our local markets to the extent of a de-

In the home of every Chinaman yes

to have burned incense to Joss. Deco

n beverage made from rice were also
served.
Yesterday was largely devoted to ex-
changing calls. Every Chinaman called
upon every other Chinaman in Norfolk,
using red strips of paper as a visiting
card. The visitor leaves his card and
takes one of the hosts away with him.
In this way he keeps q record of the
calls he makes.
The Chinese are not uncharitable in
their observance OF New Year. The

Yesterday was the beginning OF the
257th year of the Ta-Tslng dynasty.

FAVoRs woRKHoUsE IDEA.

When the matter of employment of
Jail prisoners came up Mayor Johnston
placed himself squarely on record as
favoring making the prisoners work at
such primitive labor as carrying stone
for ten or twelve hours n day. He
urged that such profitless, resultless
labor for a few days would make the
average Jail inmate sick of his job and
tend to reduce the number of petty Of
tenders. He as squarely went on rec
ord as strongly opposed to jail labor
that would in any way compete with
honest labor.
