Ia Meft1oria1i1.

The following lines we're written by
Mrs. L. A. Nash in memory of Miss
Lucie Pernot and read at the memorial
services recently held at the Reading
Room:
She has passed the covered way,
Leading to shining day.
All the mysteries of life,
Good and evils constant strife,
God is solving it up there;
But we miss her sorely here.
Miss the bright and genial smile,
CHEEKY words that could beguile
A weary hour or troubled mood;
With ease her warm heart under
stood.
She'll have ministries up there;
While we miss them sorely here.
Born of life's activity,
Dreading mere passivity;
Apt to work, strong to lead;
Duty's sense her only need.
Death is but an onwards there,
.snr AS her life was upwards here.
Not long and weary fight,
In that vale's dark, shadowy blight.
An angel opened swift the door,
OF the ''life forevermore.%
Though we say "good night" down
here,
The angel bids "good morning"
there.
Love would fain have breathed fare
well,
Ere the mystic curtain fell
Listened for parting word,
Ere was broke the "silver chord -
But loves content to know her there,
Though it shed the tender tear.

QUEER CHINESE LAW.
Why a Manned LabOrer Was Not
Aided by His COuntrymen
From the Manila Up. u Freedom.

From the Manila Up. - Freedom.
A Chino got his leg broken while I'M
loading a casco filled with quartermas-
ter's supplies down on the water front
yesterday, and was permitted 20 suffer
great agony, with the heavy box lying
across his leg while his countrymen stood
around and refused TO assist him.
The gang We're hoistng the heavy case
out of the casco onto the wharf, when the
rocking of the boat caused by the waves
of a passing launch, threw one of them
off his balance This left too much
weight on the others, and the box began
10 slip back. Seeing this, and not hav-
ing confidence in each other, AL released
their hold and jumped from under.
All escaped but one, who was caught
and pinned to the floor of the boat, while
the fun weight of the case rested on his
legs. In this position he was allowed to
remain, while the other Chfnos stood
around and jabbered.
Their cries and gesticu1atons drew the
attention of one of the American bosses,
and he ordered them TO remove the box. 1t
took several kicks and good hard knocks
to induce them to lend a helping hand but
they finally got him out.
He was sent 10 the Emergency Hospital,
where his broken bone was set and his
other hurts attended to. Then he was
sent 10 the Chinese Hospital, where he
will be taken care of until he RECEIVERS.
The inhuman conduct of the other Chi
nos, in refusing TO help the unfortunate
man. was the subject of much comment,
and inquiry as 10 its cause brought TO
light one of the queerest customs of that
queer people.
1t seems that i'm China all who are in
any way connected with the killing of
Chino become responsible for the care of
his family. 1t makes no difference TO
what little extent they were TO blame for
his death. They may suffer by il them
selves. That is no excuse. They must
provide for those dependent upon him.
To such a length does this time hon
ored custom go, that If Chino Is in i'm
ninent danger of losing his life, by acct
dent. and any other Chino tries to help
him. but fails, the latter becomes saddled
with the burden of supporting his family
for the rest of their days.
And such is the strength of tradition
with that people that even such an I'M
positIon as that Is never shifted or evad-
ed in the least degree,
This was the reason why they stood
about Yesterday and watched their coun-
trvman suffer without rendering him as
sistance. and finally had TO be driven into
lifting the box from its position across
his legs. Had ne died then. or should
he vet die, directly or indirectly, from
that accident, even by his own careless
ness or that of his physician, those CHI
nos who removed that box would teel
bound 10 support his family for the res,
of their lives; and there Is no doubt but
that they would be faithful to the obli-
cation.
