The Civil War was over long ago, but
in spite of the friendship between the
North aud the South the prisoners of
war have not been all released.
There still lives in Minneapolis one

Chinese Ignorance.

One Of the delights of travel in China
Is the innocent ignorance Of the people.
They think themselves the most sophis-
ticated and heaven enlightened people
on this earth, and so make their native
childishness the more engaging. They
live very close to the primeval super
stitions, and the gods and devils, be-
tween whom they make little practical
distinction. command their healthy re-
spect. Our slipper boat men stuck
bunch of incense sticks into the bank
at the foot of some bad rapids. to pla-
cate the favor of the spirit of the rap
ids, who, indeed. was so far pleased as
to let us ascend. Our house boat ad-
miral laid out an elaborate Offering of
chicken and rice and soup and pork and
chicken blood and lighted candles as
we entered the North River on our
downward journey. What is this for,
Captain?' we asked. For the enjoy
ment of the spirits of the river" he re-
piled; "th"y are eating half the sacri-
fice.' But it is all here STILL" we told
him at the close. Well" he replied,
"at least, the candles are gone."-Frank

based upon the theory that its rays may
