The Chines Tanner (jives uie Im pression of n man whose life has Ikhmi speut In downright hard work. There is not a slnalo ounce of spare flesh upon him. Ills face und hands are of dark brown color, tnuiiwl luto them by exposure to the fiery faced sun of the orient ami to the open air Influence amid which IiLs dally life In spent. Ills hands, unless he Is still young, are gnarled nnd twisted out of shape by the constant grasping of his hoe, the one Implement that to the Chinese firmer takes the place of the spade, only in a more extensive degree. lie never stands erect. He bends a little forward, having a slight list to the left This is due to his havinjr to do all his own carrying work. The ma nure to fertilize bis fields and the wa ter to Irrigate them when the rains are Insufficient are both borne on the left shoulder of the sturdy farmer, and when the ripened crops are housed and the surplus Is to be disposed of in the city miles away It Is the same mode of conveyance that has again to be em ployed. Railroads and carts und wag ons and beasts of burden are luxuries that are still beyond the reach of the fanners of this laud. The whole look of the man is that of a worker, and the very pose that his body has taken is but an attempt to ease the strain that severe labor is constantly putting on it. Unfortunate ly his dress does not add to his per sonal appearance. It consists of a loose coat, buttoned by a 'flap on one side and reaching to a little below the hips. The trousers are loose and bag gy and extend to the knees. These and his usual clothing are made of cotton cloth, which is dyed with the universal blue that seems to have such a fascination for the working classes. As the weather grows colder others of the same kind and, where the purse will allow of it, wadded garments are added, but the legs and the feet even in the coldest weather remain uncov ered excepting on very special occa sions when etiquette demands that both shoes and stockings shall lie worn. The Chinese farmer further adds to his far from prepossessing appearance by his utter neglect of all habits of neatness. Ills head Is shaved only at considerable intervals of time, and so the place that among the residents of the towns is clear shaved Is covered with a thick bristly undergrowth of black hair that has a most untidy and slovenly look. Ills pigtail, Instead of being plaited and combed smoothly, Is allowed to grow at Its own sweet will, and, following the instincts of nature that longs for freedom, it sends out straggling tufts here and there and so gives the wearer an unkempt and dis orderly aspect John McOowan lu North China News.

The captain, seeing a rival boat half a mile ahead, ordered tar, pine knots, naval stores, bacon,' etc., to be thrown In to kindle the Are as hot as possible. As the steam got higher and higher and the old boat trembled and groaned under the pres sure the preacher drew nearer and nearer to the stern. Noticing this and never losing an opportunity to crack a Joke, the bluff captain tapped the fa talist on the shoulder and said: "Hello, Brother Blank! What's ail ing you?
