A Chinese funeral is always at-4
tended by very ceremonious worship of
the gods, and by many devices intended
to deceive the devil. It is well known
that the devil is waiting in the street
before the houfee to carry off the dead
man's soul which is believed to attend
the funeral, so when tRe procession
marches .out, great quantities of evil
smelling fireworks and crackers are let
Dff, and while the devil is coughing and
sneezing and trying to get thesmoke
out of his eyes, the bearers of the bier
start up the street on a lively trot, turn
a corner and stop until more fireworks
are burned. The devil can notr easily
turn a corner, so goes on ahead to get
rid of the fireworks. The procession
then makes another start and by fre
quently turning and stopping, and con
fusing the devil with the fireworks,
generally succeeds in deceiving him as
to the direction taken and reaches the
graveyard without him.
UNEXPLORED REGIONS.
Fields That Are Klcli With "Relics of An
i dent Cities.
In central and eastern Asia theVe lies
an unexplored region full of interest,
and to the areheologist in especial. A
ereat traveler and clever writer, the
, Russian Gen. Prjevalsky, speakin? of
the oasis of Tchertechen, situated in the 1
great table lands, hemmed by the there
unbroken wall of the Himalayas, says
that' close to it are the: ruins of two
great cities, the oldest of which, accord
ing to local tradition, was destroyed
three thousand years ago, and the other
by the Mongolians in the tenth century t
or our era.
. -The emplacement of the two cities
is now covered, owing to the shifting
sands and the desert winds, with
strange and" heterogenous relics, with
broken china and kitchen -utensils and
human bones. The natives often find
copper and gold coins, ingots, dia
monds and turquoises, and, what is
more remarkable, broken glass. Cof
fins of undeeaying wood or material
are there also, within which beauti-
f ully preserved embalmed bodies are
found. The male mummies are all
enormously tall, powerfully-built men
with long, wavy hair. A vault was
found with : twelve men sitting in it.
Another time in a separate coffin i a
young girl was found by us. Her eyes
were closed with golden di&ks, and the
jaws held firm by a golden circle run
ning from under the chin across
the top of the head. Clad in a narrow
woolen garment, her bosom was cov
ered with golden stars, her feet being
left naked.
To this the speaker adds that all along
the way of the river Tchertchen they
heard legends about twenty-three towns
buried ages ago by sands of the desert.
The same tradition exists on the Lob
aor and in the oasis of Kerya.
Mme. Blatavsky, who was in the ear
lier part of her life a great and indefat
igable traveler, covering more ground
in a given time than is ifsually accom
plished by even those of the sterner and
a.ore enduring sex, bears witness also
to those ancient ruins, which she openly
avers are prehistoric; the pages of her
vorks also make frequent reference to
other ruins of ancient character scat
tered throughout the deeert regions of
central Asia. She hints, too, at buried
crypts and underground vaults in the
desert of Gobi, in particular, in which
are stored many of the preserved rec
ords of the ages.
Woman's Influence.
Just as woman in literature, "both aa
authoress and as audience, has affected a
radical reform, an elimination of the ob
scenity and harshness from, literature
and art, so woman in the state will avail
to eliminate the ricors of law and tnnr-h
of the corruption in politics -that now '
prevails. iTcfassor William T. Harris.

Betting: the Net for Shad In New York
" . Harbor.
JIhe shad begin to go up the Hudson
early in ApriL Then fykes and fish
pounds fill the ' shoals, and drift-nets
and gilt-nets the deeper waters. For
over a month everything in the shape,
of a net is at work " night ; and day to
prevent the fish from reaching the
spawning grounds. ; ; -
-Driving a pole, from sixty-five to
eighty-five feet long, ten ' feet into the
harbor bottom, is no easy task', es
pecially as the top of the pole must
bend enough to enable a tow to pass
over it without doing damage. The
poles are of hickory, and usually are in
two pieces - spliced together, as a tree
of the required length is generally toe
heavy at the butt. The finished pole
is from ten to twelve inches In diame
ter, sharply pointed to go into the mud.
A favorable day is taken 7ad vantage
of; the poles are loaded on
the machine-boats '; (two ' heavy
boats" made for the -purpose, lashed
together. with strong timbers) and taken
to the desired position in the stream.
When by soundings i the exact spot is
found, the double Boat is anchored,
bow and stern,"; and on either side,
Then a shad-pole is run out and low
ered; when the pointed end rests on the
bottom the sitting-machine is screwed
on firmly, t This is a bar of wood about
twelve feet long, to the middle of which
is fastened a hinged collar which can
be closed and screwed fast to the pole.
Ten. or twelve men take hold of this
cross-piece, and at first raise and lower
it gently until a hole is started hi the
mud; then they raise , it higher and
higher, bringing it down with increased
force each time, until at last it is bedded
so deeply in the mud that the "devil''
alone can pull it out. : But the "devil"
referred to is a tool used for this very
purpose," and very; hard :work it is to
manage it. ; . - . -
The men must ; work well together,
and the captain's cry of 'Uh-uh-up!
Down?' serves to .keep them together.
The poles are twenty-four feet apart,
the width of a net, As one pole is put
down the side anchor is carried along
another twenty-four feet by the aid of
a tender, then the large boat moves up
to its Tiew ajtttlitjrage. - In this way
they move amg,plihiting their poles
at regnlar intervals, irxhickory hoop
with a weight attached" to one side and
a gillnet to the other is slipped over the
poles, thus keeping the nets in place,
and enabling them to be raised and
lowered. - Every tide, in storm or fog,
they are carefully looked after. -
In the shoal water along the Jersey
coast may be seen what appear to be
hedges of brush sticking out of the wa
ter. These are part of the fence erect
ed for catchin g shad in "fykes. " 'A s
the shad travel along these fences hunt
ing for an opening they find the en
trance to the "fykes,' which are reallv
nothing more than traps placed at in
tervals along the fence. The "fyke"
is visited every tide, lifted into the
boat, and the fish taken out. Uartjer's

