HEARSE DRIVERS ARE PROUD.
Careful Jehus Often Rewarded With
Generous Tips After the Interment.

"Hearse driving is regular occupa-
ton in Washington and other large
cities" said a well known liveryman.
land there are drivers in the city who
have not pulled the reinS over horses
hooked to any other vehicle than 4
hearse for years. They would not feel
at home seated on the box of a carriage
Or trap of any kind. Strange, too.

ago about horses leaIninS> to know
when they We're attending a funeral
was every word true. Yes. sir; the
horses know what is going on just as
well as the drivers. There can be no
doubt about this fact. One of the most
spirited horses l ever owned was per-
fectly docile when hooked to hearSa-
or funeral carriage. He was liable to
1un away and smash Up things at any
other time, but [ would not have been
afraid for my ten-year- old boy TO have
driven him when hooked to Il hearse.
"Hearse drivers get to that point
where they kick like Texas pony IL
they are called on to drive a carriage,
and one reason for this, l suppose, is
the fact that q good careful driver at
funeral Is often rewarded with gen
erous tips Just the other day one OF
my men received a crisp five-spot from
the brother of a lady who was buried
at Mount Olvet. People. and especially
rich ones. are far more liberal at flu
nerals than at marriages. If every
thing passes off smoothly at funeral
the drivers are sure to be substantially
remembered. While some of the un-
dertakers own their own hearses aud
carriages, most OF them depend en- the
liverymen for everything, and no stable

Queer Cafes
In China

DLACES of rest and refreshment are
u commonly to be found at the
halting station on the highways
in the interior, or at the villages on
the banks of the great rivers of China.
They frequently take the form of Il
small mud hut, having a dark interior
filed with smoke, tea tables, forms,
and an oven, where cook is kept busy
baking tea bread and frying puddings
for the entertainment of the custo-
mers, whose favorite beverage is tea,
although when times are good and the
weather cold they indulge in something
stronger, which often inebriateS, and
that at very cheap rate. In the
darkest corner there are a row of glaz-
ed earthenWare jars, containing kind
of Chinese. whisky. of which a thirsty
carter may have a Skinful for some
thing considerably under q penny;
when he will go quietly to sleep on the
shaft of his cart, and his pony or mule,
being used to it, will take him home.
In addition to these convemences,
there is an ingenious little furnace in
front, having a long fiue, through
which the flame is driven by an air
pump, and a row of hot-water kettles,
gradually increasing in sIze TO suit
the heat of the tongue of flame that
passes up the hue beneath, so thai
they may all be kept boiling. The hot
water is sold to the paSSerS-by, who
usually carry with them their teapot
and tea, so that they may have cup
at every station. This custom of car
rying ones own tea. says Golden Pen
ny, is so common that it is difficult to
procure cup of tea in any of the
restaurants, as they do not keep it,
and do not care to go out of their way
to buy it for you. Although the plant
may be growing all round, and at ones
very feet, it is next to impossible to
get a cup that a foreigner would con-
slider worth drinking; and as to using

YOUNG MAN

If by your own acts. through the
folly of youth, you have violated a
single law of nature against body
or mind, by omission or commits
sion, especially through any habit
by constantly repeating the same.
then there Is no escaping the pun
ishment made and provided for ev-
cry transgression, which is Sick
ness, Decay or Death. The nm
mutabie laws OF nature, governing
and regulating the universe, are so
nicely adjusted both in the animal
and vegetable kingdoms that for
every violation of any law there
is a fixed penalty of Sickness. De
cay and Death. This is as certain
as night follows day. And you.
young man, must pay the penalty
right here on this earth, in this
life, sooner or later.
