Where Theft Is Not Robbery.

In China theft is SO common that no
body notices it, A young Chinaman
once slipped three oranges up his
sleeve at a party. While making his
bow at parting the oranges slipped out
and rolled on to the floor. He account
ed for the awkward event by saying
that his mother was very fond of or
anges His fault was straightway over
looked, and he was afterward held up
as an instance Of filial piety. There are
several proverbs which go to show that
the folk think lightly of stealing. One
says that "when tailors cease to pilfer
cloth their children will have to go
without food" and another declares,
"When silversmiths do not steal, they
will certainly starve."

COurtShiD In China.

A curious custom prevails at Huay-
ning-hsien, in Kwangsi. On the fif-
teenth day Of the first month in each
year all the young ladies and gentle
men take a walk to the Yenyen noun
tain. Each damsel carries little box,
which she deposits at the foot of the
hill. Any young gentleman DESTROYS Of
entering the bonds Of matrimony may
select one Of the boxes and take it
away with him, Whereupon the fair
owner of the box makes herself known,
and an acquaintanceship is thus form
ed. III assorted matches are not likely
to occur, as this custom is observed
only among the well to do classes Of
society.

How He Saved Him.

They were speaking Of certain ply
sician favorably occasionally, but most
ly otherwise. Finally one Of the party
spoke Of the good qualities of the alb
sent doctor and said his life had once
been saved by the much criticised prac-
titioner.
"How is that?' some one asked. Il
did not know he usually treated you"
'No, he does not" said the man, ''but
one day when my family physician
was out of town was suddenly taken
i'll and sent for this fellow in the emer-
gency, and he couldn't come"

An Odd Smile.

Among the unconsciously grotesque
tributes paid to Queen Victoria at the
time of her death by the Indian press
was this unique expression from Hin
doc scribe: "Her majesty loved her sub
jects with the strong, maternal affec-
ton which q cow feels for her off
spring."
The smile would only be pleasing to
the Englishman' who remembered the
honorable position of the cow and calf
in the Hindoo religion.

Solid Food For SCOTS Intellect

The librarian of the Aberdeen Public
library shows in his annual report
what books readers call for. In one
case a laborer's last thirty books from
the library consisted of two books in
science, one in philology, two in sociol-
ogy, three poetry, three philosophy,
eleven theology and eight fiction. An
other remarkable case is that of an up
holsterer, whose reading in q period of
about two years consisted of one book
in science, one in useful arts, two in
history, five in biography and twenty
six books of travel.-St. James Gazette.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the KNOWLEDGE so
often expressed that Dr.. Kilners Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of LIQUOR,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 90 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
