All connection with oUr Cheh Ktang ancestors has long since been out oil and forgotten. I have als one unolo living, the younftcr brother nf mv o li at ltf 1 1 . i . - j "ij uiuuicr s a email' footed Cheh Kiting woman, and came from her native province with my father. She could urieak ihn dialect aa well as her native todgne: rr -A- lUBt A m maebtoa tot the Kwan-hwa which T nn n m mother bore my father two sons beside myseii ; one, younger than myself, died t the age of three or four years. I am married to a small-footed native of who is now forty-eight years of age. By h I have had nine children, lour Doys and five girls. Of these there ure five now lWing. My eldest son. died at the age of twenty-live. The eiaest ctaia living is a daughter, aged twenty-seven, who is married to a lnnal trader, and belongs, of course, to mv family no longer. My eldest living w"i ogeo. iwenty-nve, is employed as a tutor to boys in the neighborhood of our dwelling, and his total earnings from this Bonrce would amount to about eight dollars a mouth. He is married to the daughter of a clerk in the provin cial treasurer's ofilco. My second daughter was married this year to the teacher of a boys' school These marriages are the great expense to ns respectable families. It cost me 6300, nearly one year's salary, to dofray the oost of our last little aUair. Of this I had saved 8 120. In the delicate guiBe of oake money, many of tho neighbors con tributed from $1 to tl. one apiece, and the rest I had to borrow, aud am still paying off. The chief expense is for the threa days' open house kept during the festivities. Pork, cakes, wines, eta, have to be liberally distributed around, and it would never do for a gentleman of my position to be shabby. Then the wife's outfit must always be supplied by her own family. Tables, chairs, clothes trunks, pots and pans, and goodness knows what not. Ah ( you have little idea how we Chinese fathers must scrape nd starve to do our duty respectably. Well, my second son is still at school; he is twenty-one years of age, but as yet not betrothed. My youngest daugh ter is thirteen, and' she learns her household duties at home. Of course, nil the females of our family are small footed. My uncle's son, aged forty five, is still alive and has four daugh ters. My wife and children, and my cousin and his four daughters, thus form the whole of our family. My house consists of six apartments, and stands me $5 a month for rent ; two of the apartments are reception rooms. Before t was employed by my foreign friend I served as a clerk in the custom house ; but never having any inclination to squeese I did not get on well. I know I am stupid, but I really cannot squeene, ilthongh my friends make 6port of me for it. I like to be quiet and independ ent, and as lonar aa I cet mv salarv room. lariy paid I hope to remain of the same mma. were I to die my wife would take one share of what little property I have ; one share would bo reserved for the expense of my youngest daughter's wedding, and a share apiece would go to each of my two sons. Besides the members of our family we keep one coolie and one old woman to do the rough work of the household. Every day I walk four English miles to my duties, and four miles back again in the afternoon. This I have done for nearly twenty years. Certainly, I might move to a nearer place, but I enjoy a very high position in my neighborhood, be ing one of the spokesmen of the ward. ine wards are of different sizes. Ours is a small one, consisting of not more than two hundred houses. All small matters are referred to the four spokes- men, wno either settle the matter indi vidually or meet in the temple to dis- ouhbu. wave matters go before the district magistrate in the usual way. A Fatherly Man. Griswold street, from Fort to Con gress, offers such superior facilities for falling down in the winter, that all the newsboys and bootblacks who look upon the bright and cheerful side of life loaf around that section a great deal in order to be on hand when the climax ocenrs. Seven of them stood in a row yesterday morning as a fatherly, unwieldy citizen turned the corner of the Moffatt block. " Select your spot 1 " they yelled as he reached the descent, and in about a minnte he reached the conclusion that they had gathered there to see him fall. Borne men would have jumped aside into the street, but this fatherly man contin ued on. He resolved to himself : Now these boys are poor, forlorn boys. They seldom have any fun. They are hungry, ragged, and do not look forward to Christmas. They wish me to fall. If, by falling, I can add to their happiness, it is my duty to do so." Those boys may never kuow that the good man fell on pnrpose to please them. He suddenly made a slip to the left, stretching ont his leg until it look ed to be ten feet long then a slip to the right, and as he reoovered he stuck his heels toward the south pole, clawed out like a million angle worms fastened to gether, and the snow where he struck flew sixteen feet. He didn't get up and tell the boys that it was a put-up job to lighten their burdens of care and sorrow for a moment, but he knows, and the reader knows, that it was. Free Press.

