CHINESE OFFICIAL INSIGNIA.
T' ' T :
Quaint Heraldic Emblems of Oivio
. and Military Designs. ,
Buttons Worn Among ' the- Celestials
Which Indicate Descent from fam
ilies or High Bank-Fig- . .
ores Used as Symbols.
Nothing- is more complicated than
Chinese etiquette,, said Dr. Edward
Bedloe, ex-consul to Amoy, to a
WasMng-ton Post reporter. A master
of Debrett and Burke is a novice be
side a Celestial master of ceremonies.
Nevertheless, the latter's system is defi
nite if elaborate, and he has many
official' landmarks whereby to shape
his course. One of the most important
of these is the button which is worn by
every mandarin era the top of his hat.
Each of the nine ranks of Chinese has
its particular button . and the second
degree of the first and second ranks are
also marked by separate buttons The
official list is as follows:
First rank First degree, light coral
red button; second degree, deep coral
red button. Second rank First de
gree, light crimson button f second de
gree, dark crimson button. Third
rank Both, light clear .blue. Fourth
rank Dark Prussian blue. Fifth
Quartz, glass or. crystal. Sixth
Opaque white. . Seventh and eighth
Gilded, yellow or- gold. Ninth Sil
ver or silver-white. .
It will be seen that a red button in
dicates high rank. The' rank in gen
eral is personal rather than official.
Thus, for example,, a taotarship is an
office of the. third rank, and its button
is a light,. clear "blue. Yet many tao
tatis, if not a majority of the class,
are decorated with red buttons. It
even happens that a person of the sec
ond rank, through misfortune or polit
ical vicissitudes, will hold an office of
the fifth or sixth rank. In such a case
he would still wear his red button, and
in many official events would be . pre
ceded by. an official of a dark blue or
crystal button. For this reason it ' is
often very . difficult to tell the official
rank of mandarins by their buttons.
Nor-is the difficulty lessened by the
embroidered insignia upon the wear
ing apparel. This is' more elaborate
than the buttons, but, like the latter,
does not discriminate -between rank
and position. '
To overcome , the difficulty the Chi
nese resort to several expedients. One
is the card on which is written a full
statement of the owner's rank, degree
and position. Another consists of hav
ing the same facts painted upon the
lanterns with which all chairs are pro
vided. These -can be read with equal
ease day or night. ' The third is used
for the information of the' public and
consists in- having the name and al
titles carved in large, bold characters
on long- red boards, which are carried
by coolies. Mandarins who have received-many
honors will frequently
have as many as twenty of these red
boards. "Where -an official has retired
from service He is still entitled to
place these boards at the entrance of
his residence.. A fourth mode resem
bles ; the ; preceding and applies to
junks or vessels in which a mandarin
travels; ' The characters are written
upon flags, which are -fastened to the
mast and elsewhere in lieu of ordinary
bunting. When the present governor
of Formosa left Shanghai on the steam
er Smith no less than thirty, banners
of this class were flung to the breeze
from the -masts and other parts of .the
boat. ' The embroidered insignias of
rank and position are placed upon the
front and back of official robes. They
must be of the finest workmanship and
eo well executed as to show the design
clearly and accurately. The general
design for a civil offieer is a bird and
for a military official a quadruped an
imal. ' The civil list is as follows,
ranks and not degrees being discrim
inated: First, a manchurian crane; second
a golden pheasant; third, a peacock;
fourth, a wild goose; fifth, a silver
pheasant; - sixth, a . young egret;
seventh, a quail; eighth, a long-tailed
jay; ninth, an oriole. . - 1
The military list runs: First, a uni
corn; second, a lion; third, a leopard;
fourth, a tiger; fifth, a- black bear;
sixth, a tiger cat; seventh, a mottled
bear; eighth, a seal; ninth, a rhinoc
eros.. .
- These insignias have been used from
time immemorial, while the buttons
are a creation of the Manchu con
querors of China. It is a singular fact
that both the lion and rhinoceros are
strangers to the latter country. The
limit of their habitat seems to be the
Ganges and to have been so since the
tertiary period. ., The knowledge of
these animals by the Chinese was ac
quired' long before the Christian era,
when large fleets of junks, naval,
pirate r commercial, went from Can
ton to nearly every port in Hindoostan
and often - brought back . these- and
other wild beasts alive. Of late years
etiquette has relaxed considerably in
regard to both buttons and insignia.
He JEtuined the Cosiness. .
- American temperance agitators would
not enjoy themselves in Austria. A
native of a small village, after a long
cataleptic trance, a year ago; declared
that he had been to Heaven and had
been commissioned by. 'the Almighty
to return and teach the peasants the
wickedness of drinking spirits. Soon
the entire village took an oath of total
. abstinence. The district governor com
mitted the man to the madhouse, where
the doctors kept . him for six months
and then declared him sane. He re
sumed his agitation and in a short
time seven villages had taken vows of
abstinence. The result was that anum
ber of liquor dealers to whom the gov
ernment had granted licenses refused
to keep their contracts. The district
judge gave orders that the. dangerous
agitater be arrested if caught preach
ing abstinence. . . .
