Small wonder if they were, surely.
From the moment of his arrival Mr.

furtive entry into Blentmouth, and

Cecily's birthday, and the occasion
which was to be celebrated by dinner

man, and they bought bit of old Chel,

age).

1t seems that asparagus is not grown

years in the brazilian capital, went
with his wife and S-yearold daughter
to visit friends living near Buenos
Ayres, n part of the continent where
the climate Is better adapted to the
fruits and vegetables of the temperate
regions.
At the first dinner after their arrival
the visitors were treated to some fresh
asparagus. The little S-year-old daugh-
ter was likewise served with the as
paragus. but she evidently did not
think much of it as an article of food.
Her mother tried for some time to
coax her 10 eat it. Finally the little

ness of not eating her food. leaned over

Some years ago the late DR.. Colo
nette undertook to make bottle OF
port that should not cost more than
threepcnce which the best judges
should be unable to distinguish from
the highest priced wine that could be
obtained in the island. The preparation
was compounded openly before large
assemblage, and three competent
judges We're selected to test the prod
uct. The basis Of this compound was
cider, colored with an infusion of log
wood. TO this he added a few grains
Of tartaric acid and salt Of tartar to
give respectively rough taste and a
mellowed appearance. When three
glasses Of this compound and three
glasses of recognized port were pre-
sented to the judges to taste and pass
their verdict. without being told which
was which, they unanimously pro-
nounced in favor Of the doctors cheap
preparation and rejected the genuine
port. What they would have said the
next morning if they had consumed a
bottle of this preparation remains

Feeding Their Dead.

Twice year, in the first week Of
April and October, the Chinese feed
their dead. They think, very sensibly,
that once their friends and relatiyes
leave this mortal coil they ought to
stay away from this world, and to pre-
vent their return they faithfully trans
NIT to them all the necessaries of life.
1t has been discovered by oriental wis
dom raat the way to transmit sery-
ants, songs. plays, books and money is
to manufacture them in paper and
burn them. But actual eatables must
be carried to the grave.
The Chinese are not stingy, and wag-
on loads Of roasted chickens, pigs,
ducks, various sweetmeats and fruits
are taken to the cemeteries. The food
is piled before each grave amid burn
ing red. carrot shaped candles and joss
sticks. Then the living PROSTATE them
selves before the dead and beg them
to rise up and enjoy themselves. Chi.
nese wines are then sprinliled literally
over the graves. while some graves re-
ceive boxes of cigars and packages of
cigarettes.
But you must not suppose that the
eatables are left on the graves. oh,
no! That would be throwing too much
temptation in the way Of heather
tramps. In about two hours it is be-
lieved that the ghosts got the essence
Of the eatables conveyed to them, and
then the devotees gather up the offer
feed to their own material bodies. But
the cigars and cigarettes are burned
on the graves.

A CROSS ON HIS BACK.

II Was Made With Chalk. but Was
Too Heavy to Carry.
There is story of an enviOus tailor
current with the French peasantry. He
fancied that his neighbor, who receiv-
ed a pension for the loss Of an arm in
cured while fighting for his country,
was better off than himself. Both men
went to pay their rent on the same
day.
THAT'S a lucky man," said the tailor
to the landlord. HE gets well paid for
his arm"
"But who would be willing to part
with an arm, even If he were paid for
it," said the landlord
II would" declared the tailor.
YOU" cried the landlord. "Why,
man. you wouldn't be willing to bear
anything of the sort, no matter how
much you were paid for it,"
II wish some one would try me-"
"Now. see here" said the landlord.
who had studied human nature, I'm
tell you what, if you'll wear even so
much as a chalk mark on your back
I'll remit your rent as long as you
wear it on your coat SO it can be seen,
the condition being that you tell no one
why it is there"
agreed" said the tailor eagerly.
"Thats an easy way to pay rent"
So the chalk mark in the form of q
cross was made on the back of his
coat, and the delighted tailor sailed
forth upon the street.
Strangers and acquaintance hailed
BIN to tell him Of the mark on his
back. Jokes were made at his expense,
children laughed and pointed at him,
and his wife annoyed him with qucs-
tons and with conjugal familiarity
told him he was a fool. The usually
amiable man grew surly and morose;
he stunned men. women and children
and frequented back streets. Before
the week was UP the tailor found him
self embroiled in a quarrel with his
best friend. his wife had threatened to
leave his house and he considered HIM
self miserable and i'll used.
Finally, one night he took off his
coat and rubbed out the chalk mark
and said: There. | would not wear
that cross on my back another week,
no, not if I could have all the money
there is in Paris. '-Youth's Compan-
