Chinese is a queer language. All its words are only one syllable long. But the Sounds in the Chinese language are not very many, some 465 at most, and their written language contains about 8,000 pictures, each representing a thing or idea. And these pictures must be committed to Qigmory. This is hard work, and noteven the wisest Chinese professor can learn them all. But now comes a difficulty. Fqr, of course, where there are so many words and so few sor.nds, many different words have to be called by the same sound. How then are they to tell, when «vferal different tilings have exactly the same name, which of them is meant? We have such words. For instance, there is Bill, tbe name of a boy; and bill, tlj> beak of a bird; there is bill, an old weapon, and bill, a piece of money; there is bill, an article over which legislatures debate, and bill, a claim for a payment of money; besides bills of exchange, bills of lading, and so forth. But Chinese is full of such morris of a single syllable, yen, for instance, which, like bill, means many very different things. So they choose a number of little pictures, and agree that these shall l»e used as “keys.” Each “key” means that the sign or signs near which it stood belonged to some large, general set of things, like the things of the vegetable mineral, or animal kingdom, forests, mines; or seas, air, or water, or persons, like gods or men. It was like the game called throwing light, in which you guess the article by narrowing down the field until certain w hat it is. But there Chinese writing stopped short, thousands of years ago. There it is to-day. There are now 214 of these “keys” and, by intense application, Chinamen learn to use their method with surpisingquickness and success.—St. Nicholas. THE DRUMMER DID IT.

It. is no mark of a delicate fine lady ism for a lady’ to scream or faint or go into hysterics at some sudden happening. The physical condition may be such, it is true, as to render perfect control over the nerves an impossi­ bility, but these exhibitions could be pre­ vented in a majority of cases. Temperament may alsoftiave much to do with the matter, but those persons who know themselves to be possessed of an organization that is easily disturbed should set resolutely at work to gain control of it, instead of nursing it into greater weakness by indulgence. I remem­ ber hearing a physician say’ of a patient who was given to falling into agonizing hysterics at the slightest provocation, that she was cured by being left to lie upon the floor where she had thrown herself, and allowed to scream, and tumble, and faint ad libitum. Heroic treatment, it is true, is not always feasible, but in this case it was effectual. I do not want it to be understood as hav­ ing no sympathy with hysterical people, for they are often terrible sufferers, and their situation is the result of an overstrained body, but I do mean to say’ that persons who are ordinarily well should struggle to govern themselves, and that the matter lies largely’ in their own hands. Without? ties self control all other preparation which I have mentioned will lie comparatively useless.— Emily 8. Bouton in Toledo Blade.

Excursions under Paris form one of the features in the movement for the benefit c/ the sufferers from the recent floods in France, and the gorgeous newel’s are liberally patron­ ized by the fashionable world. A reporter of The Gil Blas gives this description: “We started from the Place Chatelet at 3 o’clock an I descended a little winding stair­ case, the steps and walls of which were cov­ ered with a green cloth fringed by a red bor­ der. There is not the slightest danger pf soil­ ing your < lothes or of encountering the slightest disagreeable odor. On arriving ut the foot of the stairs a fine display of fruits and vegetables was the first thing to greet our eyes. These products were from Genne- villiers, and were grown in gardens that are watered by the sowers. We got into a wagon, in which were seats for twenty per­ sons. Off we went, shoved along by solid looking fellows, all neatly dressed. Aliove us was a mass of tubes and pipes. They are the water pipes, the two largest containing our drinking water from the Vaune and the water of the Ourcq, whith is used for washing the streets ami sidewalks. Then there are the pneumatic tubes, in which we can hear the rattle of the dis|>at<*h I Mixes as they shoot along. “Suddenly we heard the passengers In the wagon ahead of us uttering cries of admira­ tion. We were under the Rue de Rivoli, but soon we reached the crossing of the Rue du Pont Neu f. This tunnel is lighted from end to end with garlands of colored lamps. The effect is fairylike. The same effect fa repro­ duced under the Rue du Louvre, the Rue de Richelieu and the Place des Pyrainides, where precisely under the statue of Joan of A'rc ap­ pear in luminous glass the arms of the city of Paris. We passed along, still following the Rue de Ilivoli, where each house has its num­ ber in the sewer, just as in the street, until we reached tho Plnve I m . (’<>><« tor« it*. There the electric lights, crossing their fires with the re­ flections of the Venetian lamps, turti the square into a sort of ball room. Nothing is wanting, not even the music. Wo all got out of the wagons to embark in large boats fur­ nished with cushioned neats. The itmfcic was in the first boat, which was decorated with flags and lunqis. The boats were started. We followed the entire route of the Rue Royale by the light of fifty dazzling electrio lights. “After a quarter of an hour in this boat we landed at the foot of a staircase, which we mounted,, and in three minutes we were above ground at I ji Madeleine. It is much colder in the street« than it was in the sew­ ers, where the temperature, sum-mor and winter, is always unifdrmly pleasant."—New York Hun. Decline In the Onti'k'li Feather Trade.
