CHILD LIFE IN CHINA.

From the New York Tribune.
When a Chinese boy reaches his sixth
birthday It is considered time for him to
go to school.
The occasion is looked upon as one of
such Importance that a fortune teller is
usually consulted, and on lucky day,
fixed upon by the wise man, the little
Chinaman makes his first Ape aranee at
school.
He locks very fresh and tidy; his hair
has been neatly shaved from his fore
head. and the rest of it is pleated up into
a long black queue-a ''pi n-tsz," he calls
it-which hangs down behind. When any
OF his school fellows want 20 torment him
they will tie his pigteil TO the same APP
uendage on another boys head, which Is
very uncomfortable for them both.

American Mutoscope and BIograph

this stupendous undertaking was car
ried through successfully is very i'm
terestlng. The current was conveyed
by two special feed wires from the CEN
trail station at Coney Island to the club
house, direct from the dynamos to the
four hundred specially built arc lights.
The reflectors over the ring arc lights
were so arranged that correct lighting
could only be had from the position oc-
cupied by the four cameras Of the

Company. There was total candle

eleven electricians were stationed over
the ring. To work the four camera6
twelve skilled operators were kept on

disbursements included $4,000 for 400

occasionally, that some gifted writer
presents q play that rises clear cut and
admirable above the undulating plain OF

latest success, "a Wasted Life" which

MS the strongest organization now pro-
ducing standard dramas and comedies
