From l.ippincott's Magazine for this Month.
iIY CHISA BOYS.
Mv first China boy was sent orer to
me front a CLinege intelligence office in
San Francisco by a 'Wells Fargo'
agent. I had written a note to the of
fice acking for a cook.
'Here's a pa.cel for you,' laughed
the Wells F lrgo agent as be lifted a
small mummy swathed in blue cotton
from the wagon and stood him up
against the wall. Before I had recov
ered from my astonishment and dismay
the agent was gone and I was left alone
with the blue-cotton mummy.
'What am I to do with you? I solil
oquized, rather than a>ked. Then for
the fi st time I saw in the middle of
the queer little face a pair of brilliant,
i hlique blink eyes, very small, in ac
cordance with the r-ize of the creature,
but sparkling with the vitality of a
dozi n lives.
Tlenty cook,' said an eager voice.
'Hut you are so little.'
'Plenty cook '
•You cannot reach to the top of a
kitchen-table.'
'Plenty cook.'
It was too late to send back the in
finiiessimal cook until the n< xt day, so
I gave him permission to show me
what he could do in the mean time.
At once he became pressed of a
furv of work, sweeping, ilu-tiiig. wash
ing \n4lnlnws, aml |H'rforining the vari
ous in usehold duties like a si ent whirl
wind. Every few moments there WHS
a pause, the twinkling eyes appeared,
and the question 'l>o?' (Whit shall 1
do next?') was put to me \\ ill) unabated
eagerness. Never before or since
have I seen any one work with the
same honest enjoyment of physical la
bor. When everything bad lieen
scoured and cleaned ami put into the
most perfect order and the question
'DoV was thrown at me again as from
a catapult, I wa»at my wits'end. 'Do?'
be repeated, as I paused to reflect.
Fortunately I happened, in my per
plexity, to look ont of the window and
saw the garden nose. I was saved
Always, after that, when the ' DoV be
canie too alarmingly ini|w*rative, I sent
Ah Choon out to-water the garden. It
was a never-ending source of delight
to him. and an employment that might
lie prolonged indefinitely, Ah Choon
not considering the work properly
done until the water stood iu pools on
the surface of the ground.
I did not send Ah Choon back the
next morning as I had intended. He
amused and inteiested n.e too much,
and then 1 very soon began to be re
ally attached to the li tie fellow.
Some of nty neighbors tell different
stories of their experience with the 'pe
culiar institution,'but uiy Chinese ser
vants have been invariably so gentle,
willing, affectionate and clever that,
whether 1 sent away my boy or le left
of bis own accord, i have always felt
sad when he said good-by, and pleased
when he came to see me afterward.
Ah ('boon's beginning was no flash
in the pan. He kept his unabated en
ergy to the end, which, alas ! came all
too soon. I gave hiin a dollar and a
a half a week, afterwards increased to
two dollars. He surely could have been
no more than ten when he came to me,
but iu a few weeks he not only did most
of the cooking and all the cbamber
work, but took entire charge of a pony
and phaeton and attended to the light
work of a large garden.
An old ladv came Irom the east to
visit me, and, my health not being
good, volunteered to take all home-cares
off' my hands. Tin n came the tug of
war. First, 'grandma,' as we called
her, came to ec tnplain that the China
hoy would not obey her. When I sent
for Ah Choon and asked what he meant
by sui h conduct, he said, 'You buy this
house?'- —'Yes,' I >nid —'Old lady no
buy hm?'—No.' 'Then old lady no
l>o.-M-e. Yi u bosrce-weninn. Old lady
too muchee sass.' 1 explained the sit
uation as well as I could in Pigeon-
English, and remembering the respect
paid to their parents and elders by the
Chinese, I reminded him of that, and
asked how be would like to have a
'Melican' boy treat his mother as he
treated grandma. He lisieded to all I
had to say, seeming impressed by it,
repeating many times, 'Elka klukla nit*
Me no sass old lady.' Shortly afi«T he
ran over to his cousin to borrow a
phrase-book, 'elka klukht me,' means
'excuse me.'
In a little while grandma came back
ag-in, crying, 'I do believe that China
boy is swearing at me in Chinese now '
Again Ah Choon stood before me,
bis shining eyes dimmed with tears.
'Ah Choon,'said I reproachfully, 'you
said you would be good to the old lady,
and now she says you talk badly in
Chinese to her.'
Ab Choon's dark face flushed, and
the tears poured down his cheeks. 'No
can do! no can do!' he cried. 'I no sass
old lady Melican talkee. Old lady
talkee, talkee, too much sass, —allee
time too muchee sass. Lilly Cbinj
boy no can talkee ; lillv China boy no
can sass. Bim-by lilly China boy die!,
I am bound to say that my sympa
thies leaned toward the 'lilly China
boy.' To grandma I counselled mode
ration, advising her to allow Ah Choon
a lii tie latitude, and take no notice so
long as he confined himself to his
mother-tongue, which from that time
he did religiously.
