Forms Of Oath.


A Chinaman has been thus sworn
in: On entering the box the witness
Immediately knelt down, and china
saucer having been placed in his hand
he broke 1t. Tho officer Of the court
through an interpreter then addressed
him thus: "You shall tell the truth
and the whole truth, and II you do not
toll the truth your soul will be
cracked like the saucer" A Moham-
medan witness first placed his right
hand on the Koran, put the other hand
to his forehead and brought the top
of his forehead down to the book and
touched It with his head. He then
looked for some time upon 1t, and be-
ing asked what effect that ceremony
was to produce answered that he was
bound by It to speak the truth. The
deposition Of a Gentoo has been re.
ceived who touched with his hand the
foot Of Brahmin. Buddhists have
been sworn by "the three holy exist-
ences-Buddha, Dhamma and Pro
Sangha--and the devotees Of the 22
firmaments," and Parsee on tho

SMALLEST OF PosroFFIcEs
How the Patrons Of tho Eive-Foot Fed
eral Building at Virginia, CAL,
Are Accommodated.

Virginia, Cal, boasts Of having the
smallest postof1ce building in the
world. 1t is situated in lonely spot
City, and Is maintained for the con-
venience OF rich ranch owners in the
vicinity. Not more than six or eight
people get mail there, but their let
terg are of sufficient financial impor-
tance for postoffice to be provided
for their use.- The postmaster's sal
ary does not keep him in cigarettes,
but he only has to be on duty on the
days when the stage coach is due to
pass. The stage driver drops the mail,
the few letters from Virginia are
handed UP and the postmaster pro-
ceeds to distribute the letters, post
cards and newspapers in lock boxes
hung on the outside Of the postoffice.
After the scanty mail is distributed
the postmaster locks up the little Of
flee and goes away.
When citizen of Virginia mails a
letter he does not buy a stamp, but
deposits letter and money through the
letter drop in the door. If the letter
is heavy one and likely to require
more than one stamp he drops a
quarter or half dollar in with 1t and
finds his change in his letter box next
mail day. AS the postmaster knows
the handwriting of ever man, woman
and child in the postal district he
never puts the change in the wrong
box. About once a year, generally
near the holidays, registered letter
or package arrives, and then the ac-
commodating postmaster delivers It..
In Virginia registered mail is put in
the letter drop, with the fee, and the
receipt placed in the proper lock box
the same as the change for stamps.
The little postoffice building is con-
structed of rough slabs of pine, un-
painted and windowless, and is only
five feet square, and about the height
Of an ordinary man, who can only
stand erect inside by taking off his
hat.

OF course, as an artist I am at

fashion Of wearing corsets. which. to

How can she move gracefully in
