Home Duties - . indian Children.

There are home duties as well as
pleasures for the children. Boys are re-
quired to look after the ponies, to lend
a hand III planting, to help in the har-
vest, and they are often made to do ac-
tive duty as scarecrows i'll the newly
planted iield, where, like little Bopeep.
they fall fast asleep. The girls help to
gather wood, bring water and look after
the younger ones. As they grow older
they are Taught to cut, sew and make
garments. LII former days, the old Oma-
has say, no girl was considered mar
riageable until she had learned to tan
skins, make tents and clothing, d
meat for drying and could cultivate
corn and beans, while Il young man who
had not learned to make his own wea-
pons and to he a skillful hunter was not
considered fitted to take upon himself
the responsibilities Of the proyider Of a
family.-'Home Life Among the In.

Never Drink on the Water.

1T is a curious fact, easily verified,
that domesticated aquatic fowls do not
drink while they are swimming" re-
marked NJ. A. Fulton OF Arkansas.
IAN old farmer friend of mine down
in Arkansas called my attention to this
a short time ago, and | have since been
closely observing the habits Of ducks,
geese and sWans in this regard to see ii
there was any variation from the rule
laid down by my friend. I have thus
far failed to ind the least exception.
1.-TWO weeks ago I watched a flock Of
tame geese nearly al day to see if one
Of them would not dip his beak down
III the water while padding along it,
surface and take a drink. One shrawd
old gander twice startled me by swim
ming ashore and satisfying his thirst.
after reaching terra frml, by guzzIing
copiously and with manifest relish,
from the water along the bank and
then swimming out to deep water
again. Even the goslines went through
the same performance when they grew
thirsty. would say the geese did this

sweeping accusation Of idiocy against
the already too much maligned goose
without including IN the Indictment al
other domesticated aquatic fowls. Prob

to the fact that when young these ami

CHINESE sCUEEZES.
Official Promotions Co Hand In Hand
With Enormous Eribes

With Enormous Srihes.
Prior to each promotion the official
has to be received i'll audience By the
emperor. But this is a very costly af-
fair, for no ones presence i'll the cap
ital city is recognized until he has
bribed the gatekeeper to register his
name as having passed into the cit?
and duly report his advent. That Ii
Hung Chang had to pay an enormous
sum ii tips and bribes-over 81, 000, 900
-on his last visit to Pekin5 is a
matter Of common knowledge, bat the
narration Of two instances that have
come directly under my notice may per-
haps serve to make the English reader
realize even more wildly how ~inexora-
BILE and how shamelessly open is the
systematic corruption.
The governor Of kiang-sa province,
who was an intimate friend OF Prince
kung, thought TO take advantage Of his
great influence by coming into the city
without bribing the gatekeeper. When
he called upon his royal friend, Prince
kung exclaimed: .'When did you come?
] cannot possibly recognize your pres
ence, for I have not seen your name in
the chang-wen-men report" and he
had to return and pay double the usual
bride to the gatesaeper before Prince
Kung would receive him. Even more
remarkable is the case Of Tso-Tchuug-
Tong, one of the greatest Of our gener-
ais, who, having suppressed the Moham-
,,.Ia, rp1aJl.o,, -, fT,,J-o-+.,, t..J
quired for the Celestial empire territory
about half as large as China itself. The
emperor, who held him in high esteem,
wished to see him and sent a special
summons calling him to an audience at
Picking.
When on his coming to the city the
chung-wen-men, Or gatekeeper, de-
manded $4,000 tael, lie refused to pay
anything. But even he was not officially
reported, and after he had remained
several months in Pekin, waiting for al
audience, the emperor issued another
ediet, asking why he had never come.
Tso-Tchung-Tong responded by telling
the whole story, adding that, having
spent all his own and his family mon
ey Oh the support of soldiers during the
war, he had no means with which to
pay such a bride. He appealed to the
emperor graciously to relieve him of the
imposition. In reply the emperor said:
"This 1.-THE feeling Of the gatekeeperl ia
a general and ancient usage, and the
viceroy and generalissimo must submit
to it like another And as T~sO-Tchung-
Tong really had not the money, his
friends raised a subscription, the dow
ager empress herself contributing half
the required sum. -Fortnightly Review.

ADVERSE CRITICISM.

What flowers I had in one fair knot were
bound,
And SO / laid them'on a public stall,
Wondering would any one take note at all,
Or, taking note, TO praise them would be found.
A keen eyed critic turned the nosegay round,
Then cried, No true flowers these!'' and let
it fall
"Mere weeds that grow against the church's
WALL
And what coarse thread about the stalks is
wound"
IT'S true. I fear me, dandeiions and Grass

Fool Killing.

The condition Of mind which is IA
vorable to mysticism, superstition and
reverie is unfavorable to life, and the
continuance Of such conditions leads to
death. On the billboard across the street
| saw just now the advertisement of 4
lecture on the 'sethical value Of living
i'll two worlds at once" Whoever TINS
lives IN two worlds is certain soon to
prove Inadequate for either.
If all men sought healing from the
blessed handkerchief Of the lunatic or
from contact with old bones or old
clothes; if all physicians used revealed
remedies or the remedies nature finds
for such disease; if all business were
conducted by faith; if all supposed
natural rights Of man were made
the basis of legislation; if all the pro-
team phases of that which Zangwill has
%cleyerly called the higher foolisIlness''
were worked out in action, the insecu-
rity of these beliefs would speedily an
pear. Not only civilization but civilized
man himself would vanish from the
earth. The safe shelter Of the cave aud
hollow tree would be the cradle Of tie
new man and the new woman Tie
long and bloody road Of ogre
through fool killing would for centuries
be traversed again. The fool lives Lii So
ciety only by sufferance Of the sane; tie
weak, By the altruisla Of the strolla.
That is strong which endures. Might
does not make right, but that which III
right will justify itself ~ becoming
might. What We call social virtues "
the elements Of race stability. -Dayfs

WANTS HAMS, NOT ARTISTS.

aon e want any more artists, said
the music hall manager who gave ne
b~urlesque. 1.-THE people ! want are
hams and nothing but hams. Whenever
I get an application from an actor who
calls himself an artist, I'm going to
tear up the letter for fear | might lose
my presence CT mind and engage him.
If the plays Il success, the artist did IL.
Ii it's q failure, it was the author.
Sometimes I wonder, when / hear these
artists talk, what is the use of their ever
having plays written for them at all.
They're independent Of the ~dVainatists,
and | should think they woGla JssJ step
Oh the sta;:e and talk their plays. But
they don't do thas. They merely coz
tent themselves with refusing to speak
this or that line because it's rotten.
substituting something Of their own,
and then saying its the fault of tie an
thor that noDoay laughs at their stupid
gags. I happened TO have a bunch oi
'em here, and that lasted me for tho
rest of my life. Hereafter I'm out Of
it,
what IRE artists?'' asked the inno-
cent
They're chiefly actors who're . n
demned to come and act in the music
halls for three times As much as they
ever got i'll their lives before. What
they do is to call everything rotten, de-
eide that they know more about tho
play than the man who wrote it and
walk around as though it were beneath
them TO do anything moro like acting
than that when it came to the question
of acting III q music hall"
And hams, what are they-the sort
Of hams You meant
They're chiefly variety actors accas-
toned to hard work, rough maybe, with
a quality Of ges there that makes the
audience interested. They've come up,
and the artists think they've gone down.
The difference is between trying I'd do
something well, because its the best
opportunity you've had, and taking no
interest at all il it because you've been
in the habit CT doing what you think ia
bcttor.'
