Iu a Chinese family th birth of a child Is a greater event than with other orientals. Long before the child Is born the mother performs rite and ceremonies to propitiate the gods that her child may be a boy. Aftei birth the little fellovr Is wrapped Id old rags and In winter is sometimes put in a bag of sand sewed close around its neck to keep the little on warm. Great rejoicing follows the birth if the child Is a boy; otherwise there is an air of chastened disap pointment But good Chinese parent make the best of their little lassies, becoming very fond and even proud of them. I have known more than one Chinese father to eshibit his toddling wee girl for approval, though always with the customary national verbal deprecation of what belong to one. Indeed, this evidence of excessive courtesy may be found everywhere In this strange land. It is good form to Tllify what Is mine and laud what li thine.

Many persons who have an interest In archaeology will be surprised to know that all the mummies to be seen In museums have not been taken from faraway tombs in Egypt or other eaut- ern lands. Well preserved mummies nave occasionally been taken from the ruins of the cliff dwellers iu the moun tain canyons of Arizona and in New Mexico and southern California. These mummiia. though very poor specimens of the mummifying art, are coiiHidered great treasures by Fcieiitists, twaiise they give the anthropologist a vague Idea of the strange people who bad the earliest civilization on the American continent. The best of them are al most entirely ignorant of who the Aztecs and Tolrees were, how they looked and lived and why they Lave been so entirely obliterated from the face of the earth. The reason for this ignorance is found In the fact that no satisfactory remains of the dead Aztecs have been found. These people were crematlonlstx, and they probably buried household effects with the dead, leaving little or nothing for the scientist to build a theory upon, j Frequently a party of explorers In the valleys of Arizona will eorne upon seal ed jars of burned bone dust THE SHEFFIELD MARINE ENGINE, gasoline, for fish boat; any speed; best made; right price; in stock; oa exhibition; running in salesroom; also Fairbanks-Morse Stationary Caroline Engines.

Flowerx In the tshtide. It is not unusual to hear a com plaint that one's yard has no huh, and therefore flowers cannot be raised, But there are a large number of flow ers that prefer nhade to sunshine in summer. The begonia is of this clasn. Those who have north walls or fences may have great beauty during the sum mer by setting out the different kinds of begonias. Even the gloxinia, the achlmenes and similar hothouse plants bloom splendidly throughout the (sum mer season when grown on the north Bide of walls. Kepptl'a Recipe For Health. Meeting me in a bitter east wind one day in Piccadilly on bis way to church, Keppel asked how Mr. Gladstone was, I told him he was very ill. "Ah," he Bald, "he is overnursed.
