Isaac Josephs, slipper maker, sat up

slipper to resume his work. His unsteady

upon which his furnishing iron was

If they were burned, it was ruin.
With despairing shrek, he gave it

wife. She sprang out of bed, snatched
up a blanket and threw it upon the fire.

saved. The precious slippers were there,

Elections in 1897.

From one of the tables of the new
World Almanac it appears that in
1897 there will be six State elections,
FIVE Of which will give some indica-
tion of how the country feels about
the new administration. The first is
In Rhode Island on April I, too early
to be of much value. The FIVE 9TH
ers are in the fall.
On November Massachusetts,
Ohio, Iowa and Virginia representing
in a way important sections of the
Union, hold elections for all State Of
fees, and on November s Now York
elects Judge Of the Court of Ap-
peals and members of the Assembly.
On the same day the Greater New
York will choose its first government
under the new charter.
The results of these elections will
at once be seized upon as the basis of
speculation as to the next presiden-

CURIOUS CUSTOMS.

The Things Which Most Strongly Impress
the Traveller In China.
One might gradually get accustomed,
writes Spencer Payne in the London Mail,
to the fashion of shaking hands with one
Eelf instead Of with the friend you are glad
to meet, but no Englishman could ever be
expected to understand the social condi-
tions under which lady stands while the
gentleman sits down, and the former is
told how old she looks as a pleasant COM
pliment And yet it is these and hun
dred other peculiarities that make China
famous
The feature of Chinese character which
most impresses foreigner Is it's repose.
The trading and laboring classes work in
cessantly Is to 16 hours o day, seven days
a week-there is no Sabbath--but it Is all
done in calm, methodlcal way, without
the slightest hustle or restlessness. The
Chinese are never in hurry, and the
great speed Of railway is naturally alb
horrent to people for centuries accus-
toned to the slow pace Of sedan chair or
wheelbarrow.
Except In the immediate neighborhood
Of the European settlements there appear
to be no longer any country roads. The
needs of the population made roads seem
waste of land that could be utilized for the
cultivation of cotton and rice, and In the
parts visited there was nothing but
wheelbarrow tracks to connect one village
with another. The rivers, the Grand canal
and the creeks supply all the means Of
communication and traffic with the inte-
rior, but life in the barges and junks on
these waterways affords only another pic

ing Of fractions, Chinese in the diplo-
matte service once asked me TO explain the
sixteenth Of a mile. He understood half a
mile and a quarter of a mile, but it took
me some time to explain an eighth, and
after 20 minutes dissertation on the pro-
portions of sixteenth he politely expressed
his belief that was right but that it
would have to be expressed in some other
way.
Glancing rapidly at other features of the
Chinese character, let us take the question
Of integrity. There are thieves in China
as elsewhere, but as the whole system of
administration is openly based upon free
system of fees which we should stigmatize
as bribery and corruption-a system per-
yading all quarters, from the tsung Ii
yamen and vice regal palaces to the hum
blest Office in taotai's yamen-it would
be unfair to contrast our notions of hon.
esty with those of the Celestial empire.
Nevertheless in their own way the Celes-
tials are scrupulously honest A Chinese
merchant will move heaven and earth to
swindle you in commercial transaction,
but once the bargain is concluded and his
word had been passed you may rely upon

of bar silver wheeled, open to the public
gaze, through the streets of Shanghai by
an ordinary cody entirely unescorted. Chi
nese domestic servants are apt to pilfer
food from the kitchen and even trifling ar
ticles from the dwelling rooms, but old
European residents leave jewelry, bank
notes and silver dollars broadcast about
their apartments. And when l have ex-
pressed surprise at such carelessness, they
have assured me that they are never rob-

me also to bear testimony to the absolute
trustworthiness Of Chinese servants.

A QUEER ELOPEMENT.

"Well, yes, that's about all it amounts
to-a poems hut. However, Augustinita
will always give you cup of excellent
coffee. And when the trains are late in
either direction, you have no alternative
but to accept the hospitality of old
mamma, as the railroad men call her. !"
And my pleasant acquaintance of an
hour or so led me to the small entrance
of hut thatched with tules. The little
mud structure was built against the face
of hill. There were birdcages filled
with variety of beautiful birds and
such other evidences of civilization as a
goat, turkey and jardinieres of flow
ers, yet the habitation belonged to the
age of the cave dwellers, decided, as
groped my way apparently into the bow
els Of the earth.
After few moments my eyes grew
accustomed to the half light, and I could
see quite well.
"Wow wow-wow!" growled heavy
bass voice from the inner room. The
words were indistinguishable. e
"What deep voice that man hasp' I
said innocently. Mexican men, as a
rule, have such light voices!"
''That's not man; it's Augusti-
nita," replied my friend.
am acquainted with that pleasant
little custom of Mexico which holds to
childhood's tender diminutives long aft
er old age has fallen on one. Still, I
confess, Augustinita-which would be
"dear little Gussie'' in English-was a
slight shock. She was of huge bulk, and
her old face was like withered, brown
apple for wrinkles; but her eyes were as
bright as stars in a tropic sky and she
had on that old countenance most
shrewd expression.
Augustinita delivered our orders to
some one in the farther cave-I cannot
call it room--in her rumbling bass,
put her long, brown cheroot back in her
mouth and waddled behind mat made
from reeds hung from the ceiling.
She brought out clean, white cloth,
which she spread with care, and on that
put some American plates and cups and
a Guadalajara water bottle. I sat on a
long bench drawn close to the table,
watching the old woman.

her face. "Why, she's a beauty" I

"She has a good figure" said my

"but you get straight look at her, and
you won't think her such a beauty"
If long, red braids, soft, brown skin
and limpid, gray eyes can make beauty,
then was Manuela beautiful. On closer
examination, however, her> face lost
much of its beauty, SO coarse was her
red mouth and so hard and bold her ex-
preston.
She switched her skirts and put her
hands on her hips and her head to one
side, after a fashion I had known but
not loved well in time gone by.
