CRICKET FIGHTING IN CHINA
One of Many Forms of Gambling In
dulged in by Chinese.
Tlio Chinese arc inveterate gamb
lers, and never lose, an opportunity to
bet, no matter how trivial the cause
may bo. One of their great Institu
tions is cricket-lighting, the crickets
being caught, fed and trained as
cinviully as Is a blooded horse. There
i.i a tixed diet for them, part of their
lood consisting of honey and boiled
ciiLstnuts. If they get sick, they are
led with mosquitoes. Prior to fight
ing, their weight Is ascertained and
tuly recorded, there being a fixed reg
ulation as to their size and weight.
On tae door of the house in which
the tight is to take place the record of
eac.i cricket is pasted up, and the
owner of the winner gets ten per cent
of all the bets. The cricket-pit is a
low tub placed ou the table, and, aft
er weighing, the combatants are put
in it and tickled with straws until
they rush at each other with loud
chin tips and fight until one of them
is killed. Uood fighting crickets are
very valuable and are often Bold for
liirsu sums.
The Spotless Ermine.
The idea that the Judicial officer is
supposed to be vested with ermine,
i..oi:gh fabulous and mythical, Is yet
Jiu.ie eloquent in its significance. We
are told that the little creature call
ed the ermine is so acutely sensitive
to its own cleanliness, that it be
comes paralyzed and powerless at the
slightest touch of defilement upon its
bnott -white fur. When the hunters
are pursuing It, they spread with mire
the pass leading to its haunts, toward
which they then draw it, knowing
that it will submit to be captured
rather than defile itself.
"Rain Shields."
In some form or other the umbrella
was in use many centuries before tho
Chnslian Era. We see it depleted lu
the paintings and sculptures of Egypt.
In China uud Japan the umbrella has
beui ,u existence as fur back as his
tory can trace, and the lull war at
lii oi a Japanese soldier Included not
oaiy a (an, but a very large parasol.
At the beginning of the seventeenth
century umbrellas were introduced in
ti Kngland as a fashionable fad. In
those days they were made of feath
ers In imitation of the plumage of
water birds. Later, oiled Bilk be
came the ordinary material. In the
reign ot Queen Anne, as a protection
in wet weather, they became of gen
eral use amongst women. That the
stronger sex disdained them, althouga
men's dress was just as gay and rich
as that of ladies, is proved beyond a
doubt by many writers of tho period.
Subservient to the Master.
Kveu in these days of gaiiantry, a
woman is constantly reminded oi her
old iiiierior position in the eyes of the
' lotus of creation." , The word "la
dy", which is supposed to be so co.n
pliiuemary, means "one who serves
bread" a waitress, nothing more or
less; so that when you address a
countess even as "My Lady," you are
simply saying the equivalent of "my
waitress." "Wife" is another word
lor "wt aver," the woman who weaves
tier lord's and her children s raiment.
'Spinster" is, of course, a "spinner,
.1 word reminiscent of the days wnen
a girl had to spin her complete out
Ut ol house linen before she was lit
to be a wile; and "Mrs." is an abrev
iation of masteress, the most flatter
ing description of all, and yet sho.v
,ng that woman derives ner position
solely liom her master.
A Jap's Many Names.
Every European child can answer
the q-esuou, "Wnat Is your name?''
wiinout hesitation unlets he is dumb,
but the Japanese boy must thin it
a little to make sure, for ut various
per.ods of his life he is called by dii
t'erent names. He receives his first
whin be is just a month old. Tin
tnree different names are written on
three slipa of paper and thrown into
the air in the temple while prayers
are addressed to the family diety.
That w:iic!i falls first to the ground
iK.ir.i the name the child is called till
e is three years old. At filteen the
Japanese boy receives a new name in
Honor of his coming of age. His name
is changed again on the occasion of
his marria'j and on any advance iu
his position.
House Made in Factories.
It Is curious to read of houses as
irtioles of export. Yet the manufac
ture and shipment of houses form an
'important industry In Scandinavia.
'ii re are enormous timber mills near
Stockholm at which wooden houses
ire made by the hundred for all parts
of the world. They arc constructed
in sections for convenience of car
rir.g so that on their arrival at the
places where they are to be erected
the parts can be fitted together. They
are not mere sheds or "shanties," but
elegantly constructed residences suit
able lor the summer dwellings of
the well-to-do. Hunting lodges, school
houses, public halls, and other struc
tures are included nmougst the pro
ducts of the Swedish factories.
Dank of England Notes.
