ceiving us much as four months' education in
a year.

It Is understood that the Republican

ncmbors of "do gang" were chuckling
n the Farnam street resort about the at-

Homo Very Curious Cuntoms of the
Qucnr Cclostlaln.
From the Good Housekeeper : The
highest ambition of a Chinese contleman
is to have a nice coflin and a line funeral
writes Wong Chin Foo.
Old women instead of young nro the
idols of society.
Love making is only done three days
before marriauo. It is not only consid
ered the safest way to got ahead of a
rival , but the surest way to get a wife
without losing much time.
A previous acquaintanceship between
the mule and female prevents them from
marriage. For this reason a man seldom
weds a girl trom his own town.
A man could borrow money on the
strength of having a son , but no ono
would advance him a cent if ho iiad a
dozen doughtcrs. The former is resnon-
siblo for the debts ot his father for three
generations. The latter is only responsi
ble for the debts of her own husband.
When n Chinaman moots another ho
shakes and squeezes his own hands ;
covers his head. If great friends had not
seen cacli other for a long time , after the
mutual hand-shaking they would rub
shoulders until they become tired. In
stead of asking each other's health , they
would say. "Havo you eaten your rice ?
Where are you going ? \Vhat is your
business when you got there ? How old
are you , and how much did you pay for
your shoes ? "
Men wear long petticoats and carry
fans , while the women wear short jackets
and carry canes.
Heats are drawn by carriages ; carnages
moved by sails.
Old men play ball and fly kites , while
children fould their arms and look on.
If a Chinaman desires the death of an
enemy ho goes and hangs himself upon
his neighbor's door. It is a sure cure , to
kill , not only that particular enemy , but
members of his entire family will uo in
jeopardy of losing their lives.
When a Chinaman desires a visitor tc
dmo with him ho does not ask bun to dose
so , but when ho docs not wisli him to
stay ho puts the question : "Oh , please
stay and dine with mo ! " Tiiovisitor will
then know ho is not wanted.
A rich man's servant gets { no salary ,
yet many are the applicants ; while bic
salaries are paid to the servants of the

and are the sole reasons of these differ
ences.
When n Chinaman cxnccts n present ,

Electric Railways.