Very soon Ah Choon became an ex
pert operator {in the sewing-machine.
In the evening, after studying his les
sons with an asinuity that might put
a 'M elican' boy to shame, he amused
himself by making full suits of Chinese
clothing for my little daughters' dolls.
Success firing bis ambition, he went
further, and produced coats, trousers
and feminine apparel of all sorts, that
were as complete in detail and fit as
th f ashioned by the most able of
dolls' dressmakers. With a set of old
modeling tools and a lump of clay he
moulded grotesque and realistic ima
ges with a genuine artistic feeling that,
similarly ;-hown in a white boy, would
lie pronounced a budding genius.
One Sunday we found that tbe entire
dinner bud been stolen by tramps the
night I efore, all the shops were closed,
and. us we lived some little distance
in ihe o«untry, there seeu.ed hut a
a gloomy outlook for us. 'lt I hud
Wily luA/wu rt ikfaiu U/u Ci/frkctiu wVro
turned loose!' I remarked; 'but I doubt
if they are large enough to eat, even if
they could be caught.*
I had hardly turned away before I
heard Ah Choou's voice calling from
the chicken yard. He had a pair of the
largest fowls tied together by the legs
with his queue, and was weighing
them with the cock-scales. He cer
tainly was a boy of resources. Was
anything broken, Ah Choon mended
it. He invented novel uses for pots
and pans that were past their pr me;
made new articles out of old ones.—in
fact, was a sort of Ch nese Robert Pen
fold. Nor, though easily moved to
tears, as are all Chinese, was Ah Choon
without personal courage. Some in
cipient hoodlums attacked him one
Su' day as he was returning from Sab
bath-school, which be attended regu
larly Just in time to save the little
heathen a couple of passers-by inter
fered. stopped the persecution, and sent
Ah Choon home with an ugly kuife
cut that harl almost severed an ear from
his bead and a slash across one hand,
lie very reluctantly allowed me to bind
up bis wounds,saying, 'All light; bym
by get well; nev' mind '
When I asked him how it happened,
he drew himself up wiih all the pride
of a lighting general, saying. 'One, two,
sixteen Ilish, bad Ilish boy, fight one
lulv Cl.ina b«»v. Lilly China boy p'eu
ty fight; liliy China boy no 'fl iid; lil.y
China boy no luu; too muchee like
tigln !'
Many times after that I had to rush
to the lilly China boy's rescue. When
ihe schools closed, some of the boys
who had taken up the feud rode their
p.inies at Ah Choon, who ran out when
he saw ibem coining and stood in the
street. No expostulations or threats
could keep him in the Liouse after be
heard the ponies' hoofs.
'Lilly China boy no fluid die,' he
would say. 'Melican boy lide over
Cbit a boy, killee him; go jail one, two,
sixteen years! Maybe p'leeceman bang
Melican boy. He no likee that. Lilly
China boy likee that welly much.'
An old man near by. retiring from
the photographic business, preseuted
me with his camera and chemicals. I
had a skylight let into the stable-roof
and made a dark closet i r one corner.
Nothing could exceed AL Choon's de
light and wonder at these mystic prep
arations. Between the *uriiiug of the
muffins he would dash out to take a
look at the blood-red landscape through
the 6taihed window. When everything
was complete, as the family were all
away, 1 took Ab Choon for a model.
Fear ng lest he should meddle with the
chemicals when I had my eye off him,
I showed him a bottle of cyanide of
potassium with a skull and cross-bones
under the word 'poison' upon the label.
'Savvy! savvy!' said he. Rapidly
opening an imaginary bottle, and swal
lowing an imaginary piece of cyanide,
he dropped suUdenly at full leDgth on
the floor and went through all the
writhings and contortions of a fearful
death by poison. After one last, long,
struggling gasp he crossed bis hands
upon his breast, turned up bis eyes,
and dropped his jaw.
The simulation was a little too hor
ribly exact for my nerves, so I com
pelled a speedy resuscitation of the
corpse and placed him in front of the
camera. When be saw it turned tow
ard bim be gave one start of dismay,
then stood penectly still as I bade him,
grinning, in spite of his evident fear of
this unknown instrument that had to
do with deadly poisons and skulls and
cross-bones, at the comical appeanance
I presented with my head under the
black velvet camera-curtain. Nothing
could exceed bis delight at the result,
unless, perhaps, his disgust at the po
sition he had taken; he was so unhappy
about it that I made another trial, al
lowing him to pose himself. He placed
himself stifly upon a chair, elbows out,
both hands upon his parted knees, (the
Chinese position of dignity), regretting
'.'.leanwhile that he had neither a fan
nor a vase of flowers at h : s s'de, both
of which, from a Mongolian point of
view, are necessary accessories to a
portrait.
