GLORY SURPASSING SOLOMON'S
CHINESE PENAL PAINS.
Hospitals and. Prisons Alike a Dis
grace to the Celestial Land ;
National Ignorance Governs All the Chi
nese Institutions, and Jfoltlier Decency
'or Humanity Have a Place in the .
Treatment of. Sick or Sinful.
Xondon'i Lord Mayor Is a Oorceous Crea
ture When Arrayed in Ills Robes.
The fountain of municipal honor in
England undoubtedly spring's from
the Guildhall, London, which justly
claims to be accounted the most an
cient of our municipal halls, seeing
that the lord mayors of the last eight
centuries are with justice assumed to
have had prototypes in the Roman
prefect and the Saxon f ortreye or porb
gTave. For a considerable number of
years, says the London Telegraph, the
robes of the lord mayor, the court of
aldermen, and the common councilors
have been settled with-a precision that
none save the most reckless of inno
vators would presume to disturb.
The lord mayor himself has his
"gold" robe for the occasion of the an
nual Guildhall banquet, and for the
times when he proceeds in state either
to the new law courts or to the houses
of parliament. The' aldermen have
their scarlet gowns, the sheriffs their
distinctive and very handsome robes
and chains, while the common coun
cilors rejoice in gowns called "mazar
ines," it being generally understood
that mazarine is a term for a dark blue
color, although, -according to some
lexicographers, mazarine also means
a drinking vessel and an old way of
dressing fortds. Then, again, when
the sovereign comes into the city the
lord mayor is bound to don a robe of
crimson or .purple velvet trimmed with
ermine. At the time of his investi
ture he wears a massive gold chain,
but when he is honored by reelection
at the expiration of his term of office
he wears two chains.
The mace, of silver gilt, surmounted
by a royal crown and the imperial
arms.is carried before the mayor by the
authority of the charter of Edward III.,
while the city possesses no less than
four swords one called the pearl, pre
sented by Queen Bess when she opened
the first royal exchange, and so called
from its being richly set with pearls.
The sword precedes the chief magis
trate on all occasions of rejoicing and
festivity. The sword of state is car
ried before the lord mayor as an em
blem of his sovereignty within the city
proper; the black sword is used on fast
days in Lent and at the death of any
member of the royal family, while the
fourth sword is that placed close to
the lord mayor's chair at the central
criminal court.
RAW OYSTERS.
A Mica Relished i'rcprandial Dish of the
Athenians and Romans.
Raw oysters were eaten at Athens
and Rome as a predrandial whet. The
Romans coated their oysters with
. honey and kept them until they were
slightly putrid. The simple and clumsy
methods of Apieius.the third celebrated
glutton of the name, for preserving
oysters was to wash them in vinegar
and pack them in vessels coated with
pitch. The oy.stcrs thus prepared, says
' the National Grocer, were sent lrom
- Britain to Emperor Trajan when
"in" Parthia woro considered "fresh"
and have been sntlicient to entitle this
man's name to b j handed down through
twenty conturk-s. If he is to be
deemed famous in direct proportion to
the nastinoss of his invention," he
should be fatuous indeed. Brillat Sa-
varin's preprandial whet consisted of
three or four dozen oysters. Sieui
Laderte. whom he used to entertain'
tete-a-tete at dinner, is said to have
complained because he could not get
his till of oysters. Savarin determined
to frive him satisfaction ia this respect.
and let him go to his thirty-second
dozen, when Laperte turned his atten
tion to the dinner with powers unem
barrassed by hia prelude.

S. H. Clifford, p.ew Uassel, Wis., was
troubled with neuralgia and rheumatism
his stomach was disordered, his liver
was affected to an alarming degree, ap
petite fell away, and he was terribly re
duced in flesh and strength. Three bot

years' standing. Used three bottles of
Electric Bitters and eeven oozes of
'Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is
sound and well. John Speaker, Cata

his leg, doctors said he was incurable.
One bottle Electric Bitters and one box
Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him en

