EVERYTHING UPSIDE DDRN.
I.tter from Foochow, China, gives
an amusing sketch of the contrast be-
tween the social customs of the Flowery
Land and the Land of Liberty. He says:
During our stay ,at Foochow I visited,
accompanied by our missionaries long
resiaent there, a number of the Chinese,
and had an oppottunity .pf obsclrving
their social habits and customs. How to•
tally different they are frrim us in their
habits, ways, mode of education, morals,
everything ! No wonder that we are "out
side barbarians" to them and they
"knights of the umbrella, fan, petticoats
and pig tail" to us. To show how strange
ly the way they "live, move and have
their being", appears to foreigners I shall
quote from a recent traveller: On inquir
ing from the boatman in which direction
Macoa lay, I was answered west-north,
and the wind, he said, east-south. "You
do not say so in Europe," thought I.
Bat imagine my surprise when, in en-
planing the utility •of the compass, he
added that the needle pointed south !
On landing the first object that attracted
my attention was a military officer, who
wore an' embroidered petticoat with a
string of beads round his neck and a fan
in his hand. His insignia of rank was a
peacock feather pointing downwards, in
stead of a plume turning upward, and a
button on the apes of his sugar loaf cap,
instead of a star on his breast or epau
lettes on his shoulders, and it was ,with
some dismay I observed him mount on
the right side of his horse. Several scab
. bards hung from his belt, which of course
I thought must contain dress swords or
dirks, but on venturing near, through the
crowd, I was surprised to see a pair of
chopsticks and a knife handle sticking
opt of one, and soon his fan was folded'
up and put in the other, whereupon I
concluded he was going to a 'dinner in
stead of a review. The natives around
me had all shaved their hair on the front
of their heads and let it grow long behind.
Many of them did not shave their faces,
but their mustaches grew over their
mouths,
and, lest some straggling hairs
should diverge cheekways, the owners
were. busily employed pulling them
down. We arrange our toilets differently,
thought I, but I acknowledged the happy
device of chopsticks, which enabled these
gentlemen to put their food into the
mouth endwise underneath the natural
fringe.
On my way back to the hotel I saw a
group of old people, some of whom wore
gray beards; a few-were chirruping and
chuckling to singing birds, which they
.carried perched on sticks or in cages,
others were catching flies to feed them,
and the remainder of the party seemed to
be delightfully employed in flying kites,
while a group of boys wers looking
gravely on and regarding these innocent
occupations of their seniors with the most
serious and gratified attention.
As I had come , to the country to reside
for some time, I made inquiries respect
ing a teacher, and happily found one who
understood English. On entering he.
stood at the door; and instead of coming
forward and sh;king my hands, he po
litely bowed arOhook his own, clasping
them before him. I looked upon this
mdoe as a decided improvement, especi
ally in doubtful cases, and requested him
to be seated. I knew I was to study a
ariguage without an alphabet, but was
somewhat astonished to see him begin at
whatl considered the end of the work.
He read the date of publication, "the
firth. year, tenth'month and first day. r
"We arrange our dates differently,"
obserred, and begged him to read, which
he did, from top to bottom and from right
to left. "You have an odd book
here," I remarked, taking it up; "what
is the price'" "A. dollar and
eight-thirds," said he, upon which
I counted out three dollars and went on
lofting atit. The paper was printed only
On one side, the running title was on the
;dge of the leaves instead of the top of
he page. the paging was near the bottoni,
the number and contents of chapters
their ends, the marginal notes on the to ,
where the blank teas double the size of
that at the ,foot, and a broad black line
across•each page separated the two words
composing the volume instead of one
being printed after the other. The back
was open and sewed outside, and the
- name of the work written on the upper
edge. "Yon have given me' too much,"
said he, handing me two dollars and one
third, and then explained that eight-thirds
was eight divided by three, or only three
eights.: A. small - vocabulary he carried
with him had the sounds arranged accord
ing to their 'termination—ming, king,
sing; being all in a row, and the first
word in it was sein. "Ah, my friend,"
said I, "English - won't help you to find
a word -in that, book. Please give me
your fiddress." He accordingly took out
a red card as big as a sheet of parer. in
stead of 'a neat white strip, and wrote
4 Wer Lanyean." "I thought your game
was Mr. Wer. Why do you write your
name wrong end first?" I inquired. "It
is you who are wrong," replied he.
"Look In 'your own directory, where
alone you write names,as they *should be,
placing the honored family name first."
- could, .ohly • say, "Customs differ,"
and giving tack the book begged him to'
ape* of ceremony. He commenced:
"When you receive a distinguished guest
do not fail to give him a place on your
left, for bat is the seat of honor, and be
cautious not to uncover the head, as that
would be an unbecoming act of tarniliar
. ity." This was a severe , blow to my
established notions; but- when he re
opened the volume and read. "The most
learned men are decidedly of the opinion
that the seat of human understanding is
in the belly," I exclaimed, "better say
- in the feet," and immediately shut up
the book, dismissing him until another
day, for this shocked all my principles of
correct philosophy, even if Solomon was
against me.
On going abroad I met so many things
contrary to all my preconceived ideas of
propriety that I really assented to a
friend's observation "that the Chinese
Trere"our antipodes in many things be
yond locatim" "Indeed," said 1,
"they are so; I shall expect shortly to
see a man walking, on his head. Look!
there's a woman in trowsers and a party
r gentlemen in petticoats; she is smols/
'ink arcigar and they are fanning them
selves." But I was taught not to trust
to appearance too much, as on passing I
saw the latter wore light undergarments.
We soon after met the steward dressed in
white, and I asked him what merrymak
ing he was'invited to; with the look of
the deepest concern he told me he was
returning from his father's funeral. Boon

