rlLlAL PIETY IN CHINA.
A Land an which the Fifth CoaOmamb
ment Is Observed.

China has many faults and failings.
But lack of reverence for age, and es-
pecially of respect for parents. is not
one OF them, says the Shanghai Mer-
curry. The conscience Of the people is
so sensitive on the point that the I'M
filial son is considered a monster even
IN the lowest ranks of life
From the earlieet youth the Chinese
child is taught respect for his elders
and reverence for bis parents. This
does not prevent kim from being quite
as willful in his way as his Western
contemporary, and sometimes more so,
inasmuch as his value as means of
continuing not only the family name,
but the family ancestral worship, give
him an exaggerated value in his pa
rents eyes of which he is not slow TO
avail himself. He then acts as a
spoiled hoy acts elsewhere, and makes
himself the worldwide nuisance of his
kind. And this, Of course, in spite OF
the tenching Of all the sages, and not
withstandinc the twenty-four stories
of fillal piety with which he is regaled
as soon as he can read the character.
He knows Of WI Meng, for example,
the son of poor parents who could not
afford to buy mosquito curtains, and
he reads. with his tongue in his cheek,
how this model youth acquired last
ing name by going to lie down in his
parents bed sometime before their
hour for retiring in order that the
mosquitoes might gorge themselves
on his blood and leave his parents
alone. 1t is to be feared that there is
few WI Mengs in these days.
The more amenable child. however,
would even now initiate the example
of Huang Tlng-kien, who did with his
own hands menial service for his IA
ther and mother though he had at
taned the highest offices in the State,
and there are many Chinese women to-
day who would not hesitate to keep
alive an aged mother.in-law with milk
from their own breasts, even as Ts'ai
Shi did ages ago.

PhiIadelphia's ola Clothes.

Philadelphia is said to do a bigger
business in old clothes, says the New
York Commercial-that is, of course,
in cast-off or second and third hand
clothes of mcmillan any other city on
the American Continent. 1t is the cen
tire Of the trade in the East, and the
buyers of New York-mcn with their
bags from Canal, Hester and Baxter
streets--and from all over the Middle
States work" the City of Brotherly
Love for old clothes every business
day Of the year. The outsiders number
nearly GOO on an average. The capital
invested in the old clothes trade of
Philadelphia aggregates $3,500,000.
There are about 1000 1Ourishing retail
stores, and the average value Of their
stocks is set by experts in the trade at
$4,000. Each of a half dozen stores
carries goods valued at $4,000 or $780,
900. Each store gives employment to
three persons on an average-the pro-
prietor, his wife and the "busheler,"
or mender In all there are fully 5000
in the retail shops.

A SURPRISED PHYSICIAN.
A Dying Patient Receivers Through the
Interpolation OF Humble German.

Chicago, Nov Is.
Some weeks ago Dr. G., very repu
table and widely-known physician living on
c. street, was called to attend very
complicated case of rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found a man about
forty years of age lying in prostrated and
serious condition, with his whole frame
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patierE, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in
very alarming condition. The knees and
elbows and larger joints were greatly in,
famed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa.
tient could be turned in bed with the aid
of three or four persons. The weight of
the clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patients
body
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be Of no avail, and left the house, the
members of the family following him to
the door, weeping. Almost Immediately
the grief stricken ones were addressed by
an humble German, He had heard of the
despair of the family, and now asked them
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth bottle of st. Jacobs Oil. The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first apph.
cation eosed the patient very much; after
few hours they used it again, and, wonder
of wonders, the pain vanished entirely
Every subsequent application improved the
patient, and in two days he was well and
out. When the doctor called few days
after he was indeed surprised.

If all reports are true there does not
seem to be any good reason for out
not making our own macaroni and eat
ing it, too. We are beginning to have
the macaroni wheat in large quaint,
ties, and if the proprietors OF macaroni
manufactures want Italian laborers to
give their plants an Italian color, and
their products an Italian flavor, they
can easily secure them among those
settled here. Most OF our cooks need
to take course in cooking macaroni,
however, before we can have the per.
feet results OF macatoni growing in this
country demonstrated on our tables,
and when this necessity is provided for
we surely ought to be very proud ol
our new accomplishment. We can fur.
nish a pretty fair cheese to go along

He Wore nor slde combs.

Friends Of an absent minded young
minister, who has a charge in CHI
cago, are enjoying a story which his
wife tells at his expense. The young
gentleman in question is blessed with
an abundant crop OF light hair his
head, in fact, looks very much like thar
OF the hero OF the football field.
The wife is of an inventive turn OF
mind, and one day, not long before the
clergyman's vacation began, tried lit
tie experiment to see il she could not
improve the reverend gentleman S
style of hairdressing. While he was at
work at his desk, preparing for the al
ternoon's lesson to be taught his cate
chetical class. the lady took out her
own side combs, puffed out the gentle
mans locks into beautiful pompadour
and with pins and the aforementioned
side combs effected most orderly ar
rangement OF the usually somewhat un-
ruly locks, Then the lady skipped of
to attend to more weighty affairs, leay-
ing the gentleman still engrossed in his
studies.
An hour or two afterward the wife
walked into the study and beheld her
spouse still decorated with the side
combs.
Well" the gentleman said by way
OF greeting, the catechetical class has
been here, and we had very good
but the lady interrupted
DO you mean to say that you taught
that class with your hair done up in
that fashon"
Automatically the mans hands flew

The city Of St. Joseph. Mo. began the
construction of an electric light plant for
municipal street lighting twelve years

added to at various intervals since, so
that the average age of the works is less
than ten years. Now experts have con-
demned the plant as obsolete. and 1t is
necessary to rebuild it entirely in order
to make it at all satisfactory. These
facts account for the allowance of a II
