Continental Newspapers.

The. person who would wish to learn
something about the chief newspapers of
foreign countries must first grasp the
fact that they arc in two or three most
important points very different from the
great English journals with which he
is so familiar. In the first place they
seldom make any striking pretense of be-
ing "up-to-date' news purveyors for the
public. in the sense that we understand
that term in relation to the British and
American press. in fact, they give some
few items of fresh news here and there
i'll their pages, but it is in most cases a
very desultory kind of rechauTe.
Secondly, newspapers Oh the continent
are seldom or never sold so widely Oh
the streets to every passcrby as ours are;
they are nearly all subscribed for by ad-
vance payments. and then are delivered
by hand or post at the houses of the
various subscribers as they are issued.
1t is true that in Paris, Berlin and
one or two other large towns. one can
buy paper at the kioskS which are in
many parts of the city. but this sys-
tenn is nothing like SO universal as are
our news agents shops.
Again. the continental papers. almost
without exception. devote large part of
their space to short story, or continual
ton Of serial one, daily; and they have,
comparatively speaking, much more space
given up to advertisements than our pa
pers have.
Lastly, there are few papers of Eu-
rope outside our own country which ex-
ercise any important effect on the pub
lie opinion regarding political events,
such as is exercised every day by the
great London and New York Journals.
Though foreign papers pretend to be lib
cral or conservative, as the case may
be. the meaning of these terms to them
is quite different from what it is to u.s..
Koughly speaking, they may be taken
to be of two classes, either supporters
of the government or opposed to it; a
few pretend to be of 10 politics at ALL
Pail Mall Magazine.

How John Chinaman Marries

A somewhat superfuous law of this
country shuts out John Chinaman from
citizenship. That is no grief to John.
He doesn't yearn for the enlightenment
of Western civilization typiied by foreign
devils who attempt to restrict his use of
the right of gambling: What he wants to
do is to live here on 20 cents day while
| making 50 a day, and, as soon as he gets
enough surplus, go back to his ancestral
nails, where he can support a family in
great comfort Oh something like II cents
day. The copyright Oh this article
doesn't prohibit persons with Il taste for
| mathematics from using these figures as
a basis for calculating how long it will be
before under present conditions America
has permanent Chinese population. OF
course John sometimes marres here and
settles down. His wife may be Chi
nese woman to whom he was betrothcd
years before, when she was a baby, and
who comes over here in the steerage and
under chaperonage to fulfill the Oblica-
ton entered into by her parents, and to
find herself the center of very consider
able celebrations extending through the
three streets of the quarter. In the last
wedding of this sort the bride was 81 and
the bridegroom "a. The betrothal had
lasted since her second year. More often
the bride is one of the debauched girl
victims Of the quarter, and the wedding
ceremony is after the American custom,
for which the Chinaman has small rc-
gard 1t matters the less in that the wife
commonly dies in year or two, rarely
leaving any offspring. Opium does it.
10 the Monaghan it is one of the bless
ings of life. To the Caucasian it is men,
tai, moral and physical decay: then in
sanity: then death. There is a third-cl
of marriages not pleasant to contemplate:
the union of Cinnamon to young Sunday
school teachers. There was time, and
not long ago, when association of this kind
resulted in several weddings. Many more
might have followed had not several out
spoken and courageous cergymen deliv-
cred warnings from the pulpit of the folly
and danger Of such alliances; whereupon
they were, as a matter Of course, de-
nounccd in round terms from many other
pulpits as enemies to the propagation Of