The Chinese people are lawabiding.
With those of their own number who
are lawbreakers they have but little
sympathy, and the government has
none at all. I like China. I like the
Chinese. Moreover, I respect them.
But in two details of their national
life they meri unqualified condemna
tion. Their hospitals and their prisons
are unmitigated national disgraces. On
second thoughts, I withdraw the word
unmitigated. The Chinese hospitals
through which I went were almost
everything that hospitals should not
be. But the patients themselves would
most strenuously have resented any im
provements along the line of their own
comfort. The savants of China are held
back by the taut ropes of public opin
ion; they are enchained by the general
ignorance, e are their prototypes every
where else.
The deplorable condition of the
Chinese prisons is justified in the na
tional philosophy. To the Chinese
mind a law is a thing to be obeyed.
A law concerns the millions and con
serves the welfare of millions. It
must be held inviolate by the indi
vidual, be his whim his personal bent
whatever it may. The Chinaman who
disregards any item of the Chinese law
becomes a social leper. Individual ten
dency, moral ill health, inherited traits
they.are taken-into account not at all.
This is cruel? Yes! But it renders
existence possible in the overdensity
of Chinese population, a writer in the
Pall Mall Budget says.
A Chinaman is forgiven nothing be
cause of his ancestry, nor does he suf
fer for that ancestry. From the mo
ment of his birth each Chinaman has
an equal chance with every other
Chinaman. Rank is nowhere more
venerated than in China. Nowhere
does it secure to its possessor more
benefits, more privileges, but it is not
inherited. It is conferred by the em
peror conferred for personal merit or
for personal achievement. No China
man is "noble" except through per
sonal fitness. There are two excep
tions to this rule two only. The di
rect descendants of Confucius have a
rank of their own. It is a high rank.
It is respected. But it gives them no
power of interference with national
affairs. The descendants of an em
peror are never less than royal. But
they have no necessary power. In
brief, then, in China "every man is
erved according to his deserts," and it
is greatly to tne national cream mai
they who do not '" 'scape whipping"
are so very few.
A Chinese prison is called a "cangue.
Its outer door is barred with bamboo,
and is guarded by petty soldiers or
policemen. The "cangue" contains
two rooms and two yards. One room
and one vara are for men. The other
room and yard are for women. The
space set apart for women is very much
smaller than that for men. But the
women's quarters and the men's quar
ters are alike in being entirely devoid
of any provision for personal comfort,
or for personal decency.
Chinese prisoners are by the govern
ment provided with absolutely noth
ing but the space beyond which they
may not pass. If their friends thrust
food to them through the bars of the
prison fence the law does not interpose.
Otherwise the prisoners may starve.
The law does not interpose.
1 used to take food to the Shanghai
prison yards. I was not jeered at. A
Chinese crowd is, I believe, incapable
of jeering at a woman. But I was con
demned for it. . And a high Chinese
official remonstrated with my husband.
I used to buy Chinese food at a cheap
chow-chow shop and when 1 reached
a prison fence hire a coolie to feed the
poor starving wretches. I did not
quite care to feed them myself. And it
was quite impossible for them to feed
themselves. ' No Chines prisoner can
reach his own mouth, -for his neck is
invaribly locked into a board which is
about three feet square. It is very
heavy, and galls the neck. It blisters
or ossifies the shoulders. The "pig
taiT'drags heavily over it,and pulls the
poor enloCked head uncomfortably to
one side. It prevents the hands from
lifting , rice or water to the craving
mouth and from brushing from the
tingling nose one of the myriad insects
that infest the prisons and the prison
yards of China.

The readers of this paper will be mnch
.pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has - been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
'6nly positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional
4reatmeiit. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood

Risky- BniDess.
A Maine farmer who recently visited
Boston tells how he got the better of
the deadly trolley-car: "-I stood," he
says, "rig-ht on the track when one of
them dummed skypole cars came a-buz-
zing along, and I thought I'd just see
if they'd run over me. They hollered
and yelled for me to get off the track,
but I didn't budge an inch, for I had as
much right there as they had, and they
just hauled the thing up . stock-still
afore they got ter me. All a man's got
ter do is to stand tip for his rights, and
them Boston fellers dassn't run over
him." ' .
Mines Under the Sea.
We have all heard about the British
coal and iron mines, the galleries of
which extend far out under the Atlan
tic ocean, but there are perhaps very
few Americans who know that the
most extensive under-ocean mining
operations in the world are carried on
along the Pacific coast of this conti
nent. At Kanaimo, British Columbia.
there is a coal mine the shaft of which
extends several hundred feet below
the ocean bed at that point. All the
galleries of the . mine,; aggregating
something like twelve miles in length.
