COFF1NS FOR THE CHINESE.
The Cole0tiAls Have a Strange Fancy
for Burial Cnsk cts Several
Feet Too Long.

An undertaken whose patronage COW
ers the Chinese quarter on Race street
was talking the other day of the ex-
periences which his calling develops
from time to time
1T is a curious fact" he said, re-
ports the Philadelphia Telegraph,
that the littlest people l am called
upon to bury require the biggest cof-
fins. By littlest mean the littlest as
race-in other words, the Chinese.
l suppose l have officiated at more
Chinese funerals than any other un-
dertaker in the Quaker city. and never
yet have / furnished Chinaman with
coffin that was not several sizes too
big for him. Whether their religion
requires this loose fit l am not pre-
pared to say, but certain it is that bag
giness is vii tue in their collins. just
as it is in their blouses and trousers,
and that every properly constituted
Chinaman selects his last house as
roomy as possible. Take man who
is five feet four inches high, and of
proportionate girth. for example. Nat.
urally fellow of that size could never
cut much of splurge in life. yet when
he comes to die he takes up as much
room as a giant. Not one inch less
than 6h or seven feet will satisfy for
the length of his coffin, the widt must
be three feet, the depth over three
feet and the walls of his coffin at least
two inches thick. These dimensions,
mind you, are for an understood man.
For Chinaman Of the regulation oc-
cidental proportions the size of his
coffin increases in direct ratio to his
own stature and bulk, and the conse-
qnence is that at some of my Chinese
funerals it seems as il were burying
treasure chests instead of receptacles
for dead humanity"

DR.. Klein. one Of the experts Of the
local government board, has been in
vestigating pies on behalf of the de-
partment. From an ordinary ham
and beef shop, on two different oc-
casions," he says in the report just
presented to parliament, 1.-TWO eight
penny pies and two tupenny pies were
bought and analyzed. None contained
bacillus coli, or other coli-like mi
crobes, and none contained the
spores of any pathogenic anaerobe.
But all contained the spores Of amaze
robic nonpathogenic bacillus batyri-
Gus. Also all contained the spores of
bacillus mesentericus vulgatus, and
staphylococcus albus of at least two
different kinds; both of them non.
liquefying and nonpathogenic." And
this 10 not the worst. for "there was
isolated from one of the tupenny
pies q bacillus which, in morphologi'
cal respects resembled the xerosis OF
pseudodiptheria bacillus" - London

FOR YOUNG HOUSEWIVES.
Some Small Items OF Advice That May
Be n Rean,e NIB e red to Their
Advantage.

Necessities should be selected be-
fore decorative articles of furniture.
It is not wise to provide too many
pots, kettles and pans when furnish
ing a kitchen.
It is always decidedly cheaper in
the end to buy only good carpets and
good furniture.
No matter how good the income a
small sum should be put aside regu-
larly for the proverbial rainy day.
A simple dinner well served Is de-
cidedly more enjoyable than an elab-
crate dinner poorly served.
A practical knowledge of ECONOMY
of good cookery" will be absolutely
necessary for the young housewife,
no matter how much ''help" she can
afford to keep.
All bills for marketing should be
paid weekly, or. better still, when the
articles are bought.
With care and economy q small
amount of money will do wonders.
1t is important to be systematic N
looking after the leftovers.
All cold vegetables and scraps OF
meat may be used in soups and salads
and croquettes and many appetizine
ways to numerous to mention.

MAN WHO USED A PURSE.
1t Was Too Much for His Fiancee ana
She Broke the Engage.
ment. :

Rumor has it that belle of this
city broke her engagement with a
certain Washington clfb man, lust
because he carried his money in q
purse reports the Washington Star.
II can't abide," she is quoted as
saying, "a man who carries a purse
at all; and as for one who keeps
his change in it; he is simply beyond
hope, and it's sure to follow that
the man with the little purse will be
as little and close about everything
else. You may not notice it during
the engagement, but it will come
later.
Fancy asking man for money,
and have him extract miserable
little purse, and begin digging down
into it. half the time the little piece
of leather not being capable of hold
ing the amount that one. would or
dinarily pay for simple frock."
And the matron to Whom the
young belle confded the cause of the
broken engagement was heard to re-
mark afterward that she would not
be surprised if there was not consid-
cradle truth in what she had heard,
and, while it might not warrant most
girls breaking an engagement, still.
it was thing for them to ponder
over"

BANKS ON THE INCREASE.
Throughout the Country ana
Bus In eso lAcre0ainQ.

