Celestial Oddities.

The Chinese wear white during periods of mourning, never black. The old men playfully fly kites, while the boys look on, as in Japan. They whiten their ahees with chalk, instead of blacking them, and mount their horses from the off side. The men in China wear the petticoats, while women invariably wear pantaloons. Men run the dressmaking and millinery stores, and every man carries a fan, either in his hand or tucked in the collar of his dress, behind the neck. Women smoke on all occasions. When a man has _snffered an injury at the hands of another, and desires revenge, instead of killing his offender he kills himself, believing that the man whom he hates will be held accountable for his death, and will be fearfully tormented by demons in this world and in the next. If a Chinaman wishes to especially honor any one, he assigns him to a standing or sitting position on his left hand. Instead of a Japanese woman compressing her feet as her Chinese sister does, she has a custom far more disgusting. They naturally have fine teeth, but when a woman marries she is compelled by custom to dye her teeth black, which process is repeated every few years. The effect is hideous in the extreme. The most important article of a native woman’s dress is the obi, or sash. This is usually of a costly material, and is tied behind in a huge bow with the strict st care. When a Japanese woman becomes a widow asd signifies her determination never to marry again, she ties the obi in front, 't hey seem to smoke all the time. Tlie tiny Japanese pipe contains but two or three whiffs, and as the tobacco is rolled up j tightly in the fingers before it is in- ] serted, the ash when shaken out is a 1 small tire-ball, from which a second pipe is lighted. At a Japanese feast | the same cup is passed from hand to j hand, each person rinsing it in a bowl ! of water after using and before offering it to another. The lowest classes of Japanese are buried in a s uatfcing posi- , tion, in a sort of barrel. It is a mistake , to suppose that the burying of the dead , is universal in Japan. The rich and | noble are buried in square coffins, J the bodies being partially preserved j from decay by filling the nose, ears, | and mouth with vermilion. After death i the person receives a new name. This I name is “Okwuna,” or the accompany- | ing name. It is customary on the occa- ; sionof the first visit to a house to carry i a present to the owner, who gi es j something of equal value on returning i the visit. Cats in Japan are found with stumps where there should be j tails. Sometimes this is the result of art,and sometimes the result of shorten- " ing. All the temples of Japan, as well as of China, ha e guests’ apartments, ] which may be secured for a consideration, either for a short or long period of time. It is wrong to suppose that ; there is any desecration of a,,, sacred i shrine for the purpose of using it as a hostelry; it is the custom of the country. 'lhe practice of suicide by dis- | emboweling js of great antiquity. On entering a Japanese house tlie native removes bis sword, leaving only his dirk. The rooms of the house are divided by paper screens, which form partitions, and they may be made into .) one room at will. —Hong Kong letter. I It Was an Accommodation Train. j It was on a Chicago, Burlington & ' Quincy accommodation train that a passenger got mad at the conductor for i compelling him to pay his fare. "Tlie passenger was trying to ride on the strength of his having held an anuual pass the year before, hut the conductor scouted the idea, and said something about last year’s bird’s nests. As the official was about to leave the car the passenger, in the style of cowardly men when the objects of their wrath are out of hearing, muttered: “If this wasnTon "a Train Tiff lick'that thievish rascal out of boots. ” - —lk—happened in this case that +l«q conductor was not quite out of nearing/ His quick ears overheard the remark, and he turned with a savage: “What’s that?” “I say if we were not on board a train I’d make it hot for you. I’d ask you outside and do you up.” “You would?” “Yes. I would?” “How long would it take you to get ready to do a job like that?” “About a minute.” “Well, then,” replied the conductor, pulling off his coat and giving a vicious yank at the bell-rope, “peel off your duds; there’s a nige bit of prairie along the track, here, and I'll give you all the I satisfaction you want. This is an accommodation train, put on by the company on purpose to suit the convenience of passengers, and orders on the C., B. & Q. are to treat all travelers wi h reBpect and pay attention to all of their wants. Are you ready ?” But the passenger concluded he’d , rather Pave the train hurry on. He was afraid he’d miss his connection. —Chicago Herald.

Bathing.

Bathing is good for robust people; but thin, lean, cold people should be cautious and chary in the use of the cold bath. It is •weakening, as every one knows, from the sensations experienced. Boys ofjjen injure themselves by frequenting bathing. It is only good wWn felt to be bracing and strengthening. It sometimes occasions a deafness, when the water gets into the ear, and cannot easily be expellbd. Physicians are very indiscriminate in their bath prescriptions and very unwise. We have known many cases in which their advice has proven most injurious. The Chinese never bathe. We.know a wealthy old man, who died of an accident at 84, who strongly protested against bathing; he had learned in early life its weakening effects, and early discontinued it. Still there are exceptional cases. Let every man use his own judgment, and not blindlyvfollow a rule. Kemember that this is the era of private judgment, and every man is called upon to exercise it. Some, are strengthened by bathing; and washing or rubbing with a wet towelis sometimes conductive to health, when bathing is not. The Woman’s Relief Corps, of Massachusetts, has 4,745 members.

