/ Chinese Mandarin at Dinner.
From the Cornhin Magazine.

In China, it appears, men generally eat
alone, and in any case it is not respectful
for either a wife or a son to sit and eat in
the masters presence. Though mandarins
occasionally give expensive feeds" in
which birds nests, sharks fins, sea slugs,
and other luxuries take a prominent part,
still in their private life they are usually
very simple. Even a viceroy will occas-
ionally squat on his heels with a plain
bowl of rice in his hand and shovel it
down with chopsticks like a common
coolle. The usual course, however, is cor
the meal to be served in the library
so called from having no books in it-or
other vacant apartment in the private
court There is never a regular set" re-
past-no knives, spoons or forks; no table
cloth. cruet-stand, mustard, pepper, salt,
bread or napkin. A large bowl of hot lice
II set down on tea-poy or bookshelf, an
other bowl, containing soup or rice water,
with perhaps a pigeons egg floating in it,
and a couple of small saucers containing
an ounce or two of pork, sour cabbage,
salt duck. smoked ham, shrimps. etc, are
placed near; the mandarin, placing tiny
morsel of tasty stuff on the end of his
tongue to encourage the rice down and
give it a zest proceeds solemnly to sho vel
away. Occasionally he may take a glass
or two of wine, or rather rice spirit, always
served hot; but half a dozen OF these would
scarcely amount in bulk to a single glass
of our sherry. The meal usually winds
up with a long pull at the soup or rice-wa-
ter; then a few cups of tea and a pipe or
two, and finally a snooze.

BULLET HOLE IN HIS TEMPLE.
Prominent Young Man of Americas
Badly wounded.

Americas, Ga, April 1.-THE shooting
of Charles A. Huntington this morning
either by accident or with suicidal in
tent, has created decided sensation here.
At o'clock this morning Mr.. Hunting
ton went into an adjoining bedroom at
his residence and requested c. O. Niles,
friend, to go for a physician.
Mr. Huntington was covered with blood
from a bullet wound in the right temple,
which penetrated his right eye and lodged
in the cartilage of his nose. His condi-
ton is precarious, and death may result.
No statement as to the cause of the
shooting can be obtained, though the gen.
orally accepted theory is that of suicide,
as Mr.. Huntington has been somewhat
Respondent on account of his health.
He is one of the wealthiest and most
prominent young men in Americas, a
member of the large firm of Sheffield
Huntington Company. and highly esteem
ed in business and social circles.

A TYPICAL EGYPTIAN VILLAGE.
Huts of Sun-Dried Mud, without Ven-
tiIati0n md Full of Vermfn

Huts of Sun-Dried Mud, without Ven-
tiIatiOn and Full of Vermin.
r. Talbot Kelly, the English artist, has
written for the April Century an article en-
titled San Artist Among the Fellaheen."
Mr.. Kelly says of q typical Egyptian viii
lage:
Built entirely of sun-dried mud, the
small, low huts, from considerations of
economy and space join one another
whenever possible. Narrow and tortuous
lanes, left at haphazard, form the only
thoroughfares, in which at first appears to
be a huge mound of mud, surmounted by
heaps of cotton and durra stalks, which
serve the dual purpose of thatch and fuel
Many of these lanes are merely outside
sac, ending abruptly in a neighbor's court
yard. and forcing one 10 retrace his steps
and try again Experience has taught me
that it is never wise to assume that the
streets lead in the direction at first sug-
gested; It is often safer to start the other
way, and trust to the winding of the path
to bring one out somewhere near the de-
sired spot.
AS rule, the villages have the appear
ance of Notifications, the outside walls be-
ing frequently without doors or windows,
and the lanes of the village terminating in
massive wooden doors, which are usually
closed at nightfall, and guarded on the in
side by the village guffrah, or night-watch-
men.
Each "house" has usually one door,
opening into the lane, small and low; and
the few windows, if provided at ALL are
merely Sits in the mud wall innocent OF
glass or shutter but ornamented with
lattice of split bamboo, placed crosswise
during building. Ventilation there is vir-
tualy none, the smoke of the fire of dung
or corn cobs finding its egress by the door,
and well-nigh choking the inhabitants,
which include not only the family, but
chickens donkeys, pigeons, goats, and
whatever live stock the inhabitants pos
sess.
Every effort to exclude air seems to be
made, the houses being too low to feel the
breezes, and the streets too narrow to
allow of any air circulation. The roofs,
covered with piles of rubbish for fuel,
afford accommodation for a second install
ment of goats, pigeons, cats and especial
ly dogs One wonders how life can be
supported in such conditions; yet the peo-
pie are well-condtioned and healthy, liv-
ing their lives in the fields, and returning
to their houses only to eat and sleep. In
sect life naturally abounds, the Egyptian
flea particularly being prodigy of manly
vigor and activity; but the Fellah has a
hide like a gamoos (the Egyptian buffalo,,
and even travellers like myself eventually
become impervious to its onslaught. Out
side the village, and almost at their very
doors, the filth and offal of the place are
| deposited, resulting in the development of
| that plague peculiar to Egyptian life
flies disgusting, but very necessary as
! scavengers, without which and the equally
| valuable rat these villages would quickly
| become uninhabitable.

