Chinese SupcrstitiOn.

When General Grant was visiting
China, Chester Holcombe, for many
years secretary of the American leGa-
ton at Picking, secured for him privi-
lege never before that time accorded to
foreigner, the privilege Of admission
into the sacred precincts of the Temple
Of Heaven In Heking.
Now, 1t Is contrary to the settled be-
lief of the Chinese to admit member
Of the female sex, old or young. even to
the temple ground, under any circum-
stances. It Is said that should Chi
nese guard venture even to carry q
baby girl In his arms within the forbid
den lines he would probably be punish
ed with death. Not knowing of these
restrictions, u number of ladies' In Gen
eral Grants party ventured to follow
him when he visited the sacred editice.
Realizing the seriousness OF this ac-
ton, Mr. Holcombe afterward apollo
gized to the emperor's representative
for the conduct of his countrywomen
and was informed that the intrusion
would be overlooked, but must be kept
rs secret as possible, for should the
populace learn of 1t an antiforeiGn out
break would be likely to follow. They
would not forgive such pollution Of
their most sacred building.

His Moments of Joy,

Did you ever hear Of the strange
man who went out to n summer hotel
once for holiday? He impressed on
the clerk the first day he was there
that 1t was Of vital Importance that he
be called at G o'clock next morning.
He was called. He didn't come down
stairs till In the afternoon. The In
junction to the clerk was repeated ev-
cry day, and every day the mysterious
guest staid In his room till late In the
afternoon. When he had been at the
place week and was about to leave,
the clerk said to him:
IL beg your pardon, sir; It's none of
my business, but why have you left or
ders to be called at g o'clock every
morning and never got out Of bed till
several hours later"
"Well," he replied, "1ll tell you.
Back In the city I've got n job that
compels me to get up every morning,
summer and winter, at 3 O'Clock. This
is my first vacation for five years. Ev-
cry day when your bellboy has come
up stairs and banged at the door I've
started up to dress and get down to the
office and then suddenly let the convic-
ton steal blissfully over my brain that
! didn't have to. Then I've gone back
to bed, hugged the pillow and dreamed
that l was in the Elysian fields That
moment Of JOY that has followed the
banging on my door every morning has
been worth three times the price Of the

When Joe Chamberlain entered the
house of commons, he was anxious to
try his oratorical powers. certain
leading politician, who was plotting q
bill through the house, was approached
by one of Mr. Chamberlain's friends,
who said

contrary, had made u series of hlunders
which had imperiled his position. An
election was imminent. Forgetting his

could get Mr.. Chamberlain to speak for
him he would strengthen his position.
He, therefore, applied to the right hon

which made practice of issuing their

Bilge Water.


lam quite we'll aware that there are
objections to hospital ships In the trop-
leg. When they are moored, there Is
the burning question of bilge water.
l will not discourse on the subject of
bilge water, as incXperience thereof
might make the explanation weari-
some. Any one acquainted with the
bilge water question knows it Is Of en-
crossing interest Bilge Is a prince
among smells, and if you have ever
fallen under Its power you will always
think that every terrific thing in smells
Is manifestation Of blge water
remember on one occasion when on
ship, smelling in the evening some
thing that called for mention, so I
mentioned it. "Oh," said my COM
panions, more under the sway of bilge
water than l was, from their greater
knowledge of its power, 'fts only our
bilge water" In the morning we found
It was the rotting carcass Of an ele-
phant that had foated down the river
and now hung in the mooring chain.
After a considerable time was spent
in getting rid of the carcass l said,
"For goodness sake, gentlemen, stir
up your bllge water, and let the smells
fight 1t out together while we go
ashore for spell" NO" said my
companions, terror stricken at the sug-
gestion. "You do not know our bilge
water when its backs up. 1t would
stretch you If you were half way
across Africa. This elephant Is mere
lavender water to it,
This was n more dreadful hllge water
than a hospital ship would have. STILL
though bad, blge water Is not neces-
sarlly fatal under proper management

Chinese Porcelain.

Chinese porcelain was common In
Europe for 400 years before a German
potter succeeded in finding out the
process Of making 1t. This Chinese
pottery Is scattered all over the world
and everywhere valued, but nowhere
was the distribution more curious than
In western Canada. Early in the nine
teenth century Chinese junk was cast
away on the Pacific coast Of America
lust south of Vancouver island, and its
cargo of willow pattern plates fell into
the hands Of the Hudson Bay compa-
ny's officers. Still in the remotest trad
ing posts of the fur traders few fine
