Positions In the Customs service Are
Abrasive and Are -Ea-
seEIy -so6EAt.

There is no fixed limit to the length
Of time which Chinese customs as
sistant may spend at a port, says
h c. Whitlesey, in Atlantic. The
average period IS about three years.
The chances then are that a man in
a southern port wiz be ordered north,
or that one on the Yangtse VIII be
sent south. Promotion to the next
higher grade often accompanies a
transfer, and there is also the change
Of climate and the opportunity to see
and learn more Of the land, its Gus
toms and people. In the north the
foreigner has an excellent chance to
collect q variety Of curiOs consisting
OF old coins, pieces Of porcelain, an
tique bronzes, and choice bits Of en-
broidery, while on the Yangtse and
IN the south he can suit critical
taste in selecting silk piece goods, sill
yer and gold articles. Of native work
manship, and wood and ivory carvings.
At the end Of seven years a member
Of the indoor staff completes his first
period, as it is called, and is en-
titled to 60 home for two years hOl-
iday, and also to receive one years
fun pay as a gratuity. Upon his go
ing back to China for further service
the customs pay One-half Of the cost
Of his return fare. He then serves
five years more, when he completes
his second peroid, and can again 60
home on two years leave and re-
ceive a second gratuity-and so on for
as long as health and inclination may
permit. Inc conditions Of an en-
gagement in the customs are coqsid-
cred usually attractive on account Of
the generous salary, security Of posi-
ton, and prospect Of sure advance
ment. designations rarely occur, and
there are always more applicants
than there are vacancies.

CHINESE WOMEN SERVANTS.
They Are OF Common Employment
Among the japanese Few
In As1erfca.

We are accustomed to think only Of
Cinnamon as servants, because it is al
most unknown for a Chinese woman
to 60 out to service in this country, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
This is not the case, however, in Japan,
some Of the most efficient servants of
that country being from China. A mer-
chant from this country, who has been
doing business In Toxic for several
years, returned home recently, bring
ing with him two Chinese women as
nurses for his young children. He says
1t is customary in Japan to place the
very. young children in charge Of Chi
nese nurses, and when they are older
to employ japanese women. The rea-
son given is because the Chinese WON
en- are 50 faithful in the care of babies.
A Chinese nurse will hang her head
with shame If the baby cries She
thinks it is all her fault. She hovers
over her charge with anxious care, and
makes a great fuss If II appears that
anyone is going to behave 5mprudently
with the child. The staIEvart father Of
the babies referred to used to go into
the nursery and toss the little ones
high in the air. But the nurse never
failed to demonstrate nerTousIy: .sYou
viii Kill them in their insides.' she said.
The Chinese nurse expects to take en-
tire charge of the child, preparing
everything that It eats and washing its
clothes The nurse who came to this
country with the American babies
brought pebbles all the way from
japan with which she cleaned the in
fant's bottle. Chinese servants are re-
garded in Japan as much more reliable
than japanese.

RAINED BATS AND HAWKS.
the East, and the Hawks from
the West.

The steamship Curityba, which ar
rived at New York the other day from
Cuban ports, had a weird experience
with winged things on her trip up the
coast. When she was on Matanzas an
oH-shOre gale, Permeated with tropical
moisture, piled the combers about her.
On the blast came thousands of land
birds and big bats. Mate Bregman saws
the bats literally covered the ship,
FOosting on all the rails He says they
appeared to be q ''cross between a VAN
pre- and a squirrel When the weather
moderated and dawn came the bats
were near enough TO one Of the Ba-
hamas to venture leaving the ship.
A hundred or more miles of Florida
The Curityba was visited. by what the
seventh mate, who is English. declares
was a flock of ''heagles." The eighth
mate says he believes they were
'.hOwls,." and the ninth mate positively
asserts that they were Sc 'awks.' What
ever they may be called, Capt. Hoppe
and his men captured two of them,
which measure, according TO the new
uitraEsFine reporter who was sent out
By the ship news experts to get the
yarn about eight feet from tip to tip. -
There were altogether 20 eagles or
hawks OF owls IN the flock.