THE COCAINE HABIT.

Tho Worst Slavery Known—Now Rovela- * tion* of Power. . ' , Cincinnati Timm-Star. When cocaine was discovered the medical world exclaimed, “lhank heaven!” But useful as it is, it is also dangerous, especially when its use is perverted from the deadening of pain for surgical operations, to the stimulation and destruction of the human body. Its first effects are soothing and captivating, but the thr&Udom is the most, horrible slavery known to humanity. J. L. Stephens, M. D., of Labanon, Ohio, was interviewed fey our reporter yesterday at the Orand Hotel, and during the conversation the doctor said: “The cocaine habit is a thousand times worse than the morphine and opium habits, and you would be astonished,” he said, “if you knew how frightfully &o habit is increasing.” “What are its effects?” —— *, “It is the worst constitution wreokor ever known. It ruins the liver and kidneys in half a year, and when this work is done, the strongest constitution soon succumbs.” “Do yon know of Dr. Underhill’s case here in Cincinnati?” “That leading physician who becamo a victim of the oocoaiuo habit? Yes. His case Was a very sad one, but the habit can bo curod. f have rescued mauy a man from a worse condition. ’[ “What, wtrso than Dr. Underhill’s?” “Indeod, sir, far so. Justin M. Hall, A M., M. D., President of the State Board of Health of lowa, and a famed practitioner, and Alexander Neil, M. D., Profos-or of surgery in tho Columbus Medical College, and President of the Academy of Medicine, a man widely known, Kcv. W. P. Clancy, of Indianapolis, Ind , from personal experience in opium eating, etc., can tell you of the kind of huccjss our form of treatment wins, and so cau H. C. Wilson, form “rly of Cincinnati, who is now associated with me.” “Would you mind letting our readers into the secret of your methods?” “Well, young man, you surely have a good bit of assurance to ask a man to give his business away to tho public; but 1 won’t wholly disappoint you. 1 have treated oyer 30,000 pat ents. In common with many eminent physicians, I, for years, made a close study of the effects of the habits ou the system and the organs which they most sevorely attack. Dr. Hall, Dr. Neil, and Mr. Wilson, whom I have mentioned, and hundreds of others equally as expert, made many similar experiments on their own behalf. We each found that these drugs worked most destructively in tho kidneys and liver: In "fact, finally destroyed them. It was then apparent that no cure could be effected until those organs could be restored to health. We recently exhausted the entire range of medical science, experimenting with all known remedies for these organs, and as the result of these close investigations we all substantially agreed, though following differott lines of inquiry, that the most reliable, scient fie preparation was Warner’s safe cure. This was the second point in the discoverv. The third was our own private form of treatment, which, of course, we do not divulge to tho public. Every case that wo have treated first with Warner’s safe cure, -then with our own private treatment, and followed up again with Warner’s safe cure for a few wooKB, has been successful These habits can’t bo cured without using it, because tho habit is nourished and sustained in tho liver and kidneys. The habit can bo kept up in moderation, however, if free use be also made, at the same time, of that great remedy.” “Yes, it is a world famed and justly celebrated specific! Like many other physicians, I used to deride the claims made for it, but I know now for a fact that it is the world’s greatest blessing, having sovereign power over hitherto incurable diseases of the kidneys and liver, and when I have said that, young man, I have said nearly eyerythng, for most diseases originate in, or are aggravated by, a depraved condition of tho kidneys.” “People do not realiz; thiß, because, singular as it may seem: tlie kidneys may be in a very advanced stage of decomposition, and yet owing to tho-fact that there are but few nerves of sensation in .them, the subject will not experience much pain therein. Ou this account thousands of people die every year of kidnev disease unknowingly. They have so-called disorders of the head, of the heart and lungs and stomach, and treat them in vaip, for the real cause or their misery is deranged kidneys, and if they were restored to health the other disorders would soon disappear. ’ r Dr. Stephens’ experience, that can be confirmed by many thousands whom ho lias treated, adds only more emphasis to the experience of mauy hundreds of thousands all over the world,, that the remedy he refors to is without any doubt the most beneficent discovery ever given to humanity. How to Succeed in Business. Don’t worry. Don’t overwork. Don’t make the field too broad. Be wary of dealing with unsuccessful men. Make friends, but don’t encourage favorites. Keep down expenses, but don’t be penurious. .. -ggop a -high vitality; Sleep well, eatwell, enjoy life. Stick to’vonr chosen pursuit, but not to chosen methods. Don’t tell what you are going to do —till you have done it. Enter your charges when the goods are sold. Don’t wait. Make plans for a little way ahead, but don’t cast them in iron. Be content with small beginnings — and f)e sure to develop them. f Don’t take fresh risks to retrieve your losses. Gut them off short. Be cautious; but when you make a bargain, make it quietly, and boldly. A regular system of sending out bills and statements is more effective than spasmodic dunning. Have a proper division of work, and neither interfere nor permit interference with your employes. . It is better for your creditors to postpone payment squarely than to pretend to pay by giving a check dated ahead, : Look after your “blotters”*—and all books of original entry. In litigation they are reliable evidence; copies are not. —The Merchant. ,

This Sea-Water Treatment.

