A CHINESE NEW FEARS.
How the Day Is Celebrated In . Chinese
Quarter of San Francisco.

How the Day Is Celebrated In . Chinese
Quarter of San Francisco.
Chinatown of San Francisco was
keeping holiday, and all was gayety and
hustle.
The narrow, picturesque streets were
decorated with brightly-colored Ian
terms, while overhead above the roof
tops the yellow dragon-fags ioated
against a blue California sky.
1t was n sunny day in February, and
the streets were swarming with a null
titude of Chinese-men, women and
chiIdren-all arrayed in their richest
holiday attire. The children especially,
with their bright faces and black eyes,
and their pretty costumes, formed a
most pleasing and interesting feature of
this living oriental picture.
Everybody seemed to be happy and
good-natured; and ever and non as
a group of friends met, they stopped
and amid much ceremonious bowling ex-
changed the compliments of the sea-
son; for this festive occasion was
nothing more o less than the eelebra-
ton of the Chinese New Year.
The idea of celebrating New Years
day in February may strike some of
my readers as odd. But, since this has
been the Chinese custom from time i'm
memorial, and is older, by several thou
sand years, than our acceptance OF the
1st of January as the proper time, the
Chinese, perhaps, are not far wrong in
supposing themselves to be at least as
much in the right as ourselves. This
question, however, was of no con-
Germ to this merry holiday throng.
They were quite satisfied with the ar
rangement; and. with the utmost
belief in their own superiority, they felt
at heart an Unborn contempt-common
toallChinese-for' 'outside barbarians."
This term embraces all nations not liv-
ing within the sacred boundaries of
"the flowery Kingdom" and includes
the inhabitants of all the world; Inc
these unfortunate outsiders are broadly
divided into two classes-eastern and
western Observation-Disclosures Wores,
in st. Nicholas. -
An ardent admirer of Maurice Maeter-
linok describes him in the Figaro as the
most brilliant, sublime, moving poet
that h last AGO years has produced"
Max Nordau, on the contrary, charac-
terizes him as "a pitiable, mental Grip
Pile" And such is fame.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps considers "a
short story, properly fitted for the
higher magazines of u day, as one of
the very finest forms of expression. No
inspiration is too noble for it; no
amount of hard work is too severe for
il. There is a future for the short
story, which all our experiments and
achievements are building with a grad
ual and a beautiful architecture"

Burial Service La Read by . Phono-

The latest kind of funeral is one in
which the burial service is read by a
photograph. At Gravesend, near Coney
Island. several funerals have been con-
Quoted by photograph recently. Cler-
gymen are very few and far between IN
that section The undertaken of the
village saw hat something had to be
done to supply the want OF a clergy
man, and, being a man OF inventive
genius, hit upon a phonograph as De
ing the best way of solving h prob
lem.
He persuaded a duly ordained min
lister to read the burial service into h
cylinder of a phonograph, and also Sc
cared cylinders with appropriate
hymns and prayers. a huge trumpet
serves to intensity the sound and causes
the voice from the photograph to be
both loud and distinct. When h
cofhn has been laid beside the grave, b
photograph. which stands where the
minister ordinarily would be, is start
ed, and the ceremony begins.
First of all, a portion of the Scrip
lures is read, then a quartette renders
the HYMN Nearer, My God to Thee"
after which the Lords Prayer Is re-
cited. The photograph voice then
reads solemnly the burial service. Com
initial of the dead is followed by an
other prayer. Another hymn is sung
and then the photograph pronounces
the benediction. The effect is very SOL
emn, for the PARKWAY sound of the SON
orous voice seems somehow to intensi-
fy the meaning of the service.
No use, other than a religious one,
is ever permitted with the monograph,
and its big trumpet has never ground
out popular ballads. The undertaken
takes n really serious view of the in
strument, and when not in use it is
kept alongside the family Bible, with
a decorous Grape band depending from
the fiaring trumpet
The inhabitants of Gravesend have
become quite used to the monograph
and say it is just the thing for them.