Margaret Fuller once expressed the
willingness to exchange her fine intel

the beauty and attraetiveness Of En-
ny Marshall (who had been her
schOOlmate), writes William Perrine
Of THE LoveEest Woman In All
America in the Ladies Home Jour
nal Miss Marshall stood before US a
reyersion to that faulfless1 type of
structure which artists have imagined
IN the past and to that ideal loneliness
Of disposition which poets have faneied
in the golden age, was the verdict OF a
Boston gallant, one Of the fair beautyss
neighbOrs, recorded IN after Hfe, when
his judgment was unprejudiced- Such
was the homage which the people Of
Boston would sometimes bestow upon
Miss Marshall that one night when
Daniel Webster, then beginning his
career in the United States senate, vis-
tied the Federal Street theater the ap-
plause which the audience showered
upon him was not greater than the
cheers with which it welcomed the
divine Emily. In New York she caused
such a sensation that one morning ten
gentlemen at one time were seen IN her
escort, and 60 left their cards for her.
When she went TO such summer resorts
as Saratoga the crowds at the hotel
would form a lane through which she
might pass as they waited TO view her
going to and from her coach, and tits

visited that city one OF the schools was
closed earlier than the usual hour TO
give the young girls a chance to see
the famous belle. Indeed, women
looked upon her with an admiration
which they seldom accord to beauties.

tiuRes-has Just celebrated his eighty
third birthday. There is probably
none of Queen Victoria's judges, either
on the active or on the retired list, who
knows so much Of the seamy side Of
hfe as does Baron Brampton- He is
the hero Of more stories than have
been told of any other occupant Of the
judicial bench, living or dead. His con
slant companion, and most devoted
friend. a singularly restless and clever
little terrier, figures IN many Of these.
For instance, once when the nervous
little animal was dragging his vener-
able master violently along by its
leash, a member Of the criminal classes.
who knew both master and dog very
wei, indeed, called ont loudly: "Why,
Bill, don't 60 1t so ard, the old 'un isn't

love for animals on another occasion
prompted him to interpose when
learned counsel had been talking about

what would be sufficient evidence for
that purpose 'sThat, m Iud, . replied
the lawyer, with significance, would

AUTHOR MADE A HIT.
He Finally Brought His Novel to
Close IN Advance OF HIS
First Purpose.


One OF the most popular novels Of
the day had a strange history which
might have been considered fatal to
its success had it been considered in
advance A New York author whose
books are always sure Of a certain de-
gree Of popularity finished all but the
last few chapters of a novel. Try as
he might, it was impossible for him
TO complete the story satisfactorily.
So he put the book away and for two
years 1t lay unfnished~On his desk, al
though the author thought Of the
work from time to time without be-
ing able to get any nearer the sOlu-
ton Of the plot, says the New York
Sun.
Finally he lost all hope Of ever com
pleting the work and decided to end
it at a point several chapters in ad-
vance Of that at which he had ceased
to write With this abrupt and unex-
pected ending the novel went to pub
Usher, was accepted and turned out
one Of the most popular novels this
author has ever written. One Of the
most praised features Of the book is
its unconventional ending, which is
said to be just explicit enough to sat
isfy. everybody without going into ar
tistic detail. And the author was at
one time so discouraged about the end
ing Of the book that he had almost
given up the idea Of submitting 1t to
any publisher

A great rivalry exists among the
private soldiers in South Africa for the
honor Of performing the most heroic
deed of the campaign. The most dra-
matte feat of the war, perhaps, was the
hosting Of the union jack over Pre-
toria, and 1T is interesting to note that
this was done by . man who is often
described as the richest man IN Eng

After showing him over the different
parts Of the warship the officer took
the captain into his cabin. He offered
him cigar and a glass Of wine, and
they had quite friendly chat together.
Before leaving the captain happened
to glance round the cabin and saw

HOME FOR scHooLTEAcHERs.
switzerland VIII Found a Place
Where They Can Spend Their
Vacations.

The Swiss educators are taking ac-
tive measures looking toward the
founding Of a Iehrerheim, OF hOme-for
schOol-teachers during their holidays,
upon the model Of the admirable eisen-
bahner-heim, or home for railway
workers, on the GrubisbaIm, upon the
slopes Of the Rigi, midway between
Vitznau and the KaItbad, says a for
eign correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle. The hotel on the Grubis-
balm, which owes its initiative entirely
to a committee Of workers on the
Swiss railways, has now been open for
three or four years. Any railway man,
or member Of railway mans family,
may be exceIlently lodged and boarded
there at a cost OF three to three and
One-half francs a day. The economical
question is exhaustively treated In a
little pamphlet circulating amongst
the teachers in the Swiss common
schools. If the railway workers can
''help themselves" to so successful a
cooperative hotel and pension, why
cannot their educators do the same?
asks Herr Walt, the writer Of the pam
phlet- The railway workers home on
the Rigi not only pays its expenses,
but at the end Of the last season showed
a profit Of 1900 francs, which is ex-
pected to increase as it becomes more
widely used. The German schOol-mas-
tiers in SiIesia have already provided
themselves with a similar cooperative
hotel and pension in the Sehreiberhau-
