Bad boys In China meet much the
same fate that they do in the United
States for ordinary offenses, but if
little Hop Lee or Ah Moo is especial
ly bad he is much more severely pun
ished in China than wicked little Tom
my Jones or Sammy Brown in this
country. Where Tommy and Sammy
would only go to the reform school to
remain until they gave evidence of be
ing better boys. Hop Lee or Ah Moo
might be thrown into a miserable pris
on along with the meanest kind of
ruffians in the empire. Or they might
be sentenced to parade the streets
with a cangue around their necks in
place of a collar. A cangue is a wood
en platform three or four feet square,
with a hole in the middle through
which the head is placed. Then planks
are nailed close around the neck so
that the head cannot be withdrawn,
and the boy, with the cangue resting
on hie boulders, Is turned out to drift
about the town and be taunted by all
the other hoys and by every loafer
that he meets.
Ordinarily naughty little boys In i
China are punished after the same
fashion that bad little boys are pun
ished In this country, except that In
China stern parents use a atrip of
bamboo instead of an apple tree
switch, and while the apple tree
switch Is goad in its way it has not
the wonderfully persuasive effect of the
spilt bamboo.
The Chinese believe emphatically in
the proverb, “Spare the rod and spoil
the child,” and several good strong
pieces of split bamboo are part of the
household furniture in every home
which rejoices In a boy. The school
teacher, besides having small cakes of
India Ink and little wells of water, In
lnvariably on his table also has a heavy
wooden ruler and a rattan stick. If
a boy fails to study as assiduously as
he should do, repeating his lessons
over and over at the top of his lungs,
the teacher will whip the palms of his
hands with the wooden ruler.
If a boy forgets his lesson aud breaks
down In the middle of a recitation the
teacher reaches over the desk and
vigorously taps the slothful student
over the head with the rattan cane.
The hundreds of thousands of peo
ple who live on the boats in the river
at Canton have their own methods of
punishment for had hoys. Some of
these families seldom go on shore or
where it would be possible to secure
a good piece of bamboo and the bad
boys who think that life on a boat far
tway from a bamboo grove would be
a perennial delight might be tlisil
\uslonlzed when they behold the moth
er of a house boat family punishing
Jier wicked offspring. She does not
wait to pick up a switch. Instead she
picks up the offspring himself and un
ceremoniously hurls him into the riv
er. He comes up gasping and sput
tering and tries to crawl back into the
boat, but his Irate mother throws him
back Into the water. When the moth
er thinks the boy has been sufficiently
punished she permits him finally to
crawl on board.
In the homes of Chinese gentlemen,
while the bamboo switch is not al
lowed to he idle, boys are often pun
ished for gambling or smoking opium
by being chained to a heavy weight,
which they are obliged to drag about
with them wherever they go. If lit
tle “O Most Delightful One of the
Golden Lilies'' see> her sn ail brother,
Hop Yooey, smoking opium and run
in and says, "Papa, papa, Yooey’s
smoking again.” the hair of the vener
able parent rises straight tip with hor
ror. And a person who has three feet
and four inches of hair plastered into
a tight braid would be a pleasing thing
to see at the moment that very hair
on his head was standing straight up.
The elder Hop dots not grasp his off
spring by the arm and say, "Young
man, come with me to the woodshed."
but he then and there proceeds to ad
minister the split bam 1)00 with great
earnestness, and then, if he thinks hli
offspring merits additional punish
ment, lie carries him into the hous ■ j
and ctAins his feet to u heavy iron
weight.
as an aauiuonai and mum more
dreaded punishment the wicked Chi
nese youth muy bo refused his share of
the pork which Is annually divided by
each clan family upon their return
from the ancestral graves and which
is regarded as a gift from the departed.
Sometimes parents get rid of bad
sons by simply setting them adrift on
the street or by surrendering them to
prison. Parents sometimes sell their
children and often sons are taken by
■ '.it.
One difference between bad boys In
China und in America Is that in China
sons never get so old but that their
parents can whip them.
Sometimes In China a man 30 or 40
years old can he seen being soundly
thrashed by his irate parents. Thfs
would be a terrible thing for the
American boy, who, no matter what
depths of woe he may he in, looks
fondly forward to the time when he
shall outgrow the switch just as he
outgrows his trousers.
There was an article In one of the
Hongkong papers last summer about
an ageil Chinese woman who looked
out of her window and saw one of her
elder sons, a man of 35, who had long
been married and hail a big family of
his own, passing the house reeling
drunk. The old iady concluded she i
had not been as strict when her son !
was a child as she should have been, j
and so she picked up a heavy piece of
bamboo, and, rushing out into the
street, pounded her big son to her
heart's content and until he had prom
ised to reform and let alone opium and
drink.
