Whsre Money Buys Life.

The rich Chinamnn If condemned to
death easily procures q substitute.
Some poor wretch, without money to
secure his spirits from becoming wan
derlng devils, with the price Of his mis-
cradle life can purchase proper care
for his spirit. Anything. in fact. can
be.done If you have the money. 1t Is
this belief that causes the Chlnaman TO
commit suicide by taking his life on the
premises Of his enemy TO take venge-
ance on him. His spirit, he believes,
will forever haunt him. There IS an
other reason also. He knows that as
sure as fate the officials will under
such circumstances come down upon
his enemy and strip him of everything.
Poor Chinese have been known to sell
everything they possessed. tear down
their houses to sell the timber. sell or
rent out their wives and children and
even sell themselves 10 procure money
for the proper rites frr the pace and
comfort Of the ancestral spirits. One
thing alone a Chinese will not do
namely, sacrifice his son.-henneth L.
Junior, NJ. D., in National Geographic
Magazine.

How TO Eat Leather.

The Infamous Captain Morgan ana
his piratical crew were sometimes IN
fight place. at Panama and on one
occasion were reduced to eating their
Ieathern bags. "Some persons" says
one Of the company. Exquemelin
(whose narrative Is reproduced in "The
buccaneers In the West Indies'), "who
never were out of their mothers kitch-
ems may ask how these pirates could
cat, swallow and digest these pieces
of leather so hard and dry. Unto
whom I only answer: That could they
once experiment what hunger, or, rath'
er, famine is, they would certainly lind
the manner by their own necessity, as
the pirates did For these first took
the leather and sliced it III pieces. Then
did they beat it between two stones
and rub It, often dipping 1t in the wa
ter Of the river, 10 render 1t by these
means supple and tender. Lastly, they
scraped off the hair and roasted or
broiled it upon the fire. And being
thus cooked they cut it into small NOR
sells and ate it, helping it down with
frequent gulps Of watel. which by
good fortune they had right at hand"

Fronch Official Red Tape.

Two men went TO Nice lately from
Italy to attend funeral and took
with them Il wreath OF flowers 70
which was fastened 4 silk ribbon bear
ing an inscription. They were In.
formed at their destination that they
would have TO pay duty equivalent
TO $25. The mourners protested, say
ing that the wreath was made OF nat
ural flowers OH which there was no
duty, but they were Informed that the
dutiable part was the silk and that,
according to the tariff laws, duty must
be collected on the gross weight OF
the memorial emblem. Then the men
agreed to throw the ribbon away, but
this could not be done on French soil,
and so they journeyed back to the
frontier, where they disposed of the
ribbon, boarded train for Nice With
the ribbonless wreath and arrived too
late for the funeral.

keen In the Sunshine.

There are only two kinds Of people In
the world--thc people who live in the
shadow and gloom and those who live
on the sunny side Of the street. These.
Swallowed ones are sometimes called
pessimists, sometimes people OF mclan,
choIy temperament; sometimes they
are called disagreeable people. But,
wherever they so, their characteristic
Is this-their shadows always travel on
before them. These people never bear
their own burden, but expose all then
wounds to others. They are all 50
busy looking down for pitfalls ana
sharp stones and thorns on which to
step that they do not even know that
there arc any stars III the sky. These
folks live on the wrong side Of the
street. And yet It is only twenty feet
across to the other sidewalk, where
sunshine always lies.-Ncwell Dwight

Conditions Reversed.

One of the finest examples OF paw
ky" humor is placed to the credit. OF
an old gardener who was i'll the serv-
ice of Admiral Of the Fleet Sir Alex
ander Milne. The admiral was 4
grand old man, full of goodness and
kindness, but strict disciplinarian.
The gardener having omitted TO 40
something which he had been told to
do, his master said 10 him:
when / was on board ship I would
have had you put in irons for disobe-
dicnce."
The old gardener was not much per-
turhed 1t the idea, but, leaning on his
spade, replied:
AYE, maybe, Sir Alexander, but
when yc were on board ship We had a
hunder men tao dae ne job, an moo We

How Far Can You See?

What IS the fartheSt limit to which
the human vision can reach? Power
in his book. The Eye and Sight" gives
the ability to see the star Alcor, situat-
cd ut the tail Of the Great Bear. as
the test. Indeed, the, Arabs call 1t
the test star. 1t is most exceptional
to be able to see Jupiter's satellites
with the naked eye, though one or two
cases are recorded, the third satellite
being the most distinct. Peruvians are
said TO be the longest sighted race on
earth. Humboldt records case where
these Indians perceived a human he-
IRE eighteen miles away, being able
to recognize that 1t was human and
clad in white. This is probably the
record for fur sight.

a Great CannibaI Feast.

Probably the biggest cannibal orgy
on record IS one Of which Miss Bea-
trice Grimshaw tells in "The New
Guinea" "ln 1858 shlpload Of China
men was being taken down to Austria
lin. The vessel was wrecked upon a
reef close 10 Rossel island, New Guln-
ea. The officers escaped in boats, but
were never afterward heard Of. AS
for the Cinnamon, numbering 32G, the
natives captured them and put them
Oh a small barren island. where they
had no food and no means OF getting
away. They kept their prisoners sup
piled with food from the mainland
and every now and then carried away
few OF them IN eat until all but one
old man had been devoured. This one
succeeded eventually in getting away
and told something Of the story, which
seems 10 have met with general disbe-
lief. True it IS. however, on the evil
dcnca Of the sons of those who did the
deed"

Imurisonment Far Debt.

About the middle Of the last cen
fury the power Of imprlsonlng debt
or for life was taken from the creditor,
and it fills one with Amusement to
think that system so ridiculous
should have continued rs long as 1t
did. The three principal debtors pris-
ons in England were the Kings Bench,
the Marshalsca anu the Borough
Compiler. In the year 1850 there were
90, 600 prisoners for debt in Great Brit
ain and ireland. The futility of the
system was quite as great rs It's bar
barty. More than half the prisoners
in some Of the prisons were kept there
solely because they could not pay the
attorneys costs. Many prisoners had
their wives and children with them.
There was no lnhrmary. no resident
surgeon and no bath. Imagine 4 q lace
in these days containing 1883 persons
and no bath and no infirmary. We
have indeed progressed" -Dundee Adj