who was
and crying, , and I asked .
manauppressing a smile` taitid, "It is a
girl about leaving home to be married,
who is lamenting with her fellows."
I thought after these unlucky essays I
would ask no more questions, but use my
eyes instead. Looking into a shop I saw
a stout fellow sewing lace nn a bonnet for
a.Portuzuese lady, and going on to the
landing place, beheld! all the ferry boats
were rowed by women, and from a pas
sage boat just arrived, I saw the females
get out of the cabin at the bow. "What
are we coming to next." said I; and just
then I saw a carpenter take his foot rule
out of his stocking to measure some tim
ber, which his apprentice was cutting
with a saw whose blade was set nearly at
right angles with the frame. Before the
door sat a man busily engaged in whiten
inz the thick soles of a pair of shoes.
"That's a shoe white, I suppose," said I,
"and he answers to the boot black of
other lands." "Just so," said my friend,
"and beyond him is a poor wretch with
a board around his neck for a shirt col
lar, for be has got into chokey, an article
of his toilet which answers to the gyves
with which those lads in the Tombs are
garnished instead of bangles."
In the alleys called streets the signs
stood on their ends, and the pigs were
packed in baskets, which coolies were
carrying, to the infinite satisfaction of
their inmates; and the shops seemed to
have lost their fronts and ejected their
inmates into the streets; where
they were eating, cooking, working, sell
lug and sleeping in every imaginable way.
A loud voice ltd us to look in at an open
door to see what was going on, when we
saw it was a school and the boys were
learning their lessons, all crying like auc
tioneers, We next passed a fashionable
lady stepping out of her chair, her feet
only three inches long, her plaited and
embroidered petticoat a foot longer than
her gown, and smallest at the bottom,
and her waist quite concealed. Then
came an acquaintance of my friend, ac
companying a splendidly carved coffin.
"Who's dead?" asked he. "No man hab
die," replied the Celestial; "this one piece
of coffin I presented to my (Ad fader; he
likee too much, count my number one
proper; 'spose he die, he can usee he 1"
"So, he?" rejoined my friend, "how
much price can catchee one all same for
that?" "I think can catchee one alla
same so fashion one tousand dolls , , so,
this hab first chop handsome, lo."
"Do you call that gibberish English or
Chinese?" said 1,, for the language
sounded no less strange than the custom of
presenting a coffin to a live father differed
from my preconceived notions of filial
affection. "That's the pure Canton
English," said he, "you must be a Jack
Downing of Canton to immortalize it."
"Come, rather let us go home, " said I,
"for lam getting dizzy and sall soon
be upside down in this strange country."
The foregoing is a somewhat ludicrous,
but a graphic and truthful description of
the strangeness of China to a foreigner,
and this oppositeness extends to every
thing. Their common drink is warm,
and ours cold, their dinner commences
with confectionary and fruits and ends
with soup; they remove their shoes as a
token of respect (Moses did the same) we
the hat. In fact in almost every popular
manner are they our opposites. And
yet they have a civilization all their own,
and which, though deri fed from the most
remote antiquity, in many respects
equals, in some excels ours:
How Paper and -Cloth may be Rendered
W ater.proor.
Mr. N. C. Szerlmey, of Pimlico Eng
land, has recently invented a mode of
rendering paper and other like materials
water-proof, which is thus described: He
melts, in ten pints of hot water, thirty
ounces of glue, gelatine, or size, and
three ounces of gum arabic In another
thirty pints of hot water, he melts twenty
ounces of soap and four pounds of alum,
afterward mixing together the whole liq
uid in one pot. This is composition No.
1. In• another pot he heats half a gallon
of benzole and one gallon of paraffine oil,
and melts initliventy-four ounces of res
in. To these matirials, resin, oil and co
pal or mastic varnish may In some cases
be added, and he lets it boil until it attains
a moderate degree of consistency. This
is composition No. 2. ' He first dips the
article to be water-proofed into composi
tion No. 1, in a heated state, and after
wards dries it; then be applies the second
composition, in a cold state, with a brush,
or in other convenient manner.
This recipe ie very easily tested, and if
It should prove reliable, it will prove of
great value for many purposes. Applied
to wall paper in damp houses, it could
hardly fail to be of service if it lfills the
inventor's description.—Mant.facturer