The filial respect and devotion in- |
culcated In Chinese boys f/>m their
earliest Infancy would forbSl a Chi
nese boy front ever committing such
a heinous crime as to raise his hand
against his father or mother. The
worst crime of which the Chinese can
conceive is for a boy to strike one of
his parents, and If a young Chinaman
should kill his father or mother the
law visits the most vondlgn punish
ment not only upon him but his neigh
bors and friends.
In most provinces instances of par
ricide have been punished by the im
mediate decapitation of the murderer
and the dividing of the body into
small bits. Then the family home Is
seized by the state and the house
razed to the ground and the earth un
der the house and in the yard is dug
up to the deptli of three feet and car
i ried aw ay. The nearest neighbors on
j both sides of the house where the
crime was committed are floggi d or
exiled, the principal teacher of the cul
prit Is put to death, the district mag
istrate of the place Is removed from
office and disgraced, and the viceroys
of that province the governor of the
province, ami the prefect are degraded
three degrees In rank, Jn one in
stance, In Canton province, a son who
beat Ills aged mother was decapitated
and nil the students in that district
were not allowed to take the great
mate examination for three years.
'i lie Chinese hoy has his sports and
games to help keep him busy and out
of mischief. He llirg kites and plays
at shuttlecock, the shuttlecock ticing
kicked about from one boy to another
and kept in the air as long as pos
sible. Chinese boys who, if they were
in America would enjoy dog fights,
in China amuse themselves by secur
ing large, aggressive crickets and ar
ranging cricket lights. The boys in
China also play at guessing pennies,
and buy oranges from the peddlers
with the agreement that the one who
conn* the nearest to guessing the seeds
in th< orange be allowed to eat it wnile
the other one pays.
Iiut one good friend flip Chinese boy
has, no matter how bad he may be, and
that is the same friend that the bud
American boy has—mother. Chinese
mothers weep over their bad sons Just
like American mothers do, and inter
cede with the fattier to forgive the
wickedness of his offspring.
So even in far off China the bad boy
has his friends, and there as here, no
matter how wicked he is or where he
Is, the fond, loving mother waits
through the night for his return, and
murmurs in words that, in spite of the
fue|t they are spoken in Chinese, arc ai
tender as though uttered in English,
"Come home, there’s a light in the win
dow for you.”
Queer JCinds of "Bread.
The Mexicans make bread of the
eggs of three kinds of Insects. For
this purpose the natives cultivate in
the laguno of Chaleo a sort of carex,
on which the insects readily deposit
their eggs. The eggs, after being sep
arated from the bundles of floating
carex, are then cleaned and sifted, put
into sacks like flour, and sold to the
people for making a kind of cake or
bread, called "hautle," which forms
a tolerably good food, but bus a fishy
taste, and is slightly acid. Bread has
been made from wood and sawdust.
In Kamchatka pine or birch bark, well
macerated, pounded and baked, fre
quently constitutes the native bread.
The Icelander scrapes the Iceland moss
off the rocks and grinds it Into fine
flour, whin serves both for bread and
puddings. In Africa powdered dry lo
custs are mixed with flour for bread,
and during the Indian famine small
stones are said to have been ground
and mixed with meal for bread. On
the western shores of England a cer
tain kind of seaweed (Fhorphyra la
clniatai Is gathered, washed, boiled,
and then baked with oatmeal flour for
bread.
Yu-Keng. the Chinese minister to
France, lives in a luxurious house near
the Arc de Triomphe. He has traveled
a great deal in this country and mar
ried an American woman. He is CO
years old now and has served his coun
try since his youth. He fought with
distinction under General Gordon in
lkfit. and, being descended from an old
Mamhu family, rose tapldly at court.

LINCOLN, Oct. 22.—The supremo
court reversed the order of Judge
Holmes of the district court directing
Secret try of State Porter to certify
to the county clerks the nominations
of the populist party. This decision
will permit the county clerks to use
the prefix, "mid-road,'' put on the sam
ple ballots by Secretary Porter. The
populist candidates argued through
their attorneys that the court had no
Jurisdiction to try the issues of the
case, but upon this rase nil three
judges agreed. Chief Justice Norval,
however, dissented from the Judgment
of reversal. No opinion was handed
down In the case, the decision being
simply entered on the court record.
