 Except at the Chinese New Year which comes in February, it is yer, hard to catch a glimpse of children in China. Little beggars will run beside you for miles to earn l cash ( copper coin with square hole in tic middle of 1t. worth the twentieth of 2 cent. but children who have parents to care for them seem to be kept in floors all the time or only allowed to play in walled yards and gardens. w, used to say to each other: "Why, where are the children?

The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1910-12-15
A Shock For Tennyson.

If any one asked Holman Hunt
about persons he would tell delightful
frank anecdotes concerning, maybe,
the great men he knew and loved and
measured exactly. He liked spice of
fun in everything, too, and his face
beamed as he described a walk with
Tennyson he had lately taken. They
heard footsteps behind, and the great
man frowned. How they dog us.
Hunt! How shall we escape them"
"Just sit on the stile till they pass"
said the matter Of fact artist. They
did so, and two lads in knickerbockers
marched by swinging their sticks and
not even turning their heads. Tenny-
son was chapfallen.
"Do you know, Hunt" he said, II do
not think they know who am"
Every likely, my dear Tennyson, and
they would not even know If you
told mr'-"Recollections Of Holman
Hunt in London Academy.

The Curious Electric Eel.

The electric eel, which is common In
the streams of Brazil, is possessed of
a natural electric battery-a tremen-
dous one. Beneath the skin are two
pairs Of peculiar little bodies passing
longitudinally along the muscles and
near the tail. One pair Is next to the
back and the other near the lower fin.
These bodies are made up Of a great
number of little cells, two or three hun
dred of them, and plentifully supplied
with nerves. Examination OF one of
these electrical organs has shown that
In action it Is very much like gal.
vanic battery, with the anterior ex-
tremely positive, the posterior mega
tive and the current only discharged
at the point of contact with an object
This has been proved to be so power
full when complete that chemical com
pounds are decomposed by it and steel
needles magnetized.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1910-12-15
sIss Short Words.

Literary aspirants should religtously
eschew polysyllabic photography. The
philosophical and pathological substruc-
ture of this principle Is ineluctable.
Excessively attenuated verbal SYM
bols inevitably induce unnecessary
completely and consequently exagger-
ate the obfuscatfon CT the mentality OF
the peruser. Conversely, expressions
which are reduced to the furthermost
minimum of simplification and COM
pactness, besides contributing realistic
verisimilitude, constitute much less
onerous handicap to the readers per-
spicacity.
Observe, for instance. the unmistak-
able and unacceptable expressiveness Of
onomatopoedc, interjectional. mono
syllable utterances, especially when
motivated under strenuous emotional
circumstances. How much more ap-
pealing is their euphonious pulchritude
than the preposterous and pretentious
pomposity Of elongated verbiage.-Life.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1910-12-15
A "Primitive" Painter.

Henri Rousseau, a man who used to
hold a minor government position in
France, was for a quarter Of CEN
fury the joke of artists and art students
in Paris. For years in the independ-
ent salon he showed daubs which
had not the most distant kinship with
art. Some of his famous pictures
were a Lady on a Sofa In Jungle"
a "Tiger In Jungle" "Nigger In a
Jungle" He affected jungles, which
consisted of innumerable parallel green
lines to represent grass; the tiger was
a painted wooden toy; the lady looked
as if she had come out of Noah's
ark. The unfortunate Rousseau went
on exhibiting the same sort Of work
every year, and the painful thing was
that he gradually became a celebrity.
Sinister humorists told him he had
genius, and he took himself quite Sc
riously. 81 am a real primitive" he
would say. Some practical jokers even
went the length of buying his pictures.

A characteristic story OF John Bright
In told by Mrs. T. p. O'Connor In her
book, '.I Myself" He was at dinner
one night with an II. P. whose wife
by no means shared her husbands
democratic sentiments. John Bright
was sitting near his hostess, and she
was rather annoyed at having him
among her smart guests and thought
to give him a direct snub. SO she said
during a pause In the conversation:
"Mr Bright, this rug. understand.
was made by you. and l am very dis
satisfied with it. I have only had 1t
a short time, and 1t Is very shabby and
badly made"
ais itr said Mr.. Bright. getting up
deliberately from the table and taking
a silver candelabrum. which he put
down upon the floor. and, getting upon
his knees, closely examined the car
pet. You are quite right" he said,
blithely getting up; ait is bad car
pet, and will order my firm to send
you another in its place" And then
he calmly resumed his political con-
versation, and the dinner went on
