About a doien miles bom Philadel
phia, on the main line of the Pennsylva
nia railroad, is the wonderful town of
Wayne. The wonderful town of Wayne
b a product of the philanthropy of
George W. Childs, who, together with
Anthony J. Drexel, planned to bring it
into existence for the benefit of such PhO-
adelphians as yearned fornioresubnrban
life than was anorded by theshady thor-
ougniarvs aud placid highways of their
native city, and as Mr. Childs and Air.
Drexel had unlimited capital with which
to carry out the plan for an ideal sub
urban settlement Wayne was founded
on the firmest of foundations and has
flourished in a manner calculated to
cause the proverbial bay tree to wither
with envy.
The inhabitants of Wayne number
several thousand and are all inordinate
ly proud of being Wayneites, They are
proud with the pride which Hushes the
obsequious bead salesman of the suspen
der department when the firm recognizes
his worth and promotes him to the dizzy
atutuae or second floorwalker in chief,
and their pride is a thorn m the sides of sou, of the second rank, through misfor
all the rmrrounding settlements and leas i tone or political vicissitudes, will hold
ostentatious suburban stations. Host of j an office of the fifth or sixth rank. In such
tbein that is.mostof the males are war-1 a case he would still wear his red button,

with wives and rapidly accumulating
olive branches, and if they are not war-1
thy clerks they are worthy in some other
line, for cone but worthy persons have
ever found a foothold in Wayne, and the
biatbof swuidal hug never smirched the
fk'Jiiih of its puritv. Their wives are as
i; 3:t. of liu? quiet middle class Phila-dc-tufiiu
woiu-jn and girls as they them

masculine heir.2.
Piivyica'ily r-arued, Wayne is as fair
ti? look upon as it is from a moral stand
"i:!it. It is an exposition of theessenceof
.in Aline in architecture, teniered
with the colonial and the other popular
fcL-nis of rural residence design which
lane in the last decade run riot through
out lue length and breadth of the land.
Tnere are dark red honses and bright
red ones, there are those which are red
and green, and pink and green, and ca
nary and green, and there areorangeand
wime ones, and there are pearl colored
types with dove tinted trimmings. And
there are just as many unconventional
designs in ahupe as there are in color,
and altogether the wonderful tows of
Wayne is a most satisfying spectacle to
any one who seeketh the beautiful, the
oitd or the abnormally hideous in inex
pensive but conspicuous dwellings.
Karnraliy such a settlement is above'
reproach in its government. It has
broad roads, perfectly laid, fine, liroad
sidewalks, a waterworks and splendid
drainage, all of which were provided by
Messrs. Childs and Drexel, aud it has a
president and council, a fire engine
equipment, an athletic club and ground
for both sexes, a debating society, a
series of winter dances, a sewing circle
a whist club and a lot of other snchat
uactions provided by the residents them
selves, and all these thin are managed
witnout a hitch or a jar, and peace
reigns supreme from Jan. 1 in any given
year until the hour of midnight on the
following 81st of December.
Wayue has no stores of any kind, and
of comet a saloon is as foreign to its
confines as a snowstorm would be in an
equatorial jungle. On the other side of
me railroad there is also a Wayne
an old fashioned Bevolutionary times
Wayne named after the American gen
eral who was known as Mad Anthony
Wayne, and there may be found shops
and stores and saloons aud business
offices, but in the new and beautiful
Wayne such things are unknown and
must ever be unknown unless the laws
of its organization be ruthlessly shatter

dicates high rank. 1'he rank in general
is personal rather than officiaL Thus,
for example, a taotatahip is an office of
the third rank, and its button is a light,
oleai blue. Yet many taotatis, if not a
majority of the class, are decorated with
red buttons. It even happens that a par-

often very difficult to tell the official
rank of mandarins by their buttons.

broidered insignia npon the wearing ap
parel. 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 state
ment of the owner's rank, degree and
position. tacD a card in Jinglish might
read, 'sniitn, naronet, judge of session,
Devon.' Another consists of having the
same facts painted upon the lanterns
with whicn all chairs are nrovided.