The Hank of England note Is not
of the same thickness throughout. It
is thicker in the left hand corner, bo
as to retain a keener Impression of
the vignette there and It Is also
thicker in the dark shadows of the
center letters and beneath the figures
at the ends. Counterfeit notes are
thus quickly detected, as they are In
variably of the same tlckness through
out. A ;fAIMNTH:i t't'RE FOIt PILES.

DOMESTICS IN AFRICA
Notwithstanding Age They Art All
Classified at Boys.
Must of the work is done by Kaf
firs, who, like the Southern negroes in
slavery times, are called "boys," no
matter what their age mny be.
When the Kaffir boys come from
the kraals no oue ever uses their
native names. As soon as they are
brought into contact with the white
they take a "white" name. This pro
duces results which are uot lacking In
elements of humor.
Among the house boys "Knife,"
"Fork" and "Spoon," were common
names. "Table," "Chair," "Carriage,"
"Watch," and "Matchbox." were other
names that I had in my house at var
ious times. One of my house boys
took the utilitarian name of "Ham
and Eggs."
The Kafilrs are very fond of rice,
when they learn to eat it among the
"whites, and our stable boy thought he
had found the finest name in the
world in "Rice." But tho Kafilrs nave
the same difficulty us the Chinese In
pronouncing the letter "r," and so
poor Rice always called himself
"Lice."
The Kaffirs are the cleanest people
in the world lu some respects. They
are always scrubbing themselves In
hot water anil anointing themselves
with o l al'tei'ivard, but the habit does
not extend to their clothes. They will
take an elaborate bath, and then put
on clothes that never saw the wasu
tub.

Oldest Inn in England.
In the vill'sc of Norton St. Philip
is the liroic Inn. It claims to be the
t:l.le i .Keined village alehouse In
lii.fl r..d, the liet nse dating from 1397.
Its appearance is eminently plctur-
e ;i;e.e, eat h story overhanging that be
neath, while the front is broken bJl
br.y windows, a porch and a flight
of stone steps leading to a doorway in
the wall. At the hack are more quaint
o'ours and windows, a turret built
t; -;:;Ft the wi'l and inclosing an out
s tie ttair, while in the yard still re
K.aiiis a portion of the old gallery
wl.ith in the middle ages was found in
so i:. ; :y horleli ies. Alost of the front
is timbered, Kaoh gable is surmount
ed ly n curious chimney. A curious
fett,:e of the interior Is the upper
door, v. licii Is oi' plaster.
A Psrsian Dinner.
A traveler in Persia thus describe!
a dinner .rived in the household of a
wrbl. uy Ifi'-ian:
"he chief r!!h consists of a fowl
belled to u;s, surrounded by a tooth
so. .:e i:ris of rice, hard boiled egg,
frkd onk.i's, almonds and raisins.
There h a Shin, wine, clear, golden
red lir;ui:l that has traveled over the
mountain pastes on muleback in a
hiij e plass rr.rbuy. Among the des-.
sort manna has a conspicuous place.
This tkliiacy is somewhat akin to
nougat; It is siutlded with walnuts and
almonds ami is jaw sticking to the
last degree. Like the mango, It is
best ep.tcn in private, for it renders
the masticator speechless. It is made
of ?um that exudes from a tree and is
said to be engendered by a worm." '
Ignorant Egyptian Women.
It is difficult fcr English women to
realize the blaakrcss of mind result
ing liom the seclusion of women. It
is true of most that they have never
even seen a book and rarely an Ar
abic newspaper; practically none can
read, they have not even picture
books; anything like serious conversa
tion is unknown; then can talk about
their babies of their trinkets, but
nothing else. Their needlework is
mechanical embroidery; they can
not make their own clothes. They
Know nothing of what Is passing in
the outer world, nor do they even re
alize that there is an outer world. In
the country the peasant women are
not secluded; they are acquainted with
the ordinary operations of agriculture,
but In the towns they know nothing
of this; they have no Idea, or wish
to know, where a potato comes from
or how it grows.
A cemetery containing only the
bones of elephants Is at the foot of a
chain of mountains in Uganda. The
bfssts have evidently come there for
a long time as soon as they felt that
death was approaching them. In no
other way can any one account for
the fact that hundreds of skeletons of
elephants are to be found there. The
nutlves know well that the lordly ani
mals are In the habit of selecting this
quiet spot at their last resting place,
and whenever they want Ivory they
are confident that they can get It by
searching the cemetery.
My face and neck were one mass of