It is all well enough to say that
thirteen is an unlucky number. ' But.
this country started in business with
thirteen states,-and seems to be hold
ing" her own. - . " '
FLYING MACHINES.
Among Other Things They Would Open
Up Vast Tracts of 'Land to Usefulness.
Samuel Cabot, ' a manufacturing
chemist of Boston, is interested in fly
ing machines. At present he s trying
to discover the best form of aerial
screw one which will give, the great
est push with ' the least amount of
power.. In an interview with a re
porter of the Boston Traveler, he' said
"Two questions have been frequently
asked, which perhaps it will be worth
while to answer now, and as part of
my reply will be in the form of a
prophecy, this 'credo' may be . worth
the trouble of preservation to compare
with the developments of the future.
What important service can flight in
air serve? Maxim, Langley and all
who have studied the subject thor
oughly agree that the speed of aeria-
tion will greatly exceed that of any
terrestial locomotion. From this fol
lows an entire economic change in the
direction of rendering immense tracts
of comparatively worthless territory
at distances of twenty to forty miles
from cities much more ." available
There 'would also result .the relegating
of city property "in large measure to
business and storage purposes. This
would to a large extent' accomplish
what Henry George sighs for, but
would do it by means which do not in
volve any wrong to the land owner by
the wage earner. vv ith flying navies,
capable of carrying unseen at . night
large - quantities of explosives to the
center of a city, war would become so
destructive that it would. be soon sup
planted by arbitration as a matter- of
common sense and self-preservation.
"Arbitration once established, an in
ternational police system, controlling
nations as we do' individuals, and en
forcing the decrees of boards of arbi
tration, would be enormously assisted
by this power of rapid and, if neces
sary, destructive patrolling. Immense
areas of country, now well .nigh ira
penetrable, would be oped to' useful
ness. Large sources of wealth - wotld
thus be added to the civilized world,
and would result in the amelioration
of the condition of the savages of such
regions as central Africa. We should
have to give up selfish legislation and
restriction upon the commerce of other
nations, and be obliged perforce to
'stand on a broader heritage than that
of nation or of zone. .
Ten days loss of time on' account of
sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any
thing but pleasant for a man of a family
to contemplate, whether he is a laborer,
mechanic,, merchant or publisher. Jas.
O. Jones, -publisher . of the Leader,
Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten
days with the grip during its prevalence
a year or two ago. Later in the season
he had a second attack. " He says : "In
the latter case I used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy with considersible sac-
cess, I think, only being in bed. a little
over two days. The second attack I am
satisfied would have been equally as bad
j-ns the first but for the use of the remedy
I It should be borne in mind that the grip
is much the same as a very severe cold
and requires precisely the same treat
ment. When you wish to cure a cold
quickly and effectually give this remedy
a trial. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale

Aeronauts cannot rise much above

SIOUX FAMILY LIFfc.
Quarrels and Punishments Are Very Rare
i Among Relatives.
A writer in Outing gives an amusing
account of "Sketching' Among ' the
Sioux." He says that the kindness and
patience of these ' people in their do
mestic relations are very noticeable.
The women have certain duties to per
form, as among other races;, but the '
men do not disdain to help them on oc
casions any more -than does a white
man of good disposition. '
We' never saw, during our whole resi
dence in' the Sioux village, a. single
family quarrel, and the children were
rarely, if ever, punished. . ,
One example to illustrate this char
acteristic pleased and amused us not
at .little. One day Flymg-by's wife
came to our tent and asked us to lend
lief a small "hand-mirror which' we pos
sessed.. ' AVe gave it to her, and then
watched her to see what she would do
with it. About a mile and a half or
two miles away a horse race, was in
progress, watched by three or four hun
dred mounted Indians.
The squaw took the mirror, stood in
front of the tent, and reflected a beam
of sunlight from the glass along the
ground in line with the group, of In
dians. ''
It was only two' or three minutes be
fore a solitary horseman left the band
and came, tearing over the prairie
toward us. It was- llying-by, who
sprang off his horse at our- door and
looked inquiringly around, nis wife had.
gone back to her cooking, and was ap
parently quite heedless of his coming.
To his question whether some one
lrad not sent for him, we could only re
ply that we had seen his wife playing
heliostat with our mirror, whereupon
he went over and spoke to her.
In a moment he returned, and with a
grin told us that, knowing he had
money, his wife had called him home
for fear he might be tempted to gam
ble it away. . He chuckled over, her
prudence, and told us that he might
have made a .lot of money if he ; had
stayed; and not a cross word was
spoken.
Mrs. Emily Thome, who resides at
Toledo, Washington, says she has never
been able to procure any medicine for
rheumatism that relieves the pain . so
quickly and effectually as Chamberlain's
Fain Balm and that she has also used it
for lame back with great success. For
