Now we are in a position to answer a question e,t the outset ofthe paper, as to the origin of the term translated "for- eign devil," It is literally "ocean de- mon," a forcible Chinese term for pirate. The usual term "sea robber" became "ocean demon" after this Chinese experi- ence of unscrupulous foreign pirates who became marauders on shore as well. From the Chinese standpoint, was not the term justified in those days? And not only did the Portuguese nation fur- nish one or two unworthy specimens of Europeans, but so did Holland, and so did England, in the years which fol- lowed. The China seas, in addition to their own bands of native pirates, Imamate in- felsted in those early years with far more daring piratical spirits from these three nations. .And, at first confined to the coast, the term "ocean demon" or pirate gradually spread into the inter- ior, being propagated from place to place in reports and rumors which doubtless magnified the actual doings of the law- less Europeans into deeds of fiendish atrocity. Then after a generation or so the term "foreign demon" was utilized by mothers with fractious children, much as the name Bonaparte was for a while in England: "If you don't stop that noise, I'll tell Boney to come and take you!" Tho mention of "ocean fiends" was found to afford a potent sedative for' blatant juveniles, and so it has con- tinued in use, since the sixteenth cen- tury until the present generation, an in- teresting if unpleasant instance of Chin- ese conservatism. We suggested at the start that it is dying down in many places. Having been so long lived in the past, it is dy- ing hard. And, as all well admit, it has been the missionary foreigners, or the more genial men and women of that class, who have been the chief agents in changing it for something better. Not that the foreign babies have not helped, When in the 'GO's Dr. Porter Smith, of . Hankow, walked in the Chinese streets with his little child on his shoulder the Chinese exclaimed: 'He cannot be a for- eign devil. See! he is smiling at his little child."—East of Asia Magazine. .Pawnshop Emblem Taken From the dukes of Medici.

A peculiar interest attaches to the death of Mrs. Esther Summer Damon of Ply- mou.th Union, 'Vt., who died the other day at Zhe age of 92 years, from the fact that she was the last of the "Revolutionary Widows." That account is now closed on the pension books of the United States. The War of National Independence ended in 1733, and yet we find a widow of a soldier of that war a pensioner of the Government in 1906. The question will naturally arise, how can it be? Well, according to the records. Esther Wainer, the old lady who has just died, an twit cousin of the famous Stunner, was born at ngust lst, 1814. At the -ooh Damon, a veteran statesman, Char) Bridgewater, Vt. age of 21, she of the Revolution, rihen ''16 years old, and' after a courtship of two weeks they were married. He served more than five years during the war in various organizations, and heard British bullets whistle in several en- gagements, There is no doubt about that, according to the records of the Pension Bureau at Washington. Why the young wo- man married the old soldier is a matter of conjecture, but she 'was one of many who about that time made similar matrimonial venture, presumably for the scant pension that congress had decreed to all widows of soldiers of that war. Damon is said to have been impecunious and helpless and his young wife had to aid in his support during the few years that be lived. Then she was award- ed 83 per month pension, which was after- wards increased to $12, and a tew years ago was doubled. She was e.lso awarded $200 a year by the Vermont Legislature and the Daughters' of the American Revolution in that State contributed to her support during the last few years of her life. But at best the income was meagre, and she earned a little money by sewing and nursing, until old age made work impossible. She had other offers of marriage, after her veteran died, but refused them all. Mrs. Damon was legally entitled to all she got from the Gov- ernment. But the law was defective and has now been so modified, that there is no longer any inducement to young women to marry old soldiers, for the 'pension money. METHOD IN EIS RASHNESS. Jenkins Fight the Burglars? No, Not He! EVILS OF PAYING IN ADVANCE. Business Man Shows How Many Persons Make a Great Mistake. "Never pay for anything in advance and half the trouble in households and in housekeeping will be avoided," said the manager of a large business house. "It is a habit on the part of some peo- ple, this paying in advance habit, and if you will take the trouble to keep tab on it you Will' observe that such people are, more or less, considerably more than lees, in Trot water figuratively most of the time. This is .particularly true as regards the performance of labor on the part of other individuals, or where oer- tain things or articles are to be made for another. It is the indulgent, easy house- keeper who pays her help off before it is due whoahvays slugs the saddest and the longest song on the household do- mestic problem. "Never pay for goods, oT a garment, for instance, until you get it and it suits you and not its,rmaker, though this has no reference for goods bought outright an a etore which are to be delivered. And in this class of purchases, if you wish them at a specified time, otherwise they. would -be of no use to you, pay on deliv- ery; then you will in all probability get them at the hour you and not tete other party want them delivered. "If you will take the trouble to ob- serve in lawsuits Brought by tradesmen. most of them are for balances clue rather than for the entire amount of the bile. One of the main reasons why 'the well- towdo seem to get what they want, and you don't if you are poor, is because they seldom pay for articles until they are received, and not then if they don't suit, but iii• your ease it is you and not the other felloxv who seems to get stuoic on the transaction. This is because tlets class of people put into practice the prin- ciple I and expatiating upon of never paying for things hi advance.'--Weiah- iugton Star. For years poor. overworked Jenkins had registered his nightly "kick" against the incessant playing of the piano by his two girls, aged respectively 16 and 17. He needed rest and quiet, he said, but the madam couldn't , see it that way, being much desirous that the girls should have "as much practice as possible." About 1 o'clock the other night Jenkins was suddenly awakened by his wife ex- claiming in a hoarse tone that she was sure there were burglars in the parlor. "Nonsense!" growled Jenkins, turning over preparatory to renewing his slum- bers. • "But, Richard," persisted his wife, "I am sure I heard men in the parlor. Some one stumbled against the piano several times, striking the keys!" Whereupon Jenkins, with demoniacal smile, hastily leaped from the bed and began to slip on his dressing gown, evi- dently with the intention of immediately interviewing the nocturnal visitors down- stairs. Observing his determined air, Mrs. Jenkins began to be uneasy. "Oh, Richard," she wailed, "don't, for my sake, do anything rash. Remember your family- Don't be rash!" "Rash!" scornfully repeated Jenkins. "Depend upon it, I shall do nothing rash, I'm going to help those fellows. You don't suppose that they can get that piano out unassisted, do yon.?"—Lippin- eott's Magazine. Varied Englishman.
