Lpai.l a visit yesterday to the big gest Chines" newspaper in the empire to make inquiries as to the employ ment of a Chinese artist to do some native illustrations for me. and had a most interesting talk with the man ager. The paper is called the Shun 1'ao. and it is the best-paying' and most widely circulated of the three native newspaper dailies of Shanghai. It is an eifrht-pajre sheet of about the size and shape of Frank Ieslie's newspaper or Harper's Weekly, says a let.er by Frank li. Carpenter in the latter paper, printed on the thinnest of rice paper. It is so liirht that it does not weig-h more than a man's handkerchief, and so thin that the paper can be printed on one side only. The paper goes to pre:.s in bij- sheets, which are so folded that the blank side is turned inward w hen taken in hand by the subscriber, and so that there is neither cutting- nor pasting. Owing to the thinness of the paper, it has a greasy. yellow appear ance, and it is printed so closely with Chinese type that not an inch of space seems to lie washed. The headline or title of the paper consists of two Chinese characters, taking up a space not wider than one of the columns of our newspapers, and not more than an inch in length. It is a one cent sheet, its price being ten cents cash, but as China is on a silver basis, this should, in our money, now Ik divided by two. and its price would thv.-n be only half a cent. THE ARGENTINE GIRL. A Pretty Picture or Heaatjr in Early Life The Heautjr (lone Itefore She Is Thirty. A pen portrait from a foreign corre spondent of a typical Argentine girl presents a very charming picture. In the bloom of youth, and maturity as well, for she is fully developed at fif teen, she is lieautiful to look upon, with her erect and splendidly propor tioned figure, perfect oval face, hair as dark as night, and lustrous eyes shaded with long, curling lashes. A tinge of Kuropean blood gives her cheeks the dainty pink of a damask rose. And as her full, red lips part in a smile over teeth of that pearly perfection rarely seen, she is a fascinating object of sen suous Wauty. To complete the en chanting picture she must le clad in some soft, clinging material made in the latest Parisian styles, with here and there a gleam of diamonds, and a coquettish hat to frame her dainty face. A woman in the highest sense of her peculiar nature, and yet a child with all the vivacity of youth. She capti vates with her beauty, but in mind and soul there is something wanting which physical perfection does not satisfy, and the charm is soon gone, for at twen-ty-tive, when the American girl is just at her best, the Argentine girl ispassee, growing corpulent and coarse very rapidly as she approaches middle age. Her habits are indolent, and she is ad dicted to the use of rouge and powder to such an extent that her original complexion is entirely concealed. EVEN CHILDREN SMOKED. A Period In English IlUtory When School Hoys Carried Their Pipes. Everyone has read that Hawkins in troduced tobacco and that James in veighed against it. Elizabeth liked to sit on a low stool and watch Sir Walter Raleigh purling away. Once she let him that he could not tell the weight of the smoke in his pipe, but the phil osopher won. In Anne's reign almost everyone smoked. In Charles II.'s reign "children were sent to seluxd with their pipes in their satchels, and the schoolmasters called a halt in their studies while they smoked." In 1702, says the Westminster Review, Jorevin spent an evening with his brother at llarraway's coffee house, Leeds, and writes: T was surprised to see his sickly child of eight years old till its pipe of tobacco and smoke it as audfarandly as a man of three score; after that, a second and third pipe without the least concern, as it is said to have done above a year ago." There were about four hundred and seventy colfee houses in London, le sides five chocolate houses, in Anne's time. Smoking was general in them, and intoxicants could be also obtained as well as coffee. Bishop Trelawney was much hurt liecause l.ishop Itarnett had accused him of getting drunk in one of them on theOth of January a day of grief to tories and all good churchmen. BETTER THAN A PENSION. A lientleman Who liot Pretty Thoroughly IMslutsgrated In a Railroad Wreck. "A month or so ago," said the drum mer to a Iletroit Free Press man. "I stopped over night at a small tavern in Illinois and lefore retiring I sat for an hour in the room used for an office talking to two or three men, one of whom, a lame man. was to occupy the double room with me. I went up to bed some time before he did. ami when he came I was snugly tucked away, but Hot asleep. " 'Hy the way, he said, 'you were talking about pensions downstairs, weren't you?' " 'fs. I rather believe in pensions, economically administered. 