the Saute Old Stove Pipe.
This being the season of the year
when uiultitudesof peoplo are
adjusting their heating apparatu.,,
preparing fop cold weather,, some
will roej gouizo their owu experience
in the following amusing description
from. the American Artisan of the
way'it is sotnetitnes done:
In the first place, the roan puts
on au old and,,. very ragged coat.
Then he puts his hands inside ,the
place where the pipe ought to -go,
and blsokous his fingers, and then
studiously makes a .black mark
down the side of his nose. Having
got his nose properly frescoed, the
elan grasps one side of the bottom
of the stove, and his wife and the
hired girl take hold of the other
side, and iu this way the stove is
started from the woodshed to the
parlor. Iu passing through the
door tho man carefully swings his
side of the stove around and jams
his thumbnail against the door
post. Ar last the stove 18 set down
• in the proper place and the • than
and his wife and the hired girl set
out in a triangular search after the
stove legs. Two are finally found
inside the stove, where they have
remained since hist Spring, and
the two others are found hidden
under four tons of Boal. Thou the
old loan holds up oue side of' the
stove, while his wife,puts two of
.. the lugs in place, then he, holds up
the other side while the other two
are being adjusted, and one of the
first pair is displaced. The trick of
getting the four logs into their
proper place is practised with i'ary-
iug results fer some ten minutes,
and by this trine the man gets
excited acid feckless, and throws
of}' his coat, regardless of the con-
sequences.
Then the man goes for tha stove-
pipe and gets a cinder in his eye.
The stove was put up in first-class
shape last year by the stove than,
but this year the pipe proved to be
a little too long. So the elan jams
his hat down over his eyes, takes a
piece oT pipe under each arta, anis
starts for' the tin shop to have- it
fixed. 'Then he comes back, steps
his muddy boots into one of the
best parlor chairs to see if the pipe
will fit, when his wife snakes hint
come down. In the act of deco d-
ing he plants his foot square don
on the hollow of the cat's back, and
comes within au ace of trampling
the baby under foot. 'Then the
Ulan gets au old chair.,from the
kitchen and clitubs tap to the
chiultley opening again, and snakes
the startling discovery that in cut-
ting ori' the cud of the pipe, the
Ulmer had made the pipe too large
to enter the holy in the chimney..
So the man goes into the backyard.
and splits one side of the end of
the pipe with an old axe, and
squeezes it between his hands until
he snakes it smaller.
Then the luau gets the pipe into
shape only to find that - the stove'
does not stand true, Then the
lean and his wife and the hired
girl move rho stove to the left .and
the legs fall out again. The legs
are replaced and the stovo• moved
to -the the right, and there is another
seance with alto. legs. Then' the
elbow is found not to be even with
the hole in the. chimney, and 'the
man goes into the woods'hod after
some little blocks. Thou the man
and his wife and the hired girl
essay to put the blocks under the
legs, and the pipe conies out of the
chimney. The pipe is replaced in
the chimney hole, when the elbow
commences to topple over. .The
mar's wife is visibly agitated, and
the man gets the dining table out
of the kitchen and balances an old
chair on it, and makes his wife hold
the chair while 'he performs ncrol,-
slie t•0a:s on the gland combine, in
an Wort to drive some nails info
the ce'''•ig, (luring which perform..
aura the elan drops the hammer
down upon his wife's devoted head,
and she Surprises hila with ,a yell
null suints of the emulation of a
Comanche l :ellen.
•
binitlly the man .completes the
grand act of driving the nails• ,cou-
si1.11ets a wide swing to hold the
elbow in position, hammers' the
pipe a little on one side and then a
little en the other pulls ono joint a
a little here and pushes another
length a littltld, there, gives vocal
expression to a series of deprecatory
and mildly profane adjectives, takes
a long breath, breathes a deep drawn
sight, of relief, and proudly an-
nnnu •,•, thot the job is finished.-

—Hamilton lost ono of its oldest
citizens in the death of Daniel
Dewey lass, week. Mr. Dewey was

"gate I ban you it piece of

a customer.
"The tailor. tel.ilor. measures it. "It is
not enough:"
"Tho customer gathers up the
cloth and carries it to another
tailor.
"Is there enough of this piece
to snake ale a jt dr of pantaloons 1"
"Yes„ sir : day after to -morrow I
will send then to you by my
sou.
The boy comes with the panta-
loons two days later. The customer
notes that the youth is wearing a
jacket made of the same piece of
cloth.
"Boy„ how is this that the other
tailor slid that there was not enough
cloth for a pair of pantaloons, and
your father has not only made my
pantaloons but also a jacket for you
out of the piece?"
"Sir„ the son of the other tailor

The Annual Devil Festival in
• China.
Chinese Shih Pao.
The Devil festival is said to have
originated in a legend of the mother
of a fabulous person, Mullen ; she
as about t}io wickedest person
then in existence, there being no
crime which she left uncommitted.
After her death, she appeared one
night to her son Mu -lien with a
heavy wooden collar round her
neck, and she—harrowed his soul
with the tale of her sufferings iu
the lower regions. She said she
was enduring the penalty of her
unnumbered sins during her earthly
life and \pleaded with her sou to
deliver her out of the hands of
Pluto. This to him seemed au im-
possible task, as nu human being
can enter the dark regions and re-
turn alive.
She told hint that he must be-
come a Buddhist priest, and that
there was a door in a certain Budd-
hist temple which he could open
and so lot out the prisoners froth
the shades below. The On, beiug
filial, obeyed the behest of his
Mother, and sought out it well-
known Buddhist priest iu a cerosin
fatuous temple and asked to be
admitted as a novice. As his life was
pure .the priest willingly admitted
hiul:• After having been there several
months and learned all the Bashi -
hist prayers; he sought out the door
that led to the Lower Shades,
whither the wicked ones had gone,
and, remembering his mother's in-
struction, he 'knocked open the door.
The Jtidge Pluto -being always will-
ing to release his victims upon the
intercession of saints, he has set all
his prisoners free for a certain
length of time every year, beginn-
ing on the 15th of the seventh
moon, ever since the time when St.
Mu lien knocked open that door.
It has become customary for the
peoplo throughout the country, in
the seventh moon of every year, to
worship their ancestors, whose
spirits are then at 'large. The .
annual Devil festival held by the
Cantonese and . Tuhkienese began
the other day by theatricals, etc., at
their cemetery below, Hsing Hua.
Ohun.It will last three days and three
nights. The people from Canton
and Fuhkien provinces are not few,
and those whose remains aro buried
here aro numerous. The amount
of paper, clothes, money, etc., burn-
ed to the departed is consequently
very great. •The spectators of the-
atrical plays rush in from every
part of the city. Tho streets aro
enlivened by numerous passing
mule carts alid jil.rickshas.