This picture, thongb a perfect suc
cess from his own aesthetic stand-point,
lie had no desire to possess, but only
to look at occasionally. I offered to
give it to him to send to his mother,
but he said she would not be pleased,
hut, on the contrary, very angry, ex
plaining, as well as I could understand,
that the whole affair savored too much
of witchcraft, and she would probably
fear that in consenting to it he had in
some way placed himself in the power
of the 'white barbarian;' adding, how
ever, with bis favorite remark, 'Lilly
China boy no '(laid; muddah he 'flaid,
lillv China by he no 'flaid.'
Ah Cboou'sie gn in the kitchen might
have continued until this day but for
an unfortunate accident; he set tbe
house on lire. All the family but my
self and the little children were out at
tbe time (midnight), and Ah Choon,
who had been reading a Chinese novel
in bed, fell asleep and knocked his can
kle over on the chair. The light and
crackling noise woke me. I instinct
ively knew what bad happened, and
flew up to bis room, where 1 found the
poor boy almost dead from suffocation.
I threw a pail of water over him and
dragged him from the fire. He recov
ered his senses in a few moments, and
I sent him for a hatchet to chop open
the floor, as the fire was running be
tween it and the ceiling. It seemed
as though he wns back in the twink
ling of au eye, hut he had found time,
as I afterward discovered to carry the
two little children, without awakening
them, into the front garden, where he
left tbem wrapt in a blanket quietly
sleeping on the grass. With a less in
telligent ally than Ah Choon the fire
would have beaten me, but with his
deft fingers and quick brain to help me,
I soon got it u ider, and we sat down,
drenched with water, smoke-begrimed
and panting, to rest. Curiout ly enough
the fire bad burned nothing belonging
to me hut the chair and a spot through
the floor; but, like a Nemesis, had fol
lowed ail Ah Choon's belongings and
reduced them to ashes. Even his shoes
and stockings, wh.lch he had left some
distance from tbe bed, were now char
red embers. He had nothing left in
the but the exya irdinary night
tfurok&ttj in which hO bat tft ttoit too
BUTLER, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9. 1881
ment. I pointed out his loss to him.
He said that he had observed it, but it
made no difference. He could get more
easily from his couisn.
'What will you wear when you go
to your cousin ?'asked I. 'Garments
of mine or—this ?'
At that he laughed, but his laugh
turned into a cry, and little Ah Choon
went into as genuine a fit of hysterics
as any fine lady could have managed.
No pleadings of mine availed : Ah
Choon was dismissed. There was a
tear in his eye when I shook his little
claw and said good-by, and there was
a tear in mine.
Sometime afterward I beard bad ac
counts from my wasbman of Ah
Choon's subsequent career. He got a
place with a rich lady who was in the
habit of keeping several hundred dol
lars at a time in ber desk. Ah Choon
took a wax impression from the lock,
made a key to it. and after abstracting
four hundred dollars set out for China,
where he ia now in full enjoyment of
his vast and ill-gotten riches.
'1 am indeed surprised,' I remarked
to the wasbman ; 'be was such an hon
est boy with me.'
'Oh, be likee you,' replied the wash
man ; 'he no takee you money. Too
muchee sa s s, sass, he takee money, lun
away. Welly bad,' be adeed as an
after-thought.
Our next boy, Ah Iloon, stayed but
a short time; he called me mamma,
and after some pressing upon the sub
ject told us that the Chinese tag ho
placed upon the clothes when they
when to the wash might be translated,
'Ah Hoou's mamma.' When not as
leep he spent all his spare moments
bathing iu a big washtub.
Owing to general illness in the fam
ily, 1 being an invalid myself at the
time, and the management of affairs
out of my hands, it was deemed advis
able by the powers in authority to
bring in an Irishwoman to help with
the housework. Ah Hoon's indigna
tion was intense; he went about the
house sullen and silent for several
days Taking advantage of a moment
when I was alone, he burst into my
room with his valise and bedclothes.
'Too many bossee-women in this
house!' he cried. 'I go away. You
look see Ino steal. You bossee-wo
man; you look see. Bym-by I go
way. Ilish woman mebbe stealee
spoon, stealee money; go say China
boy stealee. Look see !' and be shook
out each article violently, turned the
valise upside down, packed everything
back again, refused to receive his
wages, and walked off, leaving his
sheets anl blankets beside my bed.
