A Queer Chinese Notion.

One Of the beliefs which the Chinese
are slowly unlearning is that foreign
ers use the eyes and hearts Of China
men in compromising rare and costly
drugs which are valuable aids in
magic. Medicine and magic have for
ages gone hand in hand In China, just
as they once did in Europe. Ignorant
Cinnamon therefore readily believe
such tales. The use Of eyes Of Chinese
by foreigners in metallurgy is describ.
ed in work called "a Deathblow
to Corrupt Practices published in
1870. According to this, when white
Christians had charge of a funeral
they drove all the relatives and friends
from the house. Both eyeballs were
then removed from the corpse, the orr
fees being filed with plaster This
was called sealing the eyes for the
western Journey" By compromising
these eyes with a hundred pounds OF
Chinese lead, this veracious chronicle
continues, eight pounds of silver could
be extracted from it. The sight OF
gans Of any other people were useless
for this purpose. -

''Our national expenditure has

gentleman called to secure contribu-

On learning the object of the visit the
rich man exclaimed:

The.Title nkinq.r

The sovereign title Of king has gen
orally been supposed to be derived
from the old British word "gyning, y
signifying "wise." But the Hebrew
term s'rosch" is doubtless the root Of
all the present titles denoting kingly
power, including the Punic .'resch,' .
the Scythian "reix," the Latin rex
the Spanish Trey" and the French
..roi." The German nations styled their
monarch according to their different
dialects ''konig," .'kuning,'' 'koning,"

popularity or politics ofthe gentlemen.

would have been a different vote.
