Counterfeits, Imitations and *“Just-as-good”’ are but Ex- periments, and endanger the health of Children— Experience against Experiment At dawn of October 6¢h trumpeters sounded the call to get ready. Immedi- ately the gates of Hsian were opened and carts, carriers, and couriers began to move. By 7:30 the streets were crowded with spectators. Good order was maintained, and a clear roadway left and kept open by the cavalry that lined the streets on either side. The different uniforms—yellow, red, blue—the variegated banners that fluttered in the breeze, the glittering swords and tridents, had a fine scenic effect as the bright sun began to shine on the throng. By 7:45 the advance cavalry passed.

You see, she wants to know it reached him and doesn’t want to register a letter, for he must not know who sends it. So run up with it and get a receipt for it that we may send her.” I was soon on Tenth street. The number sought was a tumble down old rookery, and the children snowballing’ each other in the street stopped long enough to tell me that old Mr. Jones lived on the top floor. “Come in!” piped a cheery, shrill voice as I knocked on his door. I did. |THE CENTAUR COMPANY, NEW YORK CITY. | == Seated by the window, nightcap on | 46-4 head and spectacles on nose, sat a|™ Se destroys Worms and allays Feverishness.

Next came the royal mounted body- guard, ordering the crowds to kneel, and instantly they flopped onto, their knees. Soon the outriders, pullers, bearers of the first yellow dragoned chair were in view. The Emperor was pulled: by twenty and borne by sixteen men, dressed in decorated silk gowns. His chair was richly draped with embroidered satin and decorated with jade jewels. His Majesty sat bolt upright, with features that were as fixed as a statue. He looked only straight ahead, as if una- ware of the lines of his kneeling subjects, or more likely afraid he might not mani- fest the self-possession that is the essential mark of dignity and rank. He was look- ing well, and all assert much better than on his arrival last year.

His chair was followed by that of the “Old Baddha’’—as the Dowager is famil- iarly called. She was dressed (or rather “‘drowned”) in dragoned yellow satin, Her face is long and wan, with high cheek- boues, big mouth and thick lips. Her eyes gleamed like fire. She was as awake and alert as the Emperor seejued inert and in- different. Nothing escaped the sharpness of her vision. The beggars received tab- lets of silver and the curious glances of scorn. Every one remarked how careworn she looked, and that she was quite ten years older since last year. Her personal |. baggage occupied the next few litters and relays of hearers. Iu striking contrast with the weird coun- tenance of the Dowager was the young face of the Empress. Her chair halted for a little, and as it was open there was time for a good view. She seemed rather em- barrassed by the crowds and stole nervous, furtive glances on either side. She looks an innocent, ordinary official’s daughter, but the paint, powder, and gew-gaw spoil a pretty face. She was followed by the chief concubines—women of muscle and evident will, but destitute of brains and Of voices ever dear, Of voices hushed to all but her As through a mist of tears She sees child faces as they were In long departed years. bright eyed, gray haired, much wrin- kled old fellow, clean shaven and very tall and stooped. “Merry Christmas!” he piped as soon as he saw me and grinned affably, displaying a few large teeth that were still white. I stammered forth the conventional answer. I could do no more than stammer it, for such a salutation in such a place quite staggered me. The rickety bed, the unlighted stove, the broken loaf of bread on the bare little table, the absence of carpet, the two chairs, told the story of deepest pov- erty at a glance. I hastily gave him the money and: took his receipt. “Sit down on that other chair and gladden my Christmas,” said he. “This gift of money is nothing to your com- pany. I deserve it,” he added a little pettishly. “I have gladdened others’ Christmas today.” “You have?” I was impolite enough to say in my bewilderment. “The birds,” said he, pointing out Silverware.
