The Chinese.
We once asked a famous coleopterist
says theCVunesa Timet whothor he did
not rogtet having dovotod hli life to
iucIi a narrow study. "No1' he em-
phatically replied; "If I could live my
life again I would dovoto It to ouo
family of beetles." A melancholy ex-
ample of the domination of one idea.
Of all civilized pooplo the most con-
spicuously want of relief in the monot
ony of thoir ideas are tho Chinese
The llindus have their frequent poo-
jahg which make great inroads into
their working time; the Mohammedans
have their festivals; the Burmese are
always gay and require very little
pertext to have a pooay" or entertain-
ment; the Manila Indians and Mestizos
lend quite a merry life and the Japan-
use we know to be the bost holiday
makers in the world. But when we
come to the Chinese we see a plod
plod plod from year's end to year's
end: and with the exception of a day
or two's ruinous dissipation on the oc-
casion of a marriage or a funeral and
a little dumb show ccrinony at the fam-
ily grave the ordinary life of a Chin-
ese appears to foreign eves ns dull as
Hint of a galley slave. Even the rich
are little belter off than the poor
owing to the absonce of moans of re-
creation and their inability to enjoy
those that do or might exisL An offi-
cial dare not attend a theatre for the
fear of being donounced and to eo
for a half a day's picnlo would expose
him to the attacks of the censors. Tho
amusement of the Chinese officials
must therefore be kept within the pri-
vacy of their own walls and unless they
bave a strong taste for literature or
eurlo collecting they must often be
tempted to fall back on porsonal in-
trigue of various kinds merely to oo-
cupy the vacant chambors of the mind
fs it this that causes high Chinese ofll-
oials to engage themselves in the pettiest
details which In other countries would
be relegated to quite subordinate ftrno-
uttionarlesP The absence of healthy re-
creation appears to act on the mind as
a privation of vegetable diet does on the
body; in the one casn the defoct may be
remedied by lime juice; what is the
cure for the otherP
The aversion to physical exercise
partly innate and partly imposod by the
oppressive canons of social etiquette.
Is perhaps the most morally destructive
of all forms of the privations of
amusement Moral health has great
difficulty In maintaining itself without
frequent and ooplous draughts from the
iprfngs of nature; nnd the life that is
mowed up between brick walls in an
atmosphere laden with odious effluvia
is of necessity thrown back on its own
inner darkness with what consequences
it is easy to imagine All forms of
open-air amusement are therefore to be
considered as boons to tlte Chinese and
if on the love for gambling already
well developed could be entrrafted the
love of true sport; it would be a sign of
mac a waicening irom tne sleep of
ages which a celebrated essayist h

Anecdotes of a Phrenologist;
The veteran phrenologist of Ver
niout and nerhaps of New England ns
well has nww cone from his work at
over 70 years of ago with a record ol
nearly half a century's service. Once
In the northorn part of New liamp
shire he gave his first lecture in that
place In the village hall intending to
follow the discourse if satisfactory
with a sorlos of them. At the close of
his romarks a fellow In one corner In
quired with some display of temority
whether the speaker would consent to
being blindfolded and perform a publio
examination ot a noad on tne follow-
ing evening. Tho professor replied in
the affirmative and the roau remarked
with a snort that "Waal ef your goin
ter resk your profits in this town on
that head . ter-morrer you'll come out
sprinirpoor. ill botcher." ine meet'
lng adjourned and the next night tho
room was crowded with people from
all around anxiously awaiting to see
tho science and its cxpondent rise or
fall in the trial. The fellow who had
challanired the profossor firmly refused
to say anything about whose head was
to be examined only that lie naa
fellow coming and when the professor
had boon blindfolded that fellow who
was a notorious liar walked up and
seated himself and the audience wait
ed with bated breath. After fooling
of the subject's head for a few moments
and tolling some qualities in general
the examiner stopped "uo you nna
any peculiar faculty P" inquired a man
on the front seat. The phrenologist
lowerod his head a little and said.
will not deny that I do. If you have a
story that has come out spring poor
give it to this man and he will fat it
up." Again a minister was receiving
a delineation of his character aud
very superior but somewhat vain head
was discovered. To test his science
i. e. to tell whether the man was roul
Jy vain and to see whether that
vanity had been sanctified he was
told that he had ere at power of prayer.
The good clerical gentleman straight
ened up winked approvingly and loin
ed the verdict thus: "That's correct

Clever Monkeys.-
It is odd that mankind has not more
generally attempted to utilize the clev
erness and imitative faoulty of the
monkey. Perhaps however this little
four-handed creature Is too michievous
to be trusted very extensively.
A woman in Toulouse one day locked
up her money in a desk and went out
shopping. On her return sho missed
a considerable sum. but there was no
trace of a burglar. Very muoh bewil-
dered the woman was deep in reflec
tion over the matter when she heard a
roar of laughter from her neighbor's
garden.
"Oh the thief!" cried several per
sons. "Where has be stoiou itr '
The dame instantly ran out saylne
"Oh my money messieurs! Where is
the thiefP"
"He is up a tree madanie" point'ng
to a monkey on a high branoh above
thorn "but here is the money."
The nionkejr had been seen to climb
into one of the lady's windows had
nuns who are called the Sepuite Vive
are still in the old monastery where-
they once reoleved a visit from the
Prince of Wales. These nuns some of
them ladles of noble families observe a.
very strict rule.
Once entering the convent they never
leave it alive. They never see men not
veu the priest who says moss in the
chapel. The alter is screened off and they
can just see tne elevation ol the Host.
Through a small aperture they roceive
holly communion. Iron gratings and
a linen veil guard the small opening
through which they make confessions.
They never undress for repose but
ipend half the night in prayer and
keep except in extreme oases of ill-.
ness a perpetual abstinence from
meat. They make almost every thing
tuey use even to shoes and medicines.
If a parent of one of these nuns dies
the announcement is not made to the
nun herself but In general terms it is
said that one of them has lost by death
a lather or a mother as the case may;

The Lawyer and the Cashier.
A bank cashier who had stolen $50-
000 from the bank skipped mt to Cin

"How can I fix matters so as to be
safe from the lawP"

No less an authority than Buffon de-
clares that a female chimpanzee who
went out to service at Loango made
the beds swept the house and so far
assisted in the oooking as to turn the

panzee on board a French man-of-war

In China monkeys help in the tea-
picking and Lord Monboddo used
gravely to contend that apesoould talk
readily euougli but that tWi- tipeiiui
cunning told them to bold their ton-
gues lest they should be put to hard
work.
A Mother's Wisdom.
"Fish again." petulantly exclaimed
a young lady at the table. "I declare
mother you are determined to give us
girls a surfeit of it"
"Those are my sentiments exactly"
remarked the eldest sister. "Mother
entertains an idea that out" brains need
cultivating and as fish is said to be
good for the brain .she is anxious to
promote its healthy growth."
"It is not for that purpose" replied
the old lady. "It Js not given you as a
brain food not at all.""