Some recently published statistics
attest the surprising growth of ma
tional banks and savings banks in the
United States. In 1864 there were
fewer than 600 national banking asso-
Citations and their aggregate capital
was considerably less than 100000, 900.
At the end of 1865 the aggregate re-
sources of the national banks, which
then numbered 1,513, amounted to less
than $l,36o,OoO,000, says Harper's
Weekly.
Now let us look at the returns made
to the comptroller OF the currency on
October 1, 1902. At that date the ma
tional banks numbered 4,6O1; their
total capital stock was over STA, ,OOO, 900
and their aggregate circulation $780,
100000. Their aggregate resources
amounted to $6.114.OOO.OOO. The face
value of the United States bonds now
held by national banks is about $457,-
100000 and the individual deposits ex-
ceed $4,000, 100000. The amount of
money paid into the federal treasury
since 1863 by the national banks as
taxes on circulation, capital, deposits,
surplus, etc, reaches $4,000, 900 We
add that the number of shareh olders
in the national banks il $50 1874, to
which total the New England states
and middle states, including under the
last-named term New York. Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Delaware Maryland
and the District of Columbia. contrib
uted more than 226. 900 individuals.
Obviously the national banks are or
ganized and supported by the relative
ly rich. Turning to the savings banks,
which are intended for the relatively
poor, we observe that the aggregate
deposits in these institutions increased
in the five years preceding October l,
1902, from 81 $40 900, 600 to So GAO, ,OOO. 900.
In the same period the number of de-
positors rose from 200 900 TO 6,4OO, 900.
This il an astonishing exhibit when
we consider that in many states the
savings of the poor are invested in the
stock Of buildings associations. It
should also be noted that the federal
government through the money or
ders issued by it's postal department
in 1902 did banking business Of up.

DEGREES OF TEMPERANCE.
You Use I-to4a 4aeatins
Beverages"

Among the regular questions to be
answered by applicants for admission
to the examinations in the city of
New York is the following, says A. M.
Jones, in McClure's: do you use in
toxicating beverages, and if SO, to
what extent?" 1t was a Yankee who
replied: "No, but take drink" and
it was a Swede who carefully estimat-
ed the extent of his indulgence at lone
glass of beer in ten days" The birth
place of a man who wrote that he did
use Intoxicating beverages +but not as
an occupation" is not recorded, but
the nationality of the mournful ap-
plicant who also drank, but mot to
success" may we'll be a matter of
doubt. One applicant of simple vocab-
ulary was content to respond: yes
mild. while another added the assur-
ance that he drank in a "gentlemanly
way" Still another sought to remove
all prejudice from the minds of the
examiners by stating that he never
used any beverages" at all, and one
of his companions admitted using
them, though mot effectively"
The commonest answer to the ques-
tion consists either of the single word
moderately" or of some equivalent
phrase, which, on the whole seems to
the examiners the most suitable re-
sponse. Perhaps the honest soul who
reported himself almost temperate''
was fair representative. SometimeS
by a slip the applicant will write the
reverse Of what he obviously intended,
as when recently one said "immoder-
ation,' and another replied: "Yes, to
no extent"

CAPITALS OMNIBUsEs GONE.
Onay One Of the Gayly Painted
VsAAolss Of 1869 Extant In
wash n KtOn.

"a great many people have asked
me what became of the old omni-
buses which, in the days from 1853
to 1869, before Pennsylvania avenue
was paved, and prior to the advent
of the horse car. used to haul
monopoly of the passenger and trans
fer business at the capital" said a
secondhand vehicle dealer, according
to Washington report. ''In those
buses as 1t is now of trolley cars, and
old residents have often wondered
what became of those gaudy. gayly
painted concerns, capable of holding
40 people. When the street cars took
their places they were torn up for
the material in them. until by 1885
there was just one out of the several
hundred left standing in an old stable
outside the city. There it remained,
neglected and forgotten, until the
Spanish American war, when local
drayage and transfer firm heard of it.
and purchased it for a song.
'sThe firm used it to carry passen
gers, soldiers, officers and visitors be
tween the city and Falls church ant
Camp Alger. It was a lucky hit, fol
the old omnibus is to-day the larges
vehicle in the city, and will accommo
date 50 people. Finding it Of consid
cradle use, the firm, at the end of thu
war with Spain. decided to keep it
and since then has used it for small
picnic parties. 1t is out every Deco
ration day, carrying passengers t.
Arlington. and reminding the old vet
erans of the good old days of 1862. L
is the last relic of the omnibus period
of Washington civilization, and to-da!

The philanthropic policeman tipped

down his cuff and pointed to brick

Sun.
Il don't think I'm fatalist, if that's

opportunities in my business to see
that some people get started wrong
and never have . fair chance.
Its the same thing with buildings.
They get bad name in the beginning,
and that seems to settle them.
THAT house on the corner was put
up as a hotel nearly 30 years ago. 1t
was intended to be all right. but the
owner happened to lease it to the
wrong kind of man, and within six
months after it was opened the police
were in the place. Practically they've
never been out of it since that time.
"The building has been sold several
times and some of the owners have
tried to make it different. But in one
way or another it always seemed to

after it was such failure as re-

an attempt to carry it along on the
other plan. That prospered for awhile,
but there could not have been much
money even in that.
"Landlords came and went. Half the