Then for a wearisome time there
was a clanging of pans and clashing of
pottery and trampling of heavy feet
that betokened the presence of the or
dinary servant-girl, two of whom were
found requisite to fill tbe place of my
one little light-footed, nimble-fingered
heathen. How gladly would I have
given bim wax impressions of all my
locks in return for his dexterous ma
nipulation of tbe household machinery!
As soon as I was well enough to re
ceive into my own hands again the
reins of government, I made a clean
sweep in my kitchen, end installed a
new China boy, Ah Gim by name,
instead of the women I sent away.
Ah Gim was fourteen years old.—
thirteen, according to our count. Tbe
Chinese reckon the year they enter as
the year of their age, instead of, as we
do, the year that is accomplished He
was a slender, pretty, very graceful
boy, with a face of more refinement
than one usually sees in the lower
classes of his race.
Unlike Ah Choon, be was an ex
tremely timid boy, and never ventured
very far from the house unless I went
with bim; consequently, when Ah
Gim needed a new pair of stockings or
a handkerchief I had to go with biin
to the town, where he made his pur
chasas.
Ah oiin was much more of a fine
gentleman than his predecessors, anfl
was greatly flattered thai I should per
ceive it and ask him what caused the
difference. He, he informed me, was
a schoolmaster's son, and had been
educated with great care and never al
lavved to associate with vulgar people.
He looked upon 'Christian Charlev,' a
boy who had been converted and was
made a great pet of, with all possible
contempt. Charley was so ignorant
said Ah (Jim, that he didn't even un
dertand his own religion, or he would
lave seen that it was almost the saun
as that to which he pretended to be
converted. He explained his own re
ligious belief to me at great length,
saying that it was very like Catho
licism. 'We are all called idolaters,'
said he, 'because a few of us really are.
But why should ve be despised for
idolatry and called heathen, any more
than the ignorant among Catholics,
who pray to images of the Virgin and
to the cross in as idolatrous a spirit as
any poor Chinaman prays before his
joss? To us educated Chinameo our
gods are merely symbols, which we
use just as the Catholics do theirs,'etc.
This is not given in Ah Gim's own
language, which, however, was greatly
superior in construction and pronun
ciation to that of any other Chinaman
1 have known, except, of course, Chi
nese gentlemen.
Ah Gim did his work in the deft,
quick way that is characteristic of the
Chinese servant, at the same time add
ing manylittle refinements of his own.
He always kept a newly-plucked rose
in a glass on the shelf of his kitchen
sink, taking whiffs of its fragrance as
be washed bis dishes. The bowls of
the kerosene-lamps had rose-leaves
strewn in them, and all the vases in
the house were kept filled with fresh
flowers and water. He objected to the
pony, fearing the smell ol the stable
might cling to his clothes, and refused
to associate with the Chinese servants
in the neighborhood, because their
manners were vulgar.
Like most fine gentlemen, Ah Gim
bad superfine feelings which were
easily wounded. Being too dignified
to mention the fact when we bad un
wittingly injured his feeli lgs, and yet
desirous that we should not languish
in ignorance, he had a curious custom,
coming sometimes ut awkward seasons
of flattening bis fact* against, the wall
ftdd for n Or,
shorter period according to the turpi
tude of the offence. When this hap
pened during the preparation of dinner
or while waiting upon the table, it
was productive of unpleasant feeling.
I said nothing at first, but waited un
til Ah Gim wanted to go to the city
to do some shopping. As usual, he
came to ask me to accompany him, at
which I flattened myself against the
wall and said nothing. The subject
was dropped at once, and Ah Uim
stole sheepishly away. After several
days be took courage to speak again
about going to the city, and again I
promptly and silently took his position
against the wall. This went oil until
he voluntarily promised to abstain
from all flattening and sulks in the
future, and I had no more trouble with
bim on that score.
Being too proud to associate with
his fellow-servants, the poor boy had
very dull evenings. Like most of the
boys I have had, he pent a great part
of his time in study, both in Chinese
and English. But when he was tired
or bad finished his self-imposed ta*ks,
time hung heavily upon bis hands. It
was a great pleasure to him then,
when I was alone, to be allowed to
come in and talk to me He a-ked
tnanv questions about the government
and polities of America, some of which
puzzled and many embarrassed me to
answer, so that 1 was glad to shift
the talk into other channels. But
what I liked even more—shall I con
fess it ?—than the conversation of my
wittiest friends, was to listen to Ah
Gim when he stood before me (he re
fused to'sit in my presence.) his little
brown hands crossed upon his breast,
his head thrown back, his eves shining
a narrow oblique line between his
partly-closed lids, and recited what I
might call the folk lore of his country.
His countenance remained iinpas.ive
throughout, and his positioi. never
changed, but his voice thrilled and
vibrated with the passion and the ter
ror or the pathos of his story.
