The price of Chineae carts in Pekin ia verv generally fixed at ten centa an honr. Yet one ctn never be engaged, if the price ia discn-sed in advance, withont at least half an hour'a argument. If cue la taken without previona agreement aa to price, and at the concluaion of the ser- vice the proper far. be offered the driver, he will invariably demand more. If this ia refnaed the driver will £;enerally go quietly away. But if through ignorance or mista- ken KCnfirosity a larger aum be offered the driver fliea into a rage, throwa the money on the ground, demands three timea aa much and a threat to appeal to the police or an hour'a argnm^. -t ia necessary before quiet ia r^tored. A wealthy American gentleman, being in Pckin in hia journey around the world, complained jO ma of the high pricea charged by.Chineae inn-keepera for rooma. He had so he said, offered $2 in payment for a amall rocym without bedding or furniture in a wretched inn. The landlord demanded $5 fo^ a aingle niuht. A long wranijle reaulted, aiid finally the gentleman offered S3, which the landlord, after more worde, had concent- eA to accept. The cnatomary price for such a room, fcjmd not included, ia twenty centa, and if the gentleman had offered thia aum it would have been accepted without much discna- sion. The lack of laws or of their enforcement, for standard weighta and meaaurea gcea far to facilitate tricks of trade in China. Cloths of all sortSj whether of ailk, linen, wool, or cotton, are sold by the foot. But the merchant invariably uaea one foot when he b'uva, and a shorter one when he sella. Tne root for cotton goods ia longer than that for woolen, which in turn is longer than that used to mt^aaure ailk. Steelyarda are regularly made and aold in the marketa having two aeta of pounds mea- aured on them, one for buyine; and one for selling. I have seen a respectable Chineae gentleman and a fisherman quarreling over the pri e, or rather the weight of a live carp, each having hia own ateelyarda, which made a difference of a pound and a quarter in the weij^ht of the fi.-h, which at the ut- most could not have weighed over four poundx, unleaa, indeed, as is aometimes the case, the honeat fiaberman had forced a pound or two of coarae gravel into ita atomach. In buying varioua grades of cotton-wool one gets a' v.:krying number of ounoes to the pound. H'or the coarae gradea one gets six- t«en, a full pound; for medium qualities but twelve, whilfl for the very finest twenty- two ounces are called a pound. Of conae auoh variations, regulariy eatab- liiihed by cuatom, practically counterbalance themselvea, the prtce varying in accordance with the weight. At the aame time it ia quite impoastble to find either reaaon or aeuae in aueh practicea. If an explanation ia a^ked of the most intelligent Chinese he I hcta /lOne to give beyond the remark that it is an old cuatom. I have often been trapped into the pur- chase of articles which 1 did not want in the foil jwing manner. A dealer in "curios," aa they are called, old porcelains, caah, bronzes, fctc would come in and offer aome object for sale, nuaking a little speech about ita rarity, beautiful form and color, and close by Bay »ug that the price waa only fivj dollars. Not wishing the article at any price, I wou H htkv: " 111 give you ten centa." "Oh, look at It, aee how fine it ia " aaya the merchant. " Can t, I'm busy, don't want it," I say. " Well," saya the dealer, "I want to aell it to vou very much; give me §4.50." 'â-  Ni go away." " All n?ht. it ia yours for ten cents.' â€" Youths Comprnion. Hygitne for Vocalists. Dr. Ryeraon delivered a lecture on «' .-pecial Hiene for Vocalists" in Aasoci- atioii Hill undel- the auspicea of the Toronto Contervatory oi Music. Life and health, be Stoid, were influeuced by various circum- Btauci-s which might be thus classed â€" l^ea- ideuce, ablutiona, clothing, diet, exe ciae, aniustinents and habits. What was con- ducive to the health of vocalists and public spftokerswas also beneficial to everybody. V.ca!i=.t8 must live for their art and must practise aelf abnegation in many matters. They Hhouid never sing when their voices were not in good condition, as from a cold, or in the open air. In singing " encores " the same soug should not be repeated, be- cause It was rarely sung so well the second as the first time also tecauae it waa a great B'rain if ijicched high. Moderate exercise wus essential to health. Tde apeaker also recoiiimtuded breaihiug exercises to increase the "wind." Fulness of tone depended on the aniplitude ot the air wave, not on shout ing. A conbideiable interval ahould elapse between eating and using the voiceâ€" for singers at least four hours, and for speakers two or three houra. Evening parties, late hours, too much amoking, and the abuse of alcohol were liable to ruin the voice. A Barbarian Legend- There ia current among the peasants of Bivaria a legend that the long life of Kai- ser Wilhelm was due to a mysterious phil- ter ot which hia Imperial Majesty alone possessed the secret. How the Emperor obtained the magic beverage ia not known. It was said to be a kind of spirit which, if it did not give him immortality, would enable him to live many years more, and aupply him with sufficient bodily auid mental pow- er to retain the government of hia vaat em- pire in hia own hands. The legend further- more states that the German sovereign con- descended to make a present of a few drops of the charmed liquid to Marshal Moltke and Prince Bismarck, hence also their re- spectable age but, atrange to aay, he de clined to give any of it to the Crown Pnnce, because he feared his heir would make use of hia health reatored by the philter to force him to abdicate. Several crowned heads have, it appears, applied to the Emperor for his wonderful secret, but m vam. The Czar, in particular, prayed for aome of the spirit, and it was the refusal of the Kaiser to oblige him which was the real cause of the present conflict between Russia and Germany. â-  Imitation la aometimea called the sincere form of flat- tery.
