ETSA27GE CHINESE CUSTOMS.
"-China is essentially a land of boroe
steads for the eons, contrary to the
general rule in .western countries, si;
ways- live with their father," said a
missionary who has just returned from
China. Sometimes as many as four
generations vill to found in one habi
tation and as many as fifty human be
ings. In order to accommodate the
ever-increasing' family .additions'" Bre
built on to the rear of the houses, and
sometimes the houses attain a length
of '100 feet.-' The ;" majority of the
bouses ofr China are . built around an
open court and' have no windows t in
the outside walls, for," according to the
Chinese way of thinking, to put an
aperture in" an" outside wall Js to in
vite the depredations of i thieves and
robbers, i In Knebeng, - i. which the
Methodist mission of which I have
charge' is located, 1 the bouses of the
poorer classes among whom I work
are made of mud. The ' very poor of
the city are huddled together in a
couple of rooms, while the better classes
have houses composed of a sueceesion
of rooms, built about open courts.
. Whenever a son marries he always
brings his bride" to; the house of his
father; and if there should be no ac
commodation for the new family in
the old ;- house an addition is erected
in the rear. This addition will be an
exact replica of the original v portion
of the house, as - will be any . others
that mar be built in the future to ac
eomnuxlate the bobs of sons. " In China
everything seems to us to go by eon
trary, and the front part of the bouse
is devoted to the kitchen. Upon enter
ing the house at the front door one
is introduced into the culinary depart
ment, and so important an adjunct to
a household is the kitchen that the
population of towns and cities through
out the empire is reckoned by tne num
ber of kitchens within the walls. Brick
chimneys in China' are -a. thing, un
heard of, and tne smoke from the tre
is allowed to roll lazily along the ceil
ing out into the court or through an
aperture made in the roof. The kitch
en fire is usually built in a -mud stove
for anv other kind of a stove is un
heard of amongthe poor classes.
The dining room is usually: in the
center of the open coort. t Kice is the
principal article"' of -dietr with perhaps
a couple of side dishes of vegetables.
No table is used, the food being set
upon the ground. The members of the
family gather around the dishes in the
center, and provided with -n pair of
chop sticks, start in to help them
selves. .No napkins, spoons, knives or
forks are used. Indeed, although the
Chinaman has seen these necessary- ad
juncts of a European 's table, he docs
not care to use them, lie has. an aver
sion for them. Once when I was trav
eling from Kucheng to the coast, , I
stopped at a native inn, and when my
luncheon was brought in to me I
brought out my knife, fork and spoon.
which it was necessary to carry about
with one.: When the natives saw them
and learned to what use I was put
ting them they exclaimed in horror,
See the foreign leva eating with
things she might kill people with.' The
better classes of Chinese eat three
meals a day, but the poverty-stricken
coolie often has to be satisfied with
but one, for his average pay amounts
to but 10 eents a day.
"The various living and sleeping
rooms of the family are located about
the court on both sides and in the rear,
and passageways connected with apart
ments that, have been built in the rear
of the original building. , These rooms
usually are utterly void of any fur
nishing or decorations, lhere is no
papers on the walls, no ' pictures nor
bric-a-brac other than the ancestral
tables and a few idols. There 4s no
carpet on the floor or any matting, and
of course no chairs or beds. An apol
ogy for the latter is afforded by i
bamboo matting stretched in one cor
ner of the room. The majority, of the
inhabitants of Kucheng are farmers.
They have farms on the outskirts of
the town beyond the walls, and some
of these farms are model. You know,
the Cbineso are the finest gardeners in
the world. At night, however, all of
the stock and farm utensils; such as
they use, are taken into town. Chi
nese farmers never live by themselves
on their holdings, but always within
the walls of a town. Kucheng has
about 5,000 kitchens, or 50,000 jieople.
"There are three: classes of officials
who govern Kucheng, as is the case,
too, with every other city in the em
pirethe literary official, -. who has
charge of the district examinations;
the military official, who is at the head
of about 5,000 soldiers, and the civil
official, who has charge ' of - the civil
and judicial administration of the city.
The literary official comes first in the
esteem of the inhabitants, for the Chi
nese have a firmly rooted sentiment
of admiration for the' man of letters.
The ambition of every person who in
any way is capable of being ambitious,
is to necorae a man of letters, first, be
cause ft . raises him in the esteem of
his fellow men; second, because it. is
a necessary qualification for entrance
into the official class; and. third, lie-
cause he will be exempted from the
payment of certain taxes. . .
. "Examinations are held. at. specified
times and last . for three davs. The
applicants are ushered into numerous
stalls, where they remain during the
three days, and work , upon an essay,
the merit of which is judged mainly
from- its style. Several' thousands of
ten take tho,saraerexamnatioB.( It is
strictly competitive, and only a small
per cent, possibly 10 per cent, can be
successful at one time, inert .is no
restriction, however, upon the number
of times aa unsuccessful candidate may
try to pass, and as a consequence some
poor fellows spend the greater part of
their lives taking examinations,- com
mencing in early youth - and trying
over and over- again until they, are
gray-haired. Often fathers - and sons,
even grandfathers, will take the same
examination. : This system has been
in vogue for, hundreds of years, and
bitterly modern, ideas have been in
jected into it, so that in many cities
it embraces not only, a literary test,
but also tests in other departments of
learning. - '. - ' - .- -;-
'The -language ii very difficult to

