Chinese CHILDREN.
NURSERY RHYMES.

KEEN AND TENDER AFFECTION
Those who hold that the Chinese do
not love their children have never con-
Quilted their nursery lore. There is
scarcely language in the world which
contains chlldren's songs expressive of
some of those found among the nursery
rhymes Of China. As a samnie

following is quoted:
My baby is sleeping;
My baby'S asleep.
My flower is resting;
III give you peep.
How cunning he looks
AS he rests on nv arm!
My flower 8 most charming
OF all them that charm.
The Chinese have also many nursery
verses pertaining to the different parts Of
the body.
They have rhymes to repeat when they
take hold of the five fingers, and rhymes
when they take hold of the toes; rhymes
when they grab the knee and expect the
child to refrain from laughing, no mat
ter how its knee is tickled; rhymes which
correspond to our knock at the door,
peep in ETC., when the forehead repre-
sents the door and the five senses repre-
sent other things-ending of course, by
tickling the child's neck-and there is no
book in China, not even their sacred
books, which is so universally known as
their nursery rhymes.
These are understood and repeated by
the educated and the ilIiteFatee the chill

CARS. children in the cities and in the
country villages. and they produce like
results in the minds and hearts of them
all. the children laugh over them look
sober over them, or are sung to sleep
by them.
The Chinese are very domestic and
cruelty in the family is rare. Parents
are adored and the young are loved.

Michael Corcoran, the last named being
afterwards a brigadier general in the

time similar organization, existing IN
Ireland under the name Of the Phoenix

1858 and reported an enrolment of s.. 900

to be an Independent nation with James
Stephens at it's head. When the second
Fenjan congress assembled at Cincin-

from Arabia. AS it did not make it's nest
inEgypt, it was believed to be self-engen-

month. It was celebrated for it's purity,
and only drank from the purest water;
besides which, it was tabled to entertain

to die of self-starvation If transported

THE EVIL EYE.
Both in ancient and modern times the
belief that some persons have the power
of injuring others by looking upon them
has been widely diffused. The Greeks
frequently speak Of the ophthalmos bas-
kanos, or evil eye, which they conceived
to be specially dangerous to children
and the Romans used the verb fascinare
to express the same fact The principal
amulet used by the ancients was the
phallus or fascinum, as the Romans call
ed it, which was hung round the neck
of children. This superstition, like many
others, f1ourished in Europe during the
Middle ages. In the British isles the
superstition of the evil eye is Of old date
and is by no means dead; at least in Ire
land and the Highlands of Scotland. In
Oriental countries it was and is no less
prevalent. The Persians have various
methods Of discovering the special kind
Of fascination by which a person is af-
fiicted. This superstition is common
among the colored people Of the Southern
states, and even among the poorer class
es of white people .i@s

HANpIwoRK For WOMEN.

HANDIWORK FOR WOMEN
Several years ago the queen CT Italy adj
dressed a letter to all the queens OF En-
rope asking them to encourage the lace
industry by purchasing only the hand
made article, This movement gave IL
great impetus to the lace-makers in the
villages and rural communities of every
European country. With the royal fami-
lies setting the example the nobility natu-
rally followed, and the business thrived.
In the United States several wealthy
and public-spirited women are working
along similar lines. The arts and crafts
exhibit recently held in Minneapolis,
brought together from various parts OF
the country specimens OF handiwork
which are of interest and value from
sociological and ethical standpoint, as
well as from the standpoint of the artist
and the craftsman.
The establishment of village industries
in various parts of the country is a not
able movement of the time. By means
of these industries, most of which have
been established and carried on by wom-
Ell, the people of small villages are given
profitable employment at home, and thus
kept from entering into the competition
of the already oyercrowded centers of
trade.
White the Minneapolis exhibition
brought many beautiful examples
of craftsmanship from all over the
country, including leather and metal
work. needlework and ceramics. the
feature OF broadcast interest was that OF
the textiles of various sorts which are
the product of the village industries.

vastly more recuperative than q further

Sirable depends very much upon csrcum-

ANIMAL WORSHIP.

The practice of worshiping animals, as
well as certain plants and stones, prevail
ed among many Of the nations of anti
guilty, and is still common among bar
barous tribes. That animals should be
held sacred and receive worship need ex-
cite no surprise when we bear in mind
the origin Of polytheistic worship general
ly. They are manifestations of powers /;
mysterious, too, because actuated by i'm
pulses differing from those of man; and
often, by their greater acutenesS of sense
and more unerring instincts, seeming to
possess supernuman knowledge. Be-
sides this general ground, various ami
mails have been associated with the gods
as embIems and in other ways.
The most important source of the super
stitious regard bestowed on animals is
the belief that gods and spirits in general
often take the form of animals, either
temporarily or as a permanent abode.
The doctrine of the TRANSPORTATION Of
souls is not confined to India. Kindred
notions, though not perhaps reduced to

United States, England, France and
other governments. The United States.
by annexation, claimed the kio Grande
as the Texan boundary, while Mexico al

sidered as the commencement of war,
and Mexico made the attack.
