Chinese Compliments.
CFrom the Youths cumpauion)


There is one point in which Chinese etiquette.
so often absurd. Is much more sensible than ours.
That is in its failure TO regard the imputatinn
Of mature age as a discredt to either man or
woman or, on the other hand, the imputation
Of youtliulncss Is a compliment TO persons Of
either sex. An example of Chinese polt0nsss,
connected with the visit Of the Prince and Prn
cess Henry of Prussia TO Shanghai Is amusing
as it reflects own false notion Of the COM
plimcntary in such matters.
The German prince and princess were visiting,
q notable mandarin, one of whose first questions
to the prince-ths being an inyarigbe matter Of
Chinese noiteness-was:
How old are you?"
"A little more than thirty-siN," answered the
prince, smiling.
Indeed" said the mandarin. Your high
uess appears fifty"
The mandarin then turned to the Interpreter
Herr Yoight. 4 German-and inquired the prin-
cess age She answered, Thirty two" The in
terpreter interpreted. and the mandarin made 4
remark in Chinese evidently intended TO be com
plimentary. The interpreter blushed uneasily, and
hesitated TO translate the remark The prince saw
the difficulty and laughingly commanded:
'out with il. Voight!
''Hc says" the interpreter then translated to
the princess. THAT your hghness looks like
sixty"
He hae meant it well, and of course the prin-
cess had sense enough not to take it i'll.

TO md hundreds of young eels wriggling
about his grass plot in the morning before
the sun dries up the dew. These GELS
come from the creek TO the ground, and
he has never been able to explain just
why they do so.
Mr.. Harding has lived beside the race

upon them by the pike until yesterday.

A PIscAToRIAL BATTLE.
Pike md Eels Indulge in "a Fight to
a Finish.


Trenton. n. J., July 16.-Eels caused
Sam in the raceway to the feeder of the
Delaware and Raritan Canal at Scudder's
Falls yesterday. Chased by school of
Delaware Greek pike. apparently the entire
1June hatch of eels at the falls ran up the
swift oyerfoy to escape death in the sharp
Jaws of the Pike. and clogged the sIx-foot
stream until It overfowed into the yard
Of Edward Harding, adjoining the so-called
Taceway.
Thousands OF eels were killed In the Jam,
thousands were left high and dry in Hard
ing's yard when the pike retreated, and
hundreds of pike were picked up on land
after having jumped from the stream in
their frantic efforts TO cross the leaders OF
their school and feed on the young eels.
The sight Of millions OF eels jammed In
