Similar in some respects to the cell
ebration of christmas in Christian
countries is the observance of the
devils birthday in China. On this an
niversary many costly gifts are laid
upon the altar of the evil one. There
are many other superstitions current.
In sending tie kitchen god to Heaven
every year, the Chinese housekeeper
has to burn 1T and let the fumes as
cend. 1t reports on the good deeds of
the family for the year and brings
good luck. Before burning it the
housewife dips her fingers in a jar of
molasses and smears the upper and
lower lips of the Idol, so that when he
arrives at the pearly city he may tell
a sweet tale on the family and thus
insure benedictions. A family, when
gambling, will cover the eyes of the
idol until the card playing is through.

bet. They have queernotions about it's
being made in fun, and not counting,
and all that. There's the bet made
with Lucy Jockman the time the house
party was going down Jackson park.
She said she'd see the lake first. said
she wouldn't, and it was gloves to

she was easy. All had, to do was to
keep her talking about the time I
knew the blue water line ought to heave

I said; Lucy there tits Maybe you
think I got the gloves? Well, didn't.
Didn't expect to when made the bet.
"But if the shoe had been on the

HIS PERSISTENCE WON OUT.
A Chicago Policeman Builds a House
-" of Bricks Picked Up in the
.-- Streets. t--.~.a

In the northwestern part of Chicago
there is a neat little cottage; in it
lives a Chicago policeman. When it. is
known how the policeman secured the
bricks for the foundation of his cozy
home it will be- understood that he
has the patience of Job and uncom-
mon perseverance, says the Chronicle
In the first place, the foundation
bricks represent no money outlay
All they cost was effort. When the
officer made up his mind to build a
house for his small family heconceived
the idea of picking up stray bricks
on the street and taking them home
Every day of his life he kept look
out for bricks that fell from passing
wagons. Not a night passed but he
took home a sackful of bricks. Some
times only two or three; occasionally
ten or a dozen would represent his
labor. of a day .Oftentimes when at
leisure he visited railroad yards and
there always found a rich field and
increased the rapidly growing pile.
His strange idea became a Joke among
his associates many months before
the house was built. He is often
spoken of to-day as "the policeman
who bought a brick house brick at a
time" r.& -

The Garrison Was Forgotten.

Marcel Monnier, French literary
man, spent a considerable portion of
1899 in an extended journey through
China. On his way from Peling to
Hentsin he passed through the, vii
lage Of Yo-shi-Wo. Here a garrison
of Chinese imperial troops had been
stationed since the outbreak of the
war with Japan. The troops had been
forgotten by the imperial military au-
thorities at Picking. Since they were
dumped down there not an order had
reached them and not cent Of pay
had been distributed among them.

Bavarian School Discipline.

A judicial decision which has Just
been rendered at the court Of Munich
shows that corporal punishment is
still regarded in Germany as an indis-
pensable factor of education. "A
school-teacher," says the judge, ''has
the right to infict corporal punish
ment as well on the pupils Of his own
class as on those of other classes. As
pupils are amenable to scholastic ju-
risdiction even after the school hours
are over, they may be punished by
