Five Deaths From Exposure In
Boston.

Boston, Jan. 4.-With the mercury
lowering around the zero mark In this
city and reaching an extreme of 35
degrees below in northern Maine, with
a foot of snow piling up at exposed
points in huge drifts that delayed
traffic, caused the abandonment of
street railway schedules and in many
cases interfered with the street light
ing systems. New England slowly
emerged Sunday from the clutches of
the widest blizzard that has swept
this part OF the country since the
memorable storm of November, 1898.
The gale, accompanied by a blind
ing fall of snow, swept the coast from
Newport, r. l., to PASSPORT, Me-, I'M
til noon today, when it moved east
ward, and tonight was raging with a
most unprecedented violence over the
maritime provinces. New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia suffered most.

A Chinese Auction.

The Celestial always seems to do
things differently from other nations
and men. Perhaps nowhere is this
more apparent than at an auction sale
in China. To stranger 1t is a most
curious spectacle. 1t is a quiet, SOL
emn proceeding, perfect silence being
preserved the whole time. In this
particular 1t is unlike the noise and
confusion that usually reigns on like
occasions in this part of the world.
The auctoneer leans over a slightly
elevated counter and exhibits his
wares. He says nothing, either does
the bidder, who merely steps forward
to the aucioneer and runs his fingers
up his sleeve, making pressures on
the salesman's arm, indicating In this
manner how much he Is willing to pay
for the article. Then another and
another repeat the action until the
one signifying the highest price re-
ceives the article without a word be-
ing exchanged on either side. Only
the auctioneer and the successful bid
der know the price offered and accept
ed. The opportunity for faYoritism
in this method is apparent, and doubt
less Is often acted upon.
