CHAPTER XxxV.

In every little fracas, that took
place between Violet and the dowager
Lady RIVERS, Randolph tried to make
peace. His mother was hurt. think
ing he ought to take her side; his
VIE was angry, feeling quite sure
that he ought to fight her battles: he
himself felt hurt because Violet. for
lis sake, would not yield more. So
the shadow deepened, the coldness in.
creased. Not that Randolph loved
his wife less-if possible, he loved her
more-but he felt grieved because
she did not try to conciliate those
| around her and to accommodate her
self to her new circumstances.
On the other hand, Violet had al
| ways in her mind sense of injury
Randolph had deceived her. No mat
| ter what his object or what his ex
cuse, he had deceived her, and there
was no possibility of forgetting it. Ii

Chinese VS.. Christian Diet,

Visiting a Chinese market is
strange experience; it is like a fairy
tale happening. Scheherezade could
have made another week of tales in
the Arabian Nights" out of the
impetus given to the imagination by
an hours study of the fish, flesh AND
fowl and bone of the Chinese market,
says Harper's Bazaar Where could
such things grow that are so unlike
anything ever eaten by Christian?
And the nameless things floating in
liquid held in bowels, what can thew
be? Even the fresh green vegetable,
and salads are unlike any vegetation
produced by morally conducted
kitchen garden. Mice, snakes, car
rion-eating birds, inedible shell-fsh,
these are the words that keep us from
wishing to try Chinese dishes and our
great horror is that we shall ever
smell them
Now what do the eaters of these
foods think of the diet which is the
proper diet because we so declare it2
What suggestive words fash in their
Celestial brains when certain Europe
an dainties are set before them? Did
rot Minister WI and the sixteen
brocadede gentlemen of his suite give
at dinner party reproof which
should make all Christendom blush?
When the Roquefort cheese was
passed he withdrew his insulted nose
as far as possible from the offending
dish with Celestial hauteur, and APP
piled his fan with evident purpose.
The sixteen all did the same, and the
table was surrounded with China's
disapproval of civilizations offering.
The moral is, that if our faults OF
palate are great enough to disgust an
other nation, should not Our sense of
humor keep us from jeering at their
peculiarities.

THE CHINESE SOiREE.
How to Drink Tea in the Land Of the
Pagoda.

Pagoda.
When you call On a Chinaman who
is able to have a servant. the first
thing that the servant does is to
bring in two cups Of tea. He puts one
in front of the master and one in front
of the visitor. Then the master in
dictates that you shall drink from the
cup before you. If you want to incur
his everlasting enmity go ahead and
drink He merely asks you to drink
it for politeness' sake. He does not
want you to do it and expects you TO
refuse for politeness' sake. Letting
the tea stand in front of you, you
proceed with your interview, and you
are at liberty to continue it, and you
may feel that you are welcome until
the host picks up his cup and takes a
sip. That is the polite way he has of
telling you that the interview is
ended. The polite thing for you to do
then is to take one sip of your tea and
depart. The right to drink the first
sip of tea, however, goes with rank.
If the visitor outranks the host, no
matter how much the host may wish
to be rid of him-he must sit until the
visitor chooses to take sip of his
tea.-New York Sun.

Rise Of Dixie.
The half of TIE continent lying

magnate, with probably unshakable
determination to do business on the
nearest salt water. The Southern
states, in their remarkable industrial
achievements of the last eight years
are more than reinforcing the terri
tory of the Mississippi and Of the Red
River of the north. Between the
iron, coal and timber of the south
and the agriculture Of the southwest
there has arisen a spontaneous inter
change that seems to grow by its own
force. The cotton mills below the
Mason and Dixon line, contrary to
former custom, send their output
straight to the dry goods and denim
merchants of the Mississippi and
the Missouri, instead Of the regions
dispatching their orders to Boston
and New York. Wagons from Georgia
are making their way into the farms
of Oklahoma . and Arkansas, while