Some of tho Paris physicians warmly recommend the treatment of obesity by the administration of sea water, combined with a residence at the seaside. It is urged that sea water, taken internally, acts like diuretic and purgative salts, a remarkable fact being that the diuretic effect increases when the purgative diminishes. The water is to be obtained, when possible, from some depth and far from the shore, being then left to ‘ settle for six to twelve hours and filtered. It is to be taken three times a day in doses of a small tumblerful, or in half that quantity at a t me, with fresh water or milk. The claim is that sea wafer thus used facilitates the oxygenation of the blood, and that it hasted! the elimination of effete materials. In combination with this treatment sea-water baths are to be taken, free exercise is to be carried out, and at the same time fattening foods are, of course, to be avoided.

A Word to Mothers.

I Teach yonr boy to be courteous and obliging. This you can do in the nursery by precept, but can also point out to him when! abroad the courteousness of other gentlemanly boys, and show him how muoh you admire it. An unselfish and non-self-indulgent boy will generally grow np a gentleman in manner; at all events, the converse is true. Teach your child to be honest and honorable in all his doings and dealings with his brothers and sisters; and teaqh him, too, that rare virtue, charity, which ever follows at the heels of truth. Order and regulation are no mean acquirements. If they be not taught early they will never be learned. A child should be made to put his toys away, each in its proper place, and even to know where he puts his clothes, so that he could find them in the dark. So will he be tidy in person, tidy in the apartment he occupies, and orderly and tidy in life. I need not tell yon to teach yonr child to pray, nor remind you how religion softens one’s path through this world, and lengthens life itself by giving hope and calm in the hour of peril and sickness.

“Coca” Not a New Remedy.

Notwithstanding the prominence attained by coca, within a comparatively recent time, it was in fact introduced some years: ago in France, where it has rendered most valuable service in therapeutics. Professor Pouchardat considers the coca as a stimulant to the nervous and muscular systems, and terms it also a “substance depargne, ” or that which prevents the rapid waste of v tissue, aud thus enables the consumer to go a long Tine without food. The leaf contains an essential oil, which is of an aromatio odor coupled with the flavor of the fresh plant; and the slightly acid and bitter taste of the leaf is attr.buted to the presence of tannin, and to the alkaloid —somewhat akin to atrophine—so well known as “cocaine. ” A pharmacist, named B ain, was the first, or one of the first, to introduce it into medicine, years ago, in France, in the form of elixir aud wine, useful in prolonged convalescence and in great prostration of strength.

“Pa, what sort of a house is that ?” “That, my son, is the Texas blind' asylum. ” “Blind people live in there?” “Yes, Johnny." “They can’t see, can they?” “No, my boy.” “Then what has the house got windows for, if they can’t see?” —Texas Siftings.

To Err Is Human.

But it ia positively inexcusable to administer or take narcotics or potent sedatives to relieve intranquility of the nerves, the easily discoverable cause of which is simply indigestion. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is the remedy indicated when the nervous system is weak, and consequently super-sensitive and untranquil. Braced and quieted by this superlative tonic, the system obtains heedful repose at night, dyspeptic qualms cease to disturb the stomach, aud mental inquietude disappears. The habit of body bocomes regular, the liver and kidneys aro healthfully stimulated, and bodily or mental exertion ceases to be a wearisome and difficult- task. Neuralgia, rheumatism, and malarial disorders and kidney troubles are entirely eradicated by this matchless iuvigorant and regulator.

The Professor Of an academy in Vermont was cured of catarrh by Hood’ii Sarsaparilla, and writes the following interesting statement: *1 cheerfully give my experience In the nee of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I had been troubled with catarrh to some extent for a long time, and had used various medidnea with no good results, when 1 was so affected that speech was somewhat difficult, and my voice was entirely unnatural. I, then began to use Hood’* Sarsaparilla aa a remedy, and with such good effect that In a few weeks speech was easy, tha voice natural, and my general health was much Improved. Sometimes a return of the disease is Induced by taking cold, when I resort at to the use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which I keep by me constantly, and always find relief. 1 regard Hood’s Sarsaparilla aa an invaluable remedy for catarrh, and judging ( by its effecta upon myaelf I cannot aay too much in lta praise.* J. 8.