'So do I.' he said, taking off his glasses, and with them a wax nose, which he laid on the table, somewhat to my discomfiture, "but I don't 1k lieve in being indiscriminate" here he lisheal out a glass eye ami put it in a tumbler of water and then took out his teeth and put them with the eye. I couldn't nay anything, and he went on: 'I know men who are to-day get ting from ten to fifty dollars a month' he removed his wig and hung it up carefully 'who do not deserve it any more than my grandmother does, and I hate to see' by this time he had off his coat and collar, ami. removing his left arm. he placed it on the bureau 'good deserving men getting a misera ble little pittance whose records are stories of bravery and daring' at this point he sat down, kicked off his trousers and one Jioe, took off a cork leg and laid it by the arm. and 1 was about ready to jump out of the window. " tio4xl Lord, man:' I almost yelled, as I bat up iu bed, "don't you get a pen fciou?" " 'Of course not.' he answered, with a look of surprise. 'I was in the army four years, but I got this in a railroad wreck, and the company had to put up fifty thousand dollars' damages. That beats a pension all to pieces. Then he put out the light, hopped over to his own bed, and I had nightmare and jimjams till daylight, dressed with my eyes shut, and got out an hour before my distinguished friend did." Jiot Safe to Jilt a tilrl In Belgium. Belgian judges have never admitted the principle of monetary compensa tion for breach of promise of marriage. but it has at last been established by a decision of the judges of the court of appeal, and there can be no doubt as to the meaning of their judgment. Hie test case was that oT a young woman who. through her father, brought action against a young Dutch man residing in Brussels. The father obtained a verdict for five thousand nine hundred francs damages, plu.s eight thousand francs for what was called "moral prejudice." In their judgment the judges said that either of the two parties to an engagement might back out of it, although not at the last mo ment. In the case cited the wedding lay had actually been ILxed. never wants te learn, but the reads that QU) Honesty CHEWING TOBACCO is the best that is made, and at ONCE tries it. and savea money and secures more satisfaction than ever before.

The value of a little Yankee push and enterprise is well illustrated in Mr. I ran i IS ThurWr's account of a trip from Madura toTrk-hinopoli.over an In dian railntad newly opened to travel. At one of the water stations the tank had riven out. and a hundred or more natives were set at work with earthen water jars to fetch water from a ca pacious well. Says Mr. ThurW-r: After waiting an hour or more in the cars I lteeante impatient at the de lay and went out in tue broiliajf sun to see what could Ik- the trouble. The native conductor was tryimr to induce the lav blanks to hasten tlnrir move ments, but without effect. "n consulting with the engineer I found that the engine was steauiinjr out water faster than it was ln-in' put into the tender, and that somethintr must If done or we should never fret to our destination. There were plenty of nu n. but they were dawdlinjr up and down the steps leading to the well, each til!inr his own jar and occupying aln.ut half an hour in carrying it froui the well to the engine. "My lirst step was to promise them, through the conductor, three rupee lit ksheesh if they would submit to niv orders: and then, ranging t hem in line. I sioii hail a continuous stream of jar. p:isMii:r rapidly from hand to baud U-tweenthe well and the engiue. As soon as they caught the idea they en tered into it with a will. "liaising a strange, wild song, or chorus. they gradually accelerated their motion, and no line of buckets at an American lire ever circulated faster h:n ditl those earthen water-jars in southern India." THE QUAKER CITY. Siu I'urloun Km-t About New mod Md rhiladrlphl. For at least two generations in the past, and for as many proWbly iu the future, l'hiladelphia must essentially Ih- regarded as two distinct aud sepa rate towns. Politically there is but one. but from all other standpoints the two towns t.f which I sjH-ak might as well le groujed alxoit the north and south oles. writes Charles It. Davis in Harper's '. Magazine. And yet the gulf whiah separates these two places is but a fairly wide throughfare Market street it is called. On one side lies the new town of l'hiladelphia. with its w ide avenues, niagiiiii.