THE CHINESE NEW YEAR.

Our Mongolian Friends Celebrate It in Right Royal Style. The Chinese new year is celebra ed in a manner somewhat similar to the American Fourth of July. The cele bration at New Year’s time is more patriotic than religious, though religious observance is such an essential part of the Chinese life that it perforce dominates on this occasion. The day of the beginning of the Mongolian year is variable, teing the day upon which the reigning Emperor ascended the throne. From Feb. 1 for four days every Chinaman who can afford it ceas » wor c entirely and gives himself up to enjiyment and exchanging the compliments of the season with his fellows. The joss house is gaily decorated, and the gods, both great and small, are placed on review and receive attention. The wealthier Chinamen keep open house, and tea and sweetmeats are always on tap. During the four

days of celebration every Chinaman wears his best clothes, has his head shaved clean and presents a bandbox api earanoe generally. The more wealthy wear silken robes and mandarin caps. These latter, as they encounter each other in the street, salute gravely by each clasping his hands together in front of his body and bowing his head almost to the ground thrice, reciting a form of New Year’s salutation at the same time. Ceremonies are conducted in the joss houses, and noise of feastiiig and hilarity continues late into the night, the clash and bang and squeak of the orchestra and the shrill piping *of the Chinese singer issuing from many an open door and window. It is then that the Chinese theater is in its glory. It is upon this occasion that the Chinaman gives expression to his exuberance of spirits in fireworks. No American can hope to rival him in the handling of fire-crackers. In this he is lavish and explodes a whole pack with as free a hand as the American celebrant on the Fourth of July explodes a single cracker. . From a pole in front of his store or wash-house he suspends a hundred packs at a time, and then ignites the string at the bottom. From that time there is an incessant rattle, intensified every few seconds by the heavy detonation of a bomb, resembling the musketry fire and cannonading of a battle. Suspended above the doors of business houses are little trays of gods, and at the entrance to the joss houses are the same figures on a larger scale. Here are giants in red, blue and yellow, with formidable weapons in their hands and terrifying animals crouch lug at >heir feet. The services inside the joss houses are carried out on an elaborate scale, and the festivit es never diminish until the four days ate ended. Sometimes they last for two weeks. | Gen.

DR. HARLAN H. BALLARD. I’RESIDENT OF THE AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION, IN POPULAR SCIENCE NEWS, ON THE BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA. In connection with the foregoing ieport of our Ornithological Chapter, it is only right to call the attention of all lovers o’, birds to the magnificent work now being issued by the Natural Science Association of America, and entitle. “The Birds < . North America.” Edition limited to 1.000. I 1 is emphatically an original work, original in design and execution, and whether in letter press, illust ations ot price, it is un^pproachedby anything ot the kind in existence. It is recommended by the highest scientific. ecclesiastic and educational authoiity as being t .e most attractive, imeritori ous, pure and ennobling exposition ot our ornithology yet given to the public. Dr. Elliott Coues, author of Birds of the North West, ” says; “It is a really notable work.“ Prof. C. J. Maynard, author of the “Birds of Eastern North Amelias,"says: “It contains the best pictures of the species which I have ever seen.— Thomas G. Gentry, author of “Life Histories of Birds,” and “Nests and Eggs of Birds of the United States,” says: “It r the cheapest and best publication on ornithology in this country. are of a very high order, and rivals in beauty of design aud finish the more costly works published abroad or in this country. It should be found in our homes and in libraries generally.” And, according to Dr. Theodora Gill, a member ot the National Academy of Sciences, it is not only a meritorious volume, but is altogether so handsome as to make it a very appropriate presentation book or ornament for the family table.* It is an imperial quarto volume of en graved figures of all our species, mtisti cally reproduced, true in all hues of color to their natural plumage and botanical surroundings. It also includes a copious text description of their habits and characteristics, and embracing in general the observations made by the most eminent writers on ornithology, and a systematic table, arranged according to the classification adopted by the American Ornithol- < gists’ Union, includes all the additions and corrections of our North American species which have been made to date, with an index to page, plate and figure of each species according to the A. O. U. number. It is illustrated with one hundred and nineteen full page colored plates, each representing from one to thirty or more species. It is the finest book on American birds issued since Audubon, and is pronounced by some authorities superior to that now rsre and costly work. It is issued in half and full bindings, Russia, seal, or morocco, at the net price of 440 and 445 respectively; but in response to a special letter, the association authorized me to say that a special discount will be made to such of our A. A. members and others as are working naturalists:— We this work especially to members the Wilson Ornithological Chapter. II is also a very useful and appropriate addition to the home and reference library, and for presentation purposes generally. Address regarding it, the Natural Science Association, 114 Fifth Avenufe, New York, N. Y. Samples of plates fend text can be had by sending twenty.five cents In postage stamps. 12m lem.
