
club is doing very well. During the
last week of carnival the club arranged
a ball, and in order to enable the mem
Der to dance to the music in time, a
very curious plan was adopted, which
proved quite efficient. A large paper
doll was rugged up on the piano, and
the player, also a deaf mute, who fur
nished the music, which, of course,
could not be heard by the members OF
the club, used a pedal to make the
paper figure move up and down in time
with the piece played. A large sign
alongside announced the character of
the dance, and thus it became possible
for the deaf mutes to enjoy the dances
as if they were not afflicted with their
organic shortcomings. Besides that,
they were spared the agony Of those
who could hear, for some wag had tam
pered with the piano, which was fright
fully out of tune, even the player never
noticing that fact. The deaf mutes
danced into the early morning hours
and unanimously voted the entertain
ment a magnificent success.

DEAD, VET ALIVE.
An Interesting Enoch Arden Case in an
. =. English Court.

An Interesting Enoch Arden Case in an
=. English Court.
A curious Enoch Arden case, in which
the lord justice of appeal had to inter
vene in order to bring a man to life
again legally, has just been decided in
England. Forty two years ago WON
an married a sailor in the British navy,
who deserted, went to the United
States and was not heard of again for
So years. Six years after his disap-
pearance she married another man,
with whom she lived for Is years, but
from whom she at last obtained a Judi
clal separation and aimony in 1892.
The second husband pleaded that his
marriage was null, as. her first hus-
band was alive at the time, but the Jury
in the divorce court found tn at the man
was dead. Last year husband No. 2
discovered husband 4 0. i, brought suit
again and produced him in court, where
he was fully identified, but the Judge
held that as a jury had declared he was
dead, he could not admit that he was
al and dismissed the suit. The appel
late judges seem to be of his opinion,
Tor they refused to allow the appeal and
annul the marriage on. the ground Of
the mans being alive till the second
husband had given security that be
would pay the woman an allowance.

TESTING CHRONOMETERS.

The Interesting Process Of Adjusting
Z Watches for Temperature.
Before a. frst-class watch is sold it
has to go through variety of tests or
"adjustments,' and one of the most
important is the adjustment for tenn
perature. E:...-
Chronometers are adjusted for tenn
peratures varying from so degrees to
90 degrees, as a. rule, but some makers
especially in France-cool them down
to zero, and often they are heated to
100 degrees. Beyond this point it is
dangerous to heat them, as the oil
would be liable to injury, and even the
works might suffer. "
Pocket watches are adjusted for tenn
peratures varying from IS degrees to 95
degrees. The process consists in put
ting the watch in a closet tting case,
and placing this in cold room, or
refrigerator with ice, and leaving it
there for some time, altering the works
so as to make it keep regular time.
Then it is very gradually heated, great
care being taken not to let the moisture
in the warm air condense upon it.
Next it is put in a specially con-
structed oven, and heated to 80 or 100
or 100 degrees, the machinery being
again adjusted to go regularly. Chren-
ometers are usually kept week in the
cold chamber, then week in the hot,
and again a week in the cold chamber.
After that they are ready to make voy-
ages to any port between the equator
and the poles without losing or gaining
a minute.

Miners VS.. People

Is
8 hereis a struggle brewing between the
great mining corporations of the north
,ern part Of. the state and the people by
which it is expected to eyade legitimate
taxation; and also to lessen the prices
paid for the lease of state mining lands
whereby the revenues from the source
and the valuable belongings of the state
schools and other public institutions will
be practically fitted away. IF the exist
ing dynasty is continued these schemes
will be carried out, for every manipulation
who has purpose to advance in opposi-
slon to the peoples interest, has pooled
issues and is making a vigorous fight
against John Lind. They do not assail
his personal character nor impugn his
honesty or integrity, but by himsey,
foolish pretexts, such as we have quoted
as to inconsistency in party utilization,
OF as TO his views upon some issue that
has no pertinency to the position for
which he is named, seek to divert the
votes Of time servers and the masses who
have not the nerve and independence to
think and act for themselves. The argu-
ments (?) are having their effect, but
bhoge who proclaim themselves over their
own names exemplify their own ignomy
gather than assail the high standard of
integrity and governmental reform for
which Mr.. Lind stands.-Mankato

That u How q Southern Congressman
Regards His Tot.
Some people may think that a con-
gresham saves a pile of money out Of
his salary, : said a well -known southern
congressman, who was talking to a
Washington Star reporter on thevicis
STUDIES Of running for Office, and es-
pecially for congress but a man has to
be a small walking bank to accommo-
date the large number Of his friends
and supporters who need a little money
for some urgent matter. In my state
we have to make campaigns and appear
before the people at meetings. Well, I
have never attended meeting but that
I did not have some kind of a subscrip-
ton poked into my face. Somebody
wants something for a church and for
missionary N Is purposes or for helping
some fell low who has been burned out.
You can't avoid subscribing, and
have to head the list with the largest
sum. Then about the time you think
you are through with having your leg
pulled some lazy fellow will walk uD
and say: How do, gineral? I had ter
quit my work ter come out and hear YOU
terday, and thunk yer mout Civ me
a dollar While you have the greatest
contempt for the man, YOU. give him the
dollar.
'"When you leave the meeting youare
out anywhere from 500 to $50. These
are just few instances of what a candi-
date has to spend money for. After he
gets through thecampaign and is elected
he has to furnish every dead beat from
his district who should happen to come
to Washington with money. I've &C
tually given them money and railroad
tickets to get home and have them go
back and work against me-"

