THE INNS OF CHINA.
Their Cheapncss IN About Their One
Redeeming Feature.

Their Cheapncss IS About Their one
Redeeming Feature.
Chinese inns are without register or
clerks. On riding through the gateway
your bride rein is seized by a dirty
boy, who helps you to dismount, shout
ing loudly meanwhile for the proprie-
tor, who presently looms up through
the wilderness Of carts and mules. Pro-
prietor and boy then hold parley as
to what rooms are eligible, and then
door is pushed open and the traveller is
shown to his apartment. 1t is usually
about twelve feet square. The walls
and floor are of hard mud, and so are
the beds, which extend entirely across
the side of the room, with only space
enough between them for small table
and one chair. The room is lighted by
one window, in which paper takes the
place of glass.
The first duty Of the proprietor in
making patron comfortable is to stop
up the holes in the paper window pane.
He never tears the paper off entirely
and replaces it with new one, be-
cause the sheet Of paper is worth
about one-tenth of cent, and the inn
keeper is not wasteful. Indeed he
pastes little slips Of paper over the
holes until all the light that filters
through it is Of a notified hue.
At one end Of the mule shed is the
kitchen Of the inn. 1t Is here that the
meals for all the patrons are prepared,
to be eaten In the rooms. The menu is
not elaborate. 1t consists only Of bowls
Of rice and tea. Should the traveller de-
sire a greater variety Of food, he can
buy it himself in the market, and his
own servant can cook it in the kitchen
Of the inn. To sleep on the bed Of
Chinese inn would be for foreigner
an impossibility were it not that he is
always so exhausted at the end of
each days journey that he finds it diff
dcult to remain awake ten minutes
after alighting from his pony. He lies
down on the mat that covers the hard
heap of mud and surprises himself at
the soundness of his slumber.
The one redeeming thing about the
inn is it's cheapness. Just as the trav.
eler is about to depart in the morning
the proprietor tells him the amount Of
his bill. Everything is charged on the
European plan" Every cup Of tea,
every rushlight candle, the paper win
dow pane, are all itemized in the long
list which the proprietor reels off in
singsong, but the total is surprisingly
low. The cost Of food and lodging for
one night for traveller and two serv.
ants, with stabling and fodder for his
ponies and cart mules, Is about 30
cents.-New York Mail and Express

THE GREAT JOKE, DEATH.
Funny Side of Dying Often Treated
Of In Literature.

CUnhy sue Oh OttuB Ottch lTCatGU
of In Literature.
Death" said publisher, "has been
treated humorously in our literature
often. Indeed am quite sure that
collection of many thick volumes might
be made under the title Of Deaths
Funny Side Thomas Hood was one
of our best writer's Of this sort Of
verse. Don't you remember his ballad
on the young sailor who died heart
broken over his girls unfaith7 The
last stanza was:
ellis DEATH which happened In his berth.
At forty odd befell;
They went and told the sexton, and
The sexton tolled the bell.
"Hood did another ballad on the sub
ject of soldier who lost both legs in
battle, who was In consequence Tilted
by his sweetheart and who then hung
himself. Now, that is rather tragic, is
1t not? 1t has a bizarre but none the
less poignant tragid 6otc. Guy de
Maupassant indeed once handled al
most this same situation, but he han
died 1t from the opposite viewpoint,
and don't you remember how he mar
rated the first, the crucial, meeting of
the lovers after Ben Battles double
amputation?
"But when he called on Nellie Gray
She made him quite a scott,
And when she saw his wooden legs
Began to take them off.
"This treatment drove Ben to de-
spair:
$50 round his melancholy neck
A rope he did entwine
And for the second time In life
Enlisted In the line
"And there he hung till he was dead
AS any nail in town;
For though despair had cut him up.
1t could not cut him down.
"There is tremendous literature Of
humorous epitaphs. There must be, l
fancy, 10000 of these, but two of them
are all can recall. The first goes:
"Here lies the body of mild Maria;
She went one day to start the fire.
But the wood was green,
So she used kerosene.
And now she's where the fuel Is drier.
''The other is grlmmer:
life Is lie, and all things show 1t;
] thought so once, and now know 1t.
"Then there are songs on the side
splitting aspects of death, some Of
which have caused tender hearted Ia
dies to double up with mirth. Johnny
Jones and His Sister Sue Is one such
song, and l bet that six people out of
ten in America know it by heart.
EYES," the publisher concluded. "un-
der the title of Deaths Funny Side an
anthology Of many, many volumes
could be made. The anthology should
be bound in black pigskin, with grin
ming skulls and crossbones fooled In
gold on it."-Philadelphia Record.

Death In Their Work.

elders, photographers and those who
handle the hydro and potassic cyanides
are liable to suffer from chronic poison
ing by hydrocyanic acid. They have
headache. giddiness, noises in the ear,
difficult respiration, pain over the
heart, loss Of appetite-in short, show
all the evidences Of mild poisoning.
Zinc workers, too, suffer. Zinc is used
as pigment in calico printing, in dis
coloring glass, in polishing optical
glasses and in making artificial meer-

So men die in harness in these and