-eiit homes generous and iiuhI ern in its every outline. On the other itite jK-acefully rests the old town of Philadelphia, with narrow streets, old brick houses, and shrouded iu the con servatism which gave the city its indi viduality two hundred years ago. The new town has the money and progres sion of a modern western city, with the Ihmiiu still on. Its men are ambi tious, and sH-nd their money alike on trolleys anil cables and new club houses. l!ut old l'hiladelphia does not fancy rapid transit. It prefers walk ing, or an occasional ride on the horse car. If it has thrown aside the shad-Ik-IIv coat and the wide-brimmed hat of its ljuaker ancestors. It i-annot alU gcther free itself from the blinnl which ran through the splendid meu who once wore these quaint clothes. A DETECTIVE'S HINT. It May He of Service to Owner of Valu able .Jewel. One of the big sleuths in the city had liecn seen by a citizen who had lost a diamond scarfpiu, says the Chicago ll.-rald. "Where did j-ou keep it when yon were not wearing it'.'" he asked of the loser. 'I'nder the lapel of my waistcoat. Always pinned it there hen 1 didn't wear it in my scarf." "Kver have your waistcoat scoured at the cleaner a;.d dyer's?" "Yes. once a year." Then he named the place. The sleuth went to the place and found the missing spark. This in itself is of no consequence. Hut what the sleuth added may save some worry. "In a city like this." he said, where so many are accustomed to sending wearing apparel to the scourer and dyer valuables are likely to lie left in a jXK-kct. I have traced a uunilier of such articles to those places. I do not say that all valuables that go in that direction are recovered, but I sug gest to jH-ople who leave their apparel at the scourer's to examine the pockets first. It may save a whole lot of trouble." GIRLS WHO SELL THEIR HAIR. They Sometimea H It to Acquire a Utile I'ln MotB-y. "lo we hare many girls come to sell their hair? Well. 1 should so. but we don't make a business of buying on ac count of the risk we would have to run." said a Pittsburgh hair dealer to a Iis patch representative, recently. "I have had girls conic to me aud otrer to sell their hair as it was on their heads. No. they don't get good prices tine dollar and fifty to two dollars and fifty cents lcin:r as miu h as 1 erer gave. I know of one case, however, where a well known society woman took a fancr to the hair of a young lady she met acci dentally and she paid the highest price I have ever known for a head of hair. The young lady in question had a lux uriant growth of gohleu-brown hair and one day she was approached bv this lady, who was comttcHcd to use false hair, who said to her: Miss . if at any time you desire to part with your hair, you can find a customer in inc. The young lady was in need of piu money at the time and said: 'Well. I am not particular aln.ut keeping it now. as it is a little too light for mv taste.' So she agreed to have her hair cut and in payment received eight dol lars and a half. If girls could always get such a sum for their flowing locks there would lie a great many more short-haired young ladies aUiut the city." " A JAPANESE ODDITY. V!r Little ll-l! That Are Much Sought by C'oil-ctr. Within a few years great numbers of Japanese temple bells have come to this country and have liecn eagerly loiight by collectors. They are not the bronze and copper liells of the shops, chased w ith gold and silver and hung on silken cords, but are rather rough objects that resemble old pots. It is not usual to hang them. Thev rest on a circular cushion that keep.-, them from rocking, and are struck with a stick made for the purpose aud covered at the end with leather. The tone is grave, but rich and mellow, and the thin shells of tuetal vibrate for several minutes after being struck; while, without sounding very loud, the carrying power of their tone is remark able. There is one bell in Japau that can te heard at a distance of over twenty miles, it is said. Some collect ors get two or three 1h11s of different notes that form a chord, and when Henry Irving was last in Xew York he bought what might I h-called a chime of them, representing every note in the scale. 1 he metal is a dull bronze that is sometimes made from the coin, gold silver and copper, received as dona lions in the temples. The little knobs. struck in repousse all over the surface. have a curious significance; it is saiJ that the original of these bells repre sented the head of 1'uddah, covered with the snails that obligingly crawled over his scalp and cooled it w hen he had a headache. The little protru sions are conventionalized indications of the ftnailn, JOB : : PRINTING. Til E fit KKMA X Printing Office la the place to set jur JOB PRINTING llnaiptl ul datlsfactoi iy fii-ruml.
