POBTLAND, OBEOON,
CHINESt DINiWo-OUT GIRLS.
They Are Employed to Amuse Mem at
Dinner.
When, for instance, a Chinese jrentle
man intends (fiving; a dinner to three
friends he will arrange for it to be pro
vided on a flower boat at a certain
hour, and also for the company of eight
dining-out girls two for each gentle
man, says a writer in Century. I
call them dining-out girls, as it best de
scribes to me their calling. They will
come prettily dressed, their hair done
up in most wonderful shapes and
brushed over with a sort of varnish
which makes it appear like a fantastic
head-dress, carved in ebony. They will
ornament this structure with bright
flowers, though the wreaths will be as
stiff as their hair; or they will some
times add jade, gold or feather-inlaid
ornaments. Their faces will be painted
in white and pink very artistically
painted, smooth and soft-looking, de
licately traced; sharp black crescents
will mark their eyebrows. Dainty, de
mure dolls they will appear and pretty
to look upon; but seemingly one touch
would destroy their artistic effects, as a
rough hand the radiance of a butter'
fly's wing.
Two of these young ladies will at
tend to each gentleman, sitting slightly
back from the table at each side of the
entertained. They will fill his liquor
cups, sip from them and pass them on:
pick out dainty pieces of "chow" (food)
with chopsticks and hand them to him:
crack jokes, fill and light his pipe and
all the while chat gayly and eat dried
watermelon seeds. That is all I ever
saw them eat. Behind each group ol
three a solemn-looking coolie, or waiter,
will stand to fan them all the while,
Other waiters bring in food, wine and
tea, change the dishes and attend to
their wants. The meal will last for
long time. Eventually all will rise and
retire to an outer room furnished with
broad couches covered with matting,
Opium pipes will be there for those
who care for them and tobacco and
cigars in plenty. The girls will sic on
the couches, laugh, fill the pipes and
still cat watermelon seeds, while the
gentlemen will recline at their ease, en
joying their society.

Sealed In the Walls of Parliament
Opened Every Twenty Years.
The originals of our yard measure
and pound weight otherwise, the
British standard weights and meas
ures are scaled or walled up in the
sides of tho house of parliament at Lon
don. The cavity in tho wall in whiehl
these precious standards arn nrnnPryed
Nome what resembles a tomb and can be
opened only by tearing away the wall.
Tho two articles which are therein so
safely cased are both of metal. The
yard measure is of bronze, in the shape
of a bar, thirty-eight inches in length,
thirty-tiix sections, or one yard, having
been marked off upon it with some
finely scaled instrument. The weight
standard is a cube of platinum, weigh
ing exactly sixteen ounces. Weighty
as it is it is scarcely more than an inch
in extent on cither side, and, if sold for
the metal there is in it, would bring
nearly two hundred dollars.
Once every twenty years tho walls
inclosing these standards are torn
away for the purpose of removing the
two pieces of metal and comaring their
length and weight with the ofllciul
standards in use by the bureaus of
weights and measures. These com

A Horrible I'baa of Just Ire Anions the

In Ireeember, v, I was in Canton.
One afternoon I vUlted the principal

In demeanor. The prealiling mandarin

more completely reoognized as earl of
Argyll; and we are not sure that the
dukedom has not impeded one or twe
promising politicians in the house of
lords. Certainly a duke rarely rises
there, unless he becomes known to the
country before the title crushed him.
Is it that the rank overpowers the pop
ular imagination till men cease to see
the person a thing which constantly
happens in the case of kings or is it
that men can never forget the special
rank by merging it into the simpler
and more familiar title of "lord?" No
peer except a duke is invariably men
tioned by the title which marks his
grade. We have no idea of the true
explanation, but we know that a po
litical earl who accepted a dukedom
would lose heavily in popular estima
tion, and that even a marquis, like
Lord Salisbury, who would alter his
rank so little, would find that the cor
onet of strawberry leaves acted, to a I
certain extent, as an extinguisher,
while if his son never entered the!
house of commons he would have to I
struggle against some inexplicable
weight- The fact is one of the very
oddest in the whole of the odd history
of the influence of rank, but of its
reality we entertain no doubt whatever.
To say "that is a ducal opinion," is to
say that it is an opinion that no one in
our days need consider.
