It in ho privilege or Imno of the
fori'lgn missionary in China to have
v,l.e holiday season twico. lie may, if
ao will, lako notice of his own holi
days; ho must notice (lie Chinese holi
days. The holiday seasun in America
centers around both Christmas and
New Year's. The holiday season in
China centers around New Year's.
According to the Chinese mode of
reckoning, llio year began February fcS.
For weeks before the time the Chinese
begin to show great preparations for
this, the leading event of each year.
Stores are more fully and prettily sup
plied; business lias more life. Pur
chases are made cither for the purpose
of presents, or to keep a full supply
during the days that all shops will be
Llosed.
If I should e'escribo this festival,
which not only extends through New
Year's day, but through a week or two
rollowing'it, I should lirst of all call it
the . Sabbath. It is a time of rest.
There is a change of work, thought
and spirit. The multitude that lias
been steadily plodding along for month
after month, with no diversity or re
laxation, at hist pauses, gives up its
usual style of life, and seeks, like a few
modern philosophers, for happiness.
Fvi ry i no must have laid by a good
store of provisions, for now all shops
are closed. Cnly the poorest are at
work. The richer the man, the longer
he is freed from his customary employ
ment. This is the style. Again I
would call it the Fourth of July of
China. Firecrackers are fired at
night, because it is dark, and
lire! by day, because it is light.
An nlA inn rill a conn mniintT
out of his house, will light in front of
his door a long string of these fire
crackers, and thus the evil spirits are
to le kept away. The priest comes
forth from his gods and altar, and out
Under the open sky sends up loud and
brilliant fireworks. It is hard to tell
whether he delights in it, more because
he is a priest than because he is a man.
If foreigners wish to sleep on New
Year's eve they must seek to be " dull
of hearing." This festival is the Sun
day of China. The Chinaman now not
only rests, but worships. And this
time the public worship in the temple
is rendered by men. Before the sun
rises on New Year's day the family is
pathere.l together, worship is per
formed to heaven and earth, then to
the family gods, then to the
deceased ancestors, and then the
younger members make their prostra
tions to the older members. After this
family worship, with proper presenta
tion of gilts, the men may ba seen
(jaia Into the temples, to burn incense,
leve their gifts before the altar, and
amid the sound of the drum, gong and
bell, and the song of the priest, per
haps, bow before their favorite idols.
The heathen begins his new year with
thanksgiving and petition. This fes
tival is furthermore the pay day of the
Chinese. At least all debts must be
fettled satisfactorily before the old
yi-ar has gune. If, perchance, any have
failed to s;'tllu up their accounts with
their creditors, they will be found
hastening around next morning with
lighted lanterns, to show that the
work tf the past night has not
yet be.-n finished. If they have
nothing at all wherewith to pay,
the croditcjr may euter the debtor's
Siouse, and take or destroy to his heart's
sontent. "While many are never, even
in ( ihina, out of debt, very few but have
made a satisfactory settlement. And
nmid all the debts, the more devout
Chinese do not fail to recall their debts
to the gods; and by gifts and prayer
these debts are also settled. This New
Year's day is also the birthday anni
versary of every C hinese. If a child is
born only a few days before the close of
the one year, at the beginning he is two
years old. If the Chinese have seen
tweuty-two years, they are twenty -two
years old. Every person is one year
older when the new year begins. Every
home is celebrating its own happiness,
and especially the happiness of the lit
tle children. As the bov i3 of more
worth than the girl, it may be easily
imagined how great a person is the
small uoy. iiiis season is also a
memorial sea-on. If any home dur
ing the past year lias been
visite i vy death, the remaining
members of the household recall the
sad day, and in meditation stay quietly
at home. nue an names and shops
and stores are at this time decked with
u-w paper signs and mottoes of red,
thus symbolizing a new year as yet
unstaiiv d, the houses of mourning
paste up against the gateway or door
way some motto written cn paper that
is blue, and sometimes while, both of
whiirh a:e signs of mourning, instead
oil black. This period is introduced
by a gene a', wa-h day. The doors,
di or-i.ls, (lix rs and garments, are all
cleaned. ISetter than all, every person
lahft a u:un. ihis is all the more an
imp irlant event, in the lives of many,
In in its oceurrenco on'y once a
year. Having thus betn made
ile.in himself, lie now puts on
his bo-t clothes. If he lias
none goo. I of his ow n, ha hires a dress
for a day or two. just a young men of
stylo in New York Lire a dress suit
for a night or two. Every one, well
dressed in s-ilkx, satins and furs,
inarches forth to make calls, to bow or
bo bowed to and, mora than all, to
show his "'unday-go-to-meeting
clothes." Though the women fur a
few days at lir.st aro required to stay
at home, they fix up for their own
praise.
Tliis season, last of all, is the season
i f amusement. Jttch men hire actors,
build a stage in. the open air and
amuse the masses. I'ious people go to
ho temple and witness the theatre
there. High ollici.ds, who close
their o!lic( now for us many
fu thirty davs, ull oyer te a
piro, give to the roor, 1,sten
to the music of some strolling band,
laugh nt the jugglers, hold a theatre, or
receive guests with their polite pros
trations. The good portion of the
people gamble, drink or smoke, which
pleasures are not limited to this perio 1.
Now pleasure is sought for with a
more intense craving, Whilo foreign
ers grumble because they can't get
their servants to work well, the ser
vants find enjoyment in the mere
srolding of master or mistress. If a
Chinaman never laughs at other times,
lie manages to laugh now. Ihv. Gil

