A Chinese New Years.

Chinatown of San Francisco was
keeping holiday, and all was gaiety and
hustle.
The narrow, picturesque streets were
decorated WITH -brightly-colored Ian
terms, while overhead above the roof
tops, the yellow dragon-tlags tloated
against Il blue California sky.
1t was n sunny day in February; and
the streets We're swarming with a null
titude of Chinese-men, women and
children-all arrayed in their richest
holiday attire. The children especially,
and in 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 anon, as n
group of friends met, they stopped and
amid much ceremonious bowling eX-
changed the compliments of the season.;
for this festive occasion was nothing
more nor less than the celebration of
the Chinese New Year.

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
first 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 concern to
this merry holiday throng. They were
quite satisfied with the arrangement;
and, with the utmost belief in their own
superiority they felt at heart an inborn
contempt-common to all Chinese-for

for the fur animals, as, according to
their calculation, the clothes of these
unfortunate wretches, however bad,
are worth more than five kopecks (21h
cents, the price they obtain for the
American" squirrel. While crossing
these buriat settlements the bradiaga is
afraid to reveal himself, even for OBJ
tanning food and is invariably forced
through hunger to commit theft.
Their mode of attack is simple. Tray
elers are never molested in the day
time. 1t is only at night that these
blackguardS attempt their nefarlous
work. The most dangerous hours are
between and u a. m, when travellers
who have been on the qui vive all night
somewhat relax their vigilance. A
couple of the thieves are told off to
cut the traces of the tarantass. two
more to seize and bind the yemstchik

In Yenesesk and Tobolsk provinces
there is a sort of understanding be-
tween the villagers and the runaways.
The peasants not only do not hunt the
bradaga, but give them food and other
necessaries. The tramps, on their side,
even when in superior numbers, never
attack the inhabitants except in cases
where it is absolutely necessary to in
sure their own safety. Such mutual
concessions arise not only from habit,
but from mutual interest.

a fearful freedom it is! A never end
ing struggle in a murderous climate,
with the tortures of hunger and con-
slant hiding from pursuit, to end in
finally being caught, put into irons and
sent back to the mines from which
he has escaped. Such is the career of
the "bradiaga." Sometimes a whole
life is thus spent in tramping, being
caught, brought back and running
away again, and so on until death lib
