EHnnng-iEthy The heathen Chinese are very peculiar. They are not absurd, for they are too much in earnest, and not mad, for there is a vast method running through everything they do. They are not wild, for they reason profoundly ; but from the tops of their shorn heads to the bot- toms of their thick, wooden-so-led shoes they are peculiar. It would take a lifetime to explain their notion of evil spirits and I doubt if there is any Chinaman born who could explain it all. - The location of their houses, and the position of the doors, and of the rooms, and of the beds, is very important. The evil spirits are supposed to travel in a straight line and make very hard work of turn- ing corners; therefore on entering their houses you will find many turns. The more turns in their houses the harder it is for the evil spirit to enter. The great spirit that is everywhere and must be respected upon all occasions is Loong, the Dragon. The great principle that controls everything is the Foong-shooy and the two powers are Yin and Yang, which embody life and death, heat and cold, day and night, wind and water, north and south, good and evil. It is thought that the philosoe phers who hrst wrote of the Foong-shooy meant only that people must have proper regard for the courses of the wind and the currents of water.in selecting positions for homes, roads, bridges, graves and other objects; but it has grown to be such an enormous superstition 111 China today that no matter what goes wrong it is the Foong-shooy that IS out of order. x s . of :7th liaxsz: a :tsrong faithllin anyglthing high as being above the reach . e .

E112 ,Eragraut Enrtlanh 31mm 5 WHERE the Willamette sings sadly Her soft and sweet adieu, Rare roses greet her gladly, Ringing Portlandls praises true. While crystal showers caress the flowers That shout the cityls name, The verdant forest proudly bowers The seeds of rising fame. Su-mme'rls warmth here sheds her smile From March till Autumn,s close, No blasts of Winter oft revilc The fragrant Portland rose. Roses fragrant bloom in June, They bloom throughout the year, Roses, Roses, chant the tune That charms the nationls ear. To Ireland Shamrockls emerald green Is the fairest flower that grows, Those native sons have never seen The fairest, rarest, Portland rose. ' The Highland thistle and fleur-de-lis Are dear to. hearts that are true, But the rose of Portland will ever be The dearest flower to meL-and you. Sweet are the flowers of every clime, And dear to the native eye; No sweeter is found in the annals of time Than the rose, if you search till you die. The poets may sing of the flower when it fades And may grieve for the withering bloom, But the sweet rose of Portland forever pervades The fresh air, with rarest perfume. Rare perfume is wafted along each fresh breeze To country and city otter wild foreign seas, It fouses the lowly and cheers the oppressed, And offers a shelter where all men are blessed. N. NASH.

The temples and pagodas and towers to the Dragon. and such things are raised high in the air, but all the houses must fare alike. . Chinese cities are almost all built of wood, and the Chinese are more or less careless about fire. They smoke incessantly, using little pipes with tiny brass bowls and huge stems. They will puff a few times and then knock the live fire out upon the floor wherever they happen to be. Of course, it is the poorer classes that do this and the result is that fires are constantly occurring and causing much de- struction. The Chinese think these tires are caused by the evil spirits; ISABELLE BROUGHER. $ir Eager anh ttmrihge ltDonec virenti cam'ties a-best 1140mm, mmc et campus at arms C 01xnpositai mpeta-mtw ham? 1 Horace, Carmina, I, 9, 17-20. s I WAS sitting musing one sunny afternoon in my roomat the Washington Apartments, I was aroused by the sound of someoneis rapping at my chamber door. On carefully opening the door-as far as possible in a modern apart- ment-I perceived there, to my 'joy and surprise, my worthy friend Sir Roger de Coverley. He notified me that Will Wimble having made the discovery that a fash- ionable ttbridgeh party Was to be given that afternoon at the Hotel Portland, he had suggested that a party of us take this opportunity to find out what sort of an object this tlbridgeii was. A number of our club members were nowawaiting me at the skating rink. t We met with no difliculty in reaching our destination texcept a slight trouble in deciding which of the stairs on the iiPay-as-you-enteW were meant to be usedethe conductor, however, righted us very shortly ' in every sense of the word. Captain Sentry, undaunted by the ofhcial, said he thought the contrivance on the back platform was a peanut roaster and would not believe to the contrary though assured it was the latest invention for extorting money from the public. . Considering that we werestrangers in the city, we found the Port- land Hotel with comparative ease. We roamed about the grand old place in extreme delight and curiosity for some hours when, by some lucky chance, Will Wimble happened to'spy a room full of ladies who were dressed most elaborately. They were all sitting around small tables which were arranged about the room. Each held in her hand a goodly number of curiously colored and spotted cards, in which she seemed much interested, though, as Sir Roger observed, they all seemed to be scolding their neighbors for something they had or had
