Hospitals and Prisons Alike a Dis grace to the Celestial Land National Ignorance Govern All the Chi nese Institutions, and Neither Deoeney Nor Humanity Have a Place In the J Treatment of Sick or Sinful. t 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. Hut 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 ttut ropes of public opin ion; they are enchained by the general ignorance, as 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? YesI 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. Bank 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 perorconferred 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 served according to his deserts," and it is greatly to the national credit that 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 yard are tor 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 arc 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 I 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 Chinese 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 tail"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. PARIS FASHION BITS. Tablieks, tunics and overskirts area foregone conclusion. Braiding is again in high favor on skirts, redingotes, capes, sleeves, coats and bodices. New velvet Spanish and zouave jackets are finished with ruchings of cream-colored guipure. Frknch designers use red and green shot velvet to trim brown bengaline, cheviot and Scotch tweed gowns. Red serge, camel's hair or sacking dresses are combined with black wa tered silk and trimmed with many rows of very narrow jet gimp. Geranium red bengaline for vests on black gowns is a fashionable freak that will have a cheerful effect when the cheerless days of winter set in. Granite and armure weaves in two colors, but not changeable, are among the late importations. They are in cheviot finish and are exceedingly soft and pliable. Leather shades, gold, yellows, rus sets, light olives and sapphire, swal low, peacock and drakes' neck blue are among the most fashionable colors of the season. Ctclonb.

It is a common thing in Europe for kings and queens to reward such of their subjects as may become famous in war, in politic:, or in literature, by bestowing titles upon them. Occason ally, however, says the Golden Days, this honor is refused, but the instances are so rare that when they do occur they are always thought worthy of mention. After the late Germanemperor, Fred erick III., had begun his brief reign, he determined to raise some leading representatives of industry and com merce to the peerage. Herr Krupp, the inventor of the Krupp cannon, at whose manufactory eighteen thousand men are regulary employed, had died a short time be fore, but his son had succeeded to his business, and the young man's name was placed by the emperor upon the role of honor. When he heard of this, he at once took train to Berlin and secured an audience of Prince Bismarck, who was then chancellor. He insisted that the prince should ask the emperor to strike his name from the list, but this Bis marck refused to do. Then the iron master made a special plea. "My father," said he, "gloried in be ing the son of a workman, and never would so much as listen to a proposal to accept titular and hereditary dis tinction. I cannot be untrue to his principles, particularly when my year of mourning has not yet expired." Bismarck thought this plea might be urged upon the emperor, without wounding his feelings, and he prom ised to put it before him that day. Frederick was really dying then, and could not speak on account of the disease in his throat. When Bismarck told him what Krupp had said, he looked surprised and vexed. Then he seemed to see the matter in a new light, nodded assent and wrote on his tablets: "I dare say Krupp is right; he has my best wishes." That night Herr Krupp was told that he was at liberty to remain Herr Krupp. MEXICAN VILLAGE LIFE. The Government of the Larger Haciendas of the South. A great cotton hacienda in Mexico is strongly built, with walls like those of a fort; the tops of the walls are often studded thickly with broken glass of a jagged and deadly appearance; for further protection, companies of sol diers are kept within the establish ment. A hacienda of this type, whether de voted to the manufacture of sugar or cotton, the raising of cattle, or mining of silver, is a complete little state, with every appliance for luxury and security. It contains within its walls hundreds of peons, soldiers, barracks, a chapel, houses for the laborers, apartments for the owner and his fam ily, and every necessary of life for man and beast. The administrador, or general man ager, is the father of the great family; he decides all disputes arising between the various members of U, and if he is only ordinarily just, never finds his authority disputed, but is looked up to witn much respect and consulted by the peons in all family matters.

The tortoise is not an animal one would naturally fix upon as likely to be afraid of rain, but it is singularly so. Twenty-four hours or more before rain falls the (iallapagos tortoise makes for some convenient shelter. On a bright clear morning when not a cloud is to be seen the denizens of a tortoise farm on the African coast may be seen sometimes heading for the nearest overhanging rocks; when that happens the proprietor knows that rain will come down during the day, and as a rule it comes down in torrents. The sign never fails. This pre-sensation, to coin a word, which exists in many birds and beasts may be explained partly from the increasing weight of the atmosphere when rain is forming, partly by habits of living and partly from the need of moisture which is shared by all. The American cat bird gives warning of an approaching thun derstorm by sitting on the low branches of the dogwood tree (whether this union of the feline with the canine is invariable the deponent sayeth not) and uttering curious notes. Other birds, including the familiar robin, it is said, give similar evidence of an im pending change in the weather. A mix of potatoes that yielded forty three pounds.