I shall never, never find another
China boy like Ah Gim. And I lost
bim b; what foolishness, do you sup
pose ? Bv the deadly insult of requir
ing him to use a fine-tooth comb. He
had given bis word not to flatten, so
there was nothing for it but to shake
hands and say good-by.
After my experience with Ah Gim,
my first pre position to a new boy was
the use of the comb or its equivalent
If he refused, well and good ; the bar
gain was off. If he consented, my
heart was glad, for then there was less
likelihood of coming to a rupture with
a good boy after I had grown to like
him and he had become familiar with
the ways of the house. (Let me whis
per to stranirers about to engage Chi
nese servants that it is the safe thinir
to compel a new boy, no matter how
neat and clean he may appear, to wash
his head in a solution of fish-berries
and alcohol or 'arkspnr-seeds boiled in
water, remembering that both are a
deadly poison when swallowed )
My next venture was called Ah
Sin, a bright, dapper lad of fourteen,
of a facetious turn of mind and n merry
most musical laugh. I took him down
to Monterey with me for the summer,
where we lived in a little rose-embow
ered adobe cottage with two Spanish
ladies, Senora Bonifacio and the lovely
little senorita her daughter. Between
the Senora and Ah Sin war was at
once decbued. An indignant outburst
of Spanish would startle me as 1 sat.
drawing .it the window, and I would
hasten out to find the senora, one hand
clutching the shawl over her head,
gesticulating with the other as she
volubly explained that she would not
and could not allow the 'Chinito' to
climb upon her garden-wall and fasten
his clothesline to her favorite pear tree,
thereby shaking off the unripe fruit
The more emphatic the old lady grew,
the more Ah Sin's expression become
that of one serenely meditating upon
fa.-away scenes, while the knots of his
rope were drown tighter as his abstrac
tion become deeper. When I insisted
that the rope .-hould be removed, he
smiled and undid it, but as soon as
my back was turned found some other
means of attaining his object. He
seemed entirely unaware of the Se
nora's evistence, and skipped about
ber whistling 'Baby Mine'ami dodg
ing under her arms as though he sup
posed her some ordinary vegetable pro
duction sprouting from her own garden
The senora kept all gates securely
locked, especially the door in the gar
den wall, which was strictly tabooed
to Ah Sin ; but no locks or bars inter
fered with his incomings and outgo
ings. Whether he said. Open, sesani!'
in Chinese or had made himself a pri
vate key I do not know, but he smil
ingly came and went at his own
sweet will.
During work hours, while the ma
chinery of the house was in motion,
Ah Sin went about with the air of a
man of serious responsibilities; but,
the dinner well under way, everything
polished and in order, he rolled up his
white apron—and his cares with it—
and ran out into the garden for a romp
with little Sam. The air rang with
their gleeful shouts as they wrestled
and pelted each other with fallen pears
and and played ball and other games
dear to the heart of boys. One of
their amusements consist d in practis
ing with a rifle, with which Ab Sin be
came so expert that he. could shoot a
bird on the wing.
Sam bad a pony. It had long been
a dream of Ah Sin's toJiave a ride he
hind Sam on bis 'little homey.' I
gave them permission one morning to
go riding double to gather wild s'raw
beraies iu fields, Ah Sin providing him
self with a grain sack to carry the
fruit in. Lutein the afternoon 1 found
him biding the empty sack. He was
greatly mortified at having made such
a public display which ended in so
poor a fiasco, for they had tw>t found a
single berry, and, as Ah Sin cotife sed
to me a few days after, bors«-ba' k-nd
ing was not all his fancy had painted
it. 'Littl* horsey,' said lie, 'jimp,
jimp, jimp; I jimp, jimp, jimp; one
week time stand up : no can sit
down.'
At this time there were two young
ladies in the family. Naturally,
tl< men from the city were f« unci ot
b tllo ulkkrt M^TtUW/.
We found afterward that all strangers
were met by confidential disclosures
from the China boy as to the young
ladies' affections. 'Missee Belle, he
would say, 'she welly muchee likee
Melicnn painter man; pletty soon she
malty him; she no mallv you. Missee
Nelly she mallv Spanishee man ; bym
by she get plenty key, lockee, lockee
door; tie up bread til lee same senora.'
His delicacy in ihe presence of the
supposed lovers was extreme. If the
exigencies of the situation forced him
to :urn his body toward them, it
moved under his head as though w< i k
ing upon a pivot, so that the queue in
variably fa.-td i hem.
