WAGES IN CHINA.

In Spite of Their Lowness the Celostinls
Wax Fat.
How Chinese workman manages to
support his family and remain sleek and
fat ON the wages he receives is an ever
lasting mystery to the European and
American. Tho Chinese are people of
marvellous economy. They will support
a family, furnishing food, clothes. shell
ter, from small garden which they
call farm, but which in America
would not more than furnish an Amer
lean family with early vegetables.
In cities the laDoring men receive the
merest pittance. In Canton, where Ia
borers are better paid than in other parts
of China, skilled workmen live on these
wages: Shoemaker, 81 per month;
blacksmith, So per month; fine ivory
carver, $40 per month; tailor, 50 per
month; fine embroiderer, 81 per month;
designer, SO per month; silversmith, IS
per month";

the workmen support, i'll addition to
their temples and pagodas and priests,
which receive more in proportion than

idol makers, geomancors, fortune tell
ers, physiognomists, soothsayers, astrol-
ogers and interpreters Of dreams, who
exist by thousands and coin all the mon
ey they want. Another thing which
makes money for certain class is the
Chinese custom of burning great guam
titles of spirit money" imitation
coins, which are supposed to be legal
tender for dead relatives. One city
alone employs 100, 900 people in making
this cash for ghosts.
Peculiar superstitions embarrass the
workman. For instance, carpenters and
builders have to exercise great care in
selecting ridsepole for a house. 1t
must have neither cracks nor knots, and
in it small hole must be made and
filled with gold leaf and the whole
beam painted red. This insures good
luck for the owner Of the house.

persons The laborers receive from 81
to $40 per month, according to their
grade of work. Chicago News.

week they looked forward to n renewal
of her old vivaoity and the dispersal of
her letharPy But during the week it
was perceived that the ground she had
lost could only be recovered by miracle.
On Wednesday, March 90, her coun-
cilors entered her bedchamber to receive
her last instructions. She had none to
give The archbishop and bishops offered
up prayer at her bedside and she derived
some comfort from their ministrations.
In the evening she sank into quiet
sleep, such as she had sought without
avail for nearly month. She never
woke agaiL. About o'clock in the
morning Of March "a she departed this
life, mildly like lamb, easily like q
ripe apple from tho tree" When she
was examined after death, her ply
sioians reported that "she had body
of firm and perfect constitution, likely
60 have lived many years" Death was,
in fact, prepared to the last to bargain
with her for few more years of life,
but his terms implied an enfeeblement
of those faculties on whose unrestricted
exercise her queenly fame seemed to her
to depend By refusing to be party to
the truce she invited her overthrow
but she never acknowledged herself
vanquished She made no will, she be-
slowed no gift on any of the faithful at
tendants who wept beside her deathbed,
and she declined to guide her council in
the choice of successor. -Cornhill

The changes of fortune place people
sometimes in peculiar and embarrassing
positions. A good story is told Of Sir
Henry IrviHg, the famous actor. When
young man, earning his laurels and
comparatively unknown, Shakespeare's
play Much Ado About Nothing" was
about to be presented to the public by q
certain manager of prominence. Irving
had a part assigned to him, which he
diligently studied. Letter perfect in his
lines, he felt assured of ultimate sue
cess, but unfortunately the manager
disliked his acting of it and took occa.
sion to ccnsure him before the company,
much to his modification. Furthermore,
the manager took the part away and
gave him another less prominent, but
more difficult
Years went by, and Irving steadily
climbed to fame that brought him
knighthood, while the critical manager
gradually lost ground. one day, shortly
after Irving announced his intention of
producing Much Ado About Nothing, "
the old manager presented himself and
asked that part be assigned to him.
Irving granted the request and gave
him the very part he had forced him to
play years before. During rehearsal
Irving narrowly watched the manager a
acting and at the conclusion went up to
him and shook his hand after gravely
complimenting him upon his rendering
of the part, Then he promoted him to
the part from which he had been re-
duced. ~ never knew what Goals Of
fire. meant till them" was the remark
which the old actor and manager was
overheard to make when Irving retired.

1t is conceded that the person appointed TO the un

There Is good foundation for the statement that