Talking about straws in this campaign,
here is one that is worth a whole stack
OF "yotes on trains," etc. Every gold
advocate has always been a goldbug.
There are no conversions from silver to
gold. You never hear of bimetallist
who has changed his mind and become a
gold monometallist. Perhaps Mr.. Thur
ston should be excepted, but reference
is now made to genuine conversions.
On the other hand, there are thousands
of silver men in every district who used
TO believe in the single gold standard
but are now enthusiastic for bimetallism.
There are thousands daily changing their
ninds, and the changes are all from gold
to silver and Bryan. Since all the con
yerts are coming to the silver side, who
can doubt the success of the silver cause?

IRONY OF FATE.
Ii Pursues Two Eminently Respectable
Ladies Who Gould Not Agree.

A0 fursues Two E1ninently Respectable
Ladies Who Could Not Agree.
Not long ago there were two ladies
stopping at the same boarding house.
They were single ladies, be it said, and
both highly respectable. But for some
reason, says the Minneapolis Times,
known only to themselves, they
couldn't get along" and matters went
between them from bad to worse till
they 'Fquit speaking"
They both got tired, Of course, living
in the same house with a mortal enemy,
and finally both determined to move
Arrangements were made, and, as luck
would have it, both moved the same
day. Lady No. / loaded up her house
hold goods in the morning, and in the
afternoon a dray pulled up and car
ried away the trunk, shawlstraps, and
other effects Of lady No. 2.
Lady No. was just composing her
self to- view the surroundings of her
new lodging place, when a wagon
stopped at the front door and began to
unload a collection of articles unmis-
takably feminine. She sized up the
trunk and went downstairs, filled with
a horrible suspicion, to interview the
landlady. .~~
Her suspicious were true. They had
moved into the same house,
There is no more to the story. Of
course. fhey should have made up their
differences and lived in peace and char
~ity ever after. But they did not. Lady
No. 2 never got her trunk inside of the
house. ,,>

That was very kind of the yard-master
Of Proctor Knott to ask General Manager
Mcbride, Of the D., NJ. & n, how the
employees Of the road should vote. It
was also kind of Mr.. Mcbride to advocate
The cause of his employer. There was
some fear that he might be in favor of
Free silver, but now all doubt is dispelled.
Being good and faithful slave he advis-
es all the other slaves on the plantation
bhat it is their duty to vote just as the
master desires them to. To be sure, he
forgot to say anything about the iron
ore combine putting up the price and
restricting production when he men
toned the recent reduction of shipment
from the mines. But like the good man
that he is, he didn't forget to say that
free silver agitation is the cause of it all.
He forgot to mention that his road might
haul great deal more ore il it would
put the price of carrying down to reas-
enable basis, but he did not fail to re-
mind the employees that if free silver
carries and the price Of everything else
should advance they need not expect ad.
vance IN their wages. The truth is that
they need not expect an advance at any
time unless the road is compelled to pay
it. Mr.. Mcbride exhibited bis hostility
to labor last spring when he refused to
allow union workmen to even seek work
on the company's dock. He forgot to
say that through the approaching power
Of money, caused by the single gold stan
dard, Mr.. Rockefeller was enabled to
squeeze the life out of the men who dis
covered the Mesaba and built the road,
thereby adding millions of dollars to his
fortune while the workmen in the iron
mines were working for starvation wages
or living on the county. He forgot to
say that this very year the iron monop-
;olies have earned immense dividends
while the business men of the iron ranges
have been forced to the wall, competition
has been strangled and labor wonderfully
distressed.-Biwabik Range.

Portions Of the Earth That Approach
Climatic Perfection.
For an nhabi ttsant of the north tenn
perate zone the most nearly correct
climate would probably be the island
Of Tasmania, which enjoys warmth
without heat and freshness without
cold, and moreover possesses a climate
so equable that the average tempera-
ture ranges from A. to 63 degrees, Civ,
ing mean Of about So. In addition
to this, or possibly in consequence of it,
and the purifying effect of the sea
breezes, there is practically no disease
save what the abitants are RESPONSE
bic for. There are many groups of is
lands in the South Pacific which fully
deserve the name Of earthly paradise,
but they have the fault of being too,
much like paradise. The valley of Cash
mere in northern India and of Quito
in Ecquador possess climates which
are almost perfect, but they suffer the
disadvantage of q great distance from
the sea. Australia is too dry and New
Zealand too damp to approach perfec-
ton; but Tasmania possesses the happy
mean which affords health and comfort
without the danger of degeneration
which is the penalty of more luxurious
chimes. Of places near home, the Isle
of Man probably most nearly fulflls
the conditions of the question. Al
though SO much farther north, it's aver
age temperature is almost as high and
quite as equable as that of the Isle of
Wight, but it possesses the additional
advantage of freedom from the fogs,
which are the greatest disadvantage
of the shores of the English channel.
