me to be rather curious as well as

Talking with New York paint
manufacturer about paint of GER

that color on walls in Pompeii. Odd
ly enough, the other curious illustra-
ton arose out of the same ancient
city. A New Yorker engaged in the
manufacture of lead pipe said incl
dentally to something that he was
telling me about lead pipe that he
had found in Pompeii lead pipe in fair
condition. The pipe, while covered
with an incrustation that had gath

been buried, yet cutting with as
bright and perfect cleavage as
though il had been made yesterday,
instead of many centuries ago.
These two things interested some

CLUB LIFE IN CHINA.
Nothing Comparable with IL In SPLEEN
dor I'm London or New
York City.

Club life is not confined to civilized
western countries. The rich Chinaman
has had his club for centuries, and, as
a rule, in the elegance and splendor Of
the internal decorations there is moth
ing comparable with il in London or
New York, says the London Mail. Most
Of the larger Chinese cities, like Cam
ton or Picking, contain a club for man
darins and rich men with pretentions
to rank. Some have political faint,
some are merely social, but all have one
peculiar feature. This is room or ora
tory set strictly apart for religious
exercises. In the oratory the image Of
a Chinese god is placed. From time to
time members of the club enter the
sanctuary to offer their devotions. APP
parently it is no uncommon thing at
the beginning or successful ending Of
great enterprise-such as, say, the
murder of an enemy or the consumma-
ton of political conspiracy-to see
a Chinaman Fastening from the secular
part of his club bearing rich offering,
or a prayer, for the god in the club
sanctuary. He observes his devotions
with a gravity that bears witness to
his sincerity. Some devout Cinnamon
visit the god the moment they enter
the club building, and again PROSTATE
themselves the last thing before leav-
ing. The club god is not usually a war
divinity, but now in the centers where
the Boxers hold sway undisturbed, it
is more than probable that the Boxer
god has been placed in all the clubs.
