"No female children allowed to be thrown tu thie ditch,"

Of the "childishness of the Oriental the American woman had' a curious example ore night when her 'family"and every one in the

vicinity were aroused by the most fiendish and terrible sound imaginable: "There were great yelling and screeching and beating upon all sorts and, kinds of jostraments, while chaios were dragging over the pavement to increase the commotion. The Chinese were in a great state of excitement, and perfectly livid from fright, "Great dragon swallowing the moon 14 they cried...

§. Itwas an eclipse of the noon, and they sought to avert what in their minds was a most terriblo calamity by the worst medley of sounds they were capable of producing. When the moon finally appeared round and full from the shadow that had obstructed it they rejoiced greatly and felt that their hideous noises had been the salvation of the moon.

Five meals a day seems an excess of good. living to the average American and somewhat of a bore as well. Yet that is what the In Bugs of 250 th, net $8.00 per Beg American housewife in China must make up. her mind to. The first meal of the day is 'taken in bed. It consists of a light repast of coffee, fruit, mineral water and the like. This is served by the linuse boy, who also prepares

the bath, lays out clothes for the day and arranges thing about the apartment. He then retires, and when breakfast is served at 6 o'clock in the dining room greets his matter and mistress with the utmost ceremony.

Owing to the oppressive heat during the middle of the day nearly every one resta. Tea is served at 4 o'clock and consists of pressives, sandwiches, cakes and tea.
