CHINESE SOLDIERS.
They Are Regarded With Averefon by
Their Own Countrymen.
The well known olden dislike of,
even contempt_for. soldiers common to
the industrious masses of China, in
town as in country, is based on their
experience that the soldier is a loafer
most of the time aud a terror to his
country when war is in the air. They
have not glorified valor or quite
grasped the beauty, not to say the
duty, of dying for one's country, al
though when they do fight they faco
death with a great indifference.
Discussing this phase of the Chinese
character, Jir. l'oue Noguehi, the Jap
anese writer, says In the course of a
recent article:
"The Chinese hatred of soldiery busi
ness or the encouragement of effemi
nate indolence Is well explained in a
famous ballad writteu by Po Chui,
called 'The Arm Broken Old Man.'
This old man was not infirm until he
received !n his youth an order to be
come a soldier and intentionally broke
his arm In order to be excused from
such duty. Although his arm pained
badly on a cold or rainy day, he was
glad to be thankful for it, for, while
his friends had been killed in the bat
tlefield, he alone could enjoy a long
life."
"What a different sentiment from that
of us Japanese, whose loyalty to the
flag aud the imperial house is taught
to begin with the slighting of our own
lives."—East and West News.
Two Visiting Card*.
In 1S44 when M. tie Lugrene was sent
under I.ouls I'hillppe as minister ex
traordinary "to China the courtesy of
the ambassador greatly Impressed the
Chinese statesmen, particularly their
"doyen.'" After the negotiations had
been completed and M. de Lagrene was
ready to embark a delegation brought
him a great roll of paper. The ambas
sador seeing this parcel at once thought
this was a present, knowing Chinese
methods, but to his surprise they start
ed to unroll the cylinder, which extend
ed to about fifty meters of paper, over
102 feet. Then he learned that It was
the visiting card of the "doyen." In re
turning his modest little brlstol board
the humiliated ambassador added a
few words, which read, "The ambassa
dor of France regrets that he Is able to
offer only these simple words to your
excellency."
That Caught Her.
Mrs. Newcoinb—Good morning. Is
this Miss Wise's private academy?
Mrs. Binks (hotly)—No; it Is not. This
Is a private house, aud these are my
own children. Mrs. Newcomb (hastily)
-Why. 1 thought It must be n school,
because the children looked so educated
and scholarly aud—and rettned, you
know. Mrs. Biuks (genially)—Oh. yes.
of course. Come In and sit down
Lucy, call your sis brothers aud five
sisters and Introduce them to the lady
while T just put 011 my hat to show her
where Miss Wise's school is.—Pitts
burgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
Twice as Much.
A sailor on being asked how be liked
his bride is reported to have remark
ed: "Why, d'ye see. I took her for only
half of me. as the parson says, but
dash me if she Isn't twice as much as
I am. I am only a tar, and she's a
tar-tar."—New York Telegraph.
Suburban Sort.
"But 1 thought you said your new
cook was a jewel?"
"So I did."
"And yet she left the second day?"
"Yes. You see. she didn't like the
kind of setting we provided for her."
