Marriage After Death I'm China

The strangest of all strange Chinese
customs is that of marriage after
death. When young person of mar
riageable age dies minated the fond
parents give him or her mate ''in
order not to let their loved one lie all
alone in the cemetery"
The details of the marriage are usu-
ally arranged by a slant-eyed Schad-
chen for a consideration. When all is
settled q grave is dug alongside that
OF the boy or young man to become a
groom. Then the casket of the dead
bride is removed from it's resting place
and carried to that of the groom with
great ceremony and with attendance
of all relatives and friends A band
Is never missing The more well-to-do
the father-in-law the more bands At
the head of the procession a red flag
is carried lin order to show the soul
of the young girl the road"
The relatives await the bride az his
grave There is a religious ceremony
when the second coffin arrives. Con-
CALCULATIONS, singing and musical ex-
ercises follow. These signify the we'd
ding. When the brides coffin is low
cred into the grave there is much cry
ing and Iamentation.

FLAT JEWELLERS WAYS.
Watering the Fire Escape Garden

Watering the Fire Escape Garden
-Pipe-smokinE Etiquette.
What I don't understand" said
Mrs. Flatdweller, to a New York Sun
man, as the way some folks water the
plants they keep on the fire escape.
Now, you see, we've got a few plants
out Of your fire escape, and when l
water them / take care always not to
flood either the pots or the saucers.
There are people living under US, and
1t Is not impossible that they might
have out on their fire escape something
drying, or they might have plants there
that they don't want wafer to drip on.
If they have nothing there they don't
want water dripping down from above
anyway, because it would spatter from
the fire escape to the windows.
Il have lived under people. nice peo-
pie, too, who seemed to forget entirely
that there was anybody living under
them, and who would simply pour
water on their plants and let 1t run
down in streams to spatter everywhere.
iDOiA JOd ILiiih II NutCI uDoul mat.
what gets me-" said Mr.. Flatdwell-
er, sis how a man can sit at an open
window smoking a pipe and when he
gets through smoking knock the ashes
out of his pipe on the window sill.
There may be sparks In the pipe as
well as ashes, and both are liable to
be blown into open windows below. l
don't exactly see how men can be so
thoughtless as to do this, but some men
are. So, you see, women are not the only
thoughtless creatures. There are
thoughtless men also.
But l don't pour water down the
fire escapes" said Mrs. Flatdweller,
land you don't knock ashes out of the
window"
True" said Mr. Flatdweller, grow
ing philosophical now, "but II we
should consult our neighbors and they
would tell us frankly, 1 dare say that
we should discover that we do, with
out thinking, things that they don't
like, just as they do some things that
don't strike us pleasantly 1t is so
much easier for US to see the faults of
others than it is for us to realize our
own"

DROP IN STOCK PRICES.
The Farmer Is Getting Richer and
the Speculator Poorer.

the Spectator Poorer.
Wheat and corn are going up and
stocks are going down. writes William
f. Curtis in the Chicago Record Herald.
The farmer is getting richer and the spec
ulator poorer-wh.ch many people will
agree is in the line of eternal justice.
Stocks are lower now than they have been
for several years. They are now down
practically where they were at the time
of Mckinley's election. when The Era of
Prosperity" set in. The decline has been
general, affecting almost everything in the
list of securities available to the public
and Wall street statisticians declare that
the total shrinkage amounts to at least
S3,o0O,00O,000 But the value of the
property these stocks represent and their
earning capacity has not been Impaired
In most cases the dividends will not be
affected; the shrinkage only represents
water that has been squeezed out and the
spectators are practically the only suf-
ferers. The permanent investor who has
locked his certificates up in tin box and
put them away in the safe deposit vault is
not likely to suffer from the present
shrinkage His property is worth just as
much as it ever was, but the certificates
no longer have the fictitious value given
them by the gamblers.
The slump is by no means confined to
New York or to American securities. 1t
mas been general all over the world. Brit
ish, French, German, Italian, Indian and
South American shares have suffered a
marked decline, although in no case has
it been SO Sharp as NAV be seen in the
quotations of American induStrials. Lon
don and Northwestern railroad stock has
dropped twenty-five points, shares in the
copper mines of Spain have fallen twenty
four points, those of the Great Eastern
railway of England are twenty points
lower than they were at the beginning
of this year. British consols have drop
ped per cent; japanese. Chinese. Rus
sian, South African, Egyptian and Indian
railway securities and government bonds
have all fallen off from 3 to 20 per cent,
while South African mining stocks are q
per cent below the quotations for Jan. 2.
1907. French railway and bank stocks
have sympathized with the general de-
preston and in Germany the same condi-
tons prevail The stock of the Bank of
France and the Credit Lyonnais of Paris,
which are among the strong institutions
in the world, sympathize with less val
liable securities and show decline of
several per cent. Therefore American in
vestors should not feel at all uneasy, but
should congratulate themselves that by
this universal shrinkage they have es-
capped the perils of a local panic

