Boston Orders Police to "Swat" Flies

Chinese Masons Have Weird Funeral

NJ EW ORLEANS, LATHE most
" spectacular funeral ever held in
New Orleans took place the other day
when the body Of Ching Sing, secre,

men in the south, was taken to the
Firemen's cemetery. There were TO-

People Have Ever Been Enormous
Poultry Raisers and Exporters
Ducks Are Picked and Dried.

Hongkong.-For hundreds of years
China was the greatest poultry produc-
ing nation in the world, and probably
this is true today, not only as regards
the total production, but also per cap
ita use. OF the more than 3O0,0000O
population Of China. shown by the last
census, there are few indeed who do
not in the course of year consume
something in the way Of poultry
chickens or ducks or geese-and GER
tainly large number Of eggs. For
considerable portions of the population
poultry is the only animal food used,
and for the more well-to-do classes 1t Is
an ordinary meat diet the year around.
Ducks are picked, dried, timed and
otherwise preserved and shipped to
many parts of the world to Chinese
who are away from a home supply.
Eggs of all kinds are used fresh and
are cured by burying in clay and lime
until they acquire something Of the
quality of cheese and are a great Chi
nese luxury. 1t is easy to calculate
that to meet all these lines OF con-
sumption the output of poultry and
poultry products neSds to be enor-
nous.
For the most part chickens and
ducks are produced upon the usual ba-
sis Of practically all Chinese produc-
tion-the family householder at most

he advanced to the coffin, making an
address. The other Chinese bowed
in reverence. Chin Bak On, the as
sistant grand master Of the order, fol.
lowed Foo. Gee Toi Sing followed.
He is the second priest Of the altar.
Then all the Chinese in the room, in
pairs, marched to the feet Of the
corpse and bowed down in reverence,
kissing the floor as a tribute to their
leader. Throughout the proceedings
not tear was shed.
At the cemetery Chin Bak On, as

the procession into the tomb, where,
with a few waves of his hands, he
drove the evil spirits from the place
The foodstuffs that had been placed at
the feet Of the corpse in the undertak-
ing establishment were placed in front
of the grave. A crate in the tomb
contained a fire, in which incense was
thrown. Then there was more chant
ing, the cover was fastened upon the
casket, and the ceremony was over.
The body will be shipped to China.

NEW YORK.-The urgent need of an
~ appropriation of 100000 from the
legislature for Letchworth Village, the
new state institution for the feeble
minded at West Haverstraw, was dis
cussed at a meeting of the board Of
managers at the office Of Frank A.
Vanderlip, the president, at the Ma
tional City Bank. The board went
over final plans for the erection Of
buildings on the 1000 acres Of land
owned there by the state, which will
eventually house $500 adults and chill
dren of both sexes.
DR.. c. S. Little, the superintendent,
told of the arrival at the institution
of the first quota of inmates. thirty
two boys from Randall's Island. DR..
Little said that the boys took to farm
life quickly. 'T have to take back
with me a baseball outfit for two
teams and a suit Of armor for the UNI
pire," explained Dr.. Little to the man
ayers. I'VE expect to organize

der conviction, praying with those
who were groaning crying, shouting
with those who thought they had re-
ligion, clapping their hands, roaring
'Hallelujah,' and in every way seeking
to promote the excitement which had
already passed beyond their control.
Many men seemed actually crazed
with religious enthusiasm. 1t seems
paradoxical to say it, but Whole groups
could be seen in a sort Of hysteria,
crying and laughing at the same time,
embracing one another and perform
ing antics that would have justified a
lookeT-on in the belief that they were
all insane. Many cases Of the jerks
occurred, many of the soldiers went
into frances, some had visions, and
one member Of a Tennessee regiment
claimed to have a revelation which
foretold the coming of Jesus Christ,
with IL legions of angels to assist the
Confederate cause. He said that all
human help was vain, and after the
Confederacy had been reduced to the
last possible extremity, then Christ
and his angels would appear, drive
back the Union armies, and the cause
would be saved. OF course the pDor
man was insane; he afterwards died
in an asylum, but there were many
like him, and many, too, who believed
in him and his prophecies. But no
wonder can be felt at the numerous
cases of insanity, both religious andl
otherwise, which occurred in the Cori
federate armies during the last yea
of the var" E

in China, even in the larger cities, that
do not have at least some chickens,
Near the ports open to foreign trade
there are a few rather good sized poul'

in immense numbers on farms along
the canals and rivers Of central and
south China and are much more COM

the canal. The ducks are trained to
obey him, and armed with long bam'

their movements and takes them back
to shelter for the night. The surplus

A dispatch from St Louis tells of
a divorce suit file by Lieutenant
Comfort, Of the United States navy,
against his wife. former Filipino
belle. Abandonment is the ground on
which he asks a decree. The case
suggests one of the oldest themes in
all the world-the charm of the for.
eign woman, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. What age has not felt and
celebrated It? Let Homer and his
Helen, and the writer of the beautiful
story of Ruth, the Moabite woman,
bear witness for antiquity. AS for
our own times, how often the theme
recurs! But with us the theme often
undergoes a slight variation. II be-
comes one of predestined sadness.
Even at the beginning of many such
relations there are minor chords full
OF fugitive suggestions of pathos and
perhaps despair The bright cherry
blossoms are doomed to wither, the
gorgeous lotus flowers to shrink and
die. Witness Pierre Lofts Madame
Chrysantheme and the touching little
stories Of the operas Madame Butter
fly and Lakme. How natural it seems
for the European man to yield even
to the charms of these beautiful, exo-
tic types! How impossible to con-
ceive Of any ending save a sad one,
even though we would fain delay the
catastrophe!