Then have a frying pan ready with a lamp of butter, and remove the chicken to it, and have some boiled rice ready, cooked in another saucepan about one cupful of boiled rice as boiling the rice with the chick en improves the flavor of the soup.

Serve the gravy sepa rately. MtMtvrberrlea nod Grapevines. O. M. F. writes to a New York paper: " What kind of soil is best adapted for strawberries ? Is not clay, well worked np with loam or muok and manure, good? When should the runners be clipped off ? Should the vines be cov ered in the winter with straw or horse manure, or not at all ? Also, nntil how old should grapevines be kept trimmed down? Reply. Some strawberries succeed better upon clay soils than upon light ones, and others do very ill Upon clay. A moderately clayey loam is the best for this fruit. For clay soils triompbe de gand, jucunda, black defiance, Boy den's, and Colonel Cheney may be chosen; for light soils, Wilson, cham pion, Kentucky seedling, monarch of the west, and Downer's prolifio will be better. The runners should be clipped when the blossoms and fruit are form ing, so as to turn all the vigor of the plant to the fruit. Horse manure is not good for a covering, nor even for ma nure for strawberries. Cow droppings well rotted, with a little guano, in the spring, make the best fertiliser. Coarse hay, cornstalkB, and cedar or pine brush are tho best for covering. Litter from the cow stable is very good. Grape vines should be kept trimmed alwaj s. If they are a hundred years old, they will need trimming as well as when bnt one year old. Knrylnc Hoots. When turnips, beets and other roots are buried out-doors, the common mode for protecting them from the frost is to put on a moderate layer of straw and then a thick ooat of earth. But if more straw and less earth are employed it will be better for the roots, as they will be dryer, the straw absorbing the mois ture. A neighbor has been in the prac tice of placing sixty or seventy bushels of potatoes in each heap, covering them with a foot of compact straw and three inches of earth. He has not lost one bushel in a hundred. If straw cannot be had in sufficient quantity, it is a good way after covering with a few inches of earth, to apply to the whole exterior of the heap a layer of leaves. These act as a non conductor, and as shingles, keeping the rain from entering the inner coat. Another moderate layer of earth completes the covering. Ven tilation is never to be omitted. Ex change. To Rerlve Froaled Plant. Plants are eften frosted through neg lect and allowed to die throngh ignor ance. Those that have been quite se verely nipped may be saved if treated rightly. The proper way is, when the frost has been partially drawn out of them, naturally, to drench them with cold water from a fine-nosed watering pot, and immediately cover again and let them so remain until they regain their natural color. When they are re moved, clip off all such parts as are blackened. As soon as it is discovered that a plant has been touched by frost, remove it to a eool, dark room, and on no account suffer the sun to shine on it. If they oaa be covered so as to exclude air as well as light, it is better still. Dahlias, cannas and the like need not be removed until the frosts are severe enough to blacken the leaves. Herald. Wbj Kill ! OneTseTfF Notwithstanding the general impres sion that the worst use that can be made of a man is to kill him, there have been a great many suicides within the past few days. 'Whether these victims of themselves have found another world, and one enough pleasanter to justify their haste in going to it, is a question for theologians to decide; but to the ordinary mind snicide seems to be a great blunder. As a general rule even the saintliest people object to leaving this rather uncertain earth of ours, so it stands to reason that there is a good deal worth living for; and though it may not be at hand at the immediate mo ment it is desired, the whirligig of time has a way of bringing a fair amount of cheer and comfort to every man. - Many of the prosperous, contented men and women of to-day can lookback at s time when their troubles were as great as any which suicides have refused to endure: Kin l nut nf these vfirv troubles Rnranir ) the ability to enjoy to the uttermost BUOU piUUBAUv uuaijgeD bo uuic UU1J brought.

