Chinese Church choir.

San Francisco has a real Chinese choir
1t is a church choir complete in all its
parts and composed of young Chinese
vocalists, who are accompanied on the
organ by a Chinese %organist. 1t sings
to a purely Chinese congregation COM
posed of Aen, women and children. 1t
was in 1886 that a Chinese branch of the
Presbyterian church was formed in San
Francisco. 1t was found extremely hard
to bring the men and women together fol-
worship. There was a religious and So
cial chasm that the men shrunk from
crossing. But concessions were made and
the women we're allowed to worship be-
hind screens and curtain. Prejudices
were lost as time wore on and in 1887
curtains and screens begun to be lowered
and fianally to disappear. But the men
kept to one side of the church and the
women to the other. But the choir marks
one of the most positive advances, for in
it young men and young women stand
side by side and their voices blend sweet
ly, rhythmically and devotionally in
hymns of praise.-N. Y. Tribune.

HIS EFFORTS UNAVAILING.
Youth with Distasteful Hair Deter
mines to Change Its Color
at All Hazards.

Many and varied are the tales told of
the efforts of some girls and women, too,
for that matter, to change the color of
their hair to some hue more desirable
than that of natures bestowing, but
it is not often that n hears of a boy
of 16 wasting any gray matter worrying
over his hair, whatever interest he may
ance. There is one boy of that age in
town, however, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, who thinks that nature might
have been more kind to him and who
strenuously objects to his Titan hued
locks. To no avail have his mother and
sisters assured him that his curly hair is
"a perfectly lovely auburn shade and
they just wish they had it." Everything
in the way of tonic and hair oil that the
boy could obtain he has secured and
used, without in the least dimming it's
brightness, but he capped the climax by
his latest exploit. From some source
or other he got a bottle Of ebony colored
dye, warranted to take the fire out of
the reddest hair that ever grew on hui
man head and to color the glowing locks
inky black instead. Fearing discovery
while in the act of changing red to
black the boy daubed the mixture on
hurriedly and without the aid of a mir
ror. Then he went to bed. The next
morning he faced his astonished rela-
tives at the breakfast table with the
front part of his hair a dingy black,
showing an occasional strand Of red,
and the remainder of his locks as bright
as they ever were. Explanations fol-
lowed, so did a prolonged interview
with the barber and a lecture on the
folly of amateur efforts at hair painting.
Nothing further has been attempted by
the boy for a month or SO, but he has
not given up hopes of success by and
by, and declares hat he's not going to
keep on having red hair when he's a
man, no matter what he has to do to
change it."

When County CLERK Conger finishe

When County CLERK Conger finished
his work in this city, Friday night,
he had issued second papers to 1O5
men who desired to become American
citizens and about $50 others took out
first papers, thus expressing their in
t%ention of becoming citizens of this
COUNTRY. There are few cities in the
State where this record can be sur
passed. Most of these men will be-

China's Formulation,

The official census recently published
by the imperial treasury department CT
China is of nc little interest, since it
furnishes a method of determining just
how many "teeming millions" there are'
1t appears that the celestial empire con
tains 426, 600, 900 inhabitants and that
China proper-the eighteen provinces
contains 407, 900, 900. The number of
inhabitants per square kilometer varies
from POI, in Honan, to 32 in Kansou,
and is, on the average, 103 in the IS
provinces. In Mongolia the number
is OF; in Manchuria, 8; in Yibet, 5, and
in Turkestan, O.S. For comparison we
may recall that Germany has 105 inhab-
itants per square kilometer; Belgium,
220, and the United Kingdom. 100.

Pm Medieval Cities.

There can De no doubt that n rea'
son why cities did not grow so rapidly
in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries as in the nineteenth is the
excessively high death rate that pre-
vailed during the earlier period. The
flood of immigration, mighty as it was.
did little more than fall victims to
~grievous sanitary conditions. From thu
facts that can be obtained it seems to
have been universally true that al
most up to the beginning of the nine
tenth century the death rate of the
large cities exceeded the birth rate
This was not because the birth rate
was abnormally low, but because the
death rate was abnormally high. In
the medieval city both birth rate and
death rate were far higher than al
present. Infant mortality must have
mounted to a grewsome height. The
uncleanliness and overcrowding of city
dwellers, 10Y largely relegated to the
slums of our great cities, was the nor
NAL state of nearly all classes of SO.

1t was an important event for st.
Mary's parish yesterday. The laying
of the corner stone of their new church
marks the completion of the first part
of the work. The walls will now
mount higher and higher until the
handsome editice is completed. The
success of the exercises yesterday is a
matter of congratulation both to the
congregation and to the pastor, Rev.
B. T. O'Connell, under whose direc-
ton such a noble work was started.

Record Breaking Run Taken by
Guests of Engineers Club.

New York. Feb. n.-With $50 members Of
the Engineers club of Philadelphia on
board, a Pennsylvania railroad train made
q record run from that city to jersey City.
The distance was covered in one hour and
forty minutes. and one mile was covered
in thirty-1Ve seconds.
The Philadelphia engineers. who were
the guests Of the Engineers club Of this
city while here, came over to inspect ar
asphalt plant in Long Island City and also
to &C through the rapid transit subway.
They were met in Jersey City by william
Barclay Parsons and several other New
York engineers of prominence. A feature
Of the entertainment was luncheon in the
Hotel Manhattan
The visitors spent two hours in the sub
way and expressed as much wonder at the
progress made as Mr.. Parsons and his as
s~ociates had at the fact that the train they
came over on from Philadelphia had lop-
ped seven minutes off the time made by
the fastest express into Jersey City.