years of sojourn in China that , I se
cured an adequate working knowledge
of it. The ebief difficulty arises from
the fact that : the , European ' ear is
not. sensitive enough to detect the vsr
ious tonal s qualities oc Chinese, words.
There are eight tones in the language,
and almost every word is pronounced
in eight different way, which gives to
one monosyllable eight different mean

lable 'sang,' when chanted in a high
pitch means 'clear, when uttered in
a r low - tone means 'umbrella, when
enunciated with a rising inflection on
the latter part of the word means sur

tone rise on. the, long 'a' sound , means
hush,' when , spoken quickly ;with a
fall of a whole note toward the end
means. to scatter,' and when a fall
of a note is made upon the long 'a'
sound, means. coat.' Added to these
subtle changes in pronunciation is an
occasional suffix ending in Ir or k

"Better," as Artemus Ward once said, "not to know so much
than to learn so many things that are not true."
Tlie doctrine 'of po-called fcientific temperanco as taulit lolay in most of
public schools has been for some timo the mibject of conshlcrable adverse criticism
and it is the concensus of opinion of the brightest minb in our prent educational
world, that it contains some truth mixel with more intcrnierate rot. The young
mind today i trained to rega'nl hcer iu the light of poison that will wreck, abso
lute niiri and destruction to the human system, when in fact it is one of the luost
wholesome gifts bestowed upon him by an Almighty Providence.
Beer contains the least alcohol of any alcoholic beverage in the world; in
fact much less than m.ny of the so-called Fpfi drinks that many ill-advised prohi
bition apostles take as a suhstituto. The pre en t day "beer, does not average over
three and one-half percentage ahhpl which is but one part alcohol to over twenty
parts water.
BEER IS A LIQUID FOOD
The UnUcd Stales government considers beer a" nutritious liquid footl.
Beer, owing to the hops contained therein, is held by physicians to be an
excellent sedative, tending to soothe, to allay irritability and pain. The best of
nerve tonics., !-V :.-'''- V : .' ..',.; .'
. The maH extract ip beef furnishes .the nutritious elements. It builds up
the human system, furnishiog new tissues 'in plae of those wasted away. -
Th small amount of alcohol in beer is just enough to furnish a proper stim
ulus w necessary to restore the worn out energy. In the true sense of the w ord,
In-er should not be termed an intoxicant.- Its usefulness as a temperance drink is
being reognizd the world over. Beer drinkers rarely, if ever, aire to imbibe th e
more ardent liquors Jt weans men fiom'the strong liquor habit and consequently
conduces to temperance and sobriety. -
. . Beer is absolutely pure, cleanliness being the most essential need, and the
highest grades of malt and hops are used. At times rome corn products or rice are
used in making certain grades of beer. The statements that sometimes gain cur
rency, regarding the ne of substitutes and adulterations sre absolutely without
foundation, and are given credence only by the ignorant and prejudiced minds.