"Tho Five Silver Donkejs." A very wealthy man finding himself near his end, called his five sons to his bedBide and presented each with a silver donkey, equipped with panniers, and said : " There was a merchant travel ing from Basira to Bagdad with a cargo of silk, but as this, however, was not sufficient to fill more than one of tho 4 panniers, he balanced the burden by filling the other with stones. As he was journeying he was overtaken by a wayfarer who fell into conversation with him, and in course of it remarked, What a fool yott must be.' Very pro bably,' was the reply, but in what par ticular?' 'Why,' said the other, don't you see that, if you were to dis tribute your silk equally between the two panniers and throw away your stones you would diminish yonr ass' burden by one-half?' 'Very true,' rejoined the other. I thank you for your wise counsel ; ' and forthwith the silk merchant threw his stones ont on the road, and distributed the cargo in equal proportions between the two panniers. As, however, they continued their lournev. the meronaut remarked. You are a very clever and discerning person, but bow is it that you are in snch evil case ? Your clothes are soiled and threadbare, and you have scarcely a shoe to your foot. The truth is,' was the reply, ' I am an unfortunate man.' ' Are yon an unfortunate man? 1'hen I will go back and pick up my stones,' which he accordingly did, and replaced the silk in statu quo. It hap pened that when he arrived at Bagdad, he fonnd that the caliph was building a new palace, bnt was brought to a stand stiii tor vent of stones. Ho the mer chant sold his stones for more than he got for his silk, and returned rejoicing, Now. mv sons, in presenting you each with the silver donkey, I wish to impress upon yon this maxim, Never take the advice of an unfortunate man.'"

An American gentleman paid a round Snm for a dinner . he gate to six friends at fashionable Pans restaurant a few weeks ago. aooording to the corre spondent of a London paper. After coffee and cigars he asked for the bill, and the waiter, bowing with great def erence, presented it to the host, who ran his eye over the several items. Asking pardon of his guests he showed them the bill, and desired to know if they thought 2&3 francs (fed) a reasona ble snm to charge for the dinner they had had. The opinion was unanimous that the amount asked for so ordinary a dinner was more than exorbitant. The proprietor was called in. He entered with a pompons bearing, and, after hear ing the ease, regretted that it was not the custom of his house to reduce any of the charges mode. Two hundred francs (40) were oflered bint and refused with great dignity and when he found that the American gentleman was inclined to argue out each item with him, he waived his hand deprecatingly, told his custom ers that he was unable to give them any more time, and asked them, since they appeared unwilling to pay the amount of his bill, to do him the favor of consid ering themselves his guests. He left the room; the 200 franos were sent down to him, bnt were refused, and the party quitted the place, furious at the imper tinent manner in which the dinner had been offered gratuitously. In the morn ing the 200 francs Tere offered him again by a public notary, and he accepted them. Keep Dwellings Dry. A warm and dry atmosphere is not un wholesome, but when cloudy or rainy Weather brings a sultry air which damp ens everything around us, the atmos phere may be loaded with the germs of disease, and fire is needed to destroy them. The walls, the ceilings and the floors of apartments should never be al lowed to become iamp. Sometime?, when the warmth of ihe air is oppressive, fire is more nr-oonqnrr to nrenprvfl health than it is at another leason to protect ns irom me cold of winter; and the rooms of a dwjlling should lever be left with out the means of warming and drying. Investigations have ihown that many of the most fatal diseases are caused by the germs of vegetable and animal life, ana mat a no mid atmosphere is most favorable for their propagation. It is, therefore, nealecting. to avail ourselves of the great diBcoverifH of the ace. and failing to protect ourselves from scourges wnicn so leariuliy afflict families, when we ignore the dangers which surround us. Apartments exposed to the full ac tion of the sun may be less comfortable in hot weather than those from which the sun's rays are excluded, but they are more wholesome, and when conta gious diseases prevail in Closely-built cities it is found that the inmates of nouses on that side of the street expos ed to the sun are lees liable to be attack ed, while the greatest number of sick are always found where there is the least exposure to the ravs of the great aisiniector the sun. vmemnati At tisan.
