FILIAL DUTY.
An Example From the Chinese ef
Good Little) Boy.
In China the "Book of Kllitil Duty"
has Iktu employed to instruct the
yonnjj for the last 2.500 years. In it
nro twenty-four exiinipleii for good
boys. What tliese examples arc like
may he understood from the story of
Wu Meng. example No. UO. Wu Meiitf,
li Ht:i!S, was very obedient to his
parents. One day at the age of elyht
he noticed with pain that the mosqui
toes annoyed his pareuts while they
were trying to sleep, l'resently he hit
uiKtn a plan to rescue them.
Kay the author of this classic: "The
bu 7..I ng of the mosquitoes sounds like
'ylng y In jr. and their united hum is
almost equal to thunder. Ills tired
parents are reclining on their bed,
their coun tenant es already sunk In
slumber. Legions of mosquitoes fierce
ly attack them, alternately retreating
and advancing. The Insects disturb
the dreaming sleepers, and with an
uoynnce they toss from side to side.
"Wu sees them sucking his pareuts'
blood, which causes his heart to
grieve. Ills flesli. he thinks, can be
easily pierced, but that of his pareuts
Is bard to penetrate. Lying on the
bed, he threw oft" his clothes, and soon,
feeling the pain of their attacks, he
cried. 'I have uo dread of you, nor
hnvc you any reason to fear me!
"'Although 1 have n fan, 1 will not
use It, nor will I strike you with my
hand. I will lie very quiet uud let
you gorge to the full."
Thus did the parents of Wu Mcng
get a chance to sleep In pence.
COLOMBIAN ETIQUETTE.
Daily Handshaking and Greeting Con
sume a Lot of Time.
It was the third or fourth day out
from Santa Marta, Colombia, and early
In the morning when one of the South
American passengers came on deck.
Another South. American arose from
his deck chair, extended his hand nnd
as the men shook hands inquired after
the health of the newcomer, his wife
and his children.
As theyv had parted company only
about eight hours before In the smok
ing room, this seemed like unnecessary
courtesy. The observer noticed that
this happened In the case of all the
j Colombians on board, so he asked one
man about It.
j "It Is a custom of the country," said
he. "On the occasion of meeting a per
; sou for the first time each day It Is
; etiquette to slinke hands and to make
! Inquiries about the health of (he per
J son so greeted and of his relatives. It
! would not be considered polite to do
j otherwise.".,,
j Conliuiiin-'. this man told of taking
i a walk one day In Bogola with a nier-
chant of the place. They were bent
I on business and were to cover a dis
! tance that might be nnutc rather easily
; In ten minutes, liecause of the neees
; sary stops to make the customary In-
qiiirlesaud to shake hands with friends

TUNING A PIANO.
A Professional's Experience With Irrl- ;
table Von Bulow.
"Piano tuners are for the most port ,
graduated from piano factories." saye !
one of them. "While the piano tuner !
Is required to know every part in the j
makeup of a piano, be is not neces- t
sarily a piano repulrer. Nor can the j
average piano maker or repairer tune '
a plnno. There are hundreds of expert '
makers and repairers or pianos wno
wouldn't be able to tell one tune from
another.
"The piano tuner Is born, not made.
His acute sense of the vibrations of
sound Is given to him at his blrtb. nnd
tbo muu who hasn't got this sense
can't become a piano tuner.
"Quite a number of years ago, when
Hans von I'.ulow was In America. 1
tuned the piano upon which he played.
He wouldn't allow the Instrument to
be tuned in the ware room, one of bis
whims being that even a short removal
of a piano knocks it all out of tune
something In that theory nt that. So
I tuned It upon the platform upon
which be was to perform, lie stood
over me all the time, letting out ago
nized whoops and German cuss words
until I couldn't help but laugh In his
face.
"Finally, when I had the piano al
most tuned, he gave a few more
shrieks and. grabbing the wrench, be
gan doing the job all over again. I
let him go ahead, and Inside of three
minutes he had the piano so hopelessly
out of tmie that It took rite three hours
to get It Into shape again. Herr von
Billow had to pay double for this little
exhibition of temper."-Spokane Sports

How Dickens Learned to Write.
When asked by one of those wise
acres who nre convinced that tn order
to write good English a man must be
taught to write bad Latin where his
son was educated, Mr. John Dickens
replied with considerable aplomb that
bis son er well, his sou er might be
almost wild, lo a sense, to have edu
cated himself. The street, the ware
house. Mr. 'reakle. an attorney's of-
! flee, the reporters' gallery and post-
chaise such was the education that
! equipped a young man of twenty-four
to preside nt the banquet of literature
at an unprecedented age. to make the
best speeches In London, to go Into
the best society, to set the tnble In a
ronr. to lend every company In which
he mixed, to travel, acquire Trench
and Itallim with ease and write the
most animated letters known to the
modern world. London Times.
Crusty Old Gentleman.

child."