Within the last fortnight nearly a dozer

of how fast the new cars can bo turned

Now York WortflYcstordny was a
dark , red-letter day for Coney Island.
The morning was gorgeous , and along
about 1 o'clock a heavy shower raised
the lake so that bathing was good all the
rest of the day.
A great many people wont down there
to rest and see how much they could
lift. I notice thnt people who go away on
au excursion for rest most always look
moro rested when they go away than
when they come back.
At Coney Island a creat many labor
ing people get rested by seeing how
much they can strike at live cents per
strike , lou can got anything there al
most for five cents a sandwich , a glass
of beer , a slice of watermelon , a ridu on
the Brighton stage , a whack at the
strength tester , or anything almost that
heart can wish , from a breczo to a bil
ious colio , from a flexible sandwich to a
strangulated hernia.
It iiflbrdud me muck pleasure to watch
the bathers pump up and down in the
dark blue sea aud spatter each other
with water. Beauty was not very plenty
yesterday on the beach. Aside from n
tall , reddish gentleman from this city ,
whoso name ought to bo Esau , anil who
hau moss on the north side of his limbs ,
there were few fine-looking men , and so
when I went in it attracted gen oral atten
tion. The ladies were mostly of a uni
form style of beauty , but not wildly beau
tiful at the time I was in. I heard that
the best looking onus waited , however ,
until I had go no homo.
Bathing costumes seem to bo similar
this year to what they have always been.
In stockings jou occasionally see a pair
in odd shades like b.ib.v elephants' breather
or smothered shrimp pink , with em
broidered soft-shell crabs on them , but
they are mostly black.
The oddest thing I saw in stockings
yesterday , I think , was an artiticial foot.
They are still using the same hacks at
Coney Island that were otfercd to Wash
ington in which o cross the Delaware.
Ho , however , decided to skate across , for
these hacks were very old even at thnt
timo.
The "Wild \ \ oman of the Cat kills" is
still ou exhibition at tbo museum. Girls
who are a little inclined to bo wild will
do well to see her. 'tyey would uover bo
wild any moro. |
I then uathed. I feel quite proud of
my suit , because it docs not bag at the
knees. This. I presume , is because the
capacity of a bathing-suit for bagging is
comparatively liirfltcfd , and as mine
ecems to bag everywhere else , it cannot
find , time to bag at ( .he , knees.
Leaving my clothes , , my conscientious
scruples and my tccihfm charge of my
valet , I madly waded out to meet my
doom. If I had be oil going out to meet
anybody else but a moist doom 1 would
have dressed differently. I heard several
low , wealthy people soy , "Get onto the
gun-wiper going out to monkey with the
tide. " One gloriousildoking being , with
her bathing trousers rolled up at the bottom
tom so that they could not get wet , said ,
in a tinkling voice : "Thoro is a man who
ought to have a sinker tied to him.
lie will never drown , but if a land breeze
springs up pretty strong ho will drift a
long way out to sea. "
I did not tell her that it was mv inten
tion to drift out to see , because 1 was not
acquainted with her , but that was really
what I drifted out for.
After 1 had inhaled ail the salt water
that 1 thought was good for mo 1 retired
from the surf. I then dressed myself ami
strolled along the strand. There is no
charge for strolling along the strand.
The poorest man in Now "York , armed
with a largo , warty club to keep oA' the
bunko men , may stroll along the strand
with perfect safety.
Presently I came upon a young woman
who was sitting by herself , gazing out to
sea and weeping. At first 1 thought she
was crying because some ono had stolen
her clothes while she was in the surf , but
I soon saw that I was wrong.
She had her bathing suit on aud was
sobbing and stabbing largo holes in the
Band with her toes.
"Pardon mo , " i said , with the air of a
man of the world , "has your train gene
away and loft you.or have you swallowed
ono end of a breaker , as I did ? "
"Please do not make game of me , sir , "
she said , at the same time shrinking back ,
"it is nothing that could in the least inter
est you. Go away. "
"No , " said I , huskily , "I cannot go
away until the next boat aud I would bo
tickled almost to dcjath if I could partici
pate in your sorrow. I have no card
with mo , but I am connected with the
press and it would bo bettor to give tlio
story to mo and let mo got your oxaot
language than to have it garbled by the
ether papers. Whore do you reside ? "
"I reside at present in Now York , "
she said gulping down a sob three sizes
too largo for Her , "and I am utterly
alone. "
"Well , why don't you girls in Now
York who are utterly alone have a re
union this summer vt the Polo Grounds ?
I have not been in Now York very long ,
but smco I've been there it seems to mo
that you and the other utterly lonely
girls have taken the town. What brought
you to Now York may I ask ? "
"i caino there to obtain employment ,
and it is all so strange and so harsh and
HO heartless thoro. " She then took oil'
her oilskin bonnet r.nd wept it almost
full.
full."What kind of work had you boon ac
customed to } " i < i
"Well , I had not doup anything , but
had a good general education and could
take notes in shorthtmd'if a man would
not talk too fast. I could also soon learn
to operate a typo writer.1 think.
"You had read In the papers , then ,
about the young wopia i who came to
Now York and.aftcr playing on the tjno-
writer for six months in the ollico of a
wealthy widower , married him ? "
"Yea , I had read thutv'but 1 did not ex
pect to do it myself. "
"I am glad you did not , for you would
have been disappoint , perhaps. The
opportunities for a young woman , to ob

win the esteem of such a one and lull him
to rest by knocking a few low , throb

would advise you not to depend ou lind <

"Thon what would bo your advice ? "
"You say you never stenographed vcrj
much ? "
"No , but I studied it at school and car
make all the characters after I think i
little whilo. "
' 'You think you could take down it

talker his postotlico address , I mean ? '
"Oh , now you are guying mo. O
course 1 cannot write shorthand vcn

"What salary would you expect whllt

"Oh , 1 would not demand a largo sal

"No , sir , I couldn't do any of those. "
"Then , if I were you , I would go homo.
I would abandon Now York to its fate

might teach school next winter , perhaps ,
and do well.
"With your knowledge of stenography
you might successfully teach it , no