The race is pronounced by experts to
be the most remarkable in the history
of aeronautics. All racing records were
broken, both for length of flight and for
the time spent in the air. HE worlds
non-competitive endurance record was
also shattered, although the, worlds
non-cOmpetitive record for distance still
stands by big margin.
The German balloon Pommern landed
at Asbury Park, \. j. The balloon had
covered 900 miles in an air line from
st. Louis in fOrtytwo hours. an aver
age of nearly twenty-one aud one-half
miles an hour This established rec
ord for the race. the winning balloon in
last years initial race starting from
Paris covering an air line distance of
only 402 miles. Mr.. Erbsloeh and his
aid, Prof. Clayton. thus carry off the
international aeronautic cup and cash
prize of $500. The result OF the con-
test was determined by the number of
air miles covered in the flights. The
French balloon L'ISle de France made
honors and came down in New Jersey,
but a few miles from the Pommern. The
Pommern made an extraordinary flight
When it came down it was in excellent
condition and could have added several
more hundred miles to its taliy had the
open ocean not been ahead.
The reports show that an extremely
wide area of country was covered by
the balloons, the points at which the
nine contestants landed being separated
by long distances Besides the two bal
looms which came to earth in New Jer-
sey. two more descended in Virginia,
while two others landed in Maryland.
One of the contestants descended in
Ohio, another in Delaware, While Major
II. 3. Hersey reached the earth in On
tario. Major Jersey used the United
States, the same balloon in which he
won the race with Lieut. Lahm last
year. He was eighth.
The victory of the German balloon
held under the auspices of the German
Aero Club. The international cup. which
is the gift of James Gordon Bennett,
must be won three times by the same
club to be held permanently.

at that time represented the interesting
sum Of 35 shillings a week. During

Meantime, Mr.. and Mrs. John Pringle

AT the end Of a year John Pringle
became a father. Basing his claim
to consideration on the merits Of that
interesting fact, John Pringle laid his
long apprenticeship before the manager
and asked him for a raise The mana
ger clapped John Pringle on the back,
gave him a whisky and soda and told
him not to talk such rot. John Pringle
refused the whisky and soda and went
home to Mrs. Pringle and lied He
said that, by virtue of becoming a
father, he had been raised ten bob a

jelly and oysters to celebrate the occa-

of the future that awaited the baby,
now that his father had begun to get
his chance. Four days later, John
Pringle, who had starved himself to a
shadow, tainted at rehearsal and was
sent home in a four-wheeled cab.

Moving Occupied House Down River.

S. NJ. Depew Of Orange, Tex, re-
Gently accomplished quite a feat in
house moving, having moved G. s.
Reister's residence from its former 10
cation at Riverside, several miles above
Orange, on the Sabine River, to loca-
ton In the southern part of Orange.
The house was placed on rollers and
safely placed on a big barge. The
barge was then towed down the river
to a landing opposite the street on
which the lots are located which were
TO be occupied by the house, and the
building was then rolled of the boat
and safely located several blocks away.
The work of moving the house from
Louisiana into Texas, across rhe Sabine
River, was accomplished while 1t was
still occupied by Mr.. Reister, who never
moved out during that time and whose
house furnishings were not disturbed in
the move.

THE BELL OF THE ANGELS.

It is said, somewhere, at twilight
A great bell softly swings.
And a MAJ may listen and hearken
To the wondrous music that rings,
III he put from his hearts inner chamber
All the passion, pain and strife.
Heartache, and weary longing
That throb in the pulses Of life;
III he thrusts from his soul all hatred,
All thoughts of wicked things.
He can hear in the holy twilight
How the bell Of the angels rings.
Let us look in our hearts, and question
Can purer thoughts enter in
To a soul if it be already
The dwelling of thoughts of sin?
So, then, let us ponder little
Let us look in our hearts, and see
II the twilight bell of the angels
Can ring for you and me.