THE SALE OF SPIRITUOUS Lrquons in
Gothenburg, Sweden, after a variety of
experiments by the authorities, is carried
on according to the following method:
A reform society of gentlemen z ornigh so
cial standing has obtained entire control
of the traffic in spirits in the city, under
an agreement to apply / the whole of the
profits above expenses' for the benefit of
the poor. The society. It is reported, has
reduced the number of licensed houses to
less than forty, one-third of the former.
number, and has bound the proprietors
to sell only at fixed prices, giving a profit
of only one and a half per cent., with ob
ligations to keep a supply of all harmless
drinks, including 1 beer, at whatever
profits they could command, thus matting
it the interest of the venders to sell these
drinks instead' of liquors. The effect, it
is asserted, has been an almost entire ces
sation of drunkenness.
The Des Moines. lowa, 13tate Regiater
says: "Contrary to most expectations
wheat is turning out a much better crop
than was expected. A gentleman who
has been threshing ever since grain has
been fit, states that lot afield has. ben
threshed by him that, did not ayerage fif
teen bushels to the acre, while - some oth
ers turned out eighteen and twenty bush
es of good grain. Insoine localities the
grain is pretty badly Shrivelled, buttaken
altogether an average crop may be expect
ed, and at least' as many bushels will he
marketed this - fall as there were last. We
have been told of a twofold patck of
wheat, / grown from seed brought from
Manias, that threshed out.sixty.six bush
zels of the best wheat grown in that sec
tion this season. That's a pretty heavy
yield, it the seed did come from Kansas."
BURLINGTON, 'VT., has been christened
the "City of Mary" by the Pope, in a
document signed with his hands, and
among the privileges conferred on the
new Catholic Churn there is to possess
a statue of the Virgin, blessed and in
dulgenced-by the holy father.

Or. SCHENCK'S IitriLMONYC
, SYRUP SEAWEED TONIC . AND
MANDRAKE PILLS will cure Consumption,
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken accord
ing to directions. They are all three to be taken
at the sometime. They cleanse the stomach, re
lax the livor and put it to work; the.% the appetite
becomes good; the fowl digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow In flesh; the
diseased matter ripens Into the lungs, and the
patient outgrows tee disease and gets welt. This
is the only way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. ,f 11. Schenck. of
Philedelphia. owes his unrivaled success In the
treatment of pulmonary Consumption. The Put
atonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
nai ure throws It off by au ea-y expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
slis ht cough will throw it off. and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
T do this, the seaweed *ionic and Mandrake
Pills must be finely uted to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonie Syrup and the
food will make good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act noon the liver,
removing all obstructions. relax the ohms of the
gall bladder, the bile starts freely. and the liver
is soon relieved; the stools Will show what the
Pills can do,• nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly po'son telt Is very dan
gerous to use unless with great care,) that will
unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions
of the liver likeSehenck's Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of tffirlilbst prominent
causes of Consumption.
Scheitick's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant.
and alterative. and the alkali In the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made oi. assists the
stomach to throw out the gastric Mice to dissolge
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and It is made
into good hood without fermentation or souring
Lffthe stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumptionfs, they try to do '..t00 much; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
atop night sweats, hectic fever and by so doing
they derange the whole digestivepowers. lock
ing up the secretions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, In his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Be.
move the cause, and twey will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of C.onsump-
Bon, Liver Complaint. Dytpepsla. l.astarrn,
Canker, Ulcerated T hroat , unless the liver and
stomach are made healthy.
If a person nag consumption, of course the
rings Insome way are diseased, either tubercles,
abcessea. bronchial Irritation, pleura adhesion,
or the lungs are a mass of infiammation and fast
decaying. in such cases what meat be done? It
1s not only the lungs last are wasting, hut it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to Make blood out of fo d. Now tne
only chance Is to tats Dr. Schenck's three medi
clues, which will bring up a tons to the stomach,
the patient will begin to want food, It will digest
sully and make good blood; then the patient ne
gins to gain in flesh. and as soon as the body be
gins to grow, the lungs commence to heal up.
and the patient gets fit shy and well. This Is tne
only way to cure Consumption. •
When there is no lung disease and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepata, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, a lthont
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mancrake
freely In ad billions complaints, as they are per
fectly b armlets.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs .`4IAS
pounds. was wasted away to a mere skeleton, In
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consnmptios,
hl • phthicians having pronounced his case hope

LEADS ALL COMPETITORS.
Tt e distinctive , feature of the WHEELER &
wthsos MACHINE 19 the use of a ROTARY
HOOK to carry the loop of the upper thread
around the spool containing the under, making
the lock-stitch alike on both sidts of the fabric,
thereby doing away completely with the vib:a-
tory motion of a shuttle, the ter.slon upon the
under thread, and all devices for tak lug up slack
thread; these are necessary on all ;two -thread
Machines. 'The public have indorsed this prin
ciple by purchasing over 380, 000 'of our Ma
chines—more than 100,00 in excess of those of
any other manufacture! It has long been ac
knowledged by far the most simple Lock-stitch
Macnine In existence; having one-third less ma
chinery than' any other two thread Sewing Ma

'The WHEELER & WILSON SEWING MA

sides of the goods.
"Some of the Sewing 3fachines are very ez
trava gint in the use of thread; one of the most
noted of those making the double Wort chain
s,itch, using six yards of thread to one of sew=7
