The Kind Chinese.

The Chinese never punish an an
imal; hence mule that in the hands
of foreigner would not only be use
less but dangerous to every one
about it becomes in the possession
of a Chinaman as quiet as a lamb
and as tractable as dog. We never
beheld runaway, jibbing or VI
cious mule or pony in China, but
found the same rafting, cheerful
pace maintained over heavy or light
roads by means of a "tur-r" or
"clock-k," the beast turning to the
right or left and stopping with but
a hint from the reins. This treat
ment is extended to all the animals
they press into their service. Often

getting a large drove of sheep
through narrow, crowded streets
and alleys by merely having little
boy to lead one of the quietest of
the flock in front. The others stead

Korean SeesaW.

Korean girls are fond of playing
at seesaw. A bag full Of sand
about a foot in thickness is placed
on the ground. Across this is placed
a plank, and stretched alongside at a
proper height for the children to
grasp and steady themselves is
rope.
The young Koreans do not sit
down, as English and American
girls would do, but stand erect on
the ends of the plank. One gives an
upward spring and as she alights on
the board gives the other skyward
toss, who, as she alights in turn,
throws the first girl aloft a little
higher. And so the sport goes on
until in their upward flight each girl
is thrown two or three feet into the
air. Frequent rests are necessary,
but the pastime is the occasion of
much merriment.

JAPANESE poLITENESS.
Even the Thief Apologies to the Police
For Troubling Them.

The politeness of the japanese IL
what one might expect Of a country
where the thief apologies to the
policeman for giving him so much
trouble. If you want to learn the
language and hire teacher he is
far too polite to tell you of your
mistakes. "This authority" says
Mr.. Scherer, teacher who has lived
long in Japan. usually proceeds
upon the hypothesis that foreigner
cannot learn japanese AWAY and
that the most the teacher may hope
to do is to persuade him that he
can" Xavier, the first great mis-
sionary to Japan, held that the Ian
guage was an invention of the devil
to prevent the preaching of the
Christian faith, and most students
have agreed so far as the first part
OF the phrase is concerned. Mr..
Scherer tells of a missionary who
fancied he had made progress
enough to deliver a sermon in the
native tongue. This feeling was in
tensitied as a dignified and inter-
ested listener came forward with
words of gratifed comment. But
the appreciative auditor continued:
"Truly, as for the honorable sermon,
it was greatly interesting. | lis
tened to it well. If you ask why,
it was the first time ever heard
discourse in the English tongue.
And how much your language is like
the language of Japan!'
Politeness may sometimes take a
mereenary form. Mr.. Scherer says:
"My own most impressive lesson in
the art of oriental politeness oc-
Cured at an early pecuniary trans
action. Upon asking a japanese
merchant the price of some fancy
shells he told me they were 10 cents
each. Now l said to him, you
have just fifteen of them left and |
need them all. So what will be the
price if 1 take the entire lott? At
ter elaborate figuring on the ever
present abacus he replied that the
fifteen would cost $1.75. Thinking
that my friend the merchant had
made a mistake or that his abacus
was out of order, l confidently called
attention to the fact that since all
the articles were being purchased
there should rather be reduction
in the price than an increase, Not
at ALL he replied, with a pitying
smile. 4 sell you my entire stock of
shells. Then when some other GUS
toner comes to buy |, forsooth, am
out. And that will be impolitely
announcement to him; hence the ex-
ira charge for my impoliteness.'"

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Blind Mays Singing School Is an
Amusing Game.

One player must be blindfolded to
take the ptrt of teacher. The rest
of the party compose the class and
sit in line facing her.
She then informs her class that
they will begin the lesson by singing
the scales. The head girl, or the one
at the end of the line, Immediately
sings "Ah" and the next "Ah" a
little higher or lower, just as she
chooses, and so it goes all the way
down the line, each singing a note
in any way that she may wish. The
teacher must listen attentively, and
any time she thinks she recognizes
a voice she stops the class and calls
the singer by name. If she guesses
correctly she changes places with the
pupil, who in turn becomes teacher,
but if not she must keep on guess
ing.
Every time a new teacher. is Sc
lected the whole class must change
seats, so that the voices may not be
recognized by the direction from
which they come.
A little variety may be introduced
into the game by singing well
known song instead of scales, each
pupil singing the word which comes
to her to supply. 1t is the privilege
of each teacher to direct her class
to sing whatever she may choose,
either song or exercise.