' THE WAY WE WALK.
How Our Footsteps Betray Our Mental At
titude.
A man's foot is larger than a woman's;
it is stronger in the ankhand more
powerful in the formation of the toes,
especially of the ball of the great toe.
.When a woman owns a strong, firm,
wide foot, many of us experience, per-
naps, nO sensation of surprise at find
ing her "strong-minded;" when a man
trips along on' a dedicate little foot,
people instinctively Ijelieve him to be
lacking in power, and often put him
down as effeminate. The right foot is
ordinarily stronger ; and more mobile
than the left. Most people tread more
firmly with the right than with
tne lelt - loot. I here . seems to be
a greater capacity for . propelling the
body with it.- To the attentive eye,
none of the ordinary gesture or move
ments betray peculiarities of individual
character more plainly than the gait
the sailor's rolling, the soldier's stiff, -the
countryman's jolting gait are im
mediately recognized. Slow steps,
whether long or short, suggest a gentle
or reflective state of mind, as the case
may be;, while on the contrary, quick
steps, seem to speak of agitation and
energy. The proud step is slow and
measured; the toes are conspicuously
turned out, the 'eg is straightened. In
vanity the toes i are --rather more
gracefully turned, the strides a little
shorter, and there is very often an
affectation of modesty. .Tiptoe . walk
ing symbolizes surprise, curiosity, dis
cretion, or mystery. Obstinate"people,
who, in an argument, rely more on
muscularity .than on intellectual power,
rest the feet flat and firm on the
ground, walk heavily and slowly, and
stand with the legs firmly planted and
far apart. Turned-in toes are often
found with pre-occupied, absent-minded
persons. The toes pointed and dragged
on the' ground with slow, measured
step, give a pompous appearance. Per
plexity occasions irregular steps and
abrupt movements. The prudent
walk is measured and regu
lar, entirely free from hur
ry, agitation, or precipitation. The
misers walk is stopping, noiseless, with
short, nervous, anxious steps. In joy
the walk is lively, for lightness, grace,
suppleness, characterize a happy mind,
although the walk here is often . modi
fied in harmonywith the cause of the
joy; the joy of gratified ambition, for
example, betraying itself by . a different
outward semblance from the joy of hap
py love. Disappointment walks heavi
ly and with irregular step. Where a
revengeful purpose is hidden under a
feigned smile, the step will be slinking
and noiseless. English Paper.

v- ONLY AN ARTIST'S MODEL"
How Good Hearted Girl Saved a Painter
When He Was Starring. -
Before a man's work is established in
value among the picture buyers he has
.very often great hardships. .There are
tragedies in the studios that seldom get
into the newspapers. - One of our . best
known and most prosperous ' portrait
painters lived for months on the me&
gerest fare when he . came home from
Paris, too proud to let his friends know
his straitened circumstances and too lit
tle of a business man to dispose of his
sketches." "v.' '-. : :-; "'' - ,
"What little money "he had ' was spent
in hiring a model. Had it not been for
the quick wit and kind heartedness of
that young woman her employer would
probably have starved. One morning
she came hurriedly into the squalid
studio, crying: f ' ' .- --- - T ' ; -;
"I have sold it! "Thave sold itr - -
"Sold what?" asked the young painter.
looking wearily up from his canvas.
"That sketch you made of me last
week," continued the model breathless-
ly. "An old friend of mine met me in
the street just how. and said ho would
give $50 for a picture of me, and I closed
the bargain with him at . once. , Here is
the money. - Now I will bundle up the
sketch and take it to him at once." f '
r Before the astonished artist could ut
ter a protest "she had disappeared with
the canvas. ; A few minutes later the
model returned, and declaring that as
she got the money she should have the
partial spending of it seized a $5 bill
and rushed to the nearest restaurant,
where she bought a luxurious breakfast
and had it sent to the studio. i
. The painter and his friend had a merry
meal together. It was his first stroke of
good luck since he came back from
Paris, and it put such fresh ambition in
to his brushes that he presently ob
tained several commissions for pictures
and became comparatively prosperous.
-"In 'the exultation of his success he
quite forgot the poor girl who sold his
first picture. One night as he was going
to a fashionable reception a grimy news-"
boy came to his studio and whispered
hoarsely: - ' -
. "Say. mister, she's a-dyin." i . -.";
"Who's dying?" asked the painter.
, "Why," continued the youngster, "her
as used to stand fur her picter. 4 She's
a-dyin, I tells yer, an she keeps a-ravin
Lan a-ravin about yer name thet I thought
as how 1 d come an tell ye. , An 1 foun
out where ye lived, an I com'. If ye
doaco w'ero Cherry street is. HI show
ye, if ye wants to'see her afore, she
croaks." '. i -': .' - . . . .
Piloted by the newsboy, the artist made
his way to the attic" of a tenement in one
of the poorest quarters of the city. On
a mattress stretched on the floor the
model lay, delirious, in the final stage of
consumption. ; - 'i ' 1 V
Sending the newsboy hurriedly for a
physician, tho artist knelt by the girl's
side and tried to recall her wandering
senses. But the dying .woman looked at
him blankly and turned away, moaning
some confused thought about saving
somebody's life.
. "He was so good and kind. and Iloved
him so until the grand ladies took " him
away from me," she whispered. "Maybe
he has forgotten me, maybe he has for
gotten. But I have got it still, and when
I get well and can make some money I
mean to get it framed." ..
... A few minutes later the poor creature
threw back her head and was still. - As
the painter drew an end of the ragged
coverlet over her face he gavd a cry of
agony. The glazed eyes of the dead wo
man were staring at a canvas hung on
the wall. It was the sketch she hadH
bought from him out of her meager
earnings when he was on the verge of
starvation. New York Cor. Boston