PECULIAR VILLAGES.
Several Exist in England Whose
Houses Are Old Cars.

Several Exist in England Whose
Houses Are Old Cars.
From London Tit-Bits.
Scattered throughout the area of Great
Britain are numerous towns and villages
of a curious character. One large village
actually consist of old railway carriages,
even the little mission chapel being built
out of four large horse trucks. Another
village, with a population of LOO and a
ratable value of IS, O00 has neither church,
chapel nor school, the only public edlfice
being a pillar letter box.
Villages with single inhabitant are not
unknown. AT Skiddaw in Cumberland,
there is a solitary householder, who can
not vote because there is no overseer to
prepare a voters list. and no church or
other public building on which to publish
ones while the only ratepayer in certain
rural Northumberland parish has recently
declined to bear the expense of repairing
a road because he considers it quite good
enough for himself.
In the Isle of Ely is a little parish
which has been somewhat contemptuous-
ly described as a portion of land with
three or four houses and perhaps twelve
inhabitants" This place has no roads at
all, and is consequently put to no expense
in keeping them in repair. AS a matter of
fact, there are no expenses of any kind
and no rates.
One of the most remarkable villages in
this country is Kempton, near Bedford,
which is seven miles long and extremely
struggling. To walk from one end of the
village to the other occupies two hours.
Sometimes whole villages will practi-
cally disappear. A little Shropshire viii
lage has gradually sunk, until now it is
almost out of sight. 1t is built on a dis
used coal pit, and the sinking goes on
steadily every year. Now and then a tot
tering house is propped up to keep it
standing, but, in spite of all precautions,
buildings are constantly falling to the
ground and in course of time doubtless
nothing will be left but few bricks to
mark the spot where a village once stood.

TROOPS OF THE STATE.
Nilitiamen Could Soon BE Put in
Readiness for War.

Atlanta, Ga, April 4.-The Georgia SOL
diery are being rapidly gotten into condi-
ton for field duty at short notice.
Capt. Oscar Brown. acting adjutant gem
eral, speaking of the preparations going
forward in the state service, said: All
regimental commanders and commanders
of unassigned battalious have been inspect
ing and looking into the condition Of their
commands. AS yet, however, no reports
have been received on the progress of en-
istments recently ordered. None are ex-
pected for several days.
I'VE have enough white troops already
organized in. case all were called out to
make up a force of about 5000. This in
cludes infantry, cavalry, artillery, signal
corps and hospital and medical depart
ments.
'The troops are armed at present with
the Springfield rife, calber As. This IS
considered very effective weapon though
it has not the range or penetration of the
-Jorgen-Sen gun, 30 caliber, with
which the regular troops are armed. Many
officers in the regular service, however,
consider it as good a weapon as the one
now in use in all the regular army"
There are many things in the way of
equipment which these troops need, but,
Notwithstanding they could be Immediately
put in the field and with slight assistance
from general government, they could be
made comfortable, as men should be, for
field service during the summer months
The state now has on hand about 1OO-
900 rounds of rifle cartridges and 100000
rounds of carbine ammunition. To begin
a campaigns Ii is estimated that 100000
rounds for rifles and $4,000 for carbines
would be needed. Ammunition could be
easily supplied, however, and in case of
war the state militia need not be afraid of
going into battle with a short supply.
Capt. w. G. OBear, former inspector
general of rife practice, has been appoint
ed by the Governor TO act as assistant to
Capt Brown. pursuant to the recent recon-
mendation of the advisory board.