In the evening, when all tic re t
were drawn away by the fi:~
of cascarone-i>arties, moonlight rides
cr strolls upon the beaeh. Ah Sin
came in to make my lire, at which I
liked to sit for an hour or two in the
gloaming. He squatted upon his
haunches like some sorl of a curious
frog about to jump, laying one splinter
after another upon the fife as he watch
ed my face furtively to see if 1 was in
the mood to allow a little talk. If mv
expression happened to be reassuring,
I was entertained by full accounts of
his f.imih itflhiics—ot how a wife hud
been for him while he w.is still
an infant in arms; he was sure his fu
ture spmi-e wou d In* all he could tie
sire. as his mot tier, who had bargain
ed for her, was a wise woman and not
likely to make a bad choice He spoke
witli scorn of having seen 'Melican,
boys talking at d e'en walking iu the
street with girls. 'I tlun nty head
awav,' he said, 'and no look at gul;
walk- e light on ; no i iekee, no iookee.'
In the part of Chin i from whence be
came, he said, all the boys of fourteen
and over wete sent 'on large building,
where they lived together. Sometimes
he confessed, there were fights and
disturbances and rough and noisy play
but that was better than being exposed
to the baleful influence of woman.
'lf you went home now,' I asked,
'would your mother be very g!ad to
see you and you to see her ?'
'Oh, yes," said he. 'No kiss, no hug
I stand here, she stand way off, and
then talkee, talkee—plenty talkte.
Bviu-by no let my miiddah work. I
gettee one wifee, I make her woi k for
muddah. Melican boy he gettee one
wifee, no likee muddah then. Likee
wifee wellv much, no likee muddah
now. Welly bad, that!'
Ah Sin's religious belief 'differed
from that of Ab Gim. When I told
him wt at Ah Gim had said on the
subject, he cried. 'He talkee one lie!
No allee snnie tnat. I welly bad man,
I die, I get one pig ; mob e I get one
lat (rat.) I welly good, welly sinlat
(smart) man, I get one big snake
Bym-by snake die, he go up allee same
god. Bad !iit, he die, be get one lilly
wum (worm;) Lily wum he die, go
down big hole.'
'What do you want to be after you
die ?' I asked.
'Me?' I bkee get one big snake; then
evervbody muchee fluid. I liiakee big
wind blow hard; muchee likee that.'
For one thing he preferred white
people to Chinese. They never, he
said made devils. The process of'mak
ing devils' he explained as follows:
One man welly pour, lend money to
fiend. Poor man he die. he say gi< e
money my muddah ; lie fiend no give
money muddah. Poor man he die, he
makee devil. He fiend plenty flaid
He no pay money to muddah ; bym-by
he get too muchee fluid, he bap-die.
Man-devil makee bim die.'
He spoke of ihe present, ill-feeling "f
the Irish toward his race with surpris
ing intelligence and moderation. The
Irish, he said, were slow to learn, ex
travagant in their habits, incline*! to
drunkenness, and most oft hem unskill
ed laborers. They refuse to do the
work they are capable cf doing, and
always demand the highest wages.
Now and then among them, he said,
were good and clever men, but the
most of l»« m came to this country with
exaggerated id- as of lis freedom and
wealth, only to meet with disappoint
ment.
'Ynti look see !' he said. 'llishinan
he hap thhe (three-) coiner eyes, he
bail man. Plenty llishmau hap got
thlte-corner eyes. Spanishee man
sometimes he get thlce-corner eyes allee
same; he bad man.'
Drunkenness, l.e said could be easily
cured, I hough lie had unfortunately for
gotten the remedy. 11 is brother had de
veloped at anearly agea strong appetite
for drink. His mother, when she dis
covered it, simply went out into the
fields, gathered an herb, made her son
drink the tea from it, and the cure was
soon complete. Could it be, I wonder
ed, the n. w remedy for dipsomania—
red Peruvian bark—accounts of which
had been going the rounds of the pa
pers ?
After a time Ah Sin's merry laugh
was hushed The singing and whist
ling in the kitchen of Chinese songs
(so curiously similar to Methodist
hymns, American street-song's, and I>i;s
of operas caught from t lit; young ladies
—for he had a quick ami correct ear—
were heard no more. Mr fell hack in
his work; the romps in the garden
were at an end. One evening he pour
ed out his heart to Miss Nelly, lie
had fallen in with a had set, who had
enticed him into gambling, lie had
not only lost u|| the savings that had
been meant for his mother, but was in
debt besides. The bad influences about
him he felt too strong to resist. There
was no salvation for him, lie thought,
but in leaving Monterey entirely, lie
waited until we found his successor,
breaking off from his work every few
minutes to hold long farewell conver
sations with thecals, tellinir ti cm how
'too niuchee solly' he was to leave
them.