Singing Ilelps a Consumptive.
The time will soon come when singing
will be regarded as one of the great helps
to physicians ia lung diseases, more es
pecially in their incipient state. Almost
every branch of gymnastics is employed
in one way or another by the doctors,
but the simplo and natural function of
singing has not yet received its full meed
of attention In Italy some years ago
statistics were taken which proved that
the vocal artists were especially long
lived and healthy under normal circum
stances, while of the brass instrumen
talists it was discovered that consump
tion never claimed a victim cmong them.
Those who have a tendency toward
consumption should- take easy vocal ex
ercises, no matter how thin and weak
their voices may seem to be. They -will
find a result at times far surpassing any
relief afforded by medicine. Vocal prac
tice in moderation is the beet system of
general gymnastics jthat can be imag
ined, many muscles being brought into
play that would scarcely be suspected of
action in connection with so simple a
matter as tone production. Therefore,
apart from all art considerations, merely
as a matter of health, one can earnestly
say to the healthy. "Sing, that you may
remain so," and to the weakly, "Sing,
that you may become : stronDr." New

the militia had an arrangement : to call
on the president at a certain hour. There
were a goodly number of ladies and gen
tlemen. When the party was announced,
Mr.develand got up from his chair at
his desk, .and swinging around, sat upon
its corner with a cigar ; between his fin
gers, which he had been smoking, and
-from which the smoke star curled up.
He put out his hands as the first -of- the
party reached him without, remark, and
still half silting upon the corner of his
desk he reached ou his hand and ' gave
him a pump handle shake. This was re
peated as fast as the company could pass
by a single up and down stroked-r-
Ile said nothing until a member of
Governor Gray's, staff, who presented
himself in all that gorgeous array of reg
imentals which only a staff officer who
never saw much service can put on, and
which is probably the most grotesaue
free show the country beholds, appeared
in f ront of Mr. Cleveland. ; The prert
dent ran hia eye up and down the man,
and a pleased expression came into his
face, which had - been blank until that
moment, and he remarked as he, took bis

'.General Kotler's Idea of Bullion.
"General Butler believed in gold and
silver only as a" commodity and could
not see the necessity; for government
vaults filled with coins or bullion. "The
Chinese," he once said to the writer eight
years ago.;"knmv better than we how to
take care of "their metal wealth. They
pave their cellars with it in great flags
or squares. Then if a man is seen carry
ing off one of these squares he is asked
where he got it. It would be the same
with gold and silver in bars but for the
government stamp on it - When I took
possession of New Orleans," there was
$800,000 in Mexican silver dollars among
the seizures. ' .'--- v--;'' " '-"w.--5'
"I had it done up in great packages
that weighed more than one man could
carry. It was stacked up in' the custom
house, where people passed, by it at all
hours. There was no guard over it, but
it was guarded by the eyes of the multi
tude. None of it was ever lost." " The
general believed that with greenbacks
as a circulating medium gold and silver
might be smelted in ingot3 of 250 pounds
and piled up in. the streets without dan

'.. . A. Funny Story.
One day in Tennessee a man killed an
other man. The murderer was arrested
and would have - been hanged in the
course of time, but the brothers of the
murdered man couldn't wait." They got
up a big mob of several hundred people
and attacked the jail with the intention
sof taking ,, the murderer out and killing
him. . The men, however, whom these
ame people had elected and sworn in
for the purpose got together and defend
ed the jail, and incidentally the prisoner.
The result was that some 25 men were
6lain, among whom were, Very: appro
priately, the two brothers who got up the
not unique social entertainment. . t
T Now, if that isn't' a funny story, then
I never heard one; 1 It is enough to loll
