Probably there is no tradesman on
American soil who lives closer to his
place of business than does a certain
Chinese fruit dealer, whose stall at the
orner of Clay street and Waverly
place is one Of the regulation sights Of
Chinatown i'll San Francisco. This
merchant of the curb has his residence
in an upper story of his modest stand,
sandwiched in between his topmost
shelf and an overhang, which projects
from the second floor of the house
against whose wall the fruit stall is
built. This bit of a room, which is
about as commodious as a deal packing
box. such as upright pianos are shipped
in. is provided with very small
window and one door. When the la
bors of the day are over, which in Chi
natown is about midnight. Charlie-no
Chinaman likes to be called John-puts
up his stall shutters, extinguishes his
gasoline light and is ready for bed. BY
means of a ladder he mounts to his
solitary chamber, pulls the ladder up
after him. and shutting his door is as
snug as you please until morning. A
close place for a hot night, you think,
but then the climate of San Francisco
is peculiar in having no hot nights-at
least that is what the San Franciscans
tell yOu.-Philadelphia Record.

The s-hepherd,s Purse.

A valuable little plant that goes to
waste by roadsides and vacant lots is
the shepherds purse, whose tiny seed
pods are known by everybody at sight,
though not by name. The green seeds
stripped from the stems and strewn
over lettuce or endive are a piauant
addition to salads of which no epicure
Will need to taste twice to be assured.
The fresh, peppery taste suggested in
n of its names, "wayside cress,' is
yet finer than common cress. But its
curative qualities need dwelling up0n.s
for it is said to be one of the surest
remedies for a d~isordered digestion.
The seed is eaten green. When the
lower pods are set and the top still in
flower is the best time. but 1t can be
used any time. The pleasant, warm
ing, clearing, purifying effect is felt
at once, and the only directions are to
cat the seeds often and as much as is
agreeable. For croupy children it may
be boiled in milk, but for elderly per-
son this is unnecessary.-New York

On Floral Emblem.
Whether 1t was a mistake or d joke

a question that Is still puzzling most
OF the passengers. But no matter
about that; it cerainly was a floral
masterpiece. Full four feet of it stood
from the ground, in the form Of a

composed the body of the cross, and
dainty white blossoms and green
leaves formed the trimmings. In the
center the word Peace" was spelled
out in rosebuds.
Everybody in the car admired the
offering, and when the boy set It, down
on the floor all leaned forward to ex.
anime 1t more closely. At length one
gentleman stood up and readjusted his
glasses in order to get a better look
at it.

A DUTIFuL SON.
Story About Him Comes From the Other
Side of the World.

Side of the World.
One of the finest traits in the char.
acter of a Chinaman, be he of high or
low estate, is his %unbounded reverence
for his parents, his complete submits
sion TO parental rule, writes a CORE
spondent of the Penang Straits Settle
menD Bulletin. From earliest child
hood he is taught to repose implicit
confidence in his parents and to render
cheerful obedience to their orders, and
even anticipate their wishes.
The alteration of a really dutiful son
for his parents is practically limitless
and the degree Of respect for them is
often so marked that it appears to the
uninitiated to be reverence bordering
on W. There are no limits to the
length of pilgrimages which a good
son will undertake in the performance
of such acts as he knows or believes
will give pleasure to his parents-what
he knows to be his duty-and during
the last few days a very striking in
stance Of this came to our notice. We
refer to Lin Paik Kew, a very busy
man, who travelled all the way from
British North Borneo to Penang to
take part in the celebration of the sew
enty-irst anniversary of the birth of
his mother, Nine. Cheah Lean Ngoh.
widow of Lin How Eve, one of the
best known merchants of Penang for
years prior TO his death.
The celebration festivities com
menced on Tuesday last. when a large
number of relatives and friends were
entertained at dinner by the son, OF 6s
King street. who responded to the toast
of his mothers health in Il very neat
speech, teemiDg with feiicitous ailu.

careful training aud good care he at
tributes so much of his success in life.
For the amusement Of the poor and to
enable them to share in the celebration
there was Il performance OF Chinese