Anciently one of the utensils of the
barber was a brass ba-in with a semi
circular gap in one side, to encompass
a man's throat, by means of which, in
ipplving the lather to the face, the
clothes were not soiled. It will ba
recollected that Don Quixote assumed
a barber's basin as a helmet.
Before cutting a man's head off in
China the authorities make him drunk;
and occasionally a rich convict who
has been sentenced to death will hire,
or rather buy, a coolie to take his
place. The coolie leads a riotous life
for some little time beforehand, and at
last, in a state of besotted helplessness,
meets death without apparent sinter

Columella, Cato, vitruvius and rimy
all had their notions of the advantage
of cutting timber at certain ages of
the moon, and their superstition was
long preserved in the royal ordon-

of the forests, who were directed to
fell oaks only " in wane of the moon,"
and " when the wind was in the

The practice of chewing the betel
nut, not unknown in China, is carried
among the Malays to great excess, the
betel nut being to the Malay what
opium Is to the Chinese or tobacco to
the .Japanese. Miss l!ird, a recent
traveler, condemns it as "a revolting
habit," and the account she gives of it
shows it to be nothing less. If a man
engaged in chewing betel nut speaks
during the process, his mouth looks as
if it were full of blood. It blackens
the teeth, moreover ; and the Malays
say. with a certain superficial accuracy,
that to have white teeth is to be like
a beast.

Strict In Hnlrilrrsslng-.
The present fancy in coiffure ar
rangement is to a certain extent more
elevated, although ladies to whom the
low Grecian knot is becoming have
not, and it is to be hoped will not,
abandon that graceful style of hair
dressing. . AVith a slender faca this
style seems to lengthen tho contour,
while tho loose, graceful coils brought
high up on tho head tend to detract
somewhat from this otherwise elong
ated appearance. Uut, whichever
style i3 adopted, the stiff, Hat
effects produced by wearing bang nets
or using bandolines is carefully avoided.
To ladies with very dark hair many
frizzes and crimps aro unbecoming,
and the brunettes at pres. nt usually ar
range the front hair in a few careless
rings or waves.
Very little false hair is used, and
any one who possesses a knot as largo
as an ordinary sized door-knob accord
ing to the present fancy needs no false
hair, but unfortunates who can sustain
but a still more scanty growth must
have this slight deficiency supplied by
art. So a variety of "pieces" designed
to coyer the 'desert spots sometimes
existing on tho top of a young or
elderly matron's head are seen. One
broad, straight piece arranged in loose
rings high up on the forehead seems to
be quite popular at present.
Young ladies with light blonde hair
have a fashion of frizzing the bang and
then let it fly, which is very unbecom
ing and in many instances gives the
damsel thus adorned nn untidy appear
ance. Barbers say they do not make
tho bang as heavy as formerly,' but
they are by no means abandoned,
although the tendency is to show moro
of tho forehead. AVhen the hair is
coiled high on the head several little
short, loose curls are added just at the
nape of the neck. These are particu
larly becoming to blondes. Bvookhjn

