CHINESE TIDBITS.
In the Certh Bslcw. It is r e no 1 that the piii;;a, the se ■•ui l lar r s t of the big eats of Bou:'i Ai.ierlea. , hie r feared innti nor region'1 litiir.au beings as its prey, but on klie < h rnry sought their society. The 1 dloving anecdote from “Animal Artisans." by Mr. ('. .1. Cornl 'ii, long a resident of British Guiana, supports the belief that the puma seeks tho society of man Instead of attacking r fearing him. When making un oxpoditioajip one of the large rivers in a ;i ,i launch our friend gave a passage to an elderly Cornish miner win* was anxious to reaeli the gold fields. Not wishing to Intrude upon Ids hosts, lie did not sleep on board the launch, but always swung ids hammock between two trees on shore. As climbing into a high slung hammock is not easy, he usually fastened it rather low, and ids weight probably brought it to within three feet of the gro^jid at the bottom of the curve. One morning, being asked how he had slept, he complained that “the frogs had made such a noise underneath ids hummock that they had kept him awake.” Rome Indians of the crew who were folding up thi> liamnioek laughed a good deal when they heard this, and being asked the reason, said, still laughing, “Ob, ‘tiger’ sleep with old man last night!” They had found under tlie hammock the mark- of where a piimn hod lain. The noise which had kept the occupier of the hammock awake was the purring of the puma, pleased at occupying the “next berth” below n man.
The Way Vegetables and Meats A re Preserved by the Natives. In China turnips, several varieties of cabbage and seaweed are often prepared for winter by giving them a coat of ' salt and drying in the sun. A vegetable resembling cabbage is sometimes dried in the sun without salt and put away in shallow baskets until ready for use. They have a way also of making a kind of sauerkraut very much as Americans (Jo. The treatment of certain vegetables in this way is a comnmn practice. Tho best native hams come from a region known as the Klnbua district, in Chekiang province. The bams when dressed and ready for curing are carefully placed in vats. A kind of pickle is then prepared of salt, water and a sauce from the soy lienn. which is poured over the fresh hams. After tlie hums have bepn in the pickle a sufficient length of time they are taken out and hung up to dry and occasionally, but not often, smoked, when they are ready for the market. Sometimes a little nitrate of potash is also added to help preserve them, but this '':tion is the'exception and not the rule. It is reported that in the south hams are cured by means of nn alkaline earth and common salt, but so far ns can lie learned no earth of any kind is employed in tlie middle and northern provinces. The famous pickled eggs of China are preserve,! with a pickle made of common mud, salt, saltpeter and soy bean sauce, all mixed together. The eggs are coated with u plaster o) this mixture ami laid away until ripe, when they are ready for tlie table. Prepared in this way they will keep several months.
Old Roman Laws. The old Roman laws, according to Coliiuhoun. conferred on the husband complete empery over tlie wife. All she owned or earned was vested in him, and he acquired the same rights over her person and property ns If she were ids natural daugtiter. The wife, ou the other hand, acquired all the rights to a child and to her husband's nnme and succession In the event of ! an Intestate estate, and she could exercise all the nrlvlleges to which tier sex admitted. The power of tlie ancient Roman father over his offspring was originally perpetual, nor could the child lie emancipated from the father's control during tlie father's life except by ttiat parent's consent, nor did he become sui juris until tile father (being himself sul Juris) died. , when tlie son was emancipated by the simple operation of the law. In those brave days the fattier had legal permission to scourge his children or to send them, fettered like slaves, to work on his estate or even to kill them, choosing whatsoever means for their takiug off Jie thought proper.
Had Been There. “Here’s a firm advertises for a general man. not afraid of good pay, one willing to start at 10 and quit at 3. You have all tlie qualifications to land that Job.” | “All except the $10,000 to Invest in tlie business.”—Pittsburg Post.

I adore them. They’re tlie best half of the world.” Ouida, with severity: "I entirely disagree. The woman ne.rly always leads the man astray," etc. “Women can’t be impersonal." Mr. Cassell plillos< phizes on tlie subject rather materialistiraliy. Ouida departs after inviting Phi!,,-he and mo to visit her at the Lat/gham hotel, where she is biding at present with her mother and an immense dog. Siie carries a portrait of the latter around her neck In a locket, which she detached after dinner and hsmded around for inspection, with tlie remark, “This ii my hero” (perhaps the hero of one of her books^ She asked s iineltody present, “Have you load my last book?” “Not yet.”—“William Allengbam, a Diary."

PAPER MAKING IN KOREA. Hermit Kingdom Supplies Best to China and Japan. It Is nut gene illy known that the best kinds of l in er met with in China and Japan are the product of Korea, it Is claimed by inaiiy that the Korean paper excels the very best that Is made ; iu China and Japan. It is produced entirely by manual labor and without tlie use of any machinery. The raw material used for the better kinds la obtained from the bark of the Prousaonetla papyrlfera, which Is collected In the spring and beaten In water containing a large admixture of wood ashes until reduced to a thick pulp. This Is taken in large ladles and spread upon frames of bamboo so as to form thin sheets. Another kind of paper is made from old scraps trodden Into pulp, much In the same way that grape juice is extracted In some countries, and, though this mode of pulping is slow, it has the advantage of not breaking the fiber so much ns when machinery is used. After tlie pulp has beet! made into paper the sheets are piled up to a height of six feet and then cut Into pieces, to be again subjected to the stamping with the feet. At the same time tho roots and seeds of a plant called taekpoul are added, the soluble parts of which are supposed to give tenacity and toughness to the paper.— Exchange. Reminded Him. A negro pastor was warming up to the climax of his sermon, and his auditors were waxing more and more excited. “1 wahns yer, O my congregnshun," exclaimed the exhorter—“I wahns yer against de sin uv fightin’; I wahns yer against de sin of whisky drinkin’ an’ de sin uv chicken robbin’, an’ I wahns yer, my breddern, against de sin uv melon stealin’.” A devout worshiper in the rear of the church jumped to Ids feet and snapped his fingers excitedly. “Whuffn does yer. my brudder, r’ar up an’ snap yo’ fingers when I speaks uv melon stealin’?” asked the preach er. “Kaze yo’ Jes’ minds me whar I lef mah overcoat.” replied the devout worshiper as he hurried off.
Not Qualified. “Did you intend to drown yourself?” asked the magistrate at Marylebone police court when a cab driver was rel inauded on a charge of attempted sui ' fide. “No. 1 cannot swim." replied tlie man.—London Mail.
