WAYS THAT ARE PECULIAR.

Chinese for the Omaha Exposition
Scattered Through California :.
The Chinese bureau is supposed 70 be
engaged in hunting for nearly 200 Chi
nese men and women who We're allowed
to land in this port recently for the pur-
pose of proceeding to the exposition ut
Omaha. where they were to take part rs
actors and exhibitors in the Chinese vii
lage, owned by the Nee Lee Village com
pany, says the San Francisco Call.
About week ago one of them, chair
mender, was arrested in Chinatown for
being illegally in the United States.
Chinese who pretend to be well-in-
formed on the subject say that 200 Of tho
pretended Omaha exhibitors have left
that place and are now scattered all over
the United States, principally in CaIifor-
MIA. They say also that the bond given to
the secretary of the treasury by the Nee
Lee Village company as a guarantee that
they will return all the exhibitors to
China will not be binding if that com
pany should fail and the village should be
attached by the sheriff. as was the case
with the Chinese exhibit at the Colunl-
bian exposition at Chicago in 1894.
The same Chinese say that twenty-five
of the women have come to this city from
Omaha, and are now occupants of dis
reputable houses here. 1t is said that
they have been offered for sale at $1,000
each, and that one girl was bought by Il
Chinese syndicate for $21GO. -,

Spanish Egotisnl,

The Spaniard, says Irving Rabbit in
the Atlantic, is filled with that subtle
egotism engendered by medieval re.ig-
ion which neglected mans relation to
nature and his fellows and fixed his at
tention solely in the problem of his per-
sonal salvation. In the olden time it was
not uncommon for pious Spaniard, on
dying, to defraud Ills earthly creditors in
order that he might pay masses for the
welfare Of soul-"made his soul his
heir" AS the Spanish say. And the Span
little capacity for trusting his fellow
men; for cooperating with them and
working disihterestedly to common end ::
he is impatient Of organization and dis
cipline,, and SO; as some one has re-
marked: he is warlike, without being mil
itary.: We MAY add that he is filled with
national pride without being really pat
riotinc. He still has iii his blood some
thing of the wild desert instinct Of the
Arab and the love of personal independ-
ence of the Goth. "You would rather
suspect, says an old English author, that
they did but live together for fear of
wolves" AS public servant the Span
lard is likely to take for his motto,
"Apres moi lie deluge.' las the Spaniard
puts it, Gel ultimo mono Sc ahoga' (the
last monkey gets drOwned).

The Ladies Of a British REGIMENT.

This regimental family is, as rule, by
Ito means an Eveiess Eden; several of the
officers will probably be married men,
and the ladies are usually recognized as
members of: the reg family, and
are quite as keen as their husbands to
maintain in every way the honor and
credit of the corps. The regiment like
wise feels that the married ladies belong
to it quite as much as do their husbands;
and outsiders are occasionally made to
repent an action, possibly unintentional,
which has been construed into a social
slight on one of these ladies. In some
regiments the ladies all dine at mess with
their husbands brother officers ON Christ
mas night; in others, other little friendly
customs exist, identifying them with the
corps; and in the case of all regimental
entertainments, the wife of the senior Of
ficer will. as a matter of course, receive
the guests. In view of what have said
above, the reader must not run away with
the idea that matrimony is at all encour
aged i'll the cavalry; very far from it. 1t
is recognized that human frailty is such
that some allowance must be made for
senior officers, but the married subaltern
is not likely to find himself popular,
and, unless very good chap. may re-
ceive strong hint to remove himself
and his bride to some other regiment.
The feeling about matrimony may be
summed up as follows: The colonel
should be married-a bachelor colonel in
the mess is not always a JOY forever:
majors. especially if grumpy and livery
in the mornings, may be married; cap
tains should not be married; and subal-
terms must be bachelors-though sad to
say, they often prove quite as susceptible
as their seniors. The chief reason for
| this feeling against matrimony is that it
is bad for the mess. Married officers
only pay half the usual mess subscrip-
tons through their agents, and as they
| seldom dine in the mess, the cost of
maintaining a proper establishment, be-
ing Invisible into fewer parts, falls more
heavily on the bachelor members. Also
the sociability of the mess suffers: and.
| though this is strictly between ourselves.

roll Of a regiment not always found to
| increase the harmony of its regimental
life. In some corps would-be benedicts

the mess as a compensation for their in
tended desertion..,From Social Life in

as The art Of keeping cool in the most sui
try weather Is one that il hardly under
stood.
a The nervous housekeeper is apt to bus
tie about when her nerves and her entire
system are exhausted by the effects of
2heat, and she becomes more heated in her
efforts to keep cool. Nine times out Of
ten she keeps the window open in her
efforts to get all the fresh air that can be
obtained. It il certainly an advantage
to admit the mir from outside the house,
The night air always cools the house
when it il admitted, but the midday air
is generally SO heated by the sun that it
is considerably warmer than that within
doors, and it should be carefully excluded.
Instead of opening all windows in the
house, they should be carefully shut and
shaded from the heat from early in the
morning and kept so until late in the af-
ternoon, when the direct rays of the sun
no longer fall on the earth. BY noun
tain, lake or by seashore there is usually
n late afternoon breeze, and as soon as
this comes the windows may be opened,
and the air then admitted is cooler than
that indoors. In cities where the heat of
brick walls and Of stone and concrete
pavements prevents the air from being
cooled off until late in the day, there is
often no perceptible change in the atmos-
phere until after shutdown, and then Is
the proper time to open doors and win
dows. - II =a.. r..
Seaside cities are usually affected by
the seaside breezes, SO that the change
may come earlier. Whenever the air out

then admit it. II. l. z... :

which air may freely enter the house and