The new boy came, and Ah Sin
went, regretted by all. See Yung
came from the country; I engajred him
from his brother, a very valuable man
on a dairy-farm See Yung was not
so prepossessing in appearance or man
ner as Ah Sin, but I came to feel v> ry
kindly toward hint, he was s.) gentle
and docile, so invariably irood-nattired
and so allicijomite toward animals a <1

with considerable d'stavor on visitots

This ofu n happened at our house, and
Sen Yung prepared the second dinner
with as smiling a countenance as
though he were one of the guests him
-elf. \et tliere seemed to be always
it touch of pathos in his smile ; the ex
pression of it was that of a dog fond of
a master who abuses him.
Of all my boys, See Yung, though
the most stupid, was the closest stu
>lt nt. Alongside his bed stood his ink.
his writing-brush and books, as well
as his English reader, pen and paper.
I never sat down a moment alone in
the evening but n stealthy step crept
:;i beside me and a soft, meek voice
h-<i*atin«rly asked. 'Tcacbee me now?'
See Yung had probably brought
some malum in his system froin the
Carmello Yalley. He was taken with
an ague-chill. As soon as the fever
went down. I gave him a large quinine
pill which 1 desired him to take.
'Uvin-by,' was his reply.
A few nvnutes after. I heard n rustle
»n the si- irs. I was just in time to
prevent See Yung's precipitate retreat:
the sight of -Melican uian.s medicine'
had frightened him more than the chill,
lie still held the pill in his hand. 1
sternly ordered him to sit in a chair
and open his mouth, in a tremor of
agitation he dropped into the chair,
threw back li.s head and opened his
it; mil ; down went the pill. Jle open
ed his eyes, gave me one reproachful
glance, and fled the house. The sec
ond day after he walked through the
kitchen aud into my room, seated him
self upon the same spot, in the same
chair, and solemnly said, 'Welly good
pill; likee cap more allee same,' threw
hack his head, shut his eyes, and open
ed his mouth. I had mislaid the box,
and hunted for some time before I
found it, but See Yung never moved a
muscle until I popped the pill down
his throat, when he said, 'Thank you,'
and went about his work again. He
doubtless looked upon the magical pill
as a preservative of health as well as a
cure for disease, fo* he took position at
the same hour every day and waited
for his pill until I showed him the
empty box, which he viewed with the
deepest dejection.
Suddenly and unexpectedly it be
came necessary to break up our little
establishment. No one had the cour
age to tell the news to See Yung. At
last circumstances became so impera
tive that 1 was forced to do it. No
words of mine can describe the awful
depression that enveloped him like the
folds of a pall as the full meaning of
my words dawned upon him. He said
nothing, and I could say no more; hut
1 felt as Cain must have done after he
had killed Abel.

TELEPHONES.
The telephone is growing dangerous
ly threatening to the old jog-trot insti
tutions of the past, and while Titusville
witnesses may soon be able to lav in
bed and give their evidence in Mead
ville, or, for that matter, anywhere
else, the whole system of going to
church to hear semions, seems likely
to be revolutionized.
For the sick a boon is offered by this
innovation that was little dreamed of a
few years ago. Here is an illustration
of its working, with unlimited sugges
tions of its ftuure possibilities.
For some time past Mrs. I). <) Wick- i
bar: has been confined to the house by j
serious indisposition, and a few days
ago Mr (ieorge Coburn hurriedly put 1
up a te'ephone in the Presbyterian
Church. He hardly thought it would ,
work as he had so little time to see the J
instrument thoroughly adjusted, but
on Sunday evening we dropped, for a j
moment, into the Central olliee, and
there by the courtesy of Mr. Cobum,
had the pleasure of hearing, very dis
tinctly, the clear delivery of the Itev. |
.1. A. Maxw» II in his sermon, while the
line duets IIIKI solos of the choir were j
very plainly beard.
Later in the evening, we were in
formed that Mrs. Wickman, the lady |
for whom the church telephone had :
been placed, had enjoyed the sermon, j
catching every word of it very distinct- j
ly at her own residence. It is to be
hoped, however, that people in perfect
health will not avail themselves of this
luxury to avoid the collection plate.
Friends will please take this hint in
any wav they choose.— Titunvitle Hrr

DEALIMi WITH TIIIEVES.
A man having bought some wool of
him, which he ha>l weighed ami |>ai«l
for, Mr. Sheaf went into the hack
room to get change for a note. Hap
pening to turn his head while there he
saw in a glass, which hung so as to re
flect the shop, a stout arm reached up
and take from a shelf a heavy cheese.
Instead of appearing suddenly and re
linking the man for the theft, as an
other would have done, thereby losing
his custom forever, the crafty old gen
tleman gave the thief his change, as if
nothing had happened, and then under
pretense of lifting the bag to lay it on
the horse for him, he took hold of it,
and —
•Why bless me, I have reckoned the
weight wrong.'
