An Honest Election.

Much of the grim humor one hears
among practical politicians has 10 do
with these incorruptibles who owe
their positions to corruption A case
in point is that of a member of the
supreme court Of a Western state, who
began his career by running for Con-
press. The story was told to me by
one OF the workers who secured his
election.
cone day the candidate met me-,

cHiNA's "RAT" YEAR.
Ceiestials to Enjoy Rodent Reian
During 1912.

The Chinese methods OF reckoning
age is curious. Chinese child at
birth Is said to be one wear old and
after ii has passed one new year il is
SAID TO be two years old. The. Chinese
divide the years into cycles Of twelve,
each one of the twelve Years being rep
resented by the. names of one of twelve
different animals. Thus the Chinese
year corresponding to 1876 was a year
OF the rat and all born in that year
belong to the class rat; SO also do all
people born In the year removed from
1876 by any multiple of twelve.
The twelve different animals are rat,
OK, tiger, hare, dragon, snake. horse,
sheep. monkey. fowl dog, pig. Every
one knows his corresponding animal
class for the information is necessary
for arranging betrothals, fortunetelling
or choosing lucky days.
A Source of error in age, with the
exception of that in entering Young
ehildren) is illustrated by the case of
an old woman of the village of Ching
Tzu, known to be over a hundred, who
insisted on the census enumerator en-
tering her as 80, This was because it
is a customary term of abuse to call a
pNAopii Oh Huilut gu y edr-Olu DONKEY
OF tentoothed donkey" which has the
same significance.
The only source of error in the divi-
sion of sex is in regard 10 very young
children. 1t is common for a Chinese
mother to give son the name of
girl, presumably to deceive the Fates.
for It is common saying that girl
is easier to rear.
As to the size of Chinese families,
the Chinese give much credit to a large
family which is able to live together
without dividing up the family proper
ty. There are many large undivided
families in Wei-haf-wei. The largest
is that of Meng Yu Shih, widow Of
the village of Mang Tao. Her family
consists in all of sixty-six persons
