 rh. FilisI Chinarasn.

Many examples of Chinese filial piety utrike the occidental reader as ridicu- Ious, There is the famous story Of Tao Laitsu. which Mir. R. f. Johnston repeats in his "Lion and Dragon h Northern China" Laos parents lived to such extreme old age that he was himself toothless old man while they were both still alive. "Conceiv- inq 1t his duty to divert their atten' tion from their weight of years and approaching end, he dressed himself up in the clothes of child and played 6Sout in his parents presence with 1Ae object of making them think they were still a young married couple con. templating the innocent gambols of their infant son."
 A similar case is that of Wang P'ou, whose mother had an unconQuerable oread of thunder and lightning. When Ghe died she was buried in . mountain forest, and thereafter, when violent thunderstorm occurred, Wang P'ou, heedless of tho wind and rain, would kurry to her grave and throw himself . Ais knees. T am here to protect you, dear mother" he would say Do not be afraid"

A Good Sleeper.

Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi- nary story of the impassiveness of Louis XVIII. When he was minister ef foreign affairs a courier came to him one evening bearing unpleasant news, and he therefore postponed the communication of 1t to the king till next morning. when he explained that he was afraid the tidings might have disturbed his majesV's sleep. The king replied: Nothing disturbs my sleep. as you may see from this in stance. The most dreadful blow of my life was my brothers death. The courier who brought this dreadful news arrived at 8 o'clock in the even ing. For many hours l was quite overcome. but at midnight l went to bed and slept my usual eight hours" The stesk q is told by the Duchesse do Dino. Talleyrand's niece, h her mem o1rs.

 Maklno q 0unstooIs

\ party of men were out hunting. and an old woodsman who was with them broke his gunstock in some way er other. It was just about nightfall when the accident occurred, and inas- much as he was very anxious to do some shooting early the next morning he decided to fix up his shooting iron. Finding q walnut fence rail, he set to work. His only tools were an ax and . big pocket knife. All night long he 'labored vigorously at his task. and by morning the gunstock was finished and back in place and worked like charm.
 How did you do itr' asked one of the number, greatly surprised.
 "very easy.' was this old hunters reply. "No trouble at all. Just get a piece of wood about the size and kind that you want and then whittle away all that you want whittled away. When you have all the wood cut off that you don't want you have a gun stock. ."-Kansas City Journal

BURNT CORK.

 CTS When "Blacking Up."
 The popular impression as to the ap- ,Heation of burnt cork by minstrel performers and actors in general is yhnt it is rubbed on the face and hands at the player from cork whose end rs aarred ill Il convenient gas jet. This Impression is, however. incorrect. The burnt cork used by minstrels and others is the product of the theatrical -paint factories" just as Is any other cosmetic or pigment employed by the profession.
 One house makes 1t in the following manner: The corks are placed in three dn vessels. resembling wash boilers. with holes punched in their sides and oottom Alcohol is sprinkled over the ,orks. and they they are fired" When the corks have been properly charred they are placed in muslin sacks, which Ire knc&ded in barrels of water. This operation forces the powdered charcoal through the sacks into the water.
 When all the charred corks have been worked through the sacks into he water i'll this way the water is drained through close canvas sack. and what remains in that sack is ready for the performers. The stuff h put up in cans, from which. when he minstrel is ready to "black up," he takes little of the black paste in his hands and applies 1t to his face. neck end sometimes his hands.-New York Herald.