'(), no,' said the other, 'you may bo
sure you have not, for I counted with
yoo.J
i 'Well, we won't dispute about the
j matter, it is so easily tried,' said Mr.
i S. putting the bag 011 the scales again.
I 'There,' said he, 'I told you .so; I
j knew I was right; made a mistake of
1 nearly twenty pounds. However, if
you don't want the whole, you needn't
have it; I'll take part out.'
'No,' said the other staying the
hands of .Mr S. on the way to the
strings of the bag,'l guess I'll take
the whole.'
And this he did, paying for dishon
esty by receiving the skim milk cheese
at the price of wool.
On another occasion, Mr. S. missed
a barrel of pork. A few months after a
i man asked the question:
'Piil you ever find out who toi k
that pork, Mr. Sheaf?'
•Yes,' v\the <*vp|y, 'you are the

SCREW S AND CAN CAPS.
A few days since the cook came to
us wi:h a glass can of peaches, the cap
of which was screwed on so tight that
a strong man had been unable to un
screw it We directed that a cloth
dipped in hot water be applied to the
outside of the cap, to cause expansion
t>v the heat. This was done and it so
effectually loosened the cap that it
came off .vith no effort. We have tried
this principle on many other occasions.
The ground stoppers of bottles some
limes are found immovably fast. In
this case the heat must be applied to
the neck of the bottle, so as to increase
its size and leave the stopper loosened
within it.
Care should always be taken that the
grouud stopper when inserted is not
colder than the bottle neck, for if it ia
you will have trouble. It will expand
when it becomes as warm as the bottle
and be effectually fa.-tened. In one
we had employed a horse-power
to saw wood, the weather being quite
cold, one of the workmen had >iccasion
to take off a screw, aud after holding
it long enough in his hand to warm aud
expand it, he placed it again without
thinking on the screw and turned it
firmly down. It contracted in cooling
with powerful grasp,so that no wrench
could stir it until a red hot iron was
applied to the nut to restore its size.
In all these attempts the right space of
time nnist be given to heat the nut or
stopper, without beating the part which
it touches, which requires some judg
ment. The metalic can-caps will beat
sooner than the bottle neck. If the
beat is continued too long all will be
come expanded alike, and the attempt
will fail. Seme years ago it became
necessary to unscrew the two parts of
an iron punip for repair, but the rust
held them so tightly together that three
men with levers could not separate
them. We directed the application of
strong beat to the outer tube, and be
fore the heat could reach the inner *
force not exceeding ten pounds sepa
rated them easily. All of which shows
that one's wi.s are sometimes better
than brute force— Country Gentleman.
THAT 810 HORSE AGAIN.
The Fredonia (X. Y. ) Advertiser
of last Friday contains the following in
reference to the big horse which K. H.
Stivenson, of Kittanning sold to Mr.
W. B. Archibald: "It seems hut a
few days since W. B. Archibald
brought to this village from Pennsyl
vania the very worst looking rack of
bones in he shape of a great overgrown
horse that was ever seen in this part
of the country. Even Joel Hoyt, the
great horseman of Jamestown, was
heard to remark to Archibald. 'For
heaven's sake, kill him.' Mr. A. re
plied, Joel, I can see something in that
horse.' Last Saturday he did see some
thing, something few country editors
ever see—sl,ooo. A stranger came to
town and inquired of one of our livery
men, Pwight Dutton, if he knew where
he could buy some large horses to work
on the dock m Pbiladephia. Mr. D. told
him this was no place to look for
horses. The stranger then said that
be had heard there was a t very large
horse in the village. Dutton told him
he could not afford to buy it as the
■ owner would not sell it for less than
SI,OOO. The man replied tbat he would
lit e to see a horse that was worth sl,-
000. Dutton showed him where to go.
When he saw the horse he exclaimed:
I declare! I will buy bim if you will
sell him cheap enough.' Mr. Archibald
informed him that SI,OOO was the price
and that he would not take a cent less.
The stranger first offered S3OO, then
SOOO. then ssoo. and finally agreed to
i give ?I,o' 0 if Archibald would throw
I off enough to pay the expenses of get
ting the animal to Philadelphia. To
all of these propositions Mr. A. had but
: one answer—'a cool $1 000 right here
|in this barn ' Seeing that it was use
less to dicker the stranger accep ed the
offer and handed over the cash. The
horse was then taken to Dunkirk and
shipped in an open car—covered over
at quite an expense— for Philadelphia.
One of the It. It. hands remarked that
they would, in all probability, have to
take off the top of some of the covered
bridges before they got him to bis des
tination. Mr. Archibald paid $75 fo
this horse, ond he suys he has cleared
in the transaction, above all expenses,
not less than SBSO. He is supposed
to tie the largest horse on top of the
earth."— Kittanning Free Prent.