To rnn Kvrron:
The following circumstance, drawn from
rny personal ninerimirft. nrw an imnnrtrmt
nnd renlly rcmnrkablo tlmt 1 have felt called
upon to make them public Their truth can
b,P amply verified:
l'l 1876 I moved from Onnton, Rt. Tinwrnnce
comity, N. Y., to Florida, which State- I in
tended to make my future, resilience. I pur
clinsed a home on tliebanksof the St, John's
river nnd settled down, ni 1 thought, for
life. Tho summer following the first winter
I wa conscious of most tiwulinr nptiRfituinn.
which seemed to be the accompaniment of a
change of climate. I felt a sinking nt the
pit of tho stomach, Accompanied by
occasional dizziness nnd tiniiFoa. My
head ached. Mv limbs iminnil iiia nntl T
had nn oppressive sense of wenriuess.
I had a thirst for noiJs an.l my appetite was
weak and uncertain . My digestion wns im
paired nnd my food did not assimilate. At
mm l imagined it was tho eltort of nature to
become ncchmntoil, nnd sol thought little
of it. But my troubles incrensed until 1 bo
cuno restle-s and feverish, nnd the physi
cians informed ms I wns suffering f mm nin-
mriat lover, llus continued in spito of nil
the best physicians could do. nnd I kept
growing steadily worse. In the year lNk0
my physicians informod me a change
of climate was absolutely necessary that I
could not survive another summer in the
South. I determined 1o return North, but
not to the extreme portion, nnd ao I took up;
my residenoo at tipper Sandusky in Central,
Ohio. The change did not work tho desired
cure and I ngaiu consulted physicians. I
found they wore unable to cllectn perma
nent cure, nnd when the extreme warm
weather of summer came ou I grew
so much worso that I gave up
nil ho; e. At that time I was sutToring
terribly. IIow bndly, only those enn appre
ciate who have contracted malarial disease in
tropical regions. It seemed as if death
would lid a relief greater than any other
blessing. But notwithstanding all this, I am
happy to state that I am to-day a perfectly
well and healthy man. IIow I came to re
cover so remarkably can be understood from
the following card voluntarily published by1
me in tho Sandusky (Ohio) Jiepublican,
entitled :
1IONOB TO WHOM HONOR IS DUB.
Editors KseunLioAN : During my recent
visit to Upper Sandusky, so many inquiries,
wero made relative to what medicine or
course of treatment had brought such a
marked onango in my systom, l tool it to be
due to the proprietors and to the mihlio to
state that Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure accomplished for me what other medi
cines and physicians had failed to do. The
malarial poison which had worked its waysj
thoroughly through my system during my live
years residonco in Florida had brought me
to the vorgo of tho grave, and physi
cians had pronounced my case incurable;
but that is not to be wondered nt, as it was
undoubtedly one of tho worst on record.
Hough .brothers, ot your city, called mv at
tention to tho modicine referred to, and in
duced me to try a lew bottles, bo marked
was the change after four week's trial t lint I
continued its uso, nnd now, after threo
months, tho cure is complete. This is not
written for the benefit of Warner it Co.. but
for tho public, and especially for any person
troubled with malaria or bilious attacks. '
Such is the statemont I made, without so
licitation, after my recovery, nnd such I stand
by nt the present moment. Iain convinced
thatrWRruer's Safe Cure is nil it is claimed to
be, and as such deserves the great favor it
has received. A romedy which can cure the
severest case of tropical malaria of five
years' standing certainly cannot fail to euro
those minor malarial troubles which are so
prevalent and yet so serious.

Biliousness and Bilious Patients
Far-talnlng to Blla, Billona STmptoma.BU

The Bilioun in a disorder of the human
fj-Rtom. A tochnionl dolinition of the tern
in this: "Pcrtnining to the bilo; disordered
in rrsjiect to the bilo-, tut, a bilious ptttient
doticiHlmit on nn excess of bilo; as, biliout
temperament; bilious symptoms.
The word bilo, when employed in the sense,
in which it is to be understood in this artiols.
pifrniflcs, according to the Dictionaries, "A
follow, greenish, bitter, viscid, nauseous Cuid,
secreted by the liver." "Any domngement
of the bile at once manifesto iteolf in great
bodily discomfort, in loss of appetite, and iq
despondency," recently remarked an anthoi
of a va'uitblo trentise npon this subject.
The eame writer farther adds: "Some of
the following symptoms are usually promt,
nont: Fain in the right side, which is very
sensitive to pressure. The pain will some,
times appear to be located under the shonldet
blade. There is also irregular appetite,
flatulenco, a sense of fullness in the region
of the stomnch, and, sooner or Inter, the skin
and whites of the eyes become yellow, tht
stools clay colored and the nrine yellow,
depositing a copious sediment." Thobalanc
of the too familiar train of ills needs no
further mention hero, Tho bilions is, as will
be seen, is nn aMiction of great magnitude,
nnd of varied forms of direct and indirect
nppearanco. The disease is no respecter of
persons or localities. IU deadly and im.
placable memy is found in

It acts on the liver and kidneys at the sama
time, and by its mild but efficient cathartio
effects moves the bowels freely. The morbid "
poisons that hnve been the cause of all thil
disease nnd sullering will be thrown off; new
life will bo infused into every organ, nnd
nature thus aided will soon restore the patient
to health.
Fhysicinns of ropnto nnd standing, men
who ore honored for their probity, nnd
respected nnd trusted for their scientific
attainments, nre using Kidney-Wort in their
practice regularly. No stronger evidence of
the worth of the remedy would seem to bs
necessary. Such indorsements are few and
fur between. We httd almost said that they
were without precedent in the history of a
firopriotary remedy. He that as it may,
lowever, the fact remains established that
Kidney-Wort is a matchless remedy, and one
that needs only to be tested to demonstrate
its rare merit as a healer of most of the