Doaras, wmcn are earned try coolies.
Mandarins who have received many hon
ors will frequently have as many as 20
of these red boards. Where an official
has retired from service he is still en
titled to place these boards at the en
trance of his residence. A fourth mode
resembles the preceding and applies to
junks or vessels in which a mandarin
travels. The characters are written
npon flags, which are fastened to the
mast and elsewhere in lieu of ordinary
bunting. When the present governor
of Formosa left Shanghai on the steamer
Smith, no leas than 30 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 npon the front
and back of official robes. They must
be of the finest workmanship and so well
executed as to show the design clearly
and accurately. The general design for
a civil officer is a bird, and for a mili
tary official a quadruped animal. The
civil list is as follows, ranks and not de
grees being discriminated:
"Fint-A Afaatclioorian crane. Second A
golden pneaiaut. Third A peacock. Fourth
A wild gooee. Fifth A allver pheasint.
Sixth A young egret. Sfiyentb A qnaiL
Eighth A long tailed jay. Kinth An oriole.
"The military list runs:
"First A unicorn. 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 rhinoceros.
"These insignias have been used from
time immemorial, while the buttons are
a creation of the Mantchoo conquerors of
China. It is a singular fact that both
the lion and the 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 acquired long before the
Christian era, when large fleets of junks,
naval, pirate or commercial, went from
Canton to nearly every port is Hindoo-
TRAPP.NQ AN AUDIENCE.
How am Beeeatrle Lecturer Got Hts Maa
ad Than Fouaded Them.
Some yf an ago an eccentric genius,
the Bev. 'ihotnas P. Hunt, used to give
tempera ,w lectoree. One night he an
nouncer', that he would leoture at a cer
tain Pr .nneylvania town. Now, temper
ance v ms not in favor among the male
portion of that burg.
Tt ,e women, however, were all for the
"prjdge," and consequently on Hunt's
&ri 4 visit not a man showed himself.
5f oe benches were pretty well filled with
T fomen, though, and Hunt commenced.
But instead of temperance he took them
to task about the vanities of dress, etc.
They wore great stuffed feather sleeves
then. They the sleeves canght it, then
the tight lacings, and so on through the
whole catalogue of female follies, but no
word about intemperance.
The ladies went home nearly mad, told
their husbands about it and voted old
Hunt a regular humbug. He announced
he would lecture at the same place the
next night. Long before the time ap
pointed the people began to arrive, and
when Hunt hobbled down the aisle the
building was completely filled with men.
The old fellow looked abont, chuckled
and said in a low voice, "Hogs, I've got
you now!"
The audience Btared.
"Aha, hop, I've got you now!" he re
peated. After the crowd had got quiet a little
the lecturer said:
"Friends, you wanted to know wh.itl
meant by saying, 'Hogs, I've got you
now!" and Til tell yon. Out west "the
hogs run wild, and Mrhon folks get out
of meat they catch a young pis, put a
strap under his body and hitch him to a
young sapling that will just swing him
from the ground nicely. Of course he
squeals and raises a rumpus, when all
the old hogs gather around to see what
is the matter, and then they shoot them
at their leisure. Last night I hung a pig
up. I hurt it a little, and it squealed.
The old hogs have turned out tonight tc
see the fun, and Til roast you."
And so he did, pitching into their
favorite vice with much evident relish
and gusto. American Home Life.
Talaiagv Was Thankful,
The following is told by Boniface Uf
"Witt of the Biggs House:
"Dr. Talmage was preaching at Belle
ville, N. J., some years ago, and oik
week he made np his mind to go into the
pulpit the next Sunday without notes or
memoranda of what he was going to sav.
He memorized his sermon and believed
he had it completely at his tongue's end.
So Sunday night he went to the church
pretty well fortified with confidence.
"In those days in that section of Jer
sey churches and hotels and many pri
vate residences were equipped with pri
vate gas machines, and the church where
Talmage was to hold forth had one too.
When he got into the pulpit after con
ducting the preliminary services all
right, he gave out his text Then he was
horrified to find that he couldn't think of
a thing to say. He repeated the text a
second time, and yet his ideas failed to
He was m agony and beran
slowly and impressively to announce his
text a third time. As he reached the
last word and the perspiration of dread
and shame was beginning to start, the
gas went out and plunged the place into
utter darkness. There was no other
means for lighting the edifice, and when
it was announced that the gas machine
had broken down hopelessly Dr. Tal
mage pronounced the benediction, and I
have heard him say that he never did sc
before or since with' greater fervor or
thankfulness of spirit." Washington
Post.
Certain Analogic.
Molting has its analogy throughout
the animal kingdom. We indeed molt
invisibly, are continuously shedding our
scales, but there are some animals that
get through this process even more quick
ly than do birds as, for instance, the
shedding of the skin as a whole by the
newt, eft arid snake.
Sir James Paget has noted that some
people have a few extra long hairs grow
ing out from the general mass of the
eyebrows. The few long liaira are repre
sentatives oi a permanent condition in
tbechimpanzee aud some baboons. They
grow out separately from the general
hairy mass over the superciliary ridges.
Darwin notes as a significant fact that
the palms of the hands and the soles of
the feet of man are quite naked of hairs,
Jike the inferior surf aces of all four ex
tremities in most of the lower animals.
Something about the ear: The lobule
of the ear is peculiar to man. There is,
however, a rudiment of it in the gorilla.
Happy gorilla and man!
About the brain of man and apes: The
whole comparison is one of degree, and
is the case of the bnshman's brain with
that of a well developed ape the com
parison becomes nearly equal. In truth,
there are no specific distinctions between
the brain of the ape and that of man.
